FINE REPUBLICAN, MEETING.
Judge Beiford And Hon. w. Is. Goblin
at Rocky Ford.

The first Republican rally of the cam
paign was held at Rockers hall Wednes-
day evening and stirring address deliv-
cred by Hon. J. B. Belford. of Denver.
Hon. A. L. Kellogg presided. and Hon. w.
B. Goblin, Republican candidate for rep
ressntatiye, opened the program with a
short speech in which he spoke of the
prosperity Of the country under Republi-
can rule. Among the blunders OF the
Democracy mentioned were in the reyen-
ue bill which made everybody pay taxes
except the corporations: the state land
management, whereby the state was
specializing on those who had made the
land valuable; the misappropriation of
S42o.ooo. The new irrigation bill cham
pioned by President Roosevelt and the
Republican party, was a sample OF the
benificent legislation Of the Republican
party. Having the water. the climate
and the soil Colorado is bound TO take a
leading place among the states Of the
Union.
In introducing Judge Belford Mr.. Kel-
logg spoke OF the prevalence Of Mckinley
prosperity all over the nation. In this
general prosperity Colorado had not
shared as fully as the resources OF the
state justified, owing TO inefficient Demo-
cratic state administration.
Judge Belford in his opening remarks
scored the Denver News for its change OF
tune on Colorados resources and pros
perity to influence political action. The
sins Of the Democracy in the revenue law
and in the acts OF the state board Of
equalization were presented in forceful
language. All equalization was in favor
OF the corporations, and all the relatives
OF the board were continuously riding on
railroad passes. The Democracy has lost
the genius Of government. The failure Of
Democratic administrations 70 do any
thing for irrigation and the valuable worI;
Of the Republican party in that direction
were viyidly eontrasted. The Democrat
ie party has always been party OF free
trades. Can such party be trusted To
secure protection to beet sugar? Colo
RADIO is now in shape to figure with Penn
sylvania on an exchange Of eourtesies in
national legislation. having for tho frs,
time product for which we need pro-
lection. Cleyeland's action in calling out
U. s. troops 10 settle a labor dispute was
made TO look mighty small in eontras,
with President Rooseyelt's magniheen,
work In settling the great coal strike,
The speaker closed with an eloquent trib-
ute to President Roosevelt. The address
was greeted with frequent and hearty sp-
plause and made an excellent impress
sion.

Otcro Canal Sold.

The Otero canal was sold at the court
house in Denver last Saturday morning.
and as there were no offers for the prop
perty the canal passed into the hands Of
the bondholders. Foreclosure was taken
on unpaid bonds to the amount Of $4,000.
one Of the principle holders Of the bonds
being Judge Berry.
The canal was subsequently purchased
from the bondholders by the La Junta lr-
rigation Company, a corporation recently
organized, and which will hold the canal
property in trust for the otero Irrigation
District, the latter not yet having effected
the sale Of bonds recently voted.-La-

Time For a Change In the State Ad-
u,iuistration.

The last six years have been among
the most prosperous. that Colorado ever
saw. When tho control Of the states e.
naneos and government was turned over
to tho Fusionists in 1896 there was a
surplus Of $4,000 in the treasury. There
is now a large deficit, and tho state has
nothing to show for tho money spent.
Those facts ought TO carry their own les
son.-Fort Collins Express.

TWO GREAT NEEDS..HOSPITAL
AND READING ROOM.
The Former Supplied VIII
Provide the Latter?

Colorado will, in the near future. as in
the past, be the Mecca for thousands Of
Eastern people who are seeking renew
al of health through the medium of the
superior air and climate Of the Rocky
Mountain region. This condition has caus-
ed many invalids TO seek Rocky Ford as
having health-giying advantages equal to
any portion OF the West From this cause,
from sickness which afilcts all commun-
ties, and from accidents, there is always
more or less OF an afflicted population in
Rocky Ford. In the past there have been
times when it was difficult TO secure suit
able Accommodations for sick persons. We
are pleased to announce that this want
has now been supplied. Mr.. and Mrs. C,
II. Baldwin have leased the large new
residence occupied by the late n. L. How
ey and will convert it into a hospital or
sanitarium. The building has all the
modern Improvements and is in every
way adapted TO the use of sick people.
MIR. and Mrs. Baldwin should have the
good will and cooperation Of our citizens
in making this venture a success.
There is another enterprise which is as
badly needed as sanitarium facilities.
Rocky Ford contains an unusual number
Of young men who. when not at work.
have no desirable place OF resort. The
only places open for these young men
during their leisure hours are the saloons
Just the places they should avoid.
What is needed is public reading room
in the business center and on the ground
floor. It should be as easy Of access as
the most centrally located saloon and
should be open early and late. The tables
should be supplied with the latest papers
and magazines. besides library Of in
teresting books. Games. such as chess.
checkers, dominos. etc. should be supplied.
and no restrictions on smoking. Of course.
The rules should be few. All sober men
should be inyiotd To make that place to
spend any idle hours in free and easy
way. Such place Of resort Is greatly
needed in Rocky Ford. Who is tho man
or where is the society which will under
take such mission. which would save
many men from the acknowledged evils
Of saloon associations.

1t is of very little use to reprint Sena-
tor Teller's old Republican speeches. be-
cause nobody longer expects consistency
or coherency from him. He cannot change
as rapidly as Patterson, whom nobody
expects to remain of the same opinion
three months together; but his recent ut
terances show that he has changed so
much that what he said ten years ago has
very little TO do with the case now. Ten
years ago he said that the Republican
party was the best party the country had
ever known: and that it would settle the
silver question as it had settled all others
with which it had been called upon to
deal. He exhorted his hearers to stand
by the party. and settle differences OF
opinion inside the party. He reminded
his hearers of the benefits Of the protect
i've policy. and warned them against the
freaks and yagaries Of Popusm. That
was good doctrine. and II he had stuck to
it the state would have been better off
today. and he would have the sincere re-
spect Of all. But he did not stick TO it;
and for the past two years or more. his
utteranees have indicated that his spirit
has become so soured that hes now will
ing to recant everything he ever said for
Republieanism. Henceforth. at any rate.
he has announced that he intends to be
Democrat: not on silver alone. but in
everything. Under these conditions. no
Republican can vote for him. either di-
rectly or indirectly. without a sacrifice Of
