The past wear in the work {

The past year in the work OF
the Idaho Springs Com mercial
Association has been one OF uuus-
ual activity and the seeds Of z
good fruitage have been sown. Re
suits are not the work Of day or
a month or year To bring
about TIE proper conditions ii
mean. continuous pushing year
after year. One board of trustees
should take up the work of its pre-
decessor and improve upon il.
1t should grow and expand The
members OF the present board
have doue the work well. They
have given much time to its inter
est. Under the leadership OF a
r. Comstock there was given
impetus and a new inspiration.
I Aere have been pu bic meetings
that have been success while the
meetings OF the board have been
promptly attended by the mem
bers and wise cousel has prevailed
There has been a strict unity ard
concert of action. They have con-
sldered matters pertaining TO our
business interests and industries
in a broad and comprehensive
manner and not from the stand
point Of individualism. With
such feelings and actions an en-
terprise will be successful even if
the move tents at times are slow.
The committees as general thing
nave been wide a~ke. They
have done the duties assigned
them in commendable manner.
Let the good work go on.

JUDGING from reading the lab
ored platform OF principles a.
enunciated in the Gazette one
would imagine that all the good
that has been accomplished for
Idaho Springs In meterial way
has been done under the present
ad ministration. 1t seems to be
unmindtui of the fact that half OF
the aldermen were elected on the
Citizens ticket two years ago and
that these men have had hand in
the shaping OF whatever has been
of benefit to the town 1t
is a further fact that many Of the
i'm provenents that have been
q / the past two years were
o. =. several years ago. while
Others were in their formative
stages Nor can it De denied that
the men who have composed the
city council during the ten years
prior to the present administration
were just as capable, just as hon
est just as desirous to subserve the
best interests OF the community
ond performed their duties just as
faithfully as has characterized the
present admistration The other
city officials during that period
were just as competent as the city
ever had and filled their position
in the most CON- n endable manoer.
They have nothing to apologize
for In reference to the saloon
question there is no issue SO far rs
the parties are concerned.

THE commission form of ci

THE commission form Of civic
administration is taking firm
hold throughout the couu r and
is being considered to a very large
extent. Where it is being tried
it is proving both satisl ectory and
economical and those cities that
have adopted il would not return
to the old conditions. Instead of
producing internal dissensions,
it tends to bring the people OF g
community into closer relationship
Instead Of division il inculcates
unison. fractional lines are OBJ
liberated aud il brings about a
spirit OF coneiliation In order to
build up a community these are
desirable conditions. Strife within
parties are the worst kind. a am
paign between two political parties
may be strenuous but when it is
over there is not the malignant
and con ntinuous feelings that are
engendered when representatives.
OF party are divided. This par
takes more OF personal estraage
nent than does a campaign be
tween the representatives Of two
recognized political parties. In
municipalities it is better TO draw
the lines between such parties and
not between factions of parties
If this cannot be done then the
commission form Of government
will be the nearest approach TO
unity.

LONDON, December "a. 1910.
James Grieve, believed to be the Oldest
man in Scotland, died at his dwelling.
Cor-an-tee, Loeb Eckside, a few nights
ago
He was q native of lnverness-shire.
where, according to his own belief, he
was born in the year 1900. He fixed the
date of his birth by his recollections OF
Waterloo.
He was then boy working in the fields.
When the news Of the victory arrived he.
along with his fellow labOrers, participat-
ed in the general rejoicings. At that time
he was fourteen or fifteen years Of age.
He maintained the use of his faculties
almost up to the last, and was able to
see and speak with visitors till within a
few weeks ago.
For almost ninety-fice years Grteve
worked az q shepherd, and even after he
had retired from continuous labor he con-
tinued to assist in the fields, taking a
turn at the hay, as he phrased ii. Elk
cept for an attack Of influenza now and
then during the last years he could boast
of an absolutely clean bill of health, and.
centenarian though he was, a daily walk
of several miles over rough ways had NO
fears for him.

D0DGING THE LAW.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
I-SMUGGLING,

There was never q law enacted which
escaped violation. This is especially true
of laws with reference to the payment
of money, the abolition OF the liquor
traffic and the exclusion Of the willy
Chinese coolie.
With the custom laws levying toll Of
1886, 900. 900 a year on goods coming into
the ports of the United States. 1t is but
natural that there should be thousands of
people who would elude their operation
if they could. The wits used to dodge
the customs and revenue laws Of the
country are worthy of a better cause 1t
costs millions to collect the import du-
ties levied by the government. and every
bit of merchandise must be examined as
carefully as If there were reasons to sus
pect an attempt to dodge the payment Of
duty. Even a minister Of the gospel must
make his declaration and have his bag
gage examined when he comes into a port
of the United States.
The present crusade for the complete
humiliation of the smuggler began with
the exposure of the sugar trust. That
corporation, with its famous seventeen
holes in an iron hook was able to
dodge the customs laws to such an extent
that it has been forced to pay the gov
eminent 81. 100000 as a restitution. Its
method OF operation was to have a Sc
cret hole in the mechanism Of each of the
seventeen scales on which the imported
sugar was weighed. With an iron hook
it was able to make each bag of sugar
register much less than its actual weight
An involved conspiracy was essential to
the proper working of the scheme. and
1t was only after many years that gov
eminent official detected the trick.

PICTURE SUGGESTS CRIME.
Three Men Hold Up Another After
Seeing Moving Film.

ELIZABETH, N. j., January 2.-After
attending a moving picture theater in
this city, where they said they witnessed
a western hold-up, three young men. who
said they were William Fitzpatrick, Paul
Sven and Adolph Sven. decided to re-
produce in real dife the scene they had
witnessed.
They lay in wait at Bayway and the
Long Branch railroad. lonely spot in
the outskirts OF this city, for William
Robbie of 44S Grier avenue. Jumping on
Robbie, they took his wallet, containing
two twenty-dollar bills. Then they stole
his watch and left him battered and
bleeding on the road.
The three wore handkerchiefs as masks.
but Robbie recognized one of them and
described him to the police. Later De-
tective Sergts. Murphy, Matson and Null
cahey and Detective O'Brien met the
three in a saloon where they were spend
ing their loot.

The government has no other alternative
than to accept his valuations. When he
attempts to make a sale he points with
