was struggling mining camp almost wholly de- pendent upon the ''pannings" of placer miners who worked up and down Cherry creek. isail- roads builded to the little city. The search for. gold and silver was pushed to the west from Denver Bonanza strikes were made, and while the search for gold in the immediate Den yer section was abandoned, the inhabitants of that live little town kept their coors flying. It was of necessity for a time the distributing point-the place where the burro train met the steam car, and taking this burden of freight distributed it along the tortuous trails of the treasure bearing Rockies. Denver recognized her importance and her opportunity It was within the possibilities for the town to become the permanent distributing point for wonder ful era of mineral producing ground, and the pioneers of thirty years ago builded well the foundation for the magnificent Denver of today.
 The history of Denver can easily be made the history of Globe.
 Globe has many advantages that Denver did not possess. There is sufficient mineral wealth within the city limits and at the doors of the city to make prosperous town for 50O00 in- Ihabitants for fifty years to come. But what Globe has in hand is but mere drop i'll the bucketful compared with what she has at her command Globes feeding territory Globe $ bread basket-extends 100 miles in every direc- tion from the city As the glistening bands of steel blaze the trail into territory, the pow erful hand of Globe must be felt. The supplies for the new territory must be at hand and the interests of the people who settle this new territory must be at hand and the interests of the people who settle this new country must be | the interests of the people who propose making the Greater Globe. Our successful business men must cease to look abroad for investment. The money, brain and brawn to develop the new country must come from Globe The relation
 ship between the old and the new must be blood
 relationship. The success of one must spel
 success for the other. In brief the Globe nfu
 ence, the Globe enterprise, must permeate this entire secton just as the power and greatness o1
 Denver has been felt in what has been made
 Denver territory. There is no question about
 the undeveloped wealth surrounding this city
 for miles in every direction, and the great
 ness of the future Globe is to be measured by this hidden treasure

THE GREATER GLOBE

Several weeks ago the Silver Belt, at consid- erable length, forecasted the Future Greater Globe if the opportunities of today were em- braced and the most made of every proffered ad- vantage
 At that time the Silver Belt predicted that Globe would ultimately become, not only great mining center, but the sOuthwest's chief and most important distributing point. That prophecy is going to be fulfilled as sure as en- terprise continues to be an important charac- teristic of the people of this city.
 Railroads are to prove the chief factor in this transformation. The present main line of the Southern Pacific will practically put Globe on that steel thoroughfare in passing by San Car los. That this change is to be effected there is no longer doubt. It is barely possible that long before the close of 1910 transcontnental trains Syill be passing.to and fro over this new main line. This in itself would give great impetus to the growth of Globe, but if railroad opera tions were to cease with the completion of this line the outlook would be gloomy for the fulfill ment of the Silver Belt s prophecy.
 But fortunately railroad building is not to cease when this road is completed. If it is to successfully compete with other lines, the South ern Pacific must have a north and south ine or, more properly speaking a line running from the southwest to the northeast. This is a fact that has been recognized by the Southern Pacific management for number of years, and accord ing to information that seems well founded the Espee has practically solved the problem, and what has long been mentioned as the Durango line will soon prove reality. Surveys for this line are now being run. The route is secret. 1t is a recent discovery. It traverses a section so full of promise that the railroad people will make great haste in completing the surveys and securing the necessary right of way. It will connect with the main line at San Carlos, pass through Globe, then to Durango, and over the Rio Grande tracks to Denver and on to the east This is the present plan of the railroad com pany Nothing but an unforeseen, unsurmounta- ble obstacle will stop it and the preliminaries have been gone over so thoroughly that inter- ruption is not likely to occur With this Durango line completed, Globe will become an important railroad center It will be the great supply point of an undeveloped mineral region of wonderful wealth It will be within a few hours of great forests of valuable timber. If will be within hailing distance of the coal fields of Colorado and New Mexico.

THE DREssMAKER IN POLITICS

The advocates of votes for women in New York do not indulge in violence, after the fashion of some of their British sisters. They employ different methods of convincing others of the righteousness of the cause. They believe in the convincing power of adornment. They re- sort to the ancient device of attracting mere man by the unanswerable argument that appeals to the eye Thus one reads, in report of a re- cent gathering of aristoeratic enthusiasts:
 ''She (Mrs. Mackey) received a
 rousing welcome as soon as the dele
 gates caught the first glimpse of her
 shell pink satin frock covered with
 Chinese embroidery in gold and silver
 thread and fastened at the girdle with
 huge sapphire and diamond buckle
 "Mrs. Catt and Mrs. John Mister
 Grammar wore black velvet trimmed
 with white lace, and Mrs Nathan black
 satin and jet and her pearl necklace.
 Mrs. William Story was resplendent i'll
 white duchesse lace, with picture hat
 of heotrope velvet adorned with os-
 trich plumes. Mrs. Charlotte Wilbour
 wore violet satin, with a white lace bon
 net and Mrs. Hermann famous pink
 tips were very much in evidence
 Miss Mary Garrett Hay stuck to
 the pale blue she habtually affects, and
 was one of the busiest persons there.
 Miss Grace Strachan was in black satin
 and Mrs Spencer in pearl gray'
 These resplendent costumes surely indicate honorable respect for the feminine right to the ballot They suggest brilliant possibilities of variation in the hitherto humdrum scenes of election day. The polling places will acquire 8 new attractiveness when the enfranchised ladies appear to illuminate their prosaic dullness with the glitter of Parisian decorations and the coruscating brilliance of jewels, the brighter light of their eyes, and the winning influence ol their smiles. Happy the candidate who enlists the support of these visible arguments! If this prospect be realized, no longer will old Genera Apathy be an element feared by the captains o1 party politics. No man will neglect to register in order to make secure his right to participate in these bright assemblies at the polls The scholar in politics will have a new and interest | ing theme in the influence upon municipal af fairs and national destinies of the confections o the dressmaker and the artistic triumphs of tht ieweler as re-enforcements of the natura charms of the citizens The gallant financiert of domestic affairs will gladly pay the bills thus incurred in the name of patriotism.

Popular Election of Senators.
Charlotte Observer,

Charlotte Observer,
The advocates of election of
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people have gained
greater headWay than many peo-
pie are aware. The change in
the manner of electing Senators
will have to be done by an
amendment to the Federal consti-
tuition. One mode of making
such amendment is by general
convention called by Congress on
the petition of the Legislatures
of two-thirds of the States. The
Legislatures of twenty-six States
have already sent such petitions
to Congress. If only five more
do likewise the thirty-one would
constitute tWo-thirds of the forty
six States of the Union and Con-
gress would be compelled to call
the convention to draft such con-
stitutional amendment. The
States which have already peti-
toned through resolutions adopt
ed by their Legislatures for the
calling of such convention are
Arkansas. California, Colorado,
Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn.
sylvania. South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
1t will be noticed that most OF
the States which have gone on
record as favoring such amend.
ment lie in the central West and
Northwest. Seven of them,
counting Missouri, are Southern
States, while there is only one
from the Northeastern section.
While the advocates Of popular
election of Senators have made
this much progress toward at.
tanning their object-they have
also, of course, evaded the con.
stitution by primary instructions
they would not be certain Of
success even were the Legisla.
lures of four more States to pc
tition Congress to call a conven
ton and such body to be convok
ed, for after assembling it nigh
not see fit to adopt such ar
amendment.
