This incentive to frugality was so
highly appreciated that the $50 ac-
counts were opened within six days,
and the amount of the liberal gift was
thus early exhausted while applica-
tions continued to pour in, each desir-
ing to open an account under the con-
ditions stated In the communication.
At special meeting of the board of
directors of the Fidelity Savings AS
sociation 1t was decided to emulate the
noble example of the donor of the
5000 by contributing 5000 on the same
terms and conditions; adding. how
ever. that deposits must average 81
or more per month. but restricting the
applications to out-of-town depositors.
Three hundred of our readers are
therefore offered the same opportunity
an opportunity of receiving so as an
absolute gift.
1t Is to encourage banking by mail
that this liberal offer was decided
upon.
The Fidelity Savings Association Is
one of Denver's most substantial in
stitutions. The growth of this asso-
citation may be judged by the follow
ing figures.
In 1890 the assets of the Fidelity
Savings Association were s9,142.74. In
1902 the assets had grown to 81 ,437-
10S.49.
As the offer is limited to 300 new
depositors throughout Colorado. Wyo-
ming and neighboring states, our citi-
zens will have to get up and hustle
to get their share of this 5000.
Banking by mail is becoming quite
a feature with the Fidelity Savings
Association of Denver which pays five
per cent. on savings deposits, interest
compounded semi-annually.

was false, and II 1; was true It could
not affect the United States senate pc.
litically. as IL would only make 80 dem
ocratic senators against 81 republican
senators. The second reason Is the
jealousy of New England of the grow
ing power of the west. That Is deep
rooted. Only one senator, Gallinger,
of New Hampshire. had the courage
to support the statehood measure and
live up TO the party promises of the
republican party, and he deserves all
credit for his manly position. The
third reason, and the one that really
killed the measure In this last con-
gress. Is the jealousy of power OF re-
publican senators in that body. There
are 81 republican senators, 29 of these
rule all party caucuses, and hence
govern the nation. The remaining rs
republican senators belong to the re-
publican senatorial kindergarten. IL
only two of the new senators should he
republican and should vote with the
present minority of 20, II would make
them the bosses Of the senate and the
nation, and thus reiegate the present
bosses to the background. This last
reason is the true one for our present
defeat. We were not defeated by the
senators who made the speeches
against us. They were the mere cats
paws Of five or six others.
ITO the people and the press OF New
Mexico for the splendid support given
myself and the many other good
friends of statehood, | return my sim
| cerest thanks, and assure them that
the statehood bill is only delayed. not
defeated. Personally all can say is
to make the remark | made coming
down on the train last night and that
is to call attention to the history of the
cowboy who was killed in fight that
arose at roundup. His admiring
friends put this inscription ON his
tombstone: He did his damnedest.
