POOR 10"
BE SAVED
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

10y United Press Leased Wire.)
PUEBLO, Col, Sept. 26.-After a
tribute to Colorado and its citizens,
Ex-Governor Adams said:
After one hundred years given
to cutting their own forests, cor.
railing their water power and de-
spelling their coal treasures, our
eastern brothers are especially Wig
orous in demanding that the ma
tional government stop the waste
and vandalism of the west. The
survival of the old Yankee spirit
is assured. Reading Romola and
their Bible, they prayed that Poor
Lo' might be saved from the rapac-
ity and cruelty of the frontiersman.
$50 far the battle has waged
around the standards of Pinchot
and Ballinger. Both are no doubt
honest and each means the best,
but prejudices and partisanship
have clouded the issues between
them-their controversy has taken
on the cOlors of personal and po-
litical ruction. When we think Of
the two statesmen, Taft or 'Roose-
welt rather than conservation
springs to our mind. So confused
has public knowledge become that
question whether half the people
Of the country have any clear con-
ception Of the difference between
'Pinchotism' and 'Ballingerism.'

COUNTY JAIL CONDITIONS

Conditions in the county Jail were

DR.. Webb was in the audience at

storm of denunciation got so strong
that he left before Sister Bilkiss
had more than unloosened her pent
up energy and feelings.
She referred to the cases Of
Hawkinberry and Bozell, who died
in the county Jail, with practically
no attention. She blamed the
county physician and prison off,
