The Village Paper.

Since the days OF Franklin and long
before-the village paper has been an
institution. All important Gin its own
estimationD, essential, chronicler, as
big as the village baby, and as neces-
sary, the village paper has an exist
ence as varied as the leaves OF the
forest. Whatever may be its unitarian
value, it cannot always be an oracle
Its mission is two-fold: 1t tries to
make money and can't; it tries to
make friends and doesn't But for all
that, the village paper first, last and
ali the time stands for the town.
Whatever else may happen; no matter
what kind of a row or mix up 1t may
bring about, the one thing that
dominates its career at all times is
that it stands up for the town 1t gets
its knocks, is banged around from
pillar to post, but it stands UP for
the town. The village paper tries to
please everybody, but when it believes
this task complete, with conSummate
JOY it throws bouquets at itself, only
to find that it has kicked over the milk
pail and didn't know it. The fullest
realization of antithesis is epitomized

"The Better Element.

A gentleman in Palisade has called
the editors attention to the fact that in
discussing the situation here the term
'better element" was used as applied to
those representing the non-lawsult side
of the public discussion. We hasten to
say that this was an error of the head
and not of the heart There has never
a thought entered the mind OF this
writer as to caste The term alluded to
was mistake and gladly offer the
aWaende honorable to all.

but rather how much you can give to it.

Tanning the Editor.

the Taxpayers Association to create
the impression that THE PALIsADIAN
was in bad ordor before this community
by stating that its reports of current
events in Palisade we're unfair and I'M
true, was as unjust as it was uncalled
for. If right minded people will go
back over the files of this paper and
find one single thing that indicates an
unfair feeling, or an attempt to hold
any one up to public ridicule, public
apology will gladly be made. When
the attention of the editor was recently
called by letter to certain statements
that were not correctly reported, he at
once sent polite reply, reply far
more courteous than the letter which
brought it forth. He got no answer. The
answer, however, was given in the
minutes of the August 3Ist meeting,
read Oct. II, in which several members
of the Taxpayers Association figured
quite conspicuously, but none quite to
the disadvantage as did this editor. The
feeling behind those minutes was plainly
in evidence, and their fairness question
ed by many who were present. This
paper seriously doubts that they were
even written by the secretary who was
present at the meeting in question and
to whom they are credited, believing
that they were not only inspired, but
actually dictated by another. 1t was
evident that some dirty linen needed air.
ing, and these minutes left the only soil
ed clothes upon the editor But he can
stand it. as he has many other filings
from parties who are too timid to come
to him alone and make the statements
contained in letters.
This paper has endeavored to be a
responsible journal, and has worked
along lines where it would be esteemed
for the wisdom, fairness and aptness of
its utterances.. 1t can be said with
truth that there was much qualification
in the fact that the attempt to censure
The PALIsADIAN was nipped in the
bud by member of the association who
thought he foresaw another disagreeable
episode, and who arose in proper protest
at the outrage. The attempt to provoke
the editor to any sort of retort proved
abortive, so far as the last meeting of
the association was concerned. There
are more ways than one of killing cat.
Throwing stones will not always prove
effective. 1t matters little through what
channel or down what road it came, the
indisputable fact remains that the law
suit has been laid on the shelf, for which
heaven be praised 1t is to everybody's
credit and to the everlasting good of
Palisade that this is true. There are
those who will say that the whole thing
was bluff, anyhow, and that a lawsuit
was never intended. But that won't
wash The damage was great in that

this agitation taken place? Who will
say it would have done nothing at all?
1t has been shown by indisputable evil
dence that the company's heads are men
of character and standing, quite as good
as any of those in Palisade who have
villified them. Where, therefore, was
the logic of the wholesale attack upon
them? Perhaps it was all misunder-
standing. Let us hope So Men will
differ upon occasion. It has been so
since the days of Adam The PALS
ADAM never fought the man who
composed the lawsuit element, but it
did try to create sentiment against it,
with the same emphacis that was evil
denced by the other side And why
not? Since when has any man,, or set
of men, assumed the right to deny free
speech or muzzle the press? By what
supreme power of might or dictatorship
has one man, or two men, or three, or
four, to say his neighbor is a traitor to
the community because he cares to OPP
pose a measure which seemed fraught
with danger? By the same power aand
right vouchsafed in the constitution of
the country, any man has the right OF
free speech Who has denied the other
side the right to public utterance? Who
has abused them for it? Certainly not

has said aught, even in criticism, OF any
speech or statement on this issue.

greatest faith in the coming home" of
things. 1t believes in retribution. 1t
believes i'll the theory of Carlyle who
said that no man ever did another a

been written to this paper be true, the
editors reward is certain. AS certain
as the stars are true to their orbits, his
will be the proper end at the proper
time And more than that, if the
charges that have been made are one
half true, the spirit behind THE PALS
adam will get its deserts. There is
a divinity and a destiny that shapes
such matters as sure as fate, and it can
neither be lodged nor disdained. The
editor would be denied the right to
choose sides on a public issue, but only
one side can be right! There was
time when by vote of the Association
certain members declared themselves
against the lawsuit. Then there a few
reflections. Did the paper go after these
men and say they were traitors to
Palisade? 1t could have done so with
equal privilege with those who well
coined them into their ranks. AS much

through these columns to prove that the

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
AT THE PENITENTIARY

A vaudeville troupe from the Nov
city Theatre at Denver under the di-
rection of Duncan & Hoffman, gave a
very pleasing entertainment at the
chapel of the penitentiary Thursday
afternoon for the benefit of the con-
victs. The program was an excellent
one and each feature was enthusiastic
cally applauded by the audience, which
it is safe to say was one OF the most
appreciative the company ever en-
deavored to entertain.
Harry Rousell in his daring trapeze
and aerial acts was one OF the best
seen here for a long time and elected
deserved applause and admiration
from those who witnessed his mar
vellous performance. Miss Lucille
Tilton as a baritone singer was a
novelty and her work was admirable.
Miss Tilton was repeatedly encored
by the audience.
Paul Ladrue in the role OF the
daffy dame" afforded merriment for
everybody and demonstrated himself
to be an artist in his particular line
of entertainment. The antics OF Mr..
Ladrue in the daffy dame" will be
talked about at the prison for some
time.
The "Geislers" in their musical act
were marvel and have probably nev-
er been excelled in this city. They
won for themselves hearty and gen.
erous applause.
Duncan & Hoffman in their singing

OF July PARDON .....
GIVEN TO WOMAN CONVICT

The first woman convict in the Col
orado State Penitentiary for a long
time to be made the beneficiary of the
executive pardon was Mrs. Mary Caf-
feri, who was liberated from that in
stitution on Thursday in commemora-
ton of the national anniversary.
Previous to the beginning of a vaude
Vile performance at the prison chapel
at o'clock Thursday afternoon by a
Denver theatrical troupe for the en-
tertainment of the convicts, Warden
Cleghorn announced that In conform
ity with the promise made by Governor
Buchtel few weeks ago, Fourth of
July pardon had been granted.
Before I tell you who it is that is
to receive it, said Warden Cleghorn,
at would be wise for those of you
who have made bets on the subject
to pull them down, for you are sure
to be surprised when l tell you the
name of the lucky individual"

ued Warden Cleghorn, "since the
womans department of this prison
has received recognition at the hands

Buchtel is now out of the state, but

one is Mary Cafferi, and she is hereby
given a full, free and unconditional
pardon. In addition to the pleasure
it gives me to announce this pardon
l have the honor to convey to Santiago
Tafoya, now in this institution under
of sentence to life Imprisonment"
At the conclusion of the warden's
address there was an enthusiastic ap
plause lasting several minutes, a
tribute to his popularity as chief ad
minstrator of the prison and to the
satisfaction with which his announce
ments had been received.
Mrs. Webb of Norfolk, Virginia,
mother of Mrs. Cafferi, was present,

THE FIRST CIRCUS MARKS
AN ERA IN A BOYS LIFE

II remember the first circus I ever
saw as distinctly as though it hap
pened only yesterday" said City Clerk
L. D. Dawson. at was back in my
home town, Clarksburg, West Vir-
ginia. 1t was the greatest day in my
life up to that time and l will never
forget it. We lived about ten miles
in the country and drove into Clarks
burg early to be on hand to see the
parade, arriving there about daylight
1t was Barnum & Bailey's circus and
the town was full of people of all
sorts and descriptions. l had just
fifty cents and felt very uneasy until
l had purchased my ticket lest some
body should steal it from me. AL
though it took all the money l had
to get into the show I had no kick
coming and was content with the in
vestment."
w. B. Rowland saw his first circus
at Mobile, in about 1869 or 1870. For
several years after the war the cir
cuses did not go through the South,
for the people had no money to spend.
Barnum went down there that year,
and it was a great event. Mr.. Row.
lands most vivid recollection of that
circus was a trick burro called Jan
uary." He also remembers Tom
Thumb very well.
Eyes, l remember my first circus"
said Dali De Weese. 1T was at Tip
picanoe, Ohio. l was about five years
old and remember it well. 1t was
John Robinson's old wagon show, af-
terwards called Robinson Bros" Mr..
De Weese remembered several other
circuses of his early boyhood and
evidently enjoyed them.
Il was reading way back in the book
of Judges the other day." remarked
Rev. J. T. Thomas, when 1 came upon
an account of what might not inaptly
be called the first circus 1t describes
the ancient people of the Bible coming
together for the purpose of having a
good time in the enjoyment of a pro-
gram in some respects similar to that
of the modern circus. One of these
Sunday evenings l am going to give
my congregation sermon on "The
First Circus" There was formerly
a very strong objection to the circus
on the part of the church people, and
rightly SO, but 1t no longer exists, and
thousands of good people now pat
ronize that sort of entertainment
have no objection to decent circus
1t affords good amusement"
H. N. Beecher's boyhood was spent
at Oberlin, Ohio, where there was
perhaps a stronger religious and lit
erary sentiment twenty-five or thirty
years ago than in any town west Of
the Allegheny Mountains "A circus
never had a chance to show inside
the corporate limits of Oberlin, when
I was a boy" asserted Mr.. Beecher,
'on account of the prejudice of the
people against that sort OF entertain
ment. The college population was

They entered the house by climbing
upon the roof Of a porch at the rear
of the building and going through one
of the windows.
Every closet and dresser drawer
was opened and their contents scat
