Aside from the fact that we must
necessarily cross three mountain
ranges to reach the markets of Denver
and that vicinity, there is the further
fact that, when those markets are
reached, we are in direct competition
with local producers of substantially
the same agricultural products pro-
duced by us, and, even if these mar
ketts were as easily reached as the
markets to the south, they would not
be as good, for the reasons indicated.
Your attention is called to this, for
the purpose of showing the reasons
for our earnestness and insistence
upon the completion of this road.
Your committee, we understand,
shared our confidence that the compile
tion of this road will very largely in
crease the population and production
of this country, and that new bust
ness would thereby be built up suf-
ficient to justify the building of the
road, if the present business could not
be diverted in that direction.
The report shows, we think, that
there is now sufficient business to JUS
tify the construction of the short line
between Pennington and Gallup
There is no reason why practically all
Of our business should not be done

instead of with Denver and Pueblo.

A TITANIC MEMORIAL.

A movement is on foot to erect in
Washington, D. c., memorial mon
ument to the brave men who lost
their lives in the recent sea disas-
ter. The movement has been start
ed by the women of the capital city
and only the women of the nation
are to be allowed to subscribe for
the fund.
The enterprise will doubtless meet
with success and the memorial be-
come material reminder of Amer
lean heroism. But in thinking over
the matter one cannot help but
wonder if the men whose lives were
sacrificed on the Titanic had a
voice in the matter If they would
not demand from the men of the ma
ton a more practical memorial in
the form of legislation which would
make steamship companies more re-
sponsible for the lives of their pas
sengers and SO force them to great
er care in the prevention of disas-
ter and in the provision of better
life saving service on their boats.

MEXICAN WAR. SCARE.

newspaper war and rumors of more

leo. 1t is difficult to understand

still in the memory of Mexican vet
Grams how the Yankee generals with
only a handful of real fighters
brought them to their knees In
1867. The little furry now being
exploited is at most a movement on
the part of the United States gov
eminent and that of France to pro-
tect their several interests against
destruction by Mexican bandits. The
Mexican authorities are not court

HON. PAUL STILLMAN.
Hon. Paul stillman of jefferson

| Hon. Paul Stillman of Jefferson,
who wants to go to congress from
this district, is making friends
wherever he goes and the indica-
lions are that he will be a formid-
able candidate at the June primar-
les. He is a man Of high character,
lofty ideals and much personal
| worth and should the district honor
him with commission to represent
| it in the national house he will
wear the honor with credit to him
self and in the interest of the peo-
Il pie whom he shall serve.
Mr.. Stillman has three times been
elected to the state. legislature from
Greene county and every time by
increased majorities. This shows he
is appreciated by his neighbors and
that he enjoys in fullest degree the
confidence of those among whom he
has lived many years and who
know his abilities and accomplish
ments. In the first session of the
house of which he was member
he took rank as leader and it is
due to his efforts, more than to the
efforts of any of his associates, that
the anti-grain trust bill was fought
to successful issue in the 32nd
general assembly. The old Grain
Dealers Association was a menace to
the farmers and a reproach to the
state. 1t demanded unjust toll from
every bushel of grain bought and
sold and its dissolution was vic
tory for the agricultural interests of
Iowa and for fair dealing and hon
est commercial methods. The Grain
Dealers Association of Iowa was one
of the biggest and most powerful
organizations in the country. It had
unlimited means and could dictate
alike to railroads and producers. 1t
received favors from the roads in
the way of rebates and was equip
ped with the sinews to drive honest
competition from the field. 1t could
get cars to carry it's grain when the
private shipper was told there was
"car famine" and when none but
the favored ones could get such ac-I
commodations. For the single SER
vice of leading in the fight to break
up this gigantic trust the people of
the Tenth district owe Mr.. Stillman
at least good will and grateful ack-
He also took con-
spicuous part in the advocacy of the
statewide primary, the anti-pass
bill, the two-cent fare law and other
measures of general public interest.
After having served in the legis-
lature at two sessions Mr.. Stillman
was elected speaker of the house of
the saith general assembly without
a dissenting vote and now occupies

ever favors flowed from their rela-
tions. Yet he could not rise to adj
init. He was and is bound by all
the claims of lifetime of easy-go-
ing habit to let things go SO long
as they do not involve official facts
that call for immediate perfunctory
proscribed action.

en- general satisfaction and has won
the confidence and respect of his as
sociates by his fair and impartial
ruling, and recognition of his abil-
tiles by his prompt decisions and
clear grasp of the various and per-
picking questions that constantly
confront the presiding officer OF
such a body. And to the credit OF
Mr.. Stillman it can be truthfully
said that he secured the honor OF
the speakership without making a
pledge and without giving hint as
to the personnel of the various COM
mittees which the speaker is author
ICED to name. He succeeded admir-
ably in selecting committees that
won the approval of his colleagues
and that demonstrated his ability
as a student of human character.
Being gentleman of unostenta-
tious demeanor, somewhat retiring
in disposition, Mr.. Stillman has in
dulged in no grandstanding and is
not making a campaign with a
Grassland accompaniment, but he is
winning friends and the people of
the Tenth district are being con-
WINGED that he possesses good abil-
| ity and that he would prove a
| worthy representative of one of the
most Intelligent and largest dis
tricts, numerically considered, in
the United States. Mr.. Stillman not
only has record of voting right"
but he also has a record of leading
Tight. 1t is being heralded over the
district with great gusto that our
present representative in congress
has voted right upon every occa-
sion and much emphasis is being
put upon the fact, as though that
We're something unusual for the av-
erage progressive Iowa congress
man. All a member of the lower
house of congress from Iowa has to
do to vote right is to follow the
lead of Senator Cummins, and if
voting right" is to be the standard
of qualification there are ten or fif-
teen thousand republicans in the
district and from ten to fifteen hun
bred in Hamilton county who ought
to go to congress and who could fill
the. position as creditably and as
satisfactorily as it is now being fill
ed. The Tenth district is entitled
" ne Iepl eStuLcu Ill COuSIeSS ny d
man who can help Cummins and
other leaders, who can lead in the
house upon occasion and who is de-
pendable at all times Mr.. Still
mans record in the Iowa legislature
proves conclusively that he is such
a man and the testimony of his
home people bears witness to his in
tegrity, his calibre, his industry
and his standing as leader
Mr.. Stillman is not a politician
in the sense that he is a good organ
izer and wire-puller, but he is a
politician in the sense of being vers-
ed in the science of government and
Informed upon the public issues of
the day. If the people see fit to
call him to the higher station he
will surely prove worthy of the
trust and demonstrate that public
Judgment and confidence were not
misplaced.
