A, BAD BOY AND A
LITTLE BLACK KITTY


Walking along the west river bank<
yesterday a man heard the cries of
kitten and, looking to see where thej
came from, saw a speck of black far
cut in the river moving towards the
shore. 1t was the head of the kitter
showing above the water and it was
swimming for dear life, mewing loud
ly all the while. A small boy, who
had thrown 1t as far out as he could,
skulked away from the bank, needless
of the little creatures cries. 1t made
for a clump of overhanging Willows
and caught hold of the first twig 4
reached, but could not climb up -
cause the twig was too small 1t hung
on, irresolute whether 10 let loose
and swim to the shore or keep trying
to climb the twig. The man ran down
to the bridge, crossed and ran along
the bank to where the kitten had last
been seen, but when he arrived it was
gone. Whether it had gotten out or
been chilled to helplessness and was
drowned there was no telling.
The boy who threw the kitten in
should go to the public library and
get the story of Raggylugs and read
it, and then maybe he would be
touched with pity at the tragic end
ing of Raggylugs mother and would
never be guilty of like offense again.

LABOR SCARCE.


The universal cry in San Juan
county Is for hired help. Work is
plentiful. the muscle to perform it is
scarce. A large quantity Of stuff will
go to waste for the lack of hands to
take care of 1t. There never has been
time in the history of the county
when work went a begging to the ex-
tent that II does now. Other parts of
the territory are laboring under the
same difficulties. The East Is over
crowded, but the West short of labor.
Orchardists, ranchers. farmers, con
tractors and builders have but one
cry-more help. This speaks well for
the prosperity of the county, for the
population today is greater than ever
before. but sin with insufficient la

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS MEANS
THE CONTINUATION OF PEACE
AND PROSPERITY.

The main effort of Democratic cam
paign speakers and writer's is to dis
tract public opinion from the issue of
material prosperity.
No sensible person can dispute
prosperity's existence. There never
was time In the history of the
country when labor was so well en-
ployed and at such high wages. There
never was time when the average
American citizen found 1t so easy to
earn a comfortable living for himself
and to provide surplus for luxurles
or as reserve against the possible
needs of the future.
II Is true that there are many things
In our present political and Industrial
system that do not meet the approval
of the fair.minded and thoughtful citi-
zen. But those questions affect the
distribution of wealth rather than Its
existence, and the main proposition
that the nation and the state are pros
porous in a high degree is one that
cannot be disputed.
1t Is also evident that to whatever
degree the conditions of material
progress are affected by political rea-
sons, the Republican party deserves
the credit for this prosperity.
A large majority of the people OF
Colorado expressed their confidence
in President Roosevelt four years ago,
and there is no doubt that II he were
a candidate for president again this
year, he would receive an even larger
majority.
The only way to vote in approval OF
what President Roosevelt has done
and the only way to vote for a con
tinuation of the Roosevelt policy, is
to send to congress Republican con
gressmen. and to elect Republican
majority of the state legislature, who
Will elect Republican United States
senator to take the place of the pres
ent Democratic senator.
So far as the state administration
is concerned it is equally true that II
has been one of the most capable and
one OF the most successful admins
trations that Colorado has evei
known The contrast between the
conditions of former years is mos
startling and the present peace ant
prosperity is most closely connected
with the prevalence of the Republican
policy of strict and impartial enforce
ment OF the laws.
The people of Colorado cannot af
ford to give their approval to an,
more Democratic experiments in ma
tonal administration, and they canno
afford to vote for return of the
Democratic conditions OF unrest, agi
tation and strife in the state.
The only sensible way to vote this
year is to write the word 'Republi
can" at the top of the ballot. and ther
If the individual voter feels civi'
duty to protest against the nomina
