E. M. Gets could not get elected
for dog pelter, and that is what we
are anxious to accomplish. The
way to reform county affairs is TO
elect good men. A hideous mis-
take was made when the present
chairman of the board was nomi-
mated and good republicans have
called at this office and expressed
their regret. some who helped
place him on the ticket. All this
work will tell in the next cam

put Gets on their ticket. Paste

WHEN Colorado manufactured
no sugar at all it was 26 per cent
cheaper to the consumer than it is
now, when we are manufacturing
millions of pounds every year.
Take off the Philippine tariff and
give the consumer a show for his
money. The trust owns the pro-
duct and as usual the consumer is
getting jobbed. A few farmers are
benefited and everybody else gets
soup. If we have to pay one
fourth higher price.for sugar be-
cause it is manufacturing at home,
then we say quit manufactured it

IT will be a matter of regret to
hear that A. Wetzel, the old SOL
dier who has SO long acted as
guard in the capitol building, has
been displaced in favor of some
favorite of the present capitol
gang. Mr.. Wetzel was one of the
most pleasant and accommodating
gentlemen whom we have ever
met, and his fund of knowledge
about the great state building
made tour of the same very easy
to strangers. He lost an arm at
Gettysburg and being incapacita-
ted for ordinary labor, held his job
straight through all the demo
cratic administrations to lose it at
the hands of one that is headed
by a man who was never elected
to the Office he holds.

AT Telluride the state labor
commissioner was unable to adjust
the differences between the mine
owners and the miners. The

make the men sign certificates to
the fact that they are scabs. What

THE Paonia Booster, which we
understand, has been considering
the advisability of moving to
Crawford in order to exc out an
existence awhile longer, gave us
a little advice, editorially, last
week. Coming from the source
it does makes it rather amusing.
We are still doing business at the
same old stand and are not look
ing for a sunny spot amid the
dolby" hills of any other COM
munity as yet.-Delta Indepen-
dent
Realizing fully that we have no
chips in the above game we cannot
help buttlng in long enough to say
that the above reference to "adobe
hills" should greatly stimulate the
Independent subscription list in
the Crawford Maher country.
Still, as the Independent has no
list to speak of, but depends solely
on patent medicine houses and the
county treasury for its existence,
we presume they care very little
for the support that decent papers
cater to in the rural districts.
Pimping for E. M. Gets and the
county attorney evidently pays
better than running newspaper
in Delta. Still we consider it
id poor business for an Ala
bama democrat to engage in.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTE.

SCVCIdl llulCS III ShS pooS I'LL VI
twelve years we have called atten-
ton to the rapidly growing inde-
pendent vote. 1t is easily within
the memory of most men of today
that only a few years ago the
party lines were very strong.
About twenty-five years ago there
began the break from party lines
in the case of minor officials. This
sentiment grew till some very
important offices were involved.
Men said that honesty in the pub
lie service cut much more ice than
politics.
In 1890 and from that time on
the sentiment grew by leaps and
bounds. Independence in politics
was becoming respectable. Prior
to that time to confess that one
had scratched a ticket was to con-
fess to something that lost caste
for the voter. If a man was a
democrat he was expected to vote
the ticket from top to bottom
even if the devil was nominated
for an important office. And what
was true of the democrat applied
with equal force to republicans.
When the populist party was
established it went the length in
psrtizanship. We saw a Farmers
Alliance in Nebraska assemble at
their lodge room the morning of
election, form in column and
march to the polls, each member
carrying his ticket previously
marked straight alliance" in his
hand. There he deposited it under
the eye of the presiding officer of
the local lodge. They carried the
state. 1t was the most superb
organization we ever observed, but
it was blamed poor citizenship.
We have steadily held editorial
ly that the independent voter was
the hope of the nation. The inde-
pendent voter is the one who
possesses sufficient intelligence to
examine into the merits of candi-
dates, discriminate between them
and select those who if elected
will honestly discharge the duties
of the position.
Now in this year of our Lord,
1905, we rather enjoy hearing that
New York is liable to turn down
Tammany Hall and elect Hearst,
the peoples champion, that Ohio
and Pennsylvania are not safe for
the regular republican ticket but
that the reform element is SO
firmly seated in the saddle that it
looks like defeat for the organiza-
ton.
Politicians might as we'll look at
this matter as it is. The people
will not longer take a dose that
nauseates them. From now on in
order to win it will be necessary
to put up something besides
gangsters. You can no longer
compel obedience to the party
whip. Even a presidential candi-
date cannot longer secure the
solid support of his party unless
he suits the units of the party
Parker VS.. Roosevelt proved that
Again we reiterate that in this
independence is to be found the
greatest possible argument that a
republican form of government is
not a failure. The people are
slow to avail themselves of their
privileges but they may be de-
pended on to get to the front in
time.

BUT THE METER DID
NOT QUIT ITS GRIND

Candles and kerosene lamps were at a
premium in the Eighth ward for three
or four hours last evening. The gas,
in certain distrncts, refused to flow,
and as a result there was darkness
until $3.50, when it finally began work
ing again. ~.-..
2 The strike began just before the sup
per hour, and many families with gas
stoves were obliged to hustle for fuel
to get up steam in the kitchen range.
As it grew dark the heads Of fami
lies began to experiment with the light
ing fixtures. Gas meters were inspect
ed, each thinking the trouble purely
local. The corner groceries did a thriv-
ing business in candles.
just how many futile revolutions
were made by the little money wheels
in the gas meters is hard to say. Hun
dreds Of burners were left open for
an hour or more, and while they were
blown nothing but air, the wheels in
the basement were grinding merrily.
At last the light began to come and
the candles were laid away. :.
The trouble came from the extension
