SENATOR WARREN.

The reelection of Senator Francis
E. Warren of Wyoming is rebuke
to those so-called "progressives" who
think of nothing but their own per-
sonal ambitions, ignore all that a
man has accomplished in heaping in
temperate abuse upon him, and act
and talk as if they were the only
people in the world whom anyone
could trust with anything. Warren
has been in the senate since 1890, and
his activities there have been such as
to stamp him one Of its most capa-
BILE and energetic members, interested
in doing his work as high public
officer and particularly solicitous of
the interests of his own state.
Because Senator Warren has been
able to get appropriations for gov
eminent work in his own state, the
so-called progressives condemn him as
an undesirable senator, but how many
times has Colorado wished that she
had in the United States senate a
man as capable a. Warren and as de-
voted to her welfare! At time when
everything that is, is wrong, and all
that is right is what the progressives
want, it is a good thing that men
like Warren are retained in office.

JOURNALISTIC AMENITIES.

The above slug of ignorance
and indecency is from that bas-
tard and mongrel sheet, the North
Fork Times (excuse the capitals),
edited by red-headed farmer and
cross between a she-wolf and
bag of tin cans, named Tom
Blackwell.
After devoting some space to an
swering the main article Mr.. Blail
concludes his grilling as follows:
And if Tom Blackwell has the
decency of sheep-killing mon
grel cur he will make an apology
for the statement in his paper
last week. If he does not then
we shall brand him and prove him
to be unfit to inhabit a decent

prominent lady Barrymore kicked
him down stairs and said, mo;

snake in Montrose could not per
