When TO Go Home.

From the Buffalo, Ind, Banner:
When tired out, go home. When
you want consolation. go home. When
you want fun, go home. When you
want TO show others that you have
reformed, go home and let your fam
lily get acquainted with the fact
When you want TO show yourself al
your best go home and do the act
there. When you feel like being ex
ira liberal go home and practice on
your wife and children first. When
you want to shine with extra brill
fancy go home and light up the whole
household" To which we would add
when you have a bad cold, go home

thew must have rebates and other adj
vantages, from which the south and
west are exempted.
The east is the richest section of
our country, not because of the SUI
periority of her people, or the vol
ume of her resources, but because OF
the unjust laws which have forced
the agricultural south and west to
pay tribute to that section.
That, aidei By special favors from
the various tran portation companies
has made fill progress that in the
south is impossible.
Why are the railways permitted to
charge the government more for car
rying the mails than is eXacted of the
express companies for their service?
We admit one or two things. Either
the government cannot control them
or it can and will not. If the former
we pity the people who at regular in
tervals are made believe by the sell
fish politicians that the ship of state
is moving smoothly to better times
| If the latter, government ownership
is all that if left us. And l say, with
o. fear or favor:
1t Control them if you can.
End Own them if you cannot.
Mr.. Bryan is right as to government
ownership, but wrong as to joint ow-
nership by states and nation. And if
the democratic party is to ever secure
contr, Of the federal government
again, it must do by standing for the
people, and not the oppressive cOrpOr-
atoms. The vote we received two
years ago, with a Wall street candi-
date and the free use of a republican
platform does not inspire us with a
desire to repeat the folly, nor would
it hid us hope for victory.

A Nice Compliment for Broward

Governor Broward, as some see
him, is the most popular man the state
ever had. The latest figuring over
the matter, as done by some of our
prominent thinkers, is this: The peo-
pie of Florida have always been OPP
posed to the governors drainage
scheme, but heartily in favor of the
governor, and Notwithstanding the
fact that he ran on platform that
the people opposed, and that his op-
ponents were some of the ablest men
in Florida. the, people made him gov
ernor and reserved their vote on
drainage till the last election just to
show the governor that they wanted
him and not drainage-Santa Rosa

Rivers and Harbors Congress Recent
Iy in Session in Washington.

~ IN session IN washington.
: The great project in which the mid
die west is vitality interested, the
lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway, was
kept prominently before the rivers
and harbors committee. At a recep-
ton at the White House, the officers
of the ship canal association present
ed President Roosevelt with a silver
medal and sang the following song
to the air of Shouting the Battle
Cry of Freedom
I'VE represent the people who want
the waterway
Fourteen feet through the valley.
We represent the shippers who have
the biggest say
Fourteen feet through the valley,
We want the ship running and low
ering the rate
Fourteen feet through the valley,
And if we get the water We'll guaran-
tee the freight
Fourteen feet through the valley,
CHORUS.
We're going TO have the water,
We're going to have the way,
We've got the tonnage waiting
To make the vessels pay;
And we'll get the fifty millions
With Uncle Sans o. K.
Fourteen feet through the valIev."

Left Destitute.

Mrs. A. L. White, who was burned
out last week, is almost as near desti-
tute as one can be. She and daugh-
ter almost sixteen years of age lived
in this house and made meagre liv-
ing renting two or three rooms and
working out at times.
At the time of the fire Mrs. White
and her daughter were visiting an
other daughter at Cotapaxi. Every
thing they had on earth was burned in
the fire except what little clothing
they had with them. They have not
returned because they have nothing
to return to.
The members of the adventist
church are trying to raise subscrip-
tion to build a small house for Mrs.
White. II is deserving cause. Parties
who want to help may leave subscrip-
tions al The Record Office or take
them TO DR.. Wade.

MANY CANON CITY PEOPLE
SAW BEN HUR IN PUEBLO.

A lot of Canon people went down to
see Ben Hur" at Pueblo last night.
A special train went through from
Salida carrying the people from this
part of the state There were ISL
people from Canon City, $50 from Flor
ence and thirty-seven from Salida.
"Ben Hur" is one of the greatest
plays on the American stage today
and is worth seeing at any ordinary
cost. 1t will run at the Pueblo Grand
opera house all this week.

Mr.. Granger Is very anxious to have
the line opened for travel by June l.,
as the summer business means much
to the line. But all this depends on
one thing--the raising of $4,000 as
a bonus by the Canon City and Flor

Mr.. Granger feels that line here

It will not be paying proposition for

Advices received here state that
Fred p Wilson, who has been en-
ployed by the Title Guarantee & Trust
Co. of Los Angeles, California, is
defaulter to the extent of 100000 or
more 1t is not known how extensive
the embezzlements are and even the
company wont know for some months.
They may reach $4,000 or $4,000.
For almost three years Wilson has
been employed by this company and
has had charge of the cash in one of
the departments. 1t was supposed by
all who knew him that he was getting
along all right and doing well.
He was to be here Christmas week
to see his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Wilson, at 211 Main street, who are
both old and feeble. His mother was
much disappointed that he did not
arrive on the day expected. Later a
telegram was received from Salt Lake
City saying that he had missed his
train and would be on later. But he
did not show up. After few days
Tie tlIUSLZltllitll was disNONCiCu III
Los Angeles and the news received
here. 1t has proven a terrible blow
TO the parents, the father being criti-
cally ill.
1t seems that Fred used his con-
templated trip home to make a good
'.get away" from Los Angeles. 1t is
rumored that he is trying to get to
Australia or Canada.
1t is not known whether he has
taken much money with him or
whether he has wasted it gambling
from time to time. He has always
been great gambler and has un-
doubtedly spent much money this way.
Mrs. Wilson, formerly Miss Mary
Penney, will probably return to Canon
City. She is well known here and
has the respect and sympathy of the
entire community.
1t is current rumor that Mrs.
Wilson received letter from Fred
few days ago from some point in
Wyoming saying that he had cut loose
from all former ties and would en-
deavor to reach Canada.
