modern merchant OF today is a model
citizen. On him the eyes Of the whole
community rest, and to him the whole
community looks for all that is up
right, honorable and Just. The worth
Of any city or state Is determined by
the worth of the merchants compris-
ing It. Fill a city with dishonest, un-
scrupulous merchants who will EN-
brace every opportunity to overreach
their customers In their dealings, ana
you will develop a dishonest citizen
ship which will sooner or later prove
a menace to society," Fill city with
honest merchants and the result will
be a people with high standard of
honesty and morality.

means solid and permanent pros
perity. The merchant is the pulse of
prosperity, he is the barometer which
is the infallible test that indicates the
measure of prosperity that any city
possesses. If the merchants are slow
ami unprogressive, the city that har-
bors them is of the same quality But
when the merchants of city are
aggressive, then that city is alert, ac-

organization. the public Is benefited
by having better citizens. Often 1t is
charged that merchants organize sim
ply to raise prices and fleece the pub
lie. These charges are often made in
good faith, and by people who ought
to know better. A man in Portland
told me that the grocers' association
had been the cause of raising the price
of eggs. While we have accomplished
a good deal, we have never yet been
able to make an arrangement with the
hens, and had to refer this gentleman
to the secretary of the hens union.
So far as prices are concerned, the
cost of the commodities are usually
published in the daily papers. so that
any housewife may figure out the ex-
orbitant charges her grocer may make.
'The merchant that belongs to an
organization is the one that the pub
lie should and can trust. His affil-
iation means that he is trustworthy
and that he is intelligent. 1t means
that he is honorable, and that he is a

Special Cor respondence of the Republican.)-Here at Iron Springs. whether il is because we are so much nearer the heavenly canopy or that our minds and thoughts are more placid and restful. and We have time to look up and around us, the beauties of Nature receive an un- usual measute of attention and appre- citation. Instinctively one looks for the mirage places and floating landscapes in the heavenly blue; listens for the low rumble which precedes the black storm clouds as they roll over City hill. and bring the welcome showers Nand the nerve-racking electrical displays; and turning the face westward at sun set to behold the indescribable spec tacle upon which the curtain of night falls daily. The delicate tints of the after glow which follows the disap- pearance of the sun in from four to ten minutes are seen here in marvellous beauty. The stars and clouds seem nearer. and the moon is almost as large and bright as it was 'befoah the wah'' The August meteOrs flash up and leave their trails of fire.

Within FIVE years it will
be an axiom in education that you

This is the governors opinion
of free education. He gives his
remedy for this great evil. Here
il is:
Our School of Mines now
charges 500 year in tuition to
the 125 students from outside
Colorado, while tuition IS free tc
the 175 students from this state.
In September OF 1905 this tuition
charge to students from outside
will be advanced to Sl50. This
is good and wholesome. and ought
to be adopted by all the state
institutions A nominal charge for
tuition should be made for all
students from our own state, and
a charge which approximates the
cost of the Instruction should be
made for students from outside
the state"

posed to this scheme. If our
