CANON CITY

frequently refrain from voting simp-
ly because to vote means annoyance
and a considerable loss of time. When
reputable citizan thus stays away
from the polling place there is grave
danger that "floater" will be called
in to cast the ballot that should be
honestly polled.
Where there is much scratching OF
uckets-and this is becoming more
and more the rule-the work of count
ing them is extremely tedious. In fact
there is very little In recommendation
of the present balloting system. The
whole scheme of registration and vot-
ing needs a thorough revision.

SIMPLER VOTING
METHODs NEEDED

From the Kansas City Journal:
There ought to be ballot reform in
this country that will mean a simpler
and more convenient method Of vot-
ing. The present way is too cumber-
som and nerve wearing. Besides,
it fosters mistakes and fraud. The
claim that the secrecy Of the ballot
is inviolate is a grim joke. Partisan
workers are SO expert In ballot man
ipulation that they seldom fail to rec
ognize the color Of ballot before II
is deposited in the box. Busy men

WIFE DIsAPPRARA on
LEARNING or HBR
HUSBANDS ESCAPE

Where II May Willard, wife Of
Harry C. Merrill, the escaped con
yict? This 10 the question that the au-
thorties arc asking. Her disappear
ance from the city was ~ mysterious
as was her coming. Whether she has
left the state or 10 in the district hid
ing with some friend, 10 not known
The fact il she has gone; where. no
one seems to know.
Soon after the escape OF Ralph San
ford and Harry CT Merrill from the
penitentiary about a week ago. 1t was
learned by the Canon City authorities
that the criminals were last seen in
the vicinity of Cripple Creek and act
ing on the Information, an officer
came to the city the fore part Of the
week in search Of the men but no
trace Of them could be found.
After reading the account in the
papers, May Willard who has been
employed as cook at the county hos
pital for the past couple Of weeks. Is
said to have told others in the hos
pital that she was the wife Of Harry
G. Merrill who was sentenced to serve
ten years for murder. This informa-
ton was impaired to the oflcers at
Canon and an oficer was sent to Ques-
tion the woman to ascertain whether
she knew anything of the whereabouts
OF the escaped prisoner.
The only information that she
would furnish the detectives was that
she married the prisoner some years
ago and had lived with him up to the
time he was arrested for murder.
Since that time. she resided in Canon
City under her maiden name until 4
few weeks ago when she came TO the
hospital to be operated on for appen-
dicitis. butts as she suddenly grew bet
ter the operation was not necessary.
Wishing to remain in the district. she
took the job OF cook at the hospital
which position she held until yester-
day.
Fever since the authorities learned
that she was the wife OF the .onvict,
close watch has been kept on the
hospital to see wehther she would not
in some way give some clew that
would lead TO the capture OF the man.
Yesterday. the woman gave the Canon
City detectives the slip when she lsft
the hospital saying that she was going
to take . couple Of hours off and
would return at three O'Clock. Three
o'clock came and passed but from that
time to this. nothing has besn sssn OF
heard from her and II is generally os-
lieved that she left the city to 3oiA
her husband. The only inkling thak
she had ever given about going away
was that she wanted to 60 to Pueblo
for Q week to regain her health.
Whether abe went to that city or b
hiding In the district 10 not known.
but the search for her about the dis
trict will probably be Continued today.
May Willard 10 described ~ . wo-
man IS years OF age. 9he has dark
hair. about fve feet six inches IN
height and weighs about 13S pounds.
Her features arc coarse and her eyes
dark and penetrating.

IMPRESSIONS RECEIVED BY
AN ILLIN0ISAN AFTER
SEVERAL WEEKS IN CANON

while the other two gave chase and
tried to keep in sight of the bear.
However, when the bear reached the
timber he was soon lost to view. his
place in the attention Of the two men
only to be replaced Immediately by an
unusually large large wild cat Many
occurrences such as this one are re-
ported frequently. Mountain sheep.
grouse, deer and bear are seen on
the city limits quite often.
The two words Cripple Creek are
known to almost every man, woman
and child in the country and when
they are mentioned pictures Of the
mountains surrounding q rough min
ing camp at once enter the mind, to-
gether with an idea Of reaching it by
trail or possibly rain shackle rail-
road and the surprise is great, Of
course, when it Is learned that Cripple
Creek and Victor are two modern
cities and have good railroad service
from both Colorado Springs and Can
on. The gold is there though, the
miners, prospectors, Industries in in
fancy, but the rough element which
it was thought reigned supreme Is
handled by the law and its prosecut-
ors, backed by strong city govern
ment, as it Is in any Illinois, Indiana
or Ohio city.
Considering the advantages Of Can
on City even over most Colorado
towns, we find them many and con-
vincing. for the resident or tourist.
1t is to be regretted, but fact, that
eastern people do not come to Colo
rado but to Colorado Springs or Dem
yer. OF course we have our small
quote Of visitors each year but 1t is
unreasonably small when compared
with numbers that are attracted to the
two above named places. This is not
the case because they are really
healthier places for those seeking
health or more naturally attractive
for the pleasure seeker, but rather
the explanation lies in the one word
advertise" You cannot pick up any
eastern paper during the spring and
summer months that does not contain
advertisements of the two named cit
les. Their scenery 10 listed. their
amusements described and entertain
ing features from hotels mp or down
are given to the people thru TIE print
er's ink medium. II printers ink has
done 20 much for these cities why
wouldn't 1t do the same or At least Q
great deal for Canon City when Il has
natural advantages on . ratio Of : to
with them? ....
Just a. successful advertising for
. business house must be backed mp
when the customer enters the store.
80 it would have to be backed mp BY q
city. The one-summer visitors would
buy us nothing. It's the visitor who
comes one summer and returns the
next and influences frisnds to do like
wise that counts. Entertainmaat must
be provided and - the city now
stands with an electric road actually
building toward its gates which will
prove one Of its greatest boosters, &C.
tive cooperation on the part Of every
body not only along the line Of sug-
gestions, but action to should add to
natures advantages and make the
town q city, possessed Of inducements
which eastern printers ink could not
fail to successfully advertise.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
This Year and Business.

This Year and Business.
Each recurring presidential year
brings it's cumulative offerings of de-
preston from the pessimistic forces
which exist throughout the country.
1t is not the real business man or
men who add to this song of solem-
ness, but the fellows who are in con-
slant commune with the calamity
carpers. They are the pests to be
Stunned as you would one of leprous
symptoms. They are the bears in
the prosperity pits. Depression is
one of their delights At all times
there are some industries and enter
prises as well as individuals, who are
not doing as well as their neighbors,
even when the entire country is bear
ing the banner of auency. 1t is not
to be and should not be expected.

The League Endorsement.


The unequivocal endorsement RI
Governor Aib@rL L. Mead by The Anti
Saloon league of the State is natu-
raj and just recognition of the posi-
ton of Governor Mead on the tenn
perance question. He is the only open
and avowed enemy of the saloons
and the only candidate who has dared
to make local option his issue; who
has recognized the Importance OF the
local option question and is willing
to go before the people championing
it.
The position of the Anti-Saloon
league is an honorable one. 1t rec
ognizes in Governor Mead the true
friend of local option, the aggressive
and fearless candidate whose cleo
ton will best insure the passage OF
local option law.-The Olymplan
