More and more every year the

as the white man has Withdrawn

OUR republican friends are con-

they are worried because Clint
Oliver insists that he must have a

year but when he could only get
the Taxpayers nomination, lost
his interest and let it slide. This

vINCENT'S OPINION.

In .ontradistinction to the
slop now going the rounds regard
ing the sincerity of Gov. Buchtel,
the following excerpts from re-
marks recently made by Hon.
M. d. Vincent, are refreshing,
and bear testimony to the fact
that our representative is neither
a fool or a cowardly hypocrite:
81 think Gov. Buchtel is follow
ing absolutely the dictates and
commands of the railroad corpor-
ations whose money elected him. ="
Gov. Buchtel's actions are
nothing less than criminal be-
trayal of the confidence of the
people who trusted him"
The governor forgets that he is
a servant of the people, not a
master. In six short weeks he
has wrecked himself and the Re
publican party in the state"
Every day by his treachery, he
is making it impossible for any
republican to succeed him"
Gov. Buchtel is holding eau
cuses for no other reason on earth
than to delay legislation so no
railroad bill can be passed"
The newspaper., 1907-03-08

GRADUALLY the republican
press is beginning to come over
and declare that railroad leglsla-
ton at this time would be unwise.
The esteemed Lake City Times,
paper that is close in
with the G. o. p. powers, eXhaus
lively discusses the question in a
late issue and comes to the con
clusion that the corporations
should be very tenderly dealt with
if at all. Mr.. Blair occupies a
position where he can shape his
course not as he would wish, per-
haps, but as he is compelled to,
in order to stay in line with the
gang. He is chief clerk of the
house of representatives and
quite clearly sees that no legisla
ton of value will be permitted to
pass. Even the Booster, which
has been bravely trying to pre-
tend that it was in sympathy with
M. d. Vincent, is a very able de-
fender of Gov. Bucktail and is
quite obviously arranging to see
that the party leaders are quite
right and Mr.. Vincent entirely
wrong in trying to oPPress the
poor railroads. We expect to
read an article in this weeks
Booster explaining why the bas-
tard caucus bill, SO self evidently
impotent for good that no man
will honor it with his name, is
lust the measure that North Fork
Fruit Growers need. And, by
the time they have got in line
with it, the bill will be dead,
slaughtered by its sires. 1t is
beautifully easy to be rePubli-

w. c. BLAIR, of the Lake City
Times, says he is anxious about
the result of passing a railroad
law for fear the western slope
will suffer reverses from re-
duced rates and decent service.
Calm yourself dear boy, observe
the equanimity with which the
railroads view the impending ca
lamity. Their placid indifference
should serve to remove your
anxiety in a great degree.

WHEN Senator Bardwell last
Friday attempted to expunge
from the senate records all votes
except the one reporting the
fatherless railroad bill favorably,
there was clear exposition of
the disgrace which the majority
feel that they rest under. That
motion was confession that they
feared to have the vote on the
various motions published to the
world. Only the integrity Of
Lieutenant Governor Harper
saved the most vicious motion
ever made in a Colorado legisla-
ture from being carried. He
ruled it out of order. We enjoy
an acquaintance with Mr. Harper,
have fought him sincerely along
political lines, but we could not
be more sincere in congratulating
a democrat than we are in expires
sing our qualification that he was
strong enough to slap Senator
Bradwell in the face and rule his
Infamous motion as absolutely
null and void.

SCHOOL COLUMN.

The second beginning class for
this school year will be organized
the first Monday in April and all
parents desiring to enter begin
ners this spring should present
them at that time. The legal
school age is six but pupils who
would be six by the close of the
school year will be accepted if
sufficiently mature to do good
work. We must insist on pupils
being entered exactly on the date
named if it is at all possible. Be-
ginners entering late are at a
great disadvantage to say nothing
of the loss occassioned to other
pupils.
The matter of good pencils and
good paper for pupils Is one that
should receive the attention of
every parent Primary pupils es-
pecially are often furnished with
cheap penny pencils and the poor
est grade of writing paper.
This may seem a small matter
but it is not. No one can write
we'll on poor paper and child
finds it difficult to learn to write
on paper that no adult would
use unless compelled to. The pa
per for the primary pupils should
have good surface and the pencil
should be soft enough so that the
pupil does not have to press hard
to make distinct mark Indeed
much of the slow, crsmped finger
movement in our schools can be
traced to very short pencils con-
tanning very hard and poor lead.
The child is compelled to press
down very hard with such a pen
Gil in order to make mark at all
and this induces slow, laborious.
cramped finger movement which
is the greatest difficulty we have
to contend with in teaching a
rapid easy hand. A good soft
pencil which writes at a touch
helps greatly in producing free.
running hand.
1t has come to the time of the
year when parents must decide
whether their older children are
to stay in school until the close OF
the year or stay out to work. Our
upper grade pupils are doing es
pecially good work and the great
majority will make their grades If
given an opportunity. OF course
all pupils under sixteen come un-
der the compulsory law and are
required to be present every day
the school is in session. Do not be
tricked into believing that your
child can stay out month or two
at the beginning and end of each

"The Great Diamond Robbery"
Last Night.

The Empire Stock Company pre-
sented The Great Diamond Rob-
berry" last night at the Klinger Grand
in creditable manner.
The play contains strong dramatic
action and is enlivened by good,
clean comedy.
Mrs. Montrose, an extremely rich
widow, lives at Long Branch, New
York, with her son, Julius, who be-
comes infatuated with Mary Mar
shall, then acting as servant girl.
Mrs. Montrose, upon her departure
one evening to a social function, left
her $4,000 diamond necklace in
care of Miss Marshall. Jim Bran
don, a thief, who had a grudge at
young Montrose, entered the house
and secured the valuable jewelry. In
order to free Mary Marshall from
suspicion of the theft, Julius Mont
rose swears that he took the dia-
monds. and sets forth with Peter
Grump. the lawyer. "who proves his
points with the book" to find the
guilty party. After FIVE years the
thief is discovered and brought to
justice.
The pathos of young Montrose
leaving home an innocent yet sus-
pected man. his earnest endeavor 10

loyalty of Mary Marshall. the wo-
man he loved touches the hearts of
all who hear the story.
