work that they are capable of putting
up a hard played but fast game of basket
ball and they should make good show

Lost Idols.

Friday the officers here received tele-
phone message telling them to find a GER
tain boy who was supposed to be in
Waterford. They found him and the
story of the boy is as follows.
Samuel Cooper, aged 10, and a native
of suburb of New York, had read con-
siderable trashy literature and at first
STAYED out of school, then later forged
his mothers name to his excuse. This
was discovered and the boy turned up
missing Tuesday. His father learned
from the boys chum his sons wherea-
bouts and that the chum had planned to
go with him, but backed out.
Two years ago the parents and this
boy spent their vacation that summer
at Edward Bowman's in Lower Water.
ford and it was to this place the boy
directed his journey. Arriving here he
telephoned the Bowman boy and he
drove here and carried him out to Lower
Waterford. Mr.. Bowman was some
what suspicious OF the boy and tele-
phoned here to the officers that the boy
was going to Montreal and wanted them
to inquire into the matter.
They had already received telephone
from the boys father so Deputy Worthen
and Chief Noyes started for Bowman's
and arriving there found that the boy
had left, but it was soon learned that be
had been carried two miles below to the
Whitney farm. There he was found and
persuaded to accompany the officers here,
where the father came from New York
Saturday morning. They both returned
to New York Saturday night.
It seems that when the boy was here
two years ago, that he built and stocked
a camp in the woods near the Bowman
farm and he intended to make this camp
the scene of his adventures during the
coming winter.

THE only indictment which is
brought by A. B. Parker against
the republican party is that it,
the republican party, has wasted
by carelessness the peoples mon
ey.' The party has something to
show for every hundred dollars ii
spent. The party is progressive
it is enterprising; it strikes out in
any new direction where it thinks
something might be done for the
benefit of the country; it believes
in expansion and the American
policy of getting there; in word
it does things. OF course it re-
quires money to do these things,
but the money is afely and profit
ably invested. The country must
transact business along the same
general lines as those pursued by
successful business man. The
money is not squandered at all
not a bit of it. 1t is safely in
vested and each and every citi'
zen is getting his fair share OF the

THE FIGHT
ON ROOSEVELT.

Hints thrown out from time te
time in the past that Wall stree
and the money power of the East
generally is bent on the defear
of President Roosevelt for re
election, are beginning to mater
ialize, and the indications are thai
the proverbial barrel of gold will
be opened up the last few days Of
the campaign in order to influ.
ence wobbly votes in the doubt
full states.
The big corporations of the
East much prefer Parker tc
Roosevelt and will back him with
their enormous wealth. Roose.
welt has been very independent
toward the money bosses and they
have made up their minds to pun
ish him by bringing about his de-
feat at the polls.
The trusts are after him and
have been at work for some time
scheming to bring about his de-
feat. Colorado is regarded as one
of the doubtful states and it be-
hooves the friends of Roosevelt to
be on the lookout.
Roosevelt is the best friend
Colorado ever had in the prcsi-
dental chair and it behooves ev-
erybody to stay with him. His
fight for irrigation was fought
and won after a long siege in
which he was opposed by large

THE utter absurdity Of the
democratic claims of success i'll
Colorado is we'll illustrated by
the claim advanced by the Rocky
Mountain News, the leading
democratic newspaper OF the
state and the organ OF the West
ern Federation of Miners, that
Roosevelt will be defeated
by Parker by 10000 votes. If the
News thought the plurality would
be any larger it would probably
say so. By the same process o.
reasoning it gives Adams a plu-
rality of $4,000 votes. The News
is not betting its hard cash the
way it is figuring for the deal
public. Not much. The New:

PEOPLE who are apt to look
upon President Roosevelt as a
stern military man who delights
in war will be surprised to know
that he has taken the lead among
all the heads of governments Of
the world toward bringing about
a universal peace. Roosevelt is
rational and is a believer in war
only in extreme cases. There
should be peace congress Of the
world that would do away with
wars and settle all matters Of in
ternational dispute by arbitration,
and then if any nation became OBJ
streperous and refused to abide
by the decision of the recognized
oeace commission the rest Of th .
nations could all jump on the
stubborn one and make short

PROSPECTS ARE
LOOKING BETTER.

Unquestionably the outlook fof
better times ahead, barring any
set back on account of the ap-
preaching election, are looking
better and brighter.
Each succeeding week for the
past two months has witnessed
an improvement, and the i'm
provement has not been confined
to any one particular branch Of
industry or business, but is gen
eral throughout the city.
The improvement has kept pace
with the gradual increase of bus
mess at the steel works, for with
out doubt the steel works is
the barometer of business affairs
in this city, and has more to dc
with the kind of times we have
than any other one thing or COM
bination of things.
Men are now finding more
steady employment than for many
months past and are feeling cas-
ier in financial way. They are
paying out on their lots or houses
and making small investments
here and there that will bring
good returns after awhile.
Pueblo can forge still further
to the front in the matter of in
dustry and prosperity, and will
do so if all its citizens unite in a
determination to make it go. Pu-
eblo is strictly all right and has
prospects that would make Chi

He would plead and plead, but in
vain. Pleas to do not appeal to
the agitator reason will not calm
him. In the Couer d Alene dis
trict he resisted democratic au-
thority with the same impudence
as republican officials in Colora-
do. Eventually there would come
a clash between Gov. Adams and
the Federation after the formers
patience is worn out and his good
nature abused. Then Gov. Ad-
ans mailed fist" would hit as
hard and long as Gov. Peabody.
Meantime there would be trou-
Bile, lots of trouble. The horrible
events of recent years would be
re-enacted and duplicated.
And all the mines would shut
down and consequently the mills
and smelters; and likely the steel
works and all industrial plants
and lie idle for years. Money
and work would be scarce; taxes,
expenses and charity charges
high, and business crippled and
investments ruined.
The divided counsel within the
democratic party would palsy
the arm Of their exertion.
Mr.. Adams has a clear mind
and is animated by the purest
and noblest impulses, but unless
he cuts himself entirely loose at
the start from those that elevated
him again and again, he is lost.
Break away? No! The man of
the hour must possess the stern
est qualities, the toughest metal
and have the unhampered back
ing of the most responsible ele-
ment in the state.
DO not let us swap horses

Gov. Peabody has now the mat
ter well in hand. Gov. Peabody
has done things clumsily but he
has tried to enforce the law to
the best of his ability.
To many of us his abilities do
not appear to be of high excel
lence. But probably his severest
critics would have done worse in
his trying position. We must
not be too exacting. We have a
new start again-let we'll enough
alone.
We must rally to the support
OF principles and measures-the
personality Of Mr.. Adams is in
comparison of small considera-
ton, of Mr.. Peabody less.
Peace, prosperity, happiness
and all material interests impera-
lively dictate that we must sup
port the republican nominee.
Soon we will be very, very sorry

) LETTERS AND OPINIONS
Some Reasons Why Gov. Pea
body Should be Reelected.

The faith we received from
the stirring times OF the civil wal
and the violent passions which
that momentous historic drama
bred aud nourished arc gradually
blunted and forgotten, the great
masses and the prominent oppos-
ing parties have, by slow pro-
cess to be sure, freed and eman-
cipated themselves of the bitter
partisan feelings that swayed and
tyrannized over their political ac-
tions and blind prejudice has
more and more lost ground and
political liberality and independ-
ence has gained the ascendancy.
The sanctity of a party ticket to-
day is a hazy recollection to many
voters. There are this campaign
in Colorado thousands of demo-
Gratis absolutely determined to
cast their votes for Gov. Pea
body, and, on the other hand,
thousands of republicans who
prefer Mr.. Adams for governor.
And there are yet thousands of
republicans still undecided what
is best for tehm to do. The bulk
of our people have patriotic mo-
lives alone to guide them in their
choice of men and measures.
Mr.. Adams is certainly an at
tractive candidate. Mr.. Adams
is most essentials fully the equal
of Gov. Peabody.
Mr.. Adams is in many ways
the superior of Gov. James H.
Peabody.
And in Pueblo Mr.. Adams is
Our .neighbor, fellow citizen and
business associate who. has won
and kept our friendship, esteem
and confidence. Mr.. Adams rep
resents the best and decent part
of Colorado democracy. Now
comes his handicap. Mr.. Adams
has to represent much against
his taste and inclination not only
the degenerated democratic forces
but in this campaign that radical
and irresponsible element which
is the great standing menace to
our social and industrial peace
and welfare of Our hard tried
commonwealth.
Mr.. Adams while not weak
or cowardly executive is too good,
too easy and too kindly hearted
in trying and turbulent times.
Mr.. Adams would say to the
Western Federation agitators Il
"See here boys, you must behave
