AS the time for nominations
draws near there is less and
less question as to whom the
Republicans will name for Su-
preme Judge from this section
of the state. There is no better
criterion to go by than what the
local papers of the various COM
munities are saying. There are
to be several candidates we under
stand from the western part of
the state, for the nomination
among whom are District Judge
Shackleford, Judge Story of Ou-
ray and A. R. King of Delta. 1t
is a little surprising that Judge
Shackleford should come up for
nomination at this time when he
has so recently been elected to
an office with a lucrative salary
and long term and especially
when the very small majority he
received is considered. Person
ally the writer is a friend to
Judge Shackleford and believes
that there is no lawyer on the
west side of the range who is
better versed in the law than he,
yet we cannot reconcile ourselves
to consider his aspirations to thus
early ascend to the Supreme
Bench. The following from the
Gunnison Republican speakes our
sentiments as regards Judge
King.
We understand that A. R.
King of Delta will be a real can
ditate for the supreme bench on
the Republican ticket. Judge
King will receive the solid sup
port of the Republicans on the
western slope and probably the
eastern slope also. The Judge
is we'll qualified for the position
which he asks of the party. He
will receive the hearty support
of all Republicans, some Demo
Gratis and many Socialists. With
men like Judge King, Judge
Helm and Judge Gabbert on the
supreme bench Colorado will be
in safe hands and it's laws will
be properly administered. Pa

lief. We believe in organization
and cooperation for equitable ben
efits and improvement, but not
for oppression. No country can
prosper without its towns towns
cannot prosper without the aid
of the country. Every man who
pays his share of the burdens of
the whole and lives honorably,
dealing squarely with his fellow
man and the public is entitled to
support. We want to see the
country go ahead and all its peo-
pie prosper. It is as wrong to
combine in one way as in
another, if the combination is
not for the general good. Keep
the matter of the world being
your friend always in sight.

The more sensational of the
daily newspapers are perfect
nightmare of horrors. Never
before were they so fed with
descriptions of crime. Reports
of murders, suicides and other
criminal acts are depicted in red
headlines until the accounts cover
their pages like the pieces on a
crazy-quilt. It would be better
if the public could have less of
this. 1t is bad enough that these
crimes should be committed-all
too plentifully, yet sparsely over
this great broad land-and not
be crowded as fast as associated
wires can flash them, into the
columns of every city daily and
glaringly exposed for their mil
lions of readers to brood over.

The prospect is that if the del

Senator Stone says the furry
was caused by a shortage of
available currency. AS the short
age was caused by the furry, the
philosophy of the situation may
be regarded as complete. There
is nothing like reducing ques-

librium.
Occasionally, it is remarked
that the Republican National
Convention will be "stampeded. "
In that case it will be the first
that lost it's head and acted on
excitable impulse. Republican
national conventions heretofore
have either known exactly what
they wanted when they met, or
else took plenty of time to do
some hard thinking.

LOS ANGELES, April 17.-Mem-
bers Of the Young Mems Christian
Association are deeply agitated be-
cause General Superintendent c. B..
Weaver, in charge Of construction of
the $4,000 association building,
has discharged all Christians he could
ind among the 800 men employed
and declines to hire any. He de-
clares that he can ''get Is per cen.
more work out of the sinners than
the church members" and will finish
the job with men making no profess
sion of faith. Many men. apply for
work and frequently advance the ar
gument that they are Christians. in
which case Weaver uncermoniously
consigns them to hades.
There is not a Christian man on
the job, so far as know said the
general superintendent today. when
I began l had a few Christians, but
they didn't deliver the goods. They
we're a sissy lot of fellows, who
thought that because they belonged to
the church they ought to get the sof
end of everything l fired them.

ton are likely to make a strong de

RAILROAD SURVEYS ARE
ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

Quanah, Tex, Tribune-Chief.
, When Quanah citizens started two
surveys from here, one to yelling
expected thereby to attract the at
tention of nearly every railroad pro-
moter, worthy the name, in the Unit
ed States. Such is the case, however,
and the impression is gaining ground
that two o. three big railroad systems
are wanting to come by way of Qua
nah. On Saturday, the commercial club
entertained a proposition from the
Ell Paso and Carlsbad Townsite De-
velopment Co, who aim to build from
Ell Paso to Quanah, have already
cross-sectioned a part of their rail
road, and have closed contracts with
several counties west of here up to
New Mexico.

from Ell Paso, represented this COM
