Gilpin observer., 1911-09-07

all the speakers from the anti-bellum
period down to the present seems to
prove fairly conclusively that Speaker
: Clark Is by no means without good
material on which to base his claims
that they did not grow rich In once.
Indeed there are many facts avail
, able all going to indicate that the vast
majority Of the speakers at least have
refrained most abstemiously from cor
ruption and to their everlasting credit
be 1t said they have done 1t in circum-
stances that makes even honesty q
special virtue.
Any one who possesses even a su-
perflcial knowledge OF the ins and outs
of Washington oficial life cannot but
be aware that no other man In public
life is in SO good a position to feather
his own nest as IL the speaker OF the
house.
By nodding his head he could make
every session worth a cool million to
himself and the public at large would
be none the wiser. And yet our speak
ers have almost invariably quit once

Grow Of Pennsylvania presided dur

hands Of cunning men. An able states
man is not necessarily q shrewd busi-
ness man: indeed some Of the ablest
have made ducks and brakes OF their
own affairs-Daniel Webster. for in.
stance. vice-President Colfax died
poor.
After Colfax came Blaine. II his po-
sition as presiding oficer Of the house
afforded certain opportunities he was
fain to grasp them without going tech.
nically against the statute.
After Blaine came as speaker Mi
chael C. Kerr OF Indiana. who died
after serving q few months. Kerr had
saved nothing and his salary for the
full year. voted to his family. was most
acceptable.
Samuel J. Randall. tolerant Of others
and sympathetic with the weakness Of
humanity, was the sternest Of all
judges when self was at the bar, and
no dollar ever passed his fingers that
had not been honestly acquired.
A million dollars would have been
paid to keep William r. Morrison on
the ways and means committee. RAN
dali made him chairman. Continuous
ly in once from 1858 until the time Of
his death, almost, Samuel J. Randall
accumulated no large estate.
Gen. J. Warren Keifer served q
single term a. speaker and then tenn
porarily retired from congress 30 that
he might lay up something for old age.
Having acquired a competency he re-
turned to the house. OF which he II
now a member.
John @. Carlisle, speaker for six
years. United States senator and sec.
retary Of the treasury. removed to
New York after quitting the cabinet
in order that he might recoup his shat.
tered fortunes. Mr.. Carlisle was al.
ways Just q little behind until In his
old age he resumed his Law practice.
Gilpin observer., 1911-09-07

Commanding talents such a. his. OF
course. brought In big fees. and he
was soon In easy circumstances. But
not penny Of the estate inherited
by his heirs when he died q few
months ago. came out Of the public
treasury or from the strong boz Of
congressional lobby.
Why Thomas Bracket Reed quit
congress and the speakership at the
very height of his brilliant career IL
well known to all readers Of newspa-
pers. He had family and his family
were seeing him grow old under con-
ditions that would not permit him to
save anything for them or for himself.
A firm OF New York lawyers offered
to guarantee him 100000 a year. This
was one-tenth Of what he could have
commanded from the lobby. but he re-
signed and removed to Manhattan,
where. SO perverse is fate, he died be-
fore he was able to accomplish his
purpose.
Charles F. Crisp Of Georgia sue
ceeded and preceded Mr.. Reed in the
speakers chair. He had sense enough
to keep out OF politics after the ex-
piration Of his brief tenure by virtue
Of special election until he accumu-
lated a competence.
David B. Henderson, who came be-
fore Cannon. also quit congress. and
removed. like Carlisle and Reed, to
New York. his sole and only object
being the rehabilitation Of his for
tunes. but his health failed and he
went back to Iowa to die.
When one considers that all these
men could have earned in private life
many times the amount drawn from
the government, and when 1t 10 fur
ther considered that there IL always
an alert lobby at the capitol ready to
adopt the weaklings and fatten them
with pelf. the foregoing record IL one
Of which every American citizen has
reason to be proud.
The speaker Of the British house Of
commons receives $4,000 a year and
. house to live In: moreover. when
he lays down his gavel he Is elevated
to the peerage and receives a pension.
His reward. compared with the reward
of Crisp or Carlisle or a Thomas
Brackett Reed. is indeed great.

STATE FAIR HAPPENINGS.

There are So harness horses en-
tered for the eight big trotting and
pacing events at the State Fair which
will be held in Pueblo, September
1S to %. For each of the big races
the fair management has offered a
purse Of $500, making total of
$4,000 for the harness races alone.
There will be II starters in the
2:24 pacing race, IL starters in the
2:18 pace, 16 starters in the Walter
Brewing company 2:30 pace, 10 start
ers in the 2:12 Congress Hotel pace,
9 starters in the great free for all
pace, starters in the R. T. Frazier
Sadlery Cos. 2:30 trot and 8 starters
in the 2:20 trot. Some of the best
horses west of the Mississippi river
are entered for these events and
there will be faster races and more
contenders in each event than were
ever shown before on any race track
in the state of Colorado.
Two hundred running horses will
be on the ground and the thorough
breds will include some of the best
gallopers in the Rocky Mountain reg
ion. There will be three running
races every day of the fair and eight
Of the best strings of relay horses in
the west will be entered in the relay
races. Strings Of racers will come
from Salt Lake, Denver, Cheyenne
and many points in Kansas, Missouri,
New Mexico and Arizona.
Colorado people who enjoy the
races will have an opportunity at the
State Fair to witness some of the
tition in the many races in the pro-
gram.
In trying to make the 1911 Colorado
State Fair the greatest ever held the
management this year has endeavor-
ed to provide more big special fea-
lures than ever before.
As an evidence Of this, at great ex-
pense, the Fair management has
made arrangements to put on 1.-The
Last Days of Pompeii," the worlds
greatest outdoor spectacle. This
great show carries $50 people and
thousands of dollars worth of fire
works and special scenery.
Among some Of the hundreds Of
other smaller features are vaudeville
acts in front of the grandstand every
day, Buffalo Jones and his wonderful
herd of buffalo, cattalos and Persian
ino goats. Odell. the wonderful bee
man, milking contests. demonstra-
tions by the forestry service, wild
west and frontier day sports. In
short, a three ring circus will be
tame affair when the number Of fea-
lures and attractions are considered.
On top Of this the Colorado State
Fair will have the best races this
year in its history. You can't afford
to miss seeing the big fair this year.

TO SPLIT NYE COUNTY.

As stated in these columns yesterday, an
obscure sheet which issues weekly from Man
haitian has decrecd that Nye county shall suffer
like fate to Esmerada and be rent in twain.
1t states: "Maybe some day we'll split Nye
county and have little county all our own
The Bonanza had better become used
to this sort of talk now any time 1t may
hear more of it later" Just think of it
"WELL SPLIT NYE." The audacity of the
juvenile editor of the Manhattan "excuse''
might be commended were it not for the fact
that it borders gall.
OF young friend may know
whereof he speaks, but we are inclined to the
opposite opinion. We firmly and sorrowingy
believe that either he is affected by the Man
haitian climatic conditions or else some suave
politician has been working on his youthful
and not fully developed intellect. Poor boy, in
any event, he is demonstrating, in the heat
of passion undoubtedly, that his ideas are
simple and that he can virtually be led around
by the nose. "WEIL SPLIT NYE COUNTY,
1t is a huge joke
However should the policy as advocated by
our youthful contemporary be given any
Sderation it must be two years hence and by
that time the "boy editor" will have amassed
considerable more experience than he now has.
He will be trihe older and, it is to be hoped.
trfe wiser. He will then, probably see the
folly OF his way; he will undoubtedly realize his
youthful mdScretionS. He may even offer us
Should he show an improved mind and demon
srate the fact that he is carrying more ballast
then than now, we will feel that our gentle and
kin rebuke has been well expended We will
feel that efforts have not been in vain, but
that suggestions have fallen on fertile soil
With the present rate of taxation, heavy
enough for ALL and much heavier than it would
be but for the action of puritancal legisla-
ture. it would be almost doubled by the time
the county was divided Division would work
some hardship upon this end of the county,
but shudder to think what it would mean to
the taxpayers who would be located in the
"other county. And another thing, where
would our budding youthful friend locate the
county seat in HIS county? At Belmont there
is at the present time an old court house. But
surely he would not permit of any but Man
haitian being the county seat. Then the ques-
ton suggests itself, how would the court house
be removed? Or. would the boy erect new
structure at Manhattan? These questions cause
us some little worry and would gladly ac
cept enlightenment
Since our well meaning but misguided young
editor rid himself of his county division
spasm last Saturday have interviewed several
Manhattanites relative to the question with the
result that the majority have smiled and given
utterance to the word 'locoed." One man even
went so far as to say: 'Fools and kids rush
i'll where angels fear to tread" So say we,
and Amen.

THE EIGHTH WONDER.

Wonders will never cease Since the passage
Of the new and almost drastic divorce laws,
the judges Of Reno who sever marital ties, are
insisting upon the applicants for surcease from
the woes of matrmOny bringing into court proof
positive that they have resided six months in
the state of Nevada. 1t appears to us that thai
new law allowed for the applicant for d-
vorce to leave the state during the six months
if absolutely necessary" Looks as though it
should be easy to find occasions and conditions
making it absolutely necessary for them to
be absent from Nevada at least five out of
the SIX months. The stand of the Reno judges
has the appearance of ''bunk'' ssagent s
