SENATOR CHARLES S. THOMAS

THERE can be doubt that there is a sinister and
dscredtable effort being made by certain politicians,
trust officials and party bosses undermine the great
popularity which United States Senator Charles S.
Thomas deservedy enjoys among the people of his home
state.

halls of national legislaton-stood unswervingly and
Loyalty by the Wilson tariff program, because he kept
the pledges he made to the people and voted he said
he would vote the individuals named above seeking

OF course, the trust magnates and their hrelngs
be expected to attack him and libel him. He is foe
they fear, and well grounded indeed their fear Nat
uray the odne republican leaders against him for

privilege to differ.
But we find that lot of machine politicians time
and perpetual office seekers who call themselves
democrats quietly giving every possible assistance
these efforts to inJure Senator homas with his home
people. hey are working under cover, as usual but
later the whole bunch of them will be exposed
and propose to help do the exposing None of these
fellows are known can be known members of the
progressive element of the democratic party They at
tempt the badge of democrat, but let
opportunity pass fling slur Wilson, Bryan, Thomas
or Shafroth behind their hand.
The who claims to be democrat and yet as
sails Charles S. Thomas for standing afootedly from
the start for the Wilson tariff program is NOT
DEMOCRAT and has no right to call himself such.

Charles 5. Thomas, senator from Colorado has the
admiration and confidence of the great majority of the
people of Colorado. Throughout his has been
consistent and honorable. He has stood for the people

Fierce Flood of
Muddy Water Hits
High Line Camp

a tremendous wave of water, car
rying potential death in its path,
swept down Jerry creek past the high
line construction camp near Cameo
late yesterday afternoon, the result
of cloudburst In the hills a few
miles north of the camp. There was
no rain at Cameo and the water came
with a warning roar Some little
damage was done to the excavation
work and portions of the camp were
flooded, but the loss was very nomi-
nal and the men are all congratulate
ing themselves that none We're in the
path of the dashing waters.
The flood was forecasted by clouds
of inky blackness which hung over
the hills north of the camp and ter
rifle lightning told that fearful
storm was going on. The flood de-
layed things along the high line pro-
ject for time.

MAIL COLLECTED
/. LATER NOW THAN
FORMERLY; RULE

Discovering that the early after
noon mail collection throughout the
residence portion of the city is not
fruitful of much mail and that the
big bulk of letters are dropped af-
ter the afternoon collection, the post
office authorities here have changed
the hours of residence section mail
collection, so that the mail will be
gathered for No. instead of loo.
The new rule goes into effect tomor-
row.
This will be appreciated by most
patrons. Those who have letters they
are specially desirous of having mail
ed on No. 106 will have to carry same
to the drop in the postoffice. The
business section collection is not af-
fected.

Heauy Damage Is
Resulting From
Terrible Rains

Terrible rains have caused the Rio
Grande railroad considerable loss the
last two or three days. This morn
ing No. 5 arrived in two sections
about seven hours late, delayed by
fearful rains and floods between Min
turn and Pueblo and on the first di-
vision.
Eastbound trains are just about as
late and the night trains arrived this
morning. Railroad men state that
the roadbed has been damaged in
score of places. The wall of water
which passed through Cameo last
night did not damage the railroad

Schmidfs Mail Big
Steel Bear Trap
Result Neu Rule

The wonderful benefit of the new
ruling of the parcels post to encom-
pass 20-pound packages was illustrat-
ed this morning most emphatically
when L. Schmidt & Sons mailed a 20
pound steel bear trap to Gateway
parties for 24c. Under ordinary con-
ditions the article could not have
been transported from Whitewater to
Gateway by stage. for less than sec
or 81. Since 1t is in Uncle Sans
mail, the stage is forced to carry it,
The bear trap was the largest and
heaviest package ever sent out of
the local postoffice. The trap was
eyed askance by all who had to han
die it.

. HAT Uncle Sam is at last aroused
to the need of improving his
highways is certain. 1t did not
require the federal aid convention at
Washington lately to convince his
nephews and nieces Of this fact-facts
and figures tell them this without
Iear of contradiction. Everywhere
mere is activity and even rOad-pOOr
illinois IS aroused, and residents Of
lAe state are making every effort to
pull Illinois out of the mud
An idea of the activity which is
being displayed by the various states
in the union is had from statistics
computed which show that in 1872
LWenty-elght of the states spent S22,-
oe1S1O on road Improvement Re
turns from 20 states report 1883, III
miles of roads TWenty-three states
nave zlso5z miles of improved high
New York, for instance, is credited
with $4,000 miles of roads, of which
1862 are improved. There are 1892
miles of macadam roads and $500
miles OF stone roads in the state. In
1912 New York built 622 miles of new
roads and improved l,05z, spending
Sl4,915,14L Massachusetts, with $4,000
miles Of highways, has 10000 miles
improved, probably the best showing
OF any OF the states in the union
The BAY state credited with having
spent $500, 900 on its highways last
year. Iowa is frenzied with good
roads enthusiasm, and last year paid
out S7,OO0.0OO for highway improve
ment. The HaWkeye state has 10T. 900
miles Of roads of which $500 is i'm
proved. 1t has 100 600 miles of dirt
roads, $500 miles Of stone and $500
OF macadam- Kansas also is showing
commendable activity, having spent
nearly $4,000 600 in 1912. OF its 9S,-
600 miles of roads, all but 1000 are
made of dirt. in 1912, 10000 miles OF
these roads were improved and 90
miles OF new highways constructed
Wisconsin with $1,000 miles of roads,
has improved $4,000 miles Of them. In
1912, 500 miles of new roads were
built and the cost Of highway improve
ment in the Badger state was S1,250,-
600.
illinois is credited with having spent
$500 900 in 1912 but If this has been
done residents of the state have not
vet been aroused to the fact. Illinois
has 100000 miles Of roads OF which
10 600 are improved Last year Oh
miles of experimental roads were con-
stEucted. Mississippi spent S5s5Olu0O
and Missouri $4,000, 600 The former
has 4AOOO,072 miles OF roads and IN
1912 built 333 miles Of new thorough
fares Missouri has 100000 miles OF
roads, Of which 4.750 are improved
Michigan with 10000 miles Of roads
only has 1900 improved. Most OF the
thorOughfares are Of dirt, and IN 49,
240 miles of new roads We're built
only SI25, 900 was spent by the Wolver-
ines
Statistics regarding the other states
also are interesting. North Dakota
has 64TSA miles OF roads and spent
500 900 in 1912; the District OF COlum-
bia has only Az miles OF roads and
spent 1928 600 last year. Utan mas

MOTOR TRUCK IS
IN MANY FIELDS

The complete victory of the motor
truck over the horse has attracted so
much interest that attention has been
diverted from the fact that the
doughty truck is accomplishing duty
that heretofore has been the province,
not Of the horse, but of the railroads
A great deal Of interurban traffic is
now handled by motor trucks that Il
year or so ago vas the work of steam
and trolley lines. This business is
bound to increase by leaps and bounds,
for its economies are obvious
Take two cities say Is to % miles
apart, shipping by rail from one to
the other, meant the handling three
times Of the goods, namely by truck to
the freight station in the initial city,
then by train and third by truck again.
Motor trucks running between points
so situated take on their load at the
shippers platform and deliver direct

remarkable saving Of actual time Of
transit but is decidedly less expen-
Lines of this nature are rapidly
multiplying. Particularly successful
