JUDGE BECKER was in Denver last
week and gave expression to his views
on the political situation to reporter of
the Denver News as follows:
II stand squarely with Judge Hallett
on this imperialistic issue and will not
vote for Mckinley. Imperialism is an
open disregard for the constitution and
if the people sustain it the republic will
fall. We may have more spectacular
country than under the republic, but the
great pride in our republican institutions
will be gone and before long the United
States will be like the rest of the rob5er
countries of the world,
''The treatment of the Filipinos by the
United States is burning disgrace.
They came to our help at our request to
help overthrow our Spanish enemy be-
cause they wanted their independence,
and when they captured all the Span
iards on the islands the United States
turns around and uses the soldiers and
guns they had welcomed as deliverers to
kill then, until they submitted to Yam
kee serfdom.
81 will not only vote against Mckinley
but I'll vote for Bryan. You may set me
down as Bryan Democrat.
"Bryan will be elected

In Bohemia.

I'll rather live in Bohemia than any other land,
For only there the values true
And the laurels gathered in all mems view;
The prizes OF traffic and state won
By shrewdness OF force or by deeds undoac
But fame is sweeter without the feud,
And the wise Of Bohemia shrewd.
Here pilgrims stream, with faith sublime,
From every class and cline and time,
Aspiring only to be enrolled
With the names that writ in the book OF gold,
And each bears in mind or hand
palm OF the dear bohemia land.
scholar first with his book-a youth
Afame with the glory of harvested truth,
A girl with picture. man with play,
boy with wolf he has modelled in clay,
A smith with a marvellous hilt and sword
player, king, powman. lord
And the player is king when the door is passed.
The plownian is crowned, and the lord is last!
I'd rather fail in Bohemia than win in another
land
There no titles inherited there
No hoard or hope for the brainess heir,
No gided dullard native born
To stare at his fellow with eaden scorn
Bohemia has rome but adopted sons;
Its limits, where fancys bright stream runs;
Its honors. not garnered for thrift or trade
But for truth and beauty mems souls have made
To the empty heart in jeweled breast
There is value maybe in purchased crcs.,
But the thirsty of soul soon learn to know
The moistless froth of the social show,
The vulgar sham OF the pompous feast,
Where the heaviest purse is the highest priest;
The organized charity scrimped and iced
In the name OF a cautious, statistical Christ;
The smile restreincd. the respectable can't
When a friend in need is a friend in want
When the only aim is to keep afoat,
And brother may drown with n cry in his
throat.
Oh, long for glow of kindly heart
And the grasp Of friendly hand.
