WESTERN SLOPE DEMOCRATS

The organization of the western
slope Democrats into a federation de
signed to secure for members OF the
Democratic party in that section due
recognition is natural result of that
selfshness which has caused the
Democratic leaders Of Denver and Pu-
eblo to grasp everything In sight for
themselves and their immediate fol-
lowers
1t is unfortunate that there has been
any occasion for the organization oi
such a federation, for sectionalism In
a state is a thing at all times to be
deplored 1t tends to divide the
states efforts and interests. and 1t
impairs the loyalty to the common
wealth as a whole which is of such
great Importance to its welfare.
But who can blame the Democrats
Of western Colorado for rebelling
against the autocracy which has
ruled the party from this side Of the
main range ever since the Fusionists
came into power? The entire organ
ization has been run in the interests
OF a few politicians who make their
headquarters either in Denver or Pu
eblo. and who care nothing whatever
about the men who spe nd their time
and money in other sections for par
ty welfare and success. Democratic
triumph means to Old Perplexity and
other leaders Of his class nothing but
personal advancement for themselves.
The western slope Democrats are
| their burden bearers, well fitted to do
manual labor and risk all they have
for the cause; but when 1t comes to
division of the spoils the western
fellows are not in it. The bulk Of
everything worth having goes to the
little gang which swings. pendulum
| like between Denver and Pueblo.
| But that the federation Of western
slope Democrats will accomplish any
thing is in the highest degree i'm
probable. The Denver-Pueblo gang
is determined that the United States
senatorship shall stay on this side OF
f, the range. and It is improbable that
the nomination for congressman at
large will be allowed to escape the
| eager clutches of the same gang. It
| nominations will be allowed to drift
| to the other side OF the mountains,
but it is improbable that the men who
are now protesting and their friends
will receive any better recognition.
In this connection, 1t would be well
for them to consider the futility Of
their protests in still another light.
Any nomination for a state once
which may be given them will after
all be an empty honor. There will
be no Democratic candidates for state
or congressional honors elected in Col
orado this year. The people are so
disgusted with the Fusion
conglomeration that they will have
nothing to do with 1t. Out of office
and out Of power will go as sure as
election day comes around next No

EGGS AS FOOD.
A Few Suggestions Concerning New
Methods Of Serving.

Few Suggestions Concerning New
Methods Of Serving.
According to statistics last year. the
American hen, made q tremendous
record in producing eggs, ahead Of
all other Industries as a money max
er. Just now. In the transition from
winter to spring, although tempera-
lures may not rise and the weather
may still howl, the human system
needs hygienic food. Eggs largely
replace meat, and while not such a
caloric forming food, are equally nour-
ishing, some claim more SO. At all
events without entering into q scien-
tidc analysis Of the component ele-
ments Of an agg. which am sure you
would skip as being very dry reading,
will tell you of few comparatively
little known ways OF preparing the
wholesome dish Tor breakfast.
A creole cooks eggs most frequent
ly in olive oil. All Latin races use
quantities Of this delicious vegetable
oil. The ssmi-tropical climates in
which they live seem to demand some
such preventive OF biliousness. 1t
may seem somewhat extravagant to
use olive oil for cooking. but If one
will remember that In its price is in
cluded the doctor and the chemists

it on the grounds that it will increase
the amount of taxes to be paid, but not
affording the county any more money
to be expended on the roads than is
being spent now, because
they fear that the money
appropriated from the general
revenue every year for road purposes
would be shut off and appropriated for
other purposes, leaving the county
roads no more money than they are
getting now while the tax burden
would be increased.
In the city of Pine Bluff the senti
ment for a road tax seems to be much
stronger than in the country because
if the tax carries it means a nice sum
OF money annually to be spent on the
streets, as the city gets its portion of
the taxes collected which would GER
tainly be OF great advantage to the
city. However the Graphic does not
pretend to be we'll enough informed
as to the sentiment for or against the
tax as to warrant it in making an at
tempt TO say whether or not the tax
will carry at the election next Mon
day.
1t is a matter for the individual vot
er to carefully consider for himself
and then cast his vote accordingly.
On account OF the street funds it
would afford Pine Bluff, the Graphic
would like to see the road proposition
win, but not if it is going to increase
tiie tax burdens of every country tax
payer without any increase in benefits.
