Las. saturday. Convention.

In response to stated call of line
Republican County Executive Commit
tee q goodly number of loyal republic
cans assembled in the Court HOUSE
last SATURDAY. to elect delegates to the
State convention which meets in
Wheeling. July, 18th. With the ex-
ception of little furry here and there
the meeting was practically hsrmoni-
GUS. Not much Of q desire to be q
delegate was expressed by any one.
Hence, 1t was with no difficulty that
they were selected.
Internationally the delegation will
be divided ON the gubernatorial con.
test Both aspirants for governor are
well known by most of the delegates.
and, of course, they will have their
personal preference. Whatever 1.-THE
outcome will be they can make no
mistake In voting for. either man.
Both men are perfectly capable of
managing the affairs of this State, and
the successful candidate will have the
undivided support of those who shall
have fought him bitterly throughout
this long and .tiresome contest.
No county in this State is more re-
spected, and no set of delegates will
have better seat in the convention.
than our own. Those who manage
and manipulate conventions fully
realize that Berkeley county has some
of the most level-headed and far
sighted politicians within the state.
Their advice is often sought upon inn
portant issues and always found to be
given in the right direction. In sew
eral instances some Of our Influential
and respected citizens have gone to
Charleston when the Legislature was
in session to urge the passage OF laws
beneficial to our town and county,
and which were always opposed by
antagonistic democrats. Such is the
record of some democrats who oppose
everything beneficial to our interest.
They wonld rather do without good
laws than to suffer them passed by 9
republican. Legislature.
Above ALI things this fractional fight
must be kept out of this. county. Tit
delegates chosen must decide fol
whom they intend to vote.- Will
harmony within our ranks we cal
elect our ticket. but if there is. con
tention over things of little import
ance we cannot even hope to win
Th9n let every man rest content a
the action of our delegates in tn
State convention knowing they will
, only do those things which are I'D
vantageous to party interest.

Our retiring mayor, Hon. Georgt

clean record. Intelligent men OF boil
parties agree that he did his duty I'M
fiinchingly without regards to future

question OF submitting license or no

that he would not retract one iota

no occasion within the year should
bring more sadness to the hearts Of
the American people than when
strewing flowers on the graves of the
brave boys who wore the blue, and
who died fighting for the preservation
of this glorious union They laid
down their ives as bleeding sacrifices
on the alter of Justice and freedom
Nothing was to hard for them too en-
dure; no sacrifice to great too offer
Their bodies long ago have been de-
stroyed but their noble lives will
shine through the ages frightening
generations yet to come. The youth
receive courage from their heroic
death, and patriotism springs etsrna
within their breast. No foreign foe
can Withstand snch loyalty and hero.

Let no honored grave of an Union
soldier go unmarked by wreath Of
flowers on Memorial Day. The choicest
roses should be placed on their silent
tonbs. Their resting places should
be baptized by the tears of their sur
viving loved ones. In the hearts of
all let us think and believe our brave
soldier boys are campsd on the banks
of that eternal river in the land of
perpetual sunshine and everlasting
JOY.

Trouble Maker.

Corumcting Or the nomination OF Iheo-
dore Roosevelt. the Galveston News had
the following to say
He IS the very kind of man to keep the
country i'll continuous state Oh uneer-
tsiuty and turmoil aud to make serious
trouble even in time OF peace
To this the following very effective
reply was made by the Springfield
Republican:
lie IS and always has been dangerous
man. He was dangerous to the shirss,
t ives and bi grnit men on the force when
he was police commissioner OF New YORK
He was dangerous 10 the enemies oi the
country when preparing for the Spanish
var, and to the Spaniards at san juan
He was dangerous 10 the dishonest oiiicers
after the war He WAS dangerous to the
officers Of the army who didn : have sense
enough to keep their mouths shut when
in the service. He has been especially
dangerous to the thieves and graiters IN
the postal service lie is dangerous to
the trusts and big corpoations that are
seeking any special privileges from the
government for the purpose Of robbing
the public. He IS a dangerous man tolazy'
incompetent. dishonest and undisciplined
servants everywhere, and OF course he Is
a dangerous man tot the Democratic party.
Yes. Roosevelt IS very dangerous, and
that /. why the people are going 10 re-
elect him by an overwhelming majority
They like man who is dangerous IN Ger
tain things.

THE newspapers OF Idaho Springs strive
each week to give to the people picture
OF current events and presented in such a
manner that those away from the city
may keep fully posted. In addition to
this the Offices are weekly turning into
hundred dollars that is distributed in all
branches Of trade: But glance at the
advertising columns OF the papers will
discover the fact that those who derive
in the columns. While il is admitted that
the papers are doing great work for the
city and camp every week, still there are
many who do not feel disposed to con-
papers. On the contrary. during the pas;
few months there has been several foreign
advertising schemes offered to these uer-
chants. and in every instance they have
contributed and literally, the money thus
donated not only going out OF town but
the benefits derived have been nothing
But in the face OF these facts the papers
will plod along faithfully and each week
boost in every way possible those who
decline to see any benefit TO be derived
from card in the local papers. It is
every merchants duty to carry some ad-
vertising in the local papers and it should
be followed as religiously as the allow
ance for rent, fuel or lights. There is moi
a dollar spent with the local papers but
what returns good dividends, and the
effect that it has upon the paper which
goes to the readers both at home ano
abroad cannot be estimated. Find towr
whose papers are literally patronized b,
the merchant and where the citizens boos
the papers in every way possible, and yo'
will finds prosperous community ever,
time.

THE finding of what is believed to be
valuable mineral deposits near the Clear
Creek and grand county line will be re-
ceiyed with no little satisfaction in this
part Of the state, as all these stories Of
added wealth mean much to all interests
The men making the find are experienced
hands in the knowledge Of minerals and
ground formation. and they are certainly
confident that a most valuable find has
been made. That the discovered veins
are above timber line and close to 100
feet above Sea level docs not for moment
detract from their value for il the rock
carries the values claimed for it. every
inch will be thoroughly dug out, for the
persistency of the Colorado miner does
not haik at obstacles no matter how form
idsble they may seem, But in this in
stance the newly discovered minerals are
but a few miles from the Moffat road and
with down hill pull TO the rails through
q very smooth country. Already there is
a rush to the new district and IT will take
but few week TO determine As TO the
stability Of the new diggings.

The City Beautiful.

Now that Idaho Springs has entered
upon a new period OF activity. showing a
determination to take up the work OF
development where it was dropped year
ago. /, may BE- well To consider some OF
those features that have been neglected
in the past.
Not the ieas; OF these is the importance
Of making a beautiful city, as we'll as a
strong one. Commercial strength is but
a part Of the legitimate object OF civic
Improvement. as commercial enterprise is
but part of the peoples life. II com
nercialisru IS INDUCED at the expense OF
interests. the people will lose much.
The experience OF the Older American
cities proves the value of public efforts
toward bcautifying public places.
Idaho Springs is ideally situated for
the making of real city beautiful. -
No better natural site can be found in all
the west. All that Is needed is the right
sentiment on the part OF the people.
Street improvement, IS one Of the frs,
steps toward this end. The private citizen
can do much toward lettering these con-
ditions 4 wholesome public sentiment
can do more The streets must be KEEP;
clean; vacant property must be kept free
of weeds and junk heaps; the shabby
wrecks OF old buildings must be cleared
away; trees must be planted along the
travelled highways All that is necessary
is a righ, beginning. The force OF ex
ample will do the rest. Let the idea OF
beauty once get itself fixed in the public
mind and this city will be beautiful.
