ate, he has obtained the close per-
sonal friendship of most OF its
members and enjoys the confidence
and esteem of the Senate leaders,
Republican and Democratic. Rec
ognizing the tradition of the Sen
ate that newcomers be chary OF
speech. he has not sought to attract
attention as an orator, but during
the progress of the tariff bill dis
cussion, his opinions were called
for on many business propositions,
especially those relating to mining,
and he discussed these questions on
the floor of the senate with ease
and effect. He was enabled to ac-
complish much in the framing of
the tariff bill of advantage to the
mining and other business interests
of his state and of the entire West.
He is a protectionist and was in
strumental in retaining the Ding
ley rates on wool and obtained in
creased tariff rates on tungsten,
zinc, lead and other mineral pro-
duets of the West.
When Mr.. Guggenheim was elect
ed to the Senate he resigned all OF
the positions he held in the compa-
nies with which he was connected,
with the expressed intention OF de-
voting his entire time to the duties
of his office as United States SEN
ator, an intention he has faithfully
carried into effect. While some
may complain that he does not fill
the pages of the Congressional Rec
ord with bursts of oratory, none
can say that he does not get results
in obtaining desirable legislation
for the benefit of his state. or that
he does not faithfully attend to
the reasonable wants of his con-
stituents.-National Magazine.

CURRENT EVENTS
Results of the Election.
Christian Workers.
Get Busy.

One of the most important cleo
tions ever held in the West closed
last week in this city. 1t was full
of surprises and disappointments.
The defeat of the Denver Union
Water Company's franchise, while
not unexpected in the face OF the
bitter and relentless fight waged
against the company by reformers,
together with the proneness OF the
average citizen to strike at corpor-
ations. Just what the result will
be is difficult to decide at this
time. 1t is very evident that a de-
termined effort will be made to
keep down litigation by those vital
ly interested in the city's welfare.
1t is to be hoped that the water
question can be settled with a MN
imum of cost to the taxpayers. On
the other hand, the results OF the
wet campaign can be regarded
from vastly different standpoint.
This is perhaps the first time the
"wet" and "dry" question has
been up in city like Denver

ure of conceded support. Womans
suffrage brings to the support OF
the "dry" question the vast army
of women who it is said stand ready
to annihilate the demon drink. But
the results of the late election do
not indicate that the great body OF
women voters laid stress on this
very momentous question. Level
headed women, like sensible men,
change their views when brought
face to face with business prob
lem. Then, again, Denver is sin
gularly free from the presence OF

convicts were prevented from es-
Gaping last year by the fidelity of
two Negro lifers, who seized rifles
and threatened any convict with
death if break was made. The
prisoners got the opportunity to
show their fidelity because the
white guards got drunk and desert
ed the camp, which is about five
miles from here. The Negroes
stood guard over the fifty convicts
all night. A citizen passing the
camp this morning learned of the
situation and notified the authori-
ties here, who sent "a posse to the
camp. The posse found the two
Negroes still on guard and the
baffied convicts cursing them. a
petition has been started asking
Governor Brown to recognize the
fidelity of the two Negroes.

is the sole member Of the Republl-
can party in Congress from Colo
RADIO, practically all OF the needs
and demands of that state fall to
his lot. Thus in area he has the
work to look after for Colorado
that the six Republican senators
and sixty Republican representa-
-tiues have for the three~states OF
New York, New Jersey and Penn
svlvania. If federal patronage
were of any benefit to a senator,
the Colorado senator would be In
great luck, for he is the sole dis
penser of such patronage for his
state. including federal court Off
cials, land office and treasury Off
cials, and upwards of a Thousand
postmasters.
Senator Guggenheim is an un-
ceasing worker. He is at his COM
mittee room in the capitol early In
the morning, getting his cores
pondence with constituents an
swered so that he can later be IN at
tendance upon the proceedings IN
the Senate chamber, and he at

dreds of requests of constituents re-
curing attention in the various de-

Senator Guggenheim picked out
the ones likely to enable him to be
of assistance to his own state and
the West. He has assignments on
agriculture and forestry, conserva-
ton of national resources, mines

and Philippines, and is chairman

was born in Philadelphia in 1867,
and has been a citizen OF Colorado
for over twenty years, going there
IN 1885 TO engage III tlio Siiioi'ihS
and refining business.
Of the seven sons of Meyer Gug-
genheim, the founder of the family,
Senator Guggenheim is the only
one who has shown any preference
for public life. In 1894 he was
nominated for acknowledgements
of Colorado, bpt withdrew from the
ticket because he was under the age
of thirty required by the state CON
stitution as the minimum age for
the occupant of that office. Two
years later he was nominated Tor
the position of governor, but de-
clined the nomination. In 1907,
after Colorado had been in Demo
cratic senatorial hands for SIX
years, he was elected without OPP
position to the Senate to succeed
Thomas M. Patterson.

Senate has been marked by charac-

faithful attention to the very many

garet Pryor, the richest Negro
woman in Kentucky by virtue of
the will of Maj. b G. Thomas,
whose slave and housekeeper she
was for years, died last Thursday
in the mansion left to her by the
master of Hiravila Stud. The
money that was accumulated by
Mai. Thomas during his lifetime
will be divided among the Negro
relatives of the aged woman. The
will of Major Thomas, one of the
most remarkable documents ever
filed for probate in this country,
caused storm of protests from
his relatives and friends, as in ad-
dition to bequeathing the bulk Of
his vast fortune to Margaret Pryor,
he also inserted clause that at
her death she should be buried at
his side in the Lexington Gene
terry. The latter clause, however,
was finally compromised by the
Negro housekeeper, and she will
be buried in the cemetery set
aside for those of her color.

BUSINESS MEN AS SENATORS.

From the viewpoint of the prac-
tical West. and sometimes even OIL
the less practical East, the leglsla-
tor who best serves his constituents
in the great Legislative forum at
Washington, is the one who obtains
for these constituents the most ap-
preparations, gets them the largest
number of government jobs. looks
the closest after their business mat
ters. in the various departments
and who makes himself in truth,
as well as theory, the servant Oh
those who sent him to represent
them at the national capital.
This is particularly true IN It's
application to legislators from the
West. and is mainly due to the fact
that the West needs much assist
ance from the national government.
The West is in state Of transition,
and to grow and develop must have
national aid for the development
of its industries-ai no Longer
needed by the older-settled parts OF
the country, the East and Middle
West.
The West must have approprla-
tions to reclaim its barren wastes !;
its cities and towns must have led
eral buildings; there is constant
demand for changes in Legislation
affecting the disposition OF west
ern public lands; new laws are re-
ouired to adjust the disposal OF
Indian lands, and countless ques-
tions are constantly arising in Con
gress and the departments IN re-
card to western conditions, long
since settled for other sections.
The legislator, senator or repre-
sentative. who accomplishes these
things is the one whom his constltu-
ency usually re-elects. He may be
of that class of eloquent statesmen
who get into the Record and the
public prints but, unless, in addl-
tion to his oratory, he can obtain
appropriations for public build
ings. secure funds for irrigation
enterprises, HlliiIdiy Poo"''
surveys of public lands, his ora
tory will count for little when cleo
tion day comes around. And to ac-
complish these things it is essential
that he be constantly on the job.
He must typify industry and per
sistence. for without either or both
he will fail.
Among the senators in Congress
who have notable regulations as
hard workers is the senior senator
from Colorado, Simon Guggen-
helm. One of his constituents re
Gently wrote of him: "He is the
hardest worker and the most sue
cessful senator the state has had
for some time," and Senator Gug-
genheim lives up to this reputation.
Colorado has an area which is
greater than the combined areas OF
the states of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. Of course. a

resentatives in Congress to assist

Great Western Sugar Company Is
sues u Statement Regarding the
Reported Closing Of the TT.
Morgan Factory
(special to the Tribune)

Ft. Morgan. July 26.--ln view OF
the recent announcement that the
sugar factory at Fort Morgan would
not be operated this year, several
erroneous reports have been circu-
lated relative to the beet situation
in this section. To correct these re-
ports the Great Western Sugar COM
pany has issued the following let
ter through the Fort Morgan Cham
Der of Commerce:
with regard to closing of the
Fort Morgan factory, we wish to
assure the city and growers tribu-
nent close down of the plant is de-
sired or contemplated. and that
should similar crop conditions pre-
vail next season, necessitating the
closing of one of our South Platte
factories, the one closed will not
be Fort Morgan. BY this we mean
that if the different factory districts
acreage and there should not be
enough beets to operate three plants,
then Brush or Sterling will be closed
in preference to Fort Morgan.
I'VE hope and confidently expect
that there will be sufficient acreage
and ample tonnage for the three
plants. especially with a better de-
velopment of Bijou and other terri
tory, but with only the acreage We
have this year, and with the water
situation such as not to insure the
growers satisfactory tonnage. there
is little doubt that either Brush or
Sterling will have to close next year.
as Fort Morgan has had to close this
year.
I'VE particularly regret that we
were compelled for business and eco
nomic reasons to decide on Fort
Morgan as the plant to be closed.
because such beets as We have tribu-
tary to the town promise good tom
mage and are among the best beets
in northern Colorado.

The fact that the Barr Lake dist
rict is short this year. and that there

POLICE JOB STILL OPEN FOR
THE REVEREND JOHN j. LACE.

If any bet dy thought the Tribune
was jollying yesterday when it Or
fered Rev. Lace job on Greeley's s
police force. they were much mis-
taken. 1t was done in dead earnest.
In an interview with Mayor Hous-
ton last night that gentleman said:
Yes, there's job open for Mr..
Lace on G.eeley's police force. And
we won't ask him to work for $50 a
month, either. Sixty dollars is the
regular pay of policeman, but II
Rev. Lace wants to try it month
we will put him on .t 800"
AS a matter of fact few people
have any idea of the difficulty of
getting evidence of a satisfactory
quality in crimes of a certain char
acter. Nobody who lives here and
has the slightest standing will spy
on his fellow citizen in the matter
of drinking. gambling. liquor selling
and similar offenses and come to the
scratch and testify against him.
When it comes to hiring detectives
it Is a hard matter to get men
whose word is gooe. for much. and
there Is always chance for the So
called detectives to take a bigger
fee from the culprits and get out OF
town without delivering the goods,
as it were. The writer has been pri-
vately told Of half dozen places in
Greeley where liquor could be had
or where a poker game could be
spotted, by persons who claimed to
know of their own personal know
ledge. When these people we're ask
ed why they didn't tell that to the
police their answer has uniformly
been in effect: Not on your life
Let the police find it out for them
selves. That's what they are hired
for"
Says City Marshal Williams: 81
would like to resign for thirty days
or take leave of absence for that
long and go to California. Mr.. Lace
can have my job on probation fol
the month I am gone. If he wants
the Job when I get back, and car
make good, will gladly step out
| and give him the place perman'
emily"
AS Mr. I.ace's character Is abso'
luteIy beyond reproach and his word
would be taken in any court in the
land. it looks like, II he has any rea
practical ideas on the subject Of the
suppression of crime In Greeley here
is his chance to put them into prac
tice and do more good in a month
on the police force than he can do ir

Perhaps the youngest veteran of
the Civil war, T. ]. Neal of Denver,

unteers. His parents discovered his
whereabouts and brought him home.
He again enlisted in the 33rd Ohio
and was again brought home by his
parents. On July 4. 1862, he went
to Chicago and enlisted in the 142nd
