COLORADO UNCERTAIN

The political history of Colorado
for the past twenty years is an i'm
pressive demonstration Of the fact
that Colorado voters cannot be
held to party lines or to party
names.
In 1883 the state gave a repub-
lican president 13,D7 plurality.
Four years later it swung to the
fusion-populist candidate with a
plurality of 5000. In 1896 the
plurality for Bryan was $4,000
In 1904 Colorado gave Roosevelt a
plurality of 5000. Four yea 9
later it was in the democratic COL
umn by 5000.
The people of Colorado vote for
what they want, regardless Of party
names.-Pueblo Chieftain.

VARIETIES OF MILO TO GROW

In growing milo it is essential
to get the right variety to start
with. There are two types of milo
on the market-the yellow and the
white. Yellow milo is superior to
white milo. There are quite a
number of varieties of the yellow
milo. These vary in height from
two feet to fifteen feet. The ex-
tremely dwarf and the extremely
tall forms should be avoided.
Those variiies which grow to n
height of from four to six feet,
under ordinary conditions, are
preferable. The extremely dwarf
sorts do not yield well enough.
The tall varieties mostly come from
the south, consequently, they are
late maturing and less drouth re-
sistant than those which grow TO n
medium height. Home grown
seed is preferable whenever it can
b. obtained.

excellent vaudeville acts for the four
theatres controlled by the company,
many of which will be produced on
the local stage during the winter.
Since the summer policy OF the BIZ

vogue a month and half ago,
crowds have nightly thronged the

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Evening News:
! saw the story in the NEWS last
Wednesday of Mr.. Cutter bringing
a woman to the city in badly dam
aged condition from the way she was
handled in capturing her in a thiev-
ing expedition. she was on Mr..
Cutters farm. Now / see she Is go
ing to sue for damages. / don't
know what the outcome OF the suit
may be, but ! do know that some
thing must be done to stop the
thieving of these female bandits
from the farmers.
1t Is all right to send up a howl
and condemnation of Mr.. Cutter, but
let her and a hord of others like her
walk into Mr.. City Mans yard and
walk off with a part Of his years
earnings that he has put by to feed
and warm his own family with next
winter, and the next day or the day
after they or another lot like them
come back and load up again, and
keep it up day after day, week after
week, q continual stream carrying
away his provisions, would he use
his fist on one of them ii he got near
enough? Well just let him face a
condition of that kind and see. You
know the farmer has no policeman
passing his door every few minutes
and these women know 1t too and
act accordingly. Now what is the
farmer to do. He must pay tax and
he has no protection and If, in des-
peration, and to save his own family
from want, he Is forced to fight, he
is derided for striking a woman.
Now know just the position the
farmer is in and l know if the steal
ing of these female marauders is not
stopped soon, shot guns will have to
be used instead of fists if the farm
er and his family are to keep from
being starved to death so cheap la
Dor can live.

Whether you drive a single horse or

but in driving a pair see to It that
each horse does his share Of the work
and no more. A pair of horses, more

get in the habit Of wandering over the
road. To drive well you must keep
your eye and your mind on the horse.
Watch his ears. They viii be pricked

lunches his back a little. When you
observe any Of these Indications speak
to him sharply and pull up his head.
