Bold, Bad Burglars

When F. A. Karpe returned from din
ner on Monday he found that someone
had called at his blacksmith shop during
his absence. The door of his office had
been broken open with sledgehammer
and it was plainly evident that an attempt
had been made to enter the safe. Luckily
Mr.. Karpe had thrown the combination on
the safe when he left, so the wouId-be
robbers were unable to make touch.
Marshal Croop was notified and got onto
the trail of a couple of "hobos" whom he
followed until he found that they had "hlt
the pike and were rapidly going north.

The waterworks question has
not as yet been disposed of. What
are we going to do about it? Shall
we put it off until fire some day
destroys all the fine buildings we
have here? Other towns have
gone heavily into debt to obtain
water, and the people cried rob-
berry and graft, the honor of hav-
ing made towns must be con-
ferred upon the wise heads who
ran the towns into debt that they
might become towns of perma-
nence. For example, Granada is
the oldest town in the lower part
Of the valley, but the people have
been asleep. They have better
country and better chances to
make a town than Lamar had,
yet the latter has, thru the pro-
gressive spirit of its trusted town
daddies, put in the public i'm
provements necessary to attract
those desiring to make a home
where they would have all the
comforts Of modern homes and
progressive business institutions
which can only permanently ex-
list where these public utilities are
available.

Open Season on Editors.

Editor Swisher of the Brecken-
ridge Bulletin was recently as
saulted by man who objected
to his criticisms Of the coal COM
bine existing in Breckenridge,
says Sparks. When Swisher got
thru with his assailant the latter
was in shape to be sent to the
back shop for overhauling and re-
pairs. Editor Miner of The
Holly Chieftain was also sluggsd
a short time ago by man who
did not take kindly to criticism.
Some of the people seem to have
fool notion that the open season
for editors was extended by the
last legislature.

Editors slusssd By Gaiablers.

A gambler in Garden City beat
up Geo. B. Harrison. editor of the
Telegram with brass <nuckles
because of something the Teie-
gram printed about the gambling
that had become so notorious in
that town. Mr.. Harrison was
seriously injured and the gam
bier is in jail on = charge Of as
sault with intent to kill.
Only two weeks before Editor
Miner of the Holly Chieftain was
treated in a like manner by L
gambler Of that town. Both as
.,auiis were cowardly in the ex.
treme, the editors being taken
una,,ares. says Syracuse Journal
These occurrences should be a
.csson to other towns that permit
.ne gambling element to get .
iuothold.
Garden City and Holly have
permitted gambling until the fra
ternity have come to think that
they really have certain vested
rights as gamblers which decent
people must respect.
1t is to be hoped that in both
towns the outrages perpetrated
upon the editors will iopen the
peoples eyes to the class of thugs
they have been harbormg.

Upon motion the mayor ap-
pointed Trustees Wilson and
Stamm to assist him in getting
someone to undertake the con-
struction OF a water system.
Trustees Atkin and Bryce were
appointed to get the fire buckets
and ladders together. In case of
fire remember that Marshal
House has the keys to ladders
and fire buckets.
Trustees Wilson, Simpson and
Atkin were appointed to confer
with the county commissioners
regarding the construction of
permanent road on the south side

Time Change. on Santa Fe.

Tho the Santa Fe has made
some extensive changes in the
running time of its fast trains (ac-
-cording to time scard) there is lit
tie difference in their actual rum
ming. No. 4 is supposed to go
thru about 9 in the morning, and
No. 7 is 20 minutes earlier. The
stub is also an hour earlier and
always on time except when it is
late. This latter train now con-
meets with Denver at La Junta.

Show Well Patronized.

The wild west show Sunday
was we'll patronized, but poorly
conducted, we think. The prin-

the suckers on a sure-thing gam
bling proposition. The officers
of the law who were there should
have compelled the return of the
money that was wagered, as it
was apparent that it was not on
the square.

with virtue that is compulsory /;
with women who have rights
and the other vagaries of the day.
Narrow and old fashioned? Per-
haps. Is keeping the home
'lrudgery? Is teaching the little
men and women a trial? They
ought not be. "The hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world
If we wish to enjoy a fine paint

der good light, and from the
proper distance. So much de-
pends upon the viewpoint.
! sometimes think we would be
better women. better wives. bet
ter mothers. if we were not paid
at all when we have our homes
to work in. God never intended
woman for wage Garner. The
female bird cares for the nest and
the young while the male looks
after the food. We would do

'How Many Would Change
Their Sex if They Could?"
The question which has bet
ter time, a man or woman:
might be answered Y.ankee-like
with another-How many men
would change their sex if they
could; how many women would
not? Unquestionably a man has
a better time under all circum-
stances and in every station Of
life. not only, among thoss Mh2gss

leaves scant opportunity for rec
reation, but among the favorites
Of fortune whose aim in life
seems at times the pursuit Of
pleasure. Society accords to men
unlimited freedom in the grati6-
cation of his tastes, regardless of
conventionalities and traditions
of the woman it exacts strict con-
formity to botl.. To men it grants
the privilege of doubling his
pleasures by choosing the COM
panion who shall share them; Of
the woman society demands pass
i've waiting or cheerful acquies-
cence. Does man choose to in
dulge in taciturn mood and
seek enjoyment alone, society
permits him to go wheresoever
lie will without so much as
challenging glance, but insists
that woman be attended in pleas
ure-seeking by member of her
own or of the opposite sex. If
society chooses-and it always
ioes-she ignores the gravest
iapses from moral standards on
the part of man, but exacts the
utmost penalty from woman
ior even the slightest fall and re-
Uses to condone SO much as the
appearance Of evil. 1t totally dis
regards the fact that the spirit Of
woman has the same aspirations
ior freedom as has that of man,
and with sublime Inconsistency
Withholds wholesome liberty from
the one and bestows hurtful Ii
cense upon the other.
