A number of Republicans are pre-

doubt the convention held at Colorado
Springs was not representative one,
but it is not the proper thing to do
to sleep on your rights until other
people have made conditions favora-

them. Those Republicans should have
shown that they had courage to fight
for Roosevelt if they favored him at

CAN'T BE TRUE.

Superintendent Thomas Hamor of
the local fish hatchery sent some 20,-
900 young fish out on the Silverton
train this morning to lockwood on
their way to their new home in Elec-
ira lakes. The hatchery obtained a
great deal of spawn from the lakes
last fall, and were returning fish in
payment.
We heard it rumored that there
isn't fisherman in the entire club
membership, and consequently the
lakes must be kept well stocked so
as to give the would-be anglers a
chance. What dreadfully cruel things

farmer, departed for the Ignacio
farm this morning with can of
syrup Chats what it looked like) and
a feather. Just what he intended to
do with his merchandise, we failed to
discover on account of the train de
parting too soon this morning, We
do not, however, feel like insisting on
the railroad changing the time right
away, as they have just recently ar
ranged for the eastern to depart at 8
a. m. instead Of 1880 n. m. He who

There are some things not to be un-

why Taft should get sixteen votes in
Iowa to Cummin's ten when in the

Such inconsistencies is what has done

There is considerable uneasiness in
the Democratic ranks. The recent an
nouncement of the New York World,
one of the biggest papers in the coun-
try, that Governor Wilson of New Jer-
sey is the only man that has any
chance to defeat Roosevelt, has stirred
up matters in the Democratic camps
and particularly in the camp of the
Missourian, who has felt that he had
the nomination for president in his
pocket. The influence of the big east
ern dailies may cause Clark's popu-
larity to wane. Many Democrats open
ly assert that Clark can not be elect
ed and that he will not be nominated.

There is less talk now Of dark
horse at the Chicago convention than
there was some time ago. Appar-
emily there is a disposition on the part

it is found that neither Taft nor
Roosevelt has clear majority on the

1t is not for us to criticise the Re

the peculiar condition of politics in
Ohio. However, we feel justified in
criticising those who are responsible
for manipulating the political machin-

a state convention held within ten

The South Dakota vote gives cvi-
dence of the fact that La Follettes
influence did not get far away from
Wisconsin. Had not North Dakota
had its primaries early La Toilette
would have received no more consid-

Dakota or Minnesota. Early in the
game many had no idea of the popu-

Piece Work Not Satisfactorily.

Mr.. Editor:-I notice the County
Commissioners are to build a con-
crete road TO the Country Club SO that
the automobilists and those who own
carriages can take nice easy drives to
the Country Club, and this in the
face of the fact that the county roads
leading into the city, over Which the
farmers must travel, are in very bad
condition. Shouldn't this money be
spent on roads and bridges where it
would benefit the general public?
The city of Raleigh is overdrawn
about $4,000 and still the city ia
theirs have decided to buy automo-
bile trucks for the fire department,
and then furnish the chief of the fire
department with an automobile, all
of which will cost about $50, 900, and
still the most of the streets of the
city are almost impossible in bad
weather. 1t appears that the money
in city and county are not spent to
best advantage.
