Why Don't They Vote.

Why Is it that so many registered
voters do not cast their ballots on
election day, rs question often asked
at the close Of every political contest.
A small per cent is prevented by
sickness, pressing business, or ab-
sence from home, but to think that
during an exciting national, state and
local election, over thirty per cent Of
those who could vote, did not, is a
matter that is surprising to u large
number of citizens. Yet such WAS
the case in Weld county. The regis
tration books In Greeley and other
precincts In Weld county show a
total registration Of II, ,5e9 votes, yet
but 1874 Of these cast their ballots.
No wonder that corrupt political
machines are built up and rascally
bosses are allowed to rule and indtf-
ferent, II not incapable men are nom-
mated for responsible positions, when
nearly one-third Of Weld county's
electors failed to exercise their right
of franchise. For 1t Is safe to say
that not that number of citizens were
sick, or absent from home November
8. For it is from the stay-at-home
and careless voters that political
bosslsm gets its strongest support

city circulator Of the Times his face
was familiar In nearly every home
and every business house in the city
and he will be missed by all.
"As an employee there was none
more faithful In the discharge Of
duty. Honest and conscientious in
his work, his services were Of great
value. Absolutely reliable he was
willing at any time to advance
the interests of those with whom he
was associated in either a business
way or as friend. Probably no man
in Leavenworth had greater circle
of friends and acquaintances and
none will be moresinoerely mourned."

spent over $40, 600 in making the race
and that 1t all went for newspaper
advertising. Here is food for refiec-
ton for the politicians and the would
bes all over the country. The news
papers have made Douglas, the cob
bier, a millionaire and now they
have made him governor OF Massa-

stock correspondent says, under
date of Monday December 9th:
.sThere was n very good run of range
cattle here last week, but the supply
dropped down today to less than
half rs many of this kind us last
Monday. The market got stronger
all last week, closing at it's best. The
gain on killing steers was not very
much, and sales ranged rom $500 to
$4.05, with one or two sales of extra
heavy mountain steers above this.
Most Of the Colorado killing steers
sold at $3.50 to $3.50. Stockers and
feeds gained 10 to 10 cents last week
and are strong to ten cents higher
today. Range stockers sold Mt $2.75
