CAN THIS Be TRUE?

District Judge F. T. johnson of
Denver is reported by the Times of
that city to have made the following
remarkable statement:
THE courts Of this state have de-
generated. The judiciary il permit
ting itself to be subjected to political
influences. Instead of endeavoring to
correct evils, it is Indifferent and thus
the Judges become practically parties
to the fraud. The great majority Of
the people in Denver look to the
courts for relief. When the courts
do not grant it these people take it
for granted that the rotten condition
Of affairs into which decent citizens
have been plunged is all right. The
courts fail to exercise their duties
upon q high position up and beyond
POLITICAL influences. Heaven knows
when the conditions will pass away"

TO RUN when
IT GETS ORE

More than year ago it was said
by the management that the old Phil
adelphia smelter would be operated
again at full force when enough ore
could be had.
The INDICATOR published such a re-
port at the time and kept the public
fully informed as to the progress
made since then, the starting up of
an ore rosster or furnace occasion
ally, the receipt Of ore and the like.
Now the smelter is running in part,
maybe 100 men being employed, but
no orders have been given for whole
sale opening. The latest advice is
the same as the advice Of year age,
that the plant will reopen gradually
as ore is received, and that not until
plenty Of ere is on hand will the
smslter be run at full blast.

AN interesting feature Of the pro-
posed license or permit ordinance is
that relating to the tax on daily and
weekly newspapers. The proposed
tax on the daily is $25 per annum
while on the weekly it is $40 per an
mum. In soliciting advertisements
the agents of the dailies make the
claim that their papers are at least
seven times better than the weekly,
because they have seven issues to one
Of the weekly, but the authors Of the
tax ordinance apparently do not view
it in that light. Their estimate is that
the daily paper is rated at being only
two and one-half times better than the
weekly newspaper, which is something
worth while remembering. And even
then there are instances where this
estimate is too high. II the tax
license were made along the lines
claimed by the daily press it's tax
would be $40 instead of $25 as against
the $40 license charged up to the
weekly paper.
