The Presidents trip through Colorado
last week left a trail of hoarse throats,
trampled and bruised feet and rumpled
clothes, for each one wished to be the
nearest to, and shout the loudest for, the

Of renewed patriotism plainly shown by
the people Of the country. The visit Of
a president, and a Fourth of July cele-
bration, always tend to raise healthy
enthusiasm and interest in the minds Of
young and old alike.
