The Advertising Faker.

Members of the Order of Elks
in Colorado complain that Adver-
tising Fakers are making an eff
fort to secure contracts for ad-
vertising, in what purports to be
an Official Program of the Elks
Reunion in Denver next July.
There will be no advertising in
the Official Program published by
the Elks, and the program pro-
vided for the occasion will be
gwen away at the Elks head
quarters, so that there will be no
demand for any program except
the one the Elks prepare them
selves.
Luther M. Goddard, Chairman
of the General Committee on Re-
union in Denver, asks that any
one in Colorado who is ap-
preached N the name of the Elks,
and asked to pay for advertising
in a program for the reunion, in
form him at once, ds all such
agents are trying to secure money
under false pretenses, and their
arrest will promptly follow.

WHILE Senator Tillman is will
ling to cooperate with Mr.. Roose-
welt on railroad rate legislation, it
is evident that he draws the line
at White House hospitality. Mr..
Tillman's position is explained in
a dispatch to the Richmond
Times Dispatch under date of
April 2S, which dispatch follows:
"Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima was invited to attend a din
ner given at the White House
Monday night in honor Of the
the French naval officers. The
South Carolina senator did not
attend. Three years ago the
president invited the senator to a
White House dinner and the
afternoon preceding. former Sen
ator McLaurin and Senator Till
man engaged in a fist fight on
the floor of the senate chamber.
The president heard of it and
promptly withdrew the invitation.
1t seems that the president now
thinks good deal more of the
senator than he did at the time
he took his hasty action. Sena-
tor Tillman and the White House
have nothing to say about the
latest development. All that is
known is that the president sent
an invitation to Senator Tillman
which was not accepted."-Ex.

The PAoNIA NEWSPAPER says
that as time wags on it becomes
more evident that Bryan must be
the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party next year. We
scarcely know what he could
make the campaign on now, since
President Roosevelt has "stolen
all his thunder" as Bryan's par
tisans put it-Montrose Press.
We have never as yet written a
Democratic National Platform
but if called upon to write the
next with Bryan as our candidate
we should favor endorsing the
past administration so far as it
has adhered to solid democratic
principles, coupled with a prom
Use to more vigorously than ever
advance the principle of trust and
railroad regulation. This we i'm
agine would be sufficient to Sc
cure the endorsement of those
republicans who want real reform
and would also eliminate the
grating and boodling element of
the democratic party and put
them where they belong, with the
republicans. All we desire is to
see the issue squarely drawn be-
tween organized rapacity and
decency. Roosevelt and Bryan
will both be found on the peoples
side in the contest too, mark the
prediction.

THE raising of sugar beets
seems to be bringing a very un-
desirable class of labor to the
country. A full hedged riot was
started at Carbondale last week
by the importation of a gang of
Japs to attend to beets, the inn
ported Russians and the like be-
ing slightly more costly than Japs.
Business men of every sort should
use what influence they may pos
sess to put a stop to importing
Jap labor. 1t will do the business
interests more harm than anything
else. American labor spends the
reward of its toll at home. The
Jap spends but a trifle here, the
balance he sends to the Orient.

crimes. This is not the case
necessarily. A temporary injunc-

THE SIGNS ARE CLEAR.

At the close of an able and ex-
tended editorial IN the Pueblo
Chieftain, |. N. Stevens speaks as
follows:
This helplessness of the honest
citizens OF Denver, constituting a
majority of the people of that
city, against the allied forces OF
the greedy corporations and the
corrupt political machines of both
parties, ought to be a warning to
the people of the state. 1t is
clearly the purpose and intention
of these allies to extend their
control to all branches of the
state government.
OF far greater importance than
the success of any individual, or
the triumph of any party, is the
defence of popular selt-govern-
ment in Colorado against the
conspiracy with which it is now
threatened, and the breaking up
of the piratical band that now
holds the chief city of the state
-powerless within its grasp, and
which aims to extend its control
to the entire state government.
Observing men who make poll
tics study have seen the trend
of affairs for some time. Corrup-
ton of such character as exists
in Denver will not be satisfied
unless 1t controls the state. Truth
to tell they cannot take the risk
II courts of an incorruptible char
acter shall be secured at any
election they stand a chance of
being dragged before them and
given penitentiary sentences for
their crimes. In that case gov
ernor who will exercise the par
doning power is necessity. Their
only sure safety is in controlling
the city and state together with
the courts and executive. Once
they were content to control the
legislative branch of government
but now they must add to it the
executive and judicial depart
ments. 1t is condition that
calls for not only party action,
but individual action independent
of party. Bill Evans and Bob
Speer have no politics They can
work in perfect harmony for those
things that make for their own
benefit. The people must adopt
their plan. Every man who IS
known to be friendly to corpora
tions must be defeated if we are to
hope to stem the tide of corpora
ton domination. The remedy is
still within our own hands. THE
STATE is GREATER THAN
DENVER.

The Adorable Ratti.

The famous Adelina Patti, always
young, despite her years, first appeared
in 1869, at the New York Academy OF
Music. She was brought forward under
the direction of her kinsman and mas
ter, Maurice S~trakosch, in the title role
Of "Luci di Lammermoor." She was
then only 16 years old, but had already
learned to manageher voice, a flute-like
flexible soprano, with extraordinary
skill and taste, and capable critics at

to revive not only the hopes of man

This prediction had quick fulflment.
After a short initial engagement in
Philadelphia, Mile. Patti, piloted by
Strakosch, embarked on a concert tour
which ended at. New Orleans, whence
she sailed for London where she may
be said to have fairly begun a career,
which, like her art, must remain long
unique In lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward Of 40 years, she held first place,

AduIerated Dresses.

Public attention is being directed

us at night, are adulterated.

EPSON salts, instead Of being used
or medicinal purposes, as formerly, are

largely of cotton, filled with china

often of cotton merelyfaced with linen.
In a word, nearly every kind Of fabric
sold, is a%dulterated in some form or

ance of the truth, finding how poorly
the things wear, lays the blame upon
the laundryman, the dyer or the

A Git With Each Ticket.

George Adams, the manager Of the
Crystal Theatre of Denver, is operating
his playhouse upon unique lines. For
some time he has given away souvenirs
to all his patrons. some of them OF
considerable value. He has now stocked
a large store with about everything
that is needed in housekeeping, and is
issuing a trading stamp or coupon with
every ticket to the theater. The value
of each coupon is ten cents and these
trading coupons al be exchanged al
the store for articles ranging from ten
cents to twenty-five dollars.
Mr.. Adams has just imported a cal
load of dishes from Germany, and he
states that he has, during the winter
already given away, to Crystal Theatel
goers, more than three car loads Of
articles.

A correspondent writing from Jack.
sOnville, ILL.,, says: Ever since l be-
gan bird study, six years ago, / have
kept a winter bird table; and 1t has
been a never-failing source of pleasure
help to my bird guests during the bad
weather. We have an acre Of ground
around our home, and fine trees, but
there are streets on all but the north
side, so I chose that side for the bird
table, as 1t is the most sheltered and
at the same time affords us the best
chance to watch the birds from the
house. l began by tying Jumps Of suet
up in small trees near the windows
and very Dol my guests began to
arrive. Later I devised a plan for
bringing the suet eaters within closer
range. I fastened a rough stick, two
or three inches in diameter, to the
window shutters, across the window a
little below the middle sash and upon
this stick I tied my lump Of suet.
From that time we have had the
pleasure all winter long of watching
our bird neighbours at their luncheon
while sitting at our own dining table
I also fastened a wooden tray to the
sill into which we put cracked nuts
and chopped suet. The most constant
visitors were the chickadees and wood
peckers: then bluejays, titmice, show
birds and r~-thatches, with once in
while a cardinal. OF these the chik
adees and downy w~oodpeckers are the
tamest. When the spring Migrant
return we find black-birds and cat

ticed a remarkably handsome woman
emerge from the c%urtained door that
led into the lower boxes.
She was unusually beautiful, of that
flashing combination of dark eyes and
golden hair that is SO rare.
She was fashionably dressed, and
under her opera cloak l saw the glim-
mer of jewels. I expected her to sweep
out to her carriage, instead of which
she stopped in front Of me and be-
gan to look anxiously toward the out
side door. Then she stepped back
into the curtain, but almost immedi-
ately returned, and began to pace UP
and down more anXiously than before.
She was evidently looking for some
one whose delay caused unusual alarm.
Once l thought she started toward
me as if she vas going to speak. II
thought I noticed this movement again
when I involuntarily approached her.
Can I be Of any service to you,
madam" I asked in a most defer

to demand.
She paused doubtfully a half Sec

Her father had left her at the
theatre, expecting to return immedi-
ately; he had failed to do so and she
was extremely alarmed on his ac-
count, and was also embarrassed at
finding herself alone in a strange city
at midnight. In fact there was moth
ing else for me to do but to offer to
see her home. 1t was all arranged in
a few seconds, and under the charm
of a woman who was of no ordinary
type. She gave the directions to the
driver. I had ordered a carriage and
after about an hours drive we stopped
in a part of the city that was not al
together familiar to me, though |

laid plot of which I was the victim,
though for what purpose | could at
tribute not the slightest motive.
For days I could think of nothing
else. l said nothing to my wife about
it. While I could Justify my actions
in the affair to my own mind, was
not quite sure 1 could do so to hers.
In fact my wife had been in an ex-
tremely nervous condition for a long
time, and of late l noticed she had be-
come more depressed than ever.
I do not know what raised the sus-
picion in my mind, but I took a sud-
den fancy that my wife's late depres-
sion was in some way connected with
my mysterious adventure. A ques-
ton she asked me completely con-
firmed this suspicion and filled me
with added alarm.
1t was a question relating to an ex-
p~erience of my past life, Of which |
had never spoken except in the pres
ence Of the father and daughter the
night of my strange visit and through
which source I felt sure she could only
gain a possible knowledge Of the same.
I determined at all hazards to investi-
gate at least what connection my wife
could have in the chain Of mystery
that was surrounding me.
An opportunity offered itself the
very next day. l. happened to be in
Marshall Fields great store doing
some purchasing for myself, when |
spied my wife coming out OF n OF
the doors leading upon the main street
as I was about to pass out of another.
I started to attract her attention when
noticed her signal for a cab. This
circumstance aroused my suspicion, as
1t was an unusual thing for my wife
to do. I Immediately hailed another
and followed her. I could not help
feeling guilty in this new role OF all
our married life, as spy upon my wife's
actions. Not that I suspected her OF
anything wrong at the time. I was
following her more as q protector
