which tho state administrations may
bo Justly hold responsible for. is tho
general incidental fund. Practically all
OF tho other expenditures arc fixed by
tho Legislature.
Thomas administration. 100000
orman administration. 3:9.500.o0
Peabody administration. o0,313.09
The scandalous and illegal manncr In
which Governor Orman disbursed tho
enormous Incidental fund allowed him
by tho Legislature Is n matter OF his
tory.
But the Democrats decline to discuss
the Orman administration. In fact. they
are ashamed of It. and prefer to go
back to tho Adams administration of
seven years ago.
And they can only make a rcspectn-
bio showing in the cost OF the Adams
term by Juggling the figures and mis-
stating facts.
It will be noted from the above that
Mr.. Adams had $4,000 in the inciden-
tai fund and that Mr.. Peabody had
39o.313. Mr.. Adams's incidental FUND
cost the people II cents per capita,
while that OF Governor Peabody cost
the people but IA cents per capita, not
withstanding the Increase in the de-
partments by the Legislature.
Any Just and fair way in which tho
figures may be taken will show that
the Peabody administration has been
both business-like and economical and
entirely FREQ from extravaganza or
scandal.

FOR GOOD ROADS
PLEA OF DOCTOR o. H. DoueAn.

'.As q result OF these roads there are
thousands and thousands OF tourists In

to spend moncy-and do. II We had
such o system Of roads In Colorado II

In this state every year. ] believe that

All the gold in America-the great

uros of Senator Patterson.
Appropriated.
The following statement OF appro-
printions for the Legislative. judicial.
and executive departments for tho last
four administrations. together with tho
deficits OF the Democratic administra-
tions. will be of interest:
Appropriated. Deficit.
Gov. Adams ....S s55.442.S6 s161.:eo.71
Gov. Thomas :. s34.69s.75 1o3.s35.3s
Gov. orman..... 1.2e7.l3s.ao 143.oiG.13
Gov. Peabody. 9so.ls5.77 ..........
Each Of the three Democratic admin
istrations has had n deficit In the op-
Grating expenses of the state govern
mcnt.
The present administration has about
100000 on hand. or this 100000 will
be used to redeem bonds at the end of
the biennial period. leaving very
comfortable balance on hand in the
state treasury on January LIST.
In order that no misunderstanding
may occur regarding the responsibility
for the above expenditures, It is fair
to say that very largo portion of
these appropriations were used to pay
the salaries Of state officials and em-
ployes and for other purposes specified
by law for which the State Assembly
alone is responsible.
However. II 1t is desired to use these
figures. in order to compare the vari-
Gus administrations. 1t will be noted
that they are very much in favor of
the present administration.
The per cnpita basis is perhaps the
fairest way to show n comparison be-
tween the Peabody and the last Adams
administration.
Tho population. wealth and business
of the state have very much Increased
since Governor Adams assumed office.
Some new departments have been
added by the Legislature. and others
have been very much enlarged by law.
This would naturally Increase the op-
Grating expenses of the state govern
ment.
The appropriations for the executive.
legislative and judicial departments
for the Adams administration were
s1.99 per capita. while those for the
Peabody administration were but $l.53
per capita.

A very small portion OF this money
was disbursed at the discretion OF
these governors, for the reason that
the expenditure of practically all of 1t
is specifically authorized and ordered
by law, and therefore the responsible
ity FOE such expenses is not upon the
administrations, but upon the Legisla-
tvre. The State Legislature has been

INSTITUTE THOUGHTS.

Education a Power for Good-The In
stitute an Incentive to Teachers.
Last week was a great week not
in military display, but great in the
manifestation of power more won
derful than sword or cannon.
| have attended educational meet
ings in New York, Virginia and Ohio.
but the institute AT Oakland was one
of the best in its adaptation | ever
attended.
Who made it possible for us to
emerge from the barren waste of sloth
and inactivity into the beautiful oasis
of classic life and real joy: Someone
worked up the interest and arranged
the program; somebody searched
long and well for men of ability to in
struct us, and we do not hesitate to
say that he found and secured some
of the best talent in the greatest ma
ton on earth.
But the institute is past and we
teachers have resumed our respective
duties, and as we re-enter the school
room | believe we come with renewed
courage to grapple with school room
problems, with better plans to execute
the daily program, and, above all
else, | trust we come with that life
and system by which we may hope to
inspire the boys and girls in our care
to nobler efforts in the classes and
thus lift them into higher ideals of
education.
Fellow-teachers, we have been, as it
were, on Nebos Heights for one
weeks bringing from the fountain of
liberty and education, now let us
with tactful hand deal it out skill
fully to the little ones. The children
in our schools must get the benefit of
the institute or else we ourselves are
a failure.
For FIVE days we have stood face tC
face to the great orb of educational
light. Let us now reflect it with a
growing warmth upon the young
minds entrusted to us.
| believe it was DR.. Bartlett who
said: The institute will be success
when the teachers return to their
schools and there reduce to practice
what they have learned"
