LET US ALL CELEBRATE.

One hundred and twenty-seven years
ago today a nation yet in it's swaddling
clothes, by its representatives, declared
that all men are equal in the sight of
God. For that event alone, that dedica-
ton to the emancipation from human
slavery of every kind, we of the present
who are realizing the benefits of the best
government on earth have reason to fifty
observe the day-not frivolously but with
a sober appreciation of the efforts of those
who dared to declare and to shed their
blood for principle.
The 4th of July has been an eventful
day in the nations history outside the
signing of the declaration, and it is purely
patriotic that upon its anniversary we take
holiday and give our nerves chance to
catch up.
The problem that confronts many of
our Idaho Springs readers this morning
is, how shall we spend the day? Siftings
would suggest that it will be lofty patriot
ism to visit our loyal friends at the county
seat and help them make this red letter

lege of fre-crackers and fireworks.

Georgetown came down here last year and
enthusiastically stayed with us until every
number on the program had been pulled

they succeeded.
The citizens of Georgetown have not
only an elegant program in readiness for

with paint and necessary repairs, and all
this in the hope and expectation of cordial
cooperation upon our part. 4

ITS IN THE MEDIUM.

The value of publication to an adver-
tiser does not consist in its being printed
but in it's being read by that class of peo-
pie which he wishes to reach. Where
does it go and who reads it is the allim-
portant question. For patent medicine
man to advertise his cure-alls in a Chris
tan Scientist publication would be the
height of folly, yet some advertisers exer-
else no better judgment in the selection of
their medium.
The paper or publication that goes,
week in and week out, month after month,
and year after year, is the one that is a
welcome visitor and is read from cover to
cover, advertisements and ALL There are
people who, when a magazine or journal
is received, read the advertisements first
of all.
In this day and age advertising is a
necessity. The merchants read the adj
vertising pages to post himself upon the
latest things in his line, the doctor, the
lawyer, the farmer, the miner and all other
classes who pretend to be intelligent, are
constant readers of advertisements. Select
the medium that reaches the class of read
ers that you want to read your advertise
ments and stay with that publication.
Don't advertise whiskey in a Sunday
school paper or Bibles in liquor journal,
but use common sense in making your sell
ection, and then stay with it steadily and
persistently, and you will find that your
advertising brings results that will add
materially to your annual profts.-Miner

CIVIC BEAUTY PAYS.

In seeking change of residence or to
locate business the capitalist and mon
eyed home seeker will choose the attrac-
tive town every time, and the ragged,
unsightly, illy-kept town will be passed
by every time. The man who wants to
sell his place cleans it up and puts it in
the best possible condition. The hotel
that secures the best custom, the store
that sells the most goods and at the best
profit, are those that are neat, clean,
handsome and attractive. Just so with a
town. The town that most attracts and
interests visitors and investors is not the
one that does the most business, but the
one that presents fine, modern appear
ance, that has well kept streets, neat and
clean sidewalks, good business blocks, at
tractive residences and lawns. These inn
provements require but little effort and
pay well on the investment.

tages, natural beauty, health giving waters
and scenic attractions to the large number
of Colorado visitors that come every year,

this place could be doubled

Wednesday, and repudiated the oft repeated
story that there was ascension in the
ranks. Faith in the historic policy of pro-

should be regulated and supervised both in
organization and operation, and other
equally sound planks were put in the plat
form, the whole comprising a perfectly
solid structure. Earnest and eloquent
speeches were made eulogistic of President
Roosevelt, liberal quotations from his pub
lie addresses being made, showing plainly
that the Hawkeye republicans stand pat
with the administration.
