Mr.. Roosevelt's Alleged Exploits.

There is reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out
In a general way the program which
WAS announced before he departed
with his scientific associates. 1t is
to be hoped. however, that no intelli-
gent American reader will for a mo-
ment suppose that we are having
authentic reports from day to day OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's movements and ad-
ventures.
There was just one thing Mr.. Roo
sevelt asked of the American press
before his departure, and that was
that he be allowed Ms a private citi-
zen to proceed with his African plans
without being followed, spied upon
or reported. All newspaper men
know that the lurid tales which have
been daily served up-and which
have chronicIed with much detail
the slaughtering Of countless lions,
tigers, rhinos, hippos and other ami
mails, of both sexes and all ages-are
sheer inventions. Never were fakes
more transparent or more impudent.
Mr.. Roosevelt's hunting is far away
from the shaded haunts of the egentle-
men of the press who prepare these
daily romances, and nobody knows
that this is true so well as do the
managers of our respected newspa-
pers who are displaying these tales
of shambles and gore under first-page
headlines every morning, and illus
trating them with unnumbered car
toons. Even on his later Western
hunting trips Mr.. Roosevelt had the
doubtful benefit of "A similar response
on the part of All enterprising press
to supposed public demand.
We shall have to wait good while
before we get any trustworthy news
about Mr.. Roosevelt's experiences In
the Dark Continent. - From 1.-The
Progress of the World" in the Amer
lean Review of Reviews for June.

R. H. Taylor. dentist, Meeker.

We censured Governor Shafroth
for appointing NJ. J. McCarty, II
Teller county Republican, rs deputy
metalliferous mine inspector, and
will do 80 again should the occasion
require. He WAS made governor by
the grace of the Democratic state or
ganizatiOn, and when it came to this
appointment should have at least
shown courtesy enough to the party
not to appoint man who, If all
claims are true, is Numerically op-
posed to every principal of the party.
The Teller county Democracy, which
stood by Governor Shafroth, were al
so slapped in the face and their wish
es not only disregarded, but spurned
and ignored, yet 1t is one Of the larg-
est and most important metalliferOus
mine districts in Golorado.-Florence

A Move Which Will
Scare Up Politicians

Under the above heading our tall
ented contemporary, Brother Carlin,
OF the Rifle Telegram, about covers
prevailing opinion in the following,
taken from. II late issue of his read
able paper:
"a state wide movement to secure
the enactment of constitutional
amendment providing for the initia-
tive and referendum was inaugur.-
ted in Denver last Saturday night by
men prominent in the states affairs.
The new organization will first at
tempt to gain it's ends by working
through the two existing parties, but
II that shall fail, an attempt will fol-
low to organize II new state party to
accomplish the purpose. This or
ganization is different from the Di-
rect Primary League, but results of
its successful work would doubtless
accomplish much for the end the
latter organization has in view, be-
side giving the people of Colorado q
chance to wipe graft and trickery off
the political slate and keep it wiped
off. The failure of the last legisla-
ture to enact promised legislation is
responsible for the formation Of the
new organization, and unless the old
parties take decisive action toward
getting the desired constitutional
amendment in shape to be voted on
by the people there is little doubt
that new state party, of undoubted
strength until its work is done, will
arise. When this shall occur its
first work will of II certainty be di-
rected toward the burial of some pol
iticians who are already dead but
unable to realize the fact.
"There is absolutely no reason
why referendum law should not be
IN force in Colorado and in every
other state in the union, inasmuch rs
such measure only guarantees what
was intended when the republic was
founded and the constitution adopted
that the people should rule.
sit is becoming every year more
generally recognized, under the pres
ent political system, that n mans po-
litical influence can be pretty accu-
rately gauged by the number. OF dol
lars he possesses or over which he
may exert control, and SO long rs
this remains true there can be no
government in fact by the people,
and the interests OF the poor man
will not receive the same careful at
tentiOn which is given the interests
of the man of means. This may with
perfect candor be said to be the fault
of the latter class of men themselves.
but because they have not the natu-
raj abilities which have given riches
and station to another class Is no rea-
small they may be, should not be
given that equal attention which the
government is supposed to bestow
upon the individual but does not.
Under the present political system it
seems to be taken for granted that
because u man is talented in the way
Of accommodating money, he should be
granted more rights under the law
than the man who is not, even tho
".
