William Jennings Bryan. on his
last visit TO New York, declined
to answer one of the questions
put to him.

that" said Mr.. Bryan, smiling.
Every one must know his busi-
ness. otherwise failure follows;
and I'm sure you wouldn't want
me to fail like the young sales
man of fountain pens.
There was, you know. a young
fountain pen salesman who, to
his great JOY, succeeded on his
first trip in persuading a stationer
to order 5000 pens. But all
of sudden the stati oners man
ner changed to the young man.
II countermand that order" he
barked, and hurried into his pri-

behind him.
Later in the day his book
keeper said to the stationer: May

countermanded your order for
those fountain pens?"

School work will be arranged at

Every pupil will find it to his

with the school and stop only
when the school stops" is a good
motto.

year should not vote for any can
didate tor either branch of the
Legislature who will not give a
written pledge to his constituents
ito do all within his power if
elected to enact a primary cleo
ton law for the nomination of all
candidates for public office from
United States senator to the
lowest office to be filled by the
ballot by direct vote of the peo-
pie under all of the safeguards
and penalties now in force or that
may hereafter be enacted for the
protection of regular elections
from fraud and other abuses,
such law to follow the lines of the
Wisconsin direct primary election
law; and for the purpose of in
suring such legislation to stay
out of all party caucuses upon
this subject and to cooperate
with any and all other members
of the Legislature, OF whatever
party affiliation, who may favor
such Legislation.
Only by such a pledge of the
individual candidates can any
honest legislation along this line
be expected.
The present system, subject as
1t is to perfect control by a sim
gle political boss in upsetting
and creating at will party organi-
cations in every section of the
state. is the one system that
every interest in the state which
thrives from menials in office and
constantly raids the people
through ownership of public Of
fcials will fight TO maintain.
1t is the most corrupt and in
famous system of basic govern
ment that ever cursed any
sovereign state OF the Union. Ii
is a system that make towards
and sycophants out of every can
didate for public Office; that
crushes every honest and worthy
ambition OF young men to enter
the public service; that degrades
every person who has aught to do
with it, and that will eventually
destroy not. only the commercial
prosperity OF the state but the
moral responsibility of the peo-
pie, if permitted to continue.
Its overthrow can be encom-
passed il a few hundred deter
mined citizens will band together
in every Legislative district in
Colorado to champion the cause
of popular sovereignty.
In a state whose proud dis
tinction it is that its voting wo'
men greatly influence the right
eous settlement of all great moral
questions, there can be no doub,
of the result of this issue if every
lover of political freedom will
give share OF his or her time
to the cause until election day.

Direct Nomination Of Officials and How to
Bring it About in Colorado.


s,
RADIO is a fgment of the imaag-
ination
The vaunted rule of the Peo-
pie is a lost art-as rare as the
Jewels of the Aztecs-as weak as
an average legislator under the
Establishments of millionaire
candidate for the United States
senate.
While the shackles of machine
despotism have been shattered in
twenty-seven states during the
past decade, they have been
gradually Tightening their grip
around the limbs of Colorado
voters until they have forced the
supreme and overshadowing issue
in this state this fall of permanent
political serfdom or absolute po-
litical freedom.
There never was such a crisis
in the due, legal and orderly
government of the state, as ex-
lists at the present time.
On several occasions in our
history individual criminals or
bands of adventurous outlaws
have undertaken to overthrow
local government and to defy the
regularly constituted authorities,
but the strong arm of organized
and orderly society has always
been effective in suppressing
them.
Sporadic anarchy is easily dealt
with. individual crimes are sus-
ceptible OF summary punishment.
The raid of the cavalry of dis
order and of defiance of law can
always be overthrown by the
armies OF the people, when such
armies are commanded by officers
of their own selection.
But what must be said of gov
ernment that is founded on
anarchy; of elected officials whose
first obligation is to the riotous
leaders of disorder; of admins
trative. judicial and legislative
officials who begin to climb the
ladder to power with the unpro
tested boost of avowed enemies
to regular and orderly procedure
The voters of Colorado are
probably we'll enough informed
on the proceedings OF the recent
democratic and republican con-
ventions to determine how APP
plicable these arguments are to
the actions of those conventions.
To indulge in details. or to
attempt to arouse the public
conscience to a sense of civil duty
and pride relative to these ques-
tions is not the purpose of this
article.
That work will be fully covered
from the public platform during
the pending campaign. Already
from every section of the state
come abundant assurances that
thoughtful and patriotic citizen:
are fully alive to the importance
of the issue and grimly deter
mined to substitute their rule foi
the reign of the political boss
and their authority for the dom
ination of all government by any
millionaire adventurer who may
wish to prostitute the present
election machinery of the state tc
his own selfish purposes.
The remedy for these evils il
the enactment of a law by thu
next Legislature which shall pro
vide for the direct nomination o
ail candidates for public Office
The newspaper., 1908-09-18

much as legislation can accom-
plish in the way of restoring the
right to the people to select pub
lie officials.
The remedies are simple
enough.
To obtain those remedies is a
most difficult task and the result
can only be accomplished by the
united courage and tenacious de-
termination of patriotic voters in
every Legislative district in the
state.
Time and again in county and
state conventions the democratic
party has declared for an effect
i've direct primary election law.
Yet, when in full power in the
state it made no effort to en-
act such a law.
Several times in county and
state conventions the Republican
party has eeclared for the enact
ment of a direct primary election
law. Yet, when in full power, the
Republican party made no effort
to enact such law.
This year the democratic state
platform contains the following
declarstion:
I'VE DEMAND THE ADOP-
TION OF A DIRECT PRI-
MARY ELECTION LAW"
The republican platform con-
tains this clause:
I'VE FAVOR THE ENACT
MENT OF A PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW"
From what has been stated it
will appear to the most careless
voter how silly is the subterfuge
of these declarations.
In both platforms. whenever
the guiding hand that drafted
them meant real business. the
subject matter was made clear
and distinct and the Legislative
candidates of the party were
pledged to enact such legislation
Not so with the all important
subject of primary election law
Language could not make the
clauses any more general or per,
functory or ineffective. The re-
publicans do not even favor the
enactment of DIRECT" pri-
mary election law, but just favor
the enactment of primary elec'
ton law"
Il There is already on the statute
book of Colorado a law entitled

100 acres or 500 square miles, making
total territory of 70.S4l 500 acres

RENO, July 11-More witnesses
were examined this afternoon in the
trial of Stanley Peek for the murder
of Andrew Satero in this city on the
21st of last May.
The prosecution is putting up a
very strong case, attorney Sardis
Summerfield helping the district at
torney, having been employed by
friends of the murdered man.
The defense has so far said moth
ing that would give an idea on what
they will base their grounds for free
dom of their client although it is
known that they have some good
evidence favorable to Peek in their
possession.
Witnesses examined yesterday and
today tell of the familiarity shown by
Satero to Mrs. Peek and also that he
user uncompromising language to her
in the presence of others.
1t may be possible that a night
session will be held and the case go

company ground will be taken care

distance below the Selby mill and is
admirably adapted for the purpose. Il
is the intention of the company to

the plant will not be a large one to
start with, it will be so planned that
additions can be made without great
expense A -Kinead mill of 20 tons
