John Brown, residence unknown,
took on too liberal a supply of crazy

throw himself into the river. When
dragged out he jumped face down in

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The statisticians of the country are
now trying to solve the problems pos
sible at the coming election of the
president
1t will require at least 266 elec-
toral votes in order to elect pres
ident. Should no one get that num-
ber in the electoral college then the
election goes to the present house
Of representatives which will vote by
states, that is, each state will havs
but one vote. The vote Of each state
,yill be determined by the members
of congress from each state. At the
present time the Democrats control
20 states and the Republicans the
same number. Four states, Maine,
Rhode Island, Nebraska and New
Mexico are tied, each having an equal
number of Democrats and Republi-
cans in the house. If the house is
unable to give any person a major
ity no president can be elected.
On the other hand the election of
the vice president has failed also in
the electoral college and the senate
is required to vote for the two hav-
ing the highest votes in the elector-
raj college. The present senate is
Republican and it is probable that
either Sherman or johnson would be
selected.

CONFESSION A SURPRISE

The people of San Juan county,
Colorado, were given surprise
when Mrs. Rosa Dallavalla confess
ed that she fired the shot that
caused the death of her husband.
She insists that he came home drunk
and threatened her life and that she
shot him.
Those who believe her story are
inclined to think that Pangranzi
was trying to shield her when he
confessed that he killed Dallavalla.
These two confessions are somewhat
confusing, but many who have fol-
lowed the evidence and the events
connected with the finding of the
skeleton are inclined to believe the
woman's story.
1t is said that her story may have
much to do with developing senti-
ment in favor Of the accused, and

PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MORE
PEOPLE ON FARMS.

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, writes an interesting article
in the current issue of his periodical
on the causes that are back of the
high cost of living. Following is an
extract:
"What we want to know is why
there are not more people on the
farms. have just read in magazine
the explanation-they are all stirred
up about it-that all the available
land is taken up That is true if
fencing, and owning, and cut-and-cov-
ering is taking up But any farmer
knows that there is room for twice,
three times, as many people on the
farms as are there now. heard Mr.
John w. Bookwalter of Springfield
and the rest of the world read pa
per on this subject last winter. He
called the attention of his hearers to
the rush of people to the cities ~
great danger to the world-to civili-
zation.
"He seemed to miss the effect he
himself has had on this matter of the
rush of people to the cities. Mr..
Bookwalter possesses from 10000 to
10000 acres of farmland. On this
immense domain there live probably
from a thousand to fifteen hundred
people. This is in Nebraska. In Ne

OBJECTs TO OLD VETERANS.

O'Donnell, candidate for the long
term for United States senator, is
campaigning the state and explain
ing to the people why he should re-
ceive the Democratic votes at the
primary. He says that both Adams
and Shafroth are perpetual office
seekers and that Shafroth has held
some office in Colorado for the last
20 years and has been elected in turn
by the Republicans, the silver Re-
publicans and the Democrats to con-
gress and as governor of this state
and still is not satisfied.
Then too, there is that feeling that
when man has held a position for
a number of years he can serve the
people to better advantage than
can a new man.
When it is considered that any one
dislikes to change his vocation in life
and for other reasons assigned, is it
any wonder that such men as SEN
ator 1fllman of South Carolina, who
is now in his declining years, should
prefer, request and entreat that he
be permitted to die in harness?

TEMPERATURES UP AGAIN


The reports show that the people
of the eastern and central portions
of the country have had another hot
spell The thermometer in many
places going above the 100 mark. The
usual number of prostrations are
reported.
The people In those sections are
always glad to see the indications
of autumn although they dread
terrors of the fierce winter months.
When winter is on with its bit
ter cold the people are anxious for
spring even though it be character
ized by cold winds and rains. There
are not many months in the year
when one can really enjoy the climate
there.
How different in this state where
our autumns are not at all severe
and where our summers are neith-
er uncomfortabl cool nor disagree
ably hot. The spring and autumn
seasons are most ideal and yet not
much more so than our pleasant sum-
mers.
The dryness of the atmosphere,
the influence of the mountains and
the altitude make this climate the
finest in the world. The climate of
the sea coast resorts are not COM
pared with the climate of our noun
tain resorts, and the only reason why
more tourists frequent the sea coast
is because of better roads there than
in the mountains.

"What would be the effect on the

BIG VOTE DESIRED.

Word comes from headquarters
that light vote in the primaries
on the tenth is expected throughout
the state. There is no good reason
for this announcement and thu only
reason that can be given is that her e.
tofore the people not deeply inter
ested in the results of primaries hay e
been in the habit of neglecting to
attend.
Those who predict light vote for
get that the old time primary is a
thing of the past and that on the
tenth we will have direct primary
in which the voters can go into the
voting places and cast secret bal
lot for their party choice just as
they may cast secret ballot in No
vember for those of their choice.
The voters should remember that
there are those who are watching t.
see how many votes are polled in the
primary. If good big vote is not
polled these people will go before
the next legislature asking that we
go back to the old system. 1t should
be the duty Of every good citizen to
go to the primary on the tenth and
cast ballot for those Of your choice
on your party ticket.
1t is much more important that all
go to the polls this time as direct
primaries are being weighed fol-
what they are worth in this state
In those states where they have triet
the direct primary there is no de.
mand for the old system. There
should be none in Colorado.

ALL GUILTY

Now comes W. R. Hearst and says
while the Democrats and a few Re-
publicans would investigate the funds
received by the Republicans from
the Standard Oil company and 9TH
ers letm also investigate the
funds received by various Democrat
ic people in 1904 and again in 1908.
Much to the disgust of the peo-
pie of this country the big parties
of this nation have accepted from
the large corporations campaign
funds. There has been a growing
sentiment against this practice in
both parties for several years and
the time has about come when this
kind of business will not tolerated
1t has been the custom of parties
in this country to receive donations
for the purpose of carrying on po-
litical campaigns. There never has
been a limit put upon this amount
and naturally the wealthy used this
means of controlling the various
parties simply by the good will which
they presumed to buy with money.
Of course, the party that losts al
ways puts up big howl about the
winning party getting the election
because they got more money from
the wealthy.
The Democrats claimed that the
big corporations gave more to the
Republican campaign fund in 1904
and 1908 than they did to the Demo.

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

At no time in the history of the
United States has there been a
stronger sentiment in favor of in
dependent voting than there is to.
day. Upon every hand you can real
ize the force of this condition in
modern politics.
Twenty-Five years ago if Repub-
lican talked about scratching a name
on his ticket he was accused of be-
ing not good citizen. The same
was true of Democrat. 1t was nec-
essary for you to be either stall
wart Democrat or a hide bound Re-
publican. There was no intermediate
ground. 1t was vote for the yell
low dog if necessary on your own
ticket.
Today 1t is different and as re-
suit it is almost impossible for the
yellow dog of quarter of a CEN
tury ago to get on ticket. So
much for human progress.
Should a man of bad character
get on a ticket in these days he is
almost sure to find the Independent
vote against him at the election and
he is likely to be cast into political
oblivion.
Republicans and Democrats alike
should consider well this Independent
vote when they go to the primaries
on the tenth. They should remem-
ber that about one-third or more of
the voters of this state owe no al
legiance to any party and will make
up their own ticket.
