The Stubbs house resolution endors-
Ing Mr. Taft for president, has been
passed twice by the senate. Perhaps
this was done to compensate Mr.. Stubbs
for turning down some of his other
foolfshment. This Stubbs resolution is
almost comic. In substance, the reso-
luton is to the effect that because
Stubbs and some of his henchmen say
so, Taft is the unanimous choice of
kansas" From this we gather that
when Mr.. Stubs introduces a measure
calculated to give the pee-pul a choice
in the selection of all candidates, he
means that he is the pee-pul, and his
choice is final.

to the effect that the passage of a two

a three cent fare on all Kansas rail-

this source should be taken for what
they are worth-abs olute nonsense but
it is gratifying to note that, as result
of the opinion given by Attroney Grat-

THE PATH OF THE REFoRMER

Thomas W. Lawson of Boston has
quit. Probably to ne.tenths of
the people of the country this state
ment means nothing. because they
don't know who Tom Lawson was or
Is. 1t simply means that another
reformer, whether sincere or not, has
found that the public is satisfied
with itself just as 1t is, and would
be no different. or have conditions
different, If it could. That is gen.
orally the conclusion that reformers
reach after years of vain effort to
make the people that which by ma
ture they are not. Tom Lawson's
retirement from the rank of the re-
formers is as picturesque-in Ian
guage, at least-as his entry some
four years ago, when he announced
in Everybody's Magazine that he was
going to do up the Standard Oh
company, Amalgamated Copper and
the general system of stock specula-
tion. So far as we can see, none sof
these Institutions have gone perma-
nently out of business. On the other
hand Lawson announces that he Is
going out of the reform business and
back into stock gambling. He
blames the public for his defeat by
the system as he calls It.
On one point, at least, we are
agreed with Lawson. The public is
Indifferent to itself. Sometimes it
looks to US as though all the volumes
that have been written, read and
preached, have not made the world
one iota better, and then it would
not be hard to convince ourselves
that the good and the bad in the
world are simply like two conflicting
chemicals, the constituency Of which

acres from grain land into beet po-

that large crops Of beets and fruit

LESSON IN PATIENCE,

There is something OF lesson IL
patience in the matter of the gooc
roads movement which seems finally
to have taken permanent root in
Weld county. 1t was about four
years ago that some members OF
what was known as the National
Good Roads association visited Gree
lev. Just who they were and what
they represented has probably slipped
the memory of nearly everybody else,
as it has the Tribune people. But
that matters but little. We believe
that 1t was the seed SOwn at that
time that is now sprouting into a
healthy looking movement for per-
manent roads. OF course, the move
ment would have started sooner or
later anyway, but it needed some
thing or somebody to start it. Well,
the start has been made, and what
rybody should see to now is that
the movement doesn't stop even for
4 minute. But the lesson in the
case is this: If an agitation for
something with real merit in it is
kept up long enough, it will eventu-
ally bring results. II the matter
has no merit 1t will die of itself.
and all the boosting in the world
can not make 1t success. The time
and the little money spent by few
In boosting the good roads movement
has been we'll spent, even If we get
only the three or four miles OF good
roads now under construction in the
county. But we feel that it will
not end with this, but will be kept
up until every mile of the main
roads Of the thickly populated secs'
tions of Weld county has been graded
and graveled.
