Roosevelt's Indorsenent of Tan

"He is not only absolutely fearless,
absolutely disinterested and upright,
but he has the widest acquaintance with
the nations needs, without and within,
AMI the broadest sympathies with all
our citizens.
'He would be as emphatically a presi-
dent Of the plain people as Lincoln, yet
not Lincoln himself would be freer from
the least taint Of demagogy, the least
tendency to arouse or appeal to class
hatred OF any kind.
HE has a peculiar and intimate
knowledge of and sympathy with the
needs Of all our people-of the farmer, OF
the wage worker, Of the business man,
of the property owner.
mo matter what a mans occupation or
social position, no matter what his creed,
his color, or the section of the country
from which he comes, il he is an honest,
hard working man who tries to do his
duty toward his neighbor and toward
the country, he can rest assured that he
will have in MIR. Taft the most upright
of representatives and the most fearless
OF champions.

This number Of Recreation is profusely
illustrated and altogether will appeal to
the lover Of outdoor sports.

In view Of the circumstance that a
great deal of the argument in opposi-
ton to Mrs. Clara M. KERN. the repub-
lican candidate for county superinten-
dent, will be based on the simple fact
that she is woman, her friends would
like to call the attention Of the voters of
Elbert county, and especially the women
voters, to few truths in this connection.
The suffrage law of Colorado gives to
woman as yell as man the right til vote,
but the different parties have practically
closed all the political offices against her
except in the educational department of
the state. In all educational matters
and in the administration of our schools,
it is recognized that woman is the equal
and in some respects the superior Of man
aud by tacit consent the women voters
Of the state have received the bulk of
their representation in this branch and
in an exceptionally able and intelligent
manner have conducted the offices Sc
cured by them. This being the case, it
is folly OF the rankest sort to contend
that a woman Is unequal to the task of
properly conducting the schools of Elbert
county. That woman is not the equal
OF man in this office may be a very
good political argument, but it won't wash
worth cent and we believe that the in
telligent women voters will not stand for
it for a minute. This fall the office is
open to a woman who is in every way
properly fitted to fill it in manner high
ly creditable to the feminine voters of
Elbert county, and we expect to see her
elected by good big majority.
One office in the county is certainly
due the female vote and they can have
it by getting out and hustling.

Colorado Notes

The state auditing board has used less
than $4,000 for incidental expenses
during the present administration, the
smallest amount appropriated for this
purpose in many years.
State banking institutions are now
under rigid inspection. The new law.
which was on the program Of the repub-
lican party during the last legislative
session, is giving every possible salts
faction.
Three hundred state employees OF the
various public institutions are now
working under civil service rules. The
new law passed by the last republican
Legislature is doing much for more ef.
ficient service in state institutions.
The school fund apportioned among
the various counties this year amounted
to s272, ,39244 The state now looks at
ter the needs OF 5000 school teachers
and 207, ,573 school children. 1t is i'm
portant to see that the funds are handled
properly.
Six hundred thousand cattle and
more than 10000 horses are inspected
annually by the State Board OF Live
Stock Inspection. About 900 estrays
are taken charge of each year and the
money for their sales refunded to own
ers when possible.
Thirty thousand cases OF abused and
neglected children have been handled
per year by the Colorado Bureau of
Child and Animal Protection and about
the same number of abused and negleot-
ed animals. Other states are copying
the methods Of the Colorado bureau.
One hundred and sixty five convic-
tions for violations Of the game laws
have been procured by the state fish
and game department since the last
democratic administration. By the close
OF this year the department will have
planted more than 8,000,OO0 trout fry in
the streams Of the state.
The new banking law now in opera
tion in Colorado acts as a guarantee of
safety to bank depositors. State su
pervisions OF banks was not easy to
procure; but it was on the republican
program and it went through by sheer
force. AS result the banks doing bust
ness in Colorado will, so far as provision
can make them, of necessity be sound,
reliable concerns, free from any quest
ion as to their strength and safety.

HEIRS ATTACK ACTS
OF CONSUL GENERAL
Judge Wilf1ey's Order for Adj
ministration in Shanghai Is
Subject of Appeal

Whether the United States consul
general to China had the power to ad-
minister on the estates of American
citizens dying in the orient was the
question argued yesterday before the
United States circuit court of appeals
The appeal was made from the decis-
ion of Judge Wiley of the United
States circuit court at Shanghai in the
case of Henry III. Cunningham. who
died several months ago in the Shang-
hal hospital.
Attorneys for the heirs of Cunning
ham contended that the administration
of estates was outside the jurisdiction
of the consul general and consular
court under the common law. They
argued that the procedure should be
under the law of the state in this coun-
try where the decedent had last re-
sided and under which laws his will
was drawn.
Cunningham left an estate of large
value. James Linn Rogers, consul gen.
eral of the United States. appointed the
administrator. 1t was alleged that the
estate had been looted by excessive
charges, amounting to $4,000.
Attorney George Clark made the ar
gument for the government. He con-
tended that the appeal had been taker
too late and that a demurrer could not
be interposed to a plea The case was
taken under Amusement

sist in Securing Donations
From the Public

War on the San Francisco public was
formally declared yesterday morning at

Wholesale captures will be made by
the small but valiant army which will
sally forth TO attack San Francisco

viii be compelled TO pay the enormous
sum of 10 cents as ransom. Prisoners
wishing to be especially generous will
find their captors willing to take more
than a dime. In return for the dime
you get a small tag stating that you
have been tagged for charity and urg
ing others TO get busy and get captured.
With the tag goes the satisfaction of
have been taken prisoner by fair young
ladies, but the real satisfaction lies
in the fact that the dime will, with
many Of its kin, bring care and treat
ment TO hundreds of San Francisco's
suffering little ones.
The children's hospital is at present
housed in refugee cottages and needs a
new and larger hospital building to
house the many sick children. who can
not be cared for at present because of
lack of room.
A letter was read by Commanding
General Helen Hecht at yesterdays
meeting, from Thomas F. Boyle, chair
man of the school board. offering the
use of schoolrooms for district head
quarters and promising the aid of the
school board in securing the co-opera-

ing tags.
