The political agony will soon be
over, in SO far as the general election
itself is concerned. The result this
year is awaited with more than usual
interest. Will 1t be shown that the
bid for a continuance of present
shameful conditions has been allowed
by a majority of the voters? Or will 1t
be the just rebuke to these contribu-
ter's to the states shame. The same
tactics which have brought political
victory to Mr.. Patterson and his clans
for years, are again in effect. Time
and time again has he won by scheme
ing to split up opposing political forces
in the state. If the state redeeming
forces of Colorado suffer defeat on
November 8, 1t will be solely because
they adhere to petty party differences.
And that, by the way, is exactly what
the other fellows are counting upon.
With them It Is a gamble; on account
of this they are parading their money,
trying to get bets. With which side
are you going to line up, Mr. Voter!

Senator Patterson is one of the
main owners of he Albany hotel block
in Denver. 1t is said that he collects
$500 day, for each days rent. That
building conducts the most active sa-
loon business in the city of Denver.
Not only that, but part of its floor
space is devoted to wine and beer
tables, where hundreds of men and
the night, to the accompaniment of
music. There are thousands of moral,
temperate Democrats in Colorado who
do not look with sufficient favor upon
Senator Patterson to give him their
votes.

A letter from Denver states that
the saloon men and gamblers are of
fering to bet three to one on the cleo
tion of Senator Patterson for gov
ernor. Senator Patterson, in his
talk here, we understand, modestly
admitted that offers Of two and half
to one being made, and without
takers. However it should be re-
membered that a one-hundred-to-one
shot sometimes wins, and when that
occurs there is great lamentation
among the gamblers.

Most of the citizens of the United
States who have advanced to middle
age or more, realize, when they think
upon the subject, that in all past his
tory, whenever there was a crisis
pending, man sprang up from the
rank and file of the people especially
calculated to meet the emergency. and
that there was enough right thinking
people to elect him. 1t seems like a
supervision of the supreme ruler over
the government of our country. Such
a man, we believe. has sprung up,
without any notice or prophecy, for
governor of Colorado, in the states
hour of emergency, and that man is
George A. Carlson. II he is elected
as we believe he will be, the right
thinking people of the state, regard
less of party, must do it by giving him
their votes.

Independent has just received a
handsomely printed report of the medi-
cal and sociological condition of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. This
company, which is the largest indus
trial institution in Colorado, has
greater buildings and more beautiful
grounds than has any of the educa-
tional institutions that are supported
by the state. 1t has its college, out
of which are graduated classes of train
ed nurses; has its hospitals in which
is every scientific equipment down to
the X-ray; has it's corps of physicians
and surgeons; has its training grounds
and beautiful parks; has its hospital
farm and it's dairy herds. Those who
have never visited Minnequa, the beau.
tiful, can hardly appreciate the extent
of all of these splendid improvements.

GOVERNOR AIDS
 SOLDIERS HOME
Issues Proclamation Be-
 cause of Emergency Over @ Lack of Funds.

Little Rock, July 25.--It has been found necessary flor Governor Hays to issue a proclamation declaring an emergency for the support of the Ar kansas Confederate Home. Upon the representations made by the: super intendent, c. P. Newton, and the state board of charitable institutions, the governor issued a proclamation di' recting that the sum of $15.000 be set aside to bear the expenses of the home, until the convening of the legislature, "it being expressly understood that this proclamation is absolutely necessary. .-,
 The legislature of 1913 appropriat- ed $30,000 for the years 1913 and 1914, for the current expenses of the institution, being exactly the same amount as appropriated two years before when the average number of inmates was twenty less than for the present period. The amount was in sufficient even for that biennial period, and the board was forced to borrow $15.0o0 in 1912 for the relief of the fund, which lasted until the legislature passed a deficiency meas ure and took up the loan, April 1, 1913, the act carrying $21,O00. In writing about it, Superintendent New ton says:
 Your are fully aware that we cannot operate the institution with out some relief for this fund. You may take whatever action to relieve it you may deem best.
 In transmitting the letter to Gov. Hays, the board says:
 "This seems to be a case of dire necessity and of. history repeating itself. and we respectfully request yo uto come to the aid of the grand old history-makers and authorize this board to incur obligations aggregat- ing $15.o0O for the purpose of pro- viding for their enecessary comforts up until the converting of the next General Assembly,

Sheriff c. D. Stevens, his guard and H. J. Rice, his secretary. Stevens IS assistant to Sheriff Holman Drew who lives in the nearby town Of Der lin and who takes turns with Stevens in guarding the prisoner.
 There are those who believe Thaw would find 1t esy to escape. Thaw has just purchased five-passenger touring car. The Canadian border is not far.
 Waits for His Guard.
 But Thaw has shown no inclination to take French leave. This was in dicated conclusively by the incident of the fishing trip when he became lost. He and Stevens struck in at diff ferent points on Nineteen-mile brook and missed each other. At half past eight o'clock in the evening the Deputy Sheriff called up the hotel, there was some excitement and a search party was organized. Secre- tary Rice was the, leader.
 With the aid of the laterns Thaw was found about ? o'clock in the morning. He was seated philosophi- cally on a rock in the middle of the stream perfectly calm, though a trifle wet and hungry. With great god sense, when he realized that he was lost. he had concluded the thing to do was to wait for someone to come to him.
 He could have covered a good many miles toward liberty in the hours be- tween 10 in the morning and the time he was located. if he had pleas ed to do so.
 Apparently he is convinced that the courts soon will set him free and that there is nothing to do except wait and watch.

The mayor has called atten- tion to the presence of bubonic plague in New Orleans, and declared that while there was no immediate pros pect of an epidemic in Charlestown there was possibility of the disease reaching here through rats on river boats.

 Thaw has come and gone about the village so much that the inhabitants are no longer reused ct great curi- osity by his rather slovenly figure.
 His habits are excellent. Dr. Aus tin Flint and Williams Travers Je- rome, Thaw's Nemesis" 1t will be remembered: have often contended that with a single drink of cham paign. Thaw might become 8 raving maniac and kill someone.

 However that may be. Thaw doesn't give the single draft of fiz water a chance to show what 1t can do. He's teetotaler.
