HELLO, CENTRAL!

Does Springfield want long dis
tance telephone connections We
believe so and think everyone
will answer IN the affirmative.
But will the people of Springfield
and vicinity make an effort t.. get
telephone connection with the
outside world? 1t enough interest
is manifested in this matter we do
not doubt that a line connecting
our town with Lamar will be es
tablished by the Colorado Tcle-
phone Company. which company
has this matter under consldera
ton. Such telephone line
would not only connect us with
Lamar, but with oyer two hundred
sixty cities and towns throughout
the state; also with New Mexico
and Wyoming towns. This com
panv is at present putting IN a
line from Las Animas to Holly.
After conyerslng with several
persons regarding the amount OF
patronage such line would re
ceive, we feel confident that it
would pay, and the company is in
favor OF anything reasonable IN
their line which is tor the good OF
the people and that pays.
Telephone connection with La
mar would be oflnestimable value
to our citizens. 1T you had i'm
portant business at the road you
could then save the hundred mile
trip, several days time, expense
and. perhaps, considerable worry
by calling up Lamar. or almost
any other town in the state, bv
phone. People living in other
parts of this county would come
to Springfield TO get the use OF a
telephone. This wonld be 4

GoRKY's INSPIRATION

Jeannette Glider, whose Judgment In iitera-
ture is always entitled to respect, saws of
Gorky: II find him uninspired. not to say
dull, but know people who speak Of his sto
ries with apparently genuine thrills. ] have
read Russian writer's whom I thought great,
but Gorky is not one of them. get no stimu
liant, thrill from his sordid tales" Miss
Glider, refined woman. can certainly hnd~
no stinaulant In Gorky's Russian women.
Very few of them tone down the repulsive
coloring of his books. There is. indeed
somewhat strong portrayal Of the indignation
OF a virtuous maiden of the better class, who
gave young man who gazed upon her while
she was bathing "in the altogether" In a
river, a tremendous pummeling and black
eye, which he fully deserved. but this Is an
exception. Gorky's women are mostly, no
doubt true portrayals of the women in the
poorer quarters of the towns along the Volga
river, whom poverty, sutjectlon, i'll treatment
have bereft of hope. There is an occasional
glinamering Of the true womanliness, but the
beastly quality of the men engenders a me
-phitio atmosphere which seems to blight every
aspiration for what is good and wholesome In
man woman. Gorky's tales positively
unhealthy He goes stunning for his
character sketches and selects the worst
cases Of detected morality he can find. One
refuses to believe that all Russian women Of
the lower class are what he represents them
to be. There is no use painting Russian soci-
ETY. of the lower scale worse than 1t is Now
and then Gorky shows some inspiration In
his descriptive passages, which occasionally
breathe a genuine poetic spirit. The quality
of greatness was not born in Gorky, nei-
ther has it been acquired by him. 1t is not
in him to achieve greatness. He stands IN
literature as in painting sign painter would
stand in comparison with the wonderful gen.
ius of Verestchagn. - .

The STATE CONVENTION

The republicans of Minnesota will name
In their state convention tomorrow the
men who will be Minnesota's chief ofacials
from 1902 to 1904 inclusive. The nom
nations will be more nearly certificates
of election in fact than they ever were
before in this state. While there are
sharp contests for two Offices there are
no factional feelings of threatening ma
ture involved. The ticket nominated will
be loyalty supported.
The sharp divergence between the views
Of the president and those of the Mime
sofa congressional delegation regarding
reciprocity with Cuba will prove annoying
to the convention and may ~embarrass it
and perhaps give ita little excitement. The
convention will at heart doubtless favor
strong Endorsement Of President Roose-
velt including and empha sizing his man
ful advocacy of reciprocity with Cuba. On
the other hand, it will not like to offend
the states members of congress, of whose
influence in congress and devotion to duty
the whole state is, proud. But this is a
state, not a congressional district, conven-
tion, and the members should not feel too
bad if in the end the presidents Cuban
reciprocity policy is indorsed without
qualification.
Our congressman believe they have done
right at Washington in acting freely ac-
cording to their own convictions. They
ought not to object to a free expression
by the convention of its convictions. !

JURIEs AND PUBLIC OPINION

Chief of Police Ames said yesterday, in
commenting on the verdict In the King
case, that he did not believe it possible
for any one to secure a fair trial in the
present state of public opinion.
The chief is mistaken. Any member of
the police force accused of crime can Sc
cure fair trial in the present state of
public opinion. We admit that in times
when public opinion Is cynically indiffer-
entto the wrong -doings of public servants,
instead of Justly Indignant, as now, there
is better chance that an indicted person
will be acquitted. But that Is far from
equivalent to saying that he has better
chance for fair trial. -
The. present state OF public opinion in
Minneapolis Is what we should but can
not. always have. Had there been the
same high toned public feeling in 1900
that there IS now, Ames would not be
mayor. Public opinion at the present
time sternly demands that no guilty man
be allowed to escape. 1t Is far from de-
manding the conviction Of any innocent
man. The present feeling is altogether
creditable to the people Of Minneapolis.
Their anger is aroused at their false
servants and they purpose to punish them.
We do not undertake to deny that
juries in such cases as those now demand
ing public attention are Influenced by
public opinion. When public opinion is
strong and sane, juries are far more apt
to do their duty than in times of maudlin
sympathy with those who are undeserving
and when a betrayal of a public trust is
somehow not rated as anything more
than a venial offense. For this reason
it has been urged that the courts should
proceed to try all the police corruption
cases at once. instead of letting them
go over to fall, after a long summer va
cation. So far as ability to dispose Of the
business is concerned, there is no excuse
for the courts not to handle them now.
The six judges probably handle less bust
ness then three used to-. They could
easily arrange to continue court in session
| Indefinitely without imperiling the health
Of any one. .,...
On the other hand, it is urged that II
would be more digniled and Woulo remove
! all cause Of allegations Of careless haste
and "railroading'' If some of the cases
| were allowed to go over until the Sep
tember term Of court. To do SO woule
nrobably reduce chances for conviction.
The prosecuting attorney and the courts court
should weigh these opposing CO..; contentlon' M ,lo'n
carefully. The grand jury, the Judges
! the petit surtes> and the county attorney
have all done their duty SO we'll that TN
public is firmly convinced that there IS NJ
intention Of paltering. The public Will
