Would it not be we'll and fair for
the Republican papers in the state
Of Colorado, while harping upon the
fact that the appropriations for the
various state institutions are being
paid very slow, to tell the truth and
the reason fer it? Would it not be
fairer and more in accord with the
ethics Of journalism, to state that
owing to the fact, that at the last
election, the people of Colorado de-
cided by ballot to issue sufficient
bonds to reimburse the school fund,
which owing to the profligate ex-
travagance and graft of a Republican
administration during the Seventh
General Assembly, generally referred
to as 1.-The Robber Seventh" was
robbed of more than 100000? Would
1t not be well to tell their readers
that this fund, belonging to the
school children of the state, was de-
pleted by venile and voracious
body of grafters. and that out of the
general fund of the state. the interest
upon these bonds? Let's play fair
boys, tell the truth. and when you
do. II you can make any political
capital out of the exploitation of a
fund providing for the education of
the rising generation. then. and only
then. are you welcome to it.

Congressman Rucker of Colorado,
has introduced three Homestead bills
in congress of vast Importance to
the people of the state and those
who contemplate settling here. One
bill, known as House Resolution,
16647, provides for a three year per-
iod of residence to prove up a home
stead Another bill includes some ad-
ditional advantages or privileges
which will aid the homesteader under
adverse conditions, to prove up.The
other bill provides for an appropria-
tion Of 100000 for Incidental and
other expenses which may arise in
the office of the United States sur
veyor General of Colorado. All of
these measures have been referred
to the proper committees and order
ed printed, and have good show
of becoming laws.

Ere another month passes the COM
munity will be in the midst of a
political campaign as the citizens
will this spring elect four aldermen
and a mayor. From the sentiment
expressed by several Of the leading
Republicans, it is doubtful if there
will be more than one ticket in the
field-the ens-Democratic. Two
OF the wheel horses of the Republi-
cans in the Observer office this
morning favored the denomination
and election of Mayor Cody and the
four aldermen whose terms expire.
Speaking for the Republican party,
the gentlemen said there was neither
the desire nor necessity for a change
in the personnel of the present coun-

FEELING THE PUBLIC PULSE.

Every four years the country at
large, and especially the political
leaders, engage in a pastime various
ly designated but which Is often re-
ferred to as feeling the public
pulse"
The operation is supposed to re-
veal the state of mind of the aver
age citizen, so that the men who
make and unmake presidents can
tell how said average citizen will
vote, and If he is minded to vote
wrong, how to induce him to look
at the matter from the right angle.
Feeling the public pulse is done
in various ways. One way is the
straw vote, but as the average cit
izen thinks himself good bit Of a
wag, he is likely to vote any old
kind of as straw just for fun. So
the straw vote is proverbially unre-
liable as barometer to foretell the
political future.
Another method of feeling the pub
lie pulse is to send a presidential
possibility through the country sound
ing a keynote. But this does not al
ways enable the political doctors to
give safe diagnosis, for the aver.
age citizen likes to make the great
man who is Grating for him feel
good, and unless things are mighty
blue in that region, or an attack
of rheumatism or dyspepsia sicklies
DER his merry nature, he is just
as likely as not to whoop it up as
hard for one presidential possibility
as for another.

THE HARDWARE SHOW
TO BE A HUMMER.

Few people realize the magnitude
OF the Hardware and Implement Ex-
position to be held in Denver the
week of Feb. 18th. Three was no
building in the city large enough to
house this monster display. The Ma
tional Amphitheatre where the stock
show was held and where this ex-
position will also take place covers
an entire block of ground. All this
will be required, as we'll as some of
the adjoining buildings, and even
tents will be erected outside for some
OF the implement displays. No exhi-
bitten like this one has ever been
held in Colorado before, and it is at
tracing attention from all parts of
the country. There will be exhibits
from far away New Englani,as well
as from California. Everything i'm
aginable made from iron and steel
will be on display as well as other
exhibits from all parts OF the COIN
try.
1t is hard to conceive of the many
different interesting and educative ex
hibits you will see. In addition to
this most interesting display there
will be much amusement for young
and old. A large stage more than 40
feet square has been erected and
programme of circus acts, vaudeville
theatrical attractions and novel feat
ures will take place both afternoon
and evening. A splendid band will
dispense music all the tina. Thou
sands of handsome souvenirs and
many beautiful and costly prizes will
be given away daily absolutely free.
Plan your trip to Denver to include
the Hardware and Implement Expo
sition the week of Feb. 10Th.

ana Governor Harmon In their home
state. In the last two weeks of the
campaign Ex-President Roosevelt, to-
gether with five members of the
presid ent's cabinet, was brought into
the Ohio campaign. and singularly
enough they visited no other states.
The overwhelming majority demon
strated no mistake was made in the
presidential endorsement.
The Chic executives victory in
1910 was won, because Of the excel.
| lence of the first Harmon admins
tration as governor. The accomplish
ments were, first, the swift and GER
tain uncoyering of graft. both petty
and great. and the punishment of pub
lie malefactors; and. second, his
prompt application Of economy and
business methods, starting at the
state house and reaching down
through all the various political SUBJ
divisions.
Ohio Democrats assert that, mas
much as the greatest achievements
OF the Harmon administration in
Ohio came after his magnificent VIC
tory in 1910. the present governor
has grown in popularity in his native
state. and with Judson Harmon at
the head of the Democratic national
ticket in 1912, the old Buckeye state,
that heretofore has been voting solid
ly for Republican presidents, will
cast her electoral vote for Judson
Harmon for president.
One only has to read newspaper
reports concerning the political sit
uation in New York and Indiana, the
other states needed to win,' to as
certain that Judson Harmon can car
ry both.
