Friend Hennessy: The campaigns
gone fine. Most enjoyable. Three
days after election and half the coun-
try isn't speaking to the other half, or
if it is it is saying things it oughtn't
to. Old friends meet after long alb
sence, discuss politics, embrace, and
roll on the floor. Oh, l tell you it
has been grand campaign And it's
given respectable people glimpse OF
the underworld they never had before.
1t amt exactly like the old cam
uaigns. dye mind, when we all turn
ed out to see our leaders wagging
their chin whiskers about the traffic
ITS more exciting, like Summing ex-
petition or trip to Chinatown. For
a small fee a gentlemanly guide will
conduct the more adventurous the
senate chamber, warning them in ad-
vance to leave their valuables be-
hind. In the meantime William Ran
dolph Hearst sits back and says he's
an honest man, he pulls a letter on
him that he hooked away from the
Standard Oil company.
There's one thing I'D like to suggest
to my fellow kerosene merchants in
the Standard Oil company, their plant
is complete in every respect save one.
They ought to have a stove in John D.
Archibald's office and use it for let
ter file.
But say, I've been writing about the
campaign all the time and l went to
tell you the news. It's on the jump
all the time.

NO DISGRACE TO ASPIRE OR

Some may wonder why ii is that
The Herald is somewhat interested in
what the Democrats do. 1t is easily
explained and the same reason should
guide every good citizen. In the first
place it must be admitted that the
Democrats have the lead for election,
not only in La Plata county but the
senatorial and judicial districts. This
being the case why shouldn't The
Herald, as a taxpaying institution, be
Interested? The writer has always
neld that the interests of the general
public are far above politics. We be
ieve that those elected should be true
TO their party and men who aided their
election in so far as it does not con-
ict with the interests of the general
public. The people, however, should
receive first consideration, and to this
end The Herald is very much inter
ested in the Democratic nominations.
we need an assessor who is above pet
ty politics; we need county commits
sioners with but one object in view.
that Of giving the people the best
there is for the least money. We want
commissioners who win devote their
time to improving the roads instead
Of back room gatherings to aid some
grating outfit. Ninety-nine people
out of one hundred are more mteres5-
ed in good service to the public than
they are who fills the position of coun-
ty attorney, road overseer, or ianitor
The Herald wants to see men elect
ed to office, especially the execuctive
branches, who will eschew politics and
IN turn select men for subordinate
places who are capable, and at all
times work for the welfare of the
taXpaying public. This applies espec-
tally to the board of county commits
sioners. No man should be elected

VIII favor one person above another
IN the conduct of the affairs of the

every Democrat who steps up to the
treasurer's office and pays taxes

we do, Naturally The Herald favors
general Republican policies and the
election of Republicans to office, but
we are more interested in the general
welfare of the public. If the city, coun-
" and state are well governed with

OPENING OF THE ALBANY HO-
TEL NEW FIRE PROOF ANNEX

The new fireproof annex of the AL
bany hotel, which has been under con-
uction for the last eight months,
vas opened most auspiciously on the
'ening Of July Ia. While the exact
ate and hour of the opening of the
| iew flreproof annex had not been an
unced and had been kept a secret,
nevertheless, six hours after its open
ing every room was occupied, and the
| house has been well filled ever since
that time.
The fact that each room contains a
private bath with rates from $1.5 to
S4,OO per day, is accountable for the
supply of rooms being exhausted so
quickly. The fact is the Albany is
now able to supply nearly every one
of its patrons with room with pri-
vate bath, and the rooms which are
rated at $l.50 and $500 per day are in
constant demand, but no doubt as soon
as tourist season is over the Albany
VIII have sufficient number of rooms
with bath to supply the demand.
Ihe furnishings and equipment of
the Albany hotel new building are su-
perior to anything in the way of ho-
tel furnishings ever seen in Denver
before, the patterns being especially
designed by Mr.. Dutton himself, moth
ing like it ever have been attempted
before.
The new Promenade and the
Complexion Garden, which is the name
OF the principal cafe has already made
a great hit with the Denver people
and IT can only be seen to be appre-
Grated. The many social functions
already booked for the fall and win
ter months is ample proof that the
Denver, public has passed its approval
upon what the Albany has accomplish
ed IN the last few months.

THE HERAL9's INTEREST.
HOLD OFFICE.

Under exposures Of graft and stand
ing in with Interest" many people
are led to believe that the sole rea-
son why SO many aspire for political
positions is the opportunity afforded
for easy money at the expense of the
people-that public office is a private
snap instead Of public duty. The
writer does not believe this. In nine
instances out of ten the general pub
lie is responsible for men in office
grating. Many are forced TO do 50
by would-be friends. Political ma
chimes are often responsible, Machines
are expensive, especially when they
assume the proportions of the late
Speer machine in Denver. Under the
guise of business administration
Speer spent the peoples money with
out any regard how or where it went.
This is evidenced by exposures to
date. This condition exists in many
smaller communities but TO less ex-
tent. 1t is for this reason that the
men holding office is regarded by
most people as CRATER.
The Herald believes there should be
new standards set for those filling
public positions. In the first place
Jhe laws should be remodeled and IN
the second the recall should apply.
The recall is mighty weapon to keep
office holders in the straight and
narrow path. We believe that COM
pensation for public officers should be
such as to enable them to present a
respectable appearance and if frugal
lay aside something for rainy day.
There should be law, one absolutely
prohibiting candidates spending more
than certain amount, making it a
crime punishable by fine and iinpris-
onment. There are certain campaign
expenses that must be provided for,
certain amount Of printing and af-
ter this, there should be limit. When
men spend 500 to $1,000, and some
times $4,000, to obtain an office it
stands to reason they figure on get
ting it back in some way and this is
why we say the general public is to
blame. Make it so an honest man can
aspire and hold office without being
elassed as CRATER, When this is
done better men will become candi-
dates and be elected
