Commissioners Resolutions Re-
garding Deputy Hire

salary to the county clerk and recorder
of Elbert county, Colorado; and,
Whereas, should the incumbent OF
that office in said county devote his
time to the duties thereof he would,
except on rare occasions, be able to per-
form all the duties OF said office without
deputy or clerk; and,
Whereas, it is the purpose of the law
that public officials shall conduct their
offices with economy, and save to the
people whatever Of their earnings it is
possible to convey into the county treas
ury, the benefit of which is to be made
manifest in reduced tax levy; and,
Whereas, in the opinion OF the board
OF county commissioners of Elbert coun-
ty, Colorado, the sum of one hundred
dollars would pay for all the deputy and
clerical assistance which will be required
in the office OF the county clerk and
recorder for the year ending the Monday
preceding the second Tuesday in Jan
uary, A. ID. 1910.
Now, THEREFORE,, be it resolved by the
board of county commissioners OF Elbert
county, Colorado that there is hereby
appropriated the said sum OF one hun
dred dollars for deputy hire and other
clerical assistance in the office of county
clerk and recorder of said county for the
period above set forth, the said sum to

ties, or other clerical aid, in the perform
ance of the duties of his office for the

for that purpose, such excess shall in no
sense be charged against Elbert county,
and will not be allowed or paid.
Be it further resolved that the books

BOARD OF County COMMISSIONERS OF
ELBERT County, COLORADO.
The casting OF votes on all the above
resolutions was as follows:
For the resolutions. .Pauls
81 " ...... Brazelton
Against .... Brooks
Resolution as to whether the county
books be audited:
For. ........... Pauls
+" ................... Brazelton
Against. ..................- Brooks
We consider great praise is due the
commissioners for the manner and en-
ergy they have displayed in handling
the piled up business of the county
caused by the corrupt practices Of the
irregular board and its friends. The
contents OF this weeks issue Of the Trib-
une show the people of Ebert county
plainly why Olson, James, Brooks and
others fought Mr.. Pauls SO bitterly and
caused the county and commissioners
so much worry and expense.
1t appears that the rregulars and
their friends do not wish Elbert county
affairs to be run on economical princi-
pies, but still to continue that OF graft,
grab and greed.
III the subscribers of this paper have
any friends that wish to be put wise to
county affairs advise them to read The
Tribune and they will be adequately re-
paid by next election. as then they will
be able to discriminate as to who shall re-
ceive their vote.

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a dead-beat Criminals are de-
spised and abhored but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once so mean and so lit
tie in taking advantage of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against. dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is we'll established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out y, ork, and, of course, h% takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he inflicts on 9TH
ers But, that aside, he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move a good deal and peace of mind
he knows not Like other types of
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be.

Troubles Cured BY cutieura.

"When my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in

I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW

very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM

spring. I always used Cuticura Soap

heal it up. The last time it broke
