tsstaia vlslssss - the Dsavsr Carnival
The coming Festival of Mountain
and Plain to be held In Denver, Sep
tember 18th to September 30th, will,
beyond all question, be the banner eel.
ebfaticn In Denver's history.
Never before have such elaborate
preparations been made by the board
OF directors, and never have the vari.
ous committees worked with such en-
thusiam. Never before has there been
such q demand for seats, especially
from residents Of the country districts,
and 1t Ii now q certainty that the ca
pacity Of the grand stand will be
taxed to accommodate the thousands of
spectators.
The program arranged for the week
cannot fail to appeal to all classes of
citizens. There will be one continual
round Of entertainment from Monday
until Saturday.
While the former festivals have oc-
cupied but three days and a legion of
entertaining features have been crowd
cd into that time. thus depriving many
visitors OF needed rest and time to visit
their friends and properly look over the
city, the board of directors this year
has determined to devote the entire
week to the festival.
Two essentially new features have
been included In the list OF attrac-
tions-the exposition and state fair and
the hOrse show. The fair will he open
on Monday and continue through the
week. and from the applications for
space already received from farmers,
horticulturalists and manufacturers
throughout the state, its success is nj.
ready assured.
The horse show Will he held on Fri.
day and Saturday. September Goth and
3Oth. In front Of the grand stand. and
the committee Is enthusiastic over the
prospects, many owners Of fine stock
In the state as well as in Kansas City
and other eastern points. having made
their entries for the event.
The Intervening days will be devoted
to continuous celebration. the like OF
which has never been eQualed. The
pageant Of the crowning Of the Queen
Of the Festival. surrounded by her
Maids Of Honor. on Monday evening.
will Ike one Of the most gorgeous ever
witnessed. while the Queens parade
the next day will he marvel OF
beauty. The military parade will also
liz one Of the features md II Is expect
cd that the Colorado veterans fran
Manila will be the central point of at
traction.
Other great features will be the band
contests on Wednesday. the great mas
Qucrade carnival and mask ball on
Thursday. the grand parade Of the
Slaves of the Silver Serpent. and. TO
wind up the festivities Of the week. the
grand state hall on Saturday night In
front Of the grand stand.
The Mask Carnival Of Queen Thalia
md her court on Thursday. will be the
greatest pageant OF Its kind ever wit.
messed In this country. not even ex-
cepting that Of Mardi Grns at New
Orleans. Every feature will be Of u
novel character. and the costuming
will surpass anything ever seen In
Denver. The list Of prizes to he given
comprises many handsome and costly
articles. Organizations outside Of Den.
yer intending to participate. should nj
once notify the secretary at Denver.

Society Of Five Don is.

A society has been organized in
of the Five Don'ts' Henry n. Niles
Of 7G0 Quincy street is the founder.
The five don'ts to which the members
pledge themselves to adhere are as
follows:
1. Don'tride simply for pleasure on
Sunday.
9. Don't (save on an ocean voyage)
ride in a public conveyance on Sunday.
8. Don't read a newspaper on Sun
day.
i. Don't buy anything on Sunday,
except in case OF an emergency.
5. Don't mail letters on Sunday.
Mr.. Nilcssays that his society already
has a membership of twenty, and he is
confident that it will have q large
growth. He argues that the cars will
stop running it enough people refrain
from riding to make their operation on
Sunday unp1ofitable; that the Sunday
newspaper will cease to be published
when the sociery grows large enough
to take away all the readers; that
places where goods are sold on Sunday
will close after people cease to buy,
and that the United States Postal
service will cease every Sunday when
everybody becomes a Fivc-don'ter and
no letters are mailed on that day.
Mr.. Niles does not believe that riding
on cars and mailing letters on Sunday
are in themselves scandalous offences.
The trouble, he says, is that these
practices compel men to labor OH the
Lords Day.

AS to Congressman Roberts.

Whether this polygamous represen-
tative of the State Of Utah shall be
allowed to retain his seat in the Fed
eral House Of Representatives has be-
come a burning question. Religious
newspapers all over the land have
discussed it with great vigor;
and various ecclesiastical confcrcn-
ces, associations and synods have
done likewise. Just now the good
women arc taking their turn at it..
Miss Helen Gould, who bids fair to
become famous philanthropist, has
given Sc, 900 to be used in getting up
monster petition to Congress on the
subject. 1t is net quite certain what
the outcome will be, though wc can
very we'll understand what it ought to
be. Utah came into the Union under
the solemn pledge tlat polygamy
should not be tolerated. This pledge
has been violated in the most shame
less way imaginable. Within recent
months several of the chief dignitar;es
Of the Norman Church have each
pleaded guilty Of cohabiting with more
than one wife, and have been subject
ed to the penalties provided for such
conduct. The most of these worthless
affirm that their polygamous alliances
were contracted long ago. But Mr..
Roberts has not even this poor excuse.
He has defed the statutes and the
public sentiment Of the country by en-
tering into new marriages since the
territory became STATE; and he de-
serves to be expelled from Congress,
not only because of the essential i'm
morality Of his actions, but also be-
cause Of the fact that he is willful
and deliberate lawbreaker. With an
audacity that almost passes belief, be
faunts his numerous wives in thefacc
of the American people and boldly
challenges them to help themselves.
There is one infelicitous circumstance
that stands in the way of the proper
determination Of the case, good
many other congressman are not men
of pure lives, and they will possibly
feel some reluctance about voting to
punish Mr.. Roberts for conduct which
differs from their own only in the fact
that it is open and avowcd while theirs
is more or less secret. We do not
mean to bring sweeping charges against
our public men. 1t is our belief that
many Of them are clean and upright, but
there are enough transgressors among
them to exert no little influence We
could wish that every one of this sort
might be expelled in disgrace along
with the gentleman from Utah.
