4 Some of Foraker's friends are say
ing that he would rather be right
than be president" The Chicago
| Tribune suggests that he would
rather be president than be right"
All this is unnecessary discussion;
he will never be either.
In an Iowa town the authorities
stopped Thanksgiving turkey rattle,
and on the same night one of the
churches held a quilt rattle but that
was not interfered with. 1t seems
to make difference whether a
rattle is for private gain or for
Christ's sake. 1t seems to us there
is distinction without a difference.
According to their headings there
are two Colorado papers that have
the only Morning Press Report Be
tween Leadville and Salt Lake" One
of these is the Durango Demorcat
and the other is the local morning
paper OF course it is highly impor-
tant that both these papers really do
have ''the only morning reports" in
the territory named. In one of them
at least you would hardly notice it If
you were not told.
A Californian has set out to prove

good cattle fodder. but is fit also for
human beings. Thus another break

1t is said that cork carried 200
feet below the surface of the sea will
not rise again. This obviates the
dakger of the deep-sea divers having
salt water mixed with their "bracers."
A good many of the eastern papers
are dropping the fad. and which new
er had any real merit, of running red
lines across the tops of their columns
and red headings throughout iNhe
paper. They are going back to the
good old black and white, for which
long-suffering public is duly thank
ful. The best papers, however,
never employed the fad.
When the whole country goes dry"
what is to become of the prohibition
party? 1t won't have anything to
live for or kick about.-Fort Collins
Courier
| Rest your soul in peace, brother.
the prohibition party has lots of
time to live yet, and there is no doubt
but 1t will find plenty to kick about.
There are too many dry ones in the
country for 1t to go 'dry" in long
time yet.
| 1t will soon be time for those who
have the itching. to get into the "once
ran" class. And the army of "once
mentioned" will also be much aug
mented. In one particular it is bet
ter to be one of the latter than the
| former-it doesn't cost much for the
honor(D.
A good many papers in giving
their editorial opinions, seem to en-
ploy the reportorical rule of dodg-
ing libel suits by saying ''it is alleg-
ed at is rumored," I'VE have
heard 1t stated etc. They do not
appear to be right sure of what they
essay to write about.
4 A man dropped dead behind bar
at Glenwood Springs the other day.
That isn't usually the place where
the dropping dead occurs. Doubt
less he drank by mistake some of the
decoctions intended for the patrons
of the place.
A news dispatch says, "Cortelyou
has no fixed plan. 1t should be re-
membered that n fixed plan" for
any public official is not possible
there are too many to un-fix any plan
that can be devised by man. Give
Cortelyou chance to work out his
plan. If it's good, give him the
credit; If it's bad he'll get the blame,
all right.
The legislature of Oklahoma has
passed law that negroes must ride
in cars and have rooms in depots to
themselves. Heap Big Injun" and
"squaw men" have the same privi-
leges as whites. But then there are a
humber of "Injuns'' and "squaw
men" members of the lawmaking
body of Oklahoma, which makes n
difference, don't you know"
