Among the silliest things os
the many absurd political state
mcnts Denver newspapers are
making, that which claimed a
new party with Roosevelt and
Tom johnson as standard bear
ers, and Lawson as booster, is
about the rankest. Roosevelt is
a Republican and is today one of
the biggest and best satisfied men
in his party. He has been beg
ged and urged to accept the
nomination for another term,
and such a nomination would
mean his reelection. He has re-
fused because he considers that
he has served two terms. Mr..
Roosevelt may admire Tom John
son as an American citizen, but
that he would have a particle of
use for so rank and sensational a
gambling and literary fake as
Lawson. would seem ridiculous
to even his enemies. If Teddy
wanted another nomination he
would know just where to get it
would know that it awaited
him as special honor, and that
it would carry with it not only
the vote of his own great party
but large portion of the votes
Of the Democratic and all other
parties.

Isn't it odd and somewhat tire
some, the way in which old fell
lows like Cody, whose early rep
utation was gained by yellow
backed literature accounts of the
great number of buffalo he ruth
lessly shot down, try to keep up
a stage reputation by publicity of
escapades with frail wives of
husbands whose main excuse for
being considered alive is that
they inherited wealth? However
this upper crust of dead-beat ad-
vertising has got to be much de-
pended upon by nature's-not

ancient Buffalo Bill shouldn't

The fact is being commented on
quite generally by the press of
the Western Slope, all the papers
recommending trading at home.
This is but just, where home
merchants try as hard to meet
the demands and competition in
prices as ours do. 1t is practi-
cally impossible for buyers to
patronize these far away houses
and get the same quality of
goods, and save money after all
the costs are counted, for freight
and express charges are high on
small lots, quite enough to eat
up the difference in prices. Then
there is always the chance of
getting the worst of it in the
stuff you buy and have no oppor-
tunity to inspect until you have
parted with your cash. The home
merchant is a citizen of your
home territory. He has got to
offer you goods of standard quail
ity or you wont have them. Be-
sides he is a local taxpayer and
helps to keep up the home town
and the home country. He is
from every view point the first
to be considered in the matter of
trade, and his claims ought to be
given very careful consideration.
While there is little likelihood
of national administration

election, it is well enough to
point out the undesirability OF
such a change, which woulc

WOULD PUT BAN
ON SPITE FENCES
SEVENTH WARD OBJECTS TO
THE OBSTRUCTION
Neighbors' Warfare Will Be Restricted
by Council if City Attorney Can
Find the Necessary Legal
Authority

Councilman Henry Lyon asked the
city council yesterday to pass meas
ure which would ma it misde-
meanor in future to erect spite
fences.
He declared that in the Seventh
ward there were a number of fragrant
cases of spite fences due to neighbors'
wars, and while each side perhaps
thought it was deeply aggrieved the
public was the most heavily injured
because of the hideous structures.
The measure was referred to the city
attorney to learn whether such an or
dinance could be passed and if so to
prepare the proper phraseolog%
The councils action yesterday was
largely prompted through the action Of
Isadore B. Dockweiler, president of the
library board, and Police Captain Will
liam H. Auble, on South Hope street,
near Eighteenth, who tried in vain to
prevent e. Dusoe from erecting plas-
tered wood double flats on the prop
erty lines, though every house in the
block has a generous front garden.
Messrs. Dockweiler and Auble had
appealed to the board OF public works,
health department, building depart
ment and the mayor in a vain effort to
stop Dusoe, but they could not check
erection Of the flats.
