This is Not Clipped.

A newspaper that is eternally
throwing mud at some body takes a
great chance of having plenty of
,ncmies, SANDER and invective,
either oral or written, are not CON-
mendable.
But newspaper that does nothing
but fill its pages with fawning flattery
of its patrons, and uses its columns
only to reflect the will or whim of
every Tom, Dick Or Harry that hap
pens to live under the shadow Of its
print shop has not, and does not, de-
serve the good will or support of any
decent public. Unnecessary and un-
lust criticism often engenders hard
feelings, but soft soap and gush IN
every local OF personal item shows Il
lack of individuality and personal in
dependence, without which an editor
is mass of clay. Don't look for so
much blarney,

England Ap-
proves The War

The conservatives have won the
day in the British elections, and the
country is now on record as having
approved the most hideous war of
modern times. Here was a war sole
ly actuated by greed without even
the questionable merit of being nation-
al greed. 1t was instigatcd b. Cecil
Rhodes and sustained by the diamond
and gold mining sharas of South AT.
rica. To win it the people of Eng
land have piled on themselves millions
of dollars in public debt and sacrificed
thousands Of lives. They sent forth
the greatest army which England
ever sent abroad to subdue a paltry
10000 men, and with odds in their
favor of four or five to one they suf-
fered many ignominous defeats, as at
Elandslaagte and Spion Kop No
modern war has been waged wife less
justification aud none in its progress
has proven more humillatiug to the
nation which finally achieved success.
The time for the election was op-
poftunely chosen to bring about Con-
servative success, but when the true
story comes to be written it is very
doubtful if such of the ministers as
were responsible for Il will stand as
high i'll public estimation as now
seems to be the case.-Denvcr Even

had passed before the campfire was
deserted. The cowboys were plung-
ing in the dark after the fleeing cattle,
through a wild, rocky, unknown dis
trlct, filled with mesquite and cactus,
cut up by dangerous arroyos and
canons. By noon of the succeeding =
day the drive was resumed. A half
dozen steers had been left behind,
lamed or dead, in the gulches, while
a few of the horses in the 'wrangier 5
bunch in the lead were skinned and
limping. But the COWBOYS, their
clothing in rags from the thorny mil
night ride, merely joked on their mu-
tual appearance and solaced their
wearihess with tobacco and with end
less song. AS rule the cowboy is
an American. In the plateau region
he may hail from anywhere, but usu-
ally either comes from California or
from Texas. But they all fraterniza,
making issue only over the liking of
the Californian for a saddle with Il
single barreled rig, which is saddle
with a single girth. The Texan de
spises anything but double cinched
saddle, though usually he does not
tighten the second girth.

Death of Vernon Loucks.

Another shadow of sorrow has
been cast over our town in the death
of j. Vernon Loucks. Vernon was
the eldest son of Mr. Hartford and Mrs
Mary Loucl1s and was born at Fort
Collins, Colo, April 2 1888, and died
Oct s 1900. He was a little more
than seventeen and half years old.
He grew up to young manhood IN
North Park. attending the public
schools here for the six or seven
years past. During the last sum-
mer he took a position in the shop
j. II. Mckee, to learn the BARRIERS
trade. He had been sufferer from
rheumatism a great portion of his life
and early in September he was taken
with that eruptive disease that has
annoyed us SO much, and after 4
short sickness recovered from it;
but was left with rheumatism and
heart trouble that held him to his
bed until released by death as stated,
His death is sad blow to the fam
lily, both parents and two little
brothers being left. 1t is especially
sad to his mother who has been
his constant companion, best friend
and nurse all these years.
Under the advice of DR.. Fischer
the funeral services were held at the
cemetery and were brief and simple,
Elder Greene conducting the services,
and few friends sang two hymns.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louclts being old
residents the family have the heart
felt sympathy of e9erybody in this
their sad bereavement. a very con-
siderable number of people attended
the funeral on Tuesday afternoon

Old Glory In a New Guise

The most remarkable and costly
novelty which the year has produced
is an American flag and staff com
posed of blazing mass of waving
electric lights. So far only three OF
them have been made. The first of
the lot went to the New York Jour
nal, the second to the Chicago Ameri-
can, and the third to the Denver Post.
The flag is seven feet in dimensions
and is placed Immediately over the
main entrance to The Post building.
Fitted into the field are flint glass
globes, red, white and blue in color
fed by special motor. This in turn
is controlled by commutator which
regulates the electric current in such
Il way as to produce the effect of u
restless waving mass of red, white
and blue in the shape of l. flag, the
whole forming Il perfect blaze of
glory.
The current was turned ou for the
first time last night. Seldom has Old
Glory attracted more attention or
stirred deeper interest. 1t was the
cynosure of all eyes. Within, the
business Office had been rejuvenated
and its frcscoed ceilings were thrown
into fine relief by 363 vari-colored
electric bulbs; without, $50 carried
waves of radiance in the electric flag,
the whole forming a dazzling spec.
tacle worth travelling miles to sec.
1t was only another proof that the
peoples favorite paper, The Post, is
in the van of its contemporaries blaz-
ing Il way, electric lighted, so to
speak, which they humbly and at a
distance strive to follow.-Den yer

The Filipino Still
alton in a Nutshell.

Andrew Carnegie is 4 hardheaded
Scotchman. He is essentially a logic
ian. BY hard work and study he
has made his way in the world. HIS
clear and practical mind riddles the
problem of A5iatic expansion in these
words:
"Let the president take eit1sr
horn of Ghe dilemma and his poitty
of what he himself has called 'cri-h-
inal aggression fails. Let him op7n
the door to the world, and he antsg
onizes American labor. Let hin
consider the Philippines part of Tie
United States and therefore entiti |
under the constitution to free tra11
with, as part of the United States,
and its door closed except through
the high tariff to all other nations,
and he antagonizes The whole of EU-
rope and has war upon his hands to
certainty-this time no weak Spain
to deal with, but the overwhelming
naval power Of Europe"
The name of Carnegie may not
look good to workingmen, but he is
BY all odds Il better American and
closer student Of affairs. than the av,
erage leader Of the Republican par
ty, from President Mckinley and
Mark Hanna, up or down. He has
more at stake. His words are preg-
nant Of truth, and no sophistry of
commercial expansion" can answer
them.-Democratic Supplement.
