What the farmers want said a
prominent citizen of Hays to US the
first of the week, &c is, not a two-cent
fare, but higher prices for their pro-
ducts, grain, etc." Wedo not see why
the two-cent fare, which has since then
been adopted, willnot be of equal bene-
mt to the farmer that it is to the
townsman. AS to the higher prices
for his products, that the farmer is
getting right along. Not one will de-
ny that he is this year receiving more
for his wheat, more for his cattle and
more for his cream than he has ever
been paid before. Farmers desire
cheaper and more competent labor
All, there is a vital cord which strikes
home to the heart of the farmer.
what is true in his case is also true in
the city. We pay $3.50 or $500 and
board for common laborer who works
till ne gets tired and quits. ''Where
can we obtain competent help?" is the
all-important question the farmer is
asking the world to-day. And farm
ing is not the only occupation where
the "the harvest is great and the
laborers few" Almost every line of
business calls for more men and bows.
In the printing business, for instance.
there are probably score of vacancies
IN print shops over the state who await
printers and typesetters at high wages.
For once it is true that work seeks |
the man and not the reverse, as is /
generally the case.

That New Flat.

Bifkins and his wife are bucking
the domestic tiger these days, having
just moved into their first and only
little home!
Sunday they went out or a consti-
tutional along the lake
After writing in the sand, listening
to the roar of the waves, watching
the children romping on the strand
and eating their fill of crackerjack,
they turned toward "the dearest little
fat on the North Side," satisfied.
At the door Bifkins searched for his
keys in vain.
Then as they stood there looking
into each others eyes, he remembered
leaving the much missed jinglers in
his Office desk, seven miles away!
Bifkins and his wife had heard
much about burglars and had taken
due precaution against invasion, hence
they were irrevocably and helplessly
locked out!
when Bifkins had telephoned the
Office for a messenger boy, they sat
down on the steps and waited.
Then they waited some more!
After going across the street to Sc
lect an emergency place for camping
out, they waited again!
Did you notice that nice soft place
in the grass over there? interrupted
Bifkins. Excuse me a minute, I be-
Heve I'll go over and turn in!''
1t was dark now; very dark.
Bifkins went over to the drug store
and telephoned again
boy left with your keys an hour
ago." came the answer from the Office.
Then they waited some more!
Dear" said Bifkins, in a low con-
tralto voice, dear, this being Sun
day night, 1 believe that messenger
boy has stopped on the way to see
his girl. I" But Mrs. Bifkins
would have no more of it. There is
very little Indian blood in her and
she wanted to get into her dear little
home again.
After long, long time, the boy
came.
Then they entered their flat-and
discovered they had gone out that
afternoon and left the back door open!
There are times when words are in
adequate! This was one of the times.

Judge Lindsay.

We seldom point with pride, but this
department expressed the opinion that
Judge Ben B. Lindsay was being great
ly over estimated nearly two years ago.
-''On second thought" column, Cap
ital, Aug. 18th.
We can but express surprise that the
able editor of this department should
let a four liner like the above slip from
his pencil. And the only excuse we
can offer is that the writer has had lit
tie opportunity to get acquainted with
the man and his work The things ac-
comphshed by little Judge Ben B. Lind
say, of the Juvenile court of Denver,
are too many to enumerate here, but
make interesting reading for any in
dividual with manhood or womanhood
enough to appreciate an effort made in
behalf cf the coming men and women
of the land, against those influences
that destroy home life and demoralize
citizenship. Judge Lindsay does not
boast of perfection, but he has a pur-
pose and heart that is big enough,
that is sustained by an unfaltering
trust, - to protect the boys and girls of
Colorado and as far as possible, the
nation, from illiteracy and vice, by
placing the responsibility and punish
ment, not upon the child but upon the
parent where it belongs. We are proud
of personal acquaintance with his
Honor and know there are thousands
of boys and girls in Denver, who when
the name of Judge Ben B. Lindsay is
mentioned, think of him as the man
who made it possible for them to bet
ter their condition in life. Instead of
''seldom pointing with PRIDE ''On
second thought ought to ''never point
with pride"> until an apology is made
as publicly as the affront was made, to
his honor Judge Ben B. Lindsay. Mar
