gate called for vote the ballots
stood 75 to 55 and the resolutions
had received a death blow, such as
was Justly deserved.
There is no question but what the
great majority of veterans and mem
bers of the affiliating organizations
are strongly opposed to any such
resolutions and that the people as
whole are almost solidly opposed to
any such action is certain.
The resolutions could have but one
result, the arousing of sectional bit
terness and hatred. Congress would
never demand that Virginia with
draw Lees statue and furthermore il
Is almost absolutely certain that the
National G. A. r. Encampment would
never pass resolutions calling upon
congress to force Virginia to with
draw the statue. Many G. A. II. en-
campments throughout the country
have refused to pass similar resolu-
tions.
The average G. A. r. veteran, the
man who went through the war fight
ing bravely for the Union, has pro-
found respect for the men he fought
against and recognizes in Robert T..
Lee and many of the other Southern
commanders heroic, conscientious
men, who fought vallantly for the
cause they believed to be right and
just. No resolutions of bitterness or
denunciation, passed by veterans on
either side can detract from the great
ness of Lee or Grant, Jackson or
81 erldan. or any of the other great
commanders of the Civil war.
The encampment of Colorado and
Wyoming Is certainly to be commend
ed for turning down the resolutions.
A pretty lively series of contests
ensued when the election of officers
of the encampment was held late yes
terday afternoon. Col w. w. Fergu-
son, of Denver, custodian of the var
relics at the state capitol. and Senator
Dexter T. Sapp. of Gunnison. were
the nominees. Col Ferguson won
out but Senator Sapp had a strong
following. The fact that a western
Colorado man has held the office for
the past year was the most serious
objection to the election of Senator
Sapp. Both men were eminently
qualified for the office, and both are
very popular.

GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
Importance of Ventilating Rooms, Es-
peciaIly Sleeping Chambers, Is
Too often Overlooked.

Nothing is more common than fresh
ance for all who will take it, There
is no one thing so potent to prevent
disease, so effective in maintaining
a healthy action of the whole body.
Bad air spreads disease. Consumption,
pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh are
bad-air diseases. Bad air. too, is a
cause of colds.
Sewage flowing into pure water pol
lutes it, So the air we exhale from
our lungs pollutes the air in the room.
The impure air from the lungs of any
number of people in a room mixes
with the pure air and makes it dan
gerous and unfit for breathing There
must be a supply of fresh air con-
stantly coming in to take the place
of the foul air which in all cases
should be permitted to escape near
the top of the room.
1t is a law of nature that air is
always in notion and because this is
true one has only to lower the win
dows a little from the top and to
raise them a little from the bottom
and the process of ventilation will
go on without our thought or care.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of misery and suffering caused
by impure air If you would escape,
see to it that you get at all time a
plentiful supply of fresh air.
