Good For Adams.

Governor-Elect Adams was inter-
viewed in Denver the other day, and
among other things said:
Il was elected honestly and square
ly and l do not propose to be buncoed
out Of the office" said Mr.. Adams.
"If Governor Peabody starts con-
test he will find that 1 will give him
all the fight he wants. 1 shall al
ways see that the laws are enforced.
Everyone shall receive protection
and all violators of the law-regard-
less of who they are-will be pun
ished. There will be no, ,favorites.
II do not want the inference drawn
that 1 look for trouble, for I do not.
L look forward to two OF the most
peaceful and prosperous years in the
history of-this great state. We will
have peace and prosperity. That is
all ] can see. But II any trouble
should develop intend quelling 1t
promptly-and all sides will be treat
ed alike by me in doing 3d."
"Will you make any recommends
tions TO the legislaturey' was asked.
II shall certainly make some, but
what they are 1 am not prepared to
say. In the next few weeks I intend
looking into every departments and see
what shape they are In. 1 am not
going to do this by way Of criticism,
but If there is anything wrong in any
of them shall let the people know
of it. 1t will then be my duty to
right the wrong. But until find
out just how every department does
stand I will not be In a position to
tell what recommendation l will
make to the Legislature"

The new store room is fitted up in

separates the store room proper from

is large and well arranged for its pur-

How different it is the day before
and the day after. Previous to the
election the Pueblo Chieftain and
other Republican papers were Gu
deavoring to defeat Governor Adams
by picturing the Industrial and busi-
ness depression-the actual collapse
of all enterprises and the withdrawal
of capital along all lines-should
Peabody be defeated. AS soon as it
was ascertained that Governor
Adams was elected, the Chieftain
switched and made the following
editorial statement "Governor
Adams is one of the most
thorough going business men of
the state and few men have larger
investments in Colorado enterprises
than he has, and every business in
terest of the state can count on a
strong and conservative administra-
tion under Governor Adams. Aspen

Business, Harmony and Prosperity

Business, Harmony and Prosperity.
A Denver dispatch says: "Busi-
ness, Harmony, Prosperity" These
are the three words that are foremost
in the minds of every Coloradoan to-
day.
"Let us forget politics and all of its
unsavoryness and take up the duties
of making Colorado greater" is tffe
declaration heard on every hand,
and the country press Is giving voice
to similar sentiments throughout the
state.
Some of our local business men
predicted dire calamity for Colorado
in case Peabody was not elected.
Their predictions have not come
true, nor will they. Under Governor
Adams administration, this great
state will go forward in the path OF
advancement and prosperity as 1t has
never done before.
And THE HERALD predicts that
no community in Colorado. Of its
size, will make better showing along
these lines than Meeker.
Don't wait for the advent of the
new year to begin to push; let's be-
gin now.

Cause Of Lockiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plen-
tifully in street dirt. 1t is inactive
so long as exposed to the air, but
when carried beneath the skin, as in
the wounds caused by percussion caps
or by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded tt. germ is aroused to ac-
tivity and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may be
destroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberiain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the in
jury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises
and like injuries to heal without mat
uration and in one-third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. For
sale by all druggists.

There was never any certainty OF
pause in this seesaw process. Now
Uncle Sam has put down a large loot
hard, and there is a full stop to the
nonsense.
There has been much talk about the
desirability Of peace. The squelch-
ing of Panaman rebels is one of the
few practical moves made in the de-
sired direction. 1t has not been made
in the interests of any faction there.
There is no particular reason for sup
posing one faction to be better than

Vigorous Prosecution.

Oficials Of the Government declare
that the persons guilty Of selling tint
ed wood alcohol as whisky shall be
vigorously prosecuted. These wicked
people have violated the revenue laws.
II they can't be convicted of this. and
perhaps fined, to say nothing of a re-
buKe from the court, then the pure
food regulations will be invoked, and
the Government will show EN-.
All this is very commendable. That
the Government shall get every cent
Of revenue due out OF the liquor BUSH
ness is an excellent thing. The
money can be used TO advantage.
Adulterated drink is also an offense
against decency, and the person guilty
of selling it ought to be Invested Of
the profits However, the Govern
ment is only touching the edge Of the
offending.
Wood alcohol is a poison, known 10
be such. unfit for internal consump-
ton. and the man who would sell IL
as a beverage is either a fool or a de-
liberate assassin. In the first case he
ought TO be In an asylum. In the sec

Those Annual Reports

From this day onward the columns
of the newspapers of the Capital will
give way to the annual reports of
members OF the Cabinet. Every fea-
ture of our Government from the ad-
ministratiOn OF the Indian schools to
the discovery of new fodder bean
will be properly and diligently ex-
plotted. The country will feast on an
intellectual Thanksgiving menu as
crammed with substance and as VOLT
minOus as the whole array of the
classics And when all is done and
the whole has been briefed in the
form of the Presidents message to
Congress, the country will go on it's
way in happy security.
Is it not possible, though, 10 cur
tail the performance? Cannot the
work OF the departments be covered
in epitome? Is 1t needful that these
reports cover the audits, the tabula-
lions, the rules. the exceptions, the
changes in personnel. the shining OF
the sun. the dropping of the gentle
rain from heaven, and the catalogue
Of the stars
Non-literary members of the Pres
ident's council have now and then
ventured on an abridgement. To all
outward appearances their depart
ments ran along without disaster.
And The Times ventures the opinion
that the workings of their bureaus
obtained a wider hearing than If they
had been spread through a volume
as large as an atlas and as bulky as
an encyclopedia. Even tho traditions
OF the Cabinet have been known TO
go down before the lessons of exper-
fence.
