Fraudulent Ballots
By The Bushel.

The detailed report OF expert Car
valho upon the frauds practised at the
Denver election in November, 1902,
discloses state of rottenness much
, worse than anyone imagined. 1t shows
that the corruption was more fragrant
and bold than even one familiar with
the average Denver election could have
believed possible.
In at least 80 precincts there was not
even a semblance of an honest ballot
1t appears that one person in each pre-
cinct was designated by the Democratic
machine to do the work, to mark the
ballots in punches in order that suf-
ficient number of them might be placed
in the boxes to bring the majorities up
to the size which the machine thought
necessary to elect its candidates.
In precinct H-2 one person, accord
ing to the expert. wrote the designa-
tions on no less.than 423 Democratic bal
lots and in order to throw committees
and courts of the scent the wordt Re-
publican" was written on five ballots.
In another precinct, Fill, one person
wrote and cast 800 Democratic ballots
and 20 Republican. Tn score or more
of precincts, one individual wrote the
name on from 200 to 800 Democratic
ballots
The whole affair shows condition of
rottenness absolutely unparalleled. For
bad as repeating or fraudulent voting
is, this is worse. for it indicates that
no attempt was made to have the bal
lots cast by individuals. Every person
concerned in this fraud from the high
est to the lowest ought to be placed
in the penitentiary.
No person with any sense of honor
would consent TO hold for moment an
office obtained through such wholesale
corruption and by such an outrageous
assault upon one of the most sacred
rights of American citizenship p-Colo-

A Conspicuous Pub1ic Character.

In the death of Senator Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio,
which occurred at Washington, D. G., last week, of
the conspicuous characters of American public life
has been removed from the stage of human action
The ad vent of Senator Hanna of
national politics something of anomaly and
made under discouraging conditions far his
bton to take prominent part in legislative councils
concerned. Up the time of his election to the
United States senate, little six years ago. Mark
Hanna known only a successful business man,
of the captains of industry and his in
official capacity at Washington looked upon as
something of intrusion by his congressional conrerees,
who seemed regard in business and in
politics necessarily Incompatible.
Mark Hanna, however, demonstrated that such
views fallacous. and actuated by desire make
his friend William Mckinley, president of the United
States, assumed prominent role by introducing
the business methods into the campaign for his
election that had successful in his ercal
ventures at Cleveland, Ohio. Senator Hanna's manage
ment of the Mckinley campaign a masterpiece Of
skill and shrewdness and he proclaimed by his
enemies be the Richard warwick of American politics

A Bargain for Farmers

The New York Tribune Farmer, a
national illustrated agricultural weekly
Of twenty large pages, has no superior
as thoroughly practical and helpful
publication for the farmer and every
member of his family, and the pub
fishers are determined to give it n cir
cul"tion unequalled by any paper Of
it's class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterpri.ing. up
to-date farmer always reads his own
local weekly newspaper. The New York
Tribune Farmer has made an exceed
ingiy liberal arrangement which en-
ahles us to offer the two papers at so
low price that no farmer can afford
to lose the opportunity.
The price of The New York Tribune
Farmer /. 800 year and The Canon

New Book.

The smoothest thing we have seen OF
the kind is Howe's Handbook OF parlia-

The unique feature of this new hand
book is an ingenious visual arrange
ment of the whole subject.matter OF
practical parliamentary law in such
order that when the book is opened in
the middle, the chairman, the speaker
the members who next have the floor,
or any one else, has before his eyes a
complete summary of every rule need
ed in the conduct of any business meet
ing.
With the book opened in the middle,
every leaf (from the top downwardsl is
trimmed shorter than the next leaf. so
that the titles (motions) on twenty-six
pages are visible ut one glance. Each
Of these pages is instantly reached by
simply lifting the title with the index
finger Of either hand. This brings to
view all the rules, exceptions, and quo-
tatioDs bearing on the particular mo-
ton under consideration. The surpris-
ing practicality of this arrangement
and OF the system of cross-reference
used can be fully appreciated only by
actual inspection of the book itself

Our City Water.

The meeting of Taxpayers Monday night showed
very plainly that sentiment is against making any big
expenditure for water system.
The city council and dvisory committee have found
the water question very hard question to settle.
They suggested plan by which gravity system
could be in at expense of from sl2 600 s7 900
but did recommend it,
The sentiment of the meeting principally against
going further with the investigation for and
costly plant
So for the present. this relieves the city council from
further responsibility in the matter.
1t is generally conceded that the city is very
good and the present plant adequa for years
to
The city is a trihe hard but other than that
it is nearer pure than the in majority of
the cities of our land
No physician chemical analysis has
demned it as being impure or other than healthfu.
This being the the thing to do is to drop the
question for the and talk about other
blessings.
1t is no doubt fact that has never hurt
anybody but the talk about how the water is
undoubtedly driven people away from Canon and in
some individual cases perhaps has given people imaginary
ills.
So let's drop the subject.
