A few DAYS ago the Tribune made
statement in which was said that
the hobos and jungles were menace
to our community. Today we re-
ceived letter in which the writer
took great umbrage at us and said
the hobo was TO the community
valuable asset, workman wronged
by the mighty trusts waging warfare
on him and his kind, taking the
bread out of his mouth and buying
foreign labor in its efforts to enslave
this genus of the dirty face and
mighty thirst.
Ii hobo was ever any good to a
community we have failed to learn
of it. We do not place the hard
working man who is down on his
luck in the same category with the
knight of the blind baggage, and in
fact the working man is not recogni-
zed by your true aristocrat of the
rods. as is evident by the name given
to the laborer, gay cat, one who
will work. No, your typical hobo's
only delight is in panhandling and
moving from place to place. Any
police official will tell you that the
most desperate and dangerous men
today are the yeggmen or hobos,
commonly so-called. Many hobo
has been arrested and when search
ed found with enough nitroglycerine
on his person to destroy community.
The yeggmen of today are the profess
sional bank blowers and stickup men,
and many a murder has been COM
mitted by these wandering des-
peradoes which will only be revealed
at judgement day The workman
who is down on his luck will work
when he gets any sort of chance, re-
sardless of wages or health. The
regular hobo won't work at any

SECRET OF CLAYTON's POWER.

People here have often been puz-
zled over how Senator w. l.. Clay
ton. a democrat. has been able to Sc
cure so much and do so much for
Weld county, with republican legis-
lature. The answer is simple to any
one who knows Mr.. Clayton. Not
only is he one of the most enterpris-
ing and public spirited citizens Gree
ley has. but he is equally strong with
business men and politicians all over
the state, and that is with both par
ties
The democrats know that they can
trust him, and the republicans know
that he cannot be influenced against
the interests of the people Of the
state in general and Weld county in
particular. He knows the political
game from A to lizard. and is bound
to win some good things for his
people.
Anyone who doubts that Mr.. Clay
ton is a power in the state politically
will probably have to change his ideas
after reading the following letter:
