We take the whole big Bulletin family
into our confidence and then send
marked copies at newspaper postal rates
to the party or parties We had especial
ly in mind when the thing was done
This saves expense and makes those re-
oeiving the marked copies feel all
puffed up with Importance. All this by
way of introduction, they would say
in the school of journalism. Recently
the o. p. had something nice TO say
about Judge George l.. Sets of Pueblo
president of the Colorado Hay Fever AS
sociation, who first won fame and for
tune working at the cigarmaking trade.
The customary marked copy went for
ward and the Judge responded, as was
confidently expected, with dollar for
a years subscription. Therefore, we do
not hesitate in saying that George is all
right and that the people Of Pueblo dis
played rare good judgment in renomi-
mating him for the third or fourth time
in the recent Democratic primaries. OF
course the q. =. cannot promise to de-
vote space to all who will respond to
this gentle hint. for il would look like
a labor directory of Colorado; but some
names must appear in this column each
week and it's surely worth while TO
take chance and trust the O.. y. to do
the rest.
Strange contrasts may h. found in

church where services were being held.
and in view of the fact that practically
all OF the Protestant churches have sus-

we dropped in ont of curiosity and to
rest. Here the earnest pastor was
speaking to a lonely crowd of 80 or 40,
but no circus features were introduced
Yet we darc say there was more true
religion in the small group than in the
multitude oniy two blocks away.

Occasionally a hot idea Strikcs a col

cavity aud causes an explosion that clar.
flies the mental vision of all common
mortals. Prof. F.. c. Iiudemann. geolo-

State University at Boulder. has just
come forward TO prove this rule in the
social equatus. He has taken his pcn
in hand to write letter to Oscar Tn.

costing that in lieu of the proposed war

also incorporates an additional schedule
which calls for a tax oi 2S cents on every
woman's skirt which does not reach
lower than two inches above the instcp
For fear this might not bring sufficient
revenue, the professor further provides
