ious to get interviews with him In
regard to his study of the language
of monkeys. The city editor of the

comrade Robins felt more like giving a
long sermon than telling the usual camp
fire stories. He spoke OF spending the
days usefully and the duty Of trying to
make others happy. Character building
was the great object Of life. Tho strug-
gle against tho powers OF evil was as big
contract as we had during the war.
Major Dameron thought that the Golden
Rule was good enough guide for man
kind.
Hon. W. 3. Goblin spoke of conscience
being an always reliable guide. Man
would not be condemned for what he
thought was right. Be charitable and lift
up the fallen.
Comrade MeKaster. an ex-confeder-
ate, followed and differed with MIR. Goblin
on the infallibility Of conscience. He cited
the case Of Saul of Tarsus, who. when
his eyes were opened and his name
changed to Paul had quite a different
conscience.
A number of short talks followed but
no regular program was carried out. The
entire evening lacked the jollity which has
distinguished former campfires. more of

When Major Chritton went into the
army he promised his mother not to
gamble, not TO drink to excess, nor use
profane language promise he kept.
During a portion of much of the idle time
which was on his hands in camp Young
Chrtton kept diary of the movements
Of his regiment, recording all his observa-
tons in rhyme. He has preserved d
quantity of the manuscript he prepared
under the shadow of Lookout mountain.
Sometime ago at Post meeting he read
portion of his diary relating to the
charge on the fort at gResaoa, Georgia,
and repeated the same at the campfire by
request We make the following extracts:
We reached the fort, its walls we scaled,
Mid shot and shell and leaden hail;
The foe falls back and safety find
In other works, a second line.
Our flag we planted on the wall,

Young and strong, a leader brave,
The flag he bore he died to save.
Some hundreds here their young lives gave
That Ger one land one flag might wave,
Old Glory shall that one flag be
The emblem of true liberty.

ed shell wound from which he did not
recover for 5 years.

Rev. ]. T. Knuckey's sermon was an
able one and most appropriate to the
occasion. He spoke Of the devastation OF

replied: We found we were fighting
Americans. no, Englishmen." Since the
war such citizenship has been bull; up

Temple Of Liberty. Two events were
spoken Of as all important in the unifiea-
ton Of tho na,ion-the Spanish-Amencan

to tho late president. Such a union Of
the soldiers who were the blue and tho

There has boon considerable railing at

paign fund this year because Of fear
that the republicans will enact legislation
against the interests Of the trusts il both

Sunday Services.

Rev. r. A. N. Wilson's sermon at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
greatly pleased the veterans and every
body else. Mr.. Wilson began by yoicing a
universal sentiment, that, north and south.
there was feeling of gladness that the
slave was free man. He called the at
tention of his congregation to the fact
that he was himself southern man and
the son of a Confederate soldier, and thus
in a position to know what the south
thought as well as the north. But the
slavery Of the south, in which men were
held as chattles is not the only nor the
worst slavery. There are many things
besides to which men are in bondage, far
more reaching in their consequences and
which afflict the soul as well as the body.
One thing which most concerns men today
is securing a fair chance in this world OF
Gods to win fCt ones self the comforts
of life and to enjoy an equitable share in
the fruits of human toll. Socialism, one
Of the strongest movements of the day.
finds much opposition because of the COM
mon conception that it is almost unver-
sally associated with atheism. But social,
ism is not necessarily infdelity. Some
Of the best and brightest men of the
country are found in the ranks of the
socialist movement. But whatever is the
immediate outcome of the discussion, the
end will see the triumph of right. The
working man will win the victory and
secure his chance. Another threaten
ing danger is the legalized American
saloon. It is the greatest factor in our
politics today, as well as the greatest
force in the destruction of manhood and
the ruin of our homes. In order to keep
at work the trade must create habit and
cultivate new recruits at the bar. So

Colorado Springs is not at all pleased
with the disposition Mr. Stratton made
with his ten or twelve millions. A million

The Bucklin amendment means the
single land tax, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Not one of its advocates can
truthfully deny this, and the single tax
means the ultimate oonfsoation of private
land. If the rental value Of land is not
sufficient to pay the taxes levied against
it, the owners will allow it to be forfeited
to the state. 1t is the same as confisca-
ton. and the hope of the Bucklinites is
that this will be the result. The idea
that the people of state like Colorado
should adopt constitutional amendment
the ultimate aim of which is to destroy
private ownership of land is reproach
to their intelligence. and yet that is what
the advocates of the Bucklin amendment
are urging, and if an effort is not put
forth to defeat the proposition that is
what we may come to sooner or later.
