BRO. OLIVER is shocked at our

will consult the lads" in his free
colored supplement he will find
several beside of which a good
clean saloon "ad" is quite re-

print an lad" for a decent saloon

OF all the sycophants, parasites
and lick -spittles that corporations
ever had in the state of Colorado
for their own exclusive use,
Speaker Breckenridge, of the
house, is it. Absolutely it is be-
yond the mere condition of dis
gust with which this tool OF the
corporations can be viewed.
There have been men who have
served the corporations in this
state perhaps as well as Brecken-
ridge, but none have ever f1aunted
their subserviency as has Breck-
enridge. The fellow revels in
the knowledge that he is the cor
poration's own and is ready at all
times to do the bidding of the
bosses.-Grand Junction Heard.

WITH his customary, disregard
for the truth Mr. Oliver says that
the chairman of the Citizens
Convention asked this editor how
we wished the nominations made" "
We can prove by twenty men
that this statement is false. The
exact tact is that after we made
certain remarks in opposition to
nominating Vincent and had
placed Geo. Graham's name be-
fore the convention, thus causing
ballot or a counted vote neces-
sary, the chairman asked us how
we would suggest taking the vote,
and we answered that a ballot
would be best. Upon such slen-
der threads hang the hope of the
Boosters success 1t is to laugh.

WHEN called down by Mr..
Vincent for over riding the rules
of the house, Speaker Brecken-
ridge announced that he would
suspend the rules whenever he
saw fit. Beautiful utterance for
a speaker to make wasn't itr We
should like to hear a defense OF
this action of the speaker. Bill
Smith in his palmiest day never
abrogated a rule. He sometimes
evaded them but he had a little
respect for his reputation as a

VOTERS should take notice of
the very disrespectful manner in
which the Paonia Friend treats
the matter of election. Libeling
the supporters of the Citizens
ticket as advocates of buns,
drunkards, murders and the like
may be the Christian way of max
ing a campaign, but it is not a
decent way. The citizens ticket
will be supported by as high a
grade of morality and intelligence

DELTA is making the issue
"Wet" or DRY" again this year
and is putting up tickets advo-
eating these principles. This is
not according to our ideas OF the
way to handle this question. Let
the people vote on the question
and then pledge the candidates
tc abide by the decision of the
people.-Booster.
The above from the Paonia
Booster leads us to remark that
if they have any regard tor re
tanning or acquiring a reputation
for consistency they should let
Judge Baxter edit their paper
through city campaigns. lnas
much as they are fighting and de-
claiming exactly the opposite of
above ideas so far as the home
campaign is concerned. they
should let Delta alone. Delta is
running their campaign on pre-
cisely the same lines as the
Booster wants TO run our city
campaign.

THE Booster says thai the kind
of politics Vincent advocates are
very different from those of this
editor. Possibly. Nevertheless
Mr.. Vincent has not yet cast d
vote in the Legislature that we
would not have cast had we been
in his place. Either the Booster
is wrong or Vincent has strayed
very close to the democratic
camp.

A SpIendid Compliment.

The following resolutionwas adopted
BY the Texas annual conference held
at Tyler, Texas, Dec. 8, 1906:
Whereas, the Tyler Commercial
College of Tyler, Texas, looks care
fully after the morals of its pupils and
strives to develop them in character
as we'll as in education; and, whereas.
it is the policy of this church to foster
Christian education in private institn-
lions as we'll as in our church schools,
be it
Resolved, That this conference
heartily endorses the Christian work of
that great institution and commends the
Christian gentlemen at its head.
This is, perhaps, the first CONNER
cial school in the south to merit the
Endorsement of large religious body.
While the school is undenomin ational,
it pays special attention to character
building aud the moral surroundings
of the students. The marvellous sue.
cess of this great institution is mainly
due to its use of the famous modern
Byrne systems, and its sending tie
students away morally strengthened,
instead OF moral wrecks.

A freaf Seed Rnnk.

Ferry's great seed book is now ready
for distribution. This is the book that
every farmer wants and waits for. It
| makes no difference what other cata-
logues are received. farmers are not
satisfied until they get Ferry's, because
it contains better and fuller informa-
ton.
Ferry's Seed Annual, in fact, is
really more than a. eatalogue. 1t diff
fers from the usual seed catalogue in
as much as it really helps each farmer
or gardener to choose intelligently the
varieties best suited to his particular
needs. The wise selection of varieties
results in bigger, better paying crops.
The experience gained in fifty years of
successful seed growing is thus at your
command.
For freshness, purity and reliability
Ferry's seeds are in class by them
selves. They are known all over the
land, and farmers everywhere have
confidence in the name of Ferry, and
know for certainty that their seeds
can be relied upon. They know that
every package has behind it the repu-
tation of a house whose business stand
ards are the highest IN the trade.
Just drop a postal to D. M. Ferry |
& Co., Detroit, Mich, and they will
send you copy of their 1907 seed an
nual. It is absolutely free.

Fourteen e-witneSseS testi-
some of them, at varying distances,
and that they were negro troops, most
OF the witnesses giving their testimony
in, such shape that there is no posi-
bility of their having been mistaken.
Two other witnesses saw some of the
assailants and testified that they were
soldiers (the only soldiers in the
neighborhood being the colored
! troopsl.
-Four other witnesses testified to
hearing the shooting and hearing
the voices of the men who were doing
it, and that these voices we're those of
negroes, but they did not actually see
the men who were doing the shooting.
About twenty other witnesses gave
testimony corroborating to greater
OR less degree the testimony OF those
who thus saw the shooters or heard
them. The testimony of these eye and
ear witnesses would establish beyond
all possibility of contradiction the
fact that the shooting was committed
by ten or fifteen, or more, Of the negro
troops from the garrison.
s'This testimony would be amply
sufficient in itself, If not cartridge
or bullet had been found; exactly as
the bullets and cartridges that were
found would have established the guilt
of the troops even had not a single
eye witness seen them, or other wit
nesses heard them.
"The testimony of the whites on the
position of the bullet holes show that
fifteen or twenty of the negro troopers
gathered inside the fort, and that the
first shots fred into the town were
fred from within the fort; some of
them, at least, from the upper gal
leries of the barracks. ~ Indeed,
the fuller details as established by the
additional evidence taken since I last
communicated with the senate, make
it likely that there were few, if any, of
the soldiers dismissed who could have |
been ignorant of what occurred.
'sThe additional evidence thus taken
renders it in my opinion impossible
to question the conclusions upon which
my order was based.
II have gone most carefully over
every issue of law and fact that has
been raised. am now informed that
The effect of my order, Diminishing the
men without honor, was not to bar
Them from all civil employment under
he government, and therefore that the
part of the order which consisted of
declaration to this effect was lacking
n validity, and I have directed that
iuch portion be revoked. As to the
est of the order dismissing the indi-
RITUALS in question without honor and
declaring the effect of such discharge
lnder the law and regulations to be a
,ar to their future re-enlistment either
q the army or the navy, there is no
oubt of my constitutional or legal
'ower. The order was within my dis
retion, under the constitution and !
ne laws, and cannot be reviewed or !
eTersed save by another executive
rder. The facts did not merely war; =
ant the action | took-they rendered !
ach action imperative unless 1 was to !
rove false to my sworn duty. >
IF any one of the men discharged
GREATER shows to my satisfaction 4
lat he is clear of guilt, or of shield. !
lg the guilty, will take what action :
warranted; but the circumstances I
ave above detailed must certainly
ut upon any such man the burden of
JUS clearing himself" p

The mortality statistics of New Or
leans for the year 1906 show that the
death rate was the lowest ever re-
corded in that city. There can be no
question that the improved drainage
OF the streets and low places, the
screening of cisterns and other sani-
tary work effected and in progress
have exercised highly beneficial in
fuence upon the public health, and
that this is likely to be continued and
increased until, with her modern sew
erage and pure water systems in ope-
ration, New Orleans becomes admit
tedly the healthiest large city in the
United States.
