Love-.

Christian love is the only kind of
love i'm which there is no rivalry, no
jealousy. There is jealousy among the
lovers of art; there is jealousy among
the lovers of song; there is Jealousy
among the lovers of beauty. The glory
of natural love Is its monopoly, its pow
er to say, at Is mine." But the glory
of Christian love is its refusal of mon
opoiy. The spiritual artist-the man
who paints Christ in his soul-wants
no solitary niche i'm the temple of fame.
He would not like to hear anyone say:
"He Is the first Of his profession; there
is not one that can hold the candle to
him." He would be very sad to be dis
tinguished in his profession of Christ,
marked out as solitary figure. The
gladdest moment to him will always
be the moment when the cry is heard
"Thy brother is coming up the ladder
also; thy brother will share the inherit
tance with thee."-Sel.

Ten Reasons.

Boon the voters of this precinct will
vote on the question Of making II Anti-
Saloon territory. To every man, wom-
an and child that IL a question Of vital
consequences. Other questions touch
them but indirectly, this one is person.
al to each one. The writer Of this does
not wish to say simple harsh word
agaInst any one CONNECTED with the
liquor business. In fact he has always
used II to some extent himself. But he
is thoroughly convinced Of the evils
that flow from the sale and use Of it.
Let US enuinerate few:
l. It destroys health II used In ex-
cess, and in most cases those who COM
menee with a moderate use Of 1t are led
into an excessive use Of it IL continued
for any great length Of time.
9. Its use disorganiZes the nervous
system and destroys the finer sensibili-
ties.
3. 1t destroys 10 great extent the
intellectual powers.
4. 1t leads to lawlessness and pro-
NOTES crime Of all sorts.
s. Its ultimate goal is financial ruin.
@. II takes food and clothing from
helpless women aud children.
I. 1t takes from many communities
their brightest and best young men
and units them for citizenship and
often leaves them o charge upon the
community.
s. 1t often leads to murder and licen-
tiousness.
8. II produces insanity and suicide.
10. 1t is frightful burden upon
Legitimate industry and enterprise in
that it does no community any good.
Ifany one questions any statement
herein made the writer is willing to
defend them In public speech or
through the columns OF. this paper.
Even If you use liquor and not to ex-
cess, lend o hand to those who have
an uncomfortable weakness, you would
help them in other respects, why not
in this?
If someone tells you that 1t will kill
the town in any sense take careful note
of who saysi it and then ask to be shown
even one example.
Under the conditions here the vote
should be almost unanimous. To be
convinced of this you need but to look
around you. You cannot afford to ig-
more this question. You and your
children and your neighbor's children
are all in danger where whiskey is
sold and drank as a beverage.

Lumps From Lebanon.

The farmers have been busy getting
their hay up.
The people around Lebanon have
been listening to the whistles and noise
of the threshing machines for several
days. The grain is turning out well.
About fifty of the stockholders of the
Colorado Land & Improvement conf
pany from Pueblo and Trinidad, visited
the valley some ten days ago and
looked over their holdings here and all
returned home well pleased. Most of
the stockholders bought from one to
five lots in the new town before re-
turning home. These lots sell from
500 TO $500.
The Colorado Land & improvement
company had display of fruits, grains
and vegetables on exhibition in their
office, when the stockholders arrived
from Pueblo, that looked like the dis
play at the state fair.
S. H. Phlegar and family arrived
from Odessa, Missouri, some two weeks
ago and took charge of the new Leba-
non hotel. Mr.. Phlegar shipped new
furniture from Missouri and fitted the
house up with the best of everything.

Communicated.

There was no mistake made by the
Democratic Convention which chose
as its nominee for District Attorney by
its unanimous vote, George w. Lane of
Durango. His fitness for the Office as
well as his splendid record both as q
lawyer and as Democrat together
with his large acquaintance oyer the
entire district render him the strongest
candidate for the office.
Mr.. Lane was raised i'm Wisconsin
and it was here that he received the
most of his early education. After
graduating from the High School at
Dodgeville he took four years. course
in the University of Wisconsin and
graduated from that institution with
the degree "B. L." He was admitted
to the bar of Colorado after having
received his degree as a lawyer from
the University of Denver. Since that
time he has resided in Durango in this
Judicial District and has followed the
profession of lawyer. For the past
five years he has been Deputy District
Attorney of the County of La Plata
and the experience thus gained in
prosecuting the pleas of the people has
rendered him specially fit for the office
of District Attorney.
All of Mr.. Lanes political friends
and many of his political enemies con-
cede his election by safe majority.
The district is acknowledged to be a
Democratic stronghold and moreover
this is Democratic year. Mr.. Lane is
entitled to and will receive the full vote
of his party. He has two opponents
in his candidacy, being the nominees
on the Republican and Socialist tick
cts. He rests his candidacy solely on
his merit and preeminent fitness for
the office. ~

The fire at Cortez occurred on the day
Zion of bonding the city for the purpose
(f putting in a water system. And
we are informed that after fighting fire
for three hours under the very worst
conditions possible, the citizens of that
enterprising little town voted unani-
mously for the bonds. We have no
doubt that the result of the election
would have been the same if the fire
had not occurred but probably some
went to the polls earlier in the day
The property destroyed would have
been nice little sum toward paying
for a water system.

Played Bad.

"What makes Cummerly look so
sad? He's got millions and ought to
be happy"
"He's sore over mistake he made"
"What was it?"
He fooled the assessor into believ-
ing he had very little, and then, when
he was hailed into court for violation of
some law or other the judge happened
to remember seeing his name on the
assessment roll and thought he didn't
amount to much in the business and
financial world. Cummerly is now
forced to go to the supreme court at big
expense to escape Jail sentence"
