COLORADO'S
FRIEND HEAR.

If anybody has an idea that democ
racy has lost footing in its old time
stronghold at Fruita, they SHOULD
have been present at the big overflow
ing meeting held at Fruita last night
at which Senator Teller and Mrs
Helen Grenfell, were the principal
| speakers.
Such a meeting has not been held
| in Fruita in years. The town hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
there was not even standing room for
those who were more than anxious to
hear Senator Teller.
1t was an old time demonstration,
nothing like the enthusiasm or num-
bers have gathered to hear a speaker
in that town for years, comparable
with the crowd last night.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. S. P. Green, of Fruita, who in
trouuced the various speakers.
Mrs. Grenfell made very interest
ing talk, devoting most of her time to
a review of the conditions in the state
supoI lhteIitlellb > OliCe anu ltS COllueC-
tion with the schools of the state.
Her manner was inspiring and she
has the ability to make most excel
lent speech, which she did last night.
Senator Teller was at his best last
night. The rest of day with his
family on his farm near this city was
much to his benefit and he spoke with
assurance and power. He gave some
most interesting history and through
out his speech he was listened to with
marked attention. He spoke for a
period of an hour and half and dur
ing that time he held his audience,
hardly person stirred from their seats
to disturb him.
The local candidates, Messrs. No
laned and Carroll made short talks.
The meeting was one of the best
held in thi; county, far exceeding
any local demonstration by any other
party in the entire county and augurs
we'll for a splendid victory at the
polls in November
The speakers left Fruita this morn
ing for Glenwood Springs. where
they will speak and then go on to
Aspen.

AVERAGE
Al AMOUNTS.

Statistics have been compiled show
ing the average cost of education per
pupil per month in number of the
leading school districts in Colorado
for 1901. The list is interesting,
showing the average amounts expend-
ed bv various school boards in ed
ucating their youth and while there
is wide range of difference in aver
age expenditure. it can be counted for
usually by local conditions of expense,
supplies, living, etc. The town of
Longmont shows the lowest average
of the few leading places so far COM
piled, Notwithstanding that Longmont
has good schools and as we'll supplied
as any in the state. We should be
pleased to receive reports from other
district of Colorado and adjoining
states, for the purpose of comparison
of this interesting subject.

A HOT SHOT.

Talk about your j. Stitt Wilson's.
he was not in the same class with the
prohibition orator, Rev. r. A. N.
Wilson, in his speech at the corner of
4th and Main streets last night. With
out desiring to applaud what was said
by Rev. Wilson, and speaking only
of his oratory it hit about as near the
mark as any speaker who has visited
this city in the present campaign.
The public has been RECALLED from
time to time by socialists who have
prided themselves ON J. Stitt Wilson S
oratory but he has no argument to be
compared to that of Rev. Wilson.
The fact is that Stitt Wilson is
spectacular and with a few stock
phrases, while Rev. Wilson filings
logic right and left with arguments
that are the most telling. The crowd
was held as if spell bound at the cor
ner while the speaking lasted.
One of the very finest lines of shirts
which has been seen in the city in a
long time at-Kirlin's.
