ALL FOR A DOLLAR

Sweeping along with the current OF
lodged against the rock strewn bottom
of Grand river is the nude body of Il
man that is believed to be the son If
wealthy and prominent parents in
Carthage, Mo. And it was all for a
dollar that this man lost his life on
! Tuesday of this week and his friend
of few hours came near meeting the
same fate.
Filled with drink, two men at Sho-
| shone wagered dollar each on their
powers of endurance against the trea
cherous current of the Grand river,
which during the knowledge of white
men has claimed scores of men and
children as its victims. Casting all
thoughts aside, the whiskey demon
ruled the brains of these men and they
entered what proved to be the watery
grave of one and the near grave OF
the other.
A dollar was at stake. The money
was in the hands of mutual friends.
1t shone in the sunlight and as the
drink dcadened brains whirled and the
CLASSY eyes We're turned on the shining
money, the demon beckoned them on
and they fell a willing party to his
desires.
A home has been saddened. A par

lar and at the same time retain his
own. There could have been no other
reason for the rash act that ended in
the death of Dougherty. 1t was the
dollar made larger and more valuable
by tire drink he had taken in his mis-
taken idea of having good time with
the boys.
Is it any wonder that the corps of
whiskey haters is increasing with each
passing day? When men will risk
their lives in Grand river for paltry
silver dollar, is it not time the best

protection be thrown about themH

THE HOME AS A SCHOOL
OF GOOD MANNERS

Not long ago I visited home where
such exceptionally good breeding pre-
vailed and such fine manners were prac-
ticed by all the members of the family
that it made a great impression on me,
says Orison SWEET Marden.
This home is the most remarkable
school of good manners, refinement and
culture generally I have ever been in.
The parents are bringing up their chill
dren to practice their best manners on
all occasions. They do not know what
company manners mean.
The boys have been taught to treat
their sisters with as much Difference NJ
though they were stranger guests. The
politeness, courtesy and consideration
which the members of this family show
toward one another are most refresh
ing and beautiful. Coarseness, gruff-
ness, lack of delicacy find no place
there.
Both boys and girls have been train
ed from infancy to make themselves in
teresting and to entertain and try to
make Others happy.
The entire family make it rule to
dress before dinner in the evening, just
as they would if special company were
expected
Their table manners are especially
marked. At table every one Is sup.
posed to be at his best, not to bring
any crouch, or a long or sad face to it,
hut to contribute his best thought his
wittiest sayings, to the conversation.
Every member of the family is expect
ed to do his best to make the meal q
really happy occasion. There is a sort
of rivalry to see who can be the most
entertaining or contribute the spiciest
hits of conversation. There is no indi.
cation of dyspepsia in this family, be.
cause every one is trained to laugh and
be happy, and laughter is fatal enc.
my of digestion.
The etiquette of the table is also
strictly observed Every member Of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always to be mindful Of
others rights. Kindness seems to be
practiced for the joy of it, not for the
sake of creating the good impression
on friends or acquaintances. There ID
in this home an air of peculiar refine
ment which is very charming. The chill
dren are early taught to greet callers
and guests cordially, heartily, in real
southern, hospitable fashion, and to
make them feel that they arc very well
come. They are Taught to make one
feel comfortable and at home, so that
there will be no signs of restraint.

THE auNN1soN TUNNEL

The celebration of the glorious
Fourth by puncturing the mountain aud
bringing together the two headings Of
the great Gunnison tunnel is an achiev-
ment that should not be passed lightly
by. 1t is the goal looked forward to
for years by hundreds of families who
have settled on tracts of Uncle Sam 3
domain on which they have not vet
been able to raise a crop.
They have simply waited more or
less patiently in anticipation of this
great event. Some of them have en-.
dured some hardship. They have
economical on an altogether too slen-
der purse. They have not gone hun
cry but they have-well, they have
economical. They have grown weary
in waiting. The yhave counted the
The Glenwood post., 1909-07-10

days, with not too much patience, IN
anticipation of the day when the two
headings of this great project should
lie brought together in the hope that
soon thereafter there should be turned
on their rich but arid land the life
giving stream which should transform
it from desert into the garden which
they knew it was capable of becoming.
The long expected has now been
brought to pass but the ranchmen must
still retain their patience There is
much work yet to do and it will be
many months before the big tunnel is
completed, the lateral bitches put in
place and the splendid Uncompaghre
valley moistened and made to yield
an abundant harvest. But that time
is coming and the meeting in the cen
ter of the two crews of workmen is a
welcome event and fitting precursor
of that greater day soon to come when
Uncle Sam shall write "finis' on the
Gunnison tunnel project and turn the
plant over to the men who have wait
ed so long for this achievement and
who will gladly reimburse beneicent
government for its interest in their
behalf.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES

The dispute in the senate among Mr..
Bailey, Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Mooney and
other democratic leaders as to the
binding character of party pledges was
an amazing demonstration of the levity
with which democratic platforms are
treated by those who make them and
are supposed to carry them into effect.
According to the interesting consensus
of opinion which developed, the demo
cratic party's official professions should
always be taken with liberal pinch of
salt They need not embarrass any
statesman who finds it convenient to
repudiate them when they clash with
his own opinions or interests. Mr.. Bal
ley says that he subscribed under pro
test and with large mental reservations
to the tariff theories of the Mills Nor
rison- Cleveland. Wilson school. He
ayows that he considered those theories
were bats for votes of New England
and elsewhere, and always intended to
force their abandonment when he and
democrats like him came into power.
To show that he was not alone in pre-
ferring his own Judgment to that of the
party, he accuses even its peerless lead
er in three national campaigns, who is
now mildly outraged by the betrayal OF
the Denver platform, with similar in
fidelity to the democratic party's sol
edge pledge once upon time to repeal
the law taxing the circulation Of bank
notes by the state banks.
10 make a political promise and
break it, say the experts who discussed
the subject is a venal offense on the
mart of n democratic statesman. Jove
laughs as genially at such perjury as he
does at lovers oaths. Mr.. Bailey ar
CUES that platform is binding only
when it doesn't go into details. But
it is evident that if it doesn't go into
details it cannot be any more binding;
for every democrat can then interpret
it out of his own unrestrained and
abundant imagination. Thus, if we fol
low Mr.. Bailey's line of reasoning,
there were good democrats who were
justified in repudisting the famous
declaration in favor Of freq
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the

shall not consent to the taking of one

entirely arid may be well watered to
the end that that section, rich in posi-
bilities may contribute its share toward

THAT SUPREME COURT DEc1s1oN

The anti tisaloon people have scored a
great victory in the decision handel
down last Tuesday by democratic s,,-
preme court which completely upholds
the constitutionality of the anti-saloon
act passed two years ago by republi-
can legislature and signed by Cover
nor Buchtel.
Not only do the supreme Judges
unanimously declare for the constitu-
tionality of the act but the decision goes
further and construes the law to mean
that the larger unit must govern in
local elections, as to the "drys' only.
That is to say, ward which votes
wet may still contain within its
boundaries a ''dry" precinct but if
a ward votes dry there can be no wet
precincts in that territory.
The saloon men claim this is an un-
to work both ways and that this de
cision decidedly favors the "drys,
a statement which the judges practi-
cally admit although they justify their
action by the claim that the law was
passed for the sole purpose of making
dry territory and not with view of
making wet territory, practically every
portion of the state being already wet
prior to the passage of this act. They
also hold that the liquor business has
no legal or common law rights since
it is moral injury to society and an
outlaw business and they claim that no
law granting the people the right to
control the traffic would be unconsti
tutional.
The judges went even further than
this and declared that under our con
stitution and statutes the Legislature
may, if it chooses, enact a state pro
hibition law without submitting the
matter to the people by way of con
stitutional amendment.
The decision is sweeping one and
taken in connection with the Elks
club decision, recently made, certainly
drives the liquor interests mighty close
to the wall and indicates that, so far
as Colorado courts go, the booze busi-
ness must hereafter expect but scapt
consid deration.

THIS WEEK the people of Denver
are hearing and those over the state
are reading much concerning education
and many queer or at least unusual
ideas have been advanced by those who
have addressed the National Educa-
tional association. Some have declar-
ed that the entire system is wrong
while all have admitted that there is
offer one solution and some another
and yet the question remains unsettled.
The real OBJ iect and aim of ducat on
s. AID be TO fit men az. w'mcn for
practical lives of usefulness but of
course just how best to attain that end
still furnishes abundant opportunity v
for debate and will perhaps continue
to do so while the human mind is Of
different construction in different indi-
viduals The Post. however, has little
sympathy with the critical, pessimistic
wailings as expressed by Bishop Matt
and Dean II. Martin Hart, two excel
lent gentlemen who notwithstanding
their many commendable qualities, have
Travelled so long in ecclesiastical ruts
that they seem not able to understand
or fully comprehend the great work be
ing done along educational lines. #
the teachers are to go outside of their
profession for suggestions, and thie
they should do, let them call on Judge
Ben Lindsey who has had opportunity
to study and test the practical needs
of boys and girls as has no other per

United States.

with that disreputable whelp, that
wart upon the face of the earth, that

is certain that they emanate from n
black heart with cowardly makeup
behind it and 1t is generally true that
those who berate others, usually their
betters, in black hand letters are IN
most cases taking an inventory of
their own sins. There may be isolated
cases where the anonymous letter writ

the proper spirit and an honest heart a
greater kindness may be done without

THE POST has repeatedly suggested
that some steps should be taken to wa
ter over two thousand acres of arid
mesa land-the very best of fruit land
in the neighborhood of Antlers and
Silt. We want here and again to re.
new that suggestion and in doing SO
will say that our interest in this mat
ter is in no way private or personal
but the general interest which every
good citizen should feel in the develop,
ment of a rich portion of his county
and the conversion of the same from
desolate, arid tract to one rich with
grains and lucious fruits, such as we
know that country capable of produc
ing. But great as is our interest in this
matter, we do not want such condi-
tion brought about to the detriment OF
the land which is now partially irrigat-
ed nor at the cost or disadvantage Of

which these men were convicted, can

ratio Of is to l. They rightly refused
to be bound by too definite math"-
matical ratio, Just as Mr.. Bailey alb
hors the idea that national platform
should mention any particular article
as deserving a place on the free list.
That is intellectual peonage not to be
endured by any true disciple of Jeffer-
son and Jackson. The Denver platform
of 1908 would have been sustained by
all true democrats if it hadn't perverse-
ly suggested taking the duty off lum-
Der. The free silver coinage platforms
of 1896 and 1900 would never have
caused a sehism in the democratic party
if they had not indiscreetly tried to fix
coinage ratio between gold and silver
instead of declaring in favor of plenty
of coinage of all suitable metals, leav'
ing the democratic leaders in congress
to work out the details.
Why should democratic statesman
be tied down to anythingH 1t is only
labor lost TO try to forge platform
shackles for him which will hold. The
South Carolina democrats made such
an effort some time ago. They com,
