IT WAS AMUSING, it really. wa.

1T WAS AMUSING, it really was-
that scrimmage at the state house be-
tween the solons for supremacy and the
election of a speaker of the house. If
the Republicans had been controlling
the entire program they could not have
managed it more to their liking or to
their advantage Lubers, who is
perhaps correctly designated by Alva
Adams as "the least worthy of the
whole lot' was elected for speaker
over Judge Hicks of whom the worst
that could be said was that he had the
support of Senator Patterson. But
Patterson is in i'll favor with the
masheen" hence his protege, Hicks,
must needs be defeated and to this end
no effort was neglected. There is no
surprise in the election of Harry Lu
bers, the ever ready tool of the "in-
terests' and the one above all others
whom the Speer- Evans combine can de
pend upon to serve as their tool and to
block such legislation as is necessary
to carry out the will of the Democratic
party as expressed in its platform at
the state convention at Pueblo. 1t was
almost certainty from the beginning
that the Speer element would win, by
fair means or foul, and this they did,
even by threats to hold up appropria-
tions for state institutions should their
efforts fail to land Lubers in the place
where he would do (them) the most
good.

THAT BoIsTERous LAUGHTER
AT WASHINGTON

1s'nt it coincidence, to say the least,
when one comes to figure out the reason
for those gales of laughter that sweep
through the Senate of late? Did any
one hear any uproarious snickers greet
ing former messages or communications
of the President? Not to vociferous or
reverberating extent. Rather did re
spectful silence settle down on those
classic halls, whenever the nation 's
chief executive had anything to say
The big stick fell like fIail in thrash
ing time, at intervals, and the sounds
that followed its falling, could scarce
ly be considered hilarious. But that
was before March 4th loomed so large
on the calendar. The Senate has taken
new heart, on rejecting that Mr. Roosc.
Welt has little time left-that his reign
is drawing to close. Hence those
outlaws emanating from Washington.

IMMIGRANT SAVINGS

one days ships from this port over $3.50,
900 was bound for Great Britain and
over $7s0,0OO for Italy. Austria Hun

Gently that in general immigration
tables for 1908 they were punched
among aliens coming from " all parts
of Europe" sent $1Os,OOO as against
the $4,000 forwarded by sons of
France.
A clearer idea of how money earned
here goes to the "old home'' may be
obtained from a statement of years
remittances in total.
In 1905 the Italians in America alone
sent back to Europe more than 5000
money orders representing $l1,000,O00,
while Austro- Hungarian remitters sent
81 $4,000, British $7,500,00O, Russian
nearly $5,200,000. Japanese $2,100,O0O
and German more than $1,0OO,O0O. In
the same year Italians going back to
Italy, according to the best. estimate
possible, changed about $51, 100000 in
to italian money which they carried
home.
The constant going back and fotth
of Italian wage-earners and their al
most ceasless carriage or transmission
of cash give them special interest in the
| Financial view. Other immigrants
send their savings to help parents and
| dependents in the old country. The
Italians do that too, but they also
send accumulations for their own esta
blishment in their own sunny land.
The transfer of $62, 100000 in single
year, as indicated by the above figures
for 1905, becomes of important effect
on the national prosperity of Italy

II HUSTLED INTO SILVER CLIFF,
SOME FEW ODD YEARS AGO;
AND NOW ALAS, I'VE GONE
THE WAY
THAT ALL THE RUsTLERS GO!

WHOEVER THINKS the cattle bust
ness is all profit should hear the re-
marks made by some of the oldtim-
stockmen concerning the cold weather
OF the past two weeks and its effect on
the cowman's s pocket. The Post has
heard from numerous sources of the
great expense to the stockmen in TAX
ing their herds through the winter. Re
Gently Col. W. l.. Smith of Divide creek
stated to the reporter that he was AT
that time feeding seven tons of hay
each day and when it is remembered
that he was offered several months ago
81 per ton for this hay in the stack
and that it is now worth $40 some idea
can be formed of the expense of caring
for n bunch of cattle through cold
winter. OF course this expense does
not include the wages and board of
several men to do the feeding, neither
does it include the almost una
voidable loss, of several head of cattle
each winter but all these things must
be considered and figured into the pro
fit and loss account of those who set
forth in the live stock business.

FLIRrno WITH A ro1TU1GK

A certain large man in Los Angeles is
just now giving q marvellous Antsa-
tionn of a man who does not care for
$4,000, yet is decidedly unwilling to
let the golden opportunity slide. All
devotees of the fighting game will re-
call the voluntary retirement Of one
James J. Jeffries, from the prize ring,
and his gift Of the championship bel.
to a fighter who was absolutely unable
to retain the same, when he went up
against a man as good as himself. The
belt made several changes In the year
following, chief and most calamitous
being a sudden shift from the possessi-
on of a French Canadian known AS
"Tommy Burns" into the big black
hands of a long smoke colored person
from Texas, called Jack johnson. And
thereby hangs the reason for the un-
certainty of mind now agitating this
Jeffries gentleman. The latter has re-
peatedly sworn not to engage in an ex-
change of wallops with any person
with a shade like to q cup of coffee,
and for long time he has kept the
pledge remarkably well for fighter.
But now arises n matter of sentiment
Ito say nothing of some few odd
simoleons) namely: Shall an African be
allowed the peaceable possession of a
belt emblematic of the physical suprem-
acy of the worlds Rises below from
the Caucasian race-"NEvER!" IN
reply, loud roar of defiance can be
heard from johnson, to the effect that
he cannot see just what specimen or
"po' white trash" is capable of tax
ing the aforesaid belt away from him.
And to further complicate the situation,
a certain fight promoter has offered
the princely sum of $4,000 as an alb
solute gift to Jeffries, if he will once
more don the gloves and make brave
effort to >obliterate Africa from the
pugilistic map. Now what we want to
know is, WILL HE OR WILL HE

;nw negro to be the best man in the
world. And itseems to us bigger
shame to turn down all that money

BAD ROADS CAUSE
vKHY HEAVY Loss

There are more than two million
miles Of public roads in the United
States, of which less than per cent
are known as "improved roads,' that
is, made of macadam, gravel or other
durable material. About 80 per cent of
ali the products of the country are
hauled by wagon for part of their
way to market, and it has been shown
roads is eight miles and the average
cost 25 cents per ton-mile In other
words, on an average it cost 50 for
every ton of grain or other products
that is hauled to market over wagon
roads 1t is estimated that this
cost could be reduced to 10 cents per
ton mile by the construction of better
roads, which would mean a yearly saw
ing of $l2, 100000 on corn, $1O,250, 900
on wheat and $5,000,000 on cotton. 4
The Commission on Country Life,
appointed by the President to devise
means of bettering the farmers con
dition reports that of the thousands of
letters of suggestion received from
farmers, most of them advocate i'm
proved roads as the most important
reform in the farmers g interest that
Congress can make. The National
Grange, with its membership of more
than million farmers, has indorsed the
plan of Federal aid, and last year, for
the first time, both political parties
put good roads planks in their plat
forms.
An extensive program of improve
ment may not be adopted within the
mex. few years, but it is hardly like
ly to be delayed very long. The fact
is coming to be recognized that bad
roads are not merely source of trouble
and annoyance, but of tremendous
economic loss as well as when the
public once understands that their
pocketbook is affected discussion will

WE'LL ADMINISTERED FUND

The news that San Francisco has
almost a million dollars left of the fund
subscribed for its relief at the time of
the earthquake and fire, and that the
money thus left will be dispensed
among the charities of the city, is in
deed welcome.
1t shows, in the first place, the I'm
mense recuperative power of every
American community, for there never
has been n visitation in the history
Of the world which wreaked worse de-
struction than that at San Francisco,
and yet in n few brief years the city
has apparently recovered from the
blow and has not even required all OF
tie aid money that was rendered it.
Another thing that is shown ia that
the recovery of San Francisco from the
taint of graft has been well nigh COM
plete, inasmuch as so great fund as
this offered enormous temptation to
those who had it in charge, and yet it
seems to have been preserved to the
best possible use. At the time of the
graft probe it was charged that the
relief funds had been diverted from
their original purpose into the pockets
of the grafters. but it appears that
this condition must have been rectif-
ed, for here we find San Francisco ac-
counting for immense sums after all of
its needs have been supplied.
It is "a healthy sign, healthy in every
way, and ltestifies generously to the
pluck and the essential honesty Of San

rArr,s TREMENDOUS VOTE

A few days before the election
President Roosevelt gave out an opinion
that Mr. Taft 3 vote would exceed the
unprecedented Republican vote of 1904,
when Mr.. Roosevelt led his opponent by
2iH- millions. This statement was treat
ed with derision on the Democratic side
and even among Republicans there were
few who did not regard it as exaggera-
ton of an enthusiast. But the total
vote, as now officially compiled, shows
that the President was right again,
as he had been in every important
political prediction he had ever made.
The Taft vote is larger by IA, 100 than
the Roosevelt vote.
OF course, the extraordinary Roosevelt
plurality was due to the unusually small
vote of Judge Parker rather than to
the increase on the Republican side.
1t was to be expected, therefore, that
Mr.. Bryan would make larger gain
over Parker. But while Bryan's vote
was 1881 more than that of Park
er, it fell more than 100000 short of
his vote twelve years ago, and was
only $4,000 more than his vote of
eight years ago. Considering the in
crease in the total vote, Mr.. Bryan IS
strength has steadily declined. Mr..
Taft's plurality was 1924, A,494, as
against McKinley's larger majority of
s49,79O, which he received in 1900.
The gain in the total vote this year
over the previous record-which was
made in 1soo-was nearly l million
votes.
The large vote brought out in the
recent campaign was as complimentary
to the electorate as it was unexpected
by the politicians. 1t was feared
through most of the campaign that the
vote would be relatively small. Tho
country seemed apathetic. The cam
paign was devoid of sensational fea-
lures and what would be called" burn
ing issues" 1t was a campaign of
reason in the main, and the lively re.
sponse of the people was tribute to
popular interest in elections and the
result was still higher tribute to
popular intelligence and independence.
In no other Presidential election in
many years have the people demonstrat
ed more soundly their capacity to rule.
For, aside from the results, they have
shown an Indifference to the old fash
ioned campaign methods and that they
are superior to the arts Of political de-
ception.-kanas City star.

WOULD NOT KEEP OUR
FACTORIES BUSY

The free trader is again exercising
himself over the question of trade bal
ances and insists that the quickest
way to get rich is to buy more from
foreigners than you sell them. 1t is
ingmen that the kind of foreign com
merce extolled by the free trader is
not calculated to keep our factories
busy. 1t may be true that the pur-
chaser is getting the worth of his
money, when he buys hosiery or other
goods "made in Germany" but it is
quite certain that when he docs so he
is not helping American workers to
get a job.-San Francisco Chronicle.
