Who IS TO BLAME FOR THIS?

The Starkville disaster is the second
horror of this kind in the coal district
near Trinidad this year. If there is
any fault on the part of the company
owning mines the present democratic
administration has had plenty of oppor-
tunity to investigate. If there is not
sufficient law to safeguard the lives
of the, men who go down into the pit,
the statcsmanlike Shafroth might have
included such laws in his call for the
'ruxtry" session. The loss of nearly a
hundred lives might have seemed to
justify the mention of some kind OF
measure for the protection Of men en-
gagged in this dangerous occupation, un-
less everything that human Ingenuity
can invent has already been odrerad
by statute.
If it has, the governor appoints the
mining inspectors; and it was the bust
ness of the inspector to see that there
were air shafts and curtains in accord
ance with the requirements of the
statutes it was his business to know
and report whether there was more
than one means of getting in and out
of the mines.
Then there was the iorlly Mr.. e. ".

Denver, Oct. IS Special to the
Post.) The extra session of the Sew
enteenth general assembly adjourned
sine die at 6:3O tonight after seventy
one days of more or less turbulent se'-
sion at cost of 500, 400
The session enacted seven laws, three
of which were appropriation laws to
pay their own salaries and expenses.
The other four We're an initiative aud
referendum constitutional amendment,
a primary law, a registration law, and
Il railroad law. Governor Shafroth
signed two of the appropriation bills
and vetoed one. He signed the con
stituti6nal amendment, also the pri-
mary law and the registration and
railroad bills.
The direct legislation amendment is
the only measure passed az promised.
The primary law carries a convention
feature and perpetuates the political
machine. The registration bill makes
possible repeating in its worst fea-
lures in elections in large cities, and
attorneys say the railroad bill limits
the control of the railroad commission
to dead freight in actual transit. They
say it does not have control over live
stock or perishable fruit in transit
neither does it have control over dead
freight in railroad warehouses, or
platforms or in cars not in motion
The platform democrats are demanding
of Governor Shafroth that he veto, MOI
only the railroad but the registration
bill as well.

After the governor and mine inspec

done their duty, they had at their com
mand the offices of the attorney gener-

Nobody was dying in Colorado for

The Garfield County Teachers Asso-
citation held an interesting session last
Saturday at the Glenwood high school
building. The meeting was presided
over by County Superintendent Ozburn
until she was called away in the after
noon to attend meeting of the county
high school board of which she is Il
member.
At the opening of the teachers meet
ing Mayor Drach was called upon to
deliver the address of welcome and this
he did in a few well chosen and practi-
cal remarks which were very much ap-
preciated by the teachers. He spoke
as follows
81 do not believe it is necessary to
welcome you, for | believe that you
know that you are as welcome as is pos
sible for people to be"
''It is always pleasure for any
section or city to have an aggregation
such as you meet in their midst. We
are always glad to have you come here
to deliberate ON the problems which
you encounter in the school room. 1t
is well for you to meet in convention
to exchange views. because the greater
greatest efficiency will come into the
country in future years. for you are
moulders of the quality of the men anl
women who will in future years rule
this great contry of ours.

and their methods have on the couu-
try. l am beginning to realize more
than ever that the future of this
country depends on the quality of its

the school room will have a great bear

one thing which ] want every one of
You to take home with YOU and that is
the necessity of teaching the boy or
girl the dignity of labor.
cit matters not how much educA-
tion the boy or girl may have, if they
do not know the dignity of labor they
will fail. / believe that one reason
our penitentiaries and jails are so full
is because the boys and girls are unpre-
pared to grasp the opportunity which
comes to them. They were not taught
to labor.
"The young man who is not taught
to work is not prepared for the bat
tie of life when he bumps up against
it. He is not prepared to apply him
self to the work before him and he
falls down. He is not taught the val
ne of dollar and thus he does not
realize what life is and is thus handi
capped in his battles. That is ono
reason the young man on the farm Is
so much heard of. He is taught to
work, he is taught how to do things
and when you give him this training
along with the other education it is
little wonder the highest places in
the land are filled by men who were
born and reared on the farm. The
same applies to girls.
"We have been prone to raise the
boys and girls and give them such
education as could be gathered from
the school room from books: we have
taught them that we would shield them
from labor and that they would never
have to face unpleasant conditions III

The announcement in today's issue
of the Glenwood Post of the grand
prize distribution to be made by it has
not been equalled, either in interest Or
Importance, by any similar announce
ment ever made in this section of the
state. 1t relates to the biggest enter.
prise of this kind ever inaugurated IN
this territory.
The prizes offered for energetic work
in the securing of subscriptions for
conditions under which they will be
distributed are so liberal that they are
bound to enlist a vast number of con
testants in the effort to possess them.
They aggregate more than 500 in cash
value and each of these attractive re.
wards makes its special and powerful
appeal to the ambitious young women
of this section.
The contest in which these magnif-
cent awards will be distributed is open
to. all women, either married or single,
in the city of Glenwood Springs or the
surrounding country. They do not have
to be subscribers to the Post and finan
cial standing counts for nothing. All
that is required is that they be resi-
dents fthe territory included in the
contest and that they be of good re
pute. No employees of the Post may
their direct families.
Why We Do It
The Post will give away this elabo-
rate schedule of prizes in order to get
before all the newspaper readers
throughout this section. The Post re-
nprted to this big contest in order to
grave indelibly on the minds of the
English reading public in this territory
the title of its leading public journal
and for this privilege it is willing to
pay royalty. While the trouble and
expense of such a contest is enormous,
this newspaper feels justified, because
of the tremendous amount of adver-
tising which will result to the publiea-
tion.
Seldom does any publication loose
its purse strings and pour forth liberal
gold as has the Glenwood Post in this
grand distribution and the newspaper
reading public of Glenwood Springs
will take an interest in this contest
such as has never before been displayed
by contest heretofore inaugurated by
newspaper in this section of the state
The nomination blank is printed in
this issue Fill it out today with your
name or that of friend whom yo''
would like to see win one of the prlze
offered and send or bring it to the
contest manager at his office in the
Post building and it will receive his
prompt attention. An early start ma:T
mean thousands of votes to you. Tht
names of those making nominations
will not be disclosed.
How Votes Are Secured :.
With every subscription to the Post
(when asked for) is given coupot
good for certain number of votes
according to the length of subscription
This is explained below. These con
pons may be held as long as desired
"a voted at any time up to the las

day of the contest. In fact, it is well
to hold back large per cent of your
vote coupons. as then no one knows
how many votes you have and you are
less likely to have some one step in Mt
the last and be paying for great many
subscriptions to secure the prize You
desire If you hold part of your
votes back no one knows how many
they have to have to win and will not
take chances.
The ballots printed in the Post are
good for twenty five votes, if voted
one week from the time printed. The
date on which they expire is on the
bottom of each ballot and if the time
is expired, the ballot will not be count
ed. A nomination blank counts for
5000 votes. Do not forget to put the
address on nomination blank.
The Piano
A high grade Kingsbury Piano will
be awarded as the Grand Prize. This
piano is so well known to the music
loving public of this city that it needs
no introduction. The high grade piano
used in this contest sells everywhere
for $4OO. The piano will be on display
in a few days.
The Rings
After the grand prize has been
awarded we give as first prize in each
district, beautiful diamond ring. Ev-
cry lady admires a beautiful diamond
ring and here is chance to get one
free Perhaps you do not care for the
piano. but ring would be just the
thing If so, then we can make oyu
happy. These rings are very valuable
and no doubt will be widely contested
for.
The Watches
A lady's gold watch will be given as
second prize in each district, after
the grand prize has been awarded
4uc OlStA1ItS
We have divided the territory into
three districts, as follows:

There will be two prizes go to each
district, regardless of what the other
districts do.

standing highest in the contest, regard
less of district limitations.

the highest contestant in each district
will get diamond ring and the second
highest lady's gold watch.

A Tip to Mexico.

A correspondent in the Middle
town Chips comments as follows +:
In view Of the surroundings
now before the people, and bright
prospects of an interburban rail
road traversing the best farming
country we have between Mexico
and st. Louis, passing diagonally
thru a part of Audrain, Montgom-
cry, Lincoln and st. Charles coun-
ties, thru Il fine territory that has
been handicapped for shipping
facilities for many years, and the
farmers believing in internal i'm
provements, have now determined
to look to themselves with the as
sistance of towns on the proposed
route, to construct a railroad line
for the mutual benefit of the
whole country. They have now
formed a company, and are MAX
ing the necessary preliminaries,
move in the right direction.
Such a road would be of incalcu-
bic benefit to Mexico, carrying
thousands of dollars into its Dor
ders from the south east, whereas
now Mexico does not reap but lit
tie that she so justly deserves. II
the line should bear north west
from Laddonia it would leave
Mexico to the west, and Paris
would reap where she has not
strewn. Will Mexico lie still to her
own interest and let this oppor-
tunity pass her by? Can she af-
ford to remain dormant and sell
fish? Can her enterprising citizens
fold their hands and say we have
enough railroads now? Surely no.,
We hope all will work together
for the promotion of the railroad
What will Paris say? The time to
strike is when the iron is hot.
