TO Colorado. settling IN Otero

the first eighteen months OF his
residence IN Oy-ro county he work
on a farm in the Fairmount couu

unta- In October, 1895. he was
admitted to the bar. and was
actively engaged IN the practice OF
his profession until he was elected
county judge of Otero county in
November, 1898.
Mr.. Miller was married in April.
1895, TO Katie. NJ Allen, daughter
OF {. II Allen, who was the last
representative Of old Bent county
in the Colorado legislature.
Judge Miller labored under dit
ticulties IN securing his education
and IN qualifying himself for the
practice OF his profession, being
Obliged to support himself while
going to school, and all tha, he
has attained during the thirty. two
years OF his life has been achieved
through his own unaldrd efforts
He was born and reared as d re-
publican in the uncongeniai polIl
ical atmosphere OF Missouri, where
II tries mems souls to declare their
allegiance to republican prin
ciples. Not until 1895 did he
swvrve from his allegiance. but at
that time, like a great many other
good republicans, he was iured
from the straight and narrow path
by the ignis fratuus known as the
silves issue, and for brief season
worshiped at the shrine OF false
god.
Judge Miller is conscientious
and sincere 10 the last degree,
and those who know him best are
thoroughly convinced that his
political change OF heart resulted
from honest convictions and came
about through the purest OF mo
tives, without any regard to the
political prestige which may result
because OF his action, the asserva
tions and innuendos OF his political
opponents to the contrary notwith-
standing. He has made the best
county Judge Otero county ever
had, and the best interests OF the
people will be subserved by his
retention in his present position.

Rocky Ford Tribune
The ex-PuliWan car porter who
IS now engaged in the lucrative
occupation OF running newspaper
in Rocky Ford for revenue only,
along the lines LAID down by the
immortal Jefferson, opened his
mouth last week with the evident
intention OF pushing along a
good thing IN the candidacy OF
IL. w Potter, the democratic
nominee for sheriff The push
ing along" process is probably for
revenue only, and in his eagerness
TO make a showing he placed both
OF his pedal exircmities IN an
aperture, located on the desert
waste OF his classic features, be.
tween his pioboscis and his elon-
gated chin The ''ior revenue

fact tha, the economical admin.
lStration" argument utilized by the
r.Pub!icaus OF OteIo county is a
very effective one, appeals to the
taxpayers, irrespective OF party
affiliations, and Was votes
The assertion that Sheriff Barr
draws $1,000 every sixty days as
sheriff, IS SIMPLY brilliant ex-
ampi" OF democratic gucsswork
and the error and bungilng that
usually result when democrats at
tempt to monkey with figures.
Perhaps when the taxpayers be-
come acquainted with few figures
from the records OF the county
they will prefer adding to the
bank account OF Sheriff Barr in
preference TO taking chances with
Mr- Potter, who seems to have
been even more diligent in the
business 1f adding to his bank ac-
count, during his two terms as
sheriff. than Sheriff Barr has ever
been, Notwithstanding the fact that
the population OF the county more
than doubled during Bars admin
istration and more prisoners were
handled than during Potters admin
istratIon. The records demon
strate the fact that the sheriff s
office has been conducted at less
expense to the county during
Bars administration than d iring
Potter's administration. and not
withstsnding the fact that the
county has doubled in population
and more prisoners have been
handled, an actual cash saving OF
thousands OF dollars has been

The Reading Record says that an
old man driving team to a COW
cred wagon stopped at Cowden's
barn last Friday to feed his team.
He was rusty looking old codger
and from the looks on hin physiog
nomy one could tell he was soured
on something. A few questions
drew him out and the sour spot was
found. He said that years ago
when Kansas was broke up on &C.
count of grasshoppers he was a
well.to-do farmer in an Eastern
state and contributed grain and
fruit to aid them, and now he was
in dire circumstances and travelling
through this same country, and the
same farmers that he sent grain to,
would not even let him water his
team or let him eat at their table.
The old man POSSIBLY 70 years old
and alone) seemed to be deeply
touched to think that the Kansas
farmers were not as generous 40 he.
Possibly the very same farmer that
refused this old man water and a
meal, owes his success to this man.
This is something to think about.
