SchoolhOuses have all been equipped with bubble fountains and sanitary towels, and public buildings have drinking cups.

Oil was used on all the principal streets during last summer instead Of water as was formerly the custom. This seems very satisfactory and successful way of solving the dust problem during the summer months. A great improvement in the condition of the macadam streets would result if they were well cleaned before the oil was applied.

very beneficial to the people of

Albert LaSalle and Miss Lelah
Thompson were married at 900
O'Clock Wednesday morning Sep

The wedding occurred at the
home of the bride, who is the
daughter of Mrs. Nellie Thomp-
son, living southwest of town.
She was a teacher of vocal music
in our high school last year and
is a young lady of refinement
and culture. A pleasing person
ality has won for her a host of
friends who wish her all the joys
of life in this new relationship
with the young man who has
pledged his love, fidelity and pro-
lection to her.
Mr.. LaSalle has been a resi-
dent in the vicinity of Kit Carson
and is we'll and favora5ly known.
The happy young couple boarded
the noon train for Denver and
from there will go to Beatrice,

Eastern Colorado to the Fore.
The success of eastern Colorado
as an agricultural territory is
assured. Of course we do not
desire to convey the impression
that there will be such crops
there every year as there are
this yea.. This is an exception,
not only in eastern Colorado, but
all over the country. But we do
say, that as a result of the edu-
cational work done by the Rock
Island railroad and other interests
the farmers of eastern Colorado
are prepared to meet every
weather condition and to make a
success of their farms year after
year.
This is not a guess. 1t is based
upon the experience of some of
eastern Colorado's farmers for a
period of many years. They have
grown good crops and have made
money every year despite the
fact that the three years preced-
ing this were perhaps the most
unfavorable for agriculture ever

conditions which render horses
and mules from such state liable
to convey such diseases.
1t is therefore ordered that the inn
portation into Colorado or the move
ment within this state of all horses
and mules from said State of Kansas
shall be prohibited, unless accom-
panied by q certificate of health given
by the State Board ofStock Inspection
Commissioners, or theirduly author
lied agent, or by the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry, who shall
examine and inspect all such horses
and mules previous to the giving of
such certificate, under the rules and
regulations authorized by law. And
I do hereby warn all corporations,
persons and companies and their
agents and employees proposing to
bring such animals into the State of
Colorado, or to move the same within

Long Live the Primary

Lons Live the Primary
The primary is over the smoke
Of battle has cleared away and
the people have won. Long live
the primary, for the first time in
the history Of the state, the
people and not a few political
.tricksters..' were given the OPP
portunity o f selecting their own
candidates, and how wiseley the
people acted in the execrise of
that privilege is shown by the
good judgement used and the
good men in both partiesselected.
There are voters in both parties
that diden't get every man they
were for, but in the main the peo-
pie are generally satisfied with
the result. AS far as the demo-
crat party is concerned we think
the candidates selected are nearly
to the man, if not quite SO. of
such a general character as to
warrant support and we hope the
party will line up for the ticket
along such reasonable lines as
their good judgement directs
them.
There are good men on the re-
publican ticket the people have
selected and generally speaking
they are men whom the dissatis-
fed element of any other party
could support and be right, but
because you have not nominated
every man in your own party that
you wanted is not a good argu-
ment why you should not support
those candidates in your own
party the majority of the people
at the primary have selected.
It has always been the practice
in this county among both demo-
Gratis and republicans alike to
vote a mixed ticket for the reason
that the voters prefer in their
honest judgement to support the
man that is honest, capable and
efficient and can't be handled by
any gang no matter what party
he is in, rather than to abide by
the decisions of conventions.
Where the means used were
sinister and for the purpose of
placing candidates on the ticket
that could be depended on to
foster the avarice of the gang,
and themselves instead of pro-
tecting the rights and interests
of the people they were elected
and sworn to honestly serve.
We want to say that we admire
this principle in any man and if
it was the prevailing custom in
all parties we would seldom have
a dishonest man, or a light
fingered, designing CRATER in
office. 1t is all right to mix your
ticket, if there has been nomi-
mated by your party men whom
you are certain are not the right
kind of material to be entrusted
with the peoples business, by
reason of inability, the lack of
education. incompetency or a
leaning, to special privilege in
favor Of a few. bu t unless
these objections appear to your
knowledge, w e think it h e
better part Of wis d ON for
democrats to make haste slowly
and beguided by a better
judgement than personal feeling.

After constant association with Mr..
Panton for number of years We are
sorry to see him leave Duluth. He
Is the sort of citizen that is missed
from any community in which he has
lived
Public spirited, patriotic, upright
and fa1r, he made many, friends at the
mead OF the lakes. It is with deep re-
gret that, many Duluthians learned
tnat ne was to leave the city. v
Under his mana cement the Panton
& White company expanded and built
up one Of the largest and most popu-
lar trading posts in the city. He was
one OF the first to adopt the. early
closing movement. He gave it his
hearty endorsement and worked with
those interested in the movement at
the time.
The working people were the best
customers of the big store. The Labor
world is sorry that Mr.. Panton left
Duluth and we have nothing but the
best wishes for him in his new loca-
ton.
The best and most cordial relations
existed between Mr.. Panton and the
Labor World. He believed in the pa-
per and its purpose. He used the ad-
