"a SOUND MIND "A SOUND BODY

Students Of criminology are coming
to believe more and more in reaching
the criminal through elevation Of the
body. From two sources recently this
thought has been emphasized, one In q
magazine article where physical cul-
ture Is advocated as deterrent of
crime. while the other comes from an
article on surgery. The writer on
physical culture believes that much of
The juvenile crime, especially OF our
large cities, is the outcome OF natural
energy diverted into wrong channels.

es of recognized athletic sports or ex
ercises-is therefore necessary safe
guard for the Individual, the family
and the municipality. 'Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands TO
do" is generally admitted. 1t follows
then that to prevent mischief, we
must eliminate the idleness OF the cor
ner gang, OF the horse-plRy OF the hood
lum, and OF such amusements as are
provided in the back rooms OF saloons.
How can this be done better than
through rightly directed efforts for
physical development?
In the other article referred to on
surgery, Harold Hurley, the bad boy,
was transformed into Harold Huntley,

The foolish talk about the necessity
OF getting rid OF the political
machine" reminds as OF the inquisttive
pupil in certain school. The teacher
was explaining how the human body
undergoes complete change once In
seven years and still remains the same
body. After trying for q time to COM
prehend such philosophy, the boy said.
Suppose have iackknife and lose
the blade and have another put In. Is
1t the same knifep'' Certainly said
the teacher. III should then lose the
handle and have another one put on,
would still have the same old knlfe?'
Certainly" replied the teacher.
'tThen,' said the boy, IF / should
find the old blade and the old handle
and have them put together again,
which would be the old knife?" This
incident fittingly illustrates the
machine as it exists in this state today.
When Mr.. Pettigrew and his followers
left the organization the blade OF the
machine was gone. Later Mr.. Craw-
ford and Mr.. Gamble we're s'lost" and
the handle was gone. Now the old
blade and the old handle have been
reunited and the question Is which, 10

GOOD NEWS TO MINING MEN.


An advance in the price to be paid
by the American Smelling & Refining
company for lead ores has been an
nounced by the company. The COM
pany issued circular Tuesday to the
sampling works in different parts OF
the state in which the advance Is set
forth. The advance amounts to 14.5
cents per unit of 20 pounds over the
schedule Of last month, or $5.75 per
100 pounds at the smelter with GER
tain reductions for treatment The
smelter charges have also been re-
duced 81 a ton less than the July
schedule. This reduction in smelter
charges is regarded as large con-
cession to the miners, and the in
creased allowance for lead is said to
be the largest ever paid in the his
tory OF smelling in Colorado.
The advance means an increased
supply of dry" gold ores which calls
for additional lead In the smelling
mixtures. 1t is predicted that mine
owners whose properties yield lead
bearing ores will begin work at once
to increase the production.

DIR. PULFoRp PASSES AWAY.

A gloom was cast over Durango
this morning by the announcement
that DR.. Pulford had passed away,
breathing his last at 8 o'clock. Death
was not unexpected, however, as he
had been seriously i'll for over two
weeks and had been steadily growing
weaker toward the last, and it was
said last night that he was dying.
His wife, who has stayed with him
constantly day and night ever since
his condition became serious, Is pros
trated with grief.
The doctor was taken down with
typhoid over two weeks ago, and last
week surgeon came In from Den
yer and performed an operation, but
the doctor did not rally.
DIR. John Bracken Pulford was born
n Mineral Point, Wis, July 81, 1857.
md was 40 years old. When a very
young man he was employed by
railroad companies In Iowa, being
station agent at Marion, Oxford June.

He came to Durango in October,
1892. accepting an office position with
the Standard smelter, then just start
ing. When that smelter closed dur.
ing the panic the doctor went into
mining In the La Platas, working the
Cumberland mine and some other
property for a time.
He obtained his diploma from the
Denver university a few years later
and opened dental office, following
the profession of dentistry ever
since. He enjoyed lucrative prac
tice and made trips once or twice 9
year to Blum City, Utah, where his
patrons depended on his coming reg
ularly.
His father, Rev. Samuel Pulford
was an Episcopal minister, of Ian
cashire. Wis, and DIR. Pulford grew
up firm in that faith and at the time
of his death he was junior warden In
the Episcopal church OF Durango. He
was member of the Masons and the
Woodmen of the World.
He was united in marriage in 1886
to the widow now left behind. Nc
other near relatives survive except
two brothers In the state of Wash
ington. His mother departed this
life about six months ago and his
father died several years ago.
Funeral arrangements cannot be
announced at this time but 1t is un
derstood the Masons will have
charge.
In the passing Of DR.. Pulfprd the
community loses a most highly re
spected and useful citizen, and all
who knew him deeply sympathize
with the widow, and, were 1t possible
they would gladly tighten the had OF
