The Republican Platform...The

1.-THE Republican party OF Colorado
IN convention assembled hereby reaf-
firms its allegiance to the national or
sanization and it's adherence to the
principles OF the national party as
promulgated in its successive plat
forms.
"Wo heartily indorse the patriotic

dent Theodore Roosevelt. We re-
joice with all other Republicans that
the chief of our party enjoys unlim-
tied confidence of the American peo-
pie, md that his brilliant and effective
craftsmanship has won the admiration
and respect of the whole civilized
world.
We commend the Republicans Of the
National Congress for the unprece-
dented amount of wise and wholesome
Legislation accomplished at the last

structlve legislation unsurpassed by
any former session of the American

regions three years ago were the direct
outgrowth of Socialistic and anarch-
istic sentiment fostered and ercour-
aged by the present supreme dictator.
and other leaders of the Democratic
party in this state for the purpose of
influencing the labor vote. The condi-
tions then existing called for the exer-
else of the most drastic governmental
powers for the defense OF our institu-
tions and the restoration OF law and
order Such powers were exercised by
a Republican administration under the
natural and constitutional rights of
necessary self-defense, which belongs
to governments as we'll as to individ-
uals. Time has fully demonstrated the
wisdom of the policy pursued. The
determination of anarchy and the re-
storation of law and order have been
followed by two years of profound in
dustrial peace. during which period
the people of the state have enjoyed
unexampled prosperity in every de-
partment of industry.
"A return to power of the Demo
cratic party, under the undispute ed

The National Debt.

Only about $1SO,OOO,00O of the pres
ent bonded debt of the United States
is redeemable within three years, and
there should be no difficulty In paying
that amount within the period, says
the Bankers Magazine. More than
Sis, 100000 is not redeemable for
nearly 10 years, while nearly $596OOO,-
900 has "a years to run. 1t is true that
the government has reduced the rate
of interest. In 1894 $25.00O,O0O OF the
debt bore 2h per cent. $50,OOO.OOO
five per cent. and the remainder four
per cent. Now $235,OO0,OOO bears four
per cent. about s64 100000 three per
cent and nearly $596,O00,OOO two per
cent. OF the longtime bonds, how,
ever, the interest on 100000 to
maturity will amount to rs per cent
of the face value, and on the $59G,OOO,.

The Motor.Eye.

To the Academy-neck, the bridge
brain, and the cycle-arm. must now be
added the motor-eye. and the wonder
is that it has remained unnamed and
undiscovered till "Marmaduke" has,
this week, introduced 1t in the
"Graphic,' where it is written that
the medical profession has. to deal
with. 1t appears that those who are
continually rushing through the coun-
try in a motor-car cause the eye to
take too rapid impression of the
things it encounters, and that this
affects the mechanism of the eye. Ma
ture did not prepare US for the con-
ditions of modern times, and while it
is adapting itself to them many un-
foreseen circumstances must occur"
But nature has at all events been good
to us in this respect. that whenever
there is need for the coinage of a new
term the talent is always at hand to
supply it. And when 1t Is the name OF
a new malady, then this talent rises
to positive genius. with the result that
the nations vocabulary increases by
leaps and bounds.

THE INDEPENDENT
New Army Bullet.

II would seem that in the type Of
bullet about to be adopted by the
army there is a potent argument for
peace This bullet is a third light
er than any now in use, but 1t Is
most deadly. Its penetrating power Is
such that at a mile it would pass
through is men, If these had the
mischance to stand in line in front
OF it. At short range, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, it will go through 80
inches of seasoned oak. At 500 yards
80 inches of white pine fail to stop
1t, and at 1000 yards it is equal to
piercing 14H inches. The day when
safety lies in lodging behind a tree
appears to be passing. The strong
point about this admirable bullet is
the fiat trajectory. With the present
style of bullet, fired at a target 1000
yards distant, one could stand with
perfect immunity at many points be-
tween the muzzle and the target, as
at so yards the missile would pass
II feet over his head. The new bull
let shows a ten-foot rise at this dis
tance. Almost the entire space
between muzzle and target would be
zone of danger. Only one fault is
found by experts with the modern bull
let, and this is lack of accuracy.
They think this may be overcome,
and even If it shall not be remedied
a regiment advancing and sowing the
field ahead with bullets capable of
penetrating whatever they happen to
hit would disconcert the enemy. 1t
is not probable that advocates of
peace will admire the fresh device for
promoting the effectiveness of troops,
but they may gain some comfort from
the thought that an implement so de-
structive might give pause to the im-
pulse to declare war. and. anyhow.
that battle marked by it's use would
be brief.

There are too many attachments to

times more. They should be simply

At least social distractions should be
kept out Of them. Parents. often at
large expense, send their children
away to boarding school that they may
have time for their studies and be
