War Cost $40 Per Family.

The census OF 1900 is expected to
show population for the United
States OF from 75OOO,OOO to 10000. 600
The yearly current cost of holding the
Philippines therefore amounts to near
ly or quite 81 per Individual. II nc.
cortlingly amounts TO $40 per year for
each average family. To the large
majority OF families In the United
States this sum IL nearly or quite equnl
to what the heads thereof are able to
earn In week.
The taxes which go TO meet this
most costly enterprise nre collected
from the people In Indirect and unob.
servnblc ways. But they nre taken,
nevertheless. from the pockets Of the
people. and not according To ability to
pny. but according to the consumption
Of the neccssarics Of life. They are
paid mono the less certainly. even
though Indirectly. and they reduce by
NO much the earnings OF the laborer

How Wolcott Promotes Crime

During. ibis recent semi-drunken tour
Of portions of the state Wolcott antag.
onized and disgusted nearly everybody
who saw him. including the candidate
of his own party for the vice presi-
dcncy. Mr.. Roosevelt besought him
on the platform and In full view Of the
public-not to make n fool of himself.
But his frenzied mind revealed itself
in outbursts of rage which provoked
disturbances. and those disturbances
supplied him with the opportunity to
blacken the name of Colorado, SO far as
he was able. from one end OF the coun-
try to the other.
What this desperate and dangerous
state he now is doing in another way
to injure the good repute of this city.
He has imported and organized band
OF criminals who commit crime, or pre-
tend to commit crime, In order that the
columns Of his newspapers may be
filled with reports of their misdeeds.
and so that he may call upon honest
people to help him-him, the arch-in-
stigator or II ALTO uproot the evil.
An adventurer. without conscience:
boodler, with n huge corruption fund:
traitor. without the saving grace Of
shame. Edward o. Wolcott has the
cynical and blackguardly audacity to
turn loose clique OF hired rufiiians
upon this city, while asking honest
men and women to help him restrain

To the Women OF Colorado, Utah,

A campaign Of vital issues is In prog

1896 we fought for policies and meas

Republic-to-day we fight for the very
life OF the Republic.
The Republican party stands pledged
to a tariff policy which is the mother
of trusts; trusts which have struck
blow at all opportunity. lcssened pro-
duction. controlled prices. and are rob-
bing the wage-earning classes.
The Republican party stands pledged
to the gold standard. vicious financial
policy which gives the control Of the
ations; a financial policy which de-
stroys manhood and industrially en-
slaves the world.
The Republican party stands pledged

and, wheeling with lightning-like
rapidity, attacked the youth. The on
slaught was so sudden that young
Taylor had no opportunity to secure
club or other weapon with which to
defend himself, and he HAD only his
hands with which to fight of the
fierce rush of the bird.
With claws, beak and wings the bird
rained a shower of blows on the bow.
His clothes were torn by the long
talons, his head was cut in many
places by the horny beak, and his face
and body were bruised by the wings.
which the heron used with telling eff
feet. Striking and grasping wildly at
the bird, young Taylor at last sue
ceeded in catching it by it's slender
neck. When it felt the pressure the
bird fought more fiercely, but the
plucky boy squeezed with the strength
of desperation, and gradually the
blows of wings and claws Became
weaker till the heron fell limp on the
ground. Young Taylor did not re-
lease his hold until he was sure the
bird was dead.

their evening gambols and decided to
employ himself in the pastime of
peeping. From the limb of a tree
about six feet above the ground he
was afforded an excellent opportu-
nifty TO see the full scope of the pool
in which the girls bathed, and in
this he mounted himself half an hour
before the bathers came.
But they had hardly gotten into
.he water when a belated member of
the girls party, while passing the
tree, caught sight of the face of the
eager Raker as it peered from among
the branches. She didn't shrek nor
faint, but walked on as if nothing un-
usual had occurred. At the pool she
quietly explained her discovery to
the other four girls. Without DON
ming unnecessary skirts the girls
made rush for the tree and took
forcible possession of the insolent
Raker. He struggled to free himself
from the bare-armed, athletic girls.
but their combined strength was too
much for him. Then he pleaded. but
of no avail. The girls marched him
TO the part of the pool where the
water is deepest, and there uucere-
moniously cast him into the stream.
There was nine feet OF water at that
point, and Ralxer could scarcely swim
stroke with his clothes on. The
girls stood on the bank and threw
stones and sticks and mud at him
whenever he tried to reach shore.
His eyes were filled with sand and tn,
