MEETS WITH
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL

Denver, Sept %. 1906.
Since the selection of the commit
tee has been made announcing thu
Henry A. BIchtel is to be the Re
publican candidate for governor o.
Colorado. scores of papers from al
parts of the state have bsen received
at hearquarters in Denver 7howirg
that the candidacy of DR.. Bl1htcl has
met with unanimous approval in
these papers and not only has the
approval been unanimous. but IL has
been enthusiastic. There is not n
discordant note throughout the entire
state. These papers point out that
| DR.. Buchtel is an ideal candidate, and
all Republicans are united for him
for governor of Colorado. There has
| never been candidate who was re.
ceived by the people with such en-.
thusiasm as has been accorded DR..
Buchtel. These papers point with
pride to the fact that DR.. Blchtcl is n
man of blameless personal life, and
that the doctor has been a construc-
ZIONIST. He Is man who does things
and the Impress of his life has been
left upon the people of the state
There is something pathetic, too, in
the way the Lindseyites have taken
the naming of DR.. BuchteI. Now that
DIR. Buchtel has been placed before
the people as the candidate Of the
Republican marty. IL is clear tn tho
Lindseyites that they have nothing To
offer the people of the state in the
wav of a candidate that is not f;,Ilv
supplied by the candidacy of Dr
Buchtel. The reforms urged nv Rem
Lindsey are urged nv DIR Buchtsl
Or. Buchtel is n practical reformer
and a practical business man. DR.
Buchtel Is not dreaming of things "a
Lindsey is. He is doing things. He
has always done things. Lindsey has
conceived the idea that the governor
Of the state is the man who passes
all the laws and then executes them.
DIR. Buchtel knows that laws are
passed by the legislature and he is
preparing to present his reform to
the legislature so that they Will be
considered by that body.
From every part of the state dur.
ing the past few days have come let.
tors from Republican leaders and
from the rank and file of the party,
praising the selection of DIR. Buchtel

The selection of DR.. Buchtel was to
the camp of the Democrats like thun-

NEW FAsHIoNa1N RINGS.
Stone Dependent From Circle of Gold
 Silver as Ring Metal


 Stone Dependent From Circle of Gold Silver as Ring Metal. A very pretty and fanciful looking finger ring, that is one of the advance couriers of the Christmas present sea- son, has made it's appearance in the ,, shop of prominent London jeweller It is an ordinary circlet of gold set , with small cluster of gems, and from 1t depends slender little gold chain, from which hangs a specimen pearl, pear shaped and of an exceedingly lustrous and satinlike skin" The op- portunity of thus giving prominence to a specially beautifully stone, such as ruby, an emerald or an opal is great and the effect good. The chain is only two inches long.
 Silver, the old favorlte setting for diamonds whose dustre 1t was former ly held particularly to enhance, is be- ing revived as a ring metal A very thick and broad silver ring is sold for a mans wear, set upright with a ruby, diamond and a ruby.
 A companion ring for a woman to wear upon her Title finger has Q trio of October's stone, the opal, set at an acute angle across the broad band. The silver is absolutely plain and it looks very effective, A silver serpent ring is another hark back to a form of ornament fashionable many years ago, with big rubies or emeralds for eyes and smaller stones sprinkled over the tail.
 Cross over gold rings, so-called be- cause they are set with couple of large gems, one curved to the right and the other to the left, are popular as the symbol of bettrothal, and diamonds are almost invariably the gems required for such a tender badge of love.-From the London Daily Mail

POLITICAL PATRONAGE IN AUS
 TRALIA.

POLITICAL PATRONAGE IN AUS
 TRALIA.
 Instead of allowing public servants to prescribe the amount of salary each is to receive, to badger ministers for appointments, and to threaten consci- entious members with defeat at elec- tions, each state parliment has trans ferred the appointment, control and remuneration of civil servants to an Independent tribunal, constituted for the purpose, called "The Public Service Board" The Board is composed of three members lrremovable, like our Higher Court judges, except by the vote of both houses. It inquiries into the qualifications of applicants, deter mines (like our Civil Service Commits sion) the nature of the examination held for the higher classes, regulates (by comparison with the wages paid by private employers for similar work) the remuneration for each class, re- comments all appointments and pro- motions, and hears all appeals and complaints.
 It will be perceived that the board forms a substantial buffer ministers and legislators and the agtators who would fain poster them, The idea of such a protection may have been taken from the famous "Jorkins" in David Copperfleld," except that the Austra- lian Jorkins actually and effectually discharges the functions attributed to him. As a matter of fact, and Austrail- 1 ian Minister safely snaps his fingers at all threats of public servants, or perhaps blandly explains, in the best 1 Spenlow manner, how helpless he is in the matter in the face of the obduracy of the board When Vt is remembered that the Australian railways are state | property, and that not long ago every eighth man in Victoria was in govern ment service, 1t will be seen how val uable is the diversion afforded.

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY"
 VOIjVFD.

VOJVED.
 At first sight, marriage between an English duke or French count and an American heiress indicates a world wide proclamation of "social equality" because of the nobility Of the older so- ciety and the plutocracy of the newer. Yet true social equality remains alb- sent. No one ever heard of an Ameri- can man, a plain "Mr." however rich, marrying an English duchess or a con- tinental countess. The aristocratic. so- ciety of the old world has a use merely for the rich American girl, and the rea- son Is transparent She can be ab- sorbed into that society almost as cas- fly as her millions; her American na- tionality is lost with her original name, and her children will be reared as the posterity of the titled husbands ances- tors. Miss Letter of Chicago could marry Lord Curzon; Miss Vanderbilt of New York likewise the Duke of Marl- borough. But imagine brother Joseph Letter marrying a widowed English ,marchioness, or w. K. Vanderbilt or his nephews winning the hand of any available dowager duchess, or her daughter in the kingdom.
 There is, then, no real ''social equali- ty" established by these international marriages. They are altogether one sided and so managed as to maintain the more exclusive social order upon the money chest of the western democ- racy. Then, Dick and Harry of New York and Chicago still have to content themselves with the girl across the street, while their sisters alone may hope to marry the person of title and of ancestors from London and Paris. This condition of affairs does not arouse the slightest feeling of indigna- ton; We do not cry out against it as an insult to our noble American manhood. By no means It is simply curious state of affairs carrying droll social boycott against the sons of our million aires; at the same time, it makes clear the real motive for international mar .riages.
