Allen Sangree writes as follows In
Ainslee's Magazine: I'm the genus
millionaire Cecil Rhodes is unique. On
the face Of the earth to-day there il
probably, no other rich man who would
use his private fortune to build a rail
road in q savage country or defray the
expenses of a war, not knowing wheth.
er there shall be o reimbursement. II
Is sacrifice of this unusual sort, in IN
age when money is. king, that com.
mands the admiration OF statesman
and mechanic alike; while capitalists
from very wonderment are constrained
to give aid.
This explains why, through the
length and breadth of South Africa,
you cannot find man that enyies
Rhodes his fortune, since he neither
spends money on himself nor does he
hoard it for posterity. If l had a son
he would get no legacy from me- says
| this world-unique Millionaire. I like
10 see young man begin poor. 1t
will bring out the best that is in him.
ITO a Rockefeller, Gould or Wander.
bilt such dlsinterested use Of millions
must seem like insanity. Here is q
man that husbands his fortune with one
hand and layishes it. with the other,
much as Napoleon kept the recruiting
sergeant busy at one end of the scale,
while he never hesitated to fling few
thousand men to certain death at the
other. He lives palmer life than his
associates. He owns no steam yachts
or private cars, and consistently de-
clines all title and peerage honors. He
shqns society and prefers knocking
about on the veldt in a Khaki suit to
attending a court reception. He has
spent million dollars to provide Cape
Town a geological garden and beauti-
full park, yet he lives himself for the
most part in a thatched hut in Mata-
beleland. Three times have incendi-
aries burned down his villa at Groot
Schur. On each occasion has he re-
built it at greater expense, though he is
seldom there to enjoy its luxuries. 1T
is good way to distribute money to
the workingman,' he says"

The men who aspire to be representa-

expected to show something more than

We trust that our farmers will not
allow the rush of cantaloupe business to
cause them to neglect the preparation of
large exhibits for the Fair. The season
has been most favorable one and there
is,the raw material throughout the conn-
ty for the best exhibition ever held. As
our farmers, gardeners and stockmen
have in the past fully appreciated the i'm
portance of good exhibits at the Fair, we
are confident that they will do the same
this year. In the past Rocky Ford's nn-
nual fairs have been most important
means of impressing upon thousands a
knowledge of the great and varied re-
sources of the valley, and have been n
valuable factor in the rapid growth of
the valley. Their usefulness in this di-
rection should not only be maintained
but each succeeding exhibition made an
improvement on its predecessor.

1t would greatly add to the respect
which the public entertains for portions
of the judiciary, says the Denver News.
If In contests between great corporations
and the public wherein large sums of
money or great interests are involved the
public would occasionally gain decision.
In an almost unbroken procession the
public. and great sections of the public,
have lost heir cases against great and
wealthy corporations. This manifest in
justice can only be rcmcdied when the
public gives greater attention to the sell
ection of the judiciary and decides that
only competent, fearless and independent
Judges will be elected. This is very
pointed language but the circumstances
justify plain talk. The Colorado Springs
Gazette in discussing the recent decision
in favor of the corporations uses little
more diplomatic language than the News
but the purport is the same
