READ THE WANT ADS.

The people who watch and answer
want ads. are the most alert. the
most hustling, the most 'canny,' the
most practical folks to be found in
the whole city.
They are quick judges of chances
instantly scenting a bargain or elm
mating a doubtful offer. They know
locations and values in real estate
they know what things should cost,
no matter what sort OF things they
are. They are clear-visioned in con-
sidering business opportunity.
They have gained practical sen Sc
from contact with people who do
business through classified advertis-
ing They have learned business
poise, business insight.
The want ads have given them
a business seducation''--and no busi-
ness education is fully rounded that
does not include experience as an
answerer of want ads.
There is probably no portion of
the Greeley Tribune that is read so
much as its want ad column, and
it ia doubtful II any other one feature
is more valuable to subscribers.

WEDDING AT IAsALIE
Prominent Young People Of Peck

IaSalle SDeciaD

A beautiful wedding took place
at the Coffman ranch near LaSalle
at high noon Tuesday, Anna Flow
ers became the bride Of Jacob P.
CofYman. Both bride and groom are
the children of prosperous ranch
men, but as the Conman home Ia
the larger it was decided to have the
ceremony performed there.
There were seventy guests to Wit
ness the impressive service. The
wedding morch was played BY Mrs.
James Stewart and the oficiating
clergyman was Rev. Large of tn,
NJ. e. church at Platteville. The
bride was daintily gowned in a dress
Of cream wool and was attended BY
her sister, Miss May. Henry Bethel
acted aA best man.
A sumptuous dinner was served
after which the newly married peo-
PIE left on their honeymoon to points
OF interest in the state. The liz,
of wedding guests included friends
and relatives from Cripple Creek,

GEORGE HOUSTON FOR MAYOR.

George NJ. Houston has announced
his candidacy for mayor OF the city
of Greeley. We know Mr. Houston
we'll enough to know that ne would
not have done this had it not been
upon the earnest solicitation of d
number of substantial and influential
people of Greeley who have the well
fare of the city at heart. We know
this because Mr.. Houston is not d
seeker after office, but is willing
worker wherever the interests OF
Greeley or Weld county are con-
cerned. and we feel that he would
have been just as ready to accept
the nomination for the lowest as for
the highest office in the city had
his friends indicated to him where
he could help the ity by SO doing.
Mr.. Houston has shown remark
able business ability in his private
affairs and at a time in life when
most men are still trying to decide
upon a trade or career in life for
themselves he has already worked
out his plan in life and Is far upon
its course. From personal knowl-
edge of some of his ambitions We
can say that these are worthy and
that financial success is only Incl
dental. Should he become mayor Of
Greeley there is no doubt OF busi-
ness administration in SO far as the
mayor can control the situation.
We do not know who may be Mr.
Houston's opponent in the race, but
hope that he may be of somewha at
the same calibre that there may be
no mistake.
1t must not be forgotten either
that good government does not end
with the selection of a good mayor
but that candidates for aldermen ol
the right sort should either announce
themselves or be urged into Office
by their friends. The time for sucl
announcement Is already short, anc
something should be done by th'
friends of good government for thu
city to see that good men go on thu
council.

T. ROOSEVELT. EDITOR

Theodore Roosevelt. private citi-
zen. has become associate editor,
with DIR. Lyman Abbott. of The Out
look. 1t is probably fitting. and at
the same time a delicate compliment
to the modern newspaper. that the
initial editorial of the most popular
and one of the strongest men that
ever sat in the United States presi-
dental chair. in his new capacity,
should be upon the subject of jour
nalism.
To say nothing of the glowing triS-
utes that Mr.. Roosevelt pays DR.. Abb
bott as an editor. we will quote a
few passages from his article to
show what his idea of an honest
newspaper means:
Every owner. editor or reporter
of a conscientiously and ably con-
Quoted newspaper or periodical is
an asset OF real value to the whole
community 1t would be dificult
to overestimate the amount of good
which can be done by the men re-
sponsible for such a publication
responsible for its editorial columns
responsible for its news columns, re.
sponsible for its general policy. We
have many newspapers big and little
of this kind. (This in reference t..
honesty and fairness in everything
But we also have many that are en-
| nj n nf M
'During the last few years it ha.
become lamentably evident that Ger
tain daily newspapers, certain per
iodicals, are owned or controlled b,
men of vast wealth who have game,
their wealth in evil fashion, who de
sire to stife or twist the honest ex
preston of public opinion, and wht
find an instrument fit for their pur
pose in the guided and purchase,
mendacity of those who edit an,
write for such papers and peri
odicals."
The so-called yellow journalism
Mr. Roosevelt also excoria.es, bu
more particularly does he go afte
another kind of journalist OF whom
he says:
"a newspaper OF periodical whicl
avoids vulgar sensationalism, whic
takes and cultivates an interest II
serious matters, and things literary
artistic and scientific-which, il
short, appeals to people Of taste, IN
telligence and cultivation---may nc
ertheless do them grave harm. a

Editor The Tribune:-

Editor The Trioune:-
have noticed with . cynical sort
of amusement An item In your re-
port Of our city councils proceed
ings OF last week. refer to the
petition presented by some ten rep
resentatives Of the Greeley Canning
Factory company for . rebate OF
1.SO0, which was assessed against
the factory for the Ninth avenue
road; and this on the ground that
the $50 shareholders Of the canning
factory building would receive abso-
lutely no benefit when the concer Z.
was turned over to the Empsons.
and that the only object they. the
plaintiffs. had in bringing the fac
tory to Greeley was for the welfare
Of the city. But will the Tribune
allow a mere outsider to here inter-
ject q remark or two. and to sup.
pose q few cases which might pos
sibly bear on the subject directly or
not remotely.
Suppose. for instance, that when
the canning factory project was un-
der consideration. q proposition had
been made by the Empsons that a,
the end of some definite period they
would take over from these stock
holders. this property. and not only
pay all the principal involv d in the
original outlay. but the interest on
1t at the rate Of six per cent. I am
cnly supposing . case. mind you.
and that such were the facts.
OF course. do not underrate the
dement's which have and may grow
out of this enterprise. and especially
to us business men. but how about
the hundreds Of poorer people Of
the place who can barely live here
and educate their children and pay
their Just proportion Of the taxes. II
every species of real estate holdings
are equally assessed At their real
or proportionate value. Suppose
again that the proprietors of the
Opera House block should ask to
have half the taxes on their building
rebated to them because II was q
public blessing, which in some re-
spects 1t undoubtedly il, and be-
cause the revenue possible to be de-
rived from 1t would not equal that
from mortgages on good productive
farm property or city homes. Or
suppose Mr.. Camfeld should come
before the council and ask to have
half his tax on the hotel rebated on
the ground that his building was q
bensAt to the town and could not
te made to pay on the money invest
ed in the property like some of his
fhany ditch enterprises do. Now that
would look. would it not? ike ten
dency on the part OF our monayed "a
terests to shirk their share OF the
burden and impose 1t on those much
less able to bear it.
or course, we know that the great
Trinity corporation OF New York
City is exempted from taxation upon
millions and millions of its property
because it belongs. all OF 1t. to God ;
and also we know that many minis
ters of the Gospel expect free rides
on the railroads because they labor
in the Lords vineyard; but then we
have to draw the line somewhere.
and perhaps we had better draw 1t
on these supposed cases OF slightly
different character AZ to public benC-
fits conferred.
And now I am going to come at
the proposition on another basis.
