THE OBSERVER ExposrULATEs
Revival Of Patriotism. Great Year for
Sundays. Etc.

There is a refreshing revival of SEN
timent in favor of an old-time Fourth.
From many cities in all parts OF the
country comes the report that an old
fashioned celebration has been planned.
When we remember the many victims
of the deadly cannon cracker and the
toy pistol we ought to use whatever IN
fiuence we have to direct the minds OF
the boys into other channels and tow
ard better methods of having good
time. - After all, isn't small expio-
sion as funny" as a louder one after
the sound has died away?
What is memory? Can we never,
never forget things we do not want to
remember And will the pleasures, as
well as the sorroWs, the gladness as
well as the griefs Of bygone days come
back TO us in after years? We talk as
if having what we call good mem
DRY" must be very great blessing;
but is it always? Have we not all done
and said things we would prefer to for
get if we could rather than be compell-
ed to remember them every little while
afterward, though long past for many
days. . And yet my humble opinion is
that memories are far more apt to be
pleasurable than painful The love of
our old-time friends, the fayors they
have show us in ever so many little ten
DERBY considerate ways, how blcssedly
sweet and helpful all such memories
must ever be to every honest heart.
This is a great year for Sundays.
Nearly all the big holidays fall on that
day of the week, making the day fol
lowing sort of stepmother of the
event. Then another peculiar fact is
the choice of Sundays for rain. 1t rain
ed last Sunday and the Sunday before
ard if you stop to think about it you
will have to scratch your head twice
before you can recall a Sunday in the
past six weeks or two months when it
did not rain. A little rain now and
then is relished by the best of men un-
less it comes on a Sunday when they
have planned on "A picnic or chase in
the country for an automobile ride. AT
the time of building King Solomon's
temple it only rained nights and every
body had good time either going fish
ing or witnessing ball game. AS it
is now the only one to rejoice is the
man who manipulates the street sprink-
Ter as he never fOrgets the motto 1.-THE
more rain the more rest.

QUESTIONS ASKED BY RAVEN RANCHER

have tried in vain to shake the reputa-
tion.
d. Did Divilbiss arrest the man who
is in the county Jail and charged with
being friend of the robbers?
Ans. John Richardson is the man
who caught Wilson, the man you refer
to. Another citizen captured the Swede
who gave the officers bum steer, bu.
ne was turned loose No one knows
just why he was released.
I. Don't you think Glenwood an
ideal place for county high schooll
Ans. We decline to answer. Our
answer to the last question has already
been printed in these columns and
stands unshaken by the authorities who
made weak and sickly effort to deny
it but failed absolutely.

Editor Glenwood Post,
Dear Sir:-My neighbors have been
asking me to write to you asking you
a few questions. Your account of the
bank robbery was good, but there are
few things that we want further in
formation on and hope you can give it
to us. Please answer the following
questions if you can:
/. How close was Divilbiss when he
shot at them in Glenwood?
Answer: 1t was less than 200 feet
He fred two shots and missed both
times.
2. Did he ever get any closer to
them?
Ans. Not to our knowledge. We
are told that he went up Graveyard hill
and came down again. while the rob
bers went south and were drawing
away from him all the time.
8. Did anyone camp on the trail Of
the robbers that night that they might
be ready to follow it at daylight next
morning?
Ans. We are told that everyone left
the place. 1t is known that none of the
officers were near the scene of the
horse killing within an hour after the
robbers jumpeo behind tree.
4. Was Divilbiss made sheriff be
cause he deserved reward for bravery
in facing that saloon man a few weeks
ago and the robbers last week?
Ans. AS we have seen no symptoms
of bravery on the part of Sheriff Divil
bliss, we judge that such promotion was
not made because of bravery. We are
told that Rifle and Glenwood democrats
pooled and said Divilbiss must be made
sheriff and Tom Howard undersherif
Howard is not very well known over
the county and for your information
will say that he was one of the two
councilmen who thought nothing should
be done by the Glenwood council to
Pat O'Neil for defying the officers whom
they wanted to see if he was running
a "crookei" or "straight' roulette
wheel some weeks ago.
s. Please tell us just what was cap
tured by the officers in their chase
after the robbers.
Ans. A dead horse, shot in the bat
tie; Al caliber revolver, couple Of
cans Of pork and beans and rsputa
tion that has disgusted everyone il
Glenwood Springs. They still hold tn
pork and beans, and up to date the.

Editor Glenwood Post,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dear Sir:-During your city cam
paign of last spring, you devoted a
great deal of your space in telling your
readers of the "deplorable' conditions
in Glenwood, the county seat of our
county. l freely confess tliat at that
time I, perhaps like others, doubted
that such conditions as you mentioned
existed in your town, and 1 may well
say, Our town, for every citizen of the
county has an interest in the capital of
our county.
i remember one conversation between
myself and one or two of my neighbors
believed as l did, while the other, who
seemed just as positive that you were
telling the truth, stood pat and said
Dickson is right in what he says and
unless there is wholesale cleaning in
Glenwood something will happen that
will make them the laughing stock of
the statc.'
Matters went along and your election
was held and the votes counted. Yon
had lost in your fight and then I felt
more than ever positive that you lad
been mistaken and just to satisfy my
self, made a special trip to Glenwood
and before | had been there two hours,
began to waver in my opinion Of
Glenwood and her morality. OF COURSE
l said nothing, but l did some tall
thinking and saw enough to convince
me that you We're not only half right
but were right from start to finish.
But, let MS see if events since your
election have proven what you and one
of my neighbors said last spring.
First of Importance. we read of Pat
rick o Neil of the Silver Club standing
off the officers of the county and Glen
wood. And Pat seems to have made
good, for all we ever heard of being
done to him was Il paltry fine of $40
and Il refusal to grant him a liquor
license for week or two. If Pat re-
ceived any other punishment from eiths
er county, city or district courts, will
you tell your readers?
Nothing more was done to Mr..
O'Neil and he is still running the Silver
Club as if nothing had happened at
all.-Editor.)
The story of O'Neil and the officers
became known all ov,~ the country,

SHERIFF 'HEz' POTTER HERE

Sheriff "Hez'' Potter of La Junta
arrived in Glenwood Monday morning
of this week and returned Tuesday
morning with a prisoner wanted in
Rocky Ford. Mr.. Potter made the fol
lowing statement regarding his prison
er: ''He is Fl. R. Baldwin of Rocky
Ford and is wanted on the charge of
collecting about eighty dollars for the
man he worked for and leaving the
country with it. He was working for
j. Z. O'Connor and this gentleman has
had him arrested ! learned that Bald
win was headed this way and that he
would probably seek work near Car.
bondale. ] located him and then sent
word to the Garfield county officers to
pick him up and hold him for me.''
While here Sheriff Potter aecompa-
MED party over the trail of the bank
robbers from the city to the ditch near
the pest house. He was unable to give
any solution as to why the robbers
should escape when the city marshal
had them under his thumb on top of
the hill. He also thought the failure
of the officers to deliver the goods
would probably have some influence in
the next campaign.

Not So Easy to Get Supplies.

1t will not be such an easy matter
for the members of the Kansas leg
islature to run down or send down to
the office Of the secretary of state
and get supplies hereafter. Secretary
of State Denton was disguised with
the methods followed by some mem
bers last session and some time ago
asked the attorney general for an
opinion as to the duties of the secre-
tary of state in the matter. In an
opinion rendered recently, Attorney
General Jackson holds that Denton has
the authority to require the approval
of the presidest of the senate or the
speaker of the house on every requi-
sition. Denton will exercise this au-
thority during the present session.
Heretofore members have gone to the
source of supply and taken almost any
thing they wanted. That will not be
the rule this session.

DoHey Elects Negro Editor.

There was a little side show during
a recent session of the house which
most of the members missed. Nick
Chiles, the negro editor of the Topeka
Plaindealer, made a formal call on
Speaker Dolley in the latter's private
office. He informed DoIley that he
represented the negroes of the state
and that they were dissatisfied with
the distribution of patronage. Dolley
in turn is said to have informed Chiles
that he did not believe he represented
any one. He stated that the negro
vote of the state represented only
about per cent of the total vote, and
that the positions given to the negroes
represented about Is per cent of all
the positions. There were a few more
exchanges of opinions before Dolley
ordered Chiles out of his office and
assisted him to obey the order. Chiles
made no objection to moving out. In
fact after he mad taken one look at
the enraged speaker he appeared glad
to go.
Governor Stubs realizes that the old
soldiers preference law is sham and
it is said that he is going to do his
part toward giving the old soldier what
is coming to him in the way of ap-
pointments wherever it is possible.
