Novel features for Race Meet

Beginning next Wednesday, August
II there will be four days of trotting,
pacing, running races and broncho
busting and other interesting contests
at the fair grounds in Glenwood. The
grounds are in fine condition and the
race track is said to be fast at the
present time with every indication of
"a continuance of this condition
through the four days.
One of the novel features of the
meet will be calf tieing contest
Each contestant must rope and tie
two calves, both animals to be turned
out of the corral at the same time and
given start of so yards.
There are number of horses al
ready on the ground and races are of
daily occurrence. 1t is said that
there are to be some of the fastest
horses in the west to enter the races.
and the sport promises to excel that of
any previous meeting. The manage
ment is sparing no effort to arrange
for all the events and the committee
in charge of the advertising is giving
the meet great publicity. The result
is expected to be very gratifying as
the indications ale that big crowds
will be in attendance.
One of the largest strings of horses
to be here will be that of James Selby
Of Delta, who passed through here
Monday for Leadville where his
horses are entered for this week :
meeting. He will bring the string to
Glenwood from Leadville Immediately
after the close of the races there.

Parker Speaks Of Colorado

Alton Brooks Parker now knows
that he is the nominee of the demo
cratic national convention at St
Louis He was formally notified of
that fact Wednesday by Champ Clark
of Missouri. In his speech accepting
the honor conferred upon him Judge
Parker very ably avoided specific
declarations and confined himself to IA
reiteration of the position which he
had already taken on the gold stand
ard, which is not an issue in the
campaign, and to glittering general
ties about conditions in general.
Among the things of which he spoke
was one which probably was intended
to cover the Colorado situation and
which will not give much comfort to
the democrats of Colorado who are en-
1eavoring to bring about an alliance
with the organization referred to by
Judge Parker. What he said in this
regard follows;
In struggle between employers
and employees, dynamite is said to
have been used by the latter, result
ing in the loss of life and the destruc
ton of property. The perpetrators of
this otfense against the laws of God
and man and all others engaged in the
conspiracy with them should, after
due trial and conviction, have had
meted out to them the most rigorous
punishment known to the law. This
crime, added, perhaps, to others, led
to the formation of committees of citi
zens that, with the support of the
military authority, deports from the
state, without trial, persons suspected
of belonging to the organization of
which the perpetrators of the dyna-
mite outrages We're supposed to be
members. In both cases the reign of
law gave way to the reign of force.
dence of the failure of government to
protect the citizen and his property
which not only justified the action of
our convention in this regard, but
II llS uhtN W 'hil htl'htioi w
the fact that the constitutional guar
antees are violated whenever any citi
zen is denied the right to labor to ac-
quire and to enjoy property, or to
reside where his interests or inclina
tion may determine; and the fulfil
ment of the assurance to rebuke and
punish all denials of these rights
whether brought about by individuals
or government agencies, should be en-
forced by every official and supported
by every citizen. The essence of good
government lies in strict observance
of constitutional limitations, enforce
ment of law and order, and rugged
opposition to all encroachment upon
the sovereignty of the people.
THE foregoing suggestions but EN-
phasize the distinction. which exists
between our own and many other
forms of government. 1t has been
well said, in substance, that there are
but two powers in government, one
the power of the sword, sustained by
the hand that wields it, and the other
the power of the law. sustained by
enlightened public sentiment. The
difference in these powers is the differ
ence between the republic, such as
ours, based on law and written
constitution supported by intelligence
virtue and patriotism-a mon
archy sustained by force exerted by
an individual uncontrolled by laws
other than those made or sanctioned
by him; one represents constitutional
ism, the other imperialism.

S WeS Al One Time We'll Known GenwOOd School Teacher Among
the Victims of Wreck

The most frightful railroad nc
cident in the history of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad occurred
Sunday evening about $ O'Clock, ten
miles north of Pueblo between Edel
and PinOn when the Missouri Paciii,
flyer which leaves Denver at o o'clocl
IN the afternoon was struck by Il wal
of water and two crowded passenger
cars swept with their loads of human
freight into II seething torrent OF
water.
The two coaches We're estimated t.
contain about 125 people and only II
have thus far been discovered alive.
Just how many people perishcd will
probably never be known. One Of
the victims was Mrs. West, wife of
the eX mayor George +. West of
Pueblo. She was well known in
Glenwool rs Miss Mary Chancellor,
having taught school here several
years ago.
The Pueblo Chieftain says of Mrs.
West:
Mrs. George F. West came prom
nemtly before the public through her
husband, Mayor West who died in
December, 1901, during his incm
bency. At the time of his death he
and Mrs West resided in their coZy
home at 321 Michigan street and after
that she continued to live there very
retilingly, retaining her interest
in the West Bros. furniture business
on south Union avenue. Mrs West
was formerly Miss Chancellor of
franklin, Mo, in which place her
father, William Chancellor, is still
living, She came to Pueblo about
ten years ago, and for five years was
primary teacher in the south side
schools, so that she had n large mum
ber of friends in her profession She
married Mr.. West, who was ut the
time a widower, in September, 1899
Their union WAS an ideally happy
one, and after her husband s death.
Mrs. West, who had sweet, retiring
and modest disposition, chose to live
a secluded life She was charitable,
an ideal neighbor and greatly loved
by all who knew her. Her death
came in the very prime Of her life
and her sister Mrs John Thompson,
of Nirgelle, Mont, who had beWn
here most of the summer for her
health and who, only a short time
ago, underwent AN operation mt the
