We have received No. l, Vol. l. Of
the Colorado Advocate, published in
Denver. The paper has no editor or
publisher as far as it's columns show. It's
principal mission is to villify Hon. G. 9.
Thomas and will only live through the
present campaign. The Colorado Advo-
cate has every evidence Of being a jour
nalistic bushwhacker.
The trial OF Chaplain Mcintyre at
Denver has been concluded and the find
ings Of the naval courtmartial forwarded
to Washington. It may be several weeks
before tho decision is known but public
opinion has already rendered the verdict
that Chaplain Mcintyre is wholly unit
for the place he occupies. The rules Of
the navy may not have been violated but
his conduct has been wholly unworthy
the christian ministry.
The Philippine islands are partially
in the possession Of the United States
through the fortunes OF war, providen-
TALLY directed. To now relinquish them
to their former oppressors would be Vi
olation Of the dictates Of humanity.
Uncle Sam has had a great responsibility
thrust upon him in this affair and he can
not shrink from it and MAINTAIN national
self.respect rs the worlds greatest expo
nent Of civil and religions liberty.
Tho government has made step
toward that Contamination most de-
vontly to be wlshed"-postal savings
banks. By a recent order a person can
deposit his money at the postoffice and
take a money order Tor the same, paya-
BILE on demand. HIS money will draw
no interest and he will have to pay a fec
Of 80 cents for every 800 deposited.
The advantage to the pnblic is but little
where banking facilities are afforded, but
the new order is matter for congratula-
ton because it is probably the "entering
wedge" for full.fedged postal savings
bank system, which the next congress
should authorize il the wishes Of the peo-
pie are to be consulted.
The county commissioners OF Otero
county in connection with the Denver
Chamber OF Commerce have offered
prizes for the best crop OF sugar beets
raised in tho county this year. The
State agricultural college has sent in-
structions for taking samples, blanks

county who have applied for them. But
it is likely there are yet some who desire
to compete for the prizes and have not
yet made application for tho blanks. II
there are any OF our readers who desire
to compete for the prizes md have not
yet received blanks they Gun get them at

only got fortytive stars-onc for each

You'll have to paint three more, stars

Captain Lawrence, one Of the brav-

the Chesa peake were like slaughter

Lawrence beneath the folds Of the
stars and stripes, Curiously enough
her name was changed to the St.
Lawrence when she was brought to
England in 1915: but five years later
she followed her foe, the Shannon,
to the shipbreakers. She had cost
the American government 100000
to build Her purchaser bought her
for $500, and made large profits by
selling her tinibers to house builders
in Portsmouth. But by far the
greater portion OF them were worked
into flour mill at Wickham, a vii
lagc in the Neon valley in.Hampshire
where her decks remain practically
unalLered as the floors OF the mill,
while all the beams and joist5 are
constructed Of her timbers. The
brick walls were built around them
in 1920. but even now the bullets re-

still be seen where SO many English

The American squadron, augment

about 1890 y. nl., the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance to the harhor

Orleans was detached and steamed
forward ahead of the Iowa, Texas
and Massachusetts. One OF the forts
opened fire on her and she replied,
other ships directing their fire at the
battery on punta GurCIa, Within tho
harh0r, and 10 the westward OF the
position occupied by the Spanish
ship. The latter replied to the fire
and Immediately became the target
for all the American ships engaged
in the battle. She retired behind
