of the time; being in the service OF

years. and for the last twelve years
prior to January Ist. 1907, in the ser
VICE OF the Atchison, Topeka and San

ABOUT Our CANDIDATES


School at Grcclev and has entered for
work looking toward degree in the
Denver University.
Such strong professional spirit
is not without its effect upon the
teachers under her jurisdiction. More
of the teachers have attended Insti-
tutes and Teachers Association and
State Normal School this year than
ever before and more OF them have
taken up systematic professional read
ing. These things have an apprecia-
Bile effect upon the conduct of the
schools. School directors are catch
ing the inspiration, too, and employ
ing more and more teachers who have
had academic and professional train
ing. A Teachers Institute was held
in La Junts last spring under the di-
rection OF Mrs. Money, which had a
lasting influence. Addresses BY such
men as DR.. Aylesworth Of Fort COL
Inns. DR.. Chadsey of Denver. and DR..
Miller of Greeley attracted the atten-
tion of the public as well as of school
people.
In hard times and in times of pros
perity, Mrs. Money has encouraged
the people. to keep in mind the needs
and interests of the public schools
a thing which is Of vital importance
in the preparation of our future citi-
zens. There have been school build
ings erected. new furniture provided,
and better equipment secured. School
libraries have been increased and
more attention given to manual train
ing work and to beautifying school
grounds. Some part of this improve
ment is due to the untiring influence
OF the County Superintendent.
For four years Mrs. Money has
been visiting the schools all over the
county. She knows the people in
their homes. She knows the children
at school and at home. She knows
the conditions thoroughly and is ready
by reason of this thorough knowledge
to make decisions which are lust and
fair. Many of the teachers she has
known since before they took their
first examination. In many cases she
has decided where they would do the
best work. If there is a change in
supcrintendents this year. such knowl-
edge OF people and conditions canno:
be gained by the new incumbent with
out effort and loss of time.
The people. are proud of their pub
lie schools. They realize that they
are of the greatest importance. They
know that the real good of the public
schools Is, far more to be considered
than mere partisan interests.
Briefly, here are some of the rea-
sons why Mrs. Money should be re-
turned to the Office Of County Super
intendent:
% She is a woman Of right prin-
c:ples.
(a) She is possessed of culture and
tact.
80 She has had excellent acade-
mic and professional training.
% She knows the conditions IN
every district.
(5) She is an inspiration to teach
ers and patrons.
(6 She encourages progress and
Improvement.

Charles F. Evans. the republican
candidate for county treasurer, was
born in Philadelphia. Pa, where the
pure and unadulterated brand Of re-
publicanism holds sway. on January
Is, 1868. Mr.. Evans was engaged
in business for himself for number
of years prior to his coming to Colo
rado in 1890, since which time he has
served in various capacities of trust
with the American Beet Sugar Com
pany, with whom he is still employed
as accountant for the farmers. Mr..
Evans has also been a member OF
the Rocky Ford school board for
nearly FIVE years. his term, which ex-
pires next May, having given the
best of satisfaction for the sound bus
mess judgment, as well as the agree
able and courteous manner OF the IN
cumbent.
Mr.. Evans was also a member of
the class of 1883 of the University OF
Pennsylvania. where he stood way
IL toward the head in his studies.
The nomination of Mr.. Evans is
another case of the office seeking the
man. for the reason that man more
qualified in every respect for this
important office could not have been
chosen. He will be our next county
treasurer beyond a doubt, and will
give the people the best service in
appreciation of the many republican
as well as democratic votes which will
elect him as our next county treas
urcr.

PROHIBITION THE ISSUE IN NEXT
STATE CAMPAIGN.
So Predicts Col. Stewart.--SaysN Next
Governor Will Come From North
Louisiana, Winning on Statu-
tory Prohibition Platform.

The New Orleans Picayune of
Tuesday contained the following
interview with Colonel Harrison
Stewart of Tensas Parish:
Former Representative Harrison
Stewart, of St. Joseph, Tensas
Parish, who has been travelling
over North Louisiana, in the ter
ritory west of Monroe, for Vicks-
burg cotton seed concern, reached
the city yesterday and put mp at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
"Rock-rib prohibition is the
greatest Issue in the State to-
day." declared Mr.. Stewart, chat
ting with some political friends
at his hotel. "The next Governor
of this State will be elected on
"A statutory prohibition platform.
1t will sweep the State in another
three years. You can hear little
else all through the north and
western portion of the State.
"In my opinion, there will be
just two planks in the next win
ning platform in louisiana: First,
Statewide prohibition; second,
economics in the administration
of the State Government, the cut-
ting down of every expense pos
sible."
Mr.. Stewart said there was al
ready gossip in north Louisiana
towns of probable candidates for
Governor Oh the platform he out
lined.
"lt is rather early to figure on
candidates, but many people are
already talking" added the form
er member of the House. "You can
hear two names being mentioned
quite OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Thos.
G. Barrett, of Shreveport, and
Judge Chas. V. Porter, of Natchi-
toches. | believe north Loui,iana
will get the next Governor. There
was prohibition talk in the last
campaign. bnt the tide is now
reaching its full force and / be-
lleve it will sweep everything be-
fore it, from the Arkansas line TO
the gulf, and this will be n time
when there will he no exception
for New Orleans. It's an old Gus
tom in the Legislature in the
writing of a bill to almost auto
matically write: 'The Parish of
Orleans excepted but not so in
the prohibition fight three years
hence. New Orleans must face the
issue. do not believe the Gov
ernor will come from New Or
leans"
Mr.. Stewart will return TO
north Louisiana to-day.

THE CHARGES AGAINST PROF.
CALDWELL.


signed reasons for the removal Of
Prof. B. G.. Caldwell rs president
of the State Normal School at
Natchitoches.
They are, first, that he kept
herd of Jersey cows on the schools
lands and maintained them at the
schools expense, and sold dairy
products to the school ut profit;
second, that the finapces Of the
school were badly managed and
that no vouchers were kept.
These are grave charges and
taken for true, justify the action
of the Governor in the removal
of Prof. Caldwell. The Governors
statement is backed mp by re-
port of the State Travelling Audi
tor, who made an investigation.
But there are two sides to all
cases, and, to be fair and impair
tial, We give the side of Prof.
Caldwell as we have heard it
through friends of his. 1t is stat
ed that the fact that he kept n
herd of Jerseys and supplied the
school with dairy products is
nothing new, and that there was
no concealment; Oh the contrary
it is alleged that the situation was
forced upon him by n combina-
ton of circumstances, the facts
being that there was no dairy
in rr NIB ut Natchitoches to sup
ply the needs of the school and
that he undert OK to supply the
lrman only after failure to get
any one else To do so: that he af-
forwards frequently asked to be
relieved of the responsibility for
the very reason that it would in
cur criticism, and that these facts
were known To the Board of Con-
:rol.
When the report first became
public that Prof. Caldwell was to
be removed it was understood that
the removal was to be for politi-
cal reasons, and Prof. Caldwell
having admittedly rendered val
liable and even brilliant service
to the State and the cause of ed
ucation storm of protest was
raised. That was met with a dec
laratiOn that he would be re-
placed by as good if not n better
man and sometime afterwards the
announcement was made that
State Superintendent James B.
Aswell was to resign and that he
was to be appointed president of
the State Normal. This program
was carried out aud there was no
intimation of any charge against
Prof. Caldwell. The newly ap-
pointed Board of Control met.
or organized, duly accepted Prof.
Caldwell's ''resignatiOn" and
passed resolutions eulogizing him
to the skies.
If it is true then that the facts
about the charges now preferred |
were known at that time it would |
seem that that was the time and |
place to have made them and that
plea in estoppel is good.
But we hold no belief in de-
Tense of Prof. Caldwell; we do
not even know that the version of
his side of the case as we have
presented it is correct. We, in
common with many others, felt
that he had been done an injustice
and that the cause of education
had suffered a severe loss by his
removal and we did not hesitate
to say so, friendlyas we are and
have been to Gov. Sanders and
his administration.
AS the matter now stands Prof.
Caldwell owes the public a state
ment, both in justice to himself
and his friends.-Monroe Star.
