Those Heels
By Henry Wood

When Edith tits about quite gracefully,
And from the upright does not greatly vary,
Her slant IS due to elevated heels
That techniclly are termed The Military"
But when her poise is more obtuse of angle,
As if the vertical she fain would Danish,
Or rival be of Pisa's Leaning Tower
Why, then her heels, two inches high, are Spanish "
Perchance, her tastes trend geographically,
And she would demonstrate to many million
Just how old Earth inclines unto its axis
Her elevators then are clept "Castilian."
Or would she further test earth's gravitation,
Her stills, three inches high, are then "DuBarry";
But these she only wears when Jack Is nigh,
Whose arms can make a falling body tarry.

COURTS THREATENED

To the voters who have decided to cast
their ballots for Alva Adams, an import
ant word must be addressed at this time.
His election is conceded and that the
majority will be 30 overwhelmingly large
as to create State record, is almost Ger.
tain.
But il you believe ia the election Of
Alva Adams it is equally important that
you do not leave the sligh test loophole
by which your vote can be made inef-
fec:ive.
Here is the situation frankly stated
and it is well to me.t it equarely now,
and not by post-election fight in the
courts or in the Office OF the state can
vassing board.
On the 18th day after the election, the
State canvassing board, consisting OF the
governor, the secretary OF state, the aud
itor OF state, the state treasurer and the
attorney general, meet, to canvass the
returns for congressman. regents, sena-
ators, representatives, judges, OF either
Supreme or District courts, district at
torneys and constitutional amendments
What it will assume to be it's duties
remain to b. seen. But that Peabody,
his assistants and his masters, the mon
ster corporate ms, who have no respect
for the law OF the State or the Nation,
will, IL they see the slightest chance to
outwit the people, go outside the pale OF
the law to accomplish their purpose, is a
problem that must be faced now.
First Of all, Peabody under the new
law, will endeavor between the first OF
January and the second Tuesday OF that
month, when he goe, out OF office, to
appoint the two new judges Of the
supreme court, provided .or by constitu-
tional amend ment.
They must lie conllrme by subserv-
lent senate.
And that is Why the people must step
in now.
A vote for Republican candidate for
state senator is vote for "Peabodyism"
pure and simple.
1t means that Peabody will havs the
power to name two corporation judges
for the supreme court and have them

1t has been generally reported since

1t means that in the matter of fran
chises judges will still do the bidding of
corporations.
1t means that for the subversion Of
law "Peabodyism" will find itself per
petuated in the highest court of the
state.
Do you want that?
Then remember that vote for Re
publican state senator, no matter how
strong man he is personally, no matter
how popular he may be. is vote to
make perpetual exactly what we are
trying to wipe out by the election of
Alva -"Peabodyism."
And to wipe out peabody ism" so that
it will never ngain show it's head in the
state or in the nation, it is of the me st
extreme impol tance that all the state
departments, including the land board
and the board of equalization be filed
by men who are in complete harmony
with the peace and prosperity program
of the coming Democratic admin
stration.
See that Alva Adams the man you
want elected has a legislature in sym
pathy with every immediate political
and economic need OF this great state.
Make sure of prosperity by writing the
word Democratic" on your ballot.
That's the safe way, the honest way,
the certain way to insure peace and
prosperity.

ENDORSES BELL

Every illegal act fathered by She IN; Z

| this State had the approval Of Theodore
Roosevelt. He knew directly or in
directly of the violation Of law by Sher-
man Bell and the Governor, yet the only
words he had to send to Colorado were
words OF congratulation for Sherman
Bell.
In letter written after Bells appoint
ment as Adjutant General, Roosevelt
says:
"If ! were commissioned to raise a
regiment in the United States, consist
ing OF one man, that man would be
Sherman Bell"
In the endorsement on the back Of
Sherman Bells discharge papers, is this
memorandum in the handwriting Of
President Roosevelt:
"On the whole, Captain Sherman Bell
was the very gamest man in the regi.
ment Of game men. He showed himself
in every emergency absolutly fearless,
absolutely Trustworthy and with singu-
larry good and clear judgement. l can
not speak too highly Of him."
These are the sentiments that Pft 81.
dent Roosevelt holds concerning the
man who deported American citizens
from the State OF Colorado: for the man
who intimidated women an children
and who permitted the greatest graft
ever known in the military annals Of any
state in connection with the expendi-
lures Of his various military campaigns
at Cripple Creek, Trinidad and Tel
iuride.
