PROTECTION OF HEALTH.

The Republican party stands com
mitted to adequate protection of the
public health. This is one of the
| practical reforms inaugurated by the
last legislature and it Is to the credit
| of the Republican members of the as
sembly that certain important meas
ures were placed on the statute books
There are few matters requiring leg
islation of more Importance than the
protection of human life, yet there are
none upon which Legislative bodies are
slower to act. 1t was only after a
hard. determined fight that the Colo.
rado pure food measure was passed in
both houses and enacted as a law.
What the pure food law guarantees
Is known to every housewife in the
state. 1t means that the responsible
ity of the sale and use of adulterated
anu poisonous products no longer rests
upon the housewives shoulders, but
upon the manufacturer and retailer.
When you go to store and order GER
tain kinds OF food, you know 1t will
come to you over the counter in a
healthful state of preparation. Now
that the reform has come and adulter-
ated food is no longer possibility, all
concerned are highly pleased. The
manufacturer knows that he is going
to meet clean competition, because the
other fellow can't adulterate products,
the retailer is glad to handle none but
honest goods, and the family has the
benefit of wholesome food stuffs three
times a day.
In this, as in other things, the Re.
publican party is entitled to the un-
stinted commendation of the people

ACTIVITY OF THE OLD BALLOT.
BOX sTUFFERe,

Since Charles J. Hughes. Jr., Demo
cratic candidate for United States Sen.
ator, has opened his "BarI" in Denver
the old leaders of the big Mitt" ballot
box suffers have become extremely
active and there are strong indications
that many Of the twenty-one varieties
of fraud committed in the Peabody
campaign will be used at the coming
election unless the Republicans show
extreme vigilance.
Mr.. hughes Is very astute politi-
clan who is also very wealthy. He has
long been the attorney of some of the
public utility corporations in Denver
and is stockholder in one or two of
them. Denver elects nineteen mem
bers of the next legislature. Mr.
Hughes thinks he knows how to get
them. He has turned the mud batter.
les of the Denver Post loose upon the
Republican ticket. This together with
the Bari" he expects to give him
the nineteen members of the legisla.
ture from Denver.
Every Republican in Colorado should
be made familiar with this situation.
Mr.. Hughes has long been a support
er of the big Mitt" in Denver.
This is what Judge Ben B. Lindsey
had to say of Mr.. Hughes when the lat
ter was defending the grating Demo
cratic county commissioners in Denver
fen years ago:
He said l was an migrate to have
exposed the commissioners. His logic
was that should have shut my eyes to
the stealing because they were Demo
Gratis and owned the office Of Judge
and had given 1t to me, Democrat;
was unfaithful to my friends and my
party; his logic was that had erred
in presuming that the office belonged
to the people, or that owed them any
duty. whatever"
This is the sort of man the Democrat
ic party has picked for United States
Senator and every Republican who
stays at home on election day casts a
vote for him.

$247 900, left over from the past four
years, an amount which will be ma

There has been a decided change in
financial matters at the state house in
recent years. Appropriations for state
institutions have been paid in full and
the efficiency Of their work has been

About 135,000 laboring men are en-
ployed in the mines, smelters, manu-
facuring and transportation indus
tries of Colorado. 1t is the business
office to collect full information about
these men, their wages and the condi-
tions surrounding them. Assistance is
constantly extended laboring men in
collecting wages from individuals and
corporations, where the wages are fair
ly due and the men have no money
with which to go to law Thousands
of dollars are thus saved to poor men
and women each year, who could not
otherwise collect it. The present de-
putty labor commissioner, Axel Swan
son, has also been instrumental in
avertlng several threatened strikes.
The recent Republican administra-
tion have been diligent in collecting
the state Inheritance tax. In 1901 and
1902 the Democratic administration
collected in only $539.77 from this
source. Republican administrations
have increased this amount each year
by la rye sums. In 1903 and 1904 the
sum Of s11,s2120 was collected; i'll
1905 and 1906, sos, 900, and in 1907 and
1908 approximately 100000 will be
realized. This result has been accom-
plished through diligent efforts Of the
state officials to uphold the validity
of the law and collect in every cent of
money due the state.
The attorney generals office has for
the past two years been actively en-
gagged in behalf of the people against
illegal combinations of capital. During
the present administration proceedings
were brought in Denver against the
grocery trust, coal trust and brick
trust, with good effect in each in
stance. Suits brought against non-res-
ident corporations for failure to pay
annual license taxes have brought the
state considerable revenue it would
otherwise have missed. Through the
vigorous efforts of this department the
railroad commission was saved to the
people, the inheritance tax law was ad
tusted and declared valid and impor-
tant cases were briefed and put on rec
