BANKING REFORM
FOR THE SOUTH.
President Waits Asks That it be Kept Out
of Politics.

A Nashville special under the date of
October 3rd inst, states that f. O.
Watts, of Nashville, Tenn, President of
the American Bankers Association, has
written a personal appeal to all bank-
ers in the South, from Maryland to
Tex as, asking them to exert their inf1u-
ence to arouse their business friends
and their Representatives in congress to
the Importance of keeping banking and
currency legislation out Of politics.
MIR. Watts has sent with his letter
extracts from President Taft's recent
sp..ec h - on the need Of immediate cur
r.ncy reform to prevent another disas-
truus panic like that of four years ago
this month. He also encloses speech
made by John V. Farweii, the Chicago
merchant, President Of the National
(itiz.ns' League, for the Promotion Of a
Second Barking System, in which MIR.
Farwell says that we have ''rhe worst
banking system in the world"
mon partisan organ zations m bust
a ga men," says Mr.. Watts, "are now
politics. For. most among these ia the
National Citizens League. No secti n
should be. more interested than the
Sou h toward making the keeping the
subj ct non partisan, and no one inter-
est cou d avert greater influence in
the south than it's bankers"
New Orleans will be the scene OF the
annual col We ,tion Of the American
Banke. 8 As.. ci ,tion in November. The
bankers bell. ve this will be the most
important con vention ever held by tho
association. Only one subject will be
DISGUISE d-bsnking and currency re-
form. Fifteen leading bankers, repre-
e~rtiDg AL sections of the ct unsry. will
mako addr eses on the subject.

The DESTRUCTION
OF COTTON STALKS.
Special Agent Of U. S. Oepar ment Of
Agriculture Issues Statement,

Editor Commonwealth:
days before frost, we will be troubled
very little next spring with the BOIL
Weevil. It is settled fact that they
live ON nothing bnt cotton. They may
eat other plants, but they do not live ON
them; thcy die il they are unable to
find cotton. II cotton stalks are de-
stroyed 10 days befors, frost, the weevils
will go into winter quarters in such
starved condition that only very few
will survive the winter. What few 1--we
thru this cold weather will starve next
spring before cotton is large enough
for them to use it for food.
Let Us not try to fool ourselves by
saying that the army worms have eaten
al the foliage and there ia nothing for
the wsevil to eat. They will find plen
ty of food in the most barren col COD
field. We must remember that it does
not require ~ much food for roll
weevii as it does for horse. Further
more, all of our cotton will take sec
nd growth just ss som as we haze
little more moisture in the soil.
Practically all of as will be able to
destroy these stalks by the Goth Of
October il we really want 10 do SO. The
cotton is open and most of it has been
open for weeks. Our success next year
depends very largely on the destruc-
r~f Ika I hot
every possible effort be put forth in
this direction. Progressive communi-
ties are organizing aud saying to their
ueighbors that no stalks shall be stand
ing by the 10Th Of October. These peo-
pi.. are going to have cotton ne xt year.
1t 10 very easy to des roy cotton
stalks. A great many farmers use
middle buster after r. moving it's wings.
They plow four rows omitting the fifth.
The weevils flock to the row left stand
ing and, when the stalks on the other
rows are dry, they are piled on the fifth
row and burned. There is q stalk cut
ter on the market which is preferred by
some farmers to the middle buster. Ii
you do not possess middle buster or q
stalk cutter, get them down with hoe,
ar any other way You can.
Men who have , sueam or gasoline
plough, or good team 30 that they can
lind it to their advantage to turn under
these stalks instead Of burning them.

One of the most pleasing gather
ings In the history of the Knights OF

HORSE STEALING

Joe Davis, recently of Denver. is
being held at the county jail on the
charge Of horse stealing. He was
arrested at Tie Siding by Deputy
Sheriff Fraser and brought to Gree
ley last Friday.
Davis IL charged with stealing a
team belonging to Al Hilton of Gro
yer, which he got possession of last
Monday on the assertion that he
wanted to drive to Kersey. When
he did not return an investigation
was made. It is stated by the offic-
ers that he attempted to sell the
team at various towns he had pass
ed through and was trying to sell
the horses at Tie Siding when ar

The officers think that Davis may
also be wanted in Denver on a
similar charge. as he answers the
description Of man wanted there
for horse stealing.

Some on Only One.

been sent to the Tribune. 1t is pro-
claimed as follows
Whereas, 1t appears that the re-
cent caucuses of the non partisan
party did not represent issues that
were we'll recognized until after the
caucuses, and;
Wheeras, the caucus in the third
ward was conducted in a place and
under conditions that did not permit
of full and free deliberation on the
part of the voters Of said ward, and !;
Whereas, the caucus in the third
government IN Greeley during the
next two years will be grave and
fraught with tremendous Importance
to the citizens of Greeley. and;
Whereas, the results of the above
mentioned caucuses do not represent
the Judgment and policies of con-
siderable number of the voters of
Greeley, now;
Therefore, we, the voters named
in the petition presented herewith,
present the names of the candidates
given in the petition and pledge
them, If elected, to the administra-
ton of the policies briefly outlined
in the accompanying platform.
Platform
Efficiency in municipal govern
ment demands alertness, business
capacity, and familiarity with mod
ern municipal methods, as well as
honesty. Present day municipal busi-
ness is complex, technical and scien-
tific and is worthy of the best avail
able talent.
Economy means, not only the
avoidance of waste and extrava-
gance, but, also, the wise expendf-
ture of funds in the administration
of a we'll defined policy for perma-
nent and serviceable public improve
ments, while accomplishing a grad
ual reduction of the present indebt-
edness.
The greatest asset of the city, its
public utility franchises, should be
most carefully guarded. We well
come all public service, industrial
and manufacturing enterprises to
the city on terms Of contract that
are fair to all parties. However.
realizing that citizens are commonly
exploited by corporations to whom
franchises are carelessly given. we
hold that Greeley should give no
eclusive. or unlimited
franchise to any corporation.
All ordinances must be rigidly
and impartially enforced. In the
suppression of the liquor traffic es-
pecially, constant vigilance is neces-
sary If we are to maintain the repu-
tation that made Greeley famous.
Adequate police and fire protec-
tion is absolutely essential to mod
ern municipal conditions. II Gree
ley has outgrown the country VII
lage" stage 1t is important that her
police and fire departments should
consist of capable, we'll trained men.
equipped with all the proper means
for rendering the service expected
from them for the city.
Modern science has contributed
much to the possible prolongation
and enjoyment of life. It is the
DubiAcco VI tAc Sity 6OSCfuMculb
through its health department, to
disseminate Information, recon-
mend precautionary measures. pro-
vide for the maintenance of sanitary
conditions SO far as practicable, and
to promote all efforts tending to-
ward the preservation of the public
health, comfort and safety.

They're of.

The grand political marathon OF
fifteen days duration has begun for
the city hall sweepstakes. 1t is a
handicap affair with fifteen entries.
No betting is being done except
where dark horses have appeared.
Wise ones in the grand stand have
doped out the city offices as being
easy for William Mayher for mayor,
w. A. Hotchkiss city clerk and Miss
Lena Pleak city treasurer. This
dope sheet goes chiefly for the rea-
son that only one of these candidates
has any opposition, all of them but
one being on all four OF the tickets
that have been fled. w. H. Lowe
is a candidate for city clerk on the
tax payers ticket, the filing having
been made last Saturday.
The real excitement will come in
the aldermanic race. OF the eleven
candidates there is only one one who
this being S. F. Martin, whose name
appears from the second ward on all
four of the tickets.
The lineup for the consideration
of the voters now is:
First Ward
Hall, tax payers, citizens. repub-
lican.
Enright, non partisan, tax payers.
Farr, non partisan, citizens.
Second Ward
Howard, non partisan, citizens,
republican.
Martin. non partisan, tax payers,
citizens, republican.
Bird, tax payers.
Third Ward
Foulk, tax payers.
Barber, non partisan, tax payers.
March, non partisan, republican.
Bullock. citizens. republican.
Goodrich, citizens.
The time allotted for filing tickets
has expired, but it is not believed
chat any are left out. The democrats
are about the only orge nization that
did not get into the race, they hav-
ing stood by the non partisans from
the beginning. The republicans
were unable to rest easy with the en-
tire non partisan ticket nominated
being republican with the exception

composed of six non partisan nomi-
ness and three of republicans selec-
tion.
The citizens Is also the aftermath
OF the non partisan convention.
Some of the non partisans who
didn't like the way things went.
made faces at the ticket, and said
that there should be more than one
set Of candidates in the field. On the
strength Of this plea. they placed
another ticket IN the field. but en-
dorsed all Of the candidates for city
offices the non partisan convention
had nominated. They added q

dates for offices. except the alder
