Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Jr.. son
of the proprietor of the New York
World, engaged in personal encoun-
ter In the office OF the st. Louis Post
Dispatch-a Pulitzer paper-yester-
day afternoon. While each party to
the controversy refuses to go into de-
tails there was a lively setto. It ap-
pears that Hearst who came In Thurs
day night on his way to Mexico
strayed into the Post-Dispatch office
and went up to the editorial rooms
AS he was leaving he met young Pull
itzer Accounts OF the affair here DIFF
fer. Some say that Hearst snubbed
young Pulitzer. At any rate they en-
gagged in animated conversation and
were soon seen in combat. Several
persons rushed between them and the
affair was over.
Hearst Joined Mrs. Hearst. who was
waiting on the same floor and they
departed. When seen afterwards
Hearst said that II really amounted
to nothing and that Young Pulitzer
asked him some questions which were
none OF his business. and he showed
Pulitzer aside.

DOES THE HORSE LOVE
HIS MASTER?

The horse does not love men. nor
does he delight to labor in his inter
est. If you think yours does, take
him out several miles from home,
turn him loose la the road and see
whether he will follow you; but do
not try this unless fond of pedestrian
exercise. True, you may train him
by the use of certain appliances to
follow you through field, flood and
fire; but he will do this not because
You have successfully deceived him
into thinking that he can not help
himself. and that one idea dominates
him. Do you imagine that 1t is per-
sonal regard for Cinders & Co.,
which impcls those splendid draft
horses to toll and strain at that five
ton load? Or that 1t is alteration
which lands Mr.. Spender's roadster
In front In brush on the speedway
Not In the least. They believe they
can not do otherwise. and attempts
at rebellion have always proven fruit
less. AS well expect old Madge to
harness herself to the runabout and
to come to the door to take you fol
u drive because she thought you were
looking pale.

THE sENAToRsHlP.

Thomas NJ. Patterson and Alva
Adams made their campaign and de.
pended on election by stating from
platform, party press and private con
versation, that Simon Guggenheim
would be the next United States SEN
ator in case the Republicans succeed
ed in electing a majority of the mem.
bers of the general assembly. The
Eight in La Plata county was made on
this issue-so FAR as the Democrats
were concerned. Not outstanding
this the Republicans elected a two
thirds majority and If Patterson and
Adams are reliable prophets Mr..
Guc4)snheim will succeed Mr.. Patter-
sou. So far as the representative
from La Plata county is concerned,
the Herald can state positively that
he has not entered into agreement
with any aspirant, either directly or
through the medium of agents, re-
garding the senatorship, but Mr.. Gra-
den is Republican and he will go
into the Republican caucus, not only
on the senatorship but on other mat
ters regarding party management, and
will stand by the caucus nominee the
same as all Republicans should. He
will not be of the kind who go into
convention seeking nomination for
office and because of failure bolts the
ticket. No doubt there will be num-
ber of aspirants for senator and if
the lot falls to Mr. Guggenheim the
party will find him carrying out every
principle promulgated by the platform
and the Herald has no hesitancy in
saying that Mr.. Guggenheim will come
much nearer to representing the peo-
pie of Colorado than Mr.. Patterson
and will do more to advance the in
terests of Colorado In a material way
than Patterson or any man Patterson
would select. The Herald Is inter
ested in the prosperity of Colorado
and southwest Colorado in particu-
lar, and this being the case we want
men in responsible positions who are
builders instead of wreckers and no
one can question that Mr.. Guggen-
helm is a builder and that Patterson
is a wrecker. So much for compari
son. But La Plata's representative is
not pledged to any one. He will go to
Denver to legislate in the interests
of the people and he will exercise his
own and honest judgment who will
best represent Colorado in the SEN
ate at Washington, and he will not be
frightened from exercising his own
best judgment by red ink in Patter-
sons papers.

DEMOCRATIC PATRONAGE
IN NEW YORK

New York is still talking of the
late political campaign, but it is also
evincing very keen interest in the
subject Of patronage. That which
pertains to the governors office re
mains Republican asset. But there
are plums CT the value of half a mil
lion which are harvested in the Of
fices secured by Mr.. Hearst's running
mates, and the situation is one of ex-
citing novelty. For thirteen years,
with but a slight exception, this
pretty dividend has gone to the Re
publicans. The Democrats consigned
to outer darkness could not peer in
through the chipks and lament. They
now only have numerous appoint
ments to office which provide com
Portable salaries but control in whole
or in part various commissions or
boards that have an enviable power.
We give list from New York pa
per: "The state canal board, which
approves all plans for the large canal;
the state land board, which issues
grants of land under water and gen
orally supervises state lands; the
canal fInd commission and the state
board Of equalization. They will still
further control the state board OF
canvassers, which will be called upon
in 1908 to canvass the vote in the
state for presidential electors" The
large canal patronage will be retained
by the Republicans. but the good
rosds patronage will go to the Demo
Gratis though the state engineer, and
1t is stated that $5O,OO0,O0O is to be

1t appears then that numerous
band will get something very substan
tial out of Mr.. Hearsts fight, though
he himself fell by the wayside, but
2 the lively discussion over the appor
tionment CT the spoils suggests that
possibly an extension of the civil ser
vice law might not be bad thing
And this not because the Democrats
are to rejoice ard participate after a
long term OF banishment, but because

tlefeld and in congress. but a portion
OF 1t was devoted to willingness to
practice law. His early professional
experiences were not materially diff

estate case which involved large inter
ests. The future speaker was mighty
hard up, and he was seriously thinking

How grand is the hawk or the eagle

how beautiful are song birds. each in

much time in watching birds In the
field know how differently the various
birds perch. fly. run. climb or feed
The warblers catch flies. but they do
not do 1t in such an interesting way as
do the true fly catchers. We come to
know bird by the flight or walk Just
as we know other friends by their gait
or even by the sound Of their tread.
In flight the wings of many different
birds make peculiar sounds whereby
we may know the birds even II they
themselves are out Of sight. 1t Is not
Mt all necessary to get close enough to
