Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-05-10

going and coming from school who are obliged tc
pass the house and listen to profanity and witness
contortions that would be considered creditable to
the lowest dives of Denver. Idaho Springs
not afford to permit this place to Chicago
creek furnishes pleasant drive for tourists in
time and it is not pleasant to take party of
ladies up the creek for drive and have their at
tention forcbly called to this one of the re-
sort features of one of the finest little cities in the
country
Twenty-one years ago prohibition adopted
in Kansas. There have been many comments con-
corning it-some favorable and unfavorable.
One thing is certain and that is that Kansas is re-
tanning it, and the voice of the people is always
conceded to be the right principle. We know
nothing about it, but here is interview with
Governor Stanley of that state in which he takes
advantage of the twenty-irst birthday of the law
to express his sentiments. This is what he says:
"Prohibition in Kansas has been marked by very
beneficial results and this is apparent to anyone
who will travel through Kansas and through any
of the license states that may be selected aud note
the difference in the types of young in the
two states There are thousands of young men in
Kansas who never saloon and will avoid it,
if for no other reason because it is under the ban
of the law"
Denver is to advertise for motto. During the
Worlds Fair Chicago was in the swim in this line
and was always pictured big fat buxom girl,
wearing a sash upon which was inscribed, s'I
Will" And she looked if she would Now
Denver is desirous of having a motto and Siftngs
suggests that in the light of recent events, Hands
Up would be good one The jury scandal as an
important proposition would bring "Whats In
Itr' into the class of good notices. Or I'VE
Do, - not mentioning who they do, would not be
bad motto. There many that apparently
would reach the point. Seriously, however, the
idea is good one. Anything that inspires conf
dence breeds a strength of character makes peo-
pie wake up accomplshes anything in the line
of advancement or progress is a,good thing

Denver has royal poisoning her hands
and Mrs. Gabrin is under arrest a result. Since
the newspapers have finally secured her arrest,
they trying to show that she has been
"poisoner'' all her life, and that a woman from
Kansas City was given poison. The first thing we
know the woman will be accused of being respon-
sible for the election of Patterson to the United
States and all the other calamities that have
been visited upon the state for years. She ought
to have chance that she is being placed upon
the defensive, and this is the time when news
papers should avoid the idea of prejudicing pub
lie sentiment against her

1t begins to look as if the Denver Times was to
lead in dispensing with the red ink attachments to
newspaper The people will applaud the Times
for its action in this regard The public cannot be
fooled. 1t knows good item of news without the
item being displayed in red ink. Editor Carroll is
doing very sensible thing when he refuses to
cater to the morbid tastes created by the past two
or three years of yellow journalism in Denver
The people have had more of the stuff than they
could digest. 1t is getting so that fellow has to
take an emetic after reading some of the Denver
papers.
'In climatic sense, it seems like entering
paradise to get out here" remarked John T. Mall
alieu, secretary OF the Republican State Central
committee of Nebraska, the occasion of his
visit here Saturday and Sunday. eve have al
ready had the hot winds and the sitting suffocat-
ing weather, and it begins to look as if we would
have more of it before the season closed. One
thing is certain about Idaho Springs, and that is
that there is no finer climate in the world. 1t is
just about perfection and it has been my good for
tune to test it in winter well as in summer

Colorado Springs papers having a warm
contest of words concerning the stock exchange in
that city and writing wonderful reports con-
corning it as a success and as failure We are in
clined to believe that the carpng papers are little
too severe on the exchange. People will soon see
that their investments better in that than they
would be in the oil fotations over the country and
return to the first proposition. We do not believe
in the listing of so many prospects, but the deal
ing in the legitimate stocks of legitimate enter
prises is honorable and should be encouraged.
