There is no doubt that he brought an His speeches are full of it. MT. Lodge Is not a very tolerant man. He has no very high opinion of anybody who disagrees with himself. He has high ideas. but he does not have much respect for anothers ideals. But the thing that Lodge hates most of all things Is ignor- ance He has had to do with a good deal of that stuff. When he was in the House it was good as a play to watch Lodge, when Rising Sun Morse. or the unspeakable Pickler was making a speech. If we could get his opinion of Cullom's speech the other day, and interlard it with what Boss Larrimer thinks of that same speech, 1t would be worth publish ing.
 MT. Lodge is to present the American case ip that boundary dispute. It will be very eloquent production, and he is cer- tain to regard it as conclusive and will not leave England and Canada a peg to stand on; but if he gets the verdict most folks will be 'astonished. and the verdict is very important thing in law suit.
 Henry Cabot Lodge Is an able and scholarly man, and the aristocrat of the Senate. He does his level best to help his country in the journey of life, and thought he was doing good when he pass ed his force bill through the Fifty-first Congress. He is not going to do any thing like that again. You don't have to knock Cabot Lodge down but once to enable him to take a hint. If he lived on the west side of the Allegheny Mountains he would not be a Senator! He Is not handshaker

Cripple Creek Correspondent Says
General Strike is Inevitable.
Governor interviewed Many Employees of the
Standard Mill and Found no Dis
satisfaction Among Them

Colorado Springs, March 12-Gov-
ernor James H. Peabody spent yester-
day and last night in Colorado
Springs. Al Colorado City he held
an interview with Mayor Faulkner
and City Marshal Birdsall, during
which the strike was discussed from
the standpoint of the city officials.
Colonel James II. Brown made state
ment of the conditions leading to the
picketing of the strikers headquarters,
and the governor upheld his action
in so doing in the face of threats that
had been made and violations of the
peace.
Until 8 O'Clock in the evening the
governor, with an escort of military,
drove from mill to mill, interviewing
personally the employees and asking
each if he should appoint a board of
arbitration, what matter would they
lay before it.
The governor did not meet the mill
owners
Before dinner he was in conference
with President Meyer of the Western
Federation of Miners and President
Edwards of the executive board of the
Millmen's union. The strike and the
causes leading to it from the stand
point of the millmen was thoroughly
gone into.
AT $50 O'Clock public reception
was held at the Antlers hotel. D. V.

Trouble at Local Camps.

There is something doing in the
coal mining circles Of this western
being heard
1t will he remembered that last
summer John L. Gehr, district organ
izer of this district and James W.
Graham, secretary of the Coal Greek
local union, were called east for a
conference with John Mitchell.
president of the United Mine Workers
of America.
1t is understood that at that time
Messrs Gehr and Mitchell advised a
thorough campaign of this district
which consists OF Wyoming, Utah,
Colorado and New Mexico. They re-
ported that the union was losing
ground, and that it must be strength
ened.
Accordingly it has been decided to
expend from $50, 900 to $75, 900 in the
campaign which will be conducted by
President Mitchell himself assisted by
a corps of experienced oganizers.
Gehr and local organizer Howells
OF Coal Greek are now at Trinidad in
connection with the strike at the
Primrose mine, and at the same time
they are working to strengthen the
organization.
several grievances which will be taken
up after the organizations have been
strengthened. They claim that they
are not being accorded full weights
that the company store is hold-up
proposition. and they will also take
up the matter of the non union black
labor at the Chandler and other prop
critics in the district.
AS matter of fact elaborate prepa-
rations are evidently being made for a
general strike of all the coal miners
in this western district.
II has formerly been the custom of
the @. f. and L.. company to pay at
the local camps on or about the 9Th of
the month for the month preceding.
This month. however, the miners have
received notice that they will not re-
ceive their pay checks until after the
Goth.
For some time past the miners have
avoided. trading at the company Is
store as much as possible, and they
now believe that this postponement of
wages is made for the specific purpose
of forcing the men to 40 to the store
and calling for scrip
Several OF the miners are not work
ing today but are going through the
mines advocating u strike. With
WI at encouragement they are meet
ing, or what the result will be is not
known at this time.

we are assured that no effort will be

better now than when the plant was

on good authority that enough ore

Fountain Pen Perfection.
The Quaker City SeIf-FiIling Foun-
tain Pen Fills Itself and Thereby
Fills a Long-felt Want.

Any reliable time saver is eagerly welcomed by
the modern business man. Probably the most
forceu lustrat ion of this cond iton OF things in
recent years was the enthusiasm with which the
fountain pen was greeted. 1t seemed to mean
the saving of so much time and annoyance for
many people that its sale simply phenomenal.
But the fountain pen was not by any means
perfect and its discovered that the
bother was only concentrated, instead of being
dispensed with. The finest fountain pen would
write ndifferent1y we'll as long there was ink
in it but, when that gave out our busy man had
to stop, unscrew an inky cap, hunt around for
filler and the particular ink recommended by the
manufacturers of that particular pen and
so on tfrou gh long process of annoyance.
The manufacturers of the Quaker City Self
Filling Fountain Pen have overcome all this and
produced PRACTICAL writing tool which is easy
to use as if one were simply using the filter needed
for the old pen. There is nothing to unscrew,
nothing to squirt, nothing to lose get out Of
order. Its construction is simple and substantial
and the operation of filing it simple that you
wonder nobody thought of it before.
1t is merly necessary to dip the pen pressing it
slightly, lift up as usual and go on waiting. Its
capacity is no less than the bothersome kind.
We feel that not over-praising the
Quaker City Self-Filling Fountain Pen when we
say that it represents the acme of Fountain pen
achievement.

A Merry Christmas

To you all, and we trust that each
of you will make it very merry indeed,
not only for yourselves, but for every.
one around you, including father and
mother, sons and daughters, brothers
and sisters, aunts, cousins, neighbors,
friends, everybody, even the poor and
the homeless, the orphan and the
widow.
Give what you can. 1t may not be
large present, but it will show the
recipiant the feeling that you have
toward him. In fact, it is not the
large presents that denote that the
giver has large heart. 1t is a fad,
a foolish fashion, sometimes that con-
trolls us, and we think that we have
got to do what others do, and that is
well enough if we can afford it, but
remember that little token of Merry
Christmas is often as much to the
recipiant as the greatest and best
that can be given. Dollars and cents,
and presents of gold and silver, of
jewels and precious stones are not all
the presents that can be given.
A kind, gentle and loving word
now and then, softly and gently
spoken will be of more help to some
person >than all the wealth of the
world. So if you can't give present
this Christmas, give kind word to
everyone.
We have little piece of poetry,
which we would like to give to every
one of you, and we would like for
you to read it, and study it, and then
lay it aside to read and study again,
until you know it so thoroughly that
you will heed it's dictates, and be
careful that you speak some word
that will be of benefit to your fellow
men:
A PASSING WORD.
Twas but one word, passing word
Flung thoughtless on the air;
And yet it touched my heart and stirred
A gentle feeling there.
1t woke glad and joyful strain,
That sounded down the aisle
OF many lonely, weary days,
And left them brighter; while
caught an impulse lasting, deep,
From that one spoken thought,
That made ME wiser, and 1 trust
A nober purpose wrought.
Twas but word thoughtless word,
That fell upon my ear;
1t Jared upon my very soul,
And lett it sad and drear.
struggled long and YEARLY
To cast it's sting away,
But still, the impress left behind
bitter memory.
How true it is, each passing word.
However slight it be,
Is waited on, through a ges,
Into eternity.
Yours Truly,
THE E. R. Moses Nero. Co.

Christmas evening is the assurance
of one of the richest treats of the sea-
son. Mr.. Andrews has scored the
hit of his career in it. Every member
of the company is an artist of rep
utation and prominence in the opera
tic field. The new piece, "Birds of a

considered one of the most irresisti-
bly, funny comedies of the seasons
good ones. The musical features
are brilliant and said to be the best,
both from comedy and classic stand
point, ever rendered by this well

A REIMBURSEMENT.

While the price of all printing
material, like most other manufac-
tured products, has materially in
creased, as has also the rates of
wages we have had to pay our
printers, the rates OF advertising we
have charged for the past ten or
twelve years have remained the same,
whiles the subscription price of the
DEMOCRAT has, within that time, been
reduced from $3.50 to 81 year.
The advertiser is today getting before
over two thousand subscribers for the
same money that he paid for space
when he reached but 500 to 1000
readers, although it costs us over
ehree times the amount of money to
get out the paper that it did then.
We will, therefore, on January 1st,
1904, adopt the following rates for
advertising; and these rates will be
the same to all-position length of
time contracted for being considered:
DISPLAY ADVERTISING.
For first week, at 10 cents per inch,
, nd. to have run of paper-which
means that it is to be placed in such
position as best suits the makeup of
the paper.
For each additional week, without
change of type, at 8 cents an inch.
BY month, at cents an inch. per
. week.
Special position-top of column
next to reading, etc.-at 129 cents
an inch per week.
LOCAL READERS
At 5 cents line per week, where
less than SO lines per week are in
serted. Over so lines, at cents pei
line. All local readers will be placed
with the regular reading matter, ano
set in same size and face of type as
local news items.
These rates are only slight in
crease over the rates heretofore pre-
vailing, and when the advertiser takes
into consideration the increased mum
Der of readers he reaches, and com
pareS the rates with those prevailing
In other Kansas towns, he will
realize that he is still getting, in the
DEMOCRAT, the best advertising fol
theleast money.
At the closing of the busy year o.
1908 we desire to extend our thanks to
the business men of Great Bend who
have availed themselves Of oul
columns to make known to the public
= their business. And we also desire
to express our gratitude to the people
of Barton county who have SC
unanimously placed their names or
