The New Judges.

The two new supreme court judges
have been appointed and confirmed.
They are Geo. w. Bailey oflFort COLI
lins and Luther NJ. Goddard of Denver.
They were appointed by Gov. Peabody
and confirmed by Republican senate.
So far as their judicial ability. goes
they are undoubtedly: both. excellent
men.
Judge Goddard has always heen a
Democrat and served on the supreme
bench as such. Why Gov. Peabody
should appoint Democrat to thisthigh
honor few can tell. 1t is usually con-
sidered't that he did this at the dictation
of certain corporation influences that
have been putting up for his contest
expenses.
Judge Goddard may make an excel
lent Judge. hut he is too new recruit
in the Republican party for his ap-
pointment to be greeted by great en-
thusiasm

Denver Daily Photos.

The illustrations in the Denver
dailies are no more to be relied upon
than the pipe dreams in the print.
After the appointment Of Judge Geo.
w. Bailey to the supreme bench one
Denver daily published his portrait
sho wing fat, sleek, smooth faced gen.
tie man somewhat after the style of
Sam Bash.
Another gave him full set of heavy,
dark whiskers in general character and
volume at least equal to those of Judge
Waldo.
Now few people will accuse Judge
Waldo and Sam Bash of resembling in
appearance and few would believe that
the pictures in the Denver papers were
TAX en- of the same subject.
The conclusion is that when the Dem
yer papers want an illustration they
stick in any old photo and name it
whom they please.

It's the top of the Royal Gorge as a

The hotel and livery men alone could
well afford to take up that attraction

Properly exploited this is really one
of the best attractions in the United

To the Powerful.

To man from a distance it looks
like the question of right or'sjustice
does not enter into:the controversy
at the state house.
nit seems to be merely case of grab,
and to the strongest belongs the spoils.
The Adams people would cast as
many fraudulent votes as possible in the
elections and want them counted.
The Peabody people, having the
power, would override constitution,
law and all, to seat the governor with
out regard to the actual honest vote
cast.
Neither side seems to be concerned
very seriously about finding out to
whom the governorship rightly be-
longs but both sides are determined
on getting the prize by means fair or
foul.
There are many Democrats who
would be pleased to see Mr.. Peabody
seated if he can show that he has a
majority of the honest votes cast. :.
while there are lots of Republicans
who do not want the governorship in
the party if this cannot be done.
It's shame on the state, but it is
no doubt fact that the question who
will be governor will probably not be
settled by considering anything in the
past so commou as an election, but it
will be determined by deals for future
delivery.
Whoever wins will lose. for he will
not be untainted.
