ADVERTISING THE DISTRICT.

1t is undoubtedly true that during the
past year Idaho Springs has received a
larger amount of good, healthy advertising
than she ever did before in her history.
The mining interests have received favor
able mention in every mining newspaper in
the world and by this means attention has
been attracted to the district This is what
counts. No matter what the resources and
possibilities of section might be unless the
people were advised of what they really
were there would be no chance to attract
capital
Idaho Springs two newspapers have ac-
complshed more than any other factors to
bring her to the front and yet you will hear
people condemning the papers. When they
toll week in and week out to make the
holdings and the property of every citizen
more valuable they are often condemned for
it.
Condemnation will make no difference,
however, for it is the duty of a newspaper
to present the possibilities of the section it
represents to the public. 1t is the duty of
a newspaper to stand up for the rights of
all the people. 1t cannot take into con-
sideration the rights of any special few.
1t must represent the entire community.
The people can aid the newspapers in
their fight for publicity for the district.
They can aid, not in financial way alone,
but by furnishing the papers with all the
legitimate news possible. This they should
do. Every citizen should do his part

THE OIL BUSINESS BUGABOO.

We are in receipt of letter from a we'll
known mining man, who is now travelling
in the East. In this letter he says:
''Siftings was right eighteen months ago
when it pointed out that the abatement of
the oil fever and the wrecked and afflicted
constitutions it would leave and would en-
dear the mining investment to the public
l notice that those who passed up mining
and went after oil stocks still have the
stocks but have no proof that oil ever ex-
listed within mile of where it was claimed
it existed"
The same party states that he finds it
easy to dispose of stock in a mining prop
osition where it can be proven that the
people have some show who invest their
cash.
For some reason the average investor is
beguiled into placing his cash in question
able proposition just because it promises
everything in the world. The time will
come, we believe, when a mining invest
ment will appear differently to the people
of the East. They will realize that good
AAlSeillo hlOHCy W llGllI Dul That
if the investment is what some of wildcats
claim it is these same people could obtain
all the cash they needed right at home
In other words if a man has a shipping
proposition upon which he is making great
big money it is foolish to presume that he
would be desirous of selling stock and get
ting it out so that it would cut in on his
dividends.
If he has such proposition and needs a
little money he can borrow it at his own
home bank. 1t is the prospect with the
element of risk that should sell stock-the
proposition that needs little cash from a
great many sources to develop it. This
is reasonable and the sooner the people of
the east begin to reason out these things
the better it will be for them as investors
and for the great mining industry.

THE PROPHET OF ILL OMEN.

It is interesting to note some of the state
papers and read an occasional article written
by some citizen where everything and every
body is taken to task. In other words
every town and city appears TO have its
croakers who enjoy the task of tearing
down. They have their little baby griev-
ances that theyiwant to air through the col
umns of newspaper and where they cam
not air them in this manner they stand on
the street corners and give vent to the dis
NAL howls.
This weeks Siftings received commun-
ication for publication in which not less
than half dozen business enterprises in
the city and district were attacked. The
man who wrote it was too cowardly to sign
his name to it. We wish we had the name
we would publish the article and then we
would publish some comment in connection
with it that would show the man who wrote
it where he belonged.
Any man who, to vent some personal
grievance, will attempt to tear down where
Others have built, or attempting to build, is
i'll the list of those opposed to progress.
The man who employees any position of ad-
vantage he may have to knock" something
i'll which some one else is interested whom
he does not like is not a good citizen for a
city or for a district. We have a few of
them here but we can thank the good Lord
that it is few.
These people should be picked out and
marked by every citizen who has the inter
est of the city and district at heart The
time will come when their chickens will
come home to roost, but this time should be
hastened as rapidly as possible.
The man who helps to make a town or
city is the man who helps his neighbor along
Not the small, narrow-minded ape who will
destroy an enterprise to "get even'' with
some individual connected with it.
Siftings has proof in one or two instances
where the most violent character of knock
ing has been indulged in. The men guilty
of the act shouldsb be ashamed of themselves
and some of these days we will, not for any
purpose to get even for it is matter that
does not concern the paper in the least, pub
lish these communications just to show how
much of nit man can be.

party and nothing worse than such con-
dition of affairs in government could be i'm
agined.
The proper theory is to think as you
and then be broad enough 10 accord every
other man that right There was time in
Colorado when the people did not accord
that right but that time has passed. 1t
could not exist long under the broad Amer
ican form of government.
Clear Creek county has good, fighting
representatives on both sides of the political
fence and the people should feel proud of
them. We want no warts and inanimate
things in the legislature.

CLEAR CREEK IS REPRESENTED.

Putting away all politics and partisanship
it is pleasure to note that Clear Creek
county is represented at the state capitol
Last week one of the front pages of a Den
yer newspaper contained a caricature of
Lieutenant Governor Haggott, of Senator
Roberts and of Representative Kneisel
People cannot always agree politically but
they can..agree on the proposition that it is
a good thing to have old Clear Creek again
take her place among the counties of the
state as one where men of action are inter
ested.
The world does not like the man who
does nothing. 1t prefers the man who acts
all the time and is right half of the time to
the one who does not act at all The world
does not like the man who shirks his res
possibility to his party or to the
people.
1t likes the man who takes a stand one
way or the other and then fights like good
soldier for the cause he has espoused.
People cannot always agree politically
If they did there would be but one political

MIR. WELLINGTON Talks

A dispatch from Cumberland, Md. dated
October Bird, gives the following: "The bet
ter element of the Republicans in Maryland
have had enough of McComas," said former
United States Senator Wellington to day
while seated in his office in the Citizens
National Bank, OF which he Is president.
de made this remark during an interview
on the Gubernatorial situation, and used 1t
as preface, which was followed by pre-.
LECTION that Mr.. Williams will be defeated
This will happen" said the Senator,
"Mr. Warfeld will be elected Governor oil
Maryland beyond doubt. He will have
large majority, too"
When asked what causes had induced
him TO predict the defeat OF Mr.. Williams,
ne said
"There are several reasons, any one OF
which is sufficient TO defeat the Republi.
cans. know the people at large are tired
Of McComas. They will settle with him In
The coming election. Mr.. Williams was not
nominated because he was wanted by the
people, but because McComas pushed him
TO the front. Men receiving such nomina-
tons should be defeated. Personally, Mr..
Williams lie fine gentleman. He is above
reproach. 1t so happens that he is in bad
company in this fight Had the Repubi-
cans nominated man to represent the en-.
tire party in the Gubernatorlal fight, l be.
lieve he would have had fair chance OF
success"

OF Somerset county going Democratic this
fall he would be candidate for United States
Senator, said; II am not In the field for the

Concerning the charges that the Demo.

II notice the usual charge is being made
by the Republicans that the Democrats are
getting up independent Republican tickets
in certain counties Of the State to trick the
ballot, and Somerset is included in the list
of counties against which this accusation is
being made. When was last in the county

EVERY day, up to the time left home for
the Mt. Airy meeting, one could hear rumors
that certain dissatisfied Republicans were
preparing to fight the regular Republican
ticket by making independent nominations.
The men who were said TO be behind the
movement were well.known Republicans
and some of them had been candidates be-
fore the regular Republican county conven
ton. 1t is simply puerile to charge that
these movements are due to Democratic
efforts"

A labored effort is made in the advertising
columns of the Baltimore papers to brand
Mr.. Warfield as the selection OF the Demo
cratic machine" but the writer almost in
the same breath admits that the nominee
had 80 much the mastery Of the situation
himself as to demand" his place on the
ticket. That is the sum and substance of
the argument. The facts In the case are
known OF all men to be that Mr.. Warfield
appealed directly to the people for the nom.
nation and they endorsed him as no other
man has been endorsed 10 this State In re-
cent years. His nomination followed as a
matter OF course, for any other selection was
out OF the question and not to be thought OF,
although as is well known, he was opposed
to the last by certain influential Democrats.
Voters liked the manly independence that
was shown by Mr.. Wartield on more than
one occasion and they stood by him then as
they are standing by him now in the cam.
paign. On the other hand it should not be
forgotten that for the distinguished gentle
man who is leading the opposition there
was no special appeal to anybody, the chief
reliance for support being upon a horde Of
dumb driven blacks marched to the polls
and voted by their political masters.

night at late hour. They came from

on the race question.
The two Senators, the former a Demo-

debating about the country on the race
question for several months. In all they
have spoken at six places, namely: Madi-

They will depart to-day for Wathena,

takes stand against negro suffrage, de-
clares that he has had nothing but ap-
plause all along the lins for his views. In
answer to a question as TO whether the peo-
pie of the North took kindly to his Views
upon teh negro question, he said:

, sport served to the fans since the dog days
set in.
The only unpleasant feature of the game
was that Cincinnati won by score of 6
to 3.
Fast fielding, sensational hitting and clever
pitching were on tap throughout, and the
fans went away well Toasted with the good
things of baseball. Brown and Hahn each
had seven strike-outs to their credit.
Noodles" Hahn, C!ncinnati's premier hill
top artist, worked for the Reds Some
fans thought that Brown also worked for
the Cincinnati team, but a glance at the
score board would have convinced them of
their error.
Failure of the locals to hit at opportune
times had much to do with the loss of the
game. At that the locals managed to tear
off ten hits, but many of these only went
to fatten batting averages.
In two Instances any one of these ten hits
would have put the Cardinals in the hunt.
In the fourth inning with Brain and Bar
clay occupying the cushions, Jimmy Burke
assaulted the atmosphere with intent to kill
the ball, but Judge o'Day exonerated him
on the charge of assault, filming him three
strikes for conduct unbecoming a hail
