4. M Patterson, the new senator from

the ease with which he can slip from

eight years he has been counting DEM
ocracy and populism turn about, ex-
cept when he was supporting indepen-
dent republican and other local tickets.
In Washington, his colleagues are just
catching on to a story we'll known in
Denver, and there are those who stand
ready to vouch for the truth of the
story. A young lady was put on to cam
vass the election district in which Mr..
Patterson lived. She rang the bell of
the magnificent Patterson home on
Pennsylvania avenue and inquired of
the colored boy who answered the ring
the name of the occupant.
"Mistah Tom Pattahson,' responded
the boy.
What are his politics." asked the
canvasser, keeping strictly to her list
of printed questions.

These personal and local happenings
recall to mind another good story worth
repeating, relative to Dean Hart, a 10y

Denver. The deans family employ
none but religious, well-trained serv-
ants. AT one time, their help having
left them, they advertised for another
and after many trials at last selected
an Irish girl they thought would give
satisfaction. Bridget was instructed
concerning her various duties, then led

the lady, and each morning you knock

Promptly at o'clock next morning
the buxom lass appeared at the door

pearing to suddenly remember, she

screamed: MY God, get up, it's 8

PRINCE HENRY BEwiLDERED.
Royal Visitors Private Opinion of
America Comes to Surface.


Berlin, March 2s.-From the privacy
of his flagship Prince Henry permitted
Il few confidential reflections on his trip
to drift to Berlin. He declared that he
was chiefly impressed with the terri
torial magnificence and numerical
strength of the United States. lie
found President Roosevelt a marvel of
frankness and energy and cordially
liked his habit of saying what he
meant and meaning what he said. The
members of the princes party say that
the presidents animation was occa-
sionally bewildering.
The prince is anxious to pay visit
to the United States at some future
time, travelling incognito, free from the
restrictions of reception committees,
with unlimited leave of absence and
large letter of credit. He was disap-
pointed because the time at his disposal
made possible only a superficial esti-
mate of men and conditions. He found
the people the best behaved in the
world, and specially remarked their
individual determination to keep order.
The prince says that he never feared
anarchists, after having seen a typical
AMERICAN CTOWd uduUle llSSlI. ne QlS-
covered that American millionaires
have other tastes besides money
making, and was astonished at their
keen insight into political and economic
conditions in Europe.
The riding exhibition at West Point
convinced the prince that the American
cavalrynen are the most dashing
troops in the world. He found the new
warships paragons, but thinks that a
considerable part of the navy will soon
be out of date. In his opinion, the
American sailors are inferior in some
respects to the German salts. He adj
mired the lake marine.
The rich floral displays he saw every
where are among his most abiding
memories, and he was particularly
pleased with the receptions at ST. Louis
and Milwaukee, because of their
marked simplicity. The prince de-
clared that Chicago's lake front is an
ideal setting for a great city, and re-
grets his inability to make tour of the
great lakes.
One of the deepest Impressions Of
several of Henry's suite is the charges
of American hotels and cab drivers.

dicted that Nicely would be protected
by the administration can now go way
back and sit down beside those who
predicted the same thing about Capt.
Carter.
To the Des Moines Capital THE name
of Waterloo naturally suggests place

The Fairfield Ledger charges the
twenty ninth general assembly with
proving itself as extravagant and as
reckless in its expenditure of the peo-
pies money as any of its predecessors.
1T seems to be wasting it's time in the
discussions of frivolous matters and
letting greater ventures take care of
themselves
The Telegraph Herald thinks The
tendency to decrease the age limit for
parents upon whose labor the family
depends for support Is constantly in
creasing the army of child workers in
the cities"
According to the Charles City Intel
ligencer the issue in the Fourth district
will be between Congressman Haugen
and Mr.. Blythe, and the minor candi-
dacies will fall by the wayside.
The Burlington Hawkeye is fer
ninst" legislation against osteopaths
and other practitioners outside of the
regular schools. 1t thinks IF people
want to be healed by prayer and faith,
1t is their right. If they want to be re-
lieved of pain or disease by rubbing, or
by baths, it is their inherent privilege.
If they prefer to be restored to health
by iockeying their bones, that is their
constitutional prerogative. If they
prefer the prescription case. that is also
their right. In any or all methods of
healing, the people have reserved rights
and they do not need guardians to Sc
lect the system of cure for them"
The Sioux City Journal wishes Col.
Watterson to know that "the only
INSTRUMENTATION this country is afraid
of is the Mexicanization of our curren-
cy. The country, with Col. Watterson's
help, has already indicated that it will
not stand for that"
The Cedar Rapids Republican says
"the Fifth district this year feels kind
ly to the candidacy of Mr.. Ketchum, of
Marshalltown," and with regard to Col
Mowry and the commissionership it
notes that "Col. Mowry himself has
asked for no vindication."
The Gate City is of the opinion that
"As long as the Iowa legislature con-
tinues to elect as capable and worthy
United States senators as it has uni
forrnly done in the past there isn't need
or even excuse for changing the method
Of their election and choosing them by
direct vote of the people. Nothing
could possibly be gained in this state by
the adoption of the joint resolution
now before the legislature. 1t is good
rule in all such cases to let well enough
alone"

A Silly Story.

a local newspaper is publishing a
good deal of nonsense TO the effect that
the country between the thirty-seventh
and thirty-eighth parallels still is part
of New Mexico, because il was part of
New Mexico when that territory was
organized under the act Of September
8, 1850.
New Mexico included Mt that time
not only the strip mentioned, but part
of Nevada and the whole of Arizona.
The strip between the thirty-seventh
and thirty-eigth parallels was annexed
to Colorado by act of congress Febru-
ary %, 1861 Arizona was annexed
to Nevada by the act Of May 8, 1865.
The strip was included in the bound
aries of Colorado by the enabling act,
passed by congress andapproved March
g, 1875, under which Colorado became
state, and the southern boundary of
the state therein isspecifically is declared
to be the thirty-seventh parallel.
There is not particle of foundation
for suggestion that any part Of Colorado
belongs to New Mexico. Even had
there been no previous legislation con-
cerning the southern strip, the enabling
act would have made it absolutely a
part Of this state. Den yer News:

1t seems useless to talk about water
works for Dolores, because nearly every
property owner thinks such thing
would get too close to his pocket book
and Immediately sees a ghost whenever
water works are mentioned. But open
your eyes minute and look around.
What rate of insurance are you paying?
Six and one-half per cent on business
houses, eh? Isn't that not only getting
close but clear inside of your pocket
book? Then on the other hand, sup
pose your building burns, how much OF
its value do you get?
1t is true that a system of water works
cannot be put in for song and it is
equally true that it viii not cost for
tune. 1t is also a fact that such a sys-
TEN will reduce the insurance rate and
if other towns no larger than Dolores
can own their own water systems and
operate them at a profit there is no
. reason why this town cannot do the
same. If the matter is considered in
the proper light this town will have a
good water works system in operation
before the Fourth of July is again cele-
brated.

To get out among the boys.
