coLoRApo.s NEW SENATOR.

IT HE Hon Mr. Guggcnheim has been elected
n Senator by the Legislature of Colorado
lie had practically no opposition, but launched
into the position like a cyclone The country
knows principally of the new Senator as a very
rich man. That is his chief qualification, but ev-
identity he has others. The new Senator has
been talking. and what he says is worth reading.
The public will watch to see il he lives up to his
intentions. There is no reason why he should
not do So Great riches Of themselves are no
disqualification to an election to the Senate.
Often they are not considered, as has been
shown in Delaware. Judge Pennewl could
have been chosen Senator in Delaware The fact
that he is not a rich man did not enter into the
calculations of his election, which the people and
their representatives at Dover so much desired.
And so. too. Mr.. Richardson was not elected be-
cause of his riches. If ever man did earn his
money honestly that man is our new Senator.
In accepting the election Mr. Guggenheim de-
clares that he does so with "the sole purpose of
rendering efficient and loyal service to the peo-
pie" He announces that he will abandon active
commercial pursuits and cease money getting
while he is a Senator. In this he differs from
Senator Bailey, of Texas who holds the theory
that Senator shall make all the money he can

helm, and perhaps there is truth in that state

ate is good occupation for them Mr.. Guggen-
helm says he will devote all his time "to the OBJ
legation OF the high Office This is cheerful
news and we hope he will carry out his exalted
purposes. But he adds to his good words, Free
and untrammeled, under obligation to no inter
ests company, railroad or corporation" A de-
lightful position for a Senator to be in surely,
and yet why should not rich man be free, un-
trammeled and under no obligations? If rich
Senator cannot be Independent if he chooses,
who can be-
Mr. Guggenheim is a hearty sympathzer with
the progressive policies OF President Roosevelt
This is good news. Mr.. Guggenheim will have
an opportunity to show his colors. The Presi-
dent needs just such supporters as the new SEN
ator Processes to be. We hope he will carry
out his ideas to their logical conclusion.

PAY or our SOLDIERS.

Fl OW it is proposed to increase the pay of
4 the soldiers in the United States Army.
Bills are pending in Congress for general adj
vance of twenty per cent in their wages. These
bills are comprehensive as the suggested in
crease affects all the officers as well as the pri-
Yates. The pay OF the latter has not been such
as to hold out financial inducements to men to
enter the service of Uncle Sam. The Marine
Corps and the Revenue Marine Service are to
be included in the proposed increase. The
measure also provides for retirement after thirty
years Of service. This is a good idea. How
beneficial it would be if all honest men who
spend years Of toll in any business could be as
sured Of pension after their days of usefulness
and faithful work over. Ii would alter in
many respects our social life.
The present pay Of army men was arranged
In 1872 and there has been no increase or adj
vance despite the increased cost of living Uncle
Sam has treated his employees as does many a
private concern-no increase of wages unless the
employees are strong enough through their labor
unions to demand such advances. But even the
advance Of twenty per cent it is said in Wash
ineton. will not make up for the increased cos
of living, and the army officers believe that fin
ancially they are much worse off than they were
a third Of century ago. The nation is nch
ana opulent and can we'll afford the advances

demonstrated by Wilmington. The project
was cultivated by the Dutch, and largely
advanced by the British.

They were the Swedes, and were the peo-

been preceded by some English speaking
settlers. Then it was that the active work

the British was started. Sixteen years
