rocks are piled up along the edge of
the cliff, and in some places they are
fifteen feet high
Fifteen Arraners own a rope two inches
thick and six hundred feet long that they
use to pull up driftwood from the foot Of
the crags. About halfway down the face
of the cliff there is a deep cave in the rock
called the Refuge where every Arraner
hunted by the police hides in time of
danger, and 1t takes skilful and brave
man to get to it on a fair day But on a
black night with the wind tearin' at him
and the spray wettIn' him a man wants his
insurance paid up to venture it.
Roger would never have tried to reach
the cave IN such weather, but the police
were 50 close that they would have caught
him If he hadn't gone over the cliff And
when he reached the cave covered with
the cold sweat of fear, he knew that twas
only the prayers of Rose, fifteen miles away
that kept his foot from slippin Roger was
safe from the police, with the shoes tied
around his waist. He lay down on the rock
tired out with the hard work and fell asleep
But while he was asleep the greedy sea
was still chasin' him, and twas only half
an hour before the waves reached Roger.
Soon 1t reached his knees with a gentle hiss
Then 1t reached his waist with a little moan
like that OF sick child and Roger stirred
in his sleep as if disturbed by an ugly
dream. But the next wave was a big one,
and Roger woke with the foam at his hip
He was ankle deep IN the rising tide
Then the water slipped away slowly. and
he rushed to the mouth of the cave but all
he could see was the tops OF the seas that
were heavin' their great shoulders ag in
the quakin rock, and all he could hear was
the terrible roar of their awful hungry
voices. Roger went back to the farthest
corner of the cave and felt for the rosary
in his breast.
All the time Kilmartin was noddin'
before the fire in his house, for he
wouldn't go to bed till he knew that
Roger was safe. He woke with the sound Of
the spray of the risin' tide comm over the
cliffs a mile away, and his groan was that
of a strong man in mortal anguish, for he
knew that Roger was in the cave. He

A SQUARE DEAL ON THE
TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.

The Colorado Statesman has no
fight to make on corporations We
believe in corporate powers and
business. That these large inter
ests are creators of. wealth, values,
prosperity, industry and growth.
In full accordance with these views
this paper advocated and sup
ported the Denver Gas and Elec-
tric, Union Pacific, and Moffat
franchises in the last election. In
the present election another tele-
phone company is seeking a fran
chise at the hands of the people
We have carried the advertise
ments of both companies. We have
placed them squarely before the
people and we ask that they be
given square deal in your vote
There is competition in every bust
ness, trade and profession in Den
yer, and why should not the same
thing obtain with the telephone 2
AS matter of business ethics no
one has right to crush competi-
tor except by fair means. If put.
ting up a better grade of goods
and selling them cheaper than your
rival forces them to the wall, then
they must leave the field. but not
to give them chance to demon
strate their ability and make good
is as unfair in the telephone as in
the shoe or laundry business. In
all of the signers against the new
company you do not find any
colored people, for the reason that
we have felt and know the unfair
ness OF not being given a fair
change. The new company agrees
to give members of all races em.

doors closed against them for nc
other reason than their color, and
to be told that the time has moi
come yet to give the Negro EN-.

and act in accordance with it. On
the same ground as we stood for
the other franchises we stand fo,

There is no question but what

bugie corps and the boys in blue
Wherever the drum corps has gone
and it has gone everywhere-
for when Colorado wants to display
her gallantry and call attention
to her enterprise the Cook Drum
corps is the one means to strike
inspiration and interest to the
Rocky mountain section. The Den
yer delegation are sure to make a
hit abroad with the Drum corps
Besides General Cook was the
one man who so successfully plan
ned and conducted the Grand
Army reunion, held here two years
ago, which brought more people to
Denver and Colorado than has ever
been in our city and state before
or since.
Mr.. Cook would have been
elected as commander in chief Of
the G. A. r. but his modesty and
sense of fairness said that this
honor should go to others who were
more justly entitled by reason of
years and service than himself to
this high Office.
Mr.. Cook has now been called by
the Republican party, with whom
he has been identified since child
hood, to succeed the Honorable
Franklin E. Brooks of Colorado
Springs for the office of congress
man-at-large. There can be no
question that he is the most popu-
lar man in the state to make the
race and there is not the least
shadow of doubt that he will re-
ceive an overwhelming majority
vote.
That Mr.. Cook is close and life
long friend of the colored people
goes without saying, and that the
colored voters of the state will rally
to his standard and put in strong
vote for George w. Cook next Tues
day is wothout any question. 1t is
a pleasure to work for and support
true, tried. dyed-in-the-wool
Republican and Mr.. Cook is one of
these kind.
The Colorado Statesman pledges
you full, strong and willing col
ored vote on next Tuesday. Mr.
Cook. and we now and here con-
gratulate you upon the honor and
place so successfully won and so
richly deserved.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Republican is party with
history Of which it is not
ashamed. Its past record as well
as its present victories is its
crowning glory. 1t is the party
that saved the Republic from dis
union, that wiped out slavery and
resumed specie payments. 1t is
the party that has won the con-
fidence and support of the major
ity of the people of the Nation be-
cause it seeks to preserve national
life and conserve individual inter
ests. 1t is the party that has car
ried out its promises, redeemed its
pledges and discharged its respon-
sibilities regardless of the difficult
ties, abuse, misrepresentation and
villifcation which has been heaped
upon it. The Republican party is
party of the initiative and not
negation. 1t has moved along
paths where no precedent marked
the way. That it had to be eau
tious and painstaking goes with
out saying. That it has been emf
nently successful is beyond ques-
ton.
There are three basic reasons
why the people favor the Republi-
can party in Colorado this year
reasons to which every perceiving
and reasoning voter must assent.
l. The Republican party braved
the bomb and press and stamped
out anarchy in this state. They
alone made it possible for work
men of all shades of opinion, politi-
cal, sociological or religious, to
work when, where and for whom
they pleased, unvexed and unmo-
Tested by lawless characters. This
blessing was shared in by Demo
Gratis, Socialists and others alike,
and yet they criticise the party
that put bread in their mouths and
peace in their homes.
2. The Republican party raised
the money and conducted the fight
that sent ballot box suffers to jail
This great crusade was carried out
in the face of active and harassing
Democratic opposition in the
courts and in the press.
3. The Republican party prom
ised in its platform two years ago
an honest, efficient and economical
administration and it has filed its
promise to the letter. Not a scan
dal has marred its work. Thou
sands of dollars have been saved
by the Republican party in the last
auditors, secretary of states, IN
surance, land, engineer health,
legal and printing departments.
Not a single criticism is heard that
has the slightest basis of fact. To
preserve the peace, protect the life
and property, compel respect for
the laws, uncover conniving elec-
tion frauds, punish wrong-doers,
give clean administration, bust
ness-like tone, an honest reputa-
tion to public affairs, certainly no
more was ever demanded of a
party and no more was ever per
formed by party than was given
to the Republican party in the last
two years. This is the guarantee
for the future But notwithstand-
ing this splendid accomplishment,
no Republican should relax his in
terest in the combat until the last
vote is in the ballot box on election
day. The victory this time should
be a big one We want no more
contests. Let each Republican do
his duty at the polls November 9th
and there will be no shadow of ex-
cuse for a difference of opinion as
to the results. Republican success
means Colorado's prosperity for
another two years.

mission and had a part in smash
ing the big Mitt" political ma
chine of Denver.
Mr.. Riddle took a large part in
preparing the present registration
law to save elections from padded
pole sheets and faithfully stood up
for the law until it was passed by
the last Legislature.
He has also been an indefatigue-
able worker for the amendment to
the state constitution which will be
submitted -ou November 9th to
Colorado voters to permit the use
of voting machines in all cities of
the state having a population of
5000 or over.
Mr.. Riddle is recognized as an
able lawyer, enjoying the utmost
confidence of his legal brethren and
unbounded respect of the people,
who have strong faith in his in
tegrity of purpose and ability as a
trial judge in an eminently credit
able manner
The Republican voters of Denver
should see to it that his name is
not interfered with in voting the
ticket and you are but doing your
duty when you give him your con-
! fidence and ballot.
