THE PLAIN FAIR FACTS.

The world is full of demagogues who
present theories and by these theories
prey upon the passions and prejudices of
the people. 1t is, under such circum-
stances, refreshing to find an official high
in public position who is not afraid to
tell the truth. President Roosevelt, in
his recent speeches, has told the truth.
Here is one gem from his remarks:
"Wise laws and fearless and upright
administration of the laws can give the
opportunity for such prosperity as that
we see about us. But this is all that they
can do. When the conditions have been
created which make prosperity possible,
then each individual man must achieve
it for himself, by his own thrift, intelli-
gence, energy, industry and resolute
purpose. If, when people wax fat they
kick, as they have been prone to do since
the days of Jeshurun, they will speedily
destroy their own prosperity. If they
go into wild speculation and lose their
heads, they have lost that which no leg
islation can supply, and the business
world will suffer in consequence. If, in
a spirit of sullen envy they insist upon
pulling down those who have profted
most by the years of fatness, they will
bury themselves in the crash of common
disaster 1t is difficult to make our ma
terial condition better by the best laws,
but it is easy enough by bad laws to
throw the whole nation into ar abyss of
misery"
And how true are these wordsl Peo-
pie who enjoy prosperity are the ones to
make the first move to destroy it. 1t is
human greed. One man dislikes to see
another make more than he can make.
The strong preys upon the weak but
there is no legislation that can prevent
this display of greed. The workingman
organizes unions to aid him in getting all
he can for his toll. The rich man organ
ICES trusts to aid him in getting all he
can for his product. The spirit in each
case is identical. Laws can be passed to
restrict it but they cannot be passed and
made absolutely prohibitory.
Life is a struggle for supremacy.
Every man is one of the warriors on
either the one side or the other. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is frank in his statement
and the people, reg ardless of party, will
admire his frank spirit.

The Redmen's blowout last Saturday
was not what it would have been had it
not been for the unfortunate weather.
The organization is popular one, how
ever, and the next state meeting will be
held in this city. Every encouragement
should be shown the members of the
organizations by the people of the city.

turing whatever plums he desired.

foolish to think that it would do anything

to such tactics for they have nothing else upon
which the argument of a campaign can be based.
In state affairs it will be continual perform
ance of apologies. There is nothing they can do
besides apologize for the mistakes made during
the present administration of affairs. One can
hardly lead himself to believe that they can apollo
gize enough to elect Democratic state ticket.
The Republicans need but to present the true fig
ures concerning the mistakes of Democracy and
the serious consequences that have followed for
the people of the state. At the present time the
people of Colorado are enjoying prosperity. We
need go beyond last week S issue of the Silver
Plume Standard (Democratic) to prove this. Here
is clipping from that paper: can era of prosper
ity greater than ever known before seems to
be dawniug upon this county, not only in one sec
ton, but in every part of it. The great mining
enterprises under way in every district are certain
to steadily increase the already large mineral pro-
duction, and as becomes easier to interest out
side capital in mining propositions enter
prses will be inaugurated. The great advances
made in mining methods in the way of reducing
the cost of development work. and the improved
processes of treating whereby the lower grades
that few years ago could not be handled are now
made profitable and are having their effect"

There is little room for doubt that Barney
O'Connell will be the Democratic candidate for
the legislature. While 1 esteem personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. O'Connell it would take more
argument than he delivered during the last session

law-maker Outside of his hostility to the resolu-
ton on the death of the lamented Queen of Eng
land there nothing in his career that could be
considered even demonstrative. And in this DEM
stration he unwise. In time of death and sor-

Former Mayor Of Virginia City Found
Dead Under His Wagon. Il

Virginia City, Nov. Former
Mayor Henry S. Gilbert of this city,
a pioneer and the builder of one OF the
first houses ever erected in Montana,
was found lying, bleeding and uncon-
scious. under his wagon, half a mile
from here, last evening. Help was
summoned as soon as he was found,
but he died within a few minutes
after it arrived.
Mr.. Gilbert was returning from a
business trip in the country, n the
coroner's jury, after investigating the
accident, decided that he had driven
too close to the edge of the bridge IN
the dark and had overturned the
wagon which had killed him. The In
quest was held by Justice Johnson
and a jury.
Mr.. Gilbert was n of the mos
prominent men in the county. HI
came here in 1868 and built the Wiz
ginia City brewery in 1864. He hat
served two terms as mayor OF VII
ginia City, two terms as assessor o
the county and four years as treasur
er.
