MEANS MUCH TO GREELEY

The Tribune was not bluffing last
week when 1t stated that the Union
Pacific had something up it's sleeve
that would he greater surprise to
the people OF Greeley than any of
the improvements so far started in
this vicinity.
That the Union Pacific intends to
construct a steel plant and rolling
mill in Greeley has been known to a
few here for the past two weeks,
but they refused to give out the in
formation until the exact site was Sc
lected for the works.
The exact location is still conjec.
ture, but rumor has it that lanG
has been purchased for that purpose
on the Delta or between here and
Evans.
This means the investment OF mil
lions for Greeley and the influx of At
least 1000 workmen. That number
OF workmen means the same number
of homes and an increase of ten
thousand population.
1t is said that one of the greatest
factors that actuated Hartman in Sc
lecting Greeley for the location OF
the big plant was the reputation OF
Greeley for temperance and thrift.
Liquor and labor troubles are the
curse of big cities and all manufac-
turing industries seek small places
wherever they can find adequate rail-
| road facilities.
With the exception of handful oil
has beens" this will be joyful news
for the people of Greeley, and rea
estate has taken another jump.

THE LATE MIR. CARVER

Tho Tribune manager having ask
ed me. in view of my long and inti-
mate acquaintance and business as
sociation with Mr.. Carver to supple
n,snt the brief obituary published
on Monday last, with any additional
data which | might possess or be
able to obtain, | cheerfully comply.
As was well known, Il. J. Carver was
an Englishman by birth. He was
born and reared in Norwich, Eng
land, and he obtained classical edu-
cation although | am unable to state
in what institution of learning. He
came to the United States in 1857
or 1858, and having already learned
the printers trade he very soon after
his arrival in this country entered
upon long term of service with the
New York Tribune under Horace
Greeleys management. His parents
followed him to this country in 1855
and settled in Long Island, where his
father died in 1868.
In the fall of 1871 Mr.. Carver,
having been one of the original stock
holders in the Union Colony, came
here with his mother and immediate
ly took a position on the Greeley
Tribune, which had been established
in October of the previous year, and |
with this paper he was employed in |
various capacities from compositor, |
job foreman, and proofreader to
principal owner for more than thirty
years. and until the property passed
70 the present proprietors.
In May, 1890, some OF the liberal
republicans of the place becoming
with the attitude OF the
party on various national and local
issues consulted together with the re-
suit that Mr. Horace G. Clark and
myself organized stock company
and reorganized the paper with Mr.
Carver as manager of the new insti-
tuition and owner of fifty-one shares
of its stock out of the hundred. AS !
is also well known. I became the |
editor of the paper upon its reor-
iy1a 4 |
with Mr.. Carver for the succeeding
EN- years in that capacity
Mr. Carver was a quiet, dignified
gentleman of the old school, and
through all the years of his active
ife in the west he never assimilated
,r adopted its noisy, exaggerating
Methods of thought, language or spir-
t. Born on the frontier myself / |
I'm the more pleased for that reason
o say of Mr. Carver what | cannot
say OF any other man | ever knew,
that in intimate, social or business
relations with him extending over a
period of more than thirty years,
never heard him use vulgar language
or utter an oath or an unkind word
to friend or foe. He was honest and
upright in all his dealings, and thor
oughly conscientious in his ideas of
conduct and duty towards his fell
lows; and yet kindly and deferential
in speech and manner to others. he
was withal, a typical Johnny Bull in
obstinacy when he finally made up
his mind as to what was proper and
right. Although reserved in man

KNOWS BUT TWO RELIGIOUS MEN
Declaration of a New York Pastor
Astonishes His CONGREGATION.

New York, Nov. 24.-The Rev. Dr.
Haywood, pastor of the well to do
Collegiate Baptist church of the Cove
nant, astonished his congregation by
a declaration concerning what rich
men should do.
"The intellectual gymnastics" said
DR.. Haywood, "of the average New
York preacher when confronted with
the text, 1T is easier for camel to
60 through the eye of needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom
of heaven are pitiable.
II have known but two religious
men in my life. One is dead, and the
other is on the Bowery. He has given
millions to the poor and he lives the
life of day laborer. There is stamp
ed on the face of j. Eads How, some
times called the millionaire hobo, more
worldly wisdom, more saintliness, than
any other face l ever saw.
Il am perhaps the largest property
holder here tonight, but I deny the
right of any man to exploit the land
while there are hungry stomachs to
fill. l let my property to tenants
for quite as little as will pay taxes
and the expenses of one girl whom
l am putting through college"

MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH
Chicago Man Minus His "Innards'
Will Give Big Feed.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-There lives in
Chicago today man VINO will cele-
brate his fiftieth birthday with din
ner that would throw an ordinary
stomach into commissions.
He is DR.. L. Frank Reyes and his
excuse for gastronomic independence
lies in the fact that he has no stom-
ach.
1t was three years ago when DR..
Reyes, affected with structure of the
pyloris, decided to undergo the opera
ton, which apparently was the only
way of saving his life.
He went to the German hospital in
Philadelphia, where the operation was
performed by DR.. John B. Beaver, VINO
was the guest of honor at a dinner
last February given by ll6 surgeons
whose appendices he had removed.
After the operation he was kept in
the hospital for three weeks on a diet
of gingerbread and milk and this con-
stituted most of his food for the sub
sequent year. After that, however, he
picked up rapidly.
On his return to Chicago a few
weeks ago he took up his old practice
and now spends most Of the day in
his office.

WILL NOT DEBATE WITH DICKIE
Mayor Rose Is Sore at the Treat
ment He Has Received.

Milwaukee, Nov. 22.-Mayor Rose
said last night that he would engage
in no more liquor debates with DR..
Samuel A. Dickie of Albion college
Michigan. He says that his opponent
in two debates treated him unfairly
and assigns specific charges. The mayor
said:
81 have about concluded that I do
not care to have anything more to do
with DR.. Dickie. He has been utterly
unfair in every relation and has done
anything but reflect credit upon the
profession he makes.
"The first debate was made in re-
spouse to my challenge for one debate
He claimed the right to open and close
the discussion because he was the
challenged party and l granted it.
"The proposition for more debates
came from his side and he was the
challenger, but when it came to ar
range for the second debate, virtually
upon his challenge, he refused to grant
to me what he claimed for himself
when the conditions were reversed

personal and made himself offensive

FIGHT CONTINUOUS SESSION.
Kansas School Teachers Do Not Lii
the Plan of Prof. Ross.

Topeka, Kans., Nov. 23-Kansas
school teachers and students are up
in arms against the proposal of Profess
sor E. A. Ross, of the University of
Wisconsin, made in recent address at
the University of Kansas, for con-
tinuous schools. The subject has
aroused great deal of comment in
Kansas, most of it adverse. Professor
Ross declared that school vacations
are relic of pioneer days and that
children should attend school twelve
months in the year. The fact that in
the early days children were needed to
help with the crops is cited by Pro-
fessor Ross as the reason for the orig
inal vacation. Now that this neces-
sity has passed he advocates contin-
uous school term, with lighter work
during the summer.

LET THE LAW REMAIN INTACT
Act to Compel the Boys and Girls
to Go to School

|
| Duluth Tribune: According to
few of the country press, the farm
ers of this state are sup in arms
against the present compulsory edu-
cation law This may be true of a
minority of the farming population
but it cannot be true of the majority
or the tendency would not be SO
, strongly toward nine months school
terms in the rural districts.
If the farmers really were opos-
ed in the mass to the law, they have
the remedy in their own hands. There
is no law to compel them to have
more than FIVE months schools, which
could be timed so as to leave their
children free to help on the farm at
harvest and corn husking.
But the farmers, as a rule, do not
want this. They want the full term,
first grade schools, with all the facil-
tiles and aids of the city schools, for
their children. They do not oppose
the compulsory education law, and
it does not have to be called into
force to compel them to keep their
children in the schools.
There doubtless are a few so mar
row, so selfish and so unprogressive
as to wish to sacrifice their sons and
daughters rather than to hire a man
or buy a corn husker. There are
some others SO poor as to really need
their children's help, but the law
provides for these cases.
As matter of fact, the law is by
no means SO great q hardship to the
farmers as the city wage-eaners who
work at common labor. These are not
, sure of roof to cover them and food
to eat; the farmer is.
These have seen butter, flour, pork
and all the staple food of the poor
man become almost luxuries. They
have to pay this increase, of which
the farmer gets the benefit No one
familiar with both the poor city home
and the poor farm home, can fail to
acknowledge the greater need of the
former.
1t is exactly such an attitude to.
ward their boys as these newspapers
would have us believe in general,
that drives them from the farm. 1t
lis this denial of school advantages,
the compulsory grind of long hours
at hard work, this deadly routine
in contrast to the variety of the city,
this failure to see that child's mus
cles are not iron, and that all edo"
without any appreciation or knowl-
edge of "why" and show" of things
is but stupid drudgery-it is this
that sickens the child heart and
makes him hate the farm.
To change this law, that the farm
er may keep his children at work,
when, above all other children, they
should be at school, would be to put
the state back generation and
weaken it at the source of it's great
est strength.

MRS. SNOWDENl TURNED DOWN
Suffragette Not Permitted to See the

Washington, Nov. 23.-Mrs. Phillip
Snowden, wife OF a liberal member OF
the British parliament and a noted
suffragette, tried to see President Taft
yesterday. She failed. Protesting that
she does not belong to- the militant
branch of the organization that has

Mrs. Snowden left the White House

Mrs. Snowden called at the White
House today, in company with Repre-
sentative David j. Foster of Vermont
and his daughter, Miss Mabel Foster
who is president of the College Equal

The party was met at the door by
the vigilant guardians of the president
who were promptly informed that Mrs
Snowden was an English suffragette.

Mrs. Snowden was something of &
disappointment to the members of the
women's suffrage movement here. Ii
a lecture tonight at the Masonic Tenn
pie she declared that American wOmeI
could not entertain the movement seri
ously. This, she explained, was, by
reason of the fact that there are some
100000 men more than women il
this country, the women here art
treated SO well that they fail to ap
preciate their political enslavery. IL
