CONCERNING DAIL!ES
AND PUBLIC PRINTING

Three months before election
two daily papers were started in
Rocky Ford for the express pur-
pose of holding up the county for
the publication of the official list
OF nominations last fall. Rocky
Ford has as much need for daily
paper as the mayor and people OF
Newdalc have for a $4,000 opera
house. The Daily Gazette and
the Daily Enterprise were inaug-
urated just within the time limit
to make each a legal publication
a week before the election, at
which time the official list OF nom-
nations is published. 1t was a
graft proposition from start to
finish. There was not nickcFs
worth of advertising in either
sheet. and we are reliably in
formed that neither had n circula'
ton at any tiTe exceeding loo
copies. Early in the game the
sanity Barkley, the original pro
/ hibitionist of Rocky Ford. dis
continued the publication OF the
Daily Enterprise-for considcra
ton. We understand that he re
ccived half OF the 500 paid b,
/ the county after the expense o
publication was deducted.

IN cAaNeole's EARLY DAYS
When He Swept the Office AZ Part
Of His Daily Duties.

Andrew Carnegie told the other
day OF one OF those little things In his
early life which. as seen In the light
OF the great ironmaster's career since
then. are 30 clearly indicative OF the
man and Of the qualities which have
made him so marked figure OF tho
times. II was CT his start that he
was speaking. his very earliest start,
when he was sweeping out an office
to begin his day.
''Yes." he said. Il was one OF tho
sweepers. and who do you suppose
were my fellows at that work? David
Mccargo. now superintendent OF tho
Allegheny railroad; Robert Pitcairn.
who was to rise SO deservedly, high In
the service OF the Pennsylvania road.
and Moreland. who was to be one day
city attorney of Pittsburg.

contemplated or expected that 1t
would be published in anv daily
outside of the large cities. The
natural inference is that when
newspaper issues daily edition
it necessarily must have the cir
culation and advertising patron
age to justify the daily publica-
ton. A newspaper is legitimate
business enterprise. and the pro-
prietor is not entitled 10 any more
consideration or gratis than any
other business man. If the Colo
RADIO State Editorial Association
attempts to defend or uphold the
daily newspaper graft in small cit
les. all we can say is that we have
very poor opinion OF the news
paper fraternity in Colorado.
They are as bad as the political
grafters who are now holding a
seance in Denver. Thev are not
on the square.-La Junta Trib-
unc.
We have no desire to antago-
nize the Tribune's views regard
ing daily paper started for the
purpose OF getting fat legal print
ing. The law providing for the
publication OF the list OF nomina'
tions in a daily is based on the
supposition that where a daily
exists it leads the wecklics in cir
culation. The language OF tht
law now allows abuses and SHOULD
be amended so as to require pub
lication in dailics only where the,
are the real mediums Of publicit,
where they reach more pcopl,
than do the wceklics published il
the same county.
The Daily Enterprise was :
measure of self defense. We knew

State Editorial Association.

The meeting Of the State Editorial As
ISOLATION at Denver on Monday was
pleasant occasion. The attendance was
good and considerable business OF inter-
est to the fraternity considered. At noon
the members Of the association were the
guests Of the Denver Chamber OF com
mefGs al : luncheon presided over by J.
s. Temple. manager OF the Western
Newspaper Union. who has recently been
elected president OF Denyer's active and
efficient body OF boosters. Gov. Adams
was present and made one OF his neat
speeches. The newspaper men were
eomplimentsd highly for the work they
are constantly doing for the benefit OF the
state. However. the governor thought
that some Of the fraternity at periodical
intervals suffered lapse in their career
OF usefulness. He was opposed TO cap
i,al punishment but had seen times dur
ing political campaigns when he would be
willing to suspend his seruples in the in
tsrest Of justice and righteous retribution.
Short talks were made by Denyer's bus
mess men.
One Of the pleasant features Of the
OCCASION was NllG pf1pANlAAkAAN " "a NaN-

ident. II. J. Holmes, Of tho Glenwood

lset Of his own business while looking az
tor matters Of interest TO MS brother Cd
itors. This small token Of the esteem Of
his feRow newspaper men was presented
in few earnest words by Guy U. Hardy
OF the Canon City Record.
In this connection II will be proper ,c
mention the fact that II. J. Holmes efforts
for thses,ablishment oi the sugar bee, IN

was largely through his ins,rum,ality
that the Denver Chamber Of Commerce
was enlisted in aiding experimental plant

the Denver Chamber OF Commerce has
proved that its work has NJ; been limited

continent and furnish pie to every
man, woman and child In the United
States.
The story of the actual performance
OF the pie machine is truly wonderful.
In fact two machines are necessary.
In the first the crust Is produced.
Instead Of pie pans, molds like wanie
irons are used TO form the crust. As
the molds pass along on an endless
chain. they move lever at one END
which permits the pie dough TO enter
the pans. shaped something like wafffe
irons, and they then pass between two
sets Of burners which take the place OF
the oven. or course before the dough
Is released the irons are heated to the
proper temperature. The dough Is con-
tanned In huge tank above the ma
chine. feed pipe running down, and
by means Of piston, just enough
dough IL forced down TO I'LL one OF the
molds as II passes under the pipe.
The strokes of the piston are SO regu.
lated AS to be timed with the arrival
of each pan under the pipe. AS soon IA
the crust Is baked they are removed
by an attendant who stands at one end
of the machine. These crusts are then
arranged on large pan which is taken
up by another attendant who places
the crusts in the second machine.
Filling by the Ton.
This Is also of the endless chain type,
with two vast watts ut one end, one OF
which contains the lemon filling and
the other the meringue, by carefully
regulated ratchets the filling and the
meringuc are fed alternately. The
pies then pass on TO an overhead
burner which gives the top Of the
meringue Il rich brown. The pie, thus
completed, Is passed out from under
the baker and is ready for disposal by
the American pie eater.

to everybody even following the
fiercest political campaigns. The
statement made by the Inventor from
the Smoky City certainly is a marvel
when it is figured just what the ma
chimes capacity for pic-makins is.
Suppose we have the machine running
ten hours n day. six days in the week,
allowing for holidays and brcakdowns,
making the lemon mcringuc pies. for
which the machine is specially adapted,
we have, with say 800 working days n
year, the sum total of T,2000O0 pies a
year. If these pies are like mother used
to make, then of course they are each
about nine inches in diameter and an
inch and quarter thick. Mother al

SENATOR MARTINS CASE.
denomination of Virginia Statesman
Cost a Small Fortune.

Senator Martin of Virginia is out OF
pocket 1880 In expenditures to se-
cure a denomination to the United
States Senate. This is more than one
third of the salary he would receive
during the whole six years of his new
term. The expenditure, 1t seems, was
necessary. The Senator had popular
opponent who set hot pace and kept
it up to the end. There was nothing
for Mr.. Martin to do but to canvass
the State from end to end and this,
with other necessary expenses, ran the
total high. This fight of Senator Mar
tin for denomination and the neces-
sary large expenditure, which is looked
upon as entirely legitimate and free
from any corruption, has aroused con-
siderable comment among politicians
and prominent men at Washington, as
being an exceptional clear cut ex'
ample of present political methods ant
necessities.

cally over" said prominent Southern

When this marvellous production OF
Persian artists and weavers was
spread out before his majesty at
buckingham Palace he must have
been reminded of some of the scenes
depicted in the ARABIAN Nights"
1t had been known for some days
past that special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon
the King, and there was some specula-
ton as to the object of his mission.
The secret was well kept. and it was
not until the arrival of tile ambassador
at the palace that any information
could be gained as to the contents or
the great packing case over which he
kept vigilant guard.
For more than two years quite a
little army of designers and weavers
has been constantly at work upon
the carpet, and the result has been the
production of what even in Persia
must be considered royal master
piece.
The design Is very curious. complex
and certainly most Ingenious: the
colors are perfect and faultlessly
blended; and the manufacture is flaw
less. The rug has been made entirely
by hand.
