The Republican party had de-
monstrated that self-government is
not only possible, but honorable
and full of glory. The leaders of
today take council of the wisdom
of the past. They are the distrib-
utors, not the hoaders of liberty.
They gave freedom to Cuba and
Porto Rico and will give that free
dom to the Philippines which will
best protect individual rights and
guarantee the respect of other
powers. This is the Imperialism
of true freedom, the royalty of
justice, and will soon be recognized
as the crowning glory of national
achievement.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-08-14

The politicians are apparently
more interested in the contest for
the control of the next house than
the presidential campaign, proba-
bly, because it is more doubtful. 1t
is candidly admitted by both sides
that the congressional fight prom
ises to be not only one of the
warmest ever waged, but one of
the most doubtful, and if getting
scared makes party fight harder,
it is difficult to say which party
will be most successful, as it is
very evident to the nonpartisan
observer that both are about as
scared as they can very well be
over the result of the congressional
election. The margin of control
is likely to be narrow.

of the Republican; County Central
committee, has issued the call for
the Republican County conven-
ton, which appears in this issue.
The convention will be held in
Gunnison, Aug. 30, and rs Senator
Wolcott will be present to deliver
an address, it is hoped that every
precinct in the county will be well
represented at this meet.

What is Mr.. Bryan's plan for
the disposition of the Philippines T?
The only inference from his
speeches is that he would let
loose fair promises and honeyed
words, and on the strength of
these would withdraw the Ameri-
can troops from the Philippines.
What would prevent, after with
drawal of the American troops, the
same horrors in Manila that have
visited Pekin? What would be-
come of the natives who had
helped to suppress the Tagal in
surrection after they were thus
left TO the devices of the Aguin-
aldo, whose cruelty did not stop at
the murder of his own generals?

Those Democratic papers that
are trying to guy Teddy Roosevelt
on his military record are painfully
silent about the record of William
j. Bryan. Both Mckinley and
Roosevelt have marched through
the enemy's country, charged the
enemy's lines and faced the
enemy's bullets. Bryan resigned
his commission, never having
made a march or fred shot, and
his resignation was handed in just
before his regiment was ordered
to the front
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-08-14

The Democratic press is telling
the people that the Mckinley
prosperity is only skin deep. Per
haps they are right, but there is
no question about the Cleveland
adversity having reached to the
joints and marrow Of the body pol
tic Skin deep Republican pros
perity il a thousand-fold better
than bone deep Democratic hard
times.

A quarter of million men will
be permanently employed at high
wages in the United States in a
few years in our shipyards alone
if the Republicans are permitted
to pass the shipping bill at the
next session of congress. The
free trade newspapers and the
foreign shipping interests declare
that the success of the Democrats
at the coming election will defeat
the passage Of the American ship
ping bill.

The Democrats favor a stable

The Democrats favor a stable
government for the Philippines.
The Sultan of Turkey has stable
government, the Gar of Russia
has a stable government, China
has had stable government for
twenty centuries; which kind does
it favor? Not single Spanish
colony that ever threw off the
Spanish yoke ever possessed a
stable government within fifty
years after declaring independence.
The Philippines today would have
a peaceable and just government
were it not for the encouragement
afforded to the insurgents by the
hostility here in the states to the
efforts of the army to conquer re-
bellion.

Colorado never was in as pros
porous condition as it is. at
present. Between 10000 and 20,-
600 tourists are pouring into Denver
daily. There is great demand
for laborers and all sorts of me-
chanics. All the smelters in the
state are running full time. More
gold is being produced than ever
before, and the people are forget
ting all about free silver and are
falling back in line with the Re
publican party" says G. E. Level
lyn, special agent of the rural free
delivery, in yesterdays Denver
Times, who has been detailed in
Colorado for several weeks of
special work.
"On the streets of Denver,
Georgetown, Leadville and other
Colorado cities more Mckinley
buttons than Bryan buttons can
be seen. The fact that Stratton,
tine rio mine owner who gave
$4,000 to Bryan's campaign in
1896, has deserted the Democrats
and stepped back into the Repub-
ican ranks has had much in
fuence in politics. Although Col
orado gave Bryan a majority of
135, 600 in 1896, the Republicans
are hopeful of carrying the state
this year.
-Four years ago it was danger
GUS to say a good word for Nc
Kinley in Denver, but today Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt are prime
favorites with the people of Colo
RADIO. Pictures of the Republican
candidates can be seen in windows
in all parts of the state, and Re
publicans have no fear in standing
by their colors this year"

The protection of American life
and American honor without the

Our Saloon Friends,

I regret very much that such avowed
temperance men as L. 0. Thorpe, Jas.
A. Wharton, Andrew Larso on and AL
ton Crosby should have thought it
necessary to sign a. saloon petition.
Their motive for signing may per-
haps be sympathetic enough, but the
odium is there just the same.
Let us argue few points, You say,
'This is free country Should be,
yes; but slavery is not freedom; and
intemperance is slavery. =.
"Let every body haye a chance" !"
To do right, yes; but to serve the devil
is wrong; and a lukewarm Christian
is about as bad as a saloQnkeeper
dealing out 'srum and ruin.'' -
"But there is money in license, and
we need money, don't we?' Ah, yes:
but one soul saved from ruin is worth
more than the whole world, isn't it?
'Well, yes the Rible-but, doesn't t

we love our. neigh hborss by taking the

Certainly they are;s and they have the
