Presidential Boom.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE presiden-

Hughes was again launched in New

dinner Of the Bible class presided over
by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. In his

Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City bank, who spoke on
the recent financial furry. The din
ner was more elaborate than the one

General Stoessel alone was in civil

and on his breast was pinned the cross

and crutches, especially among the
men who had been at Port Arthur,
showed that many Of them had seen
hard service during the war.

A Prose Poem.

The story of the Galilean is not only
perennially beautiful but of thrilling
heart interest, for
"As long as the heart has passion,
AS long as the life has woes,'
the sacrifice for sin, whether regarded
as the dream of an enthusiast, the God
likest act of man, or the man-likest act
of God, will ever play upon that mys-
terious instrument, the soul, the pre-
lude to the highest and holiest thoughts,
as well as sounding the deepest depths
of tragedy and despair. And the "Holy
City," as portrayed at the opera house,
Sunday, September Sth, does all of
these.
Jerusalem is still the hearts center
of the universe, and the holy land, the
most interesting spot on earth, perforce
the tragedy of the cross. "a land
without ruins is land without memoir
ies-a land without memories is land
without history. A land that wears a
laurel crown may be fair to see, but
twine a few sad cypress leaves around
the brow of any land, and be that land
barren, beautiless and bleak, it becomes
lovely in its consecrated coronet of sor-
row, and it wins the sympathy of the seer
and of history. Crowns of roses fade
crowns of thorns endure. Calvaries
and crucifixions take deepest hold of
humanity-the triumphs of might are
transcient-they pass and are forgotten
the sufferings Of right are craven
deepest on the chronicles of nations. :"
Thus of peculiar interest must for ever
more be the mountains, round Jerusa-
lem, the historic witness of the divinest
tragedy ever enacted on earth, in the
midst of that sacred soil, sanctified by
the foot prints Of the Man-god, who
went about doing dood.
"It moves ones eyes to pity,
1t moves ones heart to love-"

In last Thursdays Denver Republican
appeared an article in which the peace
officers of this county were unjustly
criticised for permitting gambling to be
conducted in Tolland. The item said
that the officers were aware of the OPP
erations of the gamblers but refused to
put stop to their work. Sheriff Cody,
Prosecuting Attorney Withrow and
Deputy Sheriff Hatfield, stationed at
Baltimore, were those who were CEN
sured in the article for dereliction of
duty.
Each of these gentlemen have since
been interviewed by an Observer repre-
sentative regarding the matter and
were emphatic in their statements
that the accusations in the Republican
were false. The first intimation that
Sheriff Cody had that gambling was
conducted in the northern part of the
county was the fore part of last week
when Marshal George Launder came in
from that section and told him he had
heard that several sharks from Denver
were plying their trade at Tolland.
Wednesday morning the sheriff went
out to Tolland to investigate and was
met there by the prosecuting attorney
who had been in Middle park on vaca-
ton trip. While they were there there
were no signs of the gamblers.
Deputy Sheriff Hatfield said that he
had heard that bunco men from Denver
had come up on the Moffat road on var
ious occasions during the summer to
fleece the tourists. Several times when
he thought there was a chance to land
these men he went from his place to
Tolland with the intention of arresting
the gamblers. 1t seems that they were
on to him and were aware of his de-
parture the moment he left Baltimore
for Tolland. Consequently when he
reached the place where the gamblers
were supposed to be operating, there
was nothing doing in the gambling line
and no gamblers to be seen.
In the Republican, what purported to
be an interview with General Manager
w. A. Deuel. of the Moffat road was
published, in which he said that the
officers of the county refused to act in
suppressing the gambling. AS a matter
of fact the officials of the road never
made complaint to the officers. 81
Prosecuting Attorney Withrow, while
in Denver last week, called upon Mr..
Deuel. and had talk with him regard
ing the charges against the officers of
this county published in the Denver
paper. Mr.. Deuel. acknowledged that
the charges were false and that he had
never reported the gambling to the Of
ficers. He said it was the fault of the
Denver Republican reporter who inter-
viewed him and made the erroneous
statements to lend 'color" to the item.
This is doubtless the correct phase of
the situation, as had the railroad COM
pany been very anxious to stop the
work of the bunco men from Denver,
they could easily have done so by max
ing complaint to either the sheriff or the
prosecuting attorney. 1t is strange that
all this publicity to the work of the
gamblers should be given just at a time
when the excursion season closes and
when there is no further use of the
sharpers operating along the Moffat
road
