Tho election of three Republican
oongrcssmen and legislature that
VIII olect Republican United States
senator to succeed T. NJ. Patterson.
y = great victory for the people and
Z gratifying endorsement OF President
Theodore Roosevelt. His appeal to
the nation for endorsement was not
In vain and Coioradoans responded
nobIy. Two OF tho men elected to the
lower house will be new to the work,
but their long experience In matters
OF public concern will aid them in get
ting into harness early In the game
and We feel sure Messrs. George w.
Cook and Warren A. Haggott Will
prove worthy and able successors to
Franklin w. Brooks and II. M. Hogg.
Both have an extensive acquaintance
and are in close touch with the people
and the Herald is highly pleased over
their election along with Mr.. Bonynge
in the First district.
OF course there is great rejoicing
over the assured retirement of Thos.
NJ. Patterson. The strong Republican
majority in the legislature insures the
election of Republican. And, who
ever the man. he will be notable
Improvement for the best interests OF
Colorado.
The good work of Tuesday will long
be remembered.

our NEW DISTRICT JUDGE.

Time rights all things according TO
an old adage, and this proved to be
the case Tuesday when the voters OF
this judicial district elected Charles
A. Pike district judge by a hand
some majority. In the election OF
district Judge the Republicans have
gained n great victory. securing by
far the best office in the Southwest
and the prestige that naturally goes
with It, And the Herald is confident
that time will show the voters made
no mistake. Judge Pike will exert
himself In behalf of the interests OF
the people and the welfare OF tho tax
payers. n

GOOD MANNERS AT THE TABLE


While the minor details of table
manners vary with the years on
broader lines, they still remain the
same--eonsideration for others, the
suppression OF animal-like character
istics, such as gluttony and greedi-
ness. and the cultivation of those
finer Instincts that make the breaking
of bread together a beautiful family
ordinance, not wild scramble OF pigs
at a trough--an eating to live, not a
living to eat. r ...r
Good manners should be ingrained
not superficial and put on for COM
pany. To make them natural, train
ing should be begun as soon as a child
Is able to sit at the table. II a little
one Is early taught by example and

RUcHTEL AND cAHBERT.

The election OF Chancellor Buchtel
as the next governor of Colorado Is
G singing rebuke to the kind of. jour
nallsm INDUCED In, by Tom Patterson.
And still greater rebuke to Patter-
sonian is the election Of Judge Cab
bert. The Herald, was of the opinion
that 1t was not good politics in nam
ing Mr.. Gabbert, but In this we are
pleased to admit we were mistaken.
Judge Lindsey cannot be held re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the Demo
cratic candidates for the supreme
bench. It turns out that the voters
will not listen to the advice OF Pat
terson and are not Interested in his
troubles. To elect supreme court
that would do the bedding of Patter-
son would be a mistake that Colora-
doans would regret as long as they
lived. Patterson is a dangerous prop
ositlon when in power. And La Plata
county stood by Judge Gabbert, a fact
that is also pleasing. May good gov
eminent continue.
Chancellor Buchtel will make the
state governor all the people will be
proud of and we look forward to an
administration that will be peerless in
every direction as with Mr.. Buchtel
are q set of men to fill the various
state offices who are honest. capable
and will take pride in advancing the
welfare OF the state.
The voters showed conclusively
they are for peace and prosperity and
against Pattersonism. fia

The above is one of number Of
communications the Herald has re-
ceived after publishing an article last
summer advocating that the Durango
library start collection of books
written about the Southwest or con
tanning history of this country. In
that article the titles of a number of
such books were given, and the dis
eussion which followed its publication
showed that the sentiments expressed
therein met with hearty response.
In reply to the above inquiry, we
will say the Franciscan friars were
killed by the Pueblo Indians and not
by the Navajoes. The Grafton is very
rare and only few copies are known
tc be extant The historical depart
ment at Santa Fe has copy and not
long ago the city library at Albuquer-
que obtained copy from Old Mexico.
1t is probable that copies will be re-
printed at some time in the near fu-
tpre, as there seems to be quite de-
mand for them

The election of T. c. Graden, con-
sidering the dirty fight made on him
by the Democrat and others, is a
splendid victory for the Republicans.
Mr.. Graden will go to Denver pledged
of La Plata county and he will always
be found on the right side of all prop
ositions when It comes to voting.
True, he may not vote according to
the desires of Patterson and his fol
lowers, and because of this the voters
will be thankful. AVG iu

National bank circulation is In
creasing with great rapidity, as
shown by the figures for October, Just
made public by the comptroller of the
currency. The aggregate bank circu-
lation at the beginning of November
was s5s3, ,0O0.0 900. which is gain Of
over $9,000,OG0 for the month, and
more than s5s.o0o.0 900 for the twelve
months. This shows that there Is IA
good deal Of folly in that talk that the
circulation is not increasing fast
enough. The coinage at the mints
during October amounted to over So
100000, more than half of which was
gold. The circulation is growing
much faster than population. and fully
as fast as the volume OF business.

The voters have no respect for the
'double-closser and still less for mar
like Charley Thomas who returned to

Colorado Democracy that will rise up
and squelch Patterson two years
hence. AS 1T; is. Thomas will not be

Uncle Sans financial officers are
telling very seductive tales these
Gays. The secretary of the treasury
informs us that for October the gov
ernment's receipts exceeded the ex-
penditures s2.62i,o0o, as compared
with deficit of s5.200,O00 for that
month in 1905. For the four months
of the fiscal year there is surplus
of $S,500,000. while for the same time
a year ago there was shortage Of
$4,000 900. Customs. internal rev
enues and miscellaneous receipts have
all increased for the four months Of
the fiscal year, while the expenditures
have shrunk This is revelation
which is calculated to make the lead
ers of the dominant party feel jubi-
liant.

The fact that La Plata county went
Republican on the state, legislative
and judicial. tickets gives much en-
couragement TO party managers. The
defeat of the local ticket is due to
''knifing'' by Republicans who wanted
to get even and because there was a
weak spot or two for the enemy to
batter.

and made into lengths suitable for

after which the trunk is cut up and
as much of 1t removed as possible.
