FOR SUPREME JUDGE
Tully Scott, Champion Of the
People, Asks for Your Vote
in the Primary. Is an Ideal
Progressive Democrat.

=
boast it makes to being progress
i've, is on trial in the nomination
of supreme judge.
The race for primary nomina-
tion is between Judge Tully
Scott, pioneer among radicals,
and Judge Dixon, a brother of N.
Walter, that pestiferous lawyer
who represents Evans and fights
every forward step Of the people.
Whatever claim the Colorado
democrats have on public conf
dence rests in no small degree
upon the work of Scott. When
its organization was in the hands
of grafters a nd corporations,
Scott fought-almost alone. In
every Office of public trust, his
words, votes and decisions have
been for the rights of the masses.
Within a year, as judge of
the appellate court, he has wiped
out more unjust precedents than
legislators have abolished in a
decade.
It was his decision that wiped
out the fellow servant" rule in
Colorado-an ancient trick of law
by which injured workers were
deprived of damage claims and
widows denied justice and
thrown helpless upon society. It
was bis decision that declared
monopoly of food prices a crime
and established as law the COM
mon right of society to protect
itself against organized robbery
a decision which has lined up
against him every trust, from
lumber to candy, will h their
pocketbooks open, to defeat him.
It was his decision which de-
clared that crooked officials could
not burden towns and cities, and
in the case of Aurora, proclaimed.
that communities have rights as
innocent purchasers" fully as
sacred as those tabled widows
and orphans" behind whom big
thieves have hidden with their
loot.
As Senator, Scott bore the
burnt of battle in the fight to
make his party progressive. Not
a little Of the credit given to Gov.
Shafroth belongs to Scott-for it
was Scott who stood in the open
and exposed the Denver machine
and its corporation alliances. 1t
was Scott who never quit, and
gave to Shafroth such opportuni-
ties as he seized, and others
which he overlooked, to serve the
people.
In his first session he stood
firm against the republican
majority and exposed their
servility to greed. In his second
he leveled his shafts at the faction
in his own party which had sup
planted these republican seryi-
tors. In both he had but one aim
and one guide-that the rights
of the people.
To defeat him, his own party
organization gathered from the
various corporations huge cor
ruption fund and went to Teller
county to corrupt the votes. Fail
ing in that, they stole from him
an honestly-won election.
There is no question or quibbla
as to where Scott stands. He
has never lodged. never hesi-
|tated, never evaded. He has

The Ancient Dracon.

The pterodactyl, whose fossil re mains have been found in the chalk at Cambridge, England, and elsewhere with a very varied spread of wings which in the largest specimens must have reached twenty-five feet, is al most idenucal with the dragon of fable. A batlike creature, with, an elevated body and long neck ending in an absurdly small head with a DOT tentous beak, 1t could run very swift ly, was a fish eater and could swim. or 1t flew by means of huge membra- nous wings, which connected its long fore quarters with it's hind legs. The pterodactyl evidently existed down to a comparatively recent geological peri, cd, and 1t is not at all improbable that the traditional dragon is described from the last living specimens as met with by primitive man.

Training an Elephant.

In training the elephant to perform tricks advantage is taken of the fact that the feet Of the animal are pecul- iarly sensitive and he dreads any 1n- jury to them. Many of his tricks are based upon this principle. Thus he is made to place one foot upon a low pedestal; then the other foot is tapped gently, and he raises this and places it beside the other-to get it out of harms way. The hind feet are treated similarly in turn, the front feet being hit every time they are placed on the ground. In this way all four feet are finally placed upon the tub. The trick of inducing an ele- phant to partake of a meal is very simple. Animals will naturally eat anything placed before them, and it is only necessary to open a bottle of pop" once or twice and present it by hand when the animal may be trusted to find out for himself how to get at its contents. In all such cases the essence of the training consists in inf nite patience, kindness and constant repetition, showing the animal over and over again how thing is done in precisely the same way and then fore Ing him to do it himself.-Scientifc American.

The island of St. Helena.

St. Helena nas been an island of ragedies-tragedies that have been lost sight of wailing over the Cor sican. On the second day of my visit the governor took me by carriage road through the turns over the island. At one point of our journey the road, in winding around spurs and ravines, formed a perfect w within the dis tance of few rods. The roads, though tortuous and steep, were fairly good, and l was struck with the amount of labor it must have cost to build them. The air on the heights was cool and bracing. It is said that since hanging for trivial offenses went out of fashion no one has died there. except from falling over the cliffs in old age or from being crushed by stones rolling on them from the steep mountains. Witches at one time were persistent at St. Helena, as with us in America in the days of Cotton Mather. At the present day crime is rare in the island.

In TIE Congressman a large race
now narrowed to an issue between
Claude LEngle and w. NJ. TOomer. the
lines were never more clearly drawn
between the cause of the common peO-
pie and the greed of the Especial inter
ests." Claude L'Engle may be. proba-
bly, is. the self-Selected candidate of
the people, but he is their candidat e
just the same. The interests know
they will have in him no friend at
court to do their dirty work. on the
contrary they know that he will be on
the job to expose their every attempt
to secure special privileges. w. VI.
Toomer, on the other hand. is the spe-
cially selected candidate of the "spe-
cial interests" There can be no doubt
of that In the event of his election
the cause of the common people in
Florida would get a set back from
which it would require generation to
recover The INTERESTS can fool
some people all the time, and all of
the people some of the time" but this
is one of the times when the attempt
to fool is too blamed fragrant to sue
coed in its design. You may begin now
to call him CONGRESSMAN L'EngIe.-

One day, got bottle Of Cardui. It
did me so much good, was surprised,

Before took Cardui, had headache

In the past fifty years, thousands Of

to tell of the benefit received from

Such testimony, from earnest women
surely indicates the great value of this

women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?

THE STAR WILL HELP

The Banner bewails the fact that
the progressive papers of the state,
while Iauding Milton for Withdrawing
from the race against Trammell do not
advise Hiibur9 to withdraw from the
contest against Clark.
There is merit in what the Banner
says Clark had 1928 votes out of
23262. or 3,046 majority over Hilburn.
and IL does look like putting the
people in the second district to unnec-
essary trouble to have TO go to the
polls again.
However, We notice that the Banner
is not advising Toomer TO get out OF
the race against LEngle. tho LEngle
had nearly A per cent of the vote, and
8 votes TO TONERS 2. which is much
bigger majority than Clark had over
Hilburn.
The Star supposes it is one of the
papers that the Banner alluded to,
rather reproachfully. as progressive.
so we will make our esteemed contem-
porary a proposition. II it will recon-
mend Mr.. Toomer to save the people
of the state some time and expense by
quitting the race against LEngle, the
Star will advise Mr.. Hilburn to come
down and let Frank Clark return &c
Washington in peace.
