THE TRIUMPH OF CLAWS

LOu.s CLAWS did not get ousted from
the Department of Interior in vain.
The brilliant fight made against the
issuance of the Cunningham patents N
the part of CLAWS, Pinchot and Col
lier's Weekly resulted in two great
victories for the people. One was in
the forced retirement of Ballinger and
the freeing of the Department of the
Interior from the domination of the
Guggenheim interests and the other
was the ultimate rejection of the Gun
ningham claims which were formerly
disallowed Monday by Secretary Fisher
of the Department of the Interior
The contest over these claims has
laster over two years. 1t first resulted
in the dismissal of CLAWS. the fearless
young agent of the department. who
fought the issuance of the patents
under Ballinger. He interester p nchot
and this brought about the famous
quarrel between Pinchot and Ballinger
which finally caused the dismissal of
L
President Taft, an act which has since
caused the president a great deal Of
political grief. The claims were can
celled on the grounds of fraud thus
upholding all that CLAWS contended
when he opened the fight.
Republicans are said to be migrate
full. Will Louis CLAWS be re m tated
to his position in the service of the
Department of the Interior which he
lost because he persisted in his fight
against the allowance of the Cunning.

THE RECENT SESSION of the leg

THE RECENT SESSION of the leg
stature let some very crazy legislation
slip through during the last hours of
its existence. For example, the law as
to the qualifications of teachers is only
one of the many of the crazy laws en-
acted. If one did not so well know
the personnel of the last legislature ne
might be more surprised than the mos.
of us are that such a ridiculous and
inconsistent bill became a law. The
Post is highly in. favor of highe'
qualifications for teachers, and in ther
apparent efforts to secure such we wi!
give the Legislators proper creait. but
for passing a law so contradictory and
SO nearly impossible OF fuillment thai
bunch of lawmakers are certainly de
serving of the severest criticism. There
no denying that in Colorado the re-
quired standard of qualifications is too
low. There is no escaping the fact
that school districts are paying out
their money to teachers who are teach
/ ers in name only-who have not quail
fed for the positions they assume to
fill and who never will qualify until
forced to do so by a more stringent
law than any which has yet been in
effect in this state-and yet to force
or undertake to force revolution b.
a law which imposes conditions, the
fulfllmeut of which are impossible,
certainly does not speak well for either
the intelligence or honesty of those
responsible.

THE BEAUTIFUL estate. OIL

THE BEAUTIFUL estate. once the

one of the most charming spots in this
whole country, the little town of Red

THE GRUBSTAKE

THE GRUBSTAKE proposition
which is now being agitated in Den
yer and, to a greater or less degree,
all over the state is all right if the
money is expended through a commit
tee which will see to it that the fund
is used in actual and bona fide
prospecting and we presume this will
be done. Oftentimes a very little slim
ulus in the line of aid to a miner or
prospector may result in the opening
and development of a mine of inestima-
Bile value. not alone to its owners but
to the entire community. AS a field
for the prospector Garfield county has
scarcely been scratched and vet there
is abundant indication of rich ore to
Justify the expenditure of consid
erable portion of this grubstake fund
in prospecting for veins which have a
way of hiding from the gaze of the
ordinary passerby. And yet enough
prospecting has already been done by
those who have faith in the mineral
possibilities in this county to demon
strate that mineral exists in large
quantities In this county and we believe
with a little financial encouragement
mines will yet be opened up in this
county that will prove heavy producers

WE NOTICE by the Carbonate
Item that an attempt is being made to
establish an indepedennt telephone
in that community, but the first meet
ing was very poorly attended and bu.
little interest shown in the matter. 1t
is the history of independent and
' farmers - telephones that butt into
a community where an established
phone system is serving the people
that they are an unmitigated nuisance.
They divide the service, increase the
expense, force many people against
their will and much to their discomfort
to install two telephones when one
would answer every purpose. The
mutuals' generally put up a ram
shackely line that falls down every
time the wind blows a stiff gale and
causes more profanity than anything
else except a gasoline engine. Car
bondale has about as much use for a
second telephone line as she has for a
second newspaper. but of course she
can have either # she wants to pay
the freight, but the freight rate is
high, good people. Don't forget that
when you make your plans.

1T SEEMS STRANGE that people
can be so blinded to reason, law and
common sense as to throw away their
money on as silly a proposition as the
case N court over the Glenwood water
works system, as is being done by the
trustees of the town of Glenwood
Springs. But then, come to think of it,
they are not throwing away their
money. 1t is the money of the people
they are spending and that probably
accounts for the reckless abandon with
which they let go of 1t. What matters
ii to Howard if the trustees have spent
$4,000 of the good money of the tax
payers of Glenwood Springs in their
political mania for destroying valuable
property? And what matters it to
Barnes or McKissack or Meadows or
Cross? Have they done so much for
the upbtilding and identifying of
Glenwood Springs, and are they sucn
heavy taxpayers that it is to them &
matter of vital concern that the money
of the people is thrown away in worse
than foolish fashion, Ask the man in
