TENDS FRANCHISE
Discusses Harmony and
"Discord' With Warning
Band Factions
VARIOUS DISCUSSIONS

The regular monthly meeting of the
town cohncii was held Monday even
ing .anl; as usual lasted until the me-
night 20 ::
One nf tie first ''iings to be brought
up was tine matte If transferring the
liquor iicease of Lccner Bros. to Henry
BOscO. II will be remembered Tat
Ecche: Bros, like al! other Glenwool
saloon men, were caught in the grand
jury dfasnet a year ago last moa.h
and indicted for violating the nigh and
Sunday closing laws and at that term
of court, like their associates indicted
on that charge, entered a plea of guilty
and were fined 5000 and costs. Eccher
Bros. failed to pay their fine and an
attachment was recently filed against
them to collect this money. Apparent
ly unable to pay the fine and costs,
they transferred their property to
Henry Bosco who asked the town
board for transfer of the license.
The request was granted, subject 70
the fling of formal petition and IL
new bond.
j. p. Rittmayer, on behalf of the
Glenwood Cowboy band, asked for aa
appropriation of 800 per month for
five months, beginning May l, and
promised that the same free concerts
would be given as heretofore. His re
quest was for the same financial sup
port that was given the band last
summer.
Mr.. Rittmayer had scarcely taken his
seat when George Weirick arose and
entered protest against the granting =
of the band s request. Weirick repre-
sented himself and two or three asso-
ciates, former members of the band
but recent dissenters from the same.
He claimed that he and his associates
had been forced to withdraw by Jack
Sinclair, leader of the band, who hal
made conditions so unbearablc tina !.
they could not remain. We;rick charg-
ed but very little of what he termed
unfarness in connection with the
band work, but his chief grievance
seemed to have reference to some trou-
BILE over orchestra work, but his talk
was not very convincing so far rs
spectators were concerned.
c. w. Smith, representing the regular
organization, stated that there had
never been any agreement with Mr.,
Sinclair which wouid prevent him
from engaging in orchestra work if he

SCHOOL ELECTION
LIVELY FIGHT
c. ". Smith Easy Winner Over
c. H. King Napier r-Drach
Forces Are Routed
A VERY LARGE VOTE

We had a school election here last
Monday. 1t lasted five hours and t
will keep some people busy for the
next five months telling how it hap
pened, if you remind them of it; Other
wise they will forget it as soon as pos.
sible. 1t must be admitted that it was
lively skirmish yet perfectly good
natured throughout. Tie people were
just wideawakc in the interest of their
candidates, as they had a perfect right
to be, and that made an interesting
afternoon.
Everything was at a stanIstill in
regard to the matter until two days
before the election, when an announce
ment that Charley Smith had entered
the race against C. II. King. the pres
ent incumbent, brought Mrs. Napier
home from Denver, Mayor Drach from
his store at Rife and Charley King
rushed over from his Paonia ranch
and things were started in a lively
fashion. .lanitors were selected super
intendents were selected, teachers were
hired and lot of things happened or
were scheduled to happen in the event
of Smith s election. Even II. p. Shep-
herd, former superintendent was not
left out of the deal, while Mr.. Girdler,
who has attended to his own affairs
and left politics to the politicians, was
brought into the mix and Mr.. Kings
he did not write or sign.
The Napier Drach machine which
has kept the town in hot water for the
past few years at an expense of thOus-
ands of dollars to the Taxpayers with
a nice COB of litigation yet to pay for,
went down the line hard and strong
for King. But it was no use. The
Mutual light proposition, the fact that
Mr.. King has shipped his household
goods to his ranch at Paona, what
some considered his slight personal in
terest in the schools, and above all
else, the apparent necessity of the ma
chine to return him to the board, was
handicap which even Mr.. Kings
personal popularity could not over
come. In fact, it has been freely pre-
dicted that had it not been for tho
high personal standing of Mr.. King he
would have been defeated by a two to
one vote.
The complete vote was as follows

PREPARING FOR
THE Big FESTIVAL
Public Committee Makes Ili-
tiaI Arrangements For
Strawberry Festival
JUNE q AND p SET

A preliminary Strawberry Day meet
ing was held at the Grand hotel last
Tuesday afternoon and was very well
attended. Chairman r. j. Smith called
the meeting to order and general
discussion of the affair was had.
1t seemed to be the general opinion
of all present that two days meet
should be held this year as it is too
much to crowd everything in one day
as has been the custom heretofore. \
program of more varied sports than
ever before undertaken will be ar
ranged for this years event and there
will be something doing every hour of
the two days. June 81 and % were
selected as the dates for the affair and
the big strawberry feed will probably
be given on the first day. 1t was
called to the attention of the commit:
tee that at that time several trainloads
of women will be passing through
Glenwood ell route from the east to the
National Federation of Women's s clubs
to meet in San Diego few days later
and it was urged that Glenwood should
be in her brightest garb at that time
as all these special train will stop in
Glenwood from one to four hours and
the advertising feature will be worth
much to the town.
In discussing the arrangements some
of the citizens voluntarily compliment
ed the newspapers for their great as
sistance in making past festivals sue
cessful and urged the committee to
support the local papers with all the
work they needed in their line. This
Is sentiment usually overlooked IN
affairs of this kind, but one that is of
great Importance to the success of all
such events. The feeling seemed to OBJ
tain that the 1912 Strawberry Day is
to be the biggest ever known in the
history of the town.
II. j. Smith was reelected chairman
of the executive committee and NJ, j.
Mayes was made secretary. The chair
man was given such time as he may
need to appoint the executive commit
tee. 1t was thought that other public
meetings should be held and the people
are urged to attend the next meeting
and be ready with suggestions as 10
entertainment or any other feature
that may be thought necessary to make
the affair a success. After a thorough
and interesting discussion the meeting
adjourned, subject to the call of the
chairman.

NOT PEABODY WAR DEBT

Denver, May IA number of the
democratic papers are making the
statement that the bond issue of over
100000 which was sustained by the
supreme court yesterday is for the pur-
pose of paying the Peabody war debt.
Such is not the case at all. The bond
issue is for the purpose of paying the
excess warrant debts previous to the
Peabody administration. They take in
the seventh general assembly debt and
a number of debts contracted even be-
fore that period. They are in no man
ner connected with Governor Peabody 3
administration of affairs. That debt
was taken care of in previous bon
issue four years ago.

Denver, May 6.-Several important
decisions were handed down by the
state supreme court today. By cler
zeal mistake house bill 200, which ap-
propriated 100000 for better roads,
is void.
The question of the constitutionality
of the bill was decided in the appealed
case of the ProweIs county commits
sionegs against Auditor Leddy. The
county sued for 1880 appropriation
under the bill. The judgment was up
held on the ground that the passage of
the bill was not officially recorded n
the senate journal and that the bill
was therefore unconstitutional.
Justice White, in delivering the
court S opinion, said: "Thc sovereign
people, in whom is vested all govern
mental power, have spoken in their
organic law, and their mandate, so eN-
pressed, must be enforced by the
courts, even though wise and benefcent
attempted legislation is thereby de
feated.'
The Consumers league, in the rail
way case, asked the state railway com
mission to fix freight rates on coal
shipped from the northern Colorado
fields by the Colorado & Southern,
Burlington and Union Pacific railroads
The commission complied and the rail
roads filed motion in the district
court to dismiss the complaint of the
Consumers league.
The court sustained the railroad IS
objection and judged the commission

Rifle, May let the other towns

That Rifle merchants and ranchers, in
about the time it takes to tell it, this
week subscribed $500 for the better
ihent of good roads in this vicinity.
This money is to take the place of
calendar money, notice of which
was given in these columns last week.
The scheme is good one, worthy Of
emulation. Instead of the money for
merly spent for calendars and going
out of the country forever, it now
stays at home and is of great benef.
which none will dispute. Work on the
roads with this fund has already CON-

A FRAGMENT OF HISTORY.

"All The World says against Champ
Clark was said against Abraham Lin
coln," declares Col Watterson in an
editorial which our neighbor the Sun
takes great pains to reprint.
Lincoln has already been sadly over
worked in this campaign, but We may
be pardoned for untwisting the Cour-
ier-Journals history. All that The
World says against Champ Clark's
nomination was said in favor of Lin
coins nomination and against Sc
wards nomination.
Surely Col. Watterson AID the Sun
have not forgotten that Lincoln was
nominated on the ground of availabili-
ty, and Seward was defeated for the
nomination because it was believed
that he could not carry New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
This was the argument that Greeley
used with such tremendous effect at
the Chicago Convention in 1860. 1t
was the argument that induced the
Pennsylvania delegates to make their
combination with the Lincoln dele
gates from Illinois. 1t was the argu-
ment that swung Indiana to Lincoln.
This argument had vastly more influ-

ther. 1t is said that if Wilson is NOM
mated, Wall street will refuse to con-
tribute to the campaign fund. That
is the way Stewards friends were
talking in 1860. ''If you do not nomi-
nate Seward, where will you get your
money!" they asked. The convention
did not nominate Seward; it nominal
ed Lincoln, and although the Republi-
can campaign fund was not more than
$25000O, Lincoln was elected Presi-
dent.
1t was a wise convention that pre-
ferred Lincoln to Seward in spite of
Stewards great popularity, in spite of
Stewards strength with the politicians,
n spite of Stewards relations with
Wall street. 1t will likewise be a wise
convention that prefers Woodrow Will
son to Champ Clark.-N. Y. World.
