The proposition to secure Lin
coins birth place as a national pos
session should and doubtless will meet
with hearty approval from the public
Love and veneration for our real
heroes should be cultivated, and hero
worship might proiitably displace the
growing devotion to the almighty dol
lar.
Tho disposition shown in New
York and Philadelphia to break away
from corrupt bosses in both of the
old and predomnating parties is re-
freshing and invigorating That
merchandise has been made of poll
tics in both of these great centers is
too apparent to admit OF even dis
cussion. and the bold brave, health
ful promising effort to break away
+ from it's baleful influence and disas-
trous results is refreshing. and shows
that underneath is sentiment and
an element which when aroused viii
respond to the best impulses of true
manhood.

Will be truly our day. We like the
disposition to cultivate the most
| friendly relations between the peo-
pie of the different towns of the
western slope, and the opportunities
afforded by the county fairs should
/ be improved. Reports from Glen

neighbors are having a splendid fair,

The contributions of the life in
surance companies to campaign funds
has created such a furry that a
stranger to our system of fighting
political battles would be led TO be-
lieve that contributions We're some
thing new and unheard of. The truth
is these contributions are as much a
result of system we have been toll
Grating, or cultivating for years, as
they are the offspring of error or
viciousness on the part of the in
surance managers. If big campaign
funds had not been used qrior to 1896
the insurance companies would not
have made them that year, and if they
had not been TOLERATED. that year. they
would not have followed in the sue
ceeding campaigns. The public Is
disposed to make scapegoats of the
insurance managers because the fel-
lows were dolts enough to be caught

A Denver judge charges the min
isters of that city with failure to do
their duty in the fight against gam
bling and insists that only two have
exerted an influence beneficial to
the official effort being made to su-
press This form of vice The error
the Judge has probably fallen into,
is the mistake that many make OF
crediting influence and effort to the
spectacular preacher only. While the
minister who handles sensational sub
iects in sensational way serves a
good purpose and arouses some peo-
Pile TO good resolutions and com
mendable acts. II Is the great host Of
less noisy preachers, who rather shun
the limelight of publicity, and day in
and day out, in a less pretentious
manner impress the old, old story of
the cross upon the world. These men
whom the Judge has not met upon
upon the highway of prominent Of
fetal life, are welding an immeasur-
able influence upon the lives and des-
TIMES of untold thousands. and we
venture the assertion that if the
score or more who come under the
criticism OF Judge Mallory were elm
mated from the city OF Denver for
a period of five years, his cry for
help from the church to assist him
in staying the hand of vice would be
longer and louder and altogether free
