The Herald finds it necessary to &C.

advertisers makes this almost impos-

advertisers with due consideration.

in the long run by issuing Saturday

After years wandering, The Her

noon with an announcement from Mr..

goods and clothing dealer AS for
the advertisement in question, it is
useless to call special attention To
same, as it speaks for itself. The
women of Durango and surrounding
country know what real values are,
and can judge for themselves, but we
desire to call special attention to the
fact that Mr.. Kruschke finds that ad-
vertising in The Herald pays and is
ayailing himself of the advantages
thus offered, and We trust that our
thousands of readers will justify his
belief by responding to his special OF
feripgs, which are made public in

DEFEATING TRAIN ROBBERS.

While thieves abound and waste
rlaces are numerous in the country
along lines of railways, attempts VIII
be made to rob trains. The sparseiy
settled character of part OF the country
and the distance To be comprised be-
fore police or aid can be secured make
the problem difficult to handle. 1t was
thought that armng the train employees
might prove effective and in number

often defeat their purpose We're ii pos

once. But where these outlaws get the

their care. However, there are many
who would not hesitate to accept such
duty and of this stamp the railway
companies need to get many, as it is
probable that it will be necessary for
some time to come to meet force with
force.
These robbers are wise and cunning
IN their operations. They wait after one
event until the excitement and all in
terest suhside and in the luil of re-
stored confidence among the people they
begin their dastardly work again. 1t
seems part of well-organized plan
to do this. 1t may be necessary here
after to adopt more heroic measures OF
if one can be devised, to de
feat these robbers.

POLITICAL WISDOM AND BIAS.

Are we controlled by our reason. our
wisdom, our prejudices or our bias in
! forming political opinions? 1t is feared
I we are too often controlled by an in
/ herited bias. even tho it places us at Il
! disadvantage. This inherited opinion
may not be the wrong one but it has no
stronger hold upon us than an erron-
eous view frequently secures. Who is
to be the Judge. who to constitute the
jury to decide this? The majority rules
in this country. Many minds usually
arrive at and formulate a just jadg-
ment. 1t may be wrong occasionally in
d policy to promote the public good but
view and minority leaders do not reach
commanding positions in the political
world. The T.-R. has in mind an able
Iowa man. and Il successful man III his
profession and as the world goes, who
might have reached the highest politi-
cal office in the gift of the state or one
OF the highest judicial positions in the
nation. but he took and held the off
side in politics, he Was like the typical
Irishman at home, feminist the gov
eminent He preferred to hold on to
his political bias.
Analysed a little further In a general
way this political bias is based to some
extent or personal pride. People fear
the shafts of ridicule: they dread the
appellation of weather-cock They do
not like to be called changeable in matt
tiers political. tho 1t may be the part of
wisdom. Independence in this respect,
while growing, is far from the masses
and may never reach them. Many of
them prefer to hide their views and
withdraw from political activity than
TO take sl bold stand.
1t would seem that this year CT all
periods would lead the reasoning
thinking voter into the republican
ranks. There is absolutely no justlica-
ton for holding to the opposition this
season simply because ii is athwart the
prosperity and progress of the country
To be a democrat this year simply to
preserve the sembance of name is
not the part of wisdom.

The popular trip for the poor stu

said that nearly n hundred Harvard
men worked their way across the ocean
last summer in this way-feeding and
taking care of cattle to pay the en-
penses of their TRANSPORTATION and

from three to six students are PLAN

torded by the trip.
Another popular summer diversion
for Harvard men is hoboing. Each year
after commencement sees many men,
some wealthy, some not, travelling on
truck cattle car and blind baggage, in
company with the common tramp. Last
year one Harvard man Went all the
way to Alaska in this manner. while
another travelled to California and back
without Il dollar In his pocket, and With
the worst kind of rags upon his back.
These men see life as it is. and once
having "tramped it," as they say, it is
hard for them to spend Il summer in
any other way. Now and then they run
