This agreement made and en-
tered into this 9th day of May,
1905, by and between Roy Camp
bell, contractor, party of the first
part, state of Colorado, and School
District No 3, Conejos County,
Colorado, party of the second part.
"Witnesseth: That whereas the

} Who's Tails Twisted
The Chronicle Presents Facts
the People Will Judge as to
Who Is the Liar"

For once The Chronicle must
acknowledge itself in error and
make due apology. 1t is not often
that we fall into grievous error, but
all are liable to mistake, and even
The Chronicle is not immune We
erred last week in stating that
"Mallett- Wallrich repudiated their
bonds through tiimsy legal tech
nicality." In all due humiliation
The Chronicle wishes to correct
the false impression created by its
former utterance.
There was no ''fiimsy legal tech
nicality" That is where we got
off. We had supposed the aggre-
cation had conjured up some legal
technicality to hedge themselves
about by at least a shadow of self
protection, but even that will-o'- the
wisp has vanished. Evidently con-
fident in their self-sufficiency, or
depending upon the gullibility of
Dthe people, an iron-clad contract
and bond was entered into which,
from legal or moral standpoint,
could allow of no escape.
There was no illegal technicality"
nor fire escape" attached to the
bond or contract for the construc-
tion of the school house at Alamosa,
in district No. 3, as will be seen by
the complete record published be-
low.
The following is complete
record of the contract and bond:

Was it not "A patent medicine

Something that's ditferent?' Or
was it disreputable divorce law
yer, who appealed to possible clients
because of IA presumed desire for
something different? No matter
which point of view may be ac-
cepted, the theory underlying the
fact remains the same in every
vital principle.

wherever that may be located, to
evolve a paraphrase not only cal
culated to attract the attention but
excite the risibilities. In glariug
type it runs as follows:
The paper that is different"
There are some things not neces-
sary to advertise. For instance,
venality, degeneracy or criminality
do not desire to get under the arc
light of publicity, Rather they
seek the seclusion and haunts of
their own ilk and are content to
come forth in the night and per
form their nefarious deeds. "Soapy
Smith did not need blare of
trumpets to show that he was ''dif-
| ferent." His innumerable victims
quickly realized the fact. So, too.
in religion we have Dowie's and
others who are different" but the
more publicity they gain the more
certain is their downfall.
But here we have a newspaper
with apologies to the craft which
announces itself as different" We
concede the corn. 1t is-very much
so. Different from any Legitimate
publication of which We have
knowledge. 1t is fully entitled to
the phrase and should have it copy
righted.
1t is different in number of
respects. Webster says that a
newspaper is a sheet of paper
printed at stated intervals for the
purpose of conveying the news.
The Courier certainly is different" "
in this respect, fact SO palpable
as to emphasize its claims. Then
again the United States postal laws
state that a newspaper is legiti-
mate publication of general circu-
lation. So once more the Courier
is different"
These are merely incidents, how
ever. The real difference lies in
its editorial and general staff
Think of the two M's-Mallett and
Mieir-bending over their desks
for weary hours, vainly searching
for an inspiration. Or Molletta
desperately culling Boccaccio for IA
legal precedent to be used in some
long hoped for case. Or Braiden,
like the small boy with new watch,
trying to dissect Scotch bagpipe
to learn from whence it secured its
inexhaustible supply of wind. Or
Hamilton-w we'll, Hamilton just
looks wise and lends the charm of
his personality to the editorial
sanctum-a very valuable adjunct
! in making things look different"
| And Stuart. Oh, he is out in the
back Office washing rollers, chewing
the bitter cud of reflection and
wondering why he didn't have
gumption enough to realize that
things would be different"
f! Guess the sheet has the right tag,
for sure.

Can any tair-minded man tell
me why 1t is that a few national
bankers should be the only citi-
zens of this country who can walk
up to the United States Treasury
and borrow S66,000,000, without
interest?
Where is the justice of it2
How can it be defended as a
Governmental policy?
The state banks have as good a
right to borrow from the Govern
ment as the national banker has.
The merchant has as much
right as the state banker; the lum-
Der dealer has as much right as
the merchant; the mine owner has
as much right as the lumber
dealer, and SO on, down the line.
Why should just a few financial
pets be chosen for the enormous
benefits of loan of S66, 100000 of
public money without INTEREST,"

eating the idea of assassination.
There would be this protection
under the plan: They could in
many cases be transported be-
yond the power to do harm be-
fore they had killed some ruler.
If their idea of government IS
good they should be able to DEM
onstrate the fact when placed in
possession of the opportunity to
test it to the fullest extent, with
no one to interfere except men
of their own cult. Their absence
would not in any way impair the
happiness of the people of the
existing governments, and would
lift load from the shoulders of
the police power of all countries

cred for some time, but it is sure
that they would be given away
sooner or later if they continued
to teach their doctrine of murder.

IT would seem that young wo-
man who was compelled to listen
to the mercenary demands of some
scion of European nobility, in
order that she could marry him,
would become disguised with
such an individual and wonder if
there was any real love in the
matter at all. A dispatch from
Pittsburg tells of the demands
made by an attache of the
Austrian ambassy in Paris uDon
the parents of his hancee, young
Pittsburg woman. before he would
consent to marry her. He was
offered a hundred thousand, but
held out for two hundred and
fifty thousand. Which he Sc
cured. If any young American
woman anticipates happiness
from such marriage she had
better call it off before it occurs.
The instances are not rare but
many of disillusloned young
American women. Gov. Levi P.
Morton should have the exper-
fences of his daughter with one
of the d French brutes pub
lished IN circular form for the
protection of young American
women with money. But then
what good would it do. Every
ancient and very fat mamma
would jump into the same pot,
simply TO be recognized as the
mamma of some titled snob and
roue. There is no use giving
warning, these degenerate and
unprincipled scoundrels bearing
a lordly name usually get what
they go after and their care for
the young women who have sold
themselves is on par with the
brutality of the contract demands
anticipating the marriage.-Grand

SEVEN out of the ten weekly

SEVEN out of the ten weekly
newspapers in Colorado at the
present time, regardless of which
political party they belong to, are
denouncing bossism, and Partlc-
ularly the brand they have over in
Denver. Evidently this is the
year when the political boss in
Colorado is going to learn that he
is not the whole thing as to who
shall hold office and who shall
not. If the boss gets busy previ-
Gus to election day, and in the
various conventions, then his pet
candidates will get it where
majority of the chickens get the
axe-in the neck. This is to be
a bad year for states, dark lantern
deals, bossism and centralized
party dictations. Bust the COM
bines.-Rifle Reveille.

REPUBLICAN papers of the cor
poraton brand are now alleging
that County Treasurer Badgely,
of Denver, was bounded to his
death by the yellow newspapers,
meaning the Patterson papers
particularly. The facts are that
the treasurer, who was i'll, in
sisted on going down to his Office
to see how criminally it had been
managed. He discovered enough
to lead him to discharge his chief
clerk at once, and the disclosures
so worked on his mind that the
excitement caused death. The
treasurer would hardly blame the
men who put him next to the
grafters who were utilizing his
illness to barter away his reputa-
ton. 1t takes gall for the gang
to abuse the men and papers who
are showing them up as thieves
and rascals. One would think it
time for them to sing small.

ANARCHISTS IN SPAIN.

The attempted ASSASSINATION of
the king and queen OF Spain on
their wedding day arouses thought
as to what means could be devised
to quell these terrorists. 1t is
easy to understand and partially
sympathize with those who seek
the lives of some rulers. The
many attempts to blow the
Romanoff family into kingdom
come do not produce much feel
ting of resentment against the
perpetrators of the crime, because
the ruler has furnished plenty of
incentive for its commission.
But in the case of the young
king of Spain and his bride, who
by the way had but just shown
the tenderness of her heart by
demanding and receiving elem
ency for two men who were
about to be executed, there seems
absolutely no excuse for the das-
tardl ly act. The sort of rule to be
furnished by the young couple
was as nearly unknown as could
be imagined. They may in time
prove to be the wisest and most
humane of all Europe's poten-
tates.
Anarchists are at war with the
ruling class. They effect to dis
believe in all law, holding that
men properly educated need no
law to keep them in bounds.
And laboring under this idea they
seem to feel an unnatural enmity
for those whom society sees fit to
vest with governmental power.
Only the other day it is claimed
that a plot to assasslnate our own
President was discovered among
anarchists upon the Pacific slope.
All these things naturally
cause the thoughtful to seek a
remedy. 1t is not to be found in
executions of the anarchists. In
practically every case where they
flourish they are absolutely sure
to meet with death if they at
tempt to carry out plot against
government.
They seem 20 thrive on perse-
cution, it we may use the term in
describing the penalties meeted
out for their crimes. Some other
corrective must be found, and
one that suggests itself to the
writer is not outside the capa-
bility of the nations to invoke.
Why should not huge island

THE NEARING.

A notice sign4d by Colonel w. r.
Livermore of the War Department
was served on members of the Board
of Freeholders, THIS morning, direct
ing the removal of the present Amboy
bridge for space Aof 500 feet south
of the draw and NO feet north of
the draw, and the building of steel
spans and new DRAW, the work to
be completed within two years from
December Is next, when the work
of removal is to be fiilished.
A hearing is to be hold at Col. Liv-
ermore's headquarters in room Ms
in the Army Building. l39 Whitehall
street, New York, February IA, at 1 l
O'Clock.
The notice directs that:
THE existing trestle ill the bridge
be removed for distancel of 11O feet
north of the draw and 600 feet south
of the draw, the work of tremoval to
be completed by December 18th,

draw, and three open spaHs of 110
feet each to be placed on the north of
the draw and two of $50 feet each
on the south of the draw; the work
to be completed in two years.l
The service of this notice is pre-
sumed to have been brought about,
partly at least, through the efforts of
the manufacturers, inasfar as they
are representer by c. A. Bloomfield.
Freeholder John f. Montgomery
of South Amboy, said after the notice
had been served on him, }'lf the
bridge was completed, we'd cross
over it, notice or no notice. It's a
shame, a downright shame, tolhinder
the bridge as has been done"
This notice holding up the bridge
follows right on the heels 'of "a fotlce
served by the C. Pardee Works upon
the freeholders and the contractors
ordering them to vacate their land
that is, not to build any part of the
approach over the property owned by
them.
1t is believed that the city will
have the needed land condemned.
