The Salida Mail says:

( The Salida Nail says:
since the election OF Judge Morton
g. Bailey to the supreme bench he
will be required to resign his once Of
district judge and the ,yaoancy~will. b
6lied by gubernatorial appointment.
Attorneys Of the district are naturally
inclining their eyes upward in hope
of seeing this plum fall their way.
Chaffee county has three distinguished
lawyers who are prominently men
toned for appointment, namely Wal
lace Schoolneld OF Salida, George Har-
tenstein of Buena Vista and L. A. Hol-
lenbeck Of Salida.
Mr.. Hartenstien was candidate for
the supreme bench two years ago
when he was defeated along with the
entire state Democratic ticket His
nomination at that time is sumcient
proof Of his qualifications for the
office OF district Judge.
Mr.. Schoolneld's position is ably set
forth in an article which We produce
from the Chaffee County Democrat.
Should choice fall upon Judge l.
A. Hollenbeck the district would have
a fit successor TO Judge Bailey-who
has probably been the most popular
district judge in Colorado. Judge Hol-
lepbeck is gifted with a judicial mind.
He Is well versed in law. Is a clear
thinker. cool in judgment, quiet and
dignified in deineanor. logical in his
Ideas and of~unquestioued honesty OF
purpose.
There are many reasons why this
appointment should come to Chaffee
county-obvious reasons from a stand

terial to choose from. .. =.-. -..s.
The Chaffee County Democrat says:
1t is understood that General Jos
eph> Aaupan, and Hon. Lee Champion
OF Fremont county are among the a.
-pirants for the district jadseship soon
to be vacated by reason Of Judge Ball
ey's election to the supreme bench.
The democracy of Chaffee county also
has favorite one who may be induced
to enter the contest-Hon. wallace
Schoolfield. of S&lida- There 10 not .
lawyer in the Eleventh district better
fitted to serve the people satisfactorily
as district judge. His attitude on all
matters affecting the rights of the cit
ixen has been such as to inspire the
confidence and esteem Of those who
believe that the judiciary should lean
to the side of the masses when correct
Interpretation Of the statutes permit.
While Mr.. Scheduled Is beloved by
the democracy of this county by rea-
son of his ardent, unselfish devotion
to its cause. 1t is absolutely certain
that as district judge he would know
no party, and that his recognised 10y
atty to all that is best for the general
people would not be affected by par
tizan influence. In behalf of the ban
ner democratic county of the Eleventh
Judicial district, and voicing the wish
es Of the great majority Of the citizens
of that district, We respectfully urge
the appointment of Mr.. Schoolfield to
the responsible position from which
Hon. Morton s. Bailey must soon re-

Folklore Stories.

The Journal Of American Folklore
has some interesting Gclk tales OF the
Nez Perces Indians:
..Cnce the sun fell down from the
sky Just about sunrise. Mole caught
1t and held it up until people got there
and helped him to shove it back. The
sun had meant to roll along on the
ground instead Of in the sky. 1t was
from holding up the sun that Mole's
hands are bent so far back.
Coyote and Cloud ran race. Cloud
bet storm and Coyote clear weather.
They started far away to the SOUTH
and for awhile Coyote was in the lead.
Then Cloud made fruits Of all kinds
to grow in front of Coyote, and he'
looking back and seeing Cloud far be-
hind, stopped to eat. In this way
Cloud caught up and won. This is
whv we have storms in winter time.

Sitting Bull.

To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that be was always quiet and self con-
tained. In fact, he did usually keep
himself under control but he was cruel
and almost heartless. he had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived;
he was full Of passion and often very
angry. BE was always imperious and
insolent toward our generals, the In
dian agent and other friends Of the
great father at Washington, whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence in bring
ing Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid of death,
and, though he planned the greatest
victory which the Indians ever gained
over white men, Sitting Bull himself
was a coward and disgraced himself
even before his own people by running
away in the very face Of success

Thinks High License Will Result
Editor The Manning Times

Editor The Manning Times:
On the 3rd inst, there assembled in
Columbia a conference OF Prohlbltlon-
lists. and this conference decided TO ask
the members OF the incoming Legisla-
ture TO pass an act giving the State a
Statewide Prohibition law, forgetful
of the fact that there is no member Of
that Legislature to be, that is 10 any
way committed to the question OF whis-
|, key IN any shape or form.
Every voter in this State can plainly
recall to mind that two years ago the
whiskey issue was a political contest be-
tween the State Dispensary and Local
Option, aud that local option won and
that every true and fair minded Demo.
crat accepted to result as final.
The county dispensary under local
option, has like the State dispensary.
had its enemies and any credit to the
plan has been given very grudgingly
indeed. Two years hence, there will be
in our opinion different political opin-
ion in this State Of this same question
of alcoholic stimulants.
In that lapse of time the voters OF
this State will be clothed in their
right minds and will by their votes show
to the country that they will permit no
gang of cranks and fools posing as pro-
hibitionists to bride and muzzle their
liberties as free men.
The best thing the Legislature can do
at it's approaching session is to let the
question of Statewide prohibition alone
and leave the>question of Statewide to
the voters Of this State to settle among
themselves at the next election.
We still Believe that there should be
i dispensary established at every coun-
ty seat in South Carolina and let those
who are disposed to buy intoxicants buy
them, and let others that want to be
prohibitionists let them be so, and let
them be consistent in their walks OF
lie as pertains to strong drink then
they can be teachers, and not as in
many instances, it is the blind leading
the blind.
Were we a member of the Legisla-
5ure 10 be, we would cast our vote from
start to flush to let the whlskey ques-
ton remain as it is, and two years from
now let the advocates for whlskey and
the advocates against the same discuss
the question freely and openly from
every stand point and let the voters OF
this State decide the question for them
selves.
We are and ever will be opposed to
any gang fetching up at churches and
discussing hequestion of whiskey when
the people of community has assem-
bled themselves together for religious
services. The prohibitionlsts may with
their lately converted and turn-coas
allies bring about Statewide prohlol-
tion, but in our guessing, before many
wears the next move on the political
chessboard will high be license.
