THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

Washington, Oct 3fr-rhc Prcsi.
dent today issued the annual Thanks
giving proclamation in which he point
ed out the steady growth OF the nation
in strength. worldly power, wealth
and population, and that our average
Of individual comfort and wcll-being
is higher than that OF any other coun-
try in the world For this, he declares.
Americans owe il to the Almighty to
show equal progress i'll moral and
spiritual things The proclamation
follows:
Once again the season is at hand
when. according to the ancient custom
of our people, it becomes the duty OF
the President 10 appoint a day OF
prayer and OF thanksgiving to God
Year by year this nation grows in
strength and worldly power During
the century and quarter that has
elapsed since our entry into the circle
OF independent peoples we have
grown and prospcred in material things
to degree never known before, and
not now known in any other country,
The f3 colonies which struggled along
the seacoast OF the Atlantic and were
hcmmed in but a few miles west OF
tidewatcr by the Indian-haunted will

the mightiest republic which the world
has ever seen Its domains stretch
across the continent from one to the
other Of the two greatest oceans. and
ii exercises dominion alike in the Arc.
tic and tropic realms. The growth in
wealth and population has surpassed
even the growth in territory No
where else in the world is the average
OF individual comfort and material
well being as high as in our fortunate
land
For the very reason that in mater
ial well being we have thus abounded,
we owe il to the Almighty 10 show
equal progress in moral and spiritual
things. With a nation, as with the
individuals who make up nation, ma
tcrial well being is an indispensable
foundation But the foundation avails
nothing by itself. That life is wasted,

in piling heap upon heap, those things

that in certain quarters fight will be
made upon me because of my sex /
ask the women of this county to consid-
er carefully the situation. A man has
received the democratic nomination.
The question is placed squarely before
the people. Shall man or a woman
ill this important Office? There can be
but one answer il the women of the
county support their candidate We
have the right of suffrage; we have been
granted one place on the county ticket
Ii the vote at the polls does not show a
big majority for their candidate the in
ference must be that the women do not
care for even this one place on the ticket
The time is short, the territory to be
covered is large and will be able to
talk to but few personally. Therefore,
take this opportunity to request my
friends, not only for their personal vote,
but that they also work in my behalf in
their individual circle of friends. Ii

deavor to fill the office we'll.

Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and have recovered from them
without treatment of any kind. do not
for a moment imagine that colds are not
dangerous. Everyone knows that pneu-
monia and chronic catarrh have their
origin in common cold. Consumption
is not caused by cold, but thecold pre-
pares the system for the. reception and
development Of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment. 1t
is the same with all infectious diseases.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has a
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in a cold than in any
other OF the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a cold
is to take Chamberlain's Cough remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected by
this preparation have made it staple
article of trade over large part of the
world. For sale by Fred Long.

Death of N. L. Gleason

While enjoying apparent good health
at his home in Elizabeth Hon. N. l..
Gleason was seized with Ian attack of
heart disease, with which he had suf-
fered for years, and died on Sunday,
October H.
Mr.. Gleason was a veteran OF the Civil
war and was one of the oldest pioneers
of Elbert county. He had been promi-
nently identified with the affairs of the
county, having served as a member of
the Fifteenth general assembly OF Colo
RADIO, had held the office OF clerk of the
district court for one term and was
twice county treasurer. AT the time of
his death he was one of the directors

A Splendid Record

10 IHE tribune:
In regard to the republican candidate
for the Office Of county clerk an6 record
er, Tom G. James, have this to say:
Mr.. James has proven his ability and
his worth as a thoroughly competent
official and as this position is by long
odds the most important Office In the
county, (the business transacted being
OF such nature that it must live for
ever and while believe that on general
principles any public official should be
satisfied with two terms, yet where the
Importance of the business is so great as
it is in this Office l believe that it would
be very unwise to intrust this work to
other than the most competent and re-
sponsible parties. The work of public
recording and abstracting is of such
great importance that frequently this
position is held for a lifetime where men
have proven their fitness for the work.
1t is business that can be learned in
no other way.

TAKE POLITICS STRAIGHT
OR INK THEM"
Choice Offered Denver Visitors

The way of the politician, as every
body knows, is soft, easy, pleasant way
and that is perhaps the reason why it
leads right to the Albany hotel in Dem
yer, where whole floor is devoted to
politics. There is little of every kind
on the political floor, no favorite brand
and the visitor can have his choice of
being a straight republican or straight
democrat, or he can even mix them.
1t often happens that a house is too
small, even a large house, to hold two
men Of different political faith. But at
hotel, it seems, the rule does not hold
good, FOR when an antagonist feels the
argument too heated he can withdraw
to his own committee room and there
find a friend who will soothe his in
jured feelings by agreeing with him,
then with renewed strength he will sally
forth into the corridor to vanquish the
enemy.
The corridor on the political floor is
the common battle ground. Here occur
the fights between democrats and re-
publicans. All about the corridor are
the forts and strongholds Of the two
parties. These are the headquarters
where the valiant political soldiers gath
er their ammunition, decide grave issues
and make ready the plans for their cam
pagns. In these political camps the
midnight oil is often seen to burma
silent witness to the fact that some
matter of weighty Importance to the
state, or perhaps to the nation, is being
discussed.
There is general impression that all
politicians look alike, but to the expert
enced eye of the observer-the watchful
man who hangs around Albany head
quarters, there is a marked difference
this year and he can often spot the re-
publican or the democrat at once. Large
fat men are in fashion this year with
the repu blicans This came in when
Bill Taft was nominated and Sam Dut-
ton, proprietor of the Albany hotel. says
that he has noticed that republicans
generally are taking on flesh. They do
this, Of course, out of compliment to
Taft. II they can't get fatter then they
wear large clothes that lend them the
air.
Bryan being an exponent of the sim
pie life it is in fashion with the Iemo-
Gratis to assume the plain ard unassum-
ing manner and the country style of
dress.
Following are some OF the political
headquarters on the Albany political
floor: Democratic national committee,
in charge of Governor Osborne of Wy
oming, west of the Mississippi; Demo
cratic advisory committee for the state
Of Colorado, in charge of Hon. Tully
Scott OF Cripple Creek; Senator Fred
Bailey's committee OF county democrats;
Consolidated Bryan clubs Of Colorado,
in charge OF c. F. Wilson; Republican
county committee in charge of Hon
Fred W. Parks: headquarters of Hon.
@. w. Franklin, democratic candidate
for governor.

More Than Enough is Too Much

To maintain health, a mature man or

the waste and supply energy and body
heat. The habitual consumption Of
more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause of stomach
