SOME SHINING EXAMPLES.

Our Democratic contemporary is
obliged to go back to ancient history
to find Democratic leader worthy OF
praise or emulation. If it were not for
Thomas Jefferson who held to moth
ing in common with modern Democ.
racy. what would the party do? The
only president the party has had in
nearly half century is held in con-
office brought with it the greatest PAN
is and the hardest times the country
has ever known. Do the people of the
United States want another such eX-
perience? We think not. Our contem-
porary speaks of the freedom of its
party from corporate and corrupt in
tluences.' Yet there never was an cleo
ton in Montana in which the Demo-
Gratis did not attempt to gain the vic
tory by a corrupt use of money, from
the days of the "big four" until the
present time. In national contests the
party has always relied upon Tam
many Hall, the most corrupt organi-
zation in the world, to turn the scales
in its favor, and just now, the I'M
speakable Hearst, backed by this or
ganization, is seeking to be the next
governor of New York On the other
hand the Republicans have for their
leader Charles Hughes, the clean and
brilliant attorney who conducted the
insurance investigations.
If Democratic traditions and prin.
ciples' have such purifying and en-
nobling effect on the individual how
is it that the recognized leader of the
Democratic party in thte United States
senate, Senator Bailey. has been prov
en- to be the attorney of the Stan.
dard Oil company for the state of Tex.
as, and which was further proven
that he received fee of $225,OO for
his services. He stands for Jefferson.
ian simplicity" the party Of the plain
people" forsooth.
Our contemporary attempts to make
some applications of Democratic tradi
tions to the local situation but they are
far-fetched and vague. By inuendo and
indirection he casts reflections upon
the integrity of some of the Republi
can candidates for office. Man for man
they are the equals of their opponents
in every respect. Those who have rem.
dered the county service have been
conscientious in the performance of
their duties and accusations will have
to be strongly fortified with facts tc
convince the voters that they are I'M
worthy Of their support at the polls.

COLUM BUS DAY
Made Holiday in Colorado by Gov
ernor's Proclamation.

Denver.-On petition of the Italian
residents of the state, Governor Nc
Donald has issued proclamation de-
claring October 18th legal holiday,
and requesting the people Of Colorado
to fittingly observe the anniversary OF
the discovery of America by Christie
pher Columbus. The Italians, in men,
ory of the great exploit OF a native of
their country, presented the governor
with gold pen, with holder elabor-
ately carved and tipped with ebony, to
sign the proclamation.
The celebration of Columbus Day
will follow hard on the heels of the
Pixies Peak Centennial which has just
been celebrated in Colorado Springs,
and the Italians of the state are max
ing great preparations for the festi-
val. Angelo Noce, well known in the
Denver Italian colony, was made
spokesman of his countrymen through
out the state, and with g fitting speech
presented the pen to the governor. Fol-
lowing is the proclamation:
During the present week Colorado
has been celebrating the one hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery Of
Pixies Peak, and it therefore seems
proper that the attention If the people
should be called to the achievements
of Christopher Columbus, the discov-
erer of America, the anniversary Of
which event occurs October 18th. His
is one of the striking characters in his
tory, and i; is right that the Italian
citizens of America SHOULD feel proud
of their distinguished citizen and the
service he rendered mankind.
Therefore, l, Jesse F. Mcdonald,
governor of the state of Colorado, by
virtue of the power and authority
vested in me by law, do call upon the
people of Colorado to observe Friday,
October -. 1906. as Columbus Day.
and to celebrate the event in such
manner as may appear fitting for the
occasion.
IN witness whereof. have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal Of state to be affixed. at Denver.

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or thereabouts. have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse.
for the better il the system is purified by
such n tonic as DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. G. Wedding, of Hartford. KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
81 was seriously ill and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming i'll my head and nervous
troubles.
II was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills nnd decided that would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when I had
tsken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
1 began, resumed my household duties,
aud have since continued i'll tie best of
health. I have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people OIL ac-.
count of what they did for me, and feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs!
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
i'll full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve-
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested III the cure of Mrs We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women," which is free on request.

TAFT is POPULAR.
Rapidly Gaining Favor With the Peo-
pie Of Cuba.

Havana.-Governor Taft's latest
warm place in the hearts OF
been placed in his hands. Presid-
ing Monday at the opening ex-
arcises Of the University of Havana,
he declared that his mission here was
solely for the purpose of uplifting the
fallen republic and restoring it to the
path of prosperity, an announcement
which was greeted with demonstrs-
tions Of delight from an audience rep
resentative OF the highest society Of
Cuba.
Following this it became known that
Mr.. Taft and Assistant Secretary Ba-
con had cabled for their wives to join
them here, step which must be most
agreeable to the Cuban people, and one
which will strongly cement the friend
ship between them and the American
provisional government.
Still another act of Governor Taft
is warmly commended as illustrative
of his thoughtful consideration of the
humber classes. Learning that many
poor families occupying the temporar-
fly disused barracks at Camp Colum-
bia were about to be summarily
evicted by order of the Cuban authori-
ties, in preparation of the occupation
of the quarters by the brigade of ma
rfnes Governor Taft directed that
these people remain undisturbed in
their homes for a period of fifteen
days Meanwhile portion of the ma
rines will remain under canvas.
The order for the eviction had been
issued in the name Of the provisional
government. Upon hearing of the
plight of the present tenants of the bar
racks, Governor Taft went to Camp
Columbia in an automobile, explained
that he had not been aware Of the
conditions and rescinded the order. He
left the camp amid cheers and warm
expressions Of gratitude from the peo-
pie.
The news of this act of humanity
spread rapidly and received the high
est praise. These evidences of Am
erican good will have earned such gen.
eral favorable comment that the land
ing of the battalion Of marines which
will constitute the garrison here
causes hardly a ripple of excitement.

Starch. like everything else. is be-

Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
those of the present day. In the lat

the addition of another ingredient. in

strength and smoothness never ap-
preached by other brands.
Gilpin observer., 1906-10-04

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
