The address OF the Honorable
Thomas NJ. Patterson in this city on
last Wednesday night. supplemented
by his public career in this state.
proclaims him to be one of the
smoothest and most insinuaiing poll
tieians of the land
He is distinguished represent
tive OF that old School of Politics
which taught the doctrine that to the
victor belongs the spoiis of office.
Few men are more plausible in
their talk and better able to cover
up what they believe than Senator
Patterson. And none can surpass
him on the hustings in the artfulness
and ingenuity of speech. BY his
masterfui command of language he
can make virtue appear criminal or
crime stand out as inocent virtue
as he chooses.
Almost any Interpretation may be
placed upon what he says So skill
full is he in the use OF words and
phrases. In campaign like this.
when candidates are expected TO do
fine their positions on the important
state ssues. in clear manner. MIR,
Pattersons speech was full of sound
and fury signifying nothing"
The other night he devoted about
half of his speech TO the question OF
prohibition II his literal words were
taken In account. II might be hard for
anyone TO prove Just how MIR. Pat
terson stands on this issue. However.
he convinced the most OF the audi.
ence that he is an ardent advocate
of the wet side. Much OF his talk
was along the line OF advocating
local option.
But he couldn't cover up the fact
that he is strongly opposed to state
wide prohibition. lie did leave the
intimation that those communities in
which he was not Interested might
he permitted to operate under the
local option law and 70 wet or dry
as they saw f,t. hut that in Denver
where he owns large property.

CLYDE DAWSON MAKES
SOME PERTINENT REMARKS

Clyde Dawson gave notice in his
speech here Monday night that four
years from now he would contest the
seat In the United States senate
with John shafroth. II viii be a
happy day for Colorado when It can
have in the senate such men as
Hubert Work and Clyde Dawson.
1t is charged that Simon Guggen.
helm spent a million dollars to be
elected United States senator said
clyde Dawson In his speech here
Monday niEht. And John ShAfroth
spent over a million dollars to ac-
eompiish the same thing. The only
difference is Simon spent the Guggen-
heim's money and Shafroth spent the
peoples mo1ey.-Pueblo chieftain.

Be SURE TO VOTE AGAINST
AMENDMENT NUMBER 8

The proposed amendment to make
newspapers OF Colorado public utili-
ties is the Joke OF the season. The
proposition that a newspaper shall be
placed absolutely under the control
OF the public utilities commission
and its policies dictated by that bu-
reau could not have originated any.
where except in the mind OF legis-
lator embittered by the criticism Of
his acts. A free press Is stiil the best
guaranty OF free ,government and
any law to throttle It works to the dis
advantage II the people. Like the
existing law giving the secretary OF
state power 10 publish legal notices
In papers regardless OF whether they
have any circulation or not. the am
endment would give to commits
sion OF three politicians in Denver the
right to say Just what a newspaper
can publish. This IL the essence of
the proposed act no matter how
much conceaiment OF intent there is
in the LEGAL phrascology.-B Boulder

TO PIPE
SAND TO
SETTLING
BASINS

At the regular meeting of the city
council Monday night S. A Van Bus
kirk addres sed its members at con-
siderable length in relation to an en-
tirely new. and, apparently feasible.
proposition pertaining to the procur-
ing Of supply for the settling basins
at the waterworks plant on the hill
side above Kenleys gardens Mr.. Van
Buskirk says the adoption of his plan
will obviate the necessity of hauling
Of sand in wagons to the settling
basins and will be big saving in ex-
pense to the city in carrying on the
work in which It is now engaged.
Mr.. Van Buskirk's scheme is TO
open the pipe line at the waterworks
intake in the Royal Gorge to the
sand carried by the flow Of the Ark
ansas river and allow It to be car
ried down to the settling basins by
the current in the conduit He says
it can be done a great deal more
rapidly and cheaply than by the haul
ing method now in vogue. Instead
of forcing the sand out OF the intake
by the devices used for that purpose
Mr.. Van Buskirk suggests that the
channels and sideways empolyed
with that end in view be closed and
the sand be allowed to 20 into the
pipe line and forced down its FIVE
or six miles OF length and delivered
directly into the settling basins.
An exhaustive. plausible explana-
tion OF the plan was made by Mr.. Van
Buskirk AMI made favorable i'm
preston on the council. He agreed
to undertake the management OF the
proposition on terms acceptable to
its members and was instructed to
begin a ''try-out- OF the matter as
soon as possible under the supervision
Of the members OF the water commit
tee and the water superintendent. Mr..
Van Buskirk will start his sand fum-
ing process on Wednesday or Thurs
day Of this week II 1t proves sue
cessful it will save the city many
hundreds OF dollars.
Secretary C. W. Van Patten of the
Y. NJ. c. A. addressed the council in
relation to conference TO be held

Of entertainments in Canon City

able or not and asked Mayor Smith
TO appoint committee to discuss
the matter with delegates from other
local organizations The mayor ap-
pointed Alderman Combs. Hamilton
and Craig to represent the council in
the deliberations.
On motion the mayor nominated
committee composed OF Alderman ID.
y. Cooper. ]. NJ. Anderson and Grant
Dickinson to look into the advisable
ity OF drafting an ordinance provid-
ing for uniform system of weights
and measures for Canon City. The
committee was instructed to report
the result Of their Investigations at
an early meeting OF the council.

other matters OF more or less rou-
tine and perfunctory character the

UNCONSCIOUS
IN HIS CABIN

II. ]. Hall OF 227 Greenwood avesue
was found unconscious from a stroke
of paralysis in a lonely cabin in the
mountains Of Custer county. twenty
FIVE miles southeast OF here, by W.
II. Trout of this city on Tuesday. who
seems to have been providentially
sent TO his rescue.
Mr.. Hall left last Saturday to do
some work on a mining claim he has
in the Oak Creek park district and
had established himself in a little
shack" on the property. where he
expected to remain until driven out
by snow and cold weather. Previous
to leaving here he secured a promise
from Mr.. Trout to visit his claim be-
fore winter and inspect his pros
poets" The fine weather of Tuesday
was an invitation to make the trip
and he started in the morning by
automobile. expecting to surprise Mr.
Hall by his coming
He had considerable difficulty in
locating Mr.. Halls cabin, but finally
discovered II in an out-of-the-way
place. some distance back from the
main road. but was unable to find any
trace OF the man he was looking for
There appeared TO be nobody about
the premises and Mr.. Trout was about
to give up his search and start home
when he concluded to make furth-
er investigation in the interior OF the
cabin. He succeeded in getting into
the house through the back door. but
was at FIRST unable to find any evi-
dence OF the whereabouts of its ten
ant Just as Mr. Trout was about to
give up his quest in despair he heard
a moan under the bed and on stoop-
ing down TO see what had caused 1t
found Mr. Hall lying on the floor in
his underclothing in a comotose con-
oition.
Mr. Trout placed the unconscious
man in bed and drove his machine TO
Putnam brothers ranch. four or ave
miles down the road. 10 obtain help
in getting Mr.. Hall to a place where
he could be given proper attention
Threshers were at work on the Put
nam ranch and couple of men were
sent back with Mn Trout TO assist in
caring for the unfortunate man. who
was subsequently conveyed by auto
mobile to the Putnam residence and
DR.. Hinshaw at westcliffe. seventeen
miles away. summoned to his bed
side. An examination by the physi-
clan showed that Mr.. Hall was suffer
ing form an attack OF appoplexy and
that his condition was serious
Arrangements were made by Mr..
Trout before leaving for Canon City
to have Mr.. Hail taken to westelIffe
by wagon today and brought here by
train on Thursday. If he is strong
enough to make the journey. How
long he had been unconscious when
Mr.. Trout reached his cabin there is
no means CT knowing. but IT is be-
lieved that he had been in a como
tose state for at least twenty-four
hours. perhaps. longer The last time
that he was seen previous to the ar
rival of Mr.. Trout was about noon on
Sunday.

events in many a day was the

from tables arranged in the form of
a letter u, and decorated with Christ
mas ferns and pink carnations. The

which were of the state flower, the
clover. A huge birthday cake gaily
decorated with the correct number Of
candles was an object of special in
