JEKYL AND HYDE IN POLITICS

In order to carry duplicity to sue
cessful termination, one must be a
born diplomat of the "Dr. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde" order. No sooner had the
tocsin sounded for law and order in
our state, than the old Republican
party seized the opportunity as a slo-
gan to again ride into power, and
their few remaining state journals
with their usual affrontery, rush in
to print with their bold insinuations
that within that almost extinct band,
are the lineal descendants of the par
ty who saved the Union and freed
the descendants Of Ham from Ethl-
opian bondage. 1t is to their credit
that they, as a party, freed four mil
lion black slaves from bondage, and
at the same time riveted the shackles
good and tight upon the ankles of
ninety millions of white freemen. We
have had an example of law and or
der from that party in this state
upon several occasions, notably the
glaring election frauds in Las Ami
mas and Huerfano counties, the for
chile unseating of regularly elected
Democratic legislators and installing
enough of their defeated candidates
to oust the Democratic governor
elected by the sovereign vote of a
free people, and install a man whose
claims and ability were foreign to
the position. And when they had
succeeded in unseating enough Dem
ocratic Legislators to unseat Alva
Adams, the duly elected governor by
many thousand legal majority, and in
stall the usurper Peabody, their lead
ing attorney in this devilish and
crooked work, John M. Waldron, had
the audacity to publicly boast that
might makes right.
The voters Of Colorado are compos
ed of those of all nations, but di
vine Creator has endowed them with
wisdom enough to detect the good
from the bad, and never again al
low this party of oppression to gain
foot-hold in the state. Each and
every political party in the state con
tains large majority for the uphold
ing of their state and national law
and it would be adding insult to in
jury to conceive of this class OF
proven trickstres regaining power in
the state or nation. The majority OF
voters in Colorado are for loyalty
and honor, and it is unsafe to trust
to those who have betrayed us in
the past.

NO INFORMATION OF
 SULLIVAN OR PARKS
Four Battleships and Five Destroyers to Be Withdrawn from Mexican Waters,

Washington, May 2o-News from Mexico City of General Huerta's an- nouncement that the Mexican dele gates to the Niagara Falls mediation conference had no instructions to offer his resignation was received in Wash ington with interest, though it was regarded as having no particular sig n1fcance. Officials of the Washington government had not expected General Huerta to proclaim readiness to elim- mate himself.
 Authentic advices through diploma tic sources, however, gave Washing ton authentic information several days ago that the Mexican commissioners were clothed with full power to act and had been authorized to agree to the elimination of Huerta if necessary to bring about a settlement of their country's international and interna- tional troubles.
 This last step. 1t was taken for it was apparent to the commission CTS that there was no hope of set tlement on any other basis.
 General slackening of tension in the situation resulted today in the con- sideration of plans at the navy de- pArtment which, included the with drawal of part of the fleet now on the east coast of Mexico. Acting eve retary Roosevelt said he hoped that within a week. four battleships, five dSStIOySrS diiu d tSnUeT WOuld De on the way north. Mr. Roosevelt ex- plained that condition of the ships which have been in Mexican waters since the beginning of the trouble made it necessary that they be brought back for efficiency reasons"
 The state department continued its efforts to obtain information as to the fate of Consul John Sullirnan at l Saltillo. The failure of the Brazilian minister in Mexico City to procure any definite word from Silliman and the failure of the Mexican foreign of- l flee to deliver the consul resulted in | efforts in other directions.
 No further official information was | forthcoming in the case of Private 1 Samuel Parks. The state department
 is still without reply to the note 1T
 which it demanded tnformation about Parks and characterized his reported execution as "a hostile and an un. l friendly act"

New York. May 20-Charies Becker will not be benefited by the confession alleged to have been made by "Dago Frank" Ciroflci shortly before the chair at Sing Sing prison for the part he played in carrying out the plot to murder Herman Rosenthal.
 "Dago Frank in the so-called con- fession. was quoted as saying he had never heard the name of Becker men toned in connection with the con- spiracy that resulted in the killing of the gambler Justice Seabury re- fused to admit testimony concerning the alleged confession into the record and his ruling was a great disappoinf ment to both Becker and his coun-
 sel.
 /Justice Seabury explained his action
 by saying that the alleged confession
 had not been made in affidavit form
 and sworn to, and had not been made
 to any one authorized to take depo- sition fro ma dying man. Justice Sea-
 bury further declared he was also in- f1Eenced by the fact that it was moi permissible to admit testimony deal ing with incidents that occurred a long time after the commission of a crime He quoted a number of legal opinions to show upon what grounds he had l barred the so-called confession. Mir Manton, of Becker's counsel. sait he would make no further attempt tt to get the confession in the record, bu intimated it would play ap importan part in an application for new tria should Becker be convicted a second | time.
 There are but two more witnesses t 1 testify for the defense. They vii
 have told their stories and been ex cused from the stand before the con ! clusion of the proceedings tomorrow | The case will undoubtedly be complet

ROOSEVELT GETTING BACK
 INTO POLITICAL HARNESS
Plans We'll Under Way for Campaign of 1e14-WiII Start About July list, Upon His Return from Europe.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 20.-On the
 first day after his return from South
 America, Theodore Roosevelt got back
 into touch with the politival situation
 and tonight plans were well under way fer the progressive campaign of
 1914. A large part of the day Colonel
 Roosevelt spent in conference with
 George W. Perkins of New York, chair
 man of the executive committee of
 the progressive national committee.
 MT. Perkins has been steadily at work since the 1912 campaign in organizing the new party in all sections of the
 country and his mission to Oyster Bay was to acquaint the former pres
 ident with present day conditions in the field of politics.
 Colonel Roosevelt would not discuss his long talk with MT. Perkins. He said he was not talking politics Clifford Pinchot, the progressive can didate for United States senator from Pennsylvania, also had long meet ing with Colonel Roosevelt.
 o. K. Davis of Washington, secre- tary of the national progressive com mittee was expected here today, but was unable to come.
 Colonel Roosevelt's political activi- ties today removed all doubts whether he would take an active part in the campaign this year. It is known that l he expects to make one Of the most l arduous fights of his career. Although no definite plans have been formed, it l is probable that in September he will | make a trip across the continent, l speaking in most of the states.
 l On May 30 Colonel Roosevelt will 1 sail for Spain, for the wedding of his
 son Kermit. In the intervening period of little more than ga week he will | attempt to start into motion the ma
 chinery for the campaign and, with
 other leaders of the party. to decide i upon the lines on which the fight is to ] be made. On his return from Europ>
 about July he will begin his cam paign proper, which Is expected to keep him hard at work until election day.

curiou. Bits of History.

Some publishers in ancient Rome could turn out books rapidly and cheaply. A publisher of the Augustan era produced 1000 copies of the sec ond book of Martial in ten hours and these, sold at about 12 cents apiece, gave him profit of 100 per cent. This was done by employing slaves care fully trained to write swiftly and leg ibly. Working in patches of 100, with an oVerseer dictating the book in hand, the task was completed in a very short time. As soon as the copies were written they were revised corrected. rolled up and bound. Being slaves, the men required only main tenance from their master and thus he could afford to sell their produc- tions at a very low rate.
 Hints on table manners have always been welcome. In the Amibrosian n- brary at Milan there is a thirteenth century manuscript. entitled Fifty Courtesies of the Table" by one Fra Bonvesin. Here are a few of the fifty: Let the hands be clean and above all do not at table scratch your head, nor, indeed. any portion of your body" Do not lick your fingers, which Is very ugly and i'll bred-"~ Tn eating do not put. too much upon your spoon at one time. for not only will you thus give much embarrassment to your stomach, but you will, by eating too 1 quickly, offend those sitting near Again: Wash well your hands and drink good wine
 In the early days of their craft compositors had no need to worry about quotation marks. Punctuation was then of the simplest, consisting only, of an oblique line and a full stop The first book to introduce the colon and notes of interrogation and ex- eiamation appears to have been a La tantfus printed at a monastery noai Rome in 1465. Title pages were alsc unknown in those early days The books started straight off with Here beginneth," no. authors or publishers much diff5cuity in attrfbuting work tl the proper sources.
