VERY soLIcToUs FOR THE PARTY.

With a senator to be chosen in
January and state organization
to be constructed for use in the
senatorial battle at the close of
Teller's term, it means that host
of millionaire members of the Re-
publican party will be pouring
money into the party Golfers this
fail. Add to this the Importance
of the corporations in retaining
control of the supreme court and
the interests the railroads will
have in electing legislature that
can be depended upon to kill all
bills aimed at rate Determinations
here in the state and the interest
the mine owners will have in
placing in the governors chair
another servile tool, it will be no
summer excursion for the Demo
cratic party split into factions, at
tempting to thwart the designs
of such a combination Harmony
and unity must be the watchwords
with the Colorado Democracy in
the approaching campaign, and
now is good time to begin their
practical Observation-Disclosures
Democrat.
The Democrat might well have
taken its own advice before assist
ing to the extent of its very con-
siderable ability to turn the Dem
yer organization over to Bill
Evans. Further they prove that
so far as unity of action is con-
cerned, it must be along the lines
of further subserviency to the
corporations, or they will not
play. The only thing that indi-
Gates a split in the Democratic
party is the desperate efforts of
the Speer gang to control it. In
this they will be defeated and we
presume there will be some disaf-
fection occasioned thereby. We
presume that Mr.. Speer will
openly support the republican
ticket instead of doing SO secretly.
We anticipate losing our Denver
majority, but that is not necessa-
rily fatality. The decent vote of
the state will easily make good.
The Democrats own editorials
are SO wonderfully like those that
appear in the Republican that it
hints at joint editorial bureau.
Both seem to desire democratic
success if we will accept Bill
Evans for our party manager, and
this there will be robust attempt
to defeat.

ness of The News what Republi-
can factions would or would not
do about party matters. Thick
and,thin party papers set pit falls
for their political opponents to
stumble into, and the harder
they fall and the more they are
hurt the more pleasure it gives
them. If the opposite party is
doing things that hurt the people
and offend them the better they
like it, for the more Of that sort
of thing that goes on the brighter
are the chances for their own
party to win.
The headlong pace with which
the chief Republican leaders OF
Colorado have pushed their party
into corporation arms, to do cor
poration bidding, to acquiesce IN
outrages upon law and decency
without a parallel in American
political history for corporation
benefit, would crafty the average
party journal, but The News is
not gratifed; it is indignant, it is
sorry, because the course these
leaders have forced their party to
take and that they persist in urg-
ing upon it is so injurious to the
state, has sunk it so low in out
side esteem, has so depraved pub
lie morals, so lowered the tone of
the public conscience and so Grip
pied its material welfare, that, in
common with all good people Of
the state, the News is forced to
cry halt and to use what influence
it has to compel the Republican
party to retrace its steps.
1t is idle to labor with the
heads of the great corporations
who have forcibly-by threats,
and fraud, and bribery-obtained
what seems to be permanent con-
troll of the Republican organiza-
ton. They have fixed plans to
elect Guggenheim to the senate,
to hold control of the supreme
court and minor courts so far as
they can, to continue the control
OF the Legislature which they
secured in 1904 5 through the
most scandalous usurpation of
judicial power. They believe
their money is the irresistible
factor in politics, and that every
agency of government, as we'll as
the people, can be prostituted to
their ends by its prohigate use.
1t is idle to appeal to that ele-
ment in the party; but it, better
element has asserted itself. 1t
has picked up the gauge of bat
tie thrown down by the corpora
tions to evey decent element in
the politics of the state and aP-
pealed to its fellow Republicans
to organize and unite with it to
drive the corporation money
changes out of the Republican
temple.
The News commends the cour-
age with which these independent
Republicans have entered the
field of battle. 1t matters not to
them that their political future is
with the die they have cast. If
they succeed they will receive the
reward defenders of honest gov
ernment are entitled to when they
win; If they lose they are polite
ally destroyed. They could have
made their future assured by ally

ernment are entitled to when they

ally destroyed. They could have
made their future assured by ally
ing themselves with the organized

go down in a noble fight in de-
fense of their state and the true
principles of their party rather
than to gain their ambitions with
corporation rings in their noses
and corporation brands upon
their breasts. Every good clti-
zen, of whatever party, should
give encouragement to the or

licans who have taken up the
fight OF the people and declared
determined hostility to the agen-
cies that have degraded their party.

Professor R. B. Anderson Gives
the Banker Convict Another
Black Eye.

Hudson, Wis, Sept. 2e.-Perhaps No
one in America has known Paul y.

fessor Rasmus B. Anderson OF Madison,
Wis, the Morse author and editor. In
an interview at Hudson today Profess
account of ST. nsland's life both. in
Europe and America. The Madison
scholar became acquainted with . the
bank wrecker in 1871, shortly after
the latter's arrival in Chicago. and
Professor Anderson says that he knew
that Stensland was not trustworthy,
honest man over twenty years ago, re-
fusing at that time to have business
dealings with him on that account.
According to Professor Anderson,
Paul o. Stensland left his peasant home
in Stavanger county, Norway, while he
was boy, and became. sailor, follow
ing the sea for several years. Weary
ing of this and being ambitious to rise
above that sort of life, he left his ship
at Bombay, where he stayed for two
years. He was first employed by a
large hotel as a runner, it being his
business to get customers for his house.
In this he was very successful, making
much money both for himself and the
hotel.
A Winner in Love.
hen 90 years of age, Stensland re-
turned to his Norway home, where. he
became engaged to the widow of a
schoolmaster, with whom he had been
in love for years, but for whose hand
he had never before dared aspire, be-
cause of her superior station in life
he being only. husmandsgut,' or
tenant s son, and she being the daugh-
ter Of q well-to do landowner. I'M
mediately after his engagement, Stems
land went to America to find home,
and located in Chicago, where he was
employed by wealthy Hebrew mer-
chant, who had large drygoods store
the spring Of 1871, and before the end
Of that year Stensland IS betrothed had

wrote to Professor Anderson, who was
! then an instructor in the University of
! Wisconsin, and whose parents early
: Norway home was near that Of Stems
i land g. The two met at Chicago that
! year, and Professor Anderson relates
that Stensland told him the story of
his life, confding everything to him.
. After few years the Hebrew mer-
Echant in question took Stensland as his
partner, SO much was he impressed with
his ability. One night the store burned
and Stensland and the Hebrew were paid
a larger sum in insurance than the loss
sustained. It was the common belief
i among the Norwegians Of Chicago at
the time, says Professor Anderson, that
Stensland knew how the store took fire
For some time after the fire Stems

then he organized the Milwaukee ave

WANT CITY TO PAVE
POINT LOB0S AVENUE
City Officials View Thorough
fare Which Property Own
ers Desire BituminiZed.

Mayor Schmitz, City Engineer Wood
ward, Auditor Horton and Works Com
missioners Eagan, Aigeltinger and
Maestretti yesterday took an automo-
bile trip along Point Lobos avenue,
with a view to arriving at conclusion
relative to the petition of the Point Lo-
bos Improvement Club and interested
property owners that the avenue be BIZ
tuminized
The petitioners claim that the ex-
pense Of the Improvement should fall
on the city, and they want the Auditor
to incorporate in his budget recommen-
dations an appropriation of 100000 for
part of the work. Point Lobos avenue
was formerly under the control of the
Park Commissioners. but when the
charter went into effect the care of
the thoroughfare again devolved on
the city.
The cost of the Improvement would
be III excess of half the assessed valua-
tion OF property affected thereby, an.l
this is another reason why the proper
ty owners think the city should pay the
expense
The Mayor and Auditor also favor
the proposed plan to widen the Cliff
House road eighty feet.
