coLoRADo's OPPORTUNITY.

This state has never yet recovered
from the havoc that was wrought by
Governor Waite and his crew. Most
of the time since 1892 it has been un-
der the Fusion domination. Kansas
used to have the worst name for crank
mess, but Kansas has redeemed her
self; and Colorado has inherited the
bad name, along with the more sub
stantial evils, of rule by combination
of office-seeking politicians who have
made stalking-horse of silver in or
der to get possession of the spoils.
The present mongrel state admins
tration has been in some ways about
as bad as Waites. The revenues of
the state have fallen off until the chari-
table and educational institutions are
abliged to beg and borrow money to
keep open their doors; and If it had not
been for the fees paid into the office Of
tions the state would have been con-
fessedly and horelessly bankrupt.
The governor of the state has used
his power and spent much of his time
in building up Democratic machine
by whose aid he hopes to be elected
United States senator. The Democratic
machine in Denver, and in some other
parts of the state, has now come to the
point where it thinks it can manage
affairs without further consideration
or recognition of Populists and Silver
Republicans. Everything points to
the alignment of the great majority of
the people of this state in the two old
parties. Everybody is tired of fusion
and irresponsibility in politics. Colo
RADIO from henceforth is to be either
Republican or Democratic.
This state of affairs gives to the
voters of Colorado their opportunity.
Everybody recognizes that the silver
issue is dead for the present-that 1t
is not possible to do anything for sill
yer by electing Democrats to Office.
Most people recognize the fact that 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
this state to elect Republican gov
ernor and Legislature this fall. On

The state of Besjukovschtschina, in
Russia, is probably the only place in
the world that is run entirely by wom-
en-, says Tit Bits. This state is made
up of seven villages, each presided over
by mayoress, the whole under the
superintendence of a lady named
Saschka, who acts as president. There
are women magistrates, women preach
ers. women policemen-in fact, every
capacity in the state is filled by wom-
en-. The roads are made by women,
land women sell milk and deliver let
ters. II you want to bring an action
against your neighbor in this state, you
go to a woman lawyer; and IL there is
anything in your house to be stolen,
then burglar of the weaker sex steals

The senate committee on commerce
has reported a bill for the establish
ment of department of commerce and
indust,i les. While the multiplication of
Offices ordinarily is not an unmixed
blessing, there is sometimes necessi-
ty for it, and at other times conditions
are such as to indicate the wisdom of
making an experiment in that direc-
tion, though it must be admitted that
there is little hope of abolishing an
Office, however useless it may prove,
once 1t is created. The closer the gov
ernment can be brought in contact
with industrial activity, and the more
nearly 1t can be made a business enter
prise, as distinguished from political
machine, the better it will be as gov
erLment.

Why tho Brain Does Not GROW Olu.
In his work on the senile heart, DR..
Balfour tells us that there are two
parts to the human organism which. II
wisely used, largely escape senile
failure" These two are the brain and
the heart. Persons who think have
often wondered why brain-workers.
great statesmen and others should
continue to work with almost unim-
paired mental activity and energy up
to a period when most Of the organs
and functions of the body are In a
condition of advanced senile decay.
There is physiological reason for
this, and DR.. Balfour tells us what 1t
is. The normal brain, he af1rms. re-
mains vigorous to the last" and that
because its nutrition is especially pro-
vided for" About middle life or a
little later the general arteries Of the

The thing most desired Of Spring
Medicine is thorough publication Of
the blood. With this work OF
cleansing going on there is COM
plete renovation Of every part of

rupt blood made fresh, bright and

The most amusing feature of the
present violent crusade being conduct
ed by the press of New York against
immortality in plays, to those familiar
with such extravagant campaigns, is
the probability that the newspapers
are acting from anything but earnest
motives in so clamorously demanding
the suppression of "Sapho," "Zaza" and
other plays of like nature. 1t is
mock campaign, seemingly conducted
solely for the notoriety and advertis-
ing which the individual papers can
squeeze out of the affair.

January,

These figures are very interesting.
Note the high prices paid for Ohio wool
during the Republican administration
of President Harrison from 1890 to
1893.
Then note the decline of ten to twelve
per cent per pound between 1888 and
1897 January prices during the free
trade administration of Grover Cleve-
land.
Note once more the sharp advance in
wool values in 1898 to 1900. 1t is
needless to say this was under a pro
tective tariff and a Republican admin
stration-during Mckinley prosperity.

AnOther convert
Man must learn to take things as
they are. He cannot have them just
as he would prefer them. This is one
of the first great lessons of life. There
are in this country many people who
stand for expansion, because, rs they
see it, there is nothing better to stand
for. Some of them opposed war with
Spain when trouble YVES brewing, and
did not hesitate to say that adventur-
Gus Americans were being sent to Cuba
with deliberate purpose to encourage
war and bring about the annexation of
the island to the United States. They
spoke out in meeting and warned the
American people that they were being
misled by party ranters and desperate
demagogues, who have never in the
history of the world hesitated to resort
even to war itself when they dared
and deemed it promising means of
winning the offices. The warnings did
no good. The noisy spectators In real
estate and in public offices stood like
wild witches about the bubbling pot,
stirred the trouble, tore their hair,
screamed for war. War came and GER
tain results came of 1t. The results
were hardly known before the indomit-
able party whooper set about to con-
vert them to base campaign uses. He
would use the difficulties which came
of the struggle for party purposes. On
the other hand, the courageous and pa
triotic citizen who opposed the war
stood ready to take up the rsponsibili-
ties which came of it and to make the
best of them. 1t will be remembered
that Bishop Potter was widely quoted
by the anti-expansionlsts before he
went to the Philippines. He stood op-
posed to expansion. Now IL the anti
expansionists who favorably quoted
him as excellent authority are disposed
to deal in truth rather than in preju-
dice, they will give as much promi-
nence to his changed views as they did
to his earlier ones. for he has been in
the Philippines and knows whereof he
speaks. Some of his impressions can
be CLEANED from the following state

grain, dotted with cattle. It includes
the rich regions along the well-water-
ed Niger.
However. the oft-quoted report that
France wishes TO make the Sahara fer
tile by admitting sea water TO great
central lake is denied. and this denial
is supported by the assertion that the
desert lies from 1000 to 1900 feet
above the sea. What is intended Is tc
increase the size of the oases by care
full canal building and conservation OF
the water. No land is more fertile

The desert is capable of supporting
ten times its present population. 1t

that fits 1t for sanitarium. 1t needs

Another people with whom France
will have to deal is tine Azendan. or
Nyam-Nyam tribe. who dwell little
further south than the Songhais. They
are an aristocratic people. nearly
white, and are related to the light
tribes OF East Africa. Their complexion
is ruddy, rather than bronzed, In spite
of the fact that they live within Ave
degrees of the equator. They have
been supreme in that part of Africa
for 100 years or more. driving the black
tribes before them wherever they
went. The greatest height recorded
among them by travellers is feet 10H
inches. They ara finely developed
physically. and are regarded as dan
gerous foes.

ONCE, Mr.. Lester F. Ward recently ex-

The richest deposit OF silicified trees
covers an area of about eight miles
square. in Apache county. In some
parts of this area the petrified logs lie
much more thickly than they could
have stood while living. and Mr. Ward
thinks they must have been transport
