Altitude 6,7S5 feet. 1t is the site of the Medical Hot Springs, the
waters of which Ire a sure specific for all blood and skin diseases,
rheumatism, stomach, liver and kidney disorders. Temperature of
water 1873 degrees. Saratoga is also the center of the finest trout
fishing grounds in the World. Not only the North Platte River
teens with Rainbow, Brook and Salmon trout, but the numerous
tributaries of that stream III alive with fish. Saratoga is the center
of an agricultural country of 100000 acres of the best agricul-
tural land in the west. The soil and climate ire adapted to the
growth of alfalfa wheat, oats, barley, all kinds of small fruits and
vegetables. The Saratoga Valley is the finest stock raising country

Medicine Bow range of mountains on the east, are full of copper,
gold and silver, which is being developed rapidly. All of the re-
sources of the valley center at Saratoga, which is certain to become
one of the greatest towns of the west. For information address, The

Saratoga is a candidate for the Masonic Home. The Masonic
Lodge here is a unit on the proposition and every member will work
ernestly and faithfully to secure the prize. Saratoga is certainly an
ideal location for such an institution. We have everything here in
the way of climate, scenery, medicinal water, soil and natural adopt
ion for an institution of that character. We ernestly solicit the CO.
operation of the Masonic Lodges at Encampment, Rawlins and all
over the state. "Come and help us" The home has to be located at
desirable point, and Saratoga elaine that she has the best and
most feasible spot. She will be thankful fol- your assistance and she
will do the right thing in procuring a suitable site.

The Sun is not in favor of Direct Primaries. Neither can it endorse
the Referendum and Recall. There seems o a kind of political tch
concerning those matters that has spread over the country. They
may be all right, but they have not been tried sufficiently to warrant
their general adoption. One of the strongest arguments against the
Direct Primary law is that it puts a poor man out of the race for
important Office, whether state o II national. We do not believe that
the present method of primary, county and state conventions can be
improved on. We would most certainly roget to see our U. s. Senators
elected by a direct vote of the people.

Supplying the Enemy with Ammunition

Several of our Republican exchanges are making an untimely, or at
for state offices. There can be no objection to boosting for any par
hcular candidate, but the bitter personal attacks that ire being made
on other candidates adds no strength to the cause of the favorite and
weakens the position of the whole porty. Some of these papers may
lind themselves in a n embarrassing position if, after the convention
they lind it necessary to support the men whom they n now trying
to defame. Cut it out. Stop supplying the enemy with ammunition

How very difficult it is to make any real progress-that is, progress
that is progress, that counts for progress, not a mere squirt forward or
a seeming gain in virtue or morality. A man may hammer away for
years at a fault, or a lack of character, and at times may feel confident
that he has conquered the one, or materially added to the other. Then
will comea crucial moment and he finds that his old fault is still his
But this lack of progress comes from a misconception of time. 1t
takes many years of patient labor before anything of a permanent
character is attained and this is as it should be. The mighty oak is

There is another remarkable thing
Rome, and 1t is so characteristic OF

nostly hopes that "the incident will be

The Atlanta Constitution is glad to
know there was even as much as
$4,000 in Richmond, even IL robbers
did have to go to the Federal post
Office for it," We are always glad
when the Constitution is able to
know" anything, its ignorance being
surpassed only by its inadequacy. Its
statement about the post office robbery
here has a certain value, however, as
1t affords the opportunity OF making a
comparison between the financial re-
sources of Atlanta and Richmond. The
tale is told in the official figures of
the banking interests of the two towns
at the close of business on January 81,
1910, as follows:
In Atlanta:
Total capital. s5.4oo,oo0.
Total surplus and profits, s4,32lo0o.
Total deposits, s2s.172,ooo.
In Richmond:
Total capital, s6,142,T1o.
Total surplus and profits. s5,5a5,456.
Total deposits, s3s,976,63s.
1t will be seen that with banking
capital of only s742,71o more than the
banking capital of Atlanta, Richmond
has s1,274,45s more surplus and undi-
vided profits, and S1o,S04, 63S more de-
posits. Moreover, Richmond does at
least s2O.ooO.Ooo more business annu-
ally than Atlanta, and does 1t largely
on Richmond capital and not on what
unsuspecting strangers happen to
drop trying to get on the inside of the
dead suro things which can always
be found in the Georgia town.

DANISH THE cARICAruRE.

Rabbi Joseph Silverman, Of New
York. is perfectly right in advocating
a national crusade against the sense
less caricaturc of the Jewish people
In his lecture Sunday morning at the
Temple Emanuel. DIR. Silverman noted
how the indignant protest of the Irish
against the eternal travesties on their
race had ended in the practical ban
ishment of the irish comedian from
every stage. He asked his hearers
why similar protest, by the Jewish
people, might not stop the present car
features that flood magazines of a
doubtful type and crowd the cartoons
OF low comic weeklies.
Caricature is never very lcgiti-
mate form of humor, no matter
against whom it may be directed. To
pick out one man and parade him as
a thief, fool or an ass is to pass
from the field of decent humor
to horseplay. The caricature OF
race is still worse, since it stamps
upon the best men of the race the dis
tOFleu features OIL tHe WOFSl.
The senseless caricature of the Jewish
people-repeated week after week and
month after months particularly
distasteful to every man who has an
honest respect for his fellowman and
a decent regard for the feelings of
others. The Jews are American oiti-
zens. as patriotic. as public spirited
and as honorable as any similar num-
Der of men in the country. AS race.
they have traits which should be a
model for others to copy, and as men
and heads of families they challenge
the respect of every nation. To sin
gle them out for awkward caricature
and to hold them to base ridicule is
an insult to the country as well as to
the Jews
We trust Rabbi Silverman's plans
will be carried out and that a cruz
SADIE will be begun which shall end
forever the cariqature Of the Jews.
such crusade should be approved by
all good men and should have the
support of those who believe that
Kindness is the better. law of life and
that consideration for ones fellownan
is the true test of man.

for whom he entertains great esteem,

dent of the United States. His Holl-
ness quite recognizes Mr.. Roos evelt's
entire right to freedom of conduct.
On the other hand in view of the
circumstances, for which neither His
Holiness nor Mr.. Roosevelt is respon-
sibie, an audience could not occur

| standing in the former MESA sc was
! that the Pope hoped that nothing
would arise TO prevent the audience,

4 purpose. a case in point was that
! a letter he received from one Of his
4 most devoted friends at that time,
touching the appointment OF the col
