One of the good bills introduc-
ed in the legislature is that Gre
ating the Fourteenth Judicial
district which comprises the
counties Of Bent, Baca, Prowers,
Cruwley and Kiowa. This is as
it should be. AS the district now
is the three first named counties
are in district with LasAnimas
and Huerfano counties, two coun-
ties with which we have nothing
in common, never had and never
will have. Should the bill be-
come a law Pueblo and Otero
would form one Judicial district
and LasAnimas and Huerfano
another.-Bent Co. Democrat.

Delaware and Chesapeake

Representative Covington has
introduced a bill in Congress
providing for the purchase by
the Government of the Della
ware and Chesapeake Canal,
and provides that in case the
owners and the Government
cannot agree upon a price that
the property shall be condem-
ned and paid for at a cost not
exceeding -, 5l4. 290: 1t is pro-
posed to push this bill through
Congress at an early day so the
Government can get possession
without delay.
There has been so much talk
for so many years. about the
Government buy ing this Canal
that the mere mention Of il has
been treated joke in recent
years; but it is very evident Mr..
Covington is in earnest and
knows the desire of Uncle Sam
in the matter.

Shop Early.

Perhaps if the merchants had
the making of this motto they
would change it to "Shop early
and often" but that is not at
all necessary. The idea of get
ting the Christmas purchases
out of the way before the rush
is that it not only relieves the
clerks but the shoppers. They
get fresher and better assert
ment of goods, avoid the crowds
and receive more attention from
the statesmen or saleswomen
who are not yet worn out with
the Christmas trade and have
more time to look after Gus
TONERS.
Another advantage of shop
ping early is that it gives ample
time to mail presents to distant
friends. Everything can be
done in deceney and in order
and not on the jump. More
over, this course distributes
the financial burden. and does
not bring it all in one lump at
Christmas, which is an object
with most of us.
The most potent argument Of
all, however. is that shopping
early is in keeping with the
Christmas spirit. the very es
sence of which is thoughtful
ness for others. The burden of
the Christmas rush on the
clerks is such that one who has
never gone through il can but
dimly realize. Thoughtfulness
for these demands that we do
everything in our power to
tighten the load. We can at
least do our individual part by
making our purchases now.
Thus we will be true to the
Founder of the day, who said.
even as We do unto the least
of these, my brethren. We do il
unto Ne" LII we do not think
of our own comfort and con
venience and so avoid the
Christmas jam of the last days,
then let us give some thought
the happiness of the mer-
ants, the clerks, and the
~ of those who minister to
wants.
