GRATEFUL IN DEFEAT.

The writer, who was the Democrat
ic candidate for county Judge, and
who went down to defeat as the re.
suit of large number of misguided
members of his party voting for the
Republican candidate, desires to ex-
press his appreciation to friends for
their loyal support. Having been
nominated in the primary against
two worthy opponents, we concluded
that we were the choice of our parity
and naturally depended upon the sup
port of the party In the election.
Without the votes of the Democrats
it was impossible to win. We attri-
butte our defeat solely to the ''knif-
ing" we received at the polls, par
ticularly in the three precincts in the
city. While. we went down to defeat
at the hands of-not the Republi-
can-but the Democratic party, we
shall take our defeat gracefully, and
find consolation in the splendid vic
tory achieved by Democracy in the
nation and state, and in the election
of the majority of the candidates on
the Democratic county ticket, with
whom we were so pleasantly asso-
ciated during the campaign.

Gilpin county gave handsome mai
critics for the Democratic candi-
dates True, that three of the Re-
publican candidates were elected on
the county ticket, shame to some
misguided Democrats who have got
ten into the habit of scratching
their ticket. God only knows, why.
The candidates for county Judge,
clerk and recorder and superintend,
ents of schools on the local Republi-
can ticket are under great obliga-
tons to the Democratic voters of the
couaty for their election.
Barring the three offices named,
the result is a clean sweep for the
Democratic county ticket. Had all
the Democratic voters of the county
needed our advice and voted the tick
ct straight, our victory would have
been complete and we would have
been in line with the state ticket,
which won without scratch.

SWEEPING DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

Three Republicans Elected in

the campaign, in the election Tues
day the Democratic ticket won out
in the nation, state and county.
has so sweeping victory been re-
corded for any party. Thirty-nine
states with AIS electoral votes have
made Woodrow Wilson the nations
president. Roosevelt carried six
states with log electoral votes, while
little Willie Taft has but three
states to his credit that gave him
but IL votes in the electoral college.
These states were Vermont in the
east, and to their shame the states
of Utah and Idaho, both Mormon, in
the west.

ticket is elected to man. The I'm

once again come into their own.

The Tennis Fiasco.

There will be no disposition TO detract
from the victory won by the brilliant
tennis players of Australia against our
chosen team. The invincible Brookes
was not called upon to face Larned;
but his victory over the brilliant
and plucky Mclaughlin in desperate
match was sufficient evidence of his class.
The Davis cup rightly stays below the
line.
The real regret among tennis players
in this country will be over the collapse
of our team. Neither OF our singles
team was able to play on the final day,
Larned having strained tendon and
Beals Wright being reported as indis-
posed Thus one of the matches was
defaulted, and Mclaughlin was enable
to face Brool<es only through the sports
manship of the opposing team. OF
course, these final matches could
not have affected the result But such
quitting of the field does not make
pleasant reading and is not in accord
with the fighting quality of American
craftsmanship
There was much criticism Of the Amer
lean team when it was chosen, and that
criticism has not been removed by the
reports from New Zealand.-New York

A Generous Example.

Mrs. Fletcher d. Proctor and the heirs
OF the late governor have set splendid
example by their proposal to carry out
the provisions of an unexeeuted codicil
of Governor Proctor's will and devote
a generous sum of money from his es-
tate to the treasury of a worthy phil
anthropic institution in Burlington. To
be sure it may be said in all truth that
they do not need the money, but any
body that knows something of the Proc
tor household spirits knows full wen
that that is not the reason why the
money is being spent. 1t was manifest
" the late governors intention to make
this bequest--and that is enough for
them. Really the only point in this
affair for newspaper comment that does
not obtrude upon the sacredness of do
mestic plans and a family sorrow, is
the suggestion that all too many people
blessed with abundant means would not
hesitate to permit the legal technical
ity of an unexecuted eodieil to defeat
a good intention and thus retain the
money in the family purse st. Adams

An Estimate Of Bob Evans.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, who
died yesterday, had all the qualities that
go to make up irstclass fighting man
and popular hero. 1t has been said OF
him that he was "full of fight from his
toenails to his topknot," 1t might also
have been said that he was full OF
strange oaths and whimsical expressions
that caught the public ear every time ne
spoke. Withal, he was an excellent COM
mander, quick thinker, the sturdiest
kind of American and a good eomhna-
tion of the old time seadog and the mod,
ern commander. He it was who started
the Sweet Sixteen" around the world.
That was one of the finest assignments
a naval officer ever received in times OF
peace, but it was no child's job, and the
way in which Evans started his fleet to
the corners of the world was enough in
itself to fix his place in the history OF
the navy.-Boston Evening Herald.

Didn't Make Good.

"The annual report of the Vermont
state bank commissioner shows an in
crease in bank deposits of $5,042, 1927 So
the largest increase, with one excep-
ton, ever known in single year of
Vermont banking. For the past seven
or eight years, by the way, Vermont
has been a local option state. Portland
Eastern Argus.
OF course, the contemporary would not
have the reader gain the impression that
this increase in bank deposits was be-
cause Vermont was a local option state,
but rather that the increase was in spite
of it.
When the change in the liquor law
was being advocated in 1902, one of
the arguments earnestly advanced by
the opposition was that the departure
from prohibition would result in great
losses of popular savings, The results
have not borne out this gloomy proph-
ecy. To be sure, the state banks are
now operating under law exempting de-
posts from taxation to their owners.
so that large part of the increase IS
properly chargeable to money that has
been drawn from hiding by this liberal
statute. But even at that, all other
indications point to the usual, normally
healthy growth in savings bank deposits
here, year by year, liquor law or no
liquor law
The point is, simply. that the ante
election arguments against local option,
generally speaking, never have proved
themselves since we have had local OPP
ton and tested it.--St. Adams Messen-

Taft's Firm Statement.

The last word from the White House
Is as definite as could be desired VIII
the president withdraw as a candidate
for denomination? Nothing but death
can keep me out of the fight now
are the words reported yesterday as
coming from his lips. This is COM
mendable resolution. The president is
at least entitled to the judgment of
the patty convention upon his admin
istration and the uniform way in the
past, with one or two exceptions, like
that Of President Hayes, has been to
deliver the judgment by passing upon
the specific question of giving the presi-
dent denomination. MIR. Taft, having
done his best, simply declares that he
will not tamely lie down and eat out
of the hand of an ambitious rival. His
position is entitled to public respect,
II the Republican party does not de-
sire Mr.. Taft as its next candidate, its
national convention possesses the power
to reject him and turn to another

The value of crude magnesite mined in

logical survey as an advance chapter

States" for 1910. While the production
of the crude ore has materially in
| creased, the rapid rise in value is due
to the constantly growing demand Tor
the calcined product No crude ore IS
offered for sale, but after being ealcined
the output is used mainly in manufac-
turing paper from wood pulp; it is also
used in making artificial stone, iireprooi
flooring and thing, and in brick or plas-
ter form for lining furnaces and cover
ing steampipes. The entire front OF
one large building in San Francisco was
recently constructed Of nodded calcined
magnesite in blocks and ornaments. The
material was first calcined and then
ground to fine powder and was then
made into a plastic cement and nodded
in the desired forms. The fine waste
Of the crude ore mined is now being util-
lied at California chicken ranches az
substitute for oyster shells and other
substances fed to fowls for hardening
the eggshells.
California the Only Producer.
The only deposits of magnesite in the
United States which have been CONNER
ciallv utilized are those situated in the
valley and coast countries of Califor-
MIA, and the entire output is consumed
on the Pacific coast the cost of transpor-
tation to points east of the Rocky noun
tains being prohibitive. 1t is for this
reason that large quantities of raw and
calcined magnesite continue to be inn
ported from Greece, Hungary, and other
countries, the imports increasing each
year. 1t is the belief Of Frank l.. Hess,
Of the geological survey that the open
ing of the Panama canal will bring the
California magnesite into successful COM
petition in the entire United States
with the imported product.
According to Mr.. Yale's figures the
imports of magnesia and magnesite,
both calcined and crude, for 1910,
amounted to 356,5l2,243 pounds, valued
at Sl,57s,6 1888, an increase of l2l ,0T2.377
pounds, with value of $537 ,265 over
the amount imported for 1909. A copy
