THE TURNING OF THE GLASS

1t has come once more to the
turning Of the glass. The sand is
all but spent, and the days of the
old year are as chatf in the wake
of the wind. BY the gray light i'll
the western shack. at the heaped
tables of the rich, within the great
places of exchange, and even
amongst those who 90 out upon
the high seas, men will give pause.
For it is the time of reckoning,
and sober thought must go to the
balance against mirth aud merry-
making. 1t is the supreme hour
of resolution May the trend of
worship be not towards the god
of gold. May men not overlean
towards the side of materialism
May there be reverence for simple
things, for the young babe in the
cfadle ana the old man nearing
the valley, May the milk of hu-
man kindness and the good hand
OF common sympathy go forth to
the natal feast. Then might the
New Year dawn bright, and peo-
pie the world over could repeat
with the poet:
Turn again the wasted glass,
kingly crown and warriors s
crest
Are not worth the blade of grass
God fashions for the swallow s
nest. -

THE VALUE OF the agricul-

THE VALUE OF the agricul-
tural products of Kansas would
give $3.50 to each man, woman and
child in the state if divided equal
ly among the inhabitants. And
the fine thing about it is that in
Kansas wealth is pretty evenly
distributed. Paupers are rare as
millionaires, and the jails are as
empty as the poorhouses. Multi
ply $3.50 by the number in the
home-not so small number in
Kansas as elsewhere-and you
have a very respectable family in
come. The population has in
creased 90 per cent in the last 10
years, She value of the products
of the state has increased 80 per
cent. This year the crops and
live stock foot up to $453, ,64S ,6O6,
which is $39, 9,313,73 more than in
any previous year. This is wealth
that will not shrink so per cent
at the threat of a presidential
prosecution Of illegal financiering.
Kansas can get along without
Wall street at least as long as
Wall street can get along without
Kansas. If the people of the state
cannot sell their wheat they can
eat it, and if they cannot buy an
thracite coal they can burn corn,
which is much better fuel. The

THE EXISTING land laws have
stood the test of time and have
been alarge factor in making the
West. None too liberal, they are
yet calculated, and rightly so, to
benefit the man who avails HIM
self of them. Men prosper from
seizing the opportunities present
ed. Just as the trainers of the laws
intended they should. The attl-
tude of the government toward
settlers has not changed; the laws
passed by congress stand today as
they have stood for years. The
idea of calling a man thief be-
cause he has made money out of
land given him to use exactly for
that purpose comes not from the
government, nor from congress or
the administration, but from the
OVer-ZealOuS special agent set 10
find that fraud was committed
or write himself unequal to the
task. Usually the men he is to ac
cuse have been suspected in Wash
ington departments before the
agent has begun even to collect
evidence for the courts and he
dare not fail to make good. The
decision of Judge Lewis will go
a long way toward putting stop
to such practices and bring about
return to sanity in land affairs.

GOV. BUCHTEL's SUCCESS.

Although Governor Buchtel 8
proclamation directed to district
attorneys and peace officers, de-
manding the enforcement of the
state laws against gambling, was
given out in Pueblo, is was obvi-
ously intended principally for
Denver. As governor of the state,
whatever action he took had to be
general in its nature, but the di-
rectiOn in which this missile was
aimed is best shown by the effect
produced, which was the immedi-
ate closing of open gambling in
the capital city.
1t is not necessary to probe
deeper than the surface of events
in order to find good reason to
congratulate the governor upon
the success of his effort to use the
power and influence of his high
office toward securing a result
that has been desired and is now
approved by all good citizens.
The great object of the procla-
nation has been attained. Gam
bling has been closed in Denver.
1t is greatly to be desired that the
knowledge of the reserve powers
held by the governor and the at
torney general shall be sufficient
to keep gambling closed, not only
in Denver, but throughout the
state.-Pueblo Chieftain.

SPEAKING OF APPLES.

We don't like to anticipate our
New Year edition, but that is so
loaded with good things that it
can stand advance notices. And
this is really too good to keep.
Over near Grand Junction there
is an apple orchard. There are
several apple orchards and every
one of them is paying big money.
But this particular orchard is, in
our humble judgment, the most
profitable ever heard of. The
gross yield this year from one
acre of that orchard, containing
ITO trees, was $S1.51 per tree, or
a shade less than $4,000 for the
acre.
When such is the income from
an apple orchard, who cares about
gold mines9

WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR?

In the passing of the old year
there is much food for reflection.
To most of us twelvemonth is
but a short time. The days and
weeks, and the months, are fit
ting by in rapid pace. Scarce had
we become acquainted with 1907
when we were obliged to say
goodbye and make the acquaint-
ance of her successor.
But what of the old year and
what of the new? Has 1907 dealt
kindly with you9 And have you
given to the world the best that
was in you? Did you improve the
opportunities as they presented
themselves Did you do your duty
by yourself and by humanity?
Then what of 1908? Are yon
meeting it with courage and de.
termination, resolved to achieve
more and better than ever before
We ought to enter the new year
with hopefulmess and cheer, striv-
ing for the mastery over self, over
conditions and over the environ
ments which we may encounter.
Shall it mean the greatest year
in our existence? Shall it mean
the greatest and the best year for
Glenwood Springs If our faith
is strong and our determination
abides we may make this year the
very best we have ever known.
SO be it.

PHONOGRAPHIC REC
ORDS FOR POSTERITY

The preservation in the vaults
of the Paris opera house of the
voices of Caruso, Scott, Patti,
Melba. Calve and other contempo-
rary singers will make compari-
sons interesting in the centuries
to come. The voices of Grisi, Ma
rio, Malibran and Jenny Lind so
preserved would be rare treas
ures. TamagnO S notes are firmly
fixed in wax, surviving his death,
and Pope Leo NILS voice still
lives. The KaiSer's is in storage
at Harvard college and in the lii
brary of Congress.
The photographic preservation
of languages will be valuable to
philologists. Humboldt found a
parrot in Brazil which was the
solitary speaker Of an otherwise
extinct Indian dialect. A phono-
graph may do as much for Welsh
century hence.
Posterity should feel grateful
for this foresight on the part of
the present age. But it is to be
questioned whether we are not
preparing for the generation un-
born heritage of printed and
written matter which will over
whelm them with an embarrass-
ment of riches. The millions Of
books, the vast accumulations of
the libraries, the wealth of new
discoveries in science, will make
a staggering mass of knowledge
for transmission. What mind can
master hundredth part of itY
The specialists =" field will be
restricted to the narrowest limits,

WALK AND REDUCE
THE DEATH RATE

DR.. Evans, Chicago's health
commissioner, finds cause for
alarm in the rapid increase in
pneumonia and consumption in
his city, and has issued bulletin
in which it is stated that walking
is "almost specific against
them"
He recommends that every per-
son living within two miles of his
work should walk the distance
twice daily instead of riding in
the cars.
To New Workers who are obliged
to suffer the tortures of over
crowded ears each day, the walk
ing cure is attractive. In this
city as well as in Chicago, pneu-
monia and consumption are the
most prevalent Of all diseases, and
physicians generally agree that
poisonous air in street cars, homes
and offices is the main cause

CITY OF NAPLES.

The stranger in Macon, Mo-, in
variably notes the large number
of magnificent shade trees that
border the streets of the town
The place has come to be known
as "The City of Naples" and the
inhabitants take pleasure in tell
ing of how these fine trees were
acquired. In 1872, John W.
Beaumont, an energetic real estate
man, went broke and could not
pay his taxes, which amounted to
SIG. He offered the city coun-
ell in lieu of the cash, 10000
young maple trees, from one to
two inches in diameter, that were
all ready to set out. 1t was that
or nothing, so the council took the
trees. By public proclamation the
mayor fixed an Arbor day and ev-
erybody who would agree to set
them out and care for them was
given from six to ten trees. At
that time the town was almost
bare of trees of every kind. AL
most in a day Mr.. Beaumont's le-
gal tender for taxes was in the
hands of the inhabitants, and they
so faithfully carried out the may
or's injunction that today there is
hardly a street in town which is
not beautifully shaded by thick
leaved trees, suggesting town in
the tropics. There's been many a
public spirited citizen who has
contributed much of his time and
means to encourage the develop
ment of thrift and beauty, but on
hot summers day the hard-up
promoter who paid his taxes in
trees is REMEMBERED with the
deepest gratitude.

GOVERNOR SPARKS of Ne

received federal troops to protect
the mine owners and other citi-
zens of Nevada against the vio-
lence of the Western Federation
of Miners, was one of the critics
of Peabody for putting down the
Federation in this state. He was
not governor then and had no fed
Grafton desperadoes to deal with.
He has learned something since
then and is now a sadder and pre-
sumably wiser man. He knows

A ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUNSET

A gorgeous sunset; teecy
clouds changing from the most
immaculate whiteness through de
lightfully translucent amber and
bright, golden-canary hued or
angeS to FURNISHED brass, cardinal
tinted reds, garnets, lustrous and
deep maroon shadings. with the
dun greys and dull blue blacks of
the mountain ranges beneath; and
resistlessly tearing across all of
this infinitely and superbly beau
tiful vista were the fiercely ter
rife zig-zag streaks vicously
thrust athwart the heavens by ma
ture's upopposable electric bat
teries.
Amid all, through a rift in the
inky haze, the sun pierced the
scene, emblazoning it with glori-
Gus splendor; and, far away in
the distance, tinged the fra gment-
ed ends of a murky cloud with the
grandest shading of a filmy emer-
ald-blue ever beheld
Colors, and the innumerable
blendings of light and somber
hues, were there beyond compare

RECENTLY IN a New Jers

RECENTLY IN a New Jersey
town a citizen and his grown
daughter were arrested under an
old statute as common scOlds. "
This couple were in the habit of
passing uncomplimentary remarks
about their neighbors and slur-
ring them in embittered and harsh
language. An ancient statute des-
ignates such a person as "com-
mon scold," and provides a pen
atty upon conviction. Eeven if
the law is an old one that was for
years forgotten, it is pretty good
one and would be welcomed in
many communities no more en-
lightened than is New Jersey.

ROUr Or TIE LILIES.

Surveying the two great nominating
conventions, which have now passed
into history, the most striking feature
Is the signal rout Of the allies" at
both Chicago and Denver. To a great
extent, while massed behind different
favorites on opposite sides Of the polit-
ical fence, the allies who were try
ing to beat Taft at Chicago represented
the same interests as the allies who
we're trying to head off Bryan at
Denver.
1.-THE allies" are the r]eactionaries.
They are the ultra conservatives who
have been putting obstacles in the
rath of the Roosevelt policies. They
would like, II they could, to undo all
the progressive reforms which have
been accomplished under the lead of
the president since he took up the
executive reins.
"The allies" did not want Taft be-
cause he has beer so closely identified
with the Roosevelt administration and
is so firmly committed to the continu-
ance of the distinctive Roosevelt poll
cies. There may have been other
names before the Chicago convention
Objectionable to "the allies" but they
were ready to stake their chances for
some one more satisfactory to win out
in the event of a successful effort to
break down the Taft forces.
At Denver 1.-The allies had set them
selves an even easier task, notwith-
standing greater preponderance of the
Bryan following, because under the
two-thirds rule they needed only one
third of the delegates to accomplish
their purpose. The vote on the Pennsyl-
vania contest disclosed the fact that
the allies" could muster more than
one-third of the convention on Incl
dentals, but we're unable or unwilling
to register the necessary vote to veto
an undesirable nominee.
Having suffered a double rout the
allies are in hard lines. Those OF
them who have nothing to gain or to
lose will stay within their respective
party lines and those who have no
politics will be up against what they
consider a choice of evils, But the out
come of the election will depend not
upon 1.-The allies" 1t will depend upon
the great mass of the people who have
been a%pplauding President Roosevelt
and who will, we believe, in sober
Judgment insure four more years of
Roosevelt government under the party
OF Roosevelt and the administration
of William Howard Taft.

Isabel f. Mackay in Youths Companion.
Wind-swept and fre-swept and swept with
bitter rain
This was the world l came to when I
came across the sea
Sun-drenched and painting, a pregnant,
waiting plain
Calling out to humankind, calling out to
me!
Leafy lanes and gentle skies and little
fields all green
This was the world / came from when
/ Jared across the sea-
The mansion and the village and the
farmhouse in between
Never any room for more, never room
for me!
I've fought the wind and braved It. I
cringe TO It no more!
I've fought the creeping fire back and
cheered to see it die.
I've shut the bitter rain outside and safe
within my door
Laughed to think I feared a thing not
as strong as 1!
l mind the long white road that ran be
tween the hedgerows neat.
In that little strange old world l left
behind me long ago.
l mind the air so fun OF bells at evening,
far and sweet
All and all for some one else-I had
leave to go!
And this is what ] came to when I came
Miles and miles OF unused sky and miles
OF unturned loan.
And miles Of room for some one else and
miles of room for me
The cry Of exile changing to the sweeter
cry Of "Home!' b.
