The proper discharge Of public duties
lies not in the form OF the law, but In
the character of the officials upon
whom those duties are imposed. Tho
Fusionists have been In control Of the
State Board OF Equalization for years.
and IL they have not properly dis
charged their duties what assurance is
there that the desired assessments
would be made in any better way by
the Fusion county assessors or other
be entrusted? Are We to suppose that
the fact that few OF the assessors
are Republicans inspires Governor Or
man with the hope that in the aggrc-
throughout the state would be better
performed than 1t would be by the
State Board OF Equalization composed
OF Governor orman himself and other
EuslonIst state officials?
The trouble goes back to the fact,
demonstrated through years OF bad
government and lmismanagcment OF
public affairs, that the Fusionists are
Incompetent and without any quallii-
cations for governing state or COM
munity OF any other size. This has
been demonstrated and illustrated ever
since they came Into power ana they
seem TO be growing worse and more
and more inefficient and incapable
win each succeeding administration.
The laundering attempts nj legislation
last winter and spring were the worst
In the history OF the state. To call
such n Legislature into special session
to enact n law FOR which there Is no
use whatever would put the cap shcaf
upon Fusion bad management; and
was,cfni expenditure OF public money.

Russian Thistle Dying out.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 12.-Denver
News Speclal.)-Thls season the Rus-
sian thistle which. for four or nve
years. has been such pest around fu-
eblo, has almost disappeared. The
plains hereabouts instead OF being
covered with the unsightly globe
shaped weeds this summer have the
growth OF wild flowers and buffalo
grass In greater luxuriance than has
been seen for seven years. Some
ranchmcn declare that the buffalo
grass which has been carrying on a
life and death struggle with the this
ties has mt last won and chokcd the
imported weeds out. Others say that
n curious. vine-like parasite. known ns
love tanglc. which has been growing
through the thistles the past two years
is the cause OF their almost total dis
appearance. This parasite. which
somewhat resembles eel grass which
grows In water and which Is OF vel.
