so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW.

Perhaps no superintendent of pub
lie instruction that Colorado has ever
had has travelled the number of miles
that are accredited to the Hon. Helen
l.. Wixon. in visiting the schools of
the state. We do not know how many
miles our state superintendent has
journeyed during the eighteen months
of her term of office, but we are in
formed by those in position to know
that the number reaches high up into
the thousands.
The character of the state topog-
raphy makes many of the school dis
tricts practically inaccessible, since
there are any number that are not to
be reached except by fatiguing jour-
neys by team or on horseback. In
order to consume as little time as pos
sible (for the state superintendent
has multiplicity of duties), careful
planning has been necessary. Indeed,
there would be little wonder IL some
Of these hard trips to little rural
schools on the plains, or In the noun
tains, had been omitted No one would
have criticised, and the teachers and
directors Of the schools in question,
least of all.
There was apparently little for the
state superintendent to gain in max
7g the trips to these sparsely set
tied districts, and as a political as
set all the work and time involved
would count about zero. But Mrs.
Wixon considered that it was these
out-of-the-way and small rural schools
that needed her most, because these
were the cases where the influence of
personal contact, and the inspiration
that comes from meeting those high
up in ones profession, could seldom
be obtained, on account of the dis
tance from the centers Of civilization.
She might have considered that there
were other departments of her office
that would show up well in the pub
lie eye, and undoubtedly bring re-
turns in case Of political campaign,
to which she would necessarily be com
PEELED to give less attention if SO much
time was consumed in travelling.
We do not know that she even
thought of such thing, but with
many years of successful political
work back of her, it is doubtless true
that she understood the sacrifice she
was making, although that made no
difference in her plan of procedure.
Mrs. Wixon has always wanted to be
helpful, and the question of personal
gain was set aside from the first,
for as the writer well remembers as
early as five months after she took the
oath Of office she had started on this
plan, which is only one of the many
she has worked out during her term.
The teachers of the outlying dis
tricts whose schools she has visited
and sometimes taught (for she is very
democratic and easy to meet),
know her as a personal friend,
to whom they may write for advice
on troublesome subjects, sure that the
required help will always be received.

HOME FOR THE SUMNER.

Miss Carrie Craig, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. II. Craig of the Florida
mesa, came in on last nights eastern
from Douglas, Ariz., where she has
been teaching in the city schools for
the past two years. Since her school
closed, the last of May, Miss Craig
has been visiting friends and rela-
tives at Denver, Golden and Boulder.
Miss Craig reports conditions in
Mexico about the same. Border towns
are all quiet, save an occasional SNUG
Cling case, which the American troops
unearth. Principal fighting has taken
place in the interior and no trouble is
anticipated by the border towns un-
less Orozco is forced north by the
federals.

Henry J. Allen of Kansas arises to

vention which does not represent the
Republican party"
He asks the delegates that were in
structed for him to not take part in
the convention. But does not release
any delegate instructed for him from
voting for him.
Mr. Allen has now spoken for ten
minutes and there are cries Of "rimc

CHICAGO, June 22.-Theodore
Rooseveit's new national POI ,ical par
ty will be launched in about 81 weeks.
Colonel Roosevelt conferred with his
aides today and definitely decided to
organize the party in the shortest
time possible. The convention accord
ing to tentative plans VIII be held in
| Denver probably inc latter part of
July.
This action wls taken by Colonel
Roosevelt and his managers IN the face
of repeated warnings from certain fl
nancial interests whose representa-
tives were skeptical as to The ultimate
success of the movement. He told his
followers regardless of whom the Re
publicans convention nominated for
president there is demand for a new
party that he intended to be ia it.
Early in the day there was pro
posed a plan to hold trump con-
vention at the close of the Republican
convention
Rather than sacrifice the cliaIces
for the success of a proposed third
party, however, Colonel Roosevelt an
Eounced to his followers that it first
would be necessary to do considerable
missionary" work, and declared
against the scheme, against "bolt"
from the regular convention. As the
colonel is unalterably opposed to
agreeing to any candidate nominate j
by the convention as it is now con-
stituted there is absolutely no chance
of the Taft, Cummins, or La Toilette
factions affecting a compromise with
him.
Senator Kenyon, the campaign man
ager for Senator Cummins, had n
short conference with Colonel Roose-
welt. The proposition of a compro-
mise was put up to the Colonel and he
rejected it without qualification.
Mr.. Roosevelt told several of his fol-
lowers that the Taft forces had di
vided and that BOSS" Barnes of New
York is in control of the presidents s
adherents.
A short time before the convention
convened the Roosevelt followers
learned from their leaders that the
colonel had announced that majority
Of his advisers favored their party
idea, that the minority was wavering
and shortly would join the ranks Of
the Roosevelt progressive party, as
the new organization will 6e named.
