ination. To do anything else would
be. in view of all that has taken
place. to admit that he did not
believe himself honestly entitled
to second nomination. and would
be to yield to the clamOr of a
small band of insurgent malcontents
who have been bounding him with
out warrant and without reason.
If there ever was president
who has taken his oath of office
'eriously and who has done his
level best to enforce the laws of
the land fearlessly and impartially.
without regard to his political fu-
ture. that man has been William II.
aft.
Never once has he played the
politician by putting his ear to the
ground before taking action. He
has acted in all respects along
the lines that he conceived to be
his duty and never has he acted
upon the vote7getting principle. In
deed. 1t may fairly be said that so
far as his political future was con-
cerned President Taft has been the
poorest politician that We have had
in the White house for many a day
But surely a president who does
his duty honestly as he sees It
without regard to whether it will
iake him votes or not Is the kind
Of a man to have in the presidential
office. The poorest kind OF a
president Is the man who is con-
stantly aiming to catch the ear of
the crowd and who plays for the
applause of the mob in all his acts.
And while we are about 1t. let
US express the opinion that II Mr..
Taft cannot win for the republican
party at the next election. no other
republican can. We hear tallc of
La Toilette. and some Of Bever-
idse.. and some Of Roosevelt. but
TAFT can come nearer beating The
democratic nominee. no matter who
he may be. than any of them. The
country had enough OF Roosevelt
by the time he went out of office
and was ready for a change: the
country would be wholly unwilling
to accept La Toilette with all his
radicaiism. and Beveridge is not
OF presidential size.
Taft. with his honest. conscien-
tious. painstaking purpose to en-
foprce the laws tnot to talk about
with his desire to
do the right thing by the coun-
try whether IL hurt or helped him
politically. Is the man whom all
republicans can honestly and con-
scit ntiously support. knowing that
their interests and those of the
country are safe in his hands

The best that can be said of the
Denver and northern Colorado del
egates to the Good Roads Conven-
ton is that they are poor losers.
Outnumbered. outgeneraled. out
voted they refuse to accept the YER
diet of the majority and are now
bent upon the destruction of the
state organization. They propose
to form their own and invoke the
aid of Colorado congressman.
There can be but one attitude ad-
visable to assume toward such
childish and sectional action-to
follow out the letter the program
decided upon by the majority of
the delegates at the convention.

to have no part in this important

amount of time to cool off and in

The Santa Fe trail is the natur-

an abundance OF scenery. From a
historical standpoint there is no

through which the commerce of the
east first found its way into the
Great West and the Pacific.
To the tourist who is travelling in
a leisurely fashion and who has
time to visit Colorado the trail
road offers him the best chance
to reach different points in the

BASEBALL SERIES FOR CHAM
PIONSHIP OF STATE
Plan For Three Districts and GtD-
eral Games In Autumn

At the close of every season for
the past decade there has been a
dispute over the baseball cham
ptonship of the state. due largely
to the fact that the leading teams
have not been able to play each
other in series that would decide
the, disputed question. There would
be the champion of each section.
and these could not be brought to-
gether to decide which was the
best of the lot. To prevent re-
currence of the same dispute next
fall the, baseball fans of Grand
Junction are already planning a
concluding tournament in Denver.
where the winners in the contests
of each section may meet and fight

The Grand Junction plan. which
is indorsed by other cities of the
western slope. is to have the state
divided into three or more dis
tricts. During the summer the

Those who attended the Good
Roads Convention at Pueblo could
not help but notice the chilly re-
when he arose to address the con-
vention on the afternoon OF the
coption given Governor Shafroth
first day. The applause that greet
ed him hardly rose to n point that
would have drowned conversational
speaking. and not once during his
talk was he interrupted with ap-
plause of any kind. When he fin
ished the reception was even cold
er than when he began. II was 30
marked that It became the subject
OF conversation during the entire
time the convention remained In
session. In his address the gov
ernor supported his veto OF what
are commonly termed the ''pork
barrel" bills by maintaining that
his party was pledged to turn the
Internal improvement fund over to
the state highway commission. for
expenditure fle claimed that he
vetoed every bill taking funds from
the Internal Improvement fund but
that he signed those bills which
took funds from the general reve-
nues for expenditure on good roads
q, mill ha r.,u a,f bara.y ,bat Tho ,n,.-
erDor has been severely criticiz-
ed for signing $67. 500 worth Of
appropriations from the General
revenue for good roads. $4,000 OF
which was appropriated for Denver
and the rest for his particular
friends. The governor stated that
he signed hese bills because they
took the money out Of the general
revenue fund. This is true and II
is also true that there is a gener-
al belief that in some way the rep
resentative from Denver and his
particular friends were tipped off
to the fact that If they appropriat-
ed money to their roads from the
general revenue fund. he would
sign the bills. II is also fact
that no one but the Denver dele
CATION and the governors intimate
friends had any such tips.
The governor was facing the
crowd of men most interested in
the expenditure of the internal i'm
provement fund. The 1179 dele
gates are the men who are trying
to build good roads in Colorado.
They believe that in some way the
governor was equally responsible
with the legislature for the fact
that this money is unavailable.
Hence. they gave him the reception
that was in their hearts.
