The Levy Court Tuesday afternoon
elected Patrick Fahey, trustee of the
poor for Wilmington hundred, for the
term Of three years beginning In Feb
ruRry last, to succeed Lewis Diokey. A
deadlock had existed In the court over
this position for about a month. Presi-
dent Scott had favored Mr.. Dickey,
Commissioner Mealey had backed John

Commissioner White had voted for
different persons. Mr.. White had also
nominated Mr.. Fahey at previous
meeting.
In the course Of Tuesday afternoons
session of the court, Messrs. Scutt,
White and Mealey left the room and
held short conference. After they re.
turned Mr.. Mealey moved that the court

and Mr.. Mealey nominated Patrick
Fahey. Mr.. White seconded the nomi-
nation and all three Democrats voted
fol Mr.. Fahey and he was, therefore,
elected. The salary OF the position with
mileage aggregates about 1913 annually.

COLORADO GOLD MINERS.
The Developments OF Gold Properties
Has Been Amazing.

The Development OF Gold Properties
Has Been Amazing.
1t is the frequency of discoveries of
gold in all the leading silver producing
camps OF the state that gives continued
new impetus to the development OF the
mines and adds no inconsiderable part
to the mineral wealth of Colorado.
Under such conditions the silver
question naturally cuts very little fig
ure politically, although Mr.. Bryan,
against the counsel of the wise and
conservative element Of his party, stub
bornly insisted that the silver plank of
the Chicago platform should be reaf-
tirmed IN its entirety as a para
mount condition of his accepting the
nomination. In the mining states,
however, 'sixteen-to-one' has been
weighed in the balance of common
sense and found wanting. Whilom
silver leaders seem TO be disappearing
from Colorado, or returning to the Re-
publican fold, and even the repeal of
the Sheranm act is a blessing in dis
guise. In the beginning that measure
undoubtedly had bad effect on the
mining industry. But, while driving
the men out of employment and clos
ing mines, it also impelled prospectors
to the search for gold and copper, and
as a striking result. Colorado possesses
now one of the greatest gold producing
areas in the world. Millions of dol
lars have poured into the state for in
vestment.. New industries have sprung
up. Old plants have increased their
capacity. More men are employed and
at better wages than ever before. City
treasures are full and public improve
ments are progressing on every side.
What is true of Colorado, applies
with equal force to other mining states.
Prosperity is visible everywhere and
little attention is paid to silver as a
live political issue. Sixteen to -one"
will doubtless be left to take care of
itself in mining sections during this
campaign.
The honest miner knows a good
thing when he has it. He is not seek
ing change. And as natural causes
are promoting the great mining indus
try of the country, he is not liable to
support any movement which relies
upon extraneous or moribnnd theories
to bring about legitimate industrial
and financial results.

The question whether a wOrklngman
should marry or not was discussed in
one of our daily papers by Il regular
contributor recently, and the statement
was made that a Chicago contractor
had declared the contrary-that work.
ingmen ought not to MARI. The reason
given by the contractor tor his belief
was that wages were too low for labor
Ing men to support families on. The
writer cited an instance where a young
carpenter secured work during the
summer at 81 day. but In winter
could get little or nothing to do, so that
he earned only about $500 n year, or
less than 81 day, with rent at SIS a
month, $50 year; street car fare say
$40 for the year; groceries and clothing
for the family, however small, would
more than consume the remaining 500.
The day laborer, working, say, 300
days in the year, gets perhaps 500
more, but must live upon the poorest
of fare if he has family of five or
more to feed. Let us figure for him.
His bread or -four will cost not less
than S25 for the year; his meat bill say.
$50, which is less than 20 cents worth
day; potatoes and other vegetables
half as much more-a total of S1l5.
Add Sl20 for rent, and how does the
poor man clothe himself, not to speak
OF wife aud children? Verify. il is a
serious question whether laborlng men
can afford to marry. 1t is not much
better with office clerks in the city
statesmen in stores. etc. Few Of them
get more than enough for fair living
for themselves. and many can earn
scarcely enough to pay board and
clothing expenses and can not lay up
anything for the future. Such facts
show the folly of farmers sons and
daughters going to the city to improve
their prospects. AT home they are sure
of food shelter and clothing of some
sort. In the great towns their very llv-
Ing is precariOus. The superiority of

The Ns~ star sp.nrIed Hammer.


On the 18th day of Septem Der, 1914.
during the bombardment of Fort Me-
Henry, Francis Scott Key composed the
''Star Spangled Banner. The British
feet has attacked the fort, and the peo-
pie were anxiously waiting Tor the
dawn, to see whether the fort had sur
rendered. This situation gave to Mr..
Key his motive.
Today our flag is floating over the
Philippines. The Bryanites want to
pull it down. All the patriotic citt-
zens of the country are waiting to see
whether it floats there after the next
election. The rebels who are firing
on the flag shall be conquered, the
Bryanites shall be defeated, and on
November 2 the people of the country,
with one voice shall sing;
"Let the Star Spangled Banner in
triumph be waved.
O'er the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.
The situation has inspired the New
Star Spangled Banner" which is as
follows:
Oh, say, can you see, by the far east
ern light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many fight,
In lands near and far is so calamity
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayer, rising
high in the air
Give proof to the world that our flag
is still there;
Oh say, let that Star Spangled Banner
be waved,
Der the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.
Oh, thus be it always, whenever we
stand
Between the oppressed and kings desc
lation.
BEST with victory and peace. may the
heaven rescued land
Praise the power that hath made us
powerful nation.
And onward me must, for our cause it
is just;
And this be our motto ''In God is our
Trust"
Let the Star spangled Banner in
triumph be waved,
Ger the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.

is contract entered into between the

J. Curley Company, of Brooklyn. The
contract specifies that the New Haven
Company shall furnish the Curley
Company with a certain number of car
riages at a certain price until Novem-
Der 10, 1901. With the contract re-
ceived by the Curley Company was the
following letter from the New Haven
Company:
eve enclose herein agreements

made an Endorsement at the bottom.
Will You please indoIse this yourself?
II is just as good policy for you to in
dorse it as it is for us, for you do not
wish to be bound down by anything in
case of such adverse circumstances as
would occur in the event of Bryan

The Endorsement reads:
''This agreement to be null and void
