LiNosEYs PROCLAMATION.
Denver County Judge Tells Why He
Would Be Governor,

Denver-Judse Ben B. Lindsey has
issued an address, in part as follows:
ITO the People of Colorado: In an
address recently delivered before, the
anti-corporation Democratic organiza-
tion OF this city and in a declaration of
principles that followed, both of which
were given wide circulation, ex-
pressed myself upon the political Is.
sues that are now confronting the peo-
pie of this state and also stated why
i was willing to accept the nomination
of the Democratic party for governor,
if the convention of that party saw fit
to name me for that office. Since that
time ! have been honored with ear
nest requests from citizens Of Colorado
Springs, Denver and other parts OF the
state, to know if 1 would accept any
other nomination.; or. if the Democrats
nominated some other candidate,
whether l would, in such contingency,
be free to accept any other nomination.
l now answer these questions and
give my reasons for my answer.
Il am not an independent candidate;
but by the eternal hate | ocar for the
evils OF bosses and bossism, neither am
l dependent candidate. will accept
other nominations If run on the DEM
ocratic ticket; but I shall accept them
as Democrat. If the Democratic con
yention is not brave enough to settle
the corporation issue, will ight II and
its candidates, no matter who they are.
Far be 1t from me to dictate; but as Il
free American citizen have a right to
do as please. and that convention has
right to do as it pleases.
Since / have been drawn into this
fight by the earnest and sincere de-
mands of honest people, see II almost
lost when the hope of the people is be-
trayed into the hands of enemies
by political towards. l shall care for
no office, when it comes to doing my
honest part to have that convention
settle this issue and settle 1t right, as |
understand the right.
MY party will know before | am
done that ! care nothing for Office, but
everything for principle and reform,
and no office is worth pins fee that
does not afford an honest opportunity
to bring this about.
Il know that it will be said that my
action is against the rules of the po'
litical game; but that game has been
SO crooked in this state-the Demo
Gratis stealing, constantly stealing Of
fees and trying to steal other Offices
from the Republicans, and the Repub-
licans stealing from the Democrats, all
under the rules-why should l be
bound by thcm.'

HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded In Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator Of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students, as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps Of the president OF
this college. Thou knowest that he
was clasmate of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class OF 'S4, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees. as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students OF this college ought
to look upon him as q friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousness and loyalty of the stu
dents,'
Finally, to the intense delight OF
the students. the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
"And thank Thee for this oppor'
tunity to address the students OF THIS
college,"

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY,

In the opinion of one who has trav-
eled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what Is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try. anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world. with it's artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here, still existent
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied AngloSaXon. Every man is the
supreme ruler OF his own little prin.
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his FEM
inine helpmeet; cringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known. and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but 1t is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every cultiv-
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests Of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth OF
fish and game at his very door. such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con-
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he we'll be otherwise
than content? It is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut its
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So 1t has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before We come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by class of immigrants
better capable of Judging its possibil-
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the lay of the land"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

How to Put On Gloves.

Open and turn back the gloves to
the thumb and powder lightly. Put
the fingers in their places, not the
thumb. and carefully work, them on
with the first finger and thumb OF
the other hand until they are quite
down: never press between the fin
gers. Pass the thumb into its place
with care and work on as the fingers.
Turn back the glove and slide it over
the hand and wrist, never pinchinS
the kid and work tIe glove into
proper place by means of the light
est pressure, always allowing the kid
to slide between the fingers, In fin
ishing care should be taken in fas
tening the first button.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

NEW ALASKA VOLCANO.
Suddenly Sprung UP in the Alsutian
Islands.

Washington.-Ofi of the reve
nuc cutter Perry have visited the new
peak which recently sprang up on Fire
island, one of the Bososlov group o.
the Aleutian islands, abour sixty miles
west of Unalaska. The southern end
of Fire island consists of two long spits
from a half to three-eighths of a mile
in length and about fifteen feet ABOVE
high water.
On the western spit the new volcanic
peak has sprung up, rising abruptly
from the water to a height of about
700 feet and in shape resembling a
monster bee hive, with a base about
900 feet in diameter. From numerous
crevices columns of steam and sulphur
Gus gases continuously arise and form
q oS5ud which is visible for more than
thirty miles.
Although the surface of the new
peak was warm and soft in places the
officers succeeded in reaching the sum-
init. In recognition of the fact that
the officers of the revenue cutter Perry
were the first persons to visit the new
peak, they named 1t Perry Peak"

DUBIOUS
Abou. What Her Husband Would Say

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agred with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
II had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
| took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But | took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used a cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us. and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after | began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said of
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. | told her I'd make her a
cup OF Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for 10 min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
favor and food quality" Name given

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.

DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in sufficient quantity of
baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful of food,
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
1t could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State Of Missouri quickly repealed
law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.
