SENATOR LONGS ASSURANCES.
Senator Issns Of Kansas, says we
will get statehood at the coming ses-
sion Of congress, unless we interrupt
congressional proceedings by separate
statehood talk or constitutional conven-
tions. That recalls the promises OF
how Oklahoma would get statehood un-
less she should elect a Democratic
delegate to congress.
That no good purpose can be served
by agltaung the separate state move
ment IS quite plain II there is atg
one thing that is settled once for all
it is that there is 20 be only one state
made out Of Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory
The point is that these Republican
promises Of statehood are getting 4 lit
tie stale after about ten years Of hard
usage without any redemption. A little
redeenring just now would beat all the
additional promises that could be piled
up in the big pasture.
The fact is that the people of Okla
homa are good natured folks and like
their neighbors and everybody else for
that matter and are obliged to Senator
Long for his kind words. but they are
getting just a little sore on this as
surance business and want a little re-
demption.
Il Is Just this way: hungry man
wants something TO eat and he gets
lank and just little irritable to be
always told that the bread wagon IS
coming For awhile he would be in
clined TO listen to arguments and rea-
sons why IL did not come and why
former promises failed of fulhllment
and then there would come time,
when he would be weary of that sort
Of thing and want loaf OF bread and
would refuse to enthuse much unless
he got it.

hungry man should lay down and wslt

MARVELLOUS RICHNESS.
Editor Holmes Discourses on the
North Fork and its Possible
Greatness.


last week has opened the eyes of
the editor Of this paper to the
wonderful richness of that val
ley. For years we have been
reading in the North Fork papers
about the great fruit and the past
few years the whole state has been
made aware of the wonderful
agricultural and fruit possibilities
about Paonia and Hotchkiss. We
have been unable to grasp a full
meaning of what we read until we
arrived in the valley and spent two
days listening to the stories of
wealth and industry. We were
shown that apples in that valley
brought a higher price than any
apples grown in Colorado. We
we're shown that large area of
land was devoted to sugar beets
and the stock industry was one of
vast proportions.
The horticultural possibilities of
the North Fork country are be-
yond conception and it is estima.
ted that where 400 to 500 cars of
fruit are being shipped, next year
it will take 1000 or more cars
to get the fruit out of that coun-
try. The people are prosperous
and the only complaint they seem
to make is that they cannot get
out Of the country without going
away around it.
In Paonia they were especially
interested in talking about the
road that had been contemplated
for many years that would come
through by way of Carbondale to
Glenwood Springs bu. the railroad
company did not seem to be ready
to make that change. They
estimate that 1t would put them
80 miles nearer to Denver and
when the Moffat line arrives in
Glenwood Springs it will put them
100 miles nearer to Denver. They
claim that they will have this line
through if they have to do it by
private enterprise. Their minds
are set on it and should it come to
a sugar beet factory at Carbon
dale it would be an easy PROPOSE
ton and one necessary to absorb
the beets that could be piled on
top of it. We would like to see
united effort made by the citizens
in the North Fork valley and the
citizens of Carbondale and Glen
wood to bring about this short cut.
Every one is we'll aware of the
fact that you get nothing if you
do not ask for it, and it is a cer-
tainty that no railroad will be
built in the North Fork valley
from this direction unless the peo-
pie on both sides get up and stand
on their hind feet and shout for
it.-Glenwood Springs Avalanche.

FOR CLEAN POLITICS.
A Reply to MIR. Barkhausen, of the
Denver Democrat.

Our friend Bro. Barkhausen, of
the Denver Democrat, takes US to
task for accusing him of speaking
i'll of Senator Patterson. In the
course OF his remarks he says that
"He wishes he could credit
Senator Patterson with the srncer-
ity that we do" Well, you could
if you would get acquainted with
him and analyze his actions as we
have for the past twenty years.
We credit our junior Senator with
his full share of mistakes, but he
has never deceived US, or tried to,
within our knowledge. He is too
much OF a diplomat tor us in many
ways. AT times the Senator seems
to think that the end justifies the
means, viz: scrapping for tariff
on sugar when he knows that
nothing but selfishness dictates
such course. But we have char
ity for his view because he once
told US that while everything else
the people used was protected to
the clouds he would be hanged if
he would ever agree to taking the
protection off the only thing
Colorado people produced. We
see the argument. We don't agree
with it, but we. do not propose to
quarrei-over the right or wrong OF
his position. He did not see 6t
to vote or work for Speer for
mayor and you fellows will never
get over calling him traitor. But
is it not a fact that we were all in
. trcmble for fear Boss Speer
would turn that Denver gang vote
over to Peabody as per contractf
And is it not yet gravely suspic-
ioned that he did it1 Out here
among the pumpkin huskers there
is a robust suspicion that there is
precious little politics in Denver.
We think that your conventions
are all dictated to by VIM. G, Evans.
We are not taking Mr.. Patterson's
word for it either. A year ago we
think we saw Charley Hughes
pulled gently back just as he had
decided to throw his splendid per
sonality into the gubernatorial
race. 1t looked to country
democrat as if Evans had hold of
the string. We understand that
running your Democratin Denver,
it is advisable to stand in with the
gang and defend them. but out
here where we raise fruit instead
OF hell, it is more satisfactory to
tell the truth and less strain on the
conscience.
This editor was twice sentenced
to ninety days in Denver, and
once sent back for sixty more for
misbehavior. During that time we
learned good deal about Denver
politics. We got next to several
mighty good fellows and they
told us things that took the var
nish off our political ideas. We

day Evening.
Phil. ii, II. 13.-"Work out your
own salvation with fear and
trembling. For it is God which
worketh in you both to will and to
do of his good pleasure. ="
With each new age the great
facts of the religious life need
redehning. The facts remain the
slme; the fatherhood of God, the
brotherhood of man, the unique
personality of Jesus Christ. the
sinfulness of sin, the possibilities
of human growth into Godlike
character and life, these are un
changeable. But mems thoughts
concerning them are undergoing
continual change. No age can
do the thinking for any succeed
ing age without crippling its
thought and checking its spiritual
growth.
Salvation is a term standing for
one of the great facts OF religion
into which we need to look
afresh if we would find that mean
ing which meets the needs of our
own age. There was time when
salvation meant chiefly the safe
landing of the soul in heaven.
connected with this has usually
been the consciousness Of sins
forgiven and. often, certain
spiritual exaltation resulting from
the new conditions. None of
these elements could we'll be lack
ing in any adequate conception of
salvation, yet these aspects,
whether rightly or not. do not
appeal strongly to the present age.
We call ourselves practical, We
do not believe in Juggling a boat
upon our shoulders over wide
stretch of territory that we may
have it to cross some distant
stream; we do not believe in de-
ferred dividends but rather in a
frequent taking of profits. So, in
our religion, we look for some
thing that has present, practical
value, and it is this aspect of
salvation that calls for emphasis
today. We are saved men and
women, if that is our lot, not by
virtue of a passport to world be-
yond, but because we are fulfilling
the high destiny God intended for
us by living strong, clean, un-
selfish life, obedient to God, help
full to our fellow men. Salvation
means the personal realization of
those life forces and those ele-
ments of character which go to
make us the best the strongest,
the most useful, the most Godlike
men and women we are capable of
becoming,
For the realizing of such a
destiny the past history ofthe race
is instructive. Man has been from
the earliest stages thrown upon
his own resources. Those achieve
ments that have been most worth
