The Time to Stop Your
Ad IS the Day Your
Property is Sold

If every one who had property to
sell followed the plan of advertising it
continuously and persistently UNTIL
IT IS SOLD, no one would ever feel
property poor" And, while occasion
ally an ad might have to be repeated a
score or more Of times, the cost Of it
would be but trihing compared to the
y advantage of finding the buyer to whom
that particular property WOULD BE
A BARGAIN at, the price asked.
All property in or near this city
IS SALABLE. Thus the RULE OF
ADVERTISING YOUR PROPERTY
UNTIL 1T IS SOLD is safe and pru-
dent one. OF course, the best time to
BEGIN is NOW-and, as suggested,
the ONLY time to stop is when your
sale is made!

Munsey's Urges New
Political Alignments

In the United states, the bi-party
system Is strongly 'entrenched-so
strongly that during the last nifty
years 1t has never been seriously
shaken" says Munsey's Magazine ed
itorlally. Germany and England
have the advantage of US, in that
their party division, generally speak
ing, places the conservatives on one one
side and, the progressives on the
other side of the dividing line; while
in this country we have conservative
Democrats and progressive Demo :.
Gratis, conservative Republicans and
progressive Republicans, and each OF
these factions has its subdivisions
into various shades of opinion.
What we need, more than anything
else, is to get division into pro-
gressives and conserva tives, so that
there shall be a national lineup on
opposite sides Of the most significant
line of demarcation between oppos-
ing political elements"

Trapped by means OF decoy letter
which had been placed In the mails by
postal inspectors, II. Linden Wheatley,
a clerk employed In the Alexandria
postoffice for the last eight years, was
arrested by Inspectors Mosby and Rob-
inson Just as he was leaving the office

the clerks person, along with SLIPS.
For a period of several years various
amounts of money have been missed
from the mails. Inspectors were de-
tailed on the case, and 1t was not until
yesterday that sufficient evidence was
gained to warrant the mans arrest. In

to fictitious person In Atlantic City :.
The bag was purposely thrown off at
Alexandria, and the Inspectors were
posted at ventilators, through which
they could perceive its handling.

letter, extracted the money, resealing II,
and placing IL back In the pouch, mark
ing 1t "Missent" .-
When arrested, the young man denied
the charge, stating that at the proper
time he would explain.

Denver, Sept. 1.-THE regular
monthly meeting of the state board
Of paIdons will be held tomorrow
with Governor .Shafroth presiding.
There are number of cases to
come before the board, several OF
which are murder cases.
Clemency is to be asked by William
and James Byram, serving sentences
OF from l5 to 25 years in the peni-
tentiary for the killing OF Della Dav-
oren about two years ago. The wom-
an was murdered in her home in the
red-light district. Robbery is said
to have been at the bottom of the
crime.
Harry Pike, who shot. with the in
tent to kill, Maezelle Ritter because
she refused to marry him, he being
already a married man. will ask for
pardon. Pike, after shooting the
woman, attempted to take his own
life, but failed. Both recovered from
their wounds.
Possibly the most interesting case
to be considered by the board is that
