We are informed by dispatch
that Mr.. Roosevelt has decided
that there shall be no personalities
in the campaign as far as he Is
concerned. He will make the fight
strictly on the issues.
No personalities? Certainly not.
OF course. Mr.. Roosevelt may from
time to time find it necessary to
call some person by name or
charge that he has been bought
by Wall street or somebody else.
He may likewise, in the inter
ests of clean campaign. find 1t
judge, calling the jurist by name.
has "sweetbreads instead of brains
and is unfit TO sit on the bench
in n trial involving a yellow dog.
He may also, should circumstances
seem to require it. charge specific
non-contributing individuals with be-
ing malefactors of great wealth.
"worshippers of the mammon OF
unrighteousness' and also strong
and cunning men,"
1t is likewise not improbable
that. as the campaign progresses.
he may occasionally accuse various
carefully designated individuals of
being political bosses of the most
villianous and depraved type.
He may, furthermore. every now
and then charge some supposedly
respectable person with corporation
affiliations OF the deepest dye and
plainly intimate that the peniten-
tiary is the proper place for men
of his sort.
And he may. should cfrcum-
stances seem to suggest 1t. state
that divers specified jurists are the
"tools of the interests" and the
chief obstacles to the success-- or
the whole program of social tceil
ioration
And between times he may call
any number of public men whose
views do not happen to coincide
with his own liars" and the
other choice terms with which his
vocabulary is 80 surprisingly full.
But there must be no personal
tiles. No indeed. Mr.. Roosevelt
hates nothing so much as person
tiles. He has always stood for a
political campaign conducted on
the highest possible plane of gen.
tlemanly observation-disclosures inter-

Stag Ballast All the Way to DEN
YER

The Santa Fe railroad has let
the contract to Thomas Mishou,
of Pueblo, for widening the cuts
and bankments on the Santa Fe
between Pueblo and Denver prepar-
atory to reballasting thetrack and
laying new ties and heavier steel
The strip of roadway between Dem
yer and Pueblo which is not as yet
Stag ballasted is the section between
Colorado Springs and Castle Rock
and it is here that the work will
be done.
This week gang of 800 ballast
men and trackmen was transferred
from the La Junta division, the
work of Stag ballasting between this
city and Pueblo having been COM
pleted, to the section between Col
orado Springs and Castle Rock and
he ballast trains will be put on
that division.
The rails now in use are eighty
five pound rails and they will be
replaced with ninety pound rails
made at the steel plant in Pueblo.
The ties will be creosote treated.
and will be equipped with the
steel plates to prevent wearing of
q rails. The ballast will be
taken from the Stag dumps at the
Pueblo smelters and there will be
a bed of fifteen to eighteen inches
of ballast laid over the present road
ed.
The work will cost the Santa Fe
about 5000 for each mile. but when
completed It will be permanent and
there will be little cost of mainten-
ance. When this strip is complet-
ed the Santa Fer Will have a solid
Stag ballasted trek with ninety
pound rails betweetr La Junta and
Denver and the new track will be
as perfect as modern railroad build

Senator La FOIette ON Rnosevelu
Senator La Toilette, the real orig
inator and for years only promi-
nent leader of the present social
ed progressive ideas. was asked
the direct question in the senate as
to his opinion of the two candi-
dates, Messrs. Taft and Roosevelt.
and he did not split hairs in his
reply. The following is his opinion
as expressed in the senate:
ION the day that Theodore
Roosevelt was made president of
the United States. there were 149
trusts and combinations in the
United States. When he turned
this government over to william H.
Taft, there were 10000 plants in
combinations. When he became
president the trusts had an aggre-
gate capitalization of $4,000. O.000,-
20 and when he left the presidency
they had an aggregate capitaliza-
ton of s31 100000 and more
than 20 per cent of it was water.
'The present administration has
sought to apply the antitrust law
more vigorously than its predeces-
sor; but the time to have applied
the Sherman antitrust law effec-
lively was in the infancy of these
trusts. when there were only 149.
81 don't believe that the man
who was president at the time of
| times In the history of the
sherman antitrust law when 1t
could have been made potential in
trust organization-I do
rot think that the man who was

A Live Tariff Issue

The attitude OF President Taft
upon the tariff question, as shown
in his recent veto messages, Is iD
our Judgment both courageous and
commendable. 1t Is courageous
because at the present time 1t Is
fashionable to make a scapegoat OF
the protective tariff system and to
assert that 1t is the root of all
evil. the cause of high cost of liv-
ing and of all other evils of the
times.
The fact of the matter is that
the tariff has very little to do with
the high cost of living and certain-
Iy nothing more than it had In
days gone by when everybody SEEM
ed to be happy and when times
were even more prosperous than
they are now. The wool schedule.
for illustration, is discussed as an
awful example of tariff inniquity-
As n matter of fact as good a suit
of clothes can be bought now for
500 or $$25 as at any time for
the last 20 years. The tariff upon
the wool which enters into a suit
of this kind is very insignificant
mart of the cost of clothes. By far
the greater part comes in trimmings
and in labor; and American labor
ia and ought to be paid higher
wages than the labor of other coun-
tries. and the American people have
uniformly indorsed that proposition.
he same state of facts applies to
many other articles about which
there is so much tariff talk.
The action of Mr.. Taft is
commendable because, in the face
of a campaign, when he knows that
all sorts of unfair and untrue crit
icisms Will be leveled at him for
his vetoes, he nevertheless stands
his ground because he believes in
the principle of protection to Amer
ican Industries The democratic
party will endeavor to make all
sorts of political capital out of
this proposition this fall, but they
cannot answer satisfactorily to
the people this statement contain

Iary of State and some trouble Is
being experienced in getting the
blunders corrected. For instance.
they filed Sheriff Capp's name as
"Clapp."' They misspelled the
name of Roady Kenehan. Kathryn
Williamson, Mrs. Inez Johnson Lew
is. Benjamin F. Montgomery and
a half dozen others. Not only that
but they failed to give either the
business or the residence address
of a single candidate on the as
sembly ballot. Secretary of State
Pearce referred the matter to the
attorney general and the two as
sembly aOffdcials who made the mis-.
take have been requested to come
to Denver and correct the error. All
of which shows that Democrat is
absolutely unfit for self govern
ment. let alone the governornment
of others.

FAIR STARTS
The Twelfth PrOwsls County Fair
Now Under Way

Lamar is enjoying holiday
week and the crowds in town are
larger than ever in spite of the
fact that the change of the weather
is keeping our farmers more close
ly at home than ever before. The
continuous rains have kept back
work on the farms until the farm
ers do not dare let this fine wealth
er get by them.
The fair grounds are in gala ap-
pearf ce and everything is going
off Ii. the most pleasing manner.
The displays are large and attrac-
tive, the races good and all kinds
of amusements going on.
Even up in town the south part
of Main street has been turned in
to a good imitation of 1.-The Pike"
and large crowds of people are
seeking amusement there each even
ing, although 1t Is not quite so
amusing to the citizens of that
neighborhood. Something Is doing
or somebody being done there all
the time and 1t all furnishes en-
tertainment to the crowd.
1t will be a big week In every
respect and will be enjoyed by all.

Members of the American team.
returning from the First Interna-
tional Pan-American Fife and Re-
volver tournament, held at Buenos
Aires, Argentina. report a growing
friendliness between the South
American countries and the United
States. The attitude of the citi-
zens toward Americans, in every
city visited, was not at all sugges-
tive of the anti-Yankee feeling of
which news dispatches have told.
but there seemed everywhere to
be the greatest evidence of good
will, both in socaI and BUSINESS re-
latfons. A notable feature OF the
tournament was the fact that every
revolver and pistol competition was
won with Remington UMC, Ameri-
can-made ammunition.

State Capital NOtos

Cliff c. Parks, the assembly nom
in of the Republicans for gov
ernor, Announces that he will sup
port the Republican ticket this
fall from top to bottom whether he
Is successful or not. He says.
rYou can say for me- that am
a Republican and will support the
ticket from President Taft to the
lowest officer. whether Mr.. Stewart
wins In the primaries against me
or not"
Mr.. Parks has no Intention OF
letting Mr. Stewart win II he can
prevent it.
Mr.. Stewart when asked If he
would support the Republican state
ticket II he was defeated in the
primaries by Mr.. Parks replied. II
will cross that bridge when l get
o it." Both the assembly and the
petition nominees will begin q cam
paign tour of the state next Mon
day and will continue until the pri-
maries are over. Both sides ex-
press confidence in being able to
win.
E. p. Costigan, who was nomi-
mated for governor by the Progress
sives, has in a letter addressed to
the voters of Colorado accepted
the nomination. Mr.. Costigan and
the others on the Progressive tick
ct will campaign the state urging
Progressives everywhere to Join
that party and not to affiliate with
the Republicans in their primaries.
Mr.. Costigan and his associates will
use as their authority for this
plea the recent telegram from Mr..
Roosevelt advising all Progressives
to join the new party and stay out
of the Republican primaries.
Governor Shafroth's friends are
sending circular letter broad
cast throughout the state urging
all Democrats to support him In
the primaries and maintaining that
lie has made good as governor. He
takes the credit for the enactment
of the initiative and referendum

Populist's Last Rally

The Populist national convention
in st. Louis. which opens today. is
likely to be a much smaller affair
than the advance notice indicated.
At one time they were a rather
formidable party. That was in
1892. when they polled over 1.000.-
900 votes for their presidential can
didate, Gen. James r. Weaver. who
was the Greenback party's nominee
in 1890. They gave Weaver 22 elec
torai votes+4 from Colorado, 3
from Idaho. 10 from Kansas, 3 from
Nevada. and l each from North
Dakota and Oregon. That was the
largest electoral poll ever rOlled up
by a third party except by the
BeH-Everett Constitutional Uion-
.sts OF 1860, who obtained thirty
nine votes.
But the persons who gather dn
st. Louis today are only a small
fragment OF that sect of 20 years
ago. The Populists were absorbed
by the Bryanite coalition in 1896.
and, as an important force. lost
their separate identity. A small
faction of them seeceded from the
democratic merger In 1900. but they
mustered only $4,000 votes for theii
candidate. Wharton Barker. They
gave 1l7.OOO votes to Thomas E.
Watson in 1904. but all who were
left of them. as shown by the tally
for Watson in 1908. were $4,000.
Neither separately nor in alliance
with.any other party. can they make
demonstration in 1912 which
will be at all impressive.
1t is believed that the Populists
will unite with the PrOgressives in
1912 and support Roosevelt and
Johnson. A promise of that sort
was made by one of their leaders
who was in Chicago during the re-
cent Roosevelt convention. A
swing to the colonel by them this
year would be just as logical as was
that to Bryan in 1896. Some of the
Weaver platforms planks of 1892
and of Bryan's four years later are
incorporated in the Roosevelt pro-
nunciamento of 1912. The colonels
platform is a little more radical
han was the Weaver or the Bryan
manifesto. This is because the col
onel while accepting most Of their
fads. has invented several queer
follies of his own, all of which his
supporters gathered in the plat
form on which he stands in this
campaign. II Gen. Weaver were
alive this year he would undoubt-
edly take the stump for the colonel
as Tom Watson is to do, so report
says. There would be no other
place for hdm to go. The Oscala
platform of 1890, which was the
first enunciation of the Populists'
reed, and the Omaha deliverance
of 1892, on which Gen. Weaver.
stood, were somewhat conservative
as compared with the cOlonel's re-
cent Chicago pronorncement. but
the handful of the Populists who
are still extant will probably accept
them for fear of being classed by
him as reactionaries.-Glob
