HE WANTS TO KNOW
Rifle, Colo, October %, 191

Editor Glenwood POST
Just few questions, please. l find
there is difference down here in re
gard to the manner in which the county
judges office is being conducted. L
have heard that it is being kept up in
good shape and then again have heard
that disputed and l have reason to be-
lieve that the disputers have inside in
formation on the subject.
/ understand that Judge Smith has
not written up his records since he
went into office, but that some time
ago when the state auditors were check
ing up the county records they found
the county judges records in bad con
dition and they wrote them up for
him. The next time they made the
trip to the court house few months
later they found that these records had
not been kept up and they declined to
write them up again and went away
disguised.
l learn that recently, or since Judge
Smith has been campaigning, lady
who is without experience in that line
of work has been employed in the
office, but that the records are still IN
bad shape. At least that is the charge
that is freely made in this section.
l remember that some time last
spring the Avalanche, in praising Judge
Smith for the manner in which he had
conducted his office, stated that the
office had taken in $1,000 for the last
year, but that only $2,1OO would go to
the Judge as salary, leaving the i'm
preston that Judge Smith had been
moneymaker for the county.
Now, what should like to know is
this If only $2,1OO of the receipts go
to Judge Smith, where does the other
5000 go and why ism it going before
this? L understand all other county
officers turned over their surplus 70
the county long ago, but friend of
mine tells me that he just inquired of
Treasurer MacRae during the last few
days and was told that Judge smith
had not yet turned over his surplus to
the county. Do you know why he has
not done so? This money belongs to
the county fund and it seems to me
that the county should have the benefit
of it.
There is another matter in which
am not SO much concerned, but which
looks little strange to me and l pre-
sumo your Glenwood merchants are
more interested in the question than
1 am. I am told that last winter
Judge Smith allowed G. II. Wyman, as
administrator of his fathers estate, 10
hold an auction sale of jewelry just
about the holiday season and after ths
Glenwood town council had refused
him a license and that Smith boasted
that he would show them who was in
authority. Now after forcing this auc-
ton sale against the interests OF your
| Glenwood merchants, I am wondering
why Judge Smith did not force Wymau
to make some settlement of the estate
and not allow it to be carelessly han
died, to use no stronger term, and al

Steel Cars in j Wreck.

in the wreck OF the Chicago New
York hier at Warriors Ridge, Penn
sylvania, vas afforded good test of
the all steel cars. Although the tain,
going at a terrific rate of speed, went
over 3O-foot embankmeut, but four
lives were lost and only 90 per cent of
the passengers suffered injuries at all,
while of the many who were injured
the greater nun Der suffered only
slight hurts. The wreck of trsin of
all wooden cars IN this way would
have been followed by fire and horrors
of the worst form, with Tremendous
list of killed.
The steel cars did not buckle and
stood the test in a way to conform the
view that legislation ought to be en-
acted requiring all passenger cars TO be
built of the all steel pattern. The
trucks punched up through the floor,
as the impact of the cars was terrific
and nothing could withstand it, but
even here there might be further
Strengthening and the liability of in.
jury from this source greatly reduced.
The wreck was fearful Que and will
stand out in the history of such occur
rences, but the progress made ia the
direction of safety is most gratifying.
The question is raised whether the pro-
gress towards safer cars may not go
ahead out Of proportion to safety in the
matter of rails and methods of service
The broken rail and the misplaced
switch are still with US, and these and
other usual causes for accidents still
kill of mere persons annually than
would be lost in warfare. The investl-
CATION of the Warriors Ridge wreck,
therefore, will take the double form of
ascertaining just the cause for the oc-
currence and the exact conditions
brought about through the train being
made up of steel cars. The govern
ment should take part in the investi-
CATION. In these respects the tribute
Of death and suffering may be paid for
definite and ascertained progress
toward greater security in railroad
travel-Baltimore American.

The Coffee Habif.

In an editorial, Of which it will not
soon hear the last. The Outlook at
tempts TO explain away the inconsist-
ency between ex-President Reosevelt's
declarations against third term and
his present Willingness to accept third
term. It will be remembered that in
/ 1904, after being assured of his election,
Mr.. Roosevelt issued the following
statement:
"On the 4th of March next / shall
have served three and half years, and
this three and half years constitute
my first term. The wise custom which
limits the president to two terms re-
CARDS the rubstance and not the form,
and under 40 circumstances will be
candidate for or accept another nomi-
nation.u
Three years later Mr. Roosevelt said:
81 have not changed, and shall not
change, that decision thus announced.
The reunciation of the third term Is
now embarrassing and Mr.. Roosevelt's
spokesman, the Outlook, has under
taken to dissolve the Inconsistency in
coffee. 1t says;
I'm Mr.. Roosevelt's specific case it
is sometimes said that his statement
in 1904 and 1907 that he would not ac-
cept another nomination would make
his acceptance of q nomination this
year inson sistent. What Mr.. Roose-
welt said in 1904 and 1907 referred, Of
course. to consecutive third term. Mr..
| Roosevelt believes, although we do not
share his belief, that the settled policy
OF this country makes third consecu-
tive presidential term for any man i'm
polite, if not improper; but the Out
look has better appreciation of his in
telligence than to suppose that he had
ia 1904 or has now the slightest idea of
of definining third term except in
the way in which we have here denied
it. The situation may perhaps be
made clear by homely illustration.
When man says at breakfast Ia the
morning. No, THANH you, | will not
take any more, it does not mean that
he will not take any more coffee to-
morrow morning, or next week, or
next month, or next year
TO call this piece OF pettlfogglng IN
genious would dignity it. 1t is about
MS absurd an excuse as WAS ever adj
vanced in defense OF an inexcusable
! proposition, but the coffee illustration
is the most exquisite part OF this in
tellectual morsel.
Would it not be well for the Outlook
TO go a step further aud tell US how
many cups of Coffee Mr.. Roosevelt
needs for his second meal. fla cup

breakfast how many cups will he re-
gard as sufficient for dinner? And is
there supper still ahead of hlm? If

the Outlook may be able TO reason out

HE KNEW HIS BUSINESS.

Here is a story of Andrew Jackson
which j. w. Forney tells in his "Anec-
dotes of Public Men," and which,
strange as it may seem, was favor
tie of James Buchanan.
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1884, to the court of
which country he had been sent by
Jackson in 1882, and Immediately fol-
lowing his election to the Senate, he
called upon "Old Hickory" with fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-
sent to the head of the American ma
ton.
Leaving her in the reception-room
downstairs, he assembled to the Presi-
dents private quarters, where he
found General Jackson unshaved, un-
kempt, in his dressing-gown, with his
slippered feet on the fender, before
blazing wood fire, smoking corncob
pipe of the old Southern pattern.
He stated his object, and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr.. Buch-
anan desired to present.
Mr.. Buchanan was always careful
of his personal appearance, and in
some respects was sort of mascu-
line Miss Fribbe, addicted to spotless
cravats and huge collars, rather proud
of foot small for man of his large
stature, and to the last of his life
what the ladies would call ga very
good figure"
Having just returned from visit
to the fashionable circles of the Con-
tinent, after years of thorough inter
course with the etiquette of one of
the stateliest courts in Europe, he
was somewhat shocked at the idea
of the President meeting the eminent
English lady in such guise, and ven
tured to ask if General Jackson did
not intend to change his attire. There
upon the old warrior rose, with his
long pipe in his hand, and deliberately
knocking the ashes out of the bowl,
said to his friend:
Buchanan, I want to give little
piece of advice, which hope you will
remember I knew man once who
made fortune by attending to his
own business. Tell the lady / will
see her presently"
| The man who became President in
1857 was fond of saying that this re-
mark of Andrew Jackson Inundated
him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received.
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge, and in very short
time President Jackson entered the
room, dressed i'm full suit of black,

which she has been accustomed. She
must become acquainted with the
cold, hard realities of life probably do
the cooking and homework, relinquish
her Paris frocks and fine lingerie and
little pleasures to which she is accus-
toned as most people to bread and
butter. This goes hard to the girl
brought up in idleness and luxury.
1t is the exceptional girl who can
find life joyous in the face of it.
With the poor girl who marries a
wealthy man, the case is apt to be diff
ferent. Any girl can accustom herself
to wealth and the man is likely to be
and culture or if he is fastidious, the
girl must have satisfied him on these
points, or he wouldn't have married
her. Even in these cases, if the girl
does not fit satisfactorily into her new
surroundings in the course of time,
even the man is apt to see the mis-
take he has made.
The marriage of people of widely
different social positions is a risky
proposition unless the couple are ex-
ceptional people. Though there is an
old saying that love levels all ranks;
certain practical things of everyday
living will jar and fret until love
wears exceedingly thin. Where of
course each finds in the other a de-
lightful, congenial companion, when
they find they can meet on an equal
footing of likes and dislikes, educa-
ton and tastes in general, social posi-
tons can be thrown-to the wind. But
where their bringing up makes them
see life from entirely different view
points and live it in entirely different
ways, then their marriage is not likely
to prove happy, or if it does eventu-
ally, it will be only after all the rough
edges and inequalities have been worn
off by much friction.
