TIE political system which is

THE political system which is
just now in charge of Colorado's
welfare is hibernating for the winter
like a cinnamon bear under the
great dome of the capitol building.
At the head of the system stands
the Denver Tramway, closely
mooched by the other utility-cor-
porations and the political railroads.
They do the lions share or the
work and exact the lions share of
the plunder. Associated with them
are other interests which seek by
special favor Legislative and execu-
tive, to be permitted to enjoy un-
due profit. This system is today in
practically undisputed control of
the dominant political party in the
state. 1t controls primaries, makes
up delegations, owns and handles
conventions and selects the candi-
dates. 1t furnishes most of the
funds and practically all the skill
necessary to elect them. 1t main
tains an expensive and INSCRIPTIONS
lobby at the state house and directs
the lawmakers in their duties.
Through this lobby it secures such
laws as insure immunity and defeat
such legislation as might tend to
reduce the measure its exactions.
1t controls the governor and has
sway over the state boaro of equali-
cation. In consequence the rail
roads are permitted to charge ex-
orbitant freight rates and to pay
taxes ridiculously inadequate. The
smelter, coal and lumber combina-
tions, also without competitor, are
enabled to say what the consumer
shall pay for the staples they han
die. The Standard Oil company
is permitted to name the state oil
inspector and make farce of our
oil inspection laws while the Colo
tado Fuel and Iron company alway,
has its mitt out for any unhappy
suggestion that might tend to en-
force the scrip law which it has
thus far trampled under foot in
utter disregard of the statute. Oh,
but we are living in the golden,
grating age all right and the
minute an honest man raises his
voice against the system he is not
only accused of sedition but charged
with abject treason to the industrial
progress of the state.-Denver Field
and Family.

/ stood upon the beach looking off

the vessels were going this way, and
other vessels were going another way.
I said to myself: "How is it that the

Heaven.

Be certain, whatever form heaven
takes, that it will be as real as earth.
Be certain, whatever new properties
and joys will grow upon our knowledge,
that heaven will not rudely startle us
with strangeness, but will be familiar
place, a dear place-home. And be
certain in it all, that heaven is infinitely
better than the best of earth.
For there will be no death there and
no sin. No death, but always the
bright eye, the bounding step, the
blush of health, the exhilaration of
power, the delicate facination of beauty!
No sin, no temptation, but white souls
that cannot be stained, pure thoughts
that cannot be fouled, heads that can
for evermore be held erect! And so no
sorrow there no shadow of tear, no
shame or memory of shame, no loneli.
hess or fear of loneliness, no anxiety or
dread, no more talk even, no more
thought even, of the miserable sins we
have grown so used to! How strange,
how heavenly strange it all will be!
But work there, the work we shall
like the best, the work we can do the
best, unhurried. never fruitless, never
unpraised. And play there, the en-
joyment we shall like the best, with
the comrades VT love the best, un.
n,arred, exultant, and serene! And rest
there as long as we wish, as long as we
need, when and where and as we wish
it and need it. All! how good 1t will
be!-Amos r. wells.

If the powers at Washington who

Wnen housekeeping Is placed among
the fine arts, and young girls take as
much pains to become proficient in it
as they do in their music and painting,
says Belle V. Chisholm, one perplex-
Ing problem of home-making will be
satisfactorily solved. Were they
taught that the through cleansing of a
room, the polishing of window, or
the laying of dainty table were eleva-
ting instead of degrading, there would
be fewer ill-kept, unhappy homes. 1t
requires less practice and less skill to
bake flaky loaf of bread or broil d
tender beefsteak than to play difficult
sonata. and am fully convinced that
when the men-folks COME home, cross
and hungry, cheerful hearth and a
well cooked dinner will do much more
In the way Of coaxing the smiles back
to their sullen faces, than even the
most melodious strains of music.
Men sometimes complain that they
cannot get mush such as their mothers
use to make. As matter of fact,
most of the musb is not fit to eat.
Here is the recipe for mush given by a
good old Kentucky dame: Put per-
fectly fresh water over the fire, in
quantity desired. Let the water come
to quick boil; then salt until it is
brackish,. by tasting. Have the corn
meal well sifted and nice slender
paddle to stir. Pick up the cornmeal,
a handful at time and stir gently into
the water, which must be kept boiling
briskly at first. When half the meal
is stirred in, put no more in for few
minutes, but let the mass cook, stir
ring briskly all the time. Then stir in
the remainder Of the meal until the
mass is to thick to stir easily. Then
set back a little and stir the cooking,
bubbling mass for at least ten minutes.
After IT is as smooth as can be, place
on the back of a rather hot stove and
let simmer for three hours, stirring it
now and then, haying care that it
does not burn at the bottom. This is
the kind of mush that can be eaten
hot for supper with relish of by-gone
days and when fried for breakfast is
just as good.
