Senator Daniel protests

Senator John w. Daniel few
days ago discussed in the United
States Senate the question of lack
OF representation by the Southern
States in the public service. Sena.
tor Daniels speech was based on
provision in the urgent defcier cy
appropriation bill for tbs repre-
sentation of the United States at
tie next Pan.American Congress,
to be held in Rio Janeiro rext
July. He said that the plans of
the State Department did not con-
template representation Of the
South or the far West. and then
entered upon a general considera
ton Of Southern participation in
public affairs, contending that
political differences should not be
to prevent such parti-
'ipation on q broader scale.

Armies Of cassrpIIlsr..

OF the plague OF caterpillars that
syerran the Scottish lowlands in
1885 a naturalist writes: ''The cater
pillars marched in armies straight
ahead, and the consequence was
that when they encountered sheep
drains which are open drains about
eighteen inches deep and eighteen
inches wide at the top, they tumbled
into them in such numbers that their
dead bodies damned up the water,
and they might have been taken out
In barrow iOads."

Sens In Verse
Song Of the Mountain


Son OF all the cities,
With their culture and their code.
What brings you to my doorway
by the lone and starry road?
hou may come with seven pack mules.
1ou may walk or steam or ride.
But you'll never, never know me
TIL you come without a guide.
&ou may come with rod and level,
with compass and with chain,
To parcel me for profit
And barter me for gain;
fou may tell my age in cons
BY the scars on drift and slide,
But you'll never, never know me
TN you learn how abide.
lou may range my slopes for silver;
iou may wash my hands for gold:
fou may tally every jewel
TIL my gems have all been told:
You may cross my widest canyon;
=. You may top my last divide,
But you'll never. never know me
TIL you watch me wonder eyed, .
You must sleep for nights together
With your head upon my breast.
The companion OF my silence.
The receiver of my rest.
You may come with all your wisdom
To subdue me in your pride.
But you'll never, never know me
TIL you love me like a bride.
Bliss Carnan.

Il Trust You"

81 owe my salvation to three
words you spoke" he wrote. "When
all the world was against me you
said, 4 trust YOU"
If every boy or girl who has made
mistakes and gone astray could have
such friend a great many of them
would return to a normal life. The
feeling that somebody believes in us,
trusts us--no matter what others
believe or say-touches the heart,
Criminals are sometimes totally re-
formed through the consciousness
that somebody still believes in them,
no matter how low they may have
fallen. Could we realize how much
this trust and confidence would do
for man when everything else has
failed we should be more generous
Of our confidence in our fellows.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES
SOUTH CANON SCHOOLS
Entertainment at Elks Hall De-
lights Enthusiastic Audience.

The class day exercises were held
in Elks' hall on Tuesday afternoon.
The hall had been most artistically de-
corated in the class colors, but the
best decorating any hall could have
was the class itself. composed of
twelve charming young women and
six sturdy young men. A large num-
Der of the friends of the class were
present and the following delightful
program was most faultlessly rem
dered:
Address of welcome. Belmont Pres
ton, class president; class history.
Emma Quinlan: Observation-Disclosures
Jones, Winnie Viewer, luke Preston
and George Tripp: class prophecy, AL
bert Colgate; class poem, Maud Jenk-
ins: piano solo, Nettie Heaton: pro-
phecy of the class of OF. Bert Ward;
art gallery, giving shadow pictures of
the class of '06, Oralind Kirkton; piano
solo. Hulda Talledge; Glass WILL"
George Tripp; followed by responses
by We're Elliott for the Juniors, Clara
Moyle for the sophmores and John
Stiers for the freshmen; class song.
At the close of the program punch and
waters were served and a delightful
social hour followed. The class OF
'O6 is to be congratulated most sin
cerely on the high excellence of their
class day exercises.
commencement exercises will be in
the First Presbyterian church Thurs
day evening at 5 O'Clock. DR.. Sanford
Bell of the State University is the
speaker of the evening. DR.. Bell is
recognized as one of the foremost pub
lie speakers of the day and large
number of our people are looking for
ward to the privilege of again hearing
him.
The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class was preached on last
Sunday night by the Rev. DR.. ]. D.
Rankin of Denver The services were
to have been held in the United Pres
byterian church, but DR.. Chaffee ten
dered the use of the magnificent new
Methodist church, and the large edifice
was filled with people expecting
great treat from DIR. Rankin-and they
received even more than they had
hoped for. The text selected for the
discourse were those famous words
of Paul. ''whereupon o King Agrippa.
was not disobedient unto the heav-
enly vision The speaker used illus
tration upon illustration to show that
every life that had been of use to hui
manity from the time of Paul down to
the present had been lived by one who
not only saw the heavenly vision, but
was willing to follow and obey IT.
The reputation of DR. Rankin as
great preacher was widened by this
masterful discourse.

are unable to state, although we be-
lieve comingling of the two is re-
sponsible for the excellence of the
rendition.
The entertainment began with avery
clever presentation of farce in one
act entitled ''One Must Marry" which
was translated from the German by
Violet Fuller and Herbert Gravestock,
members of the senior class The
naturalness with which it was pre-
sented was one of its greatest charms,
although there was humor about it
that was at times highly diverting.
Those taking part in it were Leslie
Clearinghouse, Lewis ]. Lloyd, Ethel
Reed and Nellie Sartor.
Colds, or One Yard to GAIN"
football comedy in two acts, was then
introduced, the scene being in Ralph
Gaylord's apartments at Norwood Uni
versity. Gaylord was captain of the
University football team and was the
hero of the play by reason of his
achievements in fiercely contested
game on the gridiron with the team
of a rival organization.
Every part in the little drama was
well sustained and compliments were
heard on every side of the mastery
way in which it was presented. 1t
would be inviduous TO make distinc-
tions where there was such general
excellence, suffice it to state that the
play was a pretty one and that it was
superbly rendered. The opera house
has seldom contained a larger or bet
ter pleased audience than the one that
assembled within its wall last Tues
day night. In the caste of characters
in Colds" appeared the names of
Garth Duell, Leb. Harding, Margaret
Granger, Edna Payne, Ethel McLain,
Ethel Gibson, Lewis Lloyd, Leslie Gar
linghouse and Ben Gray.
The high school orchestra furnished
music for the occasion and its playing
was in keeping with the other features
of the evenings entertainment, which
we have stated was first-class in every
respect. The orchestra received many
compliments on the superior character
of its music.

WANT MOBILES OFF
THE SKYLINE DRIVE
Council Asked to Prohibit BUZZ
Wagons City Will Get Inter-
est on Bank Balances.

At the meeting of the city council
last Monday night. Mayor Coulter
called attention TO the danger of per-
mitting automobiles to use the Skyline
drive and suggested that some action
be taken TO protect the public from the
periis OF auto driving along that pop
ular roadway and to that end referred
the matter to the street, alley and
bridge committee.
Ordinance No. Z. series OF 1906, re-
lating to the establishment of street
grades in sidewalk and improvement
districts Nos. 2, 3 and 4. was read for
the second time in full after having
been published in accordance with the
statutes.
The finance committee reported that
IL had obtained a promise from the
officers of the Fremont County Bank
to pay interest on cash balances that
the city might have from time to time.
The bills of Messrs Taylor & Sayre
for $500 attorneys fees in connection
with the prosecution of the saloon
cases were read and referred to the
finance committee.
On motion the cemetery committee
was instructed to have the iron fence
around Lakeside Cemetery painted
Deputy Warden Allen Jameson ap-
peared before the council and asked
for the loan OF the portable engine
and boiler belonging to the water de-
partment He also lodged a complaint
in relation to the dumping of garbage
by the city at the southeast corner of
Main and First streets and asked
that the nuisance complained of be
abaied The matter of the city dump
ing was referred TO the consideration
of the street. alley and bridge com
mittee.
A petition for a fire hydrant at the
corner OF Greenwood avenue and Ninth
street signed by II. l.. Adams and 9TH
ers. was read and referred TO the fire
and water committee TO investigate
and report to the council at subse-
quent meeting.
petition to have the city superin-
tend the grading of Rudd avenue from
Sixth to Eighth street, signed by j. X.
Kennedy and others, was read and
referred to the street, alley and bridge
committee.

to the council TO furnish the city with
great amount OF dirt. shale and rock
and to deliver the same at small
cost. The matter was referred TO the
proper committee for Investigation.

ness the council adjourned till Mon

sures of the alumni banquets, to be
held later, belonging exclusively to
the members of the respective associa-
tions and such of their instructors as
they choose to invite.
The baccalaureate sermons last Sun
day evening, one at the First Metho-
dist and the other at the First Pres
byterian church, were eloquent and
helpful discourses upon practical sub
jects and were much appreciated by
the splendid audiences which assem-
bled to do honor to the occasion. The
class day programs, the South Canon
at Elks' hall Tuesday afternoon and
the Canon City at the opera house on
the following evening, were in excel
lent taste and their rendition was in
every way creditable to the partici-
pants.
The Canon City and South Canon
high schools stand high in the public
school system of the state and it is
no mean distinction to complete the
course of study which they prescribe
as a prerequisite for graduation. Stu
dents and instructors have worked
hard during the past year and it would
be a mean and churlish man or wo-
man that would begrudge them the va
cation upon which they are about to
enter for the summer months.

SOUTH SIDE HAS MANY
new STREET NAMES

The value of a new city directory is
becoming more and more apparent
each day to the busy merchant and
professional man, now that South Can
on has new number sr, every house
and many new .seyond of streets.
Streets in South csorI which hereto
fore have had nane3 milar to streets
in Canon City have been changed and
all the houses are now numbered from
uniform point After this becomes
well known to everybody it will be
very much superior to the old system.
The 1906 directory will have all the
new numbers and streets, which makes
il almost indispensable to the mer-
chants and professional men.
A large number of people who have
come to this city during the past
year and have permanently located
here. and many of those who were here
have changed their residence or occu-
patton during the past year. These
are the main reasons why new city
directory ought to be published.
The liberal manner In which the
business men are taking advertising
space in the new directory shows that
they appreciate its value as an ad-
vertising medium, and as the time is
limited. those who have not ordered
space and who still desire space should
place their order Immediately.
Beyond doubt there is no refer
ence book in this city which is used
as much as this one is and it is safe
to say that every man and woman in
this community at some time during
the year has occasion to use it many
times, as well as the many strangers
to whom it serves as their chief guide
TO the city.

zens of Canon City and has caused
universal mourning. A life SO full of
noble deeds, a character of such ex-
alted virtues as were hers cannot be
described in even many words, and at
the moment we can only bow our
heads in solemn silence. Our grief is
too great for expression. Just now We
gain comfort in the ancient language
Of the church, by expressing our faith
that the souls of the faithful live with
God, in rest, Joy. felicity, and in thanks
to Him for the good examples of those
who having finished their course in
faith do now rest from their labors
and whose works do follow them. Let
us pray to God to give us grace so TO
follow their steadfastness in faith and
obedience to Gods holy command
ments that at the day of the general
resurrection we with all those who
are of the mystical body of Christ
may be set on His right hand and hear
from His joyful voice: Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world"
