The report of the dairy commission
er of Colorado is interesting reading.
1t tells us that the butter made in
this state during 1912 amounted to
100000 pounds, which, on basis
of 30 cents per pound, gives total Of
s13,800,0O0. An average of 48 cents
is being paid for butter fat as against
IA cents in 1911. There are 1876 pros
porous creameries in the state, and
we hope there will soon be 126.-Cor-

Isn't it queer some people, especial
ly newspapers, are always burdened
with grievance. They don't do any.
thing themselves and don't want 9TH
ers to. This is evidenced by the tone
of an alleged newspaper over the
splendid outlook for the postoffice
building. But such is life. However,
this does not interfere with The Her
AIDS progressive policies. This paper
hasn't crouch of any kind. We have
not an enemy to punish--in fact, so
far as we are concerned, we have no
enemies, that is from our side of the
house. All people look alike when it
comes to advancing the general vel
fare of Durango and southwestern
Colorado. Suppose all our people get
in the same bandwagon and Durango
will improve like magic.

With Governor Ammons seeking to
save the state large sums of money
wouldn't it be the proper thing for
the senate and house to do little
house cleaning. There are something
like 100 employees in the senate and
house and if twenty-five competent
people cannot do the work we'll eat
our hat. At least forty to fifty of
the extra employees could be dispensed
with until the closing days when a
few emergency clerks could be en-
ployed. Again, throw out the rotten
contests and use the money for roads
and educational institutions.

WHY MUST DENVER BE so OUT.
RACED.

The Denver Republican does not
propose to be drawn into the mael-
strom of indecency projected by the
fake reformers who are now endeav-
oring to climb into office by making
prostitution political issue.
The "statistics" of these fake re-
formers should be rejected, with the
rest of their noisy claims-for all are
valueless. The Republican will not
lend its columns to that sort of
news"
There is no use organizing bust
ness mems leagues of various sorts
for the purpose of spreading the fame
of Colorado's advantages, when such
mouthers and ranters are elected to
office. and are allowed to fill the
public prints with their unseemly
wrangles over the basest of topics.
Such men are doing Denver and
Colorado more harm today than all
the united brotherhood of Colorado
business men can repair in year.
At first the outbreak of ill-feeling
among Denver's jealous reformers
looked like a joke--a sort of Kill
kenny-cat joke, damaging only the
fur and feelings of the parties to the
quarrel.
But now that statements" and "sta-
tistics" and explanations" and "ac-
cusations" are following each other
in such rapid succession-all con-
cerned with underworld topics which
should have no place in a great city's
common reading matter--it is appar.
ent that Denver is the injured party
in the quarrel.
The Republican makes no distinc.
ton between the white SLAYER who
lives openly upon wages of shame
and the office-holder who seeks tc
make the unfortunate women of the
underworld a human ladder by which
he can climb into office. One wage
is as shameful as the other.
Denver citizens should make sure
that in the future no office ever goes
to one of these tar-brush wielders who
seem to contaminate everything with
which they come in contact.-Dep
Republican. ~
Ths Herald fully agrees With the
above sentiments. We have often
called attention to the continual war.
