w. G. Kriley. Of Black Hawk, whom
the Democrats nominated for commits
sioner of the third district is pecu-
liarly qualified to fulfill the duties of
this office in a manner exceptional
ly satisfactory to all. The work that
a commissioner has to perform other
than looking after the general af-
fairs of the county, consists in the
main of overseeing read repairs and
construction. OF the latter, Mr.. Kriley
has had unlimited experience and his
practical knowledge in this respect
gives him qualifications not possess
ed by the average candidate for this
office. Mr.. Kriley will make a first
class member of the board and his
election, everything considered, is
really necessity in the continuance
Of the careful and economical admin
istration the people have had under
Democratic control.

In part of this issue will be found
the Democratic county ticket, NOM
mated last Saturday. Its personnel
represents the best citizenship of Gill
pin county. The majority CT the can
didates are incumbents of the offices
to which they ask re-election and con-
sequently, aside from one or two need
no extended introduction eulogistic of
their characters or official conduct.
They have served their constituency
faithfully and we'll and no word of
criticism is recorded against them.
They are men who have a good, clean
record to stand upon and go before
the voters with the full assurance
that their administrations will meet

Gilpin county Democracy this year
went outside of the professional
ranks to procure a man for the legis.

has been nominated in the person Of
Hugh ]. Williams, of Russell Gulch
Mr.. Williams is recognizedas a man of
strong character. honest and upright,
and man who Is fearless in the de-
fense of what he knows to be right
Mr.. Williams election will have a
tendency to purify the legislative at
mosphere at the state capitol, and
his constituency need have no fear
that he will repudiate a platform
pledge or act In any manner inimical
to their interests. Vote for Hugh J..
Williams and send man to the leg

highest confidence and feel secure in
the knowledge that Gilpin county
will be honorably represented.

A charge of incompetence against
the Democratic party in Colorado!
That is what the Republican press is
saying. The present Democratic ad-
rninistration will live in history as
the most honest, competent, wise and
conservative of any that has gone be-
fore. Make no mistake, as you surely
WILL If you vote other than the De-
lnocratic ticket.

Judge Robert Steele is no mere. 1t
was deserved tribute that the state
should have so sorrowfully mourned
his demise. His position was unique.
His judgments were not of the legal
or technical, rather he leaned to the
side Of justice and morals. He may
not have been a deep thinker or a
profound lawyer, but he did have
what many might wish to possess
kindly nature and knowledge of
humans that made him sympathetic.

proportions of the sanity senator

Origin Of NuptiaI kiss.

The nuptial kiss. with a meaning
akin to that Of the kiss Of peace, had
its origin In q most serious and prac.
tical church ceremony known as the
espousals. Among medieval people,
as among some classes Of Jews today,
II was customary for the bridegroom
and the bride to meet before wit.
nesses in the church some days or
even weeks before the marriage and
there make q pledge Of future union.
and at such times q ring was usually
presented BY the prospective husband.
Sometimes. however. the man was too
poor to buy the ornament. and instead
presented kiss. which was doubtless
more pleasant. and was considered a
binding pledge before man and God.

ROAD CONVENTION
FOR LAuRENS COUNTY
1t Will be Held Under Auspices OF the
Columbia Record and
Local PAPERS.

The good roads meeting held under
the auspices OF The Daily Record oi
Columbia, will be held on Friday
August 26. The meeting will be very
interesting to all who are concerned
about highway improvement. and as
this is the most important subject
now before the people there should
be a large attendance.
The good roads campaign is being
conducted by The Daily Record in
cooperation with the county papers
OF the State. for the purpose not only
of stirring up interest in good roads
but Of giving the people practical in
formation on the subject. The United
States government, at the instance
OF Commissioner Watson and Con-
gressman Lever, has recognized the
Importance of the campaign by as
signing one OF it's best known road
experts, Mr.. ID. III. Winslow, to the
work, and at every meeting, Mr.. Wins
low makes a practical talk on some
subject pertaining to roads and how
to secure their Improvement. He is
Il very Fascinating talker and thor
oughly practical.
The Record is represented by Mr..
G. w. Norman, formerly secretary
of the Columbia Chamber of Com
merce. The party is travelling in auto
mobiles, and are having an excellent
opportunity to learn the condition of
the roads in this state.

Evidence of a renewed interest i'm

some description of its leading prin-
ciples 1t was devised by Sir Robert
Torrens, and first put into operation
in Australia. where so many modern
political and legislative reforms have
had their beginnings. The system
abolishes most or all distinctions be-
tween real estate and personal prop
erty, and its chief object is to remove
the difficulties, delays. and expenses
incident to the transfer of real es-
tate under the old English system de-
celoped out of the feudal tenures.
In Australia there is registrars
office with whom the owner of a tract
OF land. held by the old tenure. de-
pOsits a description of his property
and obtains certificate of ownership.
The registrars office examines the
title carefully and the certificate guar
antees its legality. whether as abso-
lutte or with conditions attached. If
the title were to a life estate, the
certificate would so state Each ap-
plicant for a certificate pays small
fee out of which an insurance fund
is created. From this fund the State
protects itself when a title guaran-
teed by the registrar is attacked and
the State is called upon to indemnity

After the land owner has exchanged
his muniments of title under the older
system and received a certificate from
the registrars office, he may trans
fer the certificate by Endorsement as
he would share in bank or cot

the certificate for money borrowed, as
he would personal security. Regis
tration in the registrars office with
each transfer of the certificate is re-
quired, for which email fee is
charged. The necessity for the exam
ination of titles, it will be seen, is
eliminated, because the State guar
