Estes Gets Trip to Canon City

L. ]. Estes, county commissions
er. was convicted of embezzlement
In the county court and sentenced
TO from seven to nine years in the
penitentiary. f. c. Stevens, star
witness for Estes. entered a plea of
guilty TO the charge of perjury. He
will get from four to six years. BotA
of these gentlemen come from good
families and the conviction comes
as a surprise to all. Most everyone
thought the evidence would not be
strong enough to convict. but when
the star witness confessed to hav-
ing received roll of bills, consist
ing of $500. the defense began to
weaken and Estes pleaded guilty.

He had been spoken favorably of for
the state senate on the republican
ticket. He is the father OF three
little children. has a loving wife,
GOOD farm and was reasonably well
fxed in financial way. There SEEM
ed no reason in the world why he
should embezzle the public funds OF
mis- county. His career is one of the
inexplacable things that are con-
stantly happening. Thus his family
is broken up, his sorrowing wife
and children are broken hearted
and his life is ruined for no reason
in the world except that he could
not resist the temptation to dis
honestly add more money to his
store Thus practically young
man with life before him in bright
prospect. goes to his cell. The very
best he can hope for under the sent
ence is five years and four months
confinement. If he is good all the
time, one year and eight months
will be deducted for good behavior.

A Hopeful Message

That was . message Of cheer that
William Jennings Bryan brought to
tho people Of Weld county last Sat-
uaxiAy. Instead Of morbid, fault
finding and sour dissertation that
might be expected from . man who
three times has gone down to defeat
for tho presidency Of the United
States, there was the note Of hope
throuGhout and the clear deduction
Of . Travelled and observing mind
that the world is growing better
and that the democracy dreamed Of
By tho common people is slowly but
surely coudng into its own.
For the reflective mind there Is
meat In every line Of that great
speech. 1t was not . TRADE against
tho money power that many expect
ed, but . logical exposition Of the
progress the world has 'nnade with
I'm the last few years. And Bryan,
the thrice defeated man, has the su-
preme satisfaction Of seeing his
vievys adopted by the party opposite
to him in political faith and by the
very people that weer his undOinR
at the polls. His victory today Il
greater than IL he had been thrice
elected president. No satisfaction
20 Rreat could have come to him
any other way than by seeing his
theories put into practice success.
fully. And Bryan II big enough
man to know and IN aUDreciate that
his victory thus won II tho more
complete.
Perhaps the most significant fact
0f his visit was hts estimate Of Gov.

A PLEASING GLANCE

While Denver is in q turmoil over
politics, while the tariff is arousine
wild screeches throughout the state
and while petty squabbles of all
sorts are filling our waking hours,
1t is pleasant to turn aside for a
moment to get different perspec-
tive Of Colorado. While the press
dispatches from Colorado to other
parts OF the country may dngle
daily with strife and discomfort,
another herald, less potent perhaps,
but infinitely more gentle in his ut
terances, is showing what nature
iaas done for us OF northern Colo
radO.
He is Robertson with his trave-
lOgues.
Friday night at the Methodist
church, with picture and story, he
imprinted vividly ON the minds OF
the large audience present the
glories OF Estes park, which now is
in the linseligf.t through the efforts
being made to have 1t converted in
to n national playground similar to
the famous Yellowstone.
And Robertson travels far in the
course of a year and he tells his
story Of COlOrado's beauty spot 10
many. And those he tells it to are
the sort OF people that Colorado
wants to come here, either as home
seekers or visitors. The class OF
people that attend travelOxues are
a pretty good sort to lave any
where.
And while the press dispatches
may carry stories Of = civil war in
Denver during which the county
assessor had to g protected by the
state militia, Robertson Is giving his
message Of natures bounty and
showing the beauty Of a choice spot
in a favored state.
More emphasis on tho better
THINGS We have and less assitiuous
detail OF the less pleasing features
would be indefinitely more agree
able to the outside world and
equally more profitable to oursei-

ersOn doubtless Is for financial 0ain,

Is the wholesome enterprise that
makes better citizens Of those who
hear his message, and 1t gives tlae

the press.
