1t has put in ninety days of strenuous
falsifying on its own account.
We call attention to this because we
believe the people have a right to know
whether paper is telling them the truth
or whether it is resorting to fiction.
Whenever you read News howl in the
future regarding its undying love for the
poor taxpayer, you can just make up
your mind that there is some bad motive
behind the howl.
If it was the friend of the taxpayers,
as it claims to be, it would have made a
fight to relieve the people of the burden
it admits they were bearing. Such pol
itics are, indeed, shady and will be con-
demned by every honest and intelligent
thinking man and woman of Colorado.
If the News lied to you three months
and then comes out and tells you after it
has succeeded in getting you to cast
your ballot to it's way of thinking, that it
lied-that it obtained your suffrage un-
der false pretense-that it was work
ing and did succeed in getting you to
cast your vote so that it would burden
you with greater taxation, what do you
think of such a paper?
In the issue before election this paper
called attention to the very facts the
News mentions, and did it honestly. If
the Republicans become as corrupt and
do the same thing, we will tell the truth
about them just the same.
The people of the state have been af-
forded an opportunity to realize what the
word of the Rocky Mountain News ever
amounts to, they should remember the
lesson.

PROFIT OF IMPROVEMENT.

The average citizen does not stop to
think what public improvement means to
him and to his property. He is bellev-
er in the idea that conditions are good
enough and is not inclined to be disturb
ed by innovations. The people of Ida
ho Springs are many of them in this
condition. They say the hotel business
is good enough to suit them without
stopping to think that new modern ho-
tel in this city would enhance the value
of their property great many dollars.
If asked to lose an opportunity to
make something in any ordinary busi-
ness proposition they would get mad, but
when asked to do something that will
make them some money in this line they
are apparently lifeless and listless. Ev-
cry citizen should be in favor of better
hotel and he should be in favor of accom-
plishing everything in his power to ac-
complish toward making the city great
success. 1t cannot succeed in any meas
ure without giving him some help.

DENVER GETTING AWAKE.

During the past three months Denver
capital has been investing heavily in the
district and has picked up some of the
best of the propositions. The Denver
investors are men familiar with every
mining district in the state and the fact
that they pass the others and place their
cash in Idaho Springs suggests the good
reputation the district has gained by
steady production and honest methods.

THE LUCANIA PUSHING.

The Lucania tunnel is pushing right
along now and it is reported that the
company has some rich ore about which
it is saying very little. Mr.. Kirby is on
the ground all the time and is keeping
everything filled with abundant life and
energy.
The people of the district are begin
ming to realize what it means to them and
are saying excellent words in its favor.
At the present time, with machinery
placed in the tunnel to drive it ahead, it
ought to be the first to reach the great
gold belt of Gilpin county and solve the
question of transportation and drainage
for those old time and profitable mines.

WHY NOT PLAY FAIR?

"One need not go far to find the
true reasons.
"The Democratic state administra-
ton has fallen far short of doing its
duty. 1t was eXtravagant and gave
some cause to believe that it was even
worse. One instance stands out in
glaring relief. The legislature appro-
priated upward of $500, 900 with which
to pay the emergency vouchers upon
which funds had been advanced by
patriotic citizens to maintain state in
stitutiors which must have closed but
for the loans. Not a dollar of the en-
ergeDcy vouchers was ever paid, while
nearly two-thirds of the vast sum ap-
propriated was used for other purpos-
es-purposes for which the law did
not sanction its use, and that were in
part created because the sum was
there to be attacked.
"The revenue measure "a law of
which the Democracy may well be
proud was nullified in its vital feat
ures by the board of equalization. No
Republican board could have b cen
more subservient to the great corpor-
ations in dealing with their taxes In
establishing valuations the board ig-
nored the vital elements which the law
directed it to consider in determining
valuations-the stocks, bonds.and 9TH
er securities of the corporations. The
valuation of all railroad property was
based, as in the venal days before the
new law, upon the naked, visible and
tangible property. The franchises
and market value of the stocks and
bonds were ignored as though none
existed. The result was that the big
corporations escaped with the pay
ment of but fraction of the tax they
should have been forced to pay, while
the private citizen was taxed up to the
very extreme of his property's valua-
ton. The Democratic state admins
tration having placed upon the statute
books the best tax law that any state
can boast of, deprived the party of all
benefit from it by ccnstruing it for
the corporations and against the citi-
zen. The conduct of the board gagged
every Democratic speaker upon the
the subject of the tax law. Speakers
could not claim credit for the law
without denouncing the Democratic
administration of it.
Democrats wonder why it is that,
with so splendid a ticket and issues
that appealed to Colorado voters, the
Democratic party lost. They need
not. When the public feels that offic-
ials of the party in power are squand-
ering public funds, are robbing tax
payers and granting inordinate favors
to corporations at the public expense,
and that the party ignores or condones
the misconduct, it doesn't care a fig
about the candidates or the issues; it
passes them by and finds the party
and hits it as deadly blow as it can.
And who can blame the public? 1t is
no satisfaction to a Democrat that he
is being robbed or outraged by a Dem
ocrat; nor is it pleasing to a Republi-
can, for he knows that his own time
for treatment will soon come"

We give considerable space to the
above extracts from the Rocky Mountain
News, of the morning following election,
because they tell of the perfdy of politics
as they are usually dealt out to the peo-
pie. Before election the News entered
most general and emphatic denial to ev-
cry one of these charges. 1t went far
ther than this and characterized the
press that denied them and the speakers
who denied them as Liars" and "Wolcott
Hirelings."
After election is over-after the News
has lied to the people every day for three
months, it comes out and admits every
thing charged and indirectly admits that

The authorities should lose time in deter
mining whether there is a house of i'll fame being
conducted in the old haunts up Chicago creek or
not. 1t is place for such institution and the

The Republicans of Colorado owe debt of
gratitude to Chairman Farley of the Republican
state central commtte and Secretary J. F. Vivian
The campaign practically conducted without
money and no promise made any corporation
for the use of its cash. AS result the good work
of both these gentlemen counted, for the people
believe in such campaign.

Prosecutions for timber stealing should be Wig
orously pressed. do not believe all the people
realize that the time is not far distant when the
present denuding of the forests will bring havoc
and especially is this true so far the mining man
is concerned. The timber should be protected and
the man who stands up for its protection will be
known public benefactor in years to come.

Colorado should pass some sort of law that
will serve to place mining a more substantial
basis Either this or the post Office department
should examine the prospect issued by different
companies before they go through mails.

idea of the large number of friends he has in th-

in our opinion that wrong is based upon the fact
that the mining industry has not been conducted
on fair and square basis in the past. Honest
companies have proven winners and paid some
thing to the investor but there have been so many
of the other kind that the people cannot believe
that mining is square investment they look at

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..


That a small quantity of water, say
half a pint, may be made to burst a
strong cask, seems a startling state
ment to make, and yet it is true. 1t is
a well-known law of physics that the
pressure exerted by liquids increases in
proportion to their depth. Suppose,
therefore, that we have a strong cask
filled with water and standing on end.
The slaves of this cask may be made
to burst apart by adding a very small
quantity of water to what is already
in the cask. AS the eask is already
full. some way of adding the water
must be devised. To do this a hole is
bored in the end or head of the cssk
and a long tube of small diameter is
inserted upright. At the upper end of
the tube is a small funnel, into which
water is poured until the tube becomes
full. and when that point is reached
the cask will burst. This seems almost
incredible, but it is only a demonstra-
ton of the law that has been cited.
When the water is poured into the
tube 1t unites with the water In the
cask, and the depth of the water is
several times as great as it was in
the cask alone. The fact that there is
only a small quantity of water in the
tube makes no difference, for it is now
all one body, and its depth Is gauged
from the top of the tube to the bottom
of the cask. AS a matter of fact, this
experiment is only an artificial repro.
duction of what we know takes place
in nature. Some of her greatest con.
vulsions are caused by this very pro.
cess. Suppose, for example, that there
is a great mass of rock, under which
there is a cavity filled with water tina
has nc outlet. Suppose, moreover, tina
there is a crack extending from thu
surface of the ground through thii
mass of rock to the water-filled cavit.
underneath. A rock in this condition
Is a common thing in nature, the cracl
being caused by some disturbance o
the earth, or by its splitting in tn
natural order of things. Now, when 1
rains enough to fill that crack, thu
increasing the depth of water in tn
cavity, the pressure will become s.
great that the rock will be torn into
hundred fragments.

"I saw recently in the press dis
patches from Washington" said r. T.
Smythe of that city. al item to the
effect that the original copy of the
Declaration Of Independence was fad
ing. The story is rue in that the doc
ument is fading, but not true that this
partial obliteration is of recent occur
renee. Many years ago, in taking an
impression of the Declaration for the
purpose of reproducing copies of it, an
acid was used which had a most dis
astrous effect upon the ink with which
the paper was written. The writing
began to fade rapidly-so rapidly, in
deed, that in a short time it was with
extreme difficulty that either the text
Of the instrument or the signatures to
It could be deciphered. At this time
the Declaration hung upon the wall in
the library Of the Department of State.
1t was in a wooden case, supplied with
doors, but during the hours when the
library was open to the public the de-
mands of the visitors caused the doors
to be open also. The action of the
light upon the document was very
hurtful, and in order to preserve it
from further decay the secretary of
state caused a specially constructed
safe to be manufactured for 1t. You
must possess a strong pull to-day to
obtain a glimpse of it, for as the years
pass the fading of the writing. while
checked, nevertheless steadily con-
t!nues. AS a consequence the
department officials guard 1t carefully
and expose it to the light with extreme
reluctance. The safe in which the Dec
laration now rests is on the right of
the entrance to the library, while on
the left-hand wall hangs the case in
which it was formerly kept. A repro
duction now takes its place. but nine
ty-nine people out Of every hundred
who visit the library depart after ex-
aiming this copy, believing that they
have seen the original. They have seen
something, however, for below the
large case is a smaller one containing
a rough draft of the Declaration in ex-
actly the form in which Jefferson wrote
it. This is an original. but as acids
have never touched it it has faded only
a little.'-New York Tribune.

such cases, and young growing willows
have been the victims in nearly every
case. Cambridge used to pride itself
upon its beautiful willows, and II "a
therefore with sorrow that the people
discovered one morning the charred re-
mains Of what had once been a really
beautiful specimen of the willow tree.
The fate of the tree naturally attracted
attention to the phenomenon, and
thereafter but too much opportunity
was afforded for the study of IT. At
one point in the river in particular the
process vas seen. Green trees covered
with rich masses of foliage suddenly
burst forth into conf1agratior and
burned to their very cores. Fine will
lows in full vigor poured forth clouds
OF smoke from their half burned stems.
An examination OF the charred remains
of the trees revealed nothing in the
way Of explanation, but as the trees
which met their fates were for the
most part young there could hardly
have been any putrescence or fermen-
tation. Just why the willows should
meet such sudden ends Is not apparent
but the peculiar formation Of the tree
its plant boughs and the dropping OF
its leaves and flowers may have had
something to do with it.
