Who Are
Your Friends?
SHALL COLORADO PLACE HER.
SELF IN THE OKLAHOMA
clASS7

At the coming election the state OF
Colorado is going to line up with one
or the other Of two groups OF states in
the Union. Shall we line up with New
England. New York. Pennsylvania.
Ohio. Illinois, Michigan and our sister
states In the Rocky Mountain region.
or shall We line up with South Caro-,
lima. Mississippi. Arkansas and Okla
homa?
Twice the majority OF the voters OF
this state have elected TO get In line
with the latter group.
How did We like Il?
Was II pleasant for n Colorado man
who had n frstclass mining PROPOSE.
tlon to present to go to New York and
find as soon as he announces the state
OF his residence. that nobody with
money to invest cared to hear any
thing further about II?
Can anyone rightly estimate the mil
lions OF investment money that might
have been placed In Colorado which
were withheld simply because this
state In 1896 and 1900 had chosen TO
place Itself In the Democratic column
The people Of Colorado are among
the most intelligent In the Union.
Shall we join with the other states OF
intelligence or shall we join with the
group OF states which has the greatest
percentage OF illiteracy. the smailes,
school attendance and the smallest
number Of voters In proportion to pop,
ulation OF any part Of the union7
In the state Of Colorado as high
wages are paid to labor M In any state
In the Union, The people OF this
state believe In generous rcmuncra'
tion OF every man who works as the
fruit of his toll Shall we line up With
the states In which high wages are
paid. In which union labor secures lta
fullest recognition. or shall we line M
with the states where unions are
scarcely recognized and where wages
are lower than In any other portion Of
this country
Now ls the time for Colorado 10

Now is the time for us 10 declare by

The Candidates
for Governor
THE TWO PRINCIPAL NOMINEES
CONTRASTED BY AN lNDE-
PENDENT NEWSPAPER.

AS between the Republican aud
Democratic candidates for governor
the people of Colorado ought to have
no difficulty in making choice. Jesse
F. Mcdonald, the Republican candi.
date, is man of tried ability and ex-
perience, having already given the
state one of its most successful almiE-
istrations. Mr.. Mcdonald was elected
lieutenant-governor on the ticket with
James H. Peabody in November, 1904,
, and succeeded to the governorship the
following January as result OF the
contest which eliminated both Peabody
and Adams. He assumed office at a
time of unusual stress and excitement:
the whole state was wrought up over
the events growing out of the Western
Federation strike. and seldom has
more bitterness been engendered by a
political contest than was caused by
the struggle for the governorship be.
tween the adherents of Peabody and
Adams.
A strong man was needed at the
helm, man who could step in at tho
head of the state administration an,s.
restore peace and order. Governor
Mcdonald proved to be the man for
the place. With his accession came
an end to the turmoil. Throughout
the two years of his administration
the state enjoyed Industrial peace and
prosperity. Its affairs probably never
were better administered. and Cover.
nor Mcdonald retired from office at the
end Of his term with the respect and
confidence of his political opponents
as well as of all of his friends.
Mr.. Shafroth. his opponent. who re.
joices in the appellation OF Honest
John" is the gentleman who attained
fame a few years ago by resigning his
seat In Congress just in time to save
himself from being kicked out because
of his fraudulent election. Undoubtedly

Domestic servants in Germany come

below a certain income to provide for
their old age. The postoffice issues
cards and stamps, and one of these
stamps must be dated and affixed to
the card every Monday. Sometimes
the employers buy the cards and stamps
and show them at the postoflice each
month. Sometimes they expect the
servant to pay half the money re-
quired. Women who go out by the day
get their stamps at the house they
work in on Mondays. If girl marries
she may cease to insure and may have
a sum of money toward her outfit. In
that case she will receive no old age

Eli Whitney. who 80 long vexed his
soul over his first and mightiest inven.
ton. the cotton gin, was aided In his
success by the quck wit and insight Of
q woman. In "Old Paths and Legends
of the New England Border" Miss
Katherine NJ. Abbott gives the story,
as told by a granddaughter Of General
Nathaniel Greene, Of the cOnsumma-
ton Of Whitney's experiment at the
beautiful and hospitable Dungeness,
on Cumberland island, canopied with
live oaks and olive trees.
Mrs. Greene had become interested
In Mr.. Whitney's enterprise and invit-
ed him to spend the winter at Dunge-
ness, where an abundance of cotton
and quiet were assured"
One morning he descended headlong
into the drawing room from his work
shop in the fifth story and excitedly
exclaimed, THE victory is mine! In
deep sympathy guests and hostess went
with him to see the model in motion
by which Whitney was to change the
Industrial history Of the world
For few moments the miniature
saws revolved without hindrance, and
the separation Of the seed from the
cotton wool was successfully accom-

clogged with lint, the wheel stopped.

Mrs. Greene. She seized clothes

exaggeration of gratitude, you have

AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
For Her Young.

The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
For Her Young.
There is something really pathetic in
the way q mother butterfly builds a
nest for her children. In the first
place. the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents a great deal
of sacrifice. for 1t is lined with several
layers Of down plhcked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious.
pretty couch. are protected by an
equally pretty coverlet made Of the
same material.
These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that is quite
curious and perplexing. Sometimes a
bed is made SO that each separate deli
cate hair stands upright, thus giving
the entire nest the appearance of lit
tie brush of downy fur. Then again
the eggs are laid spirally round tiny
branch. and. as the covering follows
their course, the effect resembles the
bushy tail of a fox, only the nest is
more beautiful than the brush of the
finest fox that ever roamed over coun-
try.
The building Of this dOwny nest is the
latest earthly labor of the mother but
terfly. for by the time it is completed
her own delicate body is denuded of its
natural covering and there is nothing
left for her to do but die, a sacrifice
which she promptly and heroically
makes in the interest of the coming
butterfly generation.

White HOUSE COURTESY.
The Way President Polk Threw Down
the Barriers.


If any president of modern times
were to exhibit the official indecency
that John Adams exhibited when JEFF
ferson became president he would be
denounced by every reputable newspa-
per and intelligent citizen of the land.
1t was then. as it is now, the accepted
duty of the retiring president to re-
ceive the incoming president at the
White House and accompany him to
the Inauguration ceremonies, but the
last official act Of Adams as president
was the nomination of member Of
what were called midnight judges"
the night before the Inauguration Of
Jefferson, and during the night he
and his family withdrew from the
White House, leaving none but the
servants to receive the incoming presi-
dent, writes Alexander X. Mcclure in
the Circle.
1t was President Polk who first had
the courage to disregard the political
passions of the times by inviting Hen
~ Clay, who had been his competitor,
to dine with him and Mrs. Polk in the
White House. 1t was near the close
of the Polk administration, during
which Clay had been a senator most
of the time and it shocked the Demo-
cratic sentiment of the time when 1T
was announced that Clay had dined
with President Polk, not on a state oc
casi0n, but had been welcomed at the
family dinner as a friend. Clay was
the soul of chivalry, and Polk was
man of upblemished character and
high attainments. and his example Of
courtesy to Clay has never since been
broken

England's Day.

April % is a memorable day in Eng
lish history To begin with, it is the
day dedicated to the patron saint Of
England, ST. George. 1t was through
the crusaders that st. George was
thus selected. He was born in Cappa-
docio, and later his bravery against
the Romans became military tradi-
ton; hence the regard for him on the
part Of the English warriors who en-
gagged in the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported to have
been born and died. Later, in 1861,
Charles II. was crowned king on April
%. Lastly, Wordsworth died on this
momentous day.-London Standard.

STAND PATTERS' TRICK.
Tariff Commission a Scheme to Delay
Revision.

Revision.
1t is congress and congress only,
aided by the president, that has power
to revise the tariff. 1t should not and
cannot. as I believe, shift its work to
any commission. A congress that
wants the tariff revised downward
will proceed at once to lower duties.
A congress that is controlled by stand
patters and tariff beneficiaries and
that Is yet compelled to do something
to quiet the people will be likely to
appoint a commission to make excur-
sions to foreign countries, to hold hear
ings and finally to make long winded
and meaningless reports. While this
commission will be slowly prosecuting
it's investigation the tariff trusts will
continue to plumber the helpless con-
sumers and viii raise a campaign fund
that VIII almost insure the reelection
Of stand patters and the defeat Of re-
visionists. Instead Of this programme
Of delay would have q president who
would call an extra session Of congress
10 revise the tariff immediatelya and radi-
cally.-Ex- Governor william L. Douglas.
