don't strike, don't vote and live on
very little; they are cheaper than
slaves and fully as good, and anything
that will give more dollars to the mon

give our missionaries job near home

La Junta tribune., 1906-10-06

One of our local business men who
makes feature of collecting bad
bills, with more or less success, says
he discovered the biggest liar IN
Otero county last week. He lives at
Swink. The collector presented a
bill recently to the man from Swink
and met with the usual poverty
plea. The Swink individual. how
ever. asked the collector for one of
his address cards and promised to
send the money. A day or two after
the collector received a letter from
the Swink individual notifying him
that he had lost his address card and
consequently did not know where to
send the money. He was very sor-
~. So was the collector.

ses or pledges to any body. ard he
will make none. When he occupies
the executive chair he will be gov
ernor and no one else. His candi-
dacy is growing in strength daily.
because it is everywhere recognized
that he will make a governor Of
whom the state and his party may
be proud.
The Telegraph cannot advise any
Of its friends to vote for Judge
Lindsey for governor merely be-
cause he has made a fairly good
juvenile judge.
So far as Alva Adams is concern
ed, the people Of the state know him
well and know whether or not they
want to vote for him. In the opinion
of the Telegraph he is not the man
for governor for numerous reasons.
His subserviency to Patterson
ought to condemn him instantly.
1T is perfectly clear that in the
state Of Colorado this year the tick
ct headed by Henry A. Buchtel is
the ticket that ought to be elected.
1t is ticket that spells peace. pro-
gress and prosperity. Untainted by
Pattersonism. or weakness or inn
maturity. it is the safe. sane and
conservative ticket-the ticket that
will bring US honor and credit and
not gloom and disaster.

white House Burglars Captured.

The burglars who went through
the White House" a week ago last
Wednesday night We're captured in
Pueblo last Monday. Three tele-
scopes packed full of clothing and
all sorts of haberiashery were found
in the room which they were occu-
pying. The burglars are both young
men and gave their names as K. W.
Bliss and W. Colee. Bliss is a resi-
dent of Pueblo but nothing isknown
of Colee. They were arrested by
the Pueblo officers from a descrip-
tion telephoned Of the two men.
who were seen about the store the
evening previous.
Sheriff Barr went to Pueblo Tues
day and brought the two men down
to La Junta. Both have made a
complete confession There were
three men concerned in the bur-
giary. The booty secured from the
store was taken to the old A. j. An
derson house. near the new pump
house. where it was cached while
the burglars made a trip to Trinidad.
There they burRlarized another store
and secured three large telescopes.
With these they returned to La Jun
ia. and after placing the stolen
goods therein. each one took a tele-
scope, separated and agreed to meet
in Pueblo. The third burglar never
showed up with his part of the

The telephone is not luxury or a
convenience. II is a necessity. 1t
is just as much necessity as the
postoffice or the telegraph or the
railways. Everybody uses the tele-
phone. As business adjunct it is.a
prime necessity. Did you ever try
to use the phone time and again and
keep on trying to hear some one say.
"Oh, ! will; you come over. Call
me up if Charley says he'll go. Tell
him I'm just dyin' to see him. And
say. Grace. what you goin' to wear?
I've had my blue voile made over.
and it is just too lovely for anything.
Wonder who's listening? Thinks
he's buttin' in to hear something.
don't he? Say. git out there, you;
we're usin' this line." The tele-
phone was not intended for idle talk
or trifling nonsense. Boys and girls
who use the telephone for more than
one minute ought to be prosecuted.
Business talks are limited to three
minutes.
