COMPARES DURANGO WITH
DENyER'S POLITICS

Durango's commission form of gov

preme court in chambers yesterday,
shows a condition of municipal af-
fairs in that city similar to Denver's,
The council is fighting the change
and through the city attorney jobbed
the citizens demand for a charter
convention, according to the argument
of Attorney Main before the court.
One of the arguments advanced for
the majority of council, to have set
aside mandamus of the lower court
for the holding Of charter conven-
tion, is that in the special election on

HONESTY PAYS BEST.

A silly preacher in New York city
is trying to prove that business
man cannot be honest, and succeed.
AS a matter of fact, a business man
cannot succeed unless he is honest.
In my time, | have known hundreds
of good business men to fail because
they were naturally tricky, and could
not overcome the disposition. On the
other hand, have known thousands
of men of small ability to succeed
because they established reputa-
ton for reliability. do not know
really successful business man who
is not honest. A preacher might as
well teach that virtuous woman
cannot succeed to say an honest man
cannot succeed.
The silly New York parson says
he has been told by great many
honorable men" that honesty is i'm
possible for the man who is deter
mined to succeed. What foolish,
untruthful, mischievous statement!
do not believe any honorable bust
ness man ever made any such state
ment.
If you cannot learn from the pull
pit that the more steadily business
man practices honesty, the greater his
chances for success, then learn it from
me. A man who doubts this, and
makes inquiries to prove his position,
not only lacks sense, but there is a
taint of dishonesty in his makeup.
The talk that the greater the rogue,
the greater his fortune, originated
with thieves, and they have failed to
make their doctrine good. The lesson
taught most persistently by human
experience is that for his own sake, q
man should behave himself; to doubt
it is evidence of moral and intellectual
weakness. If you want to hear that
there is no chastity among women
associate with women who are wretch.
|ned ,edtcasts because of lack of chas-
ttvity; if you want to hear that sue
cessful man cannot be honest, asso.
ciate with men who are themselve:
unclean in thought and practice.
Ask an old thief the greatest regrei
of his life, and he will tell you it il
regret that he did not lead an homes
life, which would have made him sue
cessful and respected, instead of al
outcast and public charge. Why il
it that some one is daily bringing VI
the exploded charge that an homes
man cannot succeed in life? Why i
it that we cannot agree upon tn
simplest moral fact? Millions of mel
are tricky and unsuccessful because o
the teaching, constantly reiterated
that if man hopes to succeed, h
must be a thief. The world is rot
ten with this notion, which is as pal
pably false as that man may ge
along better with one arm than witt
two.
Any man who takes advantage o
another, is a thief at heart. 1t i
this man, apologizing for his owl
conduct, who gives the impression tina
an honest man cannot succeed in busi
ness.-Ed Howe.

COLORADO DELEGATION
ENDORSES PRES. TAFT

The committe by a vote Of one
hundred and ten to ten declined to
endorse the candidacy of former Pres
ident Roosevelt for reelection and by
practically the same vote endorsed
President Taft for reelection at the
Harmony banquet in Denver on Lin
coins birthday. The Roosevelt or
progressive men in the committee did
not fight as hard to secure az en-
dorsement of Roosevelt as they did
to prevent the endorsement Of any
one at this time. They maintained
that this was not the time for the
endorsement of any candidate for the
presidency. The committee by practi-
cally the same vote declined to or
der presidential primaries as suggest
ed in resolution introduced by Merle
D. Vincent of Paonia.
In the matter oil the Denver stu
alton the committee adopted reso-
luton which practically discharged
both contesting committees and in
structed the state chairman to appoint
a committee of nine, not representing
either side to supervise the holding OF
primaries for the purpose of electine
a committeeman in each precinct ir
the city of Denver. These commit
teemen to afterwards meet and elect
their chairman. This contest came ur
because formerly there was a city ane
county committee in Denver ane
the supreme court decision consoli
dating the two left matters in sucf
shape that no one could tell whether
the city or the county committee wal
the correct committee.

BACK FROM LONDON.

Miss Millicent Campbell, who is
spending the winter in Paris, has just
returned to the French capital after
a months visit to London. To see
the largest city in the world for the
first time is an experience most peo-
pie would find interesting. From No
vember to March is the period when
"Lunnon" is at her worst so far as
climate is concerned, and London
fog has to be seen to be really appre-
ciated. 1t is said that there is no
other place in the world that can pro-
duce a fog of the quality and con-
sistency of those made in London.

rango's registered vote was cast. This
was due, they argue, to the fact that
the election notice and ballot were
faulty since they did not contain the
purpose of the election.
Now the same majority of council
which put the alleged joker in the
election notice and ballot are resting
upon it as a defense for not calling
the charter convention. The people in
April, 1911, voted 644 to 457 in favor
of the convention. 1t has not been
formed and a supersedeas is now
sought staying the order of the dis
trict court for it.
In his brief submitted to the su-
preme court Attorney Main, repre-
senting the petitioners, says:
''The writer of this brief personally
urged upon the city attorney in vain
that the ordinance calling the cleo
ton contain different provision from
that which he drew and recommended
to the council. We do not wish to be
understood as intimating that the city
attorney purposely drew an ordinance
which he believed would render the
election valid, but we would use this
as an illustration of the extreme dan
ger of establishing a precedent where
by an unfriendly council and city at
torney would be enabled to thwart
the demands of the petitioners and
the expressed will of the people, as
shown by the election returns"
W. A. Reese appeared for the ma
jority in council which is endeavor-
ing to prevent the charter convention.
| The case was taken under advisement
by the supreme court.-Denver News.
If one can form an opinion of the
outcome of case like this from prece-
\ dent then we regard the prospects as
being highly favorable for refusal,
I by the supreme court, to grant the
writ of supersedeas asked for by Han
no ct al. In the case of the Denver
people the court first granted the writ
and then sustained the finding of the
lower court and the election will be
held. In the Arnold case, however,
the court refused to grant write Of
supersedeas and still found In favor
of Arnold, so there you are.
