In reading the various daily papers,
harmony in the Democratic party, both
national and state, is very far fetched.
At the state capitol in Denver every
officeholder has his knife out for the
other fellow, and it only wants dark
night to see big fight. At Washing
ton affairs are in terrible turmoil
Wilson is worried over the fight Clark
is making on him and congress is at "A
standstill. OF course the people are
responsible for this state of Affairs
had NO business to elect the Democratic
bunch to handle their affsirs.-Routt
County Sentinel.

Pyles is right, his party has little or
no backbone and the governor has the
entire statehOuse gang to fight. In the
days of Peabody-and he upheld law
and order-the Democratic papers
threw fits and attempted to hamper
him in every way, but he succeeded in
putting Colorado on the right path.
The people are certainly sick of tine
them so at the polls this fall.-Routt

The Craig Empire is the first Demo

as the people will get "Rainbow s"
scalp this fall. A man that will betray
his state and throw hundreds ont of
work for measly job for his sonin-
law, is not the kind of a hairpin We
want at Washington. Thomas and Mar
tin attempt to crawl to the "milI,.,

How few realize the significant
truth of the following observation by
the Durango Democrat: Every line
in newspaper costs the proprietor
something. If it is for the benefit of
the individual it should be paid for.
If the grocer were asked to contribute
groceries to one abundantly able to
pay for them, he would refuse. The
proprietor of newspaper must psy
for the free advertising if the bene.
ficiary does not and yet it is one of
the hardest things to be learned by
many, that newspaper has space in
|
to live. To give rent for anything
less than living rates is as, fatal for
newspaper as it would be for a land
lord to furnish rent free.
Already the Denver News is betting
nervous over the coming of Billy Sun
day, and Editor Shaffer is Methodist!
The secret of Shaffer's alarm probably
lies in the fact that the statewide pro
hibition fight will be in full blast when
Sunday strikes Denver, and Billy is
some prohibitionist Shaffer breads
that fight. He knows that two years
ago 75,s77 votes were east in this state
against the saloon, and 73.140 voters
who came to the polls and voted for
governor did not express themselves
one way or the other, on prohibition.
Another thing that is worrying Shaffer
is that of the 4o,s77 majority for the
saloon two years ago; 22,417 came from
the city of Denver: Billy Sunday IS
being brought to Denver largely t.
wipe out that 22,417 majority. Sunday
and his hackers in this state agree with
Jesus, who said. "They that are
whole have no need Of the physician,
but they that are sick,'' and 20 they
propose 10 make Billy the house physi-
cian at the Denver hospital-El Pasc
County Democrat.
