THE MEN TO ELECT
THIS COMING TUESDAY


The city election is virtually only
two days on. Before another issue of
The Herald we believe about every
voter will have his or her mind made
up how they are going to vote We
don't believe this Is the case at the
present time. True, many have prac
tically decided upon their favorites,
but many have been studying the sit
uation and will give the question con
siderable thought between this and
Monday. and to this class especially
The Herald desires to appeal to. We
want them 10 go over the list of can
didates on the two tickets very care
fully. We want them To compare
nominee for nominee, and when doing
this look at conditions as they exist
at The present time and as they have
existed in the past
In the first place II is well known
that Rcpublcanism in Colorado is
looked upon in the east as worthy of
consideraiion-that our people are ad-
yancng along the lines of progress
sive ideas and that investments are
safe. AS we have said before Repub-
licanism means something stability
and business, This being the case the
next thing to be considered is: Are
the nominees of the party honest, con
servative men who can be relied on
to do their duty to themselves and
the people they serye2 Are they the
equal of their opponents in the bnsi-
ness and social world2 In answer we
can truthfully say this. and in several
instances the business record is su-
perior and guarantee of good ser
vice to the city If elected.

City Attorney.

The Herald recounted at some
length the other day why the voters OF
Durango should elect W. c. Davidson
city attorney. There is no getting
around the question but that the in
terests Of Durango, the interests OF
every taxpayer and the interests OF
every well-wisher of the city demand
his election and we firmly believe that
Captain Davidson viii be victorious.
Legally and in every other way he is
the only one to vote for. Consider
this carefully. voters You may moi
think 1t matters much who serves the
city as attorney. 1t matters very
much from a financial point OF view,
Therefore. remember our old citizen
and comrade, w. c. Davidson, next

II is not necessary to dwell long
upon Mr. w. II. La Count. He has
been a citizen OF Durango since the

who assisted in giving Durango proml-

FIVE years he has served as city treas

GIRL PROBLEM.
Both Girls and Boys IN the
Country Today Sadly Lack
ing Parental Guidance
and Restraint.

1t may not be so, but it seems
that ever since Warden Soffels
wife let the Biddle boys out of the
Allegheny county Jail, our girls
have been getting into some scrape
or other. On a single newspaper
page before us. we read that sher-
ifs daughter down at Oneota, Ala,
freed two convicts and disappeared
herself; that society belle at Mari
eta, o., has been arrested for pos
tai frauds; that a young woman of
Trenton, n. j., married a convict
the moment his term expired; that
a young society lady married her
fathers ooachman, who was arrest
ed recently for burglary, have dis-
appeared; that a New York girl
working in a cigar factory. stole
cigars and hid them in her bloom
ers that her lover might have a
weed to his taste; and that a Brook
Ign girl of Is, who disobeyed her
father and frequented public dance
halls, was publicly spanked by her
outraged father. 1t might have
been better for all these girls if
they had had fathers like the
Brooklyn girls.
The fact is, both girls and boys
in this country are today sadly
lacking parental guidance end re-
straint. American children are
permitted degree of freedom the
moment they can "go it alone"
that their English cousins know
nothing about. American girls
are regarded with curiosity in most
of Europe because of dis
regard of conventionslities, as we'll
as because of their independence
and intelligence, of late years they
have been indulging their spirit of
freedom to an extent that they too
may yet be accused of sowing
wild oats." Their emulation in
this direction is certainly startling.
A page which yields so many items
as the above ought to set parents
TO thinking IL they think in the
right direction they may find some
things to remedy in their homes,
in the public schools, in social
life. Our girls must be protected
At any cost if our boasted institu.
ions shall stand.

The Army Canteen

Greatly contributed to the
happiness of the troops. Tue best
index of their contentment can be
found in the rate of desertions,
since it is obvious that the soldier
who is we'll satisfied with this LOT
will not endeavor to escape from
his military obligations. The de-
sertions from the regular army in
1888 80 aveaged IL per cent. In Is
81, after the canteen had been run
ming for eight years, it fell to 2 per
cent.
The influence of the canteen in
promoting order and contentment
is less directly, though none the
less positively, shown by the
number of the soldiers making
savings deposits with the army

coming of human lives in to this

The difference in the trend of

Instructive, or even pleasant, you
