Do II Today.

The time worn injunction" Never put
off til Tomorrow what you can do to
day." is now presented in this way ''Do
it to day" That is the tsrse advice we
want to give you about that hacking
cough or demoralizing cold with which
you have been struggling for several
days perhaps weeke. Take some relia-
BILE remedy for it to day and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German Syrup
which has been in use for over thirty
five years. A few doses Of it will un-
doubtedly relieye your cough or cold
and its continued use for few days
will cure you completely. No matter
how deep-seated your cough. even il
dread consumption has attacked your
lunge, German Syrup will surely effect
a cure-as it has done before in thou
sands Of APPARENTLY hopeless cases OF
lung trouble. New trial bottles Csc; re-
gular size, 75c. As all druggists.

Waving any discussion Of tht
labor situation or the troublesome
question of deportation, it is i'm,
menscly satisfactory to the people
that Congressman Uerschel M.
uogg- stands for the doctrines that
have made this country great; that
build up new countries and furnish
labor with diversified employment.
He has been faithful and level
headed. Mr.. Hogg has been a
congressman in the highest and
best sense; he has been Jealous in
the discharge of his duties and has
brought his District in close re-
lationship with the progressive
spirit of this administration. He
has gained in one term such stand
ing with his fellow members in
Washington that his advice has
been needed and the second Dis
trict of Colorado has been recog-
nized as one of the factors in our
national lille. Mr.. Hogg is old
fashioned enough to insist upon
obedience to the law by all alike.
lie insists that those who invoke
the law. must extend the protec-
ton of the law; that sanity will
rule. The old soldiers of the
district have had an able, energetic
advocate in Mr.. Hogg for their
rights in general and a tireless
worker for every individual claim
before the department. He has
stood with us for the Gunnison
tunnel and his stand on the land
law has been from the hearts de-
sire of the people. He has served
his constituency, making no dis
elimination in politics where the
right was involved. If service is
to be rewarded cast vote for Mr..
IIogg for congress.

THE "EXTRAVAGANCE" ISSUE.

The Democrats are having a
great deal to say about the alleged
extravaganza Of the present Re-
publican administration. This is
an issue which is likely to prove a
boomerang, for the present ad-
ministration has paid off nearly
100000 of debts of former
Democratic administrations and it
has conducted every department
with much greater economy than
was done by former Democratic
administrations. SO far as the
military expense for the suppres-
sion of western federatian law

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND
THE POSTOFFlCE FRAUDS

M'Clure's Magazine for Sep
tember contains a notable article
concerning the postotfice. frauds
that have recently attracted SO
much public attention. The arti
Gle is written by William Allen
White of the Emporia Gazette and
shows an intimate acquaintance
with the facts as they are shown
in the official records at Washing
ton.
In describing the conditions
that existed at the beginning of
the Roosevelt administration Mr.
White says:
when it wasstopped by Pres i
dent Roosevelt this crookedness
was SO far reached that when a
citizen went to the postoffice to
buy a stamp the cash register
which gave him his change was.
full of graft, the ink used in can
ceiling the stamp was full of graft,
the pad which furnished the ink
was full of graft, the clock W hich
kept the clerks time was full of
graft, the postmaster's typewriter
was full of graft, the carriers
satchel tie-straps, his shoulder
straps and his badge were subject
to illegal taxation, the money or
der blanks were full of graft, tn e
letter boxes on the street were
fraudnlently painted, fraudulently
fastened to the posts, fruadulently
made, and eqnipped-many of
them-with fraudulent time indi-
Gators. Often the salaries of the
clerks were full Of graft. And in
the case of hundreds of thousands
Of swindling letters and advertise.
ments that were dropped in tn
box-they were full of graft"
AS result of the investigation
of the postofiice department four
"resignations" were accepted and
dozen removals were made.
Seventy four indictments were is
sued and seven convictions were
secured with sentences ranging
from one day to two years in the
penitentiary and fines of from one
to ten thousand dollars. In addi-
ton to these results a senator OF
the United States was tried and
convicted of serving illegally as an
attorney for a corporation accused
Of an improper use of the mails.
The story of President Roose.
velt's connection with the investi-
CATION of the postofiice frauds is
one that reflects great credit upon
his integrity and effectiveness as
an executive official. Yet it is sur
prising that an attempt has been
made to make capital for the op
position party out of these same
frauds. The very facts that have
been disclosed through the relent-
The Delta independent., 1904-09-02

less prosecution OF criminal OH
cials by the Republican party have
formed the basis Of arguments at
tempting to prove that the Repub-
lican administration is protecting
these same wrong doers.
And out of this same investiga
ton there has arisen another kind
of opposition of a more serious
nature, which is thus described by
Mr.. White:
ga man whomone class of
thieves hate all thieves will fear;
that is why Roosevelt is regarded
as an unsafe man in certain bust
ness circles, where business meth
ods and traditions license acts
which, scraped Of the veneer of
high finance, are mere stealing
That also is why senators, seeing
one Of their number hauled into
court for representing "get rich
quick" scheme, feel uneasy lest
lobbying for the Standard Oil, or
for the Railroad trust, or for the
Sugar trust, or for the beef com
bine in the senate, may put them
to the trouble and expense of
lawsuit with the government.
And finally, that is why railroad
officials who conniye with con-
gressmen to carry tons of franked
congressional mail up and down
their railroads during weighing
time, to increase the bills against
the government, get restless when
a man SO powerful as August w.
Machen has penitentiary sen-
tence in front of him and thirteen
untried indictments behind him.
The appearance of one honest man
in a group of thieves produces the
instant crystalization of the group.
Therefore, the postoffice investiga-
ton has organized against the
president dishonest forces in high
circles and in low circles"
1t is an unfortunate result of
government by political parties
that every act of public officials is
regarded from political stand,
point. But it is none the less
creditable to the honesty and good
sense of the American people that
no amount of political misrepre-
sentation has been able to blind
the people to the real facts Of
President Roosevelt's career and
character or to the exact meaning
of what has been accomplished by
him in the investigation Of the
postoffice frauds. And it is due
to this discernment OF the people
that the president has been renom,
mated in spite of the hatred of the
criminals whom he has punished
and of the lawbreakers whom liz
has held to an observance of the
laws.
And it is this same popular ap
prOval that will be the strOnges
element in securing his success a
the polls next November.

lcssuc>s is concerned. there will be
no difficulty in showing that this
expense was made necessary by
the failure Of the former Demo
cratic administration to compel
respect for the law.
This expenditure was used to
suppress the Democratic legacy OF
lawlessness which the present ad-
ministration inherited from the
Orman administration.
The Delta independent., 1904-09-02

We shall know after the Demo
cratic state convention, wheth er
they have sold out to the Socialists
and the Western Federation. If
their platform declares for a repudi-
alton of the "war debt and for a
constitutional amendment to take
away the governors executive
power, then the deal is surely "on.''

Judge Parker says that business

need not worry about the Colorado

they stand to lose not only their
interest, but their principle with it.
