Progressive VS.. Progressive

We see the idea advanced that
if Roosevelt is nominated the only
way for the Democrats to defeat
him is by the nomination of a re-
dictionary like Harmon or Under
wood! The idea advanced is that
the reactionaries of the rank and
file who are now for Taft will
vote for Harmon to defeat Roose-
welt. Perhaps some of them may,
but while Harmon might catch a
few Republican votes he would
lose all or practically all the pro-
gressive Democrats in the north
ern states and the result would be
that he would not carry a state
north of the Mason and Dixon line
not even his own state of Ohio.
which has strong progressive ell
ement in the Democratic ranks.
No; the way to fight the devil is
with fire. If Roosevelt is NOM
mated he must be opposed by a
progressive, else it will not be
worth while to make the fight.

Extraordinary Carelessness

Bud McCollum, near Rara Avis,
killed himself Monday accidently.
He vas fishing and pulled his gun
to him by the barrel and the ham
mer caught and killed him imme-
diate1y. He was buried at Provi-
dence in the presence of a large
number of relatives and friends.
We clip the above from the TIA
wanda News because it shows un-
usual carelessness in handling
firearms. A man who will drag a
1oadedgun with the muzzle toward
his body can almost said to have
committed suicide.

Sinking OF The Titanic

The greatest teamship of any
age was the Titanic, which ran
against an iceberg near Cape Race
Sunday afternoon and sank to the
battom at 2::2O Monday morning
carrying down 1902 persons
There were go persons, mostly
women and children, saved in the
life boats. In the construction of
the Titanic every precaution
known to modern science was tax
en- to make her safe against disas-
ter. Science has done great things
but when its products come up
against the elemental forces of
Nature the latter will triumph in
evitably. Among those drowned
was John Jacob aston, multi
millionaire. Money is great
power on land, but it is powerless
against the rolling waves of Old
Ocean. The commonest deck
hand had as good a chance as AS
tor in battling with her relentless
tide and both alike became food
for the denizens of the deep. In
the face of so appalling catastro-
phe the world stands aghast.

Telling The Story Of His Fall.

Abe Ruef, the Jew San Fran.
cisco political boss, who is now
and has been for some time safely
behind the bars of the celebrated
San Quentin penitentiary, of Cali.
fornia, is writing for publication
the history of his wicked life show.
up all his confederates. He brings
in especially the controlling Off
Gals and agents of the Southern
Pacific railroad which has long
been charged as instrumental in
bringing about much of the politi-
cal corruption in the Golden State
Ruef was college graduate and
says he started in life with as high
ideals as any young man. He
proposes in his story so he says,
to tell everything and spare NO
one. If Abe will do this mis- story
will have real value, but will he
do it? And if he should will he
be believed?
The truth itself is not believed,
From one who often has deceived. ,"

CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
First Experiment In Alabama
At Ceiger.

The Inauguration of the Free
Rural Bus of the Geiger High
School has been celebrated. The
first of the kind known in the
State has been put into commits
sion in the town that does
things.
This follows the plan of consol-
idating rural schools into one grand
high school, as first instituted at
Geiger. By this mode of convey
ance all the children in the old
Geiger district are picked up at
their door every morning and the
cheerful medley of happy children
is heard all along the route. In
the evening the driver calls at the
close of the school hour and takes
his passengers safely home. Ev-
cry pupil has been credited with
good department and studied his
lesson we'll because the bus waits
for no laggard but leaves on sched-
ulc time.
The bus is a large open carry all
style with perfect storm curtains
which can be raised or lowered to
suit the weather. There are two
side seats the entire length of the
body, leaving room for the drivers
seat in front. A strong iron step
is fastened behind permanently.
Large soft cushions cover the
the seat andthe back is just curved
enough for comfort. The chill
dren enjoy the ride and the now
city is so rare to them that it is
likely to last throughout the school
year.

A great many people pooh
poohed at Congressman R P Hob.
son, of Alabama, when he stated
that Japan had designs on the
American continent and would
never be satisfied until she stirred
un trouble with the United States
as pretext for war, but circum-
stances ale beginning to sustain
Hobson's theory very recently.
1t is developed that Japan has
been negotiating for the purchase
of a tract of land on the west coast
of Mexico and convenient to the
Panama canal. 1t is believed by
many that these brown men want
to use this territory as a base to
operate their fleets from in as
saults upon the canal and ,Ameri-
can cities. This purchase of land
and colonizing of same is in di,
rect defiance of the Monroe doc
trine and steps are being taken by
our government to prevent the
deal being consummated. 1t will
never do to let those people get a
foOthOld on American soil.

The Clark men are for Clark
against Wilson, the same is true
of Underwood and Harmon. They
are for their respective candidates
but against Governor Wilson.
Should they all settle on a single
candidate, his nomination would
be secured without the least bit of
trouble.
The above is clipped from the
Commercial Appeal of last Mon
day. 1t is an astonishingly can
did admission that a combination
exists to defeat Wilson at all haz-
ards. Notice the last sentence.
Should they all settle on single
candidate his nomination would
be secured without the least bit of
trouble" Well, suppose by a
combination Of this kind you Sc
cure the nomination of a candi-
date, would it not endanger his
election? We think it would. In
a great many states the majority
is never large either way and the
honest plan will prove the best plan
in such states, for an admitted
combination would lose the re-
cipient of that nomination enough
votes to lose the electoral votes of
such conmonwealths. Avoid all
sorts Of combinations in nominal
ing a candidate if you want sue
cess. The American voter cannot
be trifed with by using trickery
and chicanery in securing the nom
ination of candidates for Office.

The Carnegie Hero Fund.

The Vidstte has received the re-
port of the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission, which has its head
quarters at Pittsburg, Pa. This
commission was established years
ago by the millionaire iron manu-
facturer, Andrew Carnegie, and
since that time has paid out thous-
ands of dollars to heroes who risk
ed, (and to the families when they
lost their lives in saving or trying
to save the lives of others. In
some instances medals only are
given when the heroes life is not
lost, but in most cases where the
life is sacrificed pensions are paid
to widows er mothers, sometimes
as high as $55per month. Usual
~ the pension is from $40 to $50
to $35 per month. Many a poor
woman who has had the way of
her declining years smoothed by
this pension. We looked in vain
for the name of Thos. M. Grish-
am, the aged ex-Confederate who
lost his life in Corinth overa year
ago while saving the lives Of two
ladies from a runaway team. The
horses had started to run and I'M

An article in a magazine says
that if ever we are to have reform

THE ALLEGED WHITE
SLAYER At DELTA IS
IN HOPELESS CONDITION

f. NJ. Heidinger. the former eX-
press messenger between this city
and Paonia, who made such an unen-
viable record last fall by his deal
ings with young girls of this county,
and who was held here for several
months on criminal charges prefer
red against him, was taken to Den
yer by Sheriff Williams.
Heidinger was held in the county
jail for some weeks following his
arrest. 1t will be remembered. and
when ii became known that his low
er limbs were paralyzed. that he was
totally helpless and had to be han
died MS child, court order was
issued by District Judge Shackleford
permitting his removal from the
county pail to private boarding
house on Meeker street. The prison.
er has gained some in flesh since
removal to the boarding house. He
has been provided with a private
nurse, but his paralysis is gradually
getting worse, according to the at
tending physician.
And now, upon motion of the
district attorney. who had an order
made out at the last term of dis
trict court requiring the defendant
to give a bond of $500 for ap-
pearance on two charges, and sup
ported by the affidavits of DR.. Bur-
CESS and County Commissioner Will
son, the court has granted Heiding
er permission to go to Denver or
elsewhere if he should choose, upon
his own recognizance, he being un-
able to furnish sureties.
Heidinger is in very serious con-
dition and is not expected to live
until the time set for trial These
concessions are therefore granted
because of this fact but the court
order is so made that if he should
live and improve in health, he is to
appear at the September term of dis
trict court for trial or else become a
fugitive from justice. The case may
be determined from term as occa-
sion demands.
Heidinger receives a monthly in
surance fee of $50 from some com
pany and considers himself perfectly
able to handle his own expense ac-
count in Denver or elsewhere.-Del-
