SATURDAY. JULY Z, 1905.
A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE

The rank and file of the republican
party throughout the state looks on
with mingled feelings of grief and
shame at the unseemly quarrel be-
tween certain of the leaders. 1t is
certainly proftless task, this ex-
change of Islander and epithet. 1t
certainly cannot help the rarty. It
can accomplish no good purpose. As
a member of the national republican
committee from Colorado, A. M.
Stevenson has been placed in posi-
tion of great responsibility and trust.
Inst cad of laboring to secure harmony
in the party ranks and in doing what
he could to prepare for a victory next
fall, he has deliberately sought to
wreck the organization. He has made
an attack on the chairman, he has at
tackled the central committee. He has
consorted with the agencies that are at
work to pull down the fabric of re-
publicanism in tn state.
Very naturally his grossly unfair at
lacks on prominent members of the
committee have provoked replies, and
Stevenson has been shown up in his
true colors in no gentle manner. 1t
was brutal, possibly it was unseemly.
but still it was probably necessary in
order that the people may know who 1t
is that is engineering the movement in
the republican ranks to bring about
democratic victory.
Still, the plain people in the party
cannot feel that the spectacle is an ed
flying one. 1t will, of course. settle
Mr. Stevenson. But it will in ad
dition SOW the seeds of distrust and
suspicion. and furnish ammunition tc
the enemies OF the party.
We are not Of that class who be-
lieve that harmony must be bought al
any price. Better that any party be
torn to pieces and go down to igno-
minious defeat, rather than that graft,
corruption and evil should prevail.
But this is not the issue raised. For
the purpose of selfish aggrandizement,
and to foster certain private political
booms, this concerted attack has beer
made, and our frank judgment is tn al
it is one of the most unfortunate oc.
currences that has ever happened in
the history of the party since the days
of populism. -Leadville Herald Dem

DISTRICT COURTS CALLED DOWN

The Post seldom, If ever criticises
the action of the courts, whether su-
preme, district or county but the re-
cent efforts OF judges johnson and
Mullins to take charge of the Denver
city elections and to set aside the
legally elected sheriff and the district
attorney and to prevent them acting
in an investigation of the regularity
and the legality caused an express
sion of wonder among men in both
parties. But there was no surprise
to those who personally know these
judges and know their love for a
"scrap." The effort Of Judge Mullins
to have grand jury called without
any assistance or suggestion from
either the sheriff or the district attor.
ney would have placed such jury IN
der the suspicion of being onesided
or prejudiced body. When Tom Pat
terson was beaten on his munich pal
ownership fake he sought the aid of
Mullins and johnson, both of the same
political affiliations as himself and
asked them to help him out, and 1t
looks from this distance as though
they tried mighty hard to do it.
The supreme court very wisely stepped
in and called a halt. Mind you, no
contest had been fled. no evidences of
fraud had been shown but apparently
from force Of habit these judges
wanted to do something. 1t is we'll

Great Colorado ChdutauQua

The Colorado Chautauqua is an in,
stitution whose name has become
known in every part of the South and
West. Its grounds are located on the
Colorado & Southern railroad at the
edge of Boulder. The Chautauqua
opens July 4 each year, and continues
for FIVE weeks. The greatest lecturers,
educators, entertainers and musicians
of America appear upon the platform.
The location of the Chautauqua is
unsurpassed for beauty and healthful-
ness Imagine table land covering
800 acres on the eastern side of vast
mountain chain, whose sumits are
tipped with everlasting snow. On
the right Nature has formed mighty
chasm whose recesses are lost in the
dome of the continent. On the left,
mile away and 500 feet below, nestles
the Iovliest little city Of America.
In front is spread out mighty plain
extending away toward the boundless
prairies. At the foot of the level mesa
on which the surprised and delighted
beholder stands, is an enchanting val
ley, whose carpet of emerald extends
as far as the eye can reach to the
north, and from which arise the
sounds Of the farm, the gentle lowing
of cattle. the faint bark of the dog or
the distant rumble of train of cars
slowly threading its way towards the
limitless horizon. The scene is one
of enhancing beauty. 1t lulls to
restful meditation, and as the eye
drinks in the infinite softness of noun
tain and plain, and the physical senses
absorb the balmy sweetness of the at
mosphere. the spirit is Involuntary
lifted in alteration of the Mighty
Power which created the surprising
vision.
Most Chautauquans are students;
hence, the Chautauqua summer school.
An effort is made to meet as nearly as
possible all the demands Of those in
attendance. The institution is of
popular character, interesting and
practical, thorough and progressive.
The instructors are all men and women
Of recognized standing who lend in
spiration to those who attend their
classes. The work should appeal very
to teachers who are anxious
to have an outing and at the same

The weary animals almost too jaded to

dust and the wagons creaked and jolted as they
rolled around to the side of the rude corral

the new made proprietor alone in full possession.
In the morning the teamsterS who watered their
stock at the trough made settlement with Maynard
and went their way to brave the heat and dust
that would lodge upon them all day long, like un-
embodied things of prey. Maynard began to wait
The morning passed. the heat of the sun was
intense. Not breath of air was stirring on the
desert. In the afternoon there were two separate
clouds of dust the roads, SO far away southwark
in the level desolation that they seemed mere burs
on the landscape But both were raised by tramping
hoofs, and Maynard watched them crawl across the
desert with eyes that glittered fOrbddngly At four
o'clock the nearest arrived; but neither Blake
nor the gold of Blake comprised the burden OF the
patient animals Contrary to the ordinary custom,
this driver watered his and went His
wagons were light; he had been paid for extra
speed.
The second dust-cloud centered all Maynards
faculties At length the wagons, two of them,
hitched one before the other, almost upon the
station-and Blake not in sight. Maynards
heart sank The horses halted before the place.
A team utterly exhausted, more nearly fam
ished for drink, had arrived at the we'll Their
load extra heavy; the heat had drunk up and
dried out their very vitality.

with Just one half of the ore-sacks piled on the

game. You've heard the price. Pull out without
