GEE wHIZ!
Gee Whiz!
What a Devil
This liquor is.
Aud how sad
To think
In the cause of drink,
A Pearson angel
Has gone to the bad.
Oh, Demon Rum
Indeed you are bum.
Who knows
What evil flows
In every drop of booze,
And what
A disreputable lot
OF sin
Is found within
The gates of Gin9
Nobody knows
And everybody goes
Up against it hard
When he tries to find out.
If you don't believe it,
Ask Pearson.
See?

From reports in the newspapers we
should say that the observance of Me-
mortal Day this year in Maine was
more in accord with the reverence and
patriotism which should prevail on
such an occasion than ever before.
There was an almost complete absence
Of the noisy sports which at one time
threatened to turn into day of merry
making this day for honoring those
who gave their lives to their country,
and a general suspension of business.
Locally the observance of the day was
highly satisfactory in all its features.
The memorial sermon by Rev. Il. +.
Edgett was pronounced by the veterans
one of the best to which they had ever
listened, and all are loud in praise OF
the address by Mr.. F. p. Wilson of this
city. The sun kindly shone on the pro
cession, and nature had furnished a
wealth Of bloom with which to adorn
the graves of the fallen heroes. Only
i've names were added to the Roll OF
Honor by reason Of deaths during the
past year; but
Each year the ranks grow thinner.
And the halting steps more slow;
Each year the eyes grow DINNER,
And the flag waves to and fro
Over a band of heroes
Who, to muftied beat of drum
Or to stirring blast of bugle,
Some day will refuse to come.
And the young feet that now hasten
To the woodland and the dell
For the buttercups and daisies
And the lily's dropping bell,
Into rank and file will gather
Sons of Veterans, true and brave
Who will neer forget their duty
To keep green each soldiers grave.

President Rooseyelt's address at
Arlington Memorial day was a notable
departure from the usual Grafton on
such an occasion, and has been com
mended and deprecated according to
the politics of the commentators. Re
publican politicians in Congress regard
this address as the keynote of the
answer to be made to the attacks on
the American army which have been
made by the Democratic senators per-
slstently within the past six weeks or
more during the consideration of the
Philippines civil government bill. In
fact, the discussion of the administra-
tive feature of the bill has been subor-
dinated almost entirely to the criticism
of the military power. Isolated acts of
cruelty, all of them, as Senator Lodge
stated, at least a year old, have been
cited to stigmatize the entire army.
Senator Carmack, for instance, asked
how long it would be before the army
would sink to depths of EQUALIZATION
aNad degradation which would make it a
Hnt companion to relieve Herod in the
solitude of his infanmy. Senator Raw
Inns bitterly scored the army. Another
Democratic senator said the atrocities
of the army were worthy of an Attila

terrible days of war-war in which noble
men and women, too, sacrificed their best

Engineering Courses in Colorado
College.

With the completion of its new sci
ence hail now being erected at cost
of $3.50. 900. Colorado College will es-
tnbllsh school Of engineering. Sew
eral courses will be offered. namely
n general course in engineering ana
special courses, civil engineering and
irrigation, electrical engineering. min
ing engineering and sanitary engineer
ing. The general course will be OF a
non-professional character, giving op-
portunlty for the student to combine
liberal culture studies with those OF
applied science. The first two years
work in the special courses will be
much the game In all, chief emphasis
being laid upon the mathematical
studies preparatory TO the later work
In the last two years the student VIII
specialize, having large amount OF
shop work with frequent visits to fac
tories, engineering works, electrical
plants etc, under the direction OF IN
structors. 1t Is intended TO make this
new work very thorough. and several
new professors will be added to the
faculty. men who are thoroughly
trained both on the theoretical and
the practical side OF engineering.
The college will also establish
courses in commerce and finance. and
preliminary courses in medicine and
law. The former will be designed to
train men in a broad way for the
modern forms of business and com
mercial life; the latter will be the
equivalent OF the first year in the col
Ieges of law and Of medicine Of high
repute, and will thus make IL possible
for the student to shorten his medical
or law course.
AT the completion of four years
course in engineering the degree OF
Bachelor OF Science in Engineering
will be given; at the completion OF
four years course In commerce. the
student will receive the degree of

These courses will he offered for the
first time next year. and II is thought
that there are large numbers OF
young men in the state to whom they
will especially appeal.

PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Good Report Brought by Governor

Honolulu. Nov. 1.-The transport
Sumner arrived here October sOth en-
route to San Francisco with Gen. A.

The steamer passed through a terrible
experience in typhoon soon after
leaving Manila. She lost one OF her
boats and had several damaged. and
for number OF hours was In grave
danger.
In an interview published by the
Commercial Advertiser. Governor
Wright had the following to say OF
conditions In the Philippines and
their future:
THE development following the in
nuguration OF the civil government OF
the Islands have been most satisfac-
tory. We have now civil government
almost everywhere and the people
seem to be learning its advantages.
The system OF provincial and munici-
pal government has worked well. Dur
ing the past year there has not been a
single defalcation and very few thefts.
There is a degree OF peace and safe
ty in the Philippines now that was
never reached under the Spanish rule.
The Spaniards used to pay the brig
Hnds 10 Keep the pence anu We nave re-
fused to continue this system. After
the passage of the Philippine bill last
year. we established the insular con-
stabulary and We now have 5000 OF
these police. We find that they are
the best men for the business and
they have cleared the provinces oflaw-
breakers with great rapidity. The ser
vice is one which appeals to the ma
lives. for the police are chosen from
the tribes where they must serve.
THE future Of the islands Will be
great one What are needed most are
railroads and. these may be built soon
by American capital. There Is trunk
line on the island OF Luzon now under
consideration, and Its bulldlng Will
help matters greatly"

WAR OVER ASSESSMENTS.
Teller County Makes Cut that is De
clared ILLEGAL.

Denver, Nov 1.-THE first gun in
the battle to be waged by county OIL
cials against the State Board OF
Equalization, in the mater of al
legged unfair equalization of assess
ments, was fired yesterday by Coun-
ty Assessor Lysight OF Teller county
The state auditor received from AS
SCISSOR Lysight an amended abstract
of the Teller county assessment. re-
ducing the total valuation OF all prop
erty in the county from $20,300.753 TO
s12. .309 900.
This is a cut of nearly IS 200 900, or
more than one-third of the total valu-
alton. Auditor Crouter was not in his
Office when the communication was re-
ceived. but Deputy Auditor Daniels.
who has charge of such matters. was
overcome with surprise. County AS
SCISSOR Lysight's letter states that the
figures he submitted were ''as amend
ed by our County Board of Equaliza-
ton in their meeting" and included
the reductions in railroad valuations
made by the state board.
Where the Teller county officials
got their authority to make any such
reduction cannot imagine" said
Deputy Auditor Daniels. THE county
abstracts were all in a month ago, and
the state board passed on them and
made the tax levy. and we have certi-
fled the levy and the amounts due
from the various counties 1t is rath-
er late in the day for county asses
sor to amend his abstract. especially
when he cuts down his total by nearly
$1,000, 600. In my opinion the action
is clearly illegal. and shall recon-
mend that no attention be paid TO this
amended abstract"
The revenue law provides that the
county commissioners shall sit as a
board of equalization on the first and
third Tuesdays in September. and at
no other time. Section so of the law
provides that the county board may
equalize. but expressly prohibits IL
from making any increase or decrease
In the total valuation Of a county.
