In the rush and hurry of mod
ern life do we think as much as
we might of thel happiness of
those who are growing old.
They have lost so much! Their
youth, often their health, most
of the friends and companions
who started with them on life's
journey, and yet we often grudge
them the brightness any joy we
might so easily put into their
lives. We will not stay to hear
the recollection of old and happy
days which they love to tell us;
we let them see so plainly that
their day is over, and ours. has
come! That those who have
borne the burden and heat of
the day, toiled and struggled and
worn themselves out for others.
should be left to feel lonely and
neglected in sorrow. We can
and ought, each and all, in our
own place and way, do some
thing to bring the glow of sum
mer and the remembrance of the
days of roses and love into the
lives fast nearing their winter
and their end.

Bloody Louisville.
Mamie Rogers.

The Evening Post publishes
the following summary Of crimes
of violence during single week
end" in Louisville:
Frank Hopewell shot and kill
ed Mrs. Mildred Boggess.
James Winburn stabbed Tom
McQuaid. Perhaps fatal.
Charles Goetz accused of strik-
ing wife over head With poker.
John J. Hennessy shot by
Oscar Mason. May~die.
Highwaymen hold up three
men. Another Sunday shooting
found its way in the print Mon
day and should be added to this
list.
Up in Bloody Breathitt" they
are fond of saying that Jackson,
known far and wide as the city
of sudden death" is no worse
than Louisville or Lexington.
There is difference. The
prominent citizens of a bluegrass
or beargrass city are not in the
dangeraof death that menace the
prominent citizens ola mountain
town, where prominence is more
dan gerous than ssobscurity. But
the highlands, the bluegrass and
the pond settlements" are
about alike in that they do little
to discourage crime, and leave
undone much that tends to en-
courage it.
AS long as convictions are as
rare as they are in Kentucky
there will be plenty of killing.
And dark and bloody Louisville,
where convictions are nearly as
rare as in Jackson, will continue
to have a record. Frankfort

Cen. Hitchcock is anxious to
make a reputation in office that
will long stand out for excellence
but it is possible tC attempt too
much at once. There is a wide
difference Of opinion about the
policy Of government operation of
public utilities, including the tel-
egraph. No government permits
the mail service to be in private
hands. Apart from that the
United States has not engaged in
any business to compete with
private enterprise.
If the country could have the
services of a Hitchcock indefinite
ly it might safely undertake al
most any business, but he is
mortal, while hunger for office
by the inefficient, and their in
efficient, and their success in
getting office, is eternal. The

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. -
The return of William Ran
dolph Hearst to the Democratic
party carries with it a powerful
influence. Mr.. Hearst is the
owner and publisher of great
newspapers in New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago, San Francisco and
with his clientel, (which runs into
millions, through his paper he
exercises a greater influence than
any other one man:in the United
States. He is fearless and
bold fighter and he has never
yet directed, his paper against
men prominent in public life
that he has not proven the
charges against them and in the
majority of the instances has
driven them from public life. He
has not onlylbeen a most relent-
less foe against grafters and cor
ruptioniSts, :but hassalways been
the most persistent and intelli-
gent fighter against trusts and
monopolies. Had he been nomi-
mated for President when Judge
Parker was named the party
would not have suffered the over
whelming defeat it sustained.
He has been pictured in this
part of the countrylas a rich man
unable to write @but buying his
talent. That has been exploded.
His campaign for Governor
against Heghes demonstrated his
remarkable ability as a speaker
and he has given multiplied evil
dence of oil sorts of sense and
ability. The News is glad to see
Mr. Hearst back in the Demo
cratic party and on the firing line.
This summer and fall his batter
les will be most effective for
Democratic success.-E Town

I the appropriation for a regimental post
at Fort Bliss would be passed during

that the war department mad come
to recognize FL Paso as the strategic
point for such a post.
Congressman Smith said:
I am here incidentally to make my
usual annual visit to Ell Paso to shake
hands with the people and to talk over
with them number of matters in
which they are interested, the irriga-
/ ton project, the question of an ap-
preparation for a new postoffice build
ing, and the enlargement of Fort

phant Butte dam is that the work of

visit the dam before my return home
so that may see for myself just what
progress has been made since my visit
there about year ago.
4 feel very confident that the efforts
1 have been making for the new post
office building will result in an ade-
Quate appropriation at the next ses-
am sure FL Paso can depend on this.
The enlargement of Fort Bliss has
been more difficult undertaking. In
military affairs matters of this sort
must first be got into the general
scheme of the war department before
any progress can be made in legisla-
ton. And in making up the general
scheme. of course, military considera-
tons outweigh those of a local COM
mercial nature, as they ought 1 am
glad to be able TO say, however, that
the war department has at last come
to recognize The necessity for the en-
largement OF Fort Bliss and will Cor
the first time ask congress at its next
session for a specific appropriation for
this purpose. / feel that the fight
has been won, and that we will be able
this winter to secure an appropriation
sufficient to enlarge Fort Bliss into
a regimental post
1T will be my pleasure to accompany
the FL Paso delegation to the National
Irrigation congress at Salt Lake CITY
I cannot think the congress would
entertain any resolution involving the
contention which certain interests in
Colorado seem to be making with re-
gard to the waters of the Rio Grande
That is so much in the nature of A
private dispute and it involves such
technical questions of law, hydro
gress would be going far beyond its
legitimate functions were it to take
any action thereon. Every one must
know that if the irrigation congress
should unwisely descend from general
policies into fractional strife its useful
ness would soon be at an end.
