Gen. w. ]. Palmer, of Colo
RADIO Springs, who was so seri-
ously injured recently by a fall
from his horse that his recovery
was considered impossible, is re-
ported better. This is good news.
General Palmer is millionaire,
but thousands Of Colorado people
have reason to be glad that he is.
To his home city, to the state and
to outside institutions he has been
generous with his money. Were
more millionaires like him they
would as a class be held in high
er esteem.

The chairman and secretary of
the republican county central
committee, Messrs. Mathews
and Stephan, are entitled to due
credit for the work they did dur
ing this campaign. The situa-
ton was hard one to handle on
account of lack of interest. Help
ers were not voluntary and out
side of the county candidates the
chairman and secretary had little
assistance. Mr.. Stephan gave
his time unselfshly to the work,
neglecting his own business for
the good of the party and it is
only proper that due acknow-
1edgment should be made.

The INDEPENDENT feels conf
dent that Simon Guggenheim' S
candidacy for senator is opposed
by large part of the republican
press in this state. If the news
papers opposed to Mr.. Guggen-
helm will exert their influence in
the right direction he can be
defeated, but he cannot be de-
feated unless the influences
against him speak right out in
meeting. The legislature is not
going to go directly against a
large majority sentiment if it has
reason to believe that such senti-
ment exists. The press is the
best agency thru which to arouse
the peoplesand make known their
wishes.

this county's beet acreage will
be largely increased for next
years crop. Each issue of this
paper tells of several parties who
will increase their acreage or
who will begin raising beets.
Delta county will soon be the
largest producer of sugar beets
on the Western Slope and when
it is it will be growing in wealth
more rapidly than its neighbors.

The Senatorship.

The INDEPENDENT is opposed
to Simon Guggenheim for U. S.
senator, but not for the same
reason that some people seem to
hate him. because he is a Jew and
rich. The Guggenheims have
been of great benefit to Colorado.
As successful financiers they
have made money and have ap-
piled their wealth to a develop
ment of the states resources.
They employ thousands of men
at good wages and it is claimed
that a strike was never known
in the Guggenheim plants. ST.
mon Guggenheim is something of
a philanthropist in that he gave
the School of Mines at Golden a
magnificent building at a cost of
$4,000. All this is commend
able. But of Simon Guggenheim
himself and his qualifications for
the high position of senator the
people of this state know little.
If he is schooled in the art of
craftsmanship, we do not know
it; if he is versed in parliamentary
law, we do not know it: if he is
a man of broad mental grasp,
capable of dealing with the mani
fold and intricate problems that
confront the members of the SEN
ate each session, we do not know
it. In fact the people of Colo
RADIO know little about Mr.. Gug-
genheim beyond his reputation
for money making, that he en-
ploys much labor and that he has
given literally to one of our
worthy educational institutions.
The next senator from Colorado
should be a man of the people,
in whom the people have conf
dence by virtue of his achieve
ments, professionally and as
citizen. He should not be sena-
tor simply because he has money
and knows how to make money.
By vote the people Of Colorado
would never select Simon Gug-
genheim. By vote they might
choose Joel F. Vale, of Denver.
Mr.. Vale is a corporation attor-
ney. He is chief counsel for the
Denver & Rio Grande Ry. Why?
Because he has the ability to
conduct their legal business sue
cessfully and they purchase the
services of men who can win
their cases and they pay such
men large salaries. 1t is said Mr..
Vale will not be an aspirant for
the senate, because if elected he
would personally feel obliged to
give up his connection with the
railroad and serve his constituents
free from corporation entangle-
ments.
That is certainly what he would
be expected to do and Mr.. Vale
should be willing to do it. Altho
to accept the senatorship would
be a financial and professional
sacrifice on the part of Mr.. Vale,
big men are usually willing to
make sacrifice and to give a
least a portion of their lives to
the cause Of good and successful
government.
Mr.. Vale would make an ideal
senator. Heis a man ofwidelearn-
ing; he is cool and conservative;
he never goes off half-cocked and
he would refrain from occupying
the time Of the senate for spread
eagle purposes. He would grow
in statecraft and at the end of
his first term there would be
almost a universal demand for
his return.
We want to send a man to the
senate who would be the choice
Of the people if they were casting
ballots to decide the question
and whom they will cast their
ballots for to return if thew de-

The North Fork Times, in its
last issue, tells Mr.. Vincent what
he must and must not do, under
penalty of having the Times op-
posed to his political future if he
refuses to dance to Blackwell
music. The INDEPENDENT has
no sympathy with such methods.
Mr.. Vincent stated his position
on the senatorship as clearly as
it was possible to state it, during
the campaign. A paper that had
not sufficient confidence in the
man to believe that he meant
what he said, exhibited poor
judgment in supporting him. Mr..
Vincent's future political prefer
ment will depend on his record
in the legislature as a whole and
not on any single act. He is as
much opposed to Mr.. Guggen-
helm as is the editor of the North
Fork Times, but his vote only
counts one. Guggenheim goes
to the senate it will be no fault
of Merle D. Vincent and it will
be so only after he has made a
tremendous fight against him.
AS to the Times ability to put
anybody down and OUT we
have serious doubts. The politi.
cal influence of paper that sup
ports both tickets at one and the
same time does not amount to
much. The influence of a paper,
as with an individual, is reckoned
by it's sincerity and people can
not have much faith in the politi-
cal convictions Of an editor who
attempts to keep on both sides
of the political fence.

AC 1ol lllCIo lllSIlIuIC hSAo
here Monday and Tuesday, with
evening sessions, brought with it
an array of talent that was fine,
but the unfortunate part Of the
whole affair was that our farm
ers and orchardists were too busy
to attend. They simply could not
leave the fields and orchards, for
the season is at hand when beets
must be out Of the ground and the
apples shipped. Whoever is re-
sponsible for a farmers institute
during November makes a mis-
take. January, February or
March are the only months
available to farmers and fruit
growers in this state and if this
institute was to be held in Delta
during any one of these three
months the opera house would be
packed with our people.
1t is certainly too bad that ev-
cry farmer in Delta county could
not have been present, for we
know there were things brought
out by the professors that would
mean greater production, better
quality and consequent increased
profits were they adopted by the
growers.
AS we understand it, the legis-
lature appropriated money with
which to carry on the work of
these Institutes. If so, the peo-
pie are paying the bill and there
should be no waste. 1t is a waste
of public funds to have these peo-
pie travelling about at state ex-
pense at a season Of the year
when it is impossible for those
whom it is supposed to benefit to
attend. We hope to see the next
legislature renew the appropria-
tion for this purpose, but we want
to see it safeguard that appropri-
alton by restrictions as to the
time when institutes are to take
place.
Mr.. Vincent, please make a
note of this SO that you will not
forget about it when the proper
time comes.
