Beers. humane people, regardless o

war which is, in reality, fulfilling the
prophecy of the president of the little
Dutch repub1ic-that it could only be

humanity
The resistance to British arms daily
manifested in South Africa is assur-
edly unparalleled in the history of the
world That sheer force of numbers

perhaps true. but that they will ever
be conquered is a fatuous hope. What

Is it all worth the bloodshed and the

being to prevent as far as possible the
registration or the casting of any votes
by the residents of Placita, Redstone
or Coal Basin. These men carried out
the instructions of their superiors and
have thus endeavored to encompass
the disfranchisement of legally quail
fed electors throughout the district
comprising Placita, Redstone and Coal
Basin. Their action was taken upon
the theory that they could thus elimin-
ate a possible Republican majority
from these sections of Pitkin county.lJ
American citizens or those who have
declared their intention to become such
are, without reference to their place of
residence, entitled to the full exercise
Of the elective franchise, and it is
hoped that no device of the Democratic
Board of County Commissioners of
Pitkin county will be, able to prevent
the expression of the will of some 400
or 800 of the citizens of the county at
the polls on the 9th of November.
No patriotic citizen would seek in
anyway to influence these voters for
any political party, but the right to a
full and fair expression of the opinion
OF these voters ought not and cannot
be denied.
Every qualified voter in the district
mentioned should make it point to
be registered and to vote against
party which, through its officers, has
sought to disfranchise whole COM
munity and arrogate to the narrow
section of the county the right to name
its officers, disregarding the enterprise,
development and monetary investments
which are being made in our county.
The Democratic party has sought to
prejudice the people OF this state on
account of the fact that a considerable
number of foreign-born voters reside
in this district. More than 125 native
born citizens, in addition to large
number of naturalized citizens of the
United States, have been disfranchised
or their disfranchisement has been at
tempted by the action of the Demo-
cratic Board of County Commissioners
of Pitkin county.
The citizens, both native and natur-
allied, are engaged in building up one
OF the greatest industries in the county
in which vast sums of money have been
and will be expended, and will add
very largely to the taxable property of
the county and materially assist in the
payment of the county's taxes and in
debtedness. Such investors and their
employees, being taxpayers, are en-
titled to representation, and the people
of this county will see to it that their
votes are cast and counted lawfully on
the 9th day of November next.

BY listening to the advise of CALI

While at Redstone this week we had
the pleasure of taking the first ride on
the High Line to Coal Basin and it
was grand trip. The road is narrow
guage and built in the most substant-
1al manner and traversing one of the
most picturesque canons in the state,
affording the tourist much pleasure in
viewing the grand scenery as the road
winds up the canon. In the twelve
miles of road there are over twenty
bridges. and the way the locomotive
crawls slowly from ridge to ridge is
phenomenal. 1t is a grand piece of
engineering, and the Marshall Pass
read is not in it compared with this
High Line.
