OPPORTUNITY SPEAKS

Yes,
l am Opportunity;
But say, young man,
Don't wait for me
To come to you;
You buckle down
To win your crown,
And work with head
And heart and hands,
AS does the man
Who understands
That those who wait
Expecting some reward from fate
Or luck to call it So
Sit always in the ''way-back row"
And yet
You must not let
Me get away when l show up.
The golden cup
Is not for him who stands,
With folded hands
Expecting me
To serve in his inactivity.
l serve the active mind,
The seeing eye
The ready hand
That grasps me passing by,
And takes from me
The good hold
For every spirit
Strong and bold.
He does not wait
On fate
Who seizes me.
For l am fortune,
Luck, and fate,
The corner stone
OF what is great
In mans accomplishment
But am none Of these
To him who does not seize
must be caught
If any good is wrought
Out Of the treasures possess.
Oh, yes,
I'm Opportunity;
I'm great;
I'm sometimes late,
But do not wait
For me:
Work on,
Watch OH,
Good hands, good heart,
And some day you will see
Out of your effort rising
Opportunity.

POLITICAL ODDS AND ENDS

Col. S. A. Abbey is able to be out
again and the political waters will
now become calm.
Pueblo politics will now have to be
shifted around to suit a new emer-
gency. Gust Krenzke has moved in
to town
Fairbanks is said to be man who
seldom jokes. And the convention
that nominated him was in no joking
humor, either.
There is a lull in the scramble for
recognition for Office in both parties
although quite number Of likely ones
are standing out in exposed positions.
1t is disloyal and low down business
to slander the good name of Colorado
in order to manufacture political
capital, for every mans interests are
injured thereby.
1t is hardly necessary to be a
Walcott republican nor yet Peabody
republican. Just republican without
any factional attachments is fairly
good stuff these times

Peabody, wouldn't that be an anomaly
that would jar you?
@ @ @
1t is now up to the slate makers to
find somebody on the republican side
of the house who can run faster than
Peabody. Springer won't do. He is
fated. They ran him for mayor of
Denver and he was beaten; they we're
going to run him for vice president
but changed their minds when the
cowboy yell failed to elicit any ap-
proval, and 20 it would hardly do now
to spring Springer for governor.
That would be crowding things.
Boynton and Newell are talked of and
go are King and Park, but none Of
them as yet seem to be able to shape
their ends. Judge Dixon probably
wouldn't have it and Whit Newton
wouldn't either. Maybe Walcott could
be prevailed on to run. A convention
scrap between Peabody and Wolcott
would be interesting.

The republican state convention
is set for Denver September 18th,
which is not so early considering that
this is presidential campaign year.
The date of democracy's convention
has not vet been decided upon. The
feature of the convention was the
change of front of number of dele
gates who evidently being to think
that Wolcott is not so strong as he
was before the Denver election and
they want to get on the long end Of
the teeter board. A. E. Bent, in par
ticular, the man who introduced the
Boynton resolution in the late state
convention, afforded an exhibition Of
the shallowness and insincerity of
politics when he Topped around in the
committee meeting and led the other
side. Mr.. Bent has had aspire tions
for a state Office for many moons and
has no doubt been promised some
thing, probably the state authorship,
