TO DISPOSE OF SENATOR TELLER.

The growing prospect of republican
success in Colorado carries with it the
prospect of the compulsory retirement
of Senator Teller. 1t is true that he
has been endorsed by both the demo-
cratic and the populist conventions sep
arately, but those parties fell apart for
general fusion purposes after having
been united for six years. They now
have rival state tickets in the field and
their a~ntagonism reaches out into and
necessarily affects politics in the legis-
lative districts. Thousands of Colo
RADIO republicans who allowed them
selves to be swept away by the free
silver excitement have long ago returned
to their old allegiance, satisfied as prac-
teal men with prosperity and existing
business conditions, and many of them
now thoroughly convinced of the none
tary error on which they left their
party.
Senator Teller had been a republican
on his own statement since 1856, and
in Office as such since Colorado became
a state. He had been in the senate or
cabinet since 1876. His spectacular
withdrawal from the party in 1896 was
based ON the sole ground of 16-to-1
silverism. He therefore now puts him
self in direct antagonism to the multi
tudes of republicans already returned
or returning to the old party who six
years ago followed him out Of it, espe-
cially when he declares himself finally
and formally to be a democrat. He
makes this public declaration, too, in
the face of a strong possibility, If not
indeed a probability, that the demo-
cratic party at its next national con-
vention will recede from the monetary
position taken in 1896 and 1900.
1t is a significant fact that the silver
republican party wen in Colorado has
dissolved, the more radical elements of
it having been absorbed by the demo-
cratic and populist parties. With the
silver issue fading away, and with the
evil record the %fuslonlsts made in the
administration of the state government,
the way is hopefully opening up for the
republicans this year to dispose Of Sen
ator Teller, the most obstinate and rad
ical champion of a once dangerous hnan-
cial heresy, and for Colorado to realign
itself where it naturally belongs as a
republican state.

4 POLITICAL EMEReENc =.

The Mercer-B roatch police commission
has resolved to appoint thirty additional
policemen to serve temporarily, begin
ming next Saturday, until the crisis
has been passed. This action is taken
under the pretext that an extraordinary
emergency has arisen demanding an i'm
mediate increase in the police force for
the maintenance of law and order. In
reality, the proposed increase of the
police force is a bold and brazen at
tempt to purchase several hundred
gullible politicaEworkers with promises
of S7O-per-month positions, which at
best they could hold only for a very
brief time.
If a real emergency exists, the thirty
additional police appointments should
have been made at once, but Broatch,
Mercer & Co. could only bunco thirty
men by pinning stars to their coats in
stead of four or FIVE hundred men whom
they expect to rope in. Therefore the
prizes In the police appointment lottery
are not to be distributed until the day
after the republican primary. That in
itself is a dead giveaway and shows
that no such emergency exists as is pre-
tended by the nonpartisan, nonpolitical
police commission.
The prospect of keeping the thirty new
appointees on the pay roll for any length
of time is decidedly slim. The police
force as it now exists is very nearly up
to its full quota. The police funds are
scarcely more than sufficient to pay the
men now on the pay roll. Consequently,
the additional police appointments will
create an overlap in the police fund or
thirty of the old policemen will have to
be dropped and the new men will take
their places.
Such work is not only scandalous, but
tends to demoralize the whole police
force and make it worthless. But that
old political desperate, William ].
Broatch, will stop at nothing. When
he was mayor he enrolled 400 political
street sweepers to capture the primaries
and paid them out of the city treasury.
The tactics adopted by the new reform
bOdIu are III ASeplhB Win IhlS ISCOLu
and only show the more the necessity of
home rule. When the people are
allowed to select their own police
commissions and hold them responsible
for the abuse of power and usurpation
of authority the looting Of the city treas.
ury for political ends will cease.
AS n matter of fact, the charter makes
the mayor the conservator of the peace
and he is justly held responsible for the
maintenance of law and order. If ar
emergency for additional police appoint
ments really does exist, the commission
should have notified the mayor and re
quested him to appoint the necessary
number Of special policemen. But thai
would not serve the purpose of Mercer
and Broatch in the present politica.

PROTECTING eovraNMnNr EMPLorrs

PROTECTING GOVERNMENT EMPLOFES.
The civil service commission has taken
steps to protect employees of the gov
eminent against persecution and intimi-
dalton, as well as from political assess
ments. 1t appears that the commission
has received a great many complaints
Of violation Of the civil service rules
and it proposes, very properly, to put an
end to this sort of thing, particularly SO
far Al politics is concerned. The law
and the regulations are very specific
and clear and all that the commission
intends to do is to see that they are OBJ
served. 1t has therefore notified the
heads of departments that the civil
service rules must be strictly complied
with, especially with reference to as
sessments and the active participation
OF federal officials in political affairs
outside the plain limitations Of the rules.
The right of government employees to
interest themselves in political affairs is
not denied. but there is a restriction
upon such participation, as, for instance,
they may not take an active part in Pc
litcal conventions or in the direction OF
other parts of political machinery. The
commission has requested the heads OF
departments to have notices posted in
all the offices throughout the country
under their control setting forth the re
quirements of the law.

Do we realize the freedom that Jesus

merely freedom from sin in the sense that
we have come to look at almost exclu-

men into. so that It was stopping progress

do this, and had to do the other, until a
state of suspense was created like unto
that which prevails in India and China
today. Liberalism had so run to seed that
man was regarded as created for the Sab
bath and for an endless lot Of other insti-
