Semi-weekly herald., 1912-11-25

And little Johnny VIII not be the only
one with pain.
With the headless ballot men like
Pearce will not win anything at the
polls.
Charley Thomas will not tbe able to
don senatorial clothes until after the
first of the year.
A crazy man can cause big stir
as vide recent scene at Los Angeles.
Made them all get busy.
The Herald is willing to wager that
| Denver will not vote bonded indebt-
edness for Newman Erb.
The Turkish armistitce did not last
long enough to give the contending
armies breathing spell.
| Governor Shafroth is now reported
---again--that he will not call an ex-
ira session. Good boy.
Little Johnny is dreaming of
Thanksgiving day with its turkey and
plum pudding.
| Get busy with your Christmas ad-
vertising. Make it easy for people to
do their shopping early.
| Days appear to be pretty short now,
but they will continue to shorten un-
til month from today-Dec. Il.
Several railroad officials are re-
ported on the carpet in Colorado for
giving passes illegally, also giving
rebates.
During recent week the American
Brotherhood of Cement Workers
issued charters to two new subordinate
unions of the trade.
With the four gunner joining Beck
er in the electric chair, maybe New
York criminals will wake up and take
notice. All honor to a courageous
prosecutor and thrice courageous jury.
1t is to be hoped Denver will soon
settle the commission form Of gov
ornment one way or the other. People
are getting tired of the daily har-
range in Denver papers.
California is still in doubt. How
ever, Wilson is not losing any sleep.
He feels confident of having suffi-
I cient electoral votes without the Gold
EN- state.
| Denver chamber of commerce is
making an active canvas for new
members. OrxAnization il nsceus~ry
TO keep city to the front and Du-
\rnngcites Should bear this in mind
According to the Denver Post, Les
lie Hubbard, who contested with Geo
. Lane for supremacy at the primaries
= for district attorney, is in Denver
seeking appointment to the court of
appeals. Leslie believes the only way
to get anything is to go after it.
Lead, zinc and silver have taken
quite tumble since election. The
: removal of the tariff will about put
half of the mines in the state out of
commission. At the same time every
mining county in Colorado cast a plu-
ralty vote for Woodrow Wilson.
The San Juan basin is attracting a
good deal of favorable attention these
days, but nothing compared to what
may be expected in few months
when the southern outlet becomes an
, assured fact, which in our mind, is
about as good as settled.
: The finding Of the four gunmen
guilty of murder in the first degree
reflects great credit on the jury and
prosecuting officers. Justice Goff is
also to be congratulated for pushing
aside all technicalities. The verdict
will have much to do in clarifying
the air of foul New York.
While the slaughter is heavy on both
sides, it is probably best that the
fight go to finish. The Turks need
a terrible thrashing. 1t is a pity,
however, the head ones do not get it
in the neck. They are living on the
fat of the land surrounded by harem
while the rank and file are fighting
to keep them in comfort.
| Denver officials are planning an
amendment to the charter regulating
saloons. The plan proposes license
J fee of $4,000 annually and limiting the
number to $50. Both propositions are
very good. The Herald favors cut
ting down the number of saloons,
graduating them according to popu-
| lation.
A cousin of President Wilson, re-
siding in Denver, has just returned
from an eastern trip, spending one day
with his honored cousin. The cousin
says the president abhors the spoils
system and no Republican officeholder
who is giving honest service and obey
ing the rules, need fear removal be-
fore the expiration of his term of
office.
Manitoba police are hunting man
who tied a young woman to a cows |
horns, the animal dragging the girl
through brush and trees, tearing off
her clothing. The animal, becoming
exhausted, fell, and partly crushed the
woman. She was finally rescued by
neighbors. Lynching or hanging for
such brute is altogether too tame. |
He should be served the same way
every day for month and then fed
on bread and water the rest of his |
life.
Looks like Shafroth is being guided |
by the politicians. He is said to he |
