The Republicans of the state
are casting their political optics
about for some candidate to head
their ticket for governor, next year.
While the time is somewhat dis
tant for the election the g. o. p.
realizes they have much to cover up
for the wrong doing of the legisla-
ture last spring and think it about
time they were getting busy. 1t
appears hard matter for the Re-
publicans to find a man for gov
ernor. They won't consider the
present incumbent, the receiver Of
stolen goods, who was never elect
ed but received the Office as the
result of the dirty steal accom-
plished by the Republican legisla-
ture. Holmberg is frequently
spoken of, but it is doubtful if he
would even consider becoming u
candidate for the executive chair
for one moment. He knows too
we'll that the people will resent
the governorship steal at the polls
next year, and after having been
honored as he has with the audi
torship and the treasurership of
the state by the people of Colo
RADIO, he doesn't feel like coming
up for governor and being merci-
lessly showed under as will un-
doubtedly be the case regardless
of who the Republicans nominate
to head their state ticket.

Clay's Review has hit upon a
system that would eliminate un-
just discrimination in the ASSESS
ing Of property if adopted, and
would prevent any favoritism be-
ing shown railroad companies or
cny other large corporations. 1t
suggests that law requiring the
semi-annual, or at least the yearly
publication of the entire assess.
ment roll of all the counties of the
state be passed, so that the people
will know the assessed valuation
of the property of large concerns
and also individual property, and
Gilpin observer., 1905-08-24

will know the amount of taxes be-
ing paid. This would give little
chance for discrimination and
every property owner would be re-
quired to pay taxes according to
the actual value of their holdings.
This scheme would prove particu-
larly beneficial to Denver county,
where the burden of taxation falls
upon the real estate owners and
upon the public utility compan-
les.

A LESSON.

An incident happened on the
streets Of this city last week from
which can be drawn a very good
lesson. A man was standing on
the sidewalk when young girl
CHANGED to pass. He made an in
decent and insulting remark about
the character of the girl, which
was overheard by bystander, who
happened to be a gentleman and
resented the uncalled for attack,
reproaching the party for making
the assertions. An alteration en-
sued, resulting in scuffie, and
the person defending the young
girl was placed under arrest for
committing a breach of peace. A
hearing was given him Wednesday
evening before Justice Hooper.
After hearing the facts connected
with the affair, the judge, of
course, dismissed the case, as the
defendant, while transgressing the
law in starting a row with the
plaintiff, had only done what any
respectable person should have
done, and undoubtedly what any
gentleman would have done un-
der similar circumstances, in
attempting to give the party
passing the ungentlemanly re-
marks good drubbing. When
placed on the stand the plaintiff
could not substantiste what he
had said about the girl, had no
proof whatever to verify what he
had said, and admitted that his
remarks were founded solely on
hearsay. He still possessed suf-
ficient principle, though, to in
duce him to state that he was
sorry for what he had said.
The case related above is not q
singular one by any means, but
one that happens in any commun-
ity. One often hears remarks
made about young girl or woman
detrimental to their character and
reputation that should never have
been uttered and in nine cases out
of ten are utterly false and are
based solely on street talk as in
the above instance. 1t may hap
pen sometime that the girl or
woman that the remark is made
about is not exactly what she
should be, but it is bad enough as
it is without giving it further pub
licity.

"This is good time for Repub-
