II Pays To Go II Alone.

About the biggest fraud in the
state SO far as Pueblo is con-
cerned. is the alleged State Com
mercial association with head
quarters in Denver. Anyone in
Pueblo who contributes to its
support outside of Denver is a
sucker. and ought to lose. pu-
eblo and other towns are sacrl-
feed for the benefit of Denver
Pueblo Sunday Opinion
And we are compelled to agree
with this view, We notice that a
general effort is to be made to
secure the affiliaiion ofall outside
Commercial Associations with the
Denver body. We certainly hope
tina. our own will decline the
honor with thanks. Denver is a
trifle too selfish in many matters
but most of all in the hoging OF
the benefits of publicity. Our
own opinion is that we get more
real benefit from the assistance OF
the ID. & X. G. railroad than from
any other Denver institution. I'M
less it might be the daily papers.
The Commercial Association does
not help us bit.

A Tariff Prayer.

The following from Harper's
Weekly. is about as fair a state
ment of the tariff question as we
have seen for long time. 1t is an
effusion of poet of the locality,
in Missouri where the preachers
assembled and offered up prayer
for a raise on the tariff rates on
zinc.
o Lord, we humbly ask Thine aid
To tariff raise on Zinc,
Because our infant trade now stands
Close on to ruins brink,
We don't ask Thee "mOuntains move
And cast into the tea,''
That deaf may hear, and dumb may
speak,
Or that the blind may see,
For things like these we have no use;
We need substantial 'chink,"
We must have help and have it now,
Good Lord, remember Zinc.
We know twill raise the price of
paint,
OF mat, and tub, and sink,
But other people pay the bill;
Good Lord, protect our Zinc.
Perhaps gathering OF sky
pilots would be the proper thing
here to supplicate for a raise on
the schedule of a tariff on lead.
No matter who has to pay the in
creased price of lead. made SO by
the tariff The big lead dealers
get the benefit of the increased
price and the simple lead miners
and consumers pay the difference
TO the trusts that control the pro-
duction. and not to the Govern
ment. The tariff rate made higher,
it becomes prohibitory to impor-
tation and the trusts reap the
price. Oh. protection. thy ways
are devious and very peculiar

Trying to Create Trouble.

The Delta Independent prints
an article which on the surface
seems to be very mild attempt
to direct the energies of our Re-
preventative elect to certain
things very desirable for this
county. But as we read down we
find their chief object is to inter
est DR.. Whiting in the attempt to
secure a Normal School for this
county. We feel sure that we are
right when we say that this is the
act of a deliberate knocker. The
Independent knows very well that
the only hope for a Western
Slope Normal is in harmonious
action They know that school
would have been built long ago
were it not for the local fight over
a location. And now they delib-
erately try to induce our repre-
sentative to start another, doubt
less because they think his failure
would injure him with the people.
We are thankful that DIR. Whiting
is too wise to be led astray by the
Independent.

AT the risk of being suddenly
