Trim the Trees.
From the Colorado Springs Gazette.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
II there is worse enemy to humanity
outside the ranks OF murderers, thieves and
meat packers than the man who allows the
branches Of his trees to hang so low over
the sidewalk that they strike passersby in
the face. now is the time for him to step
forward and make good his claim. It
would be perfectly safe for anybody to offer
a prize to such one, for the chances are
a thousand to one that 1t would never be
claimed,
Bordering the sidewalks in every part of
Colorado Springs are trees that have not
felt the. touch of the pruning knife in years.
Some OF these trees are within the property
lines, some of them are along the outer
edge OF the sidewalks; no matter: in either
case they are living monuments TO some
body's neglect. They have been permitted
to shoot their branches skyward without
let or hindrance. and, unfortunately, some
of the branches, after growing skyward for
awhile, have become tired of the task and
turned earthward. They hang down over
the sidewalks at just the proper height
from the ground to send an incautious
pedestrians hat spinning. Immediately
after rain these nuisances are a thousand
times worse. At such times the branches
hang lower with the weight of water. and
instead of merely knocking on ones hat,
they take a side swips at his head and
shoulders.

hat numerous copies of his religious
paper, "The Crown" containing this
editorial with a big blue mark around
it, were sent out by the saloon men
as campaign literature, intending to
influence the best thinking people of
the state against the bishops law.
If DR.. WATSON entertained such
opinions regarding the bishops law
he might better have kept out of
print or, at best, he should have had
enough respect for his calling to re-

SENATOR DRYDEN's ADMISSION.

Senator Dryden has caused to be
delivered at the various newspaper
offices about the state a circular re-
plying to Senator La Toilette.
The reply is exceedingly lame in all
particulars, and especially where the
senator admits that he does not vote
on great public questions according
to his W conscience, nor according
to the will of his constituents, but
according to the way the republican
majority votes.
The following is what Senator
Dryden says:
IF La Toilette voted for the in
terests of the people and against the
railway corporations, then in doing
so he found himself allied with the
democrats and opposed to the repub-
licans. For myself l cannot make it
too emphatic that | am a republican
and that | act upon all great party
measures with my republican asso-
ciates. If that opens me to criticism,
l shall gladly accept it."
In other words, Senator Dryden
admits that he has no backbone, no
will of his own. He merely follows
the others, and If SOM corporation
can persuade a majority of the re-
publican senator's to vote for a bill,
no matter how much it may be
against the people, Senator Dryden
a be counted on as favoring it for
he is proud to be with the majority.
Could anything be more ridicu-
lous? Do the people of New Jersey
want such a piece of putty in the SEN
ate when they are supposed to have
a representative?
NO!
Rather, by far, have a man like La
Toilette, who has convictions and is
not afraid to stand by them even if
the whole congress is against him.
Such a man is worth something.
He would be a credit to this state.
Since Senator Dryden has thus de-
clared his utter uselessness, it is hard
to see how even those who favored
him can now defend him.
Col. Fordyce, who would be state
senator, has declared that if elected
he will not vote for Senator Dryden.
Therefore vote for Fordyce delegates
that New Jersey may have a MAN
represent her in the United States
senate.
