A very enjoyable meeting was
held last Friday evening. A
good sized class of candidates
were inflated in the third and
fourth degrees, after which re-
freshments were served and a
fine time enjoyed by all 1t was
the largest attended meeting that
we have had for this year, in
fact, our attendance is improving
with every meeting which goes
to show that the farmers are
waking up to the fact that if
they don't look out for their
own interests nobody else will.

Why Our G Commissioners Re.
fused to payFurther Bills
of the Convict Camp.

On November 9th, there ap-
peared in the Rocky Mountain
News a letter or interview from
Warden Tom lyman of the state
penitentiary, in which he at
tempts to criticize the board of
county commissioners Of Jeffer-
son county, and attempts to give
himself a boost at the expense
Of the Board.
The Board did notify him to
stop work in his convict camp on
the Denver Morrison road, and
that they would not be respon-
sible for bills after November
7th. But before doing this they
had spent about $5, 900 OF said
road, and were compelled to stop
because they had exhausted the
appropriation which the board
had previously made, and they
had no power to appropriate fur
ther money, and could maintain
the camp only out of their own
pockets, and had they issued
warrants, their bondsmen would
have been liable for the payment
of the same.
We desire to say that the con-
vict camp was an expensive af-
fair for the county. Its organ
ization was poor and executive
management worse. There were
too many non-workers in the
camp, and besides, they kept six
teen head of horses a month at

breckenridge 108 miles from
Denver. The discontinuance of
this service made Breckenridge
1916 miles from Denver. The
charter of the South Park road
provides for through passenger
and freight service daily. The
c. & S. took off these trains be-
cause they claimed the road did
not pay. The Commission or
dered the daily service restored.
Again the Commission has dem
onstrated it's usefulness. Again
has the Commission proved that
it is a Peoples Commission. The
Southern Colorado Coal decision
and their South Park order will
return to the people many times

all members present except Trus-
tee Thomas.
Minutes Of previous meeting
read and approved.
A petition was received asking
that a new sidewalk district be
established on Adelaide avenue
from West 1st to West 9th streets.
1t was accepted and referred to
the ordinance committee for ac-
ton.
A resolution was passed stat
ing that the Board will establish
grades for persons desiring to
put in sidewalks, and that no
walks shall hereafter be laid un-
till such grade has been estab-
lished.

out the horses being employed a
day upon the road. The COM
missioners are informed by men
who have had experience in road
work, and know that they could
have performed from one-third
to one fourth more work for the
same amount of money.
The camp was brought to JEFF
ferson county without an invita-
ton from the commissioners,
but they Loyalty supported the
same after it was brought there.
If Warden lyman will give
more time to organizing and ex-
ecuting the work in his camps,
and building roads and less time
to newspaper interviews and play
ing to the gallery, he will accom-
-plish more good, and build up a
better reputation for himself.
HOn Friday evening, Dec. %.
there will be given at the High
school a Christmas contata en-
titled Santa Claus Advice, p"
also some other numbers in ad-
dition. In all there will be
about fifty characters-Sa Santa
Claus, fairies glooms, storm king,
ragged man, Uncle Sam, queer
old woman and queer old man.
Solos, choruses, dialogues, etc,
make up the cantata. 1t is well
worth seeing and the proceeds
will go toward paying on the
piano and library fund.

Gibbs West Writes from Cal
ifornia.

An interesting letter from
Gibbs West has been received
from Long Beach Calf. and al
though it was not written for
publication it may be said that
Mr.. and Mrs. West are enjoying
the fine weather, the fruit and
flowers and favorably impressed
with the coast.
They have had several callers,
notable Mr.. and Mrs. McFadden
Mr.. and Mrs. Barth, Mr.. Benson
and Mr.. Markle.
Mr.. West says that Long Beach
is q fine city everything so clean
quiet and peacable and yet full
of business and building up rap
idly. 1t has wide paved streets
lined with palm trees good
water plant and splendid fire de-
partmcnt, no saloons and taxes
only Sl.i0 on $4,000 and a
| growth Of 700 per cent in pop
ulation in the last ten years.
Arvada, however, has a better
soil and can grow some flowers
finer in the season. and raise
some fruit better than there.
Nevertheless it is a wonderful
country and refers the reader

Farmer Politics
By H. w. M.

There seems to be a vast diff
ference of opinion between our
standpat president Taft and DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, the real secre-
tary of the interior, in regard to
the printed matter that should be
carried on the outside of a bottle
of whiskey. 1t seems the presi-
dent wants the printed matter
on the outside of a whiskey bottle
to tell what is inside. The writer
wants to know by what right has
the president to COMPEL the
booze" manufacturer to be a
prophet? No one can tell until
the whiskey is used whether the
hottie contains murder, arson,
grand larceny, street fight. or a
plain divorce. If Standpat Taft
is a sincere advocte of truthful
labels he should recommend that
the pure food act be applied to re-
epublican platfoms, and by so do
ing the active members of theJef-
fersonCo. Lincolnhiem club would
have an opportunity to use the
truth occasionally.

general favor the recall. By

TEST CASE
SUBMITTED TO COURT
Claim of Miss Dean, Whose
Pay Was CurtaiIed by Con-

Standing by the decision Of Controller
lie schools may not be paid for time
when they are absent. the District Com

to Justice Barnard Of the District SUI

Spouse to a test case instituted by Miss
Mildred Dean, teacher in the Central
High School. whose pay was curtailed
when she was absent on account of ILL
ness.
Attorney A. S. Worthington repre-
sents the teacher, and Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Stephens represents
the District Of Columbia. Counsel
waived a jury trial and agreed that
the court might decide the matter on
the stipulation.
Rates Paid Substitutes.
Mr.. Worthlngton holds that the
teachers were allowed to pay a sub
stitute at a lower rate than that re-
ceived by regular teachers by virtue
of a regulation made by the board Of
education, to which Congress has given
the right in such matters.
Custom Cited.

ing acted under that regulation is en-
titled to her full pay. out of which she
is to pay the substitute.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephens
admitted the custom of school authorities
to apportion the pay between teachers and
dated back to 1870.
He declared there is no law I'm force
directing how the substitute is to be
paid. He insisted that the ruling of the
controller was binding on the auditor Of
