THE YELLOW PRESS.

If somebody with sufficient fnan-
cial backing would start real, fair
and honest newspaper in Denver it
would be better financial invest
ment than almost any gold mine In
the state, and if the editor of that
paper would live up to the best work
of which thoroughly honest and
conscientious newspaper is capable,
it would be one of the most valuable
assets that this state and its people
could secure. There are but few
things in the state that the people
need be more ashamed Of than of
their large city newspapers, that are
supposed to reflect, if not exactly to
mold public opinion and conditions.
There is not a newspaper in Denver
that could survive in an eastern city,
where there is a fairly honest press,
unless that paper should radically
change its methods.
There Is not newspaper in Dem
ver that is working for the good of
the state as whole. although each
and every one of the four claims to
be the double concentrated extract
of state pride and honor. Each and
every one is working for some little
coterie or clique of political or tinan-
cial grafters. They do not hesitate
to say so Of each other. Their pub
fishers do not hesitate to call each
other perjurers, liars and thieves, in
72-point type. The matter in each
and every one of these ''molders of
public opinion" readily divides it.
self into three departments; what
we are doing for the state; what the
other fellow is doing against the
state; our appeal to the morbid and
the base IN human nature.
A gambler shoots bartender in a
saloon row. The story is worth a
half page of space that would sell at
5000 page to the advertisers.
Every detail of the crime is described
in language and picture. A photo.
graph of each of the principals in
the affair is absolutely necessary.
Then there must also be a line draw
ing to show how the crime vas COM
mitted, with even a dotted line to
show the course of the bullet from
the weapon to the heart of the VIC
tim. If the victim does not fall
Immediately other dotted lines will
show the course he took when he

fore he met the policeman, and then
a picture of the struggle with the
officer before he is disarmed, and
finally the man behind the bars.
All of this is given in revolving de.
tail and it is called good story, &C.
cording to the Denver standard. In
less than week another crime, al.
most Identical in action with the
first is recorded In the same manner.
The question now is, if there is not
an invisible connecting link that
reaches from the first crime to the
vivid description of this in the vel.
low journals, and from there to the
principals in the second crime. II
certainly looks that way.

as Possible

Work on the new Tribune Greeley
directory is progressing as rapidly as
three persons can push the work.
The first canvass is completed and
the town is now being covered again,
for the reople that were not at home
when the canvasser called the first
time.
One of the hardest parts of the
book to get complete is the lodge
and club directory. New lodges and
clubs are organized nearly every week
and it is with great difficulty that
the names of these and their officers
can be secured. The Tribune wants
every one of them for the new direc-
tory and if officers of the various
lodges will send in the names it will
be deemed big favor to the pub
fishers of the book, as we'll as to the
lodge members.

General Curtis has published recent
Iy a book telling the story Of the Six
teenth New York volunteer infantry
tn Its two years service, From Bull
Run to Charlottesville, that being
the title Of his book. The volume is
not merely Fegimental history, but
contains many personal "reminiscences
and comments upon the war In gen
eral. Since the war General Curtis
has lived near his birthplace In north
ern New York, having been honored
three times by election to congress.
Curtis was a captain In the Sixteenth
New York when he began his career
as soldier. His height being six feet
six Inches. his colonel remarked that
he never would be OF much use as a
soldier. because II the enemy could
shoot straight he would be killed in
his first engagement on account of his
conspicuousness as a target Curtis
himself, however never had any fear
Of death owing to presentiment which
he experienced at the beginning of
the war that he was not to be killed
In battle. but would suffer an injury
to his eyesight, Late In the war a
shell destroyed the sight OF his left eye.
As young man before the war Cur
tbs visited Springfield, Ill.,, where Abra-
ham Lincoln was living. He heard
Lincoln make speech. When the fu-
ture president finished his address he
approached the young man and asked
him how tall he was. Curtis told him.
"Slx feet six inchesl' exclaimed Lin
coin. "Ten feet less than rod; thin
as a shlngle aud straight as an arrow. "

IL is said, contlne himself strictly ia

Ing resolutely It's sovereignity over

In conversation with friend Gov.

and justification OF the stand he
had taken In favor of tho creation of

believed his discussion at this time

The governor Intends to elaborate the
arguments he then presented rs OBJ
posed to the tendency of federal CEN

with President Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt policies on question that
the governors friends believe will
figure largely in the canvass for the
Republican presidential nomination.
The governor. It is reported. will
urge the legislature to empower the
state superintendent of banks to take
charge OF and llquidnte all state fidu-
ciary institutions that fail. He will
point out in this connection. It IS
said, that liquidation under the direct
supervision OF the proper state on
Gals would be more expeditions and
economical than the present system
of receiverships.
II is believed also that the gov,
ernor will recommend the bringing
