POOR RAILROAD SERVICE

The freight and passenger ser
vice over the D. d X. G. railroad
has become a serious matter, and
is materially damaging to the bus
ines of the valley, more especially
the live stock industry. 1t is al
most impossible to ship live stock
out or in. For instance, Abe Chase
shipped a car Il hogs to Pueblo
last Saturday afternoon and the
car was 55 hours on the road and
the loss by shrinkage was great.
There are plenty Of cars but no
engines suitah1e to draw them.
Since the strik1B.of, the machine
men and blacksmiths last March
engines have become in such a
dilapidated condition that an en-
gineer, when he starts on run
has no idea when his machine will
give out.

The Denver Times of Nov. Is,

Advocating from his pulpit in
three successive sermons the prin-
ciples of the new Emanuel move
ment. which has much in common
with the doctrine of Christian
Science, the Rev. o. S. Baum of
the Highlands Park Presbyterian
church, has brought upon the par

which the Episcopal church of
Denver passed three years ago"
Rev. Baum was at one time pas

bitterly attack Christian Science
and its adherents.
After an exhaustive study of
psychological principles, Rev. Mr..
Baum has accepted the teachings
of the Emanuel movement by
which it is realized that great ben

COTTON MARKET
HAD QUIET DAY
Buyers Shading Bids in
Late Session.

There was little doing in the local
cotton market yesterday In the
morning there was some demand on
the basis of quotations which are
unchanged from the previous day,
and some cotton was sold. In the
afternoon buyers would have taken
on further supplies at a reduction of
Lice, but holders of cotton were I'M
able to approve of such prices, and
the market ruled dull. The receipts
for the day were 297 bales, and the
sales about 142.
The New York market opened 8
points up for December, but to 5
points down for later positions The
ginners report was read soon after
the opening, the figures for the cotton
ginned to October IS being 6,280,00O
bales. Though this compared with
4,407 ,o55 at the same time last sea-
son, it was given bullish significance
on account of the forwardness of the
crop, and prices jumped several
points. The close vas off from the
best, barely steady, l point higher

Enormous Vote for CHAMBER

The average man of Broadway, the
Bowery, and uptown will tell the
same story, Chanler will get an
enormous city vote; so large that
even though Hughes gets the normal
Republican vote in the rest of the
State, he cannot overcome it.
But the same men in discussing the
presidential election, say that the vote
of New York looks good" to them
for Taft. There is great disaffection
or dissatisfaction among many Re-
publicans in the city and lower coun-
ties as to the party's candidate for
governor. 1t is very small when the
choice is Taft or Bryan.
Hearst and his thousands of fol-
lowers are going to be factor. Many
of these Hearst supporters will nod
acquiescently if asked whether Chan
Ter will carry the State, and give the
same gesture, only more so, when the
probability of Taft's winning the
State is mentioned.
In Albany and the counties adj
jacent thereto there is much the
same feeling as to Hughes as in
Broadway. There is no appreciate
anti-Taft sentiment among Republi-
cans. Certainly not more SO than the
lukewarmness of Democrats for Bry-
an, but the Republicans do not dis
play the same enthusiasm when
Hughes is mentioned as do the Demo-
Gratis when Chanler is referred to.
Here too, there are Republicans,
whose opinions are almost as strong
ly favorable to Chanler's chances as
they are to Taft's.
In the upper counties there are
many farmers who are of the Repub-
lican faith and steady as rock for
Taft who will talk Chanler and Won
der how Hughes can beat him.
1t is difficult to find many Repub
Leans who will tell you they think
Bryan will win. 1t is hard to find
many Democrats who think Taft
will carry the State. There are many
Republicans who doubt the possibili-
ty of Hughes election. There are
few Democrats who question the
probability of CHAMBERS victory.

MARY AND HER AUTOMOBILE

Chicago Record-Herald)
Mary had a motor car,
A very fine machine;
And everywhere she went she spread
The smell of gasoline.
When it was time to go to school
She simply took a hike
And horses baked and chickens
squawked
AS she came down the pike.
But when she reached the schoolhouse
grounds,
She found, to her dismay,
That naughty boys had scattered tacks
Along the right of way.
So then a tire exploded with
A loud persuasive noise,
And Marys wrath exploded with:
"Doggone those hateful boys!"
How much does Mary's father over"
The little children cried.
HE paid ten dollars down, you know, J"
The teacher quick replied.
Ten dollars from two thousand
plunks
Leaves something, we shall see.
Now what is left? Let Johnny tell
please, sir, the mortga-gee.

FOR TAFT AND
FOR CHANDLER
Result Predicted by New
York MAN in Street. :

New York, Oct. 26.-The political
conditions in New York State can be
summed up in few words, if the opin.
ions expressed by active politicians
business men, working men. mer
about town, sporting men, farmers
and those of other vocations may be
accepted as indicating the trend
here. These opinions have the
strength of confident prediction in
many instances. The concensuc oil
them points to this result:
Taft will carry the state and Chan
Ter will almost as surely defeat
Hughes.
One very prominent Democratic
politician of Kings county, man
as powerful as any other in that
county's politics and who is familiar
with every twist and turn in the sit
uation, has stated privately that he
thinks Chanler is a certainty by
over 10000 and that Bryan has a
possible chance; but he added: Chan
Ter is the good bet, and Taft may
win" From this it seems doubtful
if he expects any other result than
Taft and Chanler.
