Again in 1898 Mr. Guggenheim was
nominated for governor by the Silver
Republican party, with the understand
iE2 that he was to have the nomina-
ton of the regular Republicans also.
He accepted this nomination in let
ter which has never had it's equal in
the history of the state as a clear ard
patriotic exposition of conviction upon
public questions. After the Republi-
cans nominated Mr.. Henry Wolcott for
governor Mr.. Guggenheim withdrew
from the race.
In 1904 Mr.. Guggenheim was a can
didate for elector for President Roose-
welt on the Republican ticket in Colo
rado, and was elected along with the
other Roosevelt electors.
The fact is that Mr. Guggenheim has
spent half of his life in Colorado, hav-
ing come to Pueblo eighteen years ago,
ana during all that time he has been
a citizen, an annual taxpayer and a
constant voter in the state

MR.. GuoGENHEIM's RESIDENCE
IN COLORADO.

Just what campaign speakers aud
campaign newspapers expect to gain
with the people by misrepresentlns
facts is one of the mysteries of our
civilization. That they expect to profit
by such misrepresentation there can
be no doubt. and that they never DO
so profit is equally certain.
One of the favorite statements of
Democratic orators these days is that
Mr.. Simon Guggenheim has only lived
81 Colorado year or SO. Yet every
person who has lived in the state a
dozen years knows this is untrue, and
especially should those campaigning
for Mr.. Adams know that 1t is untrue.
Mr.. Guggenheim was nominated for
acknowledgement in 1896 on the Flu
SION ticket which Alva Adams headed,
and with the full approval of Mr.. Ad-
ans representatives in the fusion conf
mittee.
Mr.. Guggenheim declined to become
candidate for the reason that II
elected he was ineligible to hold the
office, as he had not reached the age
required b. the constitution, viz:
thirty years.

Oriental Pieturesqueness Doomed.


Picturesqueness in costume is doom.
ed Cheap ready-made clothing will
be Its undoing. The British represen-
tatiye at Dar-al-Baida says the Moors
of Morocco are taking more and more
to wearing European clothes in pref
erence to their national dress, and
that as consequence there is a fine
opening for ready-made clothes for
men and women, provided the colors
be bright 1t is possible that adher-
ence to the taste for vivid hues may
cave the situation, but there is danger
that the drummer, in his anxiety to
increase trade, will knock out the
tourist business. says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Nine-tenths of the
attraction that a visit to oriental coun-
tries has for the average traveller is
the picturesque costumes of the inhab-
itants. If they are supplanted by Eu-
ropean togs. and nothing but the dirt
is left. it is doubtful whether the lat
ter will prove powerful magnet to
draw the tourist.

STANDARD OIL FINED.
Ohio Judge overrules Motion for, New
Trial.

Findlay, Ohio.-In Probate Court
here Monday, Judge Banker overruled
the motion filed by the attorneys of
the Standard Oil Company for new
trial and imposed a fine of $4,000 and
costs of the prosecutions in the recent
suit against the Standard Oil Company
here.
On motion of the defense, the court
ordered that the defendant company
be allowed forty days in which to pre-
pare and file its bill of exceptions in
the case, and on another motion by the
standard OIL attorneys, Joseph o.
Iroup of Bowling Green, Ohio, and s..
H. Tolles of Cleveland, the sentence
imposed was ordered suspended for a
period OF sixty days for the purpose OF
Hing a petition of error in this case.
1t was also ordered that the criminal
informations pending against John d.
Rockefeller, the Buckeye Pine Line
Company and the Manhattan Oil Com
pany be continued until the next term
of court. -
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
was the limit for one offense, though
the law stipulates that each day that
the illegal combination business is car
r1ed on constitutes q separate offense.
Iaking this view Of the statutes, il
was possible for the court to impose
an aggregate of fines amounting TO.

Neither the Postoffice Department or
a Republican Congress find any way to
decrease the cost of Transporting the
mails by railroads, although the EVIL
dence is overwhelming that the cost ex-
ceeds a reasonable price for the service
rendered. But when it comes to the
rural route service, extraordinary econ
omy is being observed, there being still
unexpended a balance of nearly one
third of the amount appropriated by
Congress for this service for the fiscal
year. Up to March l 1912 petitions
for the establishment of rural routes
have been rejected and 1924 petitions
are still pending, of which 294 have
been assigned for establishment. If
you desire a rural route urge your
Congressman and Senators to see it Is
established, for there are ample funds
on hand to pay for the service.

money on corporations and trying to

More Haste, Less Speed.

Two years ago Congress left the build
ing of the Panama Canal in the entire
control of President Roosevelt. He
gave out a characteristic announcement
that 'the dirt would fly" but through
bad appointments and careleSss and ex-
travagant management an enormous
amount of money has been spent, with
comparatively no work done towards
completing the canal. In fact its loca-
ton has not yet been actually decided
upon, and the President has thrown
the burden back to Congress of deciding
whether it shall be a sea level or lock
canal.
Congress is wrestling with that ques-
tion, and as the experts differ on the
relative advantages there is still prac-
Congress is probably quite justified in
making a thorough investigation be-
fore deciding upon the type of canal,
although the American and foreign en-
gineers called in by President Roose-
welt decided that question in favor of

All of this shows that the RooSe-
yeltian plan of rushing things" does
not accomplish great undertakings. and
that the old idea of making haste slow
ly is wiser. The old adage of more
haste less speed" was evidently never
impressed enough on President Roose-
welt in his copybook days.
