SANTA FE TRAIN ROBBED
Held Up at French Thursday Alter
noon Robbers Get $4,000.

Wednesday afternoon at four
o'clock three men held up and
robbed the Dawson pay train at
French. The safe was blown and
the $4,000 in currency going to
Dawson to pay OFF coal miners was
gotten away with. The work was
done by three men, who after they
had pocketed the money rode away
eastward, toward the Sand,a
mountains. Posse is after them
and it is thought they may be
lound somewhere in the mountains
near Clayton, Union county. Two
OF the robbers rode gray horses
and were rather short heavy men,
the other had G roam horse and two
OF his front teeth are gone.
The place OF the hold.up is miles
away from civilization, with low
hills and deep ravines leading
away to the south and east, and i,

que and changes to the Dawson
branch at this station, that it has
beeh held up. In tact it has
rather been expected as the com.
pany rarely ever has more than one
detective to guard the pay car into
Dawson. This same plan has
been followed during the last FIVE
years and many times, we are told,
the safe containing the money for
payment OF Dawson miners has
neen transported from the Santa
Fe train to the Dawson in the
presence OF as many people as
we're travelling on these trains. II

TAFT on BEET SUGAR.

Mr.. Taft has travelled from Cincin.
natl to Denver and has made friends
all along the way. His genial, friend.
ly manner seems to take as we'll with
western people as did the cowboy sym.
pathies Of Roosevelt a few years ago.
All feel that the genuine man Is there
and that there is none of the snob-
bish easterner about him. He has
everywhere shown much tact In adapt
ing himself to the interests Of his au.
diences and nowhere has he applied
the principle OF adaptation better
than In his remarks to the people OF
Greeley, Colo, on the sugar-beet in
dustry. His remarks are just as per.
tinent and vital for Cache valley as
for Greeley and should be read BY all
interested In the growing Of sugar
beets. Here Is what he said:
II have been talking half across the
continent, and i left most OF my voice
In the east. But ! am glad to be able
to express my gratitude to the people
OF Greeley for this cordial reception.
i understand you are interested here

understand that some people have in
timated that i was against beet sugar.

product, and that II Mr.. Bryan be-

sugar on the free list, because II Is q

BRYAE's moDEsrY..

The main point that Gov. Hughes
has made In his speeches 10 favor Of
Taft has been the excellent training
that Taft has received which fits
him eminently for the presidency. In
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, he ma.
turally finds woeful lack Of expert
ence. This Mr.. Bryan has taken as q
reproach and, with becoming modesty,
he has seen 1T to answer to the charge
OF inexperience, forgetting the old
proverb that he who excuses himself
accuses himself. He is unable to free
himself directly from the charge but
argues in this wise: "Other presi-
Dental candidates, such as Lincoln,
Grant and Mckinley we're without po'
litical training. Why shouldn't l beT'
The modesty OF Mr.. Bryan In putting
himself In the same class with these
men is remarkable. Does he for q mo.
ment think he has the rugged char
acter OF "honest Abe" the military
training Of Grant, or the even temper
and level head OF Mckinley? These
men may have had as little political
training as Bryan, but they possessed
other qualities which were q guaran'
tee for their success. Mr.. Bryan also
tries to get a dig back at Hughes by
saying that he was an inexperienced
man and yet had wished to be can.

footsteps OF Roosevelt. His chance

WHAT'S IN A NAME.

The democrats OF the state evident.
iy think there is everything and that
so long as the name Of Knight heads
their ticket they are sure OF victory.
They reason that the Knight dollars
will be forthcoming whether the faith.
er or the son Is a candidate for gov.
ernor and they know that with money
alone is there any hope Of their put.
ting up any kind Of tight at the
polls. They think they have at their
disposal a complete counterpart OF the
theological trilogy, a father to bless, q
son to represent and a holy ghost In
the form Of money to permeate all
circles. In the worship Of q name the
local democrats are only following 10
the footsteps OF the national party
which has bowed before the shrine OF
Bryan. 1t Is not Bryan the man that
they admire but Bryan the name. For
with each campaign 1t IS a different
man with the same name. At first
the name was synonymous with the
silver standard; then 1t lost It's silver
polish and took on lurid occidental
hues In It's hatred Of Imperialism and
colonial expansion: just at present II
designates a propounder OF schemes
but we may be sure it will never desig.
nate a president.
