AN EASTERN IDEA

"When the time comes in my admin
istration as mayor of this city that
cannot stand firmly on the laws of my
city and state and must yield to the
Testing my city and must be guided
wholly and solely by their commands,
will resign and leave the office to
another. If I find that the officials
under me are negligent in their duties
and are catering to the wishes Of the
lawbreaking element. | will summarilv
dismiss that official and fill the vacancy
with man who is man and has the
good of the city Mt heart and will no.
enter into the lawbreaking. As long
as I am mayor of this city / will be the
MAYOR and will not bow the knee to
vice in any form. With that to guide
me and with that for the people of this
city TO use as n measure to see how
far short | fail of doing my duty, 7
abide the actions of the officials or this
city, and take my stand that all may
know where to find me.'
The above is taken from speech of
an eastern mayor who was called to ac.
count by the leaders of the iawbreaking
element for his activity in cleaning the
city of the same element. That mayor
was in deed and in truth mayor of his
city. He bowed the knee to no one that
did not obey the laws of his city anil
state He ruled that his city might be
made better.
How is it here in the west, the land
of liberality and defiance Of law and
court orders? Has Glenwood such
mayor as the above? Has Glenwood a
city marshal who will enforce the laws
of the city and see that vice is curtaile1
rather than increased? We leave the
answer to you.

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED


ferring to the efforts of some of the
people to bring about condition of
better things. to bring about some
semblance toward decency in Glenwooa
Springs spoke sneeringly of one of
these people by saying the man in
question had always in the past been
more or less addicted to drinking and
to mild forms of gambling in the So
looms and that suddenly he had faced
about and was now condemning the
very practices of which he had here
tofore been guilty.
Well, that is very natural or at
least very commendable. There is no
reason why man who has followed
the deceptive path of sin for years
should not some day wake up. about
face and repndate his past career.
Just because n man has been fool all
his life we don't know that he is
necessarily prevented from getting a
little sense in his later years. That
man should be complimented and not
condemned.
Then our informant went on to say
that all this present day trouble and
agitation was brought about because
so many people We're "sore' owing to
disappointment, political or otherwise
and then he turned to the editor and
said "'I know Won are sore and have
been since last election and Won We
been making trouble ever since that
time''
Now the question of whether we are
sore or whether we are not sore is of
very little consequence to the people
of Glenwood or any other place Tho
real question of interest is what we
have done for which we should he con.

and compromise his manhood in the
interest of "business This is the
real test of the whole affair and it is
begging the question to say that any
one is sore or that he is not sore.

saloons in Glenwood closed on Sunday.

LAW IN aLENWooD

Up in Glenwood where you can run
a brace game, sell policy slip and go
to sleep to the soft murmur of one of
Richardson and O'Neil's roulette
wheels, they have discovered some
manifest limitations to the law. In
other words the dear people of the
Springs town have had concrete ex-
hibtion of defiance to the law that
the Springs on the roll of arid Colora
do within the next two years.
Glenwood Springs has n population
of 2,lOO. sixteen saloons two gambling
joints, and handful of brothels. 1t
is the headquarters of onr whilom
friend. J. Richardson, Esq, and it holds
an election every two years. In Glen
wood the solemn citizens gather about
in a favored real estate Office and con
slider list of names. After anxious
consultation and considerable assaylng
if it is found that none of the men
proposed have ever expressed senti-
ments that might be considered ini-
mical to the interests of Johnny and
Pat, both crowds go their seperate
ways and nominate their choices. Then
the free and Independent "cits" do
their duty and ]. Richardson and allied
interests win. An election in Glen
wood is always a cinch for johnny.
He always wins for in Glenwood the
booze shops and the gambling joints
are still the corner stones of munici-
pal prosperity.

and the dives you II drive away the

ment he passed the limits of his own

tourists are not exactly of this class.
One young fool from st. Louis invad
ed O'Neil's Silver Club joint recently
and lost $4,000, which was doing well
for the tourists by hospitable Glenwood.
The fool decided that Pats wheel was
crooked and complained to the police.
He wanted chance to ascertain #
the game was on the square. Up start
three policemen and n sheriff to do
their bonden duty. Then they stopped.
At the top of the stairs stood Pat pro.
fanely announcing that II any officer
attempted to invade his rooms a few
new souls would be sizzling in hades
before morning. Which was not polite
of Pat towards the police and a mean
insinuation. However, Pat knows the
officers all very well. Up to date this
settled the matter The Silver Club
has not been raided, the gambling
joints are still gamboling, the wheels
and the bang of the electric piano still
floats across the river on the still and
hnlmy summer evening. Of course there
are ordinances against these things in
Glcnwood and, too, they are state laws.
But evidently the police of Glenwoo1
know where j. Richardson gets off with
the ordinances and as far as the state
laws are concerned, an interview with
the sheriff published in the Glenwod
Post, makes it apparent that he never
heard of them. In the meanwhile Glen
