JOLLY CHOPPERS
ENTERTAINMENT
GlenwOOd Camp No. 25l Makes
Merry in an Entertainment
Such as Only WOOdmen
Can furnish
THREE HUNDRED GUESTS PRESENT

One of the most enjoyable events
ever held in Glenwood was pulled off
last night by the Woodmen of the
World, America $ most popular fra
ternal insurance organization. Three
hundred invitations were issued and
judging from the crowd present every
one of them was used, and there was
not one dull moment from the time
the fun commenced at 30 until mid
night.
One of the unique features was,
pipe was furnished to each one, and
the tobacco box was kept on the con-
stant go, and if there is any one that
was present that night that didn't
feel like smoked herring the next
morning it is no fault of the Wood
men. The pipes We're all carried
away as a souvenir of "a night with
the Jolly Choppers -
Kennedy's famous bucking broncho
the Woodmen outlaw, was another
feature that furnished no end of fun.
This outlaw has never been ridden,
and there is standing reward of $500
for the man that will tide him and
from his performance last night it is
safe to say that it will be some time
before any buster in this neck of
the woods will turn the trick.
The Glenwood Mandolin club fur
nished the instrumental music which
was highly appreciated by all lovers
of music. lnterspersed throughout
the evening We're songs, speeches, ad
dresses, recitations. declamations, ex-
clamations, and interrogations, prin-
cipally the latter. and mixed with all
there was considerable sense and non
sense.
A nice bunch of applications were
taken during the evening, and on
July 18th a class of twenty eight will
Ee initiated into the mysteries of
WoodcIaft.
After the entertainment a nice lunch
was served in the banquet hall and
everybody left highly pleased and only
regretting that the evening was not
twice rs long. We are anxious that
this will not be the last entertainment
by the Woodmen, and lucky indeed
will he be who holds an invitation.

A Real Success

THE Pixies Triumph as presen-
ted last Saturday night at the opera
house by the Leadville Elks was an
artistic triumph The sixty
daintily aIrayed children on the
beautifully decorated stage was

program was carried out as perfectly
as though the participants were pro

Mrs. Parker's careful training was

attained and the children We're Ger

FREE WHEAT

The millers are to have their own
way. Every demand of theirs is either
granted or in process of concession by
the authorities at Washington. AL
ready they are empowered to sell the
by-products of imported wheat witlr-
out payment of duty. Now it is an
nounced that they are also to be. per-
mitted to mix imported wheat with the
domestic product and export the flour
thus made without any duty charge.
This covers the whole ground. Prac-.
tically, the miller has absolutely free
wheat.
We should have no quarrel with this
did it not run on all fours with the
rankest hypocrisy and Injustice If
the farmer wants wheat for seed, he
must pay duty on it. The miller is the
only favored party. If the farmer
wants lumber or hardware or any other
article at a lower price through low
cred duty, he is told that -he ought to
pay cheerfully the added cost because
he shares in the advantage of the tariff
system by reason of the duty on
wheat. Yet that duty is utterly abol-
ished where it is supposed to favor
him by treasury rulings. If it ever had
any practical effect, if even the poor
pretense that it protects the farmer
were honest, still it would be COM
pletely negatived and nullifed by the
action of the government Free wheat.
for the goose is not free wheat for the
gander. Will the farmers Of the
Northwest be made sport of Indefinite
ly in this fashion without remon-

LITTLE SHORT OF A CRIME

1t looks as If othe act authorizing
homesteads of $40 acres to be taken
up by one person would actually get
through congress. Interests really
concerned about the settlement and
development of the country have been
laboring for years to achieve land law
reform through repeal of the statutes
that shelter and favor the land Spec
~ulator and the swindler. They have
utterly and egregiously failed. On the
other hand, it needs only the intro
duction of some such monstrous bill
as this in congress to witness its
steady progress to success, unhindered
by all the opposition that sane and
honest men can offer.
Nobody needs to be told that the bill
in question is simply means for get
ting what remains of our public land
into the hands of big corporations by
the speediest possible route. The pro-
hibition attached to the bill that this
shall not be done is rather worse than
nothing. AS a prohibition it is farci-
cal. Its Incorporation actually proves,
by disclaiming, that this is the real
purpose of those behind the move
ment. After all the labors devoted to
the development of the West, and the
expenditure of millions upon irriga-
ton for the sake of providing new
land for homes; after our public do
main has dwindled until it should
have become our most precious re-
source, here comes congress proposing
to cut it up in huge blocks, that it may
be thrown away more speedily to
waiting land sharks and corporations.
What sort of government is it where
such abuses move forward by giant
strides, while reform cannot make an
inch of headway? What is public
opinion doing that it does not compel
congress to forego this rank conces-
sion to greed and monopoly at the ex-
pense of the people?

A CURIOUS DISCRIMINATION

Attention has been called to a sin
lgular difference in the interest of Re-
publican members of this legislature
in different kinds of Investigations.
Some of them are looked on with a
highly favoring eye, and some run up
against an evident disposition to
smother. There are, according to the
opinion of Republican legislators, in
vestigations and Investigations.
For example, the grain and ware
house committee made a favorable
report on a resolution proposing
committee of seven to investigate the
inspection and weighing of grain in
this state. This committee is to have
power to compel the attendance of
witnesses and to be provided with a
clerk and stenographer. We are not
quarreling with the provision of this
elaborate paraphernalia, which may
all be necessary, but desire to put it in
contrast with another inquiry certain
ly of equal Importance.
A resolution was introduced in the
house empowering the committee on
public accounts to employ the neces-
sary accountants and help in perform
ing the duties imposed upon them.
and the author of the resolution ac-i
cepted an amendment confining the
committees authority to the employ
ment of one accountant at a salary of
$40 per day. There was an obvious
determination that there should be no
more inquiries by public authority
than could be avoided into timber
trespasses, mineral land leases and
other unsavory matters connected
with the late Republican administra-
ton and the late Republican cam
paign.
1t looks as if the legislature were
making fish out of one cause and flesh
out of another. Admirable as it may
be to investigate the inspection and
weighing of grain in the state, it is at
least equally desirable to investigate
accounts that have been subject to SO
much contention and furnished mate
rial. for SO many apparently well
founded charges of neglect of duty or
worse. Investigations in both direc-
tons should be pushed and help ade-
quate to the work undertaken should
be guaranteed. The legislature would
seem to need to do a little explaining
to. it's constituents about its attitude
toward these two important branches
of inquiry.
