Palace Above the Clouds.

An ice palace, lighted with vari-
colored lights, is one of the sights
which Will attract Colorado tourists
hereafter. And it will be the only at
traction of the kind in the world.
The ice palace which is thus to be
lighted up is on the Argentine Central
road at :hc summit of Mount McClel-
Ian, more than $4,000 feet above sea
level. 1t has been formed by the melt
ing SHOWS of countless ages, which
have been frozen as the nights sue
ceeded the warm days of the summer
Heretofore th- palace has never been
accessible, and is now reached by tour
lists only by reason of the completion
of the Argentine Central.
The palace is reached in a four-hour
trip from De..ver, and as in making
this trip one .soes from a height of
$500 feet to II -)re than $4,000 feet in
little less ti,dn four hours, and in
reaching the palace travels over the
Georgetown loop. this trip is destined
to become one of the most famous one
day trips for tourists in the state.
The palace is now Illuminated only
by candles. but wires are being strung
to the summit of the mountain and
lights galore will be placed in the ice
riffs.
In addition to the announcement Of
electrically lighting the palace the rail-
road company has also given out that Il
new train leaving Denver at a. m.
every morning except Sunday, will be
placed in service, beginning June 18th.
when the regular summer season
opens.

THE POLITICAL POT SINNERS.
Bryan Won't Run With Roosevelt, but
May Run Against Him.


Chicago.-William Jennings Bryan
arrived in Chicago and in statement
Of his views made at the Press Club
struck away all moorings that might
unite the political destinies of himself
and Theodore Roosevelt in the cam
paign of 1908. Bryan declared un-
equivocally that nothing except Jug
Cling of words could make it appear
that another term for the President
would be second term instead of a
third. He made it plain that if Roose-
welt should be renominated the oppo-
sition to third term would loom up
as an issue, and reasserted his declara-
ton that the President recognized the
objection in his statement on election
night, 1904.
Mr.. Bryan was silent regarding
Roger C. Sullivan and fight upon the
Democratic state committee. He said
that he for the present had said all
that he cared to say on that subject.
What is your attitude toward rum
ming for President on the Democratic
ticket?" was asked Mr.. Bryan.
Il have not reached point where
have made up my mind concerning
my own position in the coming cam
paign. All l can say is that l much
appreciate the confidence expressed by
such resolutions as those drawn by the
Jefferson Club. l do not feel like TAX
ing any formal action in regard to
them at this time"

Says All ohio for Taft.

Misunderstanding I. Vorys, the
man chosen to be the Mark Hanna OF
the Taft presidential campaign, is in
town for the purpose of comforting
with Secretary Taft, Congressman
Burton of Ohio. Secretary Garfield and
other Taft men.
Mr.. Vorys said that Ohio was for
Taft and no one uenied it. Asked
about holding convention to give
public Endorsement to Taft, Mr.. Vorys
declared that as yet no plans had been
formulated-thati it was hard for the
Taft followers in Ohio to agree on a
plan.
When we talk convention" said
Mr.. Vorys. many will remark that it
is not necessary-that Taft is over
whelmingly the choice of Ohio Repub-
licans-and there you are"

: New York for Roosevelt.

Washington.-New York is for
Roosevelt, the country is for Roose-
welt, and, in my judgment, he will be
renominated and reelected"
These are the words of Representa-
tive Sherman of New York, chairman
Of the Republican congressional COM
mittee, as he was leaving the White
House after an interview with the
President.
The President. Mr.. Sherman said,
would not consent to New York
delegation pledged to him to the ma
tional convention, but when some
other state presents his name they will
be there to vote for him.

THE SPIRIT THAT is G0ING TO
MAKE THE GREATER
AMERICUS.

There is no doubt but that
Americas is growing quietly,
substantially and satisfactorily.
People at home as well as visitors
are daily being impressed with
that fact.
While the Board of Trade has
probably not yet accomplished as
much in direct, visible results in
the bringing to Americas of new
industries, as our people would
have liked to see, yet there is no
doubt of the fact that at the pres
ent time there is better spirit OF
co operation and helpfulness and
hopefulness among the people Of
Americas than ever before. And
this spirit is going to do things
for the future. And such spirit
is the best asset that the Board of
Trade or the city of Americas
could have.
Americas needs more houses,
more residences to accommodate the
number of people who want to
come to this city to liye. The
secretary of the Board of Trade,
the live real estate men of the
city, will confirm these statements.
1t ought not to take much faith in
getting the real estate owner, the
contractor, the banker, the capt.
talist and the architect together
and straightway begin the erection
of the necessary and suitable class
of dwellings required for the
growth Of Americas.
More people, more industries, a
bigger and greater and more beau
tiful city, can be built up right
here in Americas during the next
few years. The opportunity is
here, and The Times-Recorder is
confident that the people of Amer
icus are going to meet it half way.
Let every one in proportion to his
means do his part as an individual f.,
and let us foster and develop in
every possible way the loyal, faith
full, hopeful, helpful community
spirit that makes a city solid,
substantial, progressive and pros
porous.

RIGHT OR WRONG?

Georgia wants immigration,
right or wrong. Rome Tribune.
No. That is not correct state
ment. Georgia wants only the
right kind of immigrants, and it
wants them in the right way. 1t
does not want an undesirable
class, and it does not want them
brought here through misrepre-
sensations abroad, or perjury at
the port of Observation-Disclosures
Times Recorder.
Georgia, of course, would prefer
the best class, but our belief is
that there is not as much danger
from foreign immigration as some
people seem to think. Immigrants
who come here express by this very
act a desire to be Americanized
and speedily become so. 1t is
wrong, of course, to entice them
mere by misrepresentation and to ad-
nit them by false methods. How
ever, there are plenty of good, in
dustrious foreigners knocking at
our doors, for whom we have work
and of whom the south stands in
need. Many an immigrant was
unpromising when he landed here,
but under the influence of our in
dustrial life and institutions he
speedily became a good citizen.
We trust the Americas Times
Recorder will not be too..critical.-
