Few mothers are so careless as to
send a child to school with improper
food, but the way I'm which it is served
is something distasteful. In any pub-
lie school at the noon hour one NAV
see luncheon basket lined with a
greasy, red-striped, fringed napkin,
which will do duty for an entire week.
The very sight of that napkin will
take away the appetite of child with
any sort of sensibilities. In the same
basket will probably be found sand
wich of thickIy cut bread with the
crust left on and the filling of which is
n chunky slice of over-done roast beef
or mutton. Why not use the dainty
japanese napkins which arc quite
cheap and oil paper for the sandwiches
will keep them from drying out as well
as present an appetizing appearance

The Garden keyboard.

Get busy right now.
Study the seed catalogues.
Don't neglect the advertisements.
Sow peas as soon as the ground can
be worked.
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plums should be among
the trees grated earliest.
"Prune when the knife is sharp"
but never when the wood is frozen.
Lettuce and radish seed can go into
the ground as soon as the surface can
be scratched.
Flowing the garden when the ground
is wet makes bad work. Better good
job a few days delayed.
Get the first sowing of sweet peas
into the earth as soon as the frost is
out. Cover four or five inches deep.
Cool weather after planting will not
hurt them.

ADAMS AND THE WAR DEBT

"The Denver Times, having
printed an article intimating that
Governor Adams favored the re.
pudiation of the states military
debt, the governor over his sigma
ture has declared that II have
never and do not now favor the re-
pudiation of debt by either an
individual or a state, and as gov
ernor it will be my aim to pay every
honest claim against the state and
| will favor any bill looking to that
end. Telluride Journal.
If Governor Adams does not do
all he can to shield the taxpayers
Of Colorado from paying that $500
600 war debt. which was created
by, for and in the sole interests of
the corporations. he is not worthy
of the confidence placed in him by
the people. He does not even hint
that he is in favor of the state pay
ing this debt when he says that he
is in favor of paying every honest
claim. This is not an honest claim
and if Governor Adams should
favor the placing of this debt on the
shoulders of the taxpayers. that
would not even make it honest but
would place Mr.. Adams integrity
on very shaky foundation in the
public eye.

THE philippine railway bill which
has been signed by President Roose-
velt is one of the best pieces of leg
islation enacted concerning the
Philippines since these islands came
into our possession. The railroads
which will come into existence be-
cause of this law will give the Fill
pines access to market for their pro-
ducts. The only important thing
that is now in the way of Philip
pine prosperity, so far as legislation
can effect it, is Our present tariff on
imports from the islands. If we
are really going to carry the white
mans burden in the Philippines
and intend to carry it fairly. rather
than to adjust it for the benefit of a
few American manufacturers, that
tariff ought to be promptly ad-
justed. And, in this case, adjust
ment means a material reduction of
the tariff charges. While the Phil
ippines are not part of the Union,
Our relation to them is such that
a high protective tariff between us
and them is more than unjust.

The safe in the office of the Denver
and Rio Grand railroad company at
Montrose was blown open on Friday
night and robbed. Agent Hughes, who
sleeps just across the tracks from the
Office, heard the robbers shoot the safe
three times, but thought 1t was some
shooting on the streets, such noises oc-
curing occasionally. The thieves got
very little money, rs Mr.. Hughes had
cashed check in the evening, using
up most of the money. The robbers
also broke into a money drawer under
the counter but found nothing. There
is no clue to the robbers as yet, but as
an inch of snow fell during the night
it is safe to say they came up town and
went to bed after the robbery.

Da. W. C. TUCK RESIGNS.
Daniel r. Randall Elected Chair
man of Republican Cen
trai Committee,

In accordance with his announced
intention made last summer, DR.. W.
q. Tuck today handed 70 the Repuh.
liean County Central Committee his
resignation as chairman of that body.
AT meeting of the Central Commit
tee. held later, Mr.. Daniel II. Ran
| dali was elected chairman in DR..
Tuck's stead.
The election of Mr.. Randall meets
with popular favor in Republican po-
litioal circles. DR.. Tuck has had a
long and active career in Republican
politics. He has been the party leader
for many years and his retirement
from active political life will be re-
gretted by his many friends. Upon the
presentation Of his resignation today
TO the Republican County Central
Committee DR.. Tuck announced that
he intended to keep up his interest in
the party and its welfare and would
offer advice when occasion requires.
During Dr. Tuck's connection with
the party as its county leader. repeat
ed attempts have heen made to Gust
him by other factional leaders, hut
without success. The latest of these
was in the early part of tie present
campaign. when the Werntz. Claude.
Petherbridge combination attempted
TO defeat him in the primaries and
county convention This. like the
efforts which preceded it. proved a
complete failure While retiring from
active party work. DR.. Tuck VIII con
tinue to manifest an interest in his
party and does not wish it understood
otherwise.
Last spring the Capital published
the law which forbids postmasters
from being actively engaged in poli-
tics and which says he must either
resign his postmastership or retire
from active politics It is thought
probable that this new regime had
something to do with DR.. Tuck's res
iguatinn today. OF additional inter
est to politicians locally, the Repub-
lican Congressman from this district,
the Hon. Sydney e. Mudd, spent to-
day in this city. Mr. Mudd arrived
from Baltimore this morning and
registered at the Hotel Maryland
Shortly after his arrival he was
visited by various Republicans aud
later saw practically all of the candi
dates and the local county leaders of
the party, paying his respects to the
venerable war horse who has led the
party here for So many years. 1t was
stated by Republican politicians that
Mr.. Mudd's visit was for the purpose
of talking over the situation with the
leaders aud to plan the campaign.
