A circular letter is being given
general distribution throughout the
state, charging almost all of the trou-
bles of the state for the past several
years to the "all hog" condition of
affairs in Denver. We have not seen
the circular and cannot Judge fully
of its contents or intent. Comment
upon it by several influential state
papers is our only source of infor-
nation thus far.

TO SIMPLIFY MATTERS, VOTE
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET AND
YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE.
One would hardly have believed
that our sanity postmaster would
have written what he has in the pres
ent campaign anent the law enforce
ment league. The junior member of
that editorial duo is charged with
the weak compositions that have at
tempted TO answer the law and order
column; but. from what we have
learned. he is not responsible. 1t
was question which one could keep
clear of the facile pen of Bro. Becker
and the decision fell upon the post
master. 1t is hardly to be wondered
at that he hied himself to Denver for
a short rest.
In many great cities the question
WHO'S your neighbour" is an un-
answerable conundrum. In many
places now one hardly knows who or
what are your friends. A daughter
of the king of Belgium lives in one
room in a Chicago boarding house.
Mrs. Scott Smedley was a petted dar-
ling of the rather nondescript exclus-
i've Denver society; while one Marin
of Philadelphia was the head of a
great brokerage concern, formerly
considered respectable, but now con
victed of robbing everybody. The
less we inquire into the conditions of
less we will be.
big revolt is on against Colorado
Springs machine politics. number
of non-partisan organizations have
united with the democrats to clear
that city of the corruption that has
reigned supreme there for num-
Der of years. The machine politi-
clans of the republican party have
simply owned that beautiful city. and
they have gotten quite angry. in
deed. don't you know. because any
one else has the presumption to at
tempt to oust them and place hon
est men in Office. But. it looks as
though the arrogant machine is to
be taught lesson in the Springs. at
least that is what all good citizens
are hoping for in the coming munich
pal election.
We regard the best estimate which
can be placed upon mans ability
to serve the people can be CLEANED
from the manner in which he tran
sacts his private business affairs. AS
has been stated quite few times
since the campaign began, democra-
cy endeavored TO select men for al
dermanic honors whose business
ability commended them to the gen
eral public. In w. NJ. Smith of the
White Mercantile Company and w.
II. Bannister, proprietor of the Ban
mister furniture emporium. the dem
ocratic convention believed they had
made wise selections. Both men are
conservative, cautious, vet progress
i've business men. Very generally,
we believe, the citizens would expect
of them wise expenditure of the pub
lie funds and alertness in conserv-
ing every other dollar. IL is Just
such an element. which too often il
is hard to induce to accept, which
the public wants in official position.
The opportunity is now presented to
secure such men and we believe the
voters are sensible enough to see the
necessity of electinS Messrs Bannis-
ter and Smith.
