IN THE INTEREST OF
THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
Bureau TO BE ESTABLISHED i'm Washing
ton to Assist In Passing Good Laws.

Bureau to Be Establishd i'm Washing
ton to Assist in Passing Good Laws.
The Peoples. Lobby, which has
been rganized to operate at Washing
ton to further the passage of good
laws in the interest of the whole peo-
pie, has been definitely determined
upon with regard to personnel and
plans, and is ready to begin opera
tions with the present congress. Writ
ing of the movement in Success Mag
azine, which has been furthering the
project, Samuel Merwin says:
There can be no excuse for any
sort of secrecy in the work of the
bureau. 1t is based on the belief
that there is no reason why any de-
tail of the legislative work of this
republic should be kept hidden. 1t
assumes that evasion of the light is
an unhealthy symptom And, ami
mated by this spirit, it can do no less
than keep all its own records open,
all the time, to any magazine, any
newspaper, any citizen or body of cit
liens.
These records will be made up of
facts, not of opinions. In so far as
they will go to fix the full personal
responsibility of senators and repre-
sentatives for the work of congress
and it's committees, the reports will
be based wholly on their public acts.
The Peoples Lobby is not interested
in personal or political gossip. But
every state and district has a right to
scrutinize the work of its representa-
tives in ongress, as has an employer
to scrutinize the work of his en-
ployes. There is nothing in the
slightest degree personal about this.
No honest man can object to a record,
compiled thoroughly and accurately
from official sources, of his public
acts--of precisely what he has said
and how he has voted on every ques-
ton that has arisen during his term
of Office, all brought together in con-
else form and stated in uncompromis-
ingly simple terms. 1t should be
seen from this, that the Peoples s
Lobby is starting out without the
slightest feeling of antagonism for
congress. These records will be an
inestimable help to the upright inde-
pendent congressman. AS to the dis
honest congressman-and 1t is with
regret that we employ the term-the
records will probably hurt him.

HE CALLED HER "DEAREsT.-

Shortly hfter Mrs. Frances Hodg
son Burnett's book, Little Lore
I Fahntleroy, appeared she went with
E her two little boys TO a seaside motel
The story had made great sensation
and there had ensued a regular cpl
demic of Fauntleroy curls, Fauntleroy
suits and Fauntleroy youngsters. In
the room next to that occupied by Mrs.
Burnett was a dashing, rather over
dressed widow, with red-haired,
bullet-headed son, of about sene, who
was the terror of the hotel. Antici-
pating the arrival of the famous au-
thor, his mother had purchased a
complete and elaborate Fauntleroy
outfit, with which she proceeded to
deck out her unappreciative and re-
bellious offspring.
Not content with this outward
seeming, the woman desired to COM
plete the caricature by compelling
her precious child to address her as
dearest" after the manner of the
hero of tn beook, instead of 'mom-
mer," or, more frequently, merely
say" as had been his previous GUS
tom.
Mrs. Burnett had arrived no soon
er than she had expected, but appar-
emily before little Johnny had entire
ly completed his course of instruc-
tion in filial courtesy, as was evil
dent by the sounds which penetrated
the thin lath and plaster partition
between the rooms. This Is what Mrs.
Burnett heard:
JOHNNY"
Silence.
Johnny, do you hear me?"
Silence.
Call me 'Dearestl'"

'Will you call me Dearest or
shall make you?"
Yer can't make me-"
Yes | can. Call me 'Dearestr

hrisfn,as Travel.

Holiday travelling, particularly at
hristmas time, is pleasant and a
stirring thing. The conductors, mo-
tormen, and brakemen are CHEEKY.
The crowds of passengers and sight
seers have removed the asperity of
their elbows, and the foolish haste
from their steps. All journeyings on
trolley car and steam car the hour
long wait in parboiled stations, the
changes at draughty iunctions-all
the taxing, racking details of travel
are oiled, as 1t were, with sudden
amenity.
1t is possiblef for each traveller to
contribute his drop to the tide of good
will. In a patked train it will be
helpful to hold fhe ticket in readiness
for an over-yyorked conductor, who is
not materiadly benefited by waiting
for "a passehger to search nine pock=
cts and a fderby hat for pink trip

SUCH A CHANCE
RARELY OFFERED

Our property. seven full claims, is

foot hills of the La Sale mountains
in the extreme southwest corner of
Mesa county, colorado. The strike
extends northwest by southeast, is in
the carbonacious shales, blue lime
being the country rock. with quartz
tiles and eruptive periphery between
walls. The deposit is mostly an
aqueous capitalization, consisting of
sulphates, oxides and carbonates in
contact or separated with blue lime.
The vein varies from Z to is feet in
width and extends the length of the
entire property. Assays run from
10 per cent copper and 10 ounces in
silver to so per cent copper and 200
ounces of silver, besides about 49,

having spent many thousands of dol
lars, and find that the vein contin-
ues to hold its value and increases in
of carbonate of iron, within our own
lines, parallels it below and an ex-

are the oily fluxes needed to reduce

successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
This is still in our way, but we have
remedied a part of it and now have
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary machinery.
One-third of all the stock was
placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means to
bridge any necessary expense, but
only small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that as soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will Immediately place
themselves on paying basis, now
that the price of their products have
nearly doubled.
This is an opportunity to get in on
the ground floor with the original
owners, who have borne the heat and |
burden of the day in times past, when
prospecting rock cost money.
Secure some of this rock and aid |
in developing one of the greatest cop
per producing propositions known to
exist in the United States, and watch |
your bank account grow and the |
stock go up as the shaft goes down. |
We will be glad to have our property |
inspected at any time, as it will much |
more than bear out any of these |
statements. But don't neglect to |
come in and reap with us, as there
are thousands of tons of high grade
ore ready to ship as soon as this road |
can be completed. and the harvest |
viii be great.
Treasury stock is now offered at
15cents per share, owing to the great |
necessity for this road. When we
have accomplished that the stock |
must Immediately advance, as the
mines will at once become a paying |
proposition, which means at least so |
cents for the stock. Now is the time
to help us and yourself. and this is
the last offer at this price.
