Election i'm Colorado.

1t is now shown that in one ward
in Denver eight men voted thirty
times each in the last election. They
evidently made a serious effort tc
follow the old injunction about vot-
ing early and often. 1t is further
charged that the democratic election
judges had rubber stamps attached
to their ingure rings and with these
they marked a cross before the name
of the democratic candidate for gov
ernor before the ballot was delivered
to the voter.
Stories of bribery, intimidation
and plain fraud are fast coming tc
light. Meanwhile we wonder where
the influence of lovely woman was

these rates for twenty five years.

Republican Missouri Causes
Shirt Burning.

In a temperature Of thirty degrees
above zero, l.. ID. Myer, a travelling
man who lives in Emporia, Kansas
stripped his shirt from his body and
burned it November "a in the pres
nee of a crowd Of spectators. The
man wore no under garments, but
stood his ground while his shirt was
consumed by the flames.
His action was the result of bet
made with his brother twenty years
ago. He lived in Missouri at that
time and agreed that if the state
ever went republican he would pub
licly burn his shirt from his back.
When the result of the late election
became known he wrote his brother
fixing Thanksgiving as the day on
which the wager should be paid.
News of the peculiar bet spread over
the town and a crowd gathered to
witness its payment. William Allen
White, the author and editor, was
asked to apply the torch to Myers
garment, but he declined.

ConSuls Ordered to Use Full
Titles u. S. of America.

That there may be no misunder-
standing on the subject announce
ment was made at the state depart
ment, December 3, that diplomatic
and consular agents Of this govern.
ment were informed some time ago
that whenever acting in their notar-
ial capacity they should conform to
the language Of the law and use the
title employed in their commissions,
for example consul Of the United
States of America"
For brevity and convenience, how
ever, and also because it is the most
definitive adjective, the use of title
American" instead of United
States" is now employed on official
letter heads and cards and when
ever these agents are not acting in
some notarial capacity.
These facts have been recited in
the formal replies to letters reaching
the state department from time to
time, from persons not acquainted
with the facts.

thanks to President Roosevelt fol
his visit to their exhibits at the

This admiration for jefferson Davis,

Mr.. Francis, who sent the tele-
grams personally to all the poten-
tates communicated with in Europe

says he thinks vardaman was joking.
Possibly this is the view which 9th
ers will take. Some of the people
OF his own state, however, whose
reputation Vardaman's ILL., hammered
response has assailed, have protested
against it, in kilograms sent to Mr..
Francis and through the columns of
the leading newspapers of the state.
II is unfortunate for Mississippi to
be saddled with such a boor at Var
daman as its chief executive, but
unhappily for the states people, he
has more than three years yet to
serve.

A Catholic View of Roosevelt,

Msgr. Placide Chapelle, arch
bishop of New Orleans and apostolic
delegate to Cuba and Porto Rico,
returned recently after a two
months visit to Rome.
"I've been away for more than
two months and I'm glad to get
back" said the archbishop, as he
stepped to the pier. "Most Of the
time was away l spent in Rome,
the other few days in travelling.
The pope received me ~graciously
and we talked several times on con-
ditions here, in Cuba and Porto
Rico, where my work has been called
to the attention of his holiness,
who spoke Of it and complimented
me highly for what / had done.
Il bear with me on my return a
message to the president from the
Pope Plus. He is delighted with
my description of Mr.. Roosevelt and
he made me the bearer of a message
of kindness and good fellowship"
Asked what he said regarding the
president, Msgr. Chapplle answered:
Il described him as a man OF
honor, integrity and good intentions
regarding the Philippines. I said
that under his administration the
islands with which l was for a time
associated, would rapidly progress
in every branch of industry and
education"

with Mr.. Roosevelt's election ?"

myself, however, I am personally

ne has had the opportunity to
develop a few varieties Of caddish-
ness which they did not suspect
when they placed him in the govern.
or's chair.
Vardaman, however, displayed
enough kinds of blackguardism dur
ing his canvass for governor to show
the people of his state that he was
not the sort of person that an
enlightened community like Missis-
sippi ought to select for their chief
magistrate.
The people of Mississippi whose
feelings are outraged by this fresh
outburst of vulgarity on the part of
their executive have the sympathy of
their countrymen throughout the
United States. But neither the
president mol the American people
in general will be surprised by this
eruption OF clownishness and malice
from vardaman. 1t is just what
president and people had a right to
expect from that source.
