Missouri river is becoming a potent
factor. The center of population is
going westward. Agriculture, the root
of all national prosperity, Is dependent
more and more upon the new western
states. Subjugation of the arid and
semi-arid regions of the southwest and
west and the opening OF the northwest
by railroad enterprise have %accentuat-
ed the growth OF the territory In ques-
ton. Watch the traffic on the western
and northwestern railroad routes, the
daily trek" TO the new lands; read the
statistics of the great acreage opened
through public and private enterprise
In reclamation, and the influence OF the
newer portions of the republic will be
appreciated. The Wall street panic OF
last year could not restrain the ener-
gies OF the western people; nor could
1t hold back the railroads which have
found foothold In the new empires OF
the west.
No mistake was made by Chairman
Hitchcock of the republican national
committee when he decided to de
eentralize" the national organization
and give recognition to the west. And
the e In duty bound to itself must
continue in the republican column and
be nor than eve the mainstay of the
party.
In recent years a close bond between
the west and the party in power has
been welded to the advantage of both.
The Roosevelt policies are of the west
in every essential. His big strokes
have ~redounded greatly to the benefit
of the newer country. The immediate
future of the western states is bound
p with the republican party. Its en-
terprises like the sugar beet industry
are dependent on tn continuation OF
republican policies and protective prin.
ciples. The programme that was be-
gun by Roosevelt must be completed
by Taft. Colorado recognizes this very
fully, There must be no standing still,
II that were possible, or retracing the
political steps. Forward with the re-
publican party must be the watchwori
this year. Whatever can he done by re-
publican leaders in conference to bring
the national organization into more
direct union with the western states
will rebound to the benefit of the ma
tional party and the nation as a whole.
The democracy of today is not for a
young, aggressive people. Organism is

paternalism, which must be repug-
nant to all se~lf-respecting. self-reliant

THE COLORADO CONGRESSMAN
CREATES CONSIDERABLE EN-
THusiAsM ON TOP OF THE
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
Taft and Sherman Banners UnfurIed
on Crest Of Pixies Peak During
Visit Of Chairman Hitchcock and
His Friends at Republican Con-
ference-some Jokes at Expense
of the Perpetual Candidate.

Colorado Springs, Colo, July a.
The feature OF the trip of Chairman
Hitchcock and his party to the top Of
Pixies Peak yesterday morning was
sprung by Congressman George w.
Cook of Denver, who Struggled
about forty Taft and Sherman pen
nants on train and took the bundle to
the summit. He then lined the nation
al committeeman and other republican
notables up beside a hugh boulder and
presented each with a streamer bear
ing a picture of the party leaders.
Brushed The Clouds Away.
The informal ratification meeting
that followed this spectacular move OF
the Denver congressman was the most
unique affair that has ever been held
by the enthusiasts OF any political
party. The staid and dignified lead
ers wildly waved the enblems above
their heads, brushed the clouds away,
as it were, and gave vent to yells that
echoed over the sides of the Great
Divide.
Manager Was Pleased.
1t was the highest point on which a
political demonstration has ever been
made, and 1t pleased the Taft mana
ger beyond expression.

A POSSIBLE

The last state legislature provided

that some change in the law should be
made whereby more equal assessments
between counties should be made. AT
present no two counties assess lands
on the same basis, and many other
classes of property are just as far
apart in valuation. The only classes
of~property assessed equally through

to be seen If these radicals WIN desert
their party because their platform is a
little more conservative than they
desired. In this connection it is inn
portant to remember that Senator La
Toilette has come out with a strong
Endorsement for Taft.
I'm estimating Mr.. Bryan's strength
the effect of his religious and ethical
addresses ought not to be overlooked.
MIR. Bryan has made a multitude of
friends in all parts of the country, in
New York as well as in the West, by
his work in behalf of religious bodies,
and especially by his services for the
missionary cause.
"In his tour around the world Mr..
Bryan gave personal attention to the
missionary field. In China and Japan
he came in personal contact with
scores of American missionaries, and
upon his return to the East he freely
gave to the missionary boards the ben
gift of the knowledge that he had
obtained and he has by his strong adj
vevcacY of missionary effort imme nselS
advanced the work of all the societies.,
Many men who have heretofore look
ell upon Mr.. Bryan as Il mere political
agitator and demagogue have become
impressed with this phase of his life
and now sound his praises.
"In the book compiled by Mr.. Bry-
ans friend and helper, Richard L.
Metcalf, entitled The Real Bryan,
and composed in the main of extracts
from Bryan's addresses and writings,
this side of Bryan's character is
brought into great prominence. A
large number of selections from Bryan's
speeches and articles are of religious
and ethical character and it is only fair
to say that these selections display a
true note of sympathy and delicacy of
touch and broad and catholic treat
ment that is greatly to Mr.. Bryan's
credit.
His oratory is SO enhancing, his
personal life so clean and his arguments
50 plausible that it is perhaps no wonder
that he has wide personal following.
But the fact, that in spite of these
gu llities, multitudes Of his fellow cit
liens distrust him in his economic
uttarances is not to be put down lightly
to 3alf-interest. To Wall street man
who said to Mr.. Bryan that he had
often spoken in both praise and criti-
els of him. Mr.. Bryan replied:
" The praise came from your heart,
the criticism from your position
In other words he claims that those

ing, railroad and other kindred question

our hugging this delusion does not
