TRIUMPHs OF WIRELESS
Triumphs Of the wireless in

Triumphs Of the wireless In res
cues from shipwreck:
Jan. %, 1909, 1,oo0 passengers
and the crew OF the Republic. saved
by wireless after collision in fog
with the Florida. Jack" Binns
wireless operator on the Republic
won fame by heroic conduct. Wreck
ed vessel rescued by the Baltic of
the White Star line.
September 3. 1910, 33 persons
rescued by Car Ferry summoned by
wireless to wrecked Pere Marquette.
Car Ferry steamer No. IS. off
Sheboygan, Wis. Two passengers
and 81 officers and crew drowned.
July 20, 1911. Canadian training
ship Niobe assisted in response to
wireless signals of distress when
wrecked off Yarmouth. N. s.
Aug. 3O,191l. 12 passengers of
the steamship Lexington rescued
from wrecked vessel off Hunting Is
land through wireless messages
sent by 16-year-old Jack" Sheets
The loss Of life on the Titanic
doubtless would have been much
larger but for the wireless appeals
for aid.
On the Titanic the wireless opera
tor who flashed rs. Y. S." when she
struck the iceberg, was ]. G. Phil
lips, formerly employed as wireless
operator on James Gordon Bennet's s
yacht. Later he worked on the
steamship Oceanic. from which he
was transferred to the new Titanic.
All steamships of consequence
are required to be equipped with
the wireless, which only a few years
ago seemed fanciful dream. BY an
act of congress passed June "a,
1910, all ocean-going steamers car
rying so passengers or more are re-
quired to have wireless apparatus
capable of transmitting messages at
least 100 miles. The Canadian law
IL applied to all passenger ships.

REMARKS ON GRAFT
To Greeley Tribune and Weld County
Tax paYerA:

Gentlemen:
have been a taxpayer in Weld county
for thirty years and have borne my por-
ton Of the burden Of graft I am glad
we have a newspaper like the Tribune
which has the grit and stamina to stand
out bold and alone for justice and the
undisputed rights Of the people. am
absolutely opposed to graft in any public
Office or otherwise. am informed by
good authority that the rnad fund has been
the store house for graft by both commits
sioners and road superintendents; that
hundseds and hundreds of dollars have
been paid road men from which the tax
payess never realized . uickels worth
Of benefit; that these monthly reports
have been presented by road superinten-
dents and allowed by the commissioners
when the ground was covered with snow
and frozen to q depth that made road
work utterly impossible. am opposed
to any road man drawing pay from the
county that he does not earn by actual
service. feel that county officer or
any other public officer is servant OF
the people and not the people a servant
Of the man believe the road man
should work just as hard for his money
from the the county as does the farmer
who pays the bulk of the taxes in tins
comfy. once heard road superinten-
dent say he always set up boz OF cigars
to the commissioners when his road re-
port was accepted in full. Nov, Brother
TaxfAyer, who indirectly paid for those
cigars? ]. F. Moody, west of Greeley
relates story conce, ming the building
Of small county bridge some years ago
In which the word graft appears. ASK
him about it.
The sky Is cloudy and the atmosphere
IL tainted with graft, which has been
drawn out aud show to the public ana
Taxpayers by the Greeley Tribune, and
1t IL the duty Of every citizen OF Weld
county to assist the Tribune in stamping
out this graft. II 1t can't be done under
republican administration. for Gods sake
let 40 6nd at the coming election some
honest democrats. l believe it to be
the solemn and sacred duty to God and
this great nation for every voter to voice
his sentiments to the public relative 'o
Weld county graft and try to establish
pure administration.

That Power Franchise

Within . short time the Greeley
Hydro Electric company will ask
the city council for . franchise 10
furnish power throughout the city
for lights, heat, power and what
ever else electricity can be used
for. A few days ago tho Tribune
Dr.inted a communication from a
well known business man Of the
city. whose name WAS withheld, in
which two important points were
nade-one that the service charge
proposed by the now corporation
was prohibitive to the little fellow
who might want power and the
other that there was no provision
for the city to receive any financial
benefit for granting the franchise
other than . cheap rate.
The merits Of the service charge
should be thoroughly gone into by
the aldermen and the Dsasaness men
Of the city before tas~ proposed
ordinance becomes . law. That is
q technical matter that appeals to
those who contemplate using power
but the other question, tl1at Of com-
pensation for the city. is one that
interests every citizen aad should
be investigated from every view
point.
A franchise that T. worth son,e-
thing to . company ought to he
worth paying for. What money the
city may receive u shared by every
reeielent In that 1t b spent for the
greatest good Of the greatest NUM-
her.

cation comes before t2ae council.
cMses given away. It has bees
repeatedly shown that public ser
vice franchises which are not CON
st<'ere<i so valuable when granted
become very valuable with thu
passing years. In most instances
the city does not realize any thing
no matter how valuable the fran
chises become after they have beeE
used. Hence It would appear thu,
the city should consider carefully
the future In allowing IA franchise
50 that 1t will not find itself in tll<

Every democratic voter in Weld

The central committee Mt ite

1t placed NO restrictions around the
voters. 1t invited the eypressiou Of
every voter Of democratic faith in

known.
Now 1t Is up to the democrats to

HEw 10 the LINE
County Commissioners.

Every few days brings additional
proof that the grand jury which in-
yestipated the affairs Of Weld
county last fall started something.
And. as the district attorney keeps
twisting the prob, 49, deeper,
matters are coming to light that
were but vaguely hinted at first.
Big Business has entered into
Weld county's affairs. So long IS
only petty peculaticrs came to light
Big Business yawned lazily and did
not pay much attention. But when
the trial oegan leading to the doors
Of several big corporations Of the
state, = change came.
The acid test Is teinx put to Dis
trict Attorney Carlson. He has
resched = point now where ~" hest
wits of the state lre pitted against
; his own in the coming trials. But
tl,at Is not all. He has come to the
place where he Is 40 pivotal POINT.
He is the keystone in the arch that
. falls without him or stands with
! himL And seduc1iyely, suavely and
insidiously pressure Is being
, brought to bear on him. The mighty
!. power Of tho dollar pile has Deen
thrown into the ring.
n the one side the district At
tOrney has the confidence Of the
people and the satisfaction of doing
his duty. n tire other is aFrayed
better things in . material way than
] the young attorney dreamed Of siA
months ago.
