SHE FOOLED Them
A Political Committee and an
Unexpected Woman Reporter.

Ellis Meredith, the author of Heart
of My Heart" is one of the best known
political writer's of the West. Recent
ly. in Colorado gubernatorial cam
paign she was commissioned by Dem
YER paper to write interviews with
the leading candidates. With her
first candidate she made an appoint
ment by telegraphing what train she
would arrive on, and signing ELLIS
Meredith" Now, there was nothing
in the nome ELLIS Meredith" to keep
the local political committee from ex-
pecting business-like man in Stet-
son hat. So, after preparing smok-
ables and drinkables, they repaired to
the station in body to give him a
proper reception. When, after long
search, they finally located Ellis Me-
redith in the person of a small, de-
mure, seft-voiced lady, they made
very sudden changes in their plans
for her entertainment, and employed
the supplies they had gathered for
the expected newspaperman in restor-
ing their own shattered nerves.-Mc-

Woman Or Corn Cure?

A carriage containing pretty wo-
man guitar picker, corn salve, electric
belts and the man whose voice could
be heard clear down to the court
house voicing out his wares, were the
means of drawing quite crowd Mon
day night on Northern avenue.
The wares being voiced out and
sold were not what caused such a
crowd to assemble, especially the
male portion and there were not over
three female individuals among the
crowd. 1t was the pretty woman
careening out melody music on the
guitar. She undoubtedly has some
talent as guitar picker, but it does
not look pepper to see only one wo-
man among crowd Of hundred
men perched upon carriage trying
to induce the crowd to spend their
coin for corn salve, etc. when without
doubt, she knew the wares were not
the attraction, but herself alone was.
and she was not for sale. Anyhow,
"Just to try it," a few boxes Of corn
salve were sold to those whose corns
would not yield to cythe and mostly
out of sheer pity for the man and his
voice. SILENT ONLooKER.

LETTERS AND OPINIONS
From An Optimistic Viewpoint.
grounds.


EDITOR INDICATOR
have been an interested and ad-
miring observer of the faithful and
fearless fight instituted and carried
forward by your paper for public i'm
provements in Bessemer, and wish to
congratulate you upon the success al
ready attained and upon the seeming
certainty of success in the projects
now under way.
Strange it is that the necessity has
arisen for the prolonged effort to se-
cure improvements which will add 80
largely to the beauty and convenience
of our city, and stranger still that the
strenuous opposition should come from
people who will be gamers from the
improvements when completed. But
it is the law of pessimistic ethics and
we should pity while we condemn.
The beautiful postoffice block stands
as monument to the untiring efforts
of the faithful few who laughed at
discouraging circumstances and ac-
counted difficulties but as something
to be surm0unted.
The paving soon to grace the streets
Of Northern and Evans is still more
creditable achievement, and will prove
to be a powerful factor in the up
building Of Bessemer. No city can
hope to advance as it should unless it
paves the way for industrial and COM
mercial growth by pushing forward
public conveniences.
Not in all this broad land of ours is
there city with grander opportuni-
ties, or brighter prospects than Pu-
eblo. The development Of the few
past years has been phenomenal, yet
it dwindles into significance when we
consider the possibilities of the future.
With the expansion of the steel works,
the promise of increased activity at
our smelters, the spreading out and
enlarging Of the railroad systems and
the encouraging prospects of addi-
tional industries the future is surely
roseate.
The only drawback to our growth
is the wailings of the pessimistic crew
who see only the shadows. Is there
no means by which we can bring them
out from their dark retreats and al
low them to bask in the light of truth
and progress? THE OPTMIsT.

JAMES STEVENS
IS SUSPECTED
Police Believe He Knows
Something About Robbery
of the Parrott Mansion
ARRESTED IN THIS CITY
Detectives, After a Long
Search, Satisfied They
Now Have the Right Man

James Stevens, who the police say
is a 'rounder,' was arrested yester-
day by Patrolman Patrick Curry at
the corner of Eighth and Harrison
streets on suspicion OF being the man
who robbed the Parrott mansion in
San Mateo on July 81. Although
Stevens has not yet been formally
charged with the offense the detec-
tive Departments is confident that they
have the right man in custody.
