Cold Weather Forecast.

II feel certain we are going to have Il
cold winter this year, and / mean by
that an unusually cold winter" said a
well known Glenwood Springs man the
other day.
wild animals of the mountains are
as good weather forecasters as / care for,
and their signs all point to severe win
ter. The deer and such game are leav-
ing the heights and getting down below
the level of the quaking aspens. They
never do this unless it is about to get
cold, for they want to get as high as
possible as a rule, in order to avoid hun
ters."
Mr. jackson has lived on the western
slope for many years, and is a student of
animal life. He says deer are numerous
on the western slope and adds that MIR.
Roosevelt did not kill all the bears in
that section.

JOINING IN THE CHASE.

The times are ripe for reform in gov
ernmental affairs. This is true whether
the reference be made to the municipal
ity, the state or the nation itself There
is something in the very atmosphere
which tells of reform and of public opin-
ion for sane and safe and wholesale gov
ernmeRt.
Perhaps the most striking figure in the
country at She present moment, not even
excepting the president himself, is May
or John Weaver of the city of Philadel-
phia. Himself foreign born citizen, a
practical politician, the nominee of a
ring and the executive of the most graft
cursed city in the land, he has risen
equal to the emergency. He has not only
renounced his allegiance to the ring and
declared his devotion hereafter to good
government, but he has further annihi-
lated, at least for the time being, the
Philadelphia ring of grafters. And in
other cities the spirit of reform is
spreading.
Our governors, too, are reformers these
republicans, as ring politicians or as
statesmen, they are today in their official
acts rejecting credit upon their states.
Witness the sturdy fight that Joe Folk
is waging in Missouri against graft of
every kind. Look at the bold LnFolette
in Wisconsin, and of Deneen in Illinois.
Witness Governor Hanley of Indiana de
claring he will not appoint a man who
drinks to Office. Look at the honest and
sturdy old fashioned democratic admin
astrations of Douglas in Massachusetts
and johnson in Minnesota Look at the
war which Governor Hoch, of crazy Kan
sas, is wag.ng against the oil trust and
other trusts. And even Governor Hig-
gins, of New York, named as governor
by the dominant republican party solely
because he was a ringster and spoils-
man and henchman of Odell, has risen
in great measure to the honor and dig
nlty of his position, and has proved that
he possesses i'll great measure courage,
Independence and honesty.
And in our national administration
there has been exposure and prosecution
after prosecution of corrupt officers. In
the United States senate alone half a
dozen members have been hauled to the
bar of Justice to account for crooked
doings.
The spirit of honesty and of economy.
of reform and of the destruction of graft
is abroad in the land. All our people, of
high rank and low degree alike, are join.
ing in the chase after the grafters. This
is sign of the times that augurs well for
our nation and for our people, Monroe
Advertiser.

Talk of the Times.
YouNG MEN wANrEp.


Every young man in Elbert county is
wanted! Wanted from the street cor
ners, from the loating rendezvous, from
the Idlers promenade; turn your steps
into the highway of noble aim and earn
est work. There are prizes enough for
every successful worker, crowns enough
for every honorable head that goes
through the smoke of conflict to victory.
There is within the young man an up
springing of lofty sentiment which
though there are obstacles to be sur
mounted and difficulties to be vanquish-
ed, yet with truth for his watchword
and leaning on his own noble purposes
and exertions, he may crown his brow
with honors. He may never wear the
Warrior crimson wreath, the poets chap
let of bays, or the statesman's laurels,
though no grand universal truth may at
his bidding be confessed to the world,
though it may never be his to bring to a
successful issue great political resolu-
tion-to be the founder of a republic
whose name shall be "a distinguished
star in the constellation of nations, -
yea, more, though his name may never
be heard beyond the limits of his own
neighborhood, yet is his mission none
the less high and holy one.
But why do so few young men of early
promise, whose Wise hopes, purposes, and
resolves were radiant as the colors of the
rainbow, fail to distinguish themselves?
The answer is obvious. They are not
willing to devote themselves to the toll
some culture which is the price of sue
cess. Whatever aptitude for particular
pursuits nature may donate to her fav-
orite children, she conducts none but
the laborious and the studious to dis
tinction.
Nay, nay, my son, don't you believe
that the editors are the only ones who
may say mean things about their com
petitors in business. Just keep your
ears open, my boy, and you may hear
some physician eulogIze in the negative
some professional brother: don't be sur
prised if you hear some merchant friend
say uncomplimentary things about some
brother of the business, and don't be
shocked oven if you hear a brother Of
the cloth say things about another min
lister Of the gospel that would sound very
human, for really they are all human,
just as much so as the rest of US.

A Judicious Inquiry.

A well known travelling man who visits
the drug trade says he has often heard
druggists inquire of customers who ask
ed for cough medicine, whether it was
wanted for child or for an adult. and If
for a child they almost invariably rec
omended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they Know
there is no danger from it and that it al
ways cures. There is not the least dan
ger in giving it, and for coughs, colds
and Group it Is unsurpassed. For sale

The Elbert County tribune., 1905-10-19

Last weeks Kiowa Record says "The
county commissioners have decided to
build new court house and work will
commence immediately" All who have
seen the court house at the county seat
will agree that the county needs new
court house. There is. however, one i'm
portant question that should be settled
before the county puts any money into
new county building that is. the per
manent location of the county seat. The
county capital was temporarily located
at kiowa some years ago until ''the next
general election" when the people were
to be given an opportunity to vote on the
question. Many elections have been
held since that time but for reasons
which are not known to the Tribune the
matter has never been settled, nor has
it ever been voted on. Now that the
county contemplates building new
court house, it is up to the commission
ers to give the people an opportunity to
express their preference for the perma-
nent location of the county seat When
that question is settled according to law
the Tribune believes there will be little
or no objections whatever to the erection
of a new county building, and the Rec
ord's "hope that there will be no hin
drauce to the immediate construction of
the court house" will be gratified.
Commissioners, what are you going to
do about it?
