Still Stealing Elections.

The plot to steal the organization
of the next House of Representatives
of the state of Colorado away from
the republicans seems to be active
still. A few days after election, and
before the returns were doctored,
it was generally accepted that thirty
six republicans and twenty nine
democrats had been chosen as mem
bers of the House. Ever since then
all sorts of devices have been em
ployed to cut down this apparent
republican majority. Canvassing
boards of democratic officials have
thrown out little precincts against
which the only objection was that
they cast a republican majority.
Other votes have been thrown out on
technicalities; until now the demo
Gratis, if they consummate their plot,
are in sight of majority of one

of the candidates who has thus been
thrown down by the returning board
in Denver, after the county clerk
had certified the returns which show
ed he was elected, has got the mat
ter into court by procuring an order
from Judge Palmer commanding the
state board to certify the returns as
they were received This is on the
ground, we suppose, that the duties
OF the state canvassing board are
purely ministerial. and they have no
right to go back of the returns. II
a state canvsssiug board is to be al
lowed to do what this one has been
trying to do, there will not be any
use in holding elections at all here

Now LaureIs for Pepso-ouInIne.

This preparation is doing more to
bring the name of Lamar to the notice
Of the outside world than any other one
thing. The fact that such really good
medicine can be made and marketed
from such small town makes people
think that all the talent is not con-
tained within the portals Of large east
ern cities. A druggist in Denver speak
ing to travelling man about Pepso-
Quinine made the following remark
"Good medicine? Well should say SO,
1 take it and my family takes it and we
are nightly pleased with it, and only
think, 1t is made in that little town OF
Lamar too" Such remarks as this,
coupled with he fact that Pepso-Qui-
nine is performing wonderful cures all
over the state, makes people talk, and
when people talk they think and the
name OF Lamar is mentioned and
thought about.

Superiority Of The West.

In hi. message to congress Presi
dent Roosevelt used the following
words with reference to the United
States, and just as they apply to this
country as whole in comparison with
the old world, 80 they apply to the
West in comparison with the East.
"This nation is seated on CONT
nent fanked by two great oceans,
1t is composed of men the dscend
ants OF pioneers, or, in sense, Pio
neers themselves; of men winnowed
out from among the nations of the
old world by the energy, boldness
and love Of adventure found in their
own eager hearts. Such nation, so
placed, will surely wrest success
from fortune"
The spirit of adventure, the will
ingness to take chances to improve
ones condition, which has brought
millions of people from Europe to
the United States has in like manner
contributed to the settlement of the
Far West. To people in the East
who have never looked upon the
Rocky Mountains, this part of the
union seems to be far off. In the
perspective OF great distance they
are unable to distinguish the factors
that make for the development of
the West and the prosperity of its
people. Men and women who leave
their Eastern homes disappear in OBJ
scnrity and the friends they leave
behind wonder at the risks they take
and obtain but faint idea OF what
they accomplish.
It is for this reason that the East
has 80 poor an understanding of the
Far West. But the men who are
bold enough to take the chances find
when they reach their destination
that opportunities are broader and
that the risks to be incurred are
creatures of the imagination. They
bring with them all the love of coun-
try, all the appreciation of social,
educational and industrial progress
and improvement acquired by their
Eastern training, and the boldness
that made them venture manifests
itself in all they undertake. Hence
in proportion to population the West
is ahead of the East in nearly every.
thing that depends upon energy and
enterprise and hope in the future
