REPUBLICANS, WITHOUT
AN EFFECTIVE ISSUE

It remains to be learned what cam
paigu issue the Republicans can raise
in their futile efforts this fall TO de-
feat Wilson and prevent the Demo-
cratic party from a continuance an
power.
American citizens were being slaugh-
tered at Cananea in Mexico, earnest
appeals were sent to Washington for
protection and Roosevelt, then presi-
dent, refused to Let an American SOL
dier 60 to their assistance. President
Wilson has not only protected our
citizens, but now has Large army
OF U. s. soldiers on Mexican soil
searching for bandits who occasionly
commit raids north Of the boundary
aine.
Gemrany has yielded to Wilson's
demand regarding submarine warfare
and conceded all points raised, and
We hear of no more passenger ships
being torpedoed. The accomplishing
OF this one event is worth more to
the civilized world than all the mon
ey we have expended ON our navy.
The tariff bugaboo that has furnish
ed the Republicans campaign thund-
er heretofore, will afford them small
consolation, as the presidents tariff
bill Is now ready for passage, Great
ing non-partizsn tariff commission.
The financial bill, now enacted into
law by a Democratic congress has
not only saved the nation from be-
ing plunged into a disastrous panic
on account Of the European war, but
will safely prevent all future panics.
President Wilson and a Democratic
congress have already passed a bdll
for the enlargement of our navy and
standing army to such proportions as
win insure safety from foreign ma
tions In case of defense. and the
Spectators in war material stopped
FROM further robbery by the establish
ment of a $11, ,0OO. 900 munition plant.
Americanism for America is writ
ten deeply in the Democratic plat
form, thereby depriving Republican
orators Of expounding our lack of 10y
atty to the nation. All these precau
tons have been taken without show
of militar!sm or exciting the jealous
les OF foreign powers, and all loyal
and peacelovdrg Americans will
strive by their votes, and otherwise,
to retain the same peaceful relations
that now exist.

A LvcEuM COURSE
FOR oiLPiN COUNTY

Most people are familiar with the
ChautsuquRs held every summeF In
the progressive emall towns all over
the United States. The Lyceum
Course might be termed the "Winter
Ctautauqua." 1t is an attempt to
bring to the small town ON the aver
age OF once month high class en-
tertainmenk. The need for such up
lifting entertainme mt in Gilpin coun-
ty win be a.mitted without argu-
ment; the question is how to obtain
1t without too great cost. A number
OF the citizens Of Central City believe
the answer lies in well-supported
lyceum course.
At any rate few months ago ten
Of the business and professional men
Of Central City got together in con-
ference With a representative OF a
Lyceum Bureau and decided to find
out whether the people of Gilpin
county are sufficiently interested in
high grade entertainment to be will
ing to attend and support such en-
tertainments il they were brought
here. So these men signed a condi-
tion contract which provides that If
sufficient number OF season ticlnsts
he sold by certain date the con-
tract becomes binding upon them but
IL not It becomes void. A manager
was appointed and as tile time has
now come for tire test to be made he
will call upon the people within the
next week and give them the oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation of
this progressive move by simply sign
ing contract to take as many sea
son tickets as the family Gan use at
the rate of 5000 for adults, and $1.00
for school chiddren, to be paid for
next September If enough tickets are
sold; otherwise contract to be void.
The season tickets admit to each
and every one of the five entertain
ments.
The men backing this movement
have investigated the bureau and ta-
lent as far as possible and believe
them to be excellent. The following
men have signed tie contract: Ben
nett e. Seymour. H. H. Lake, Robert
H. Sayre, VIM. Anger, Lawrence w.
Coffman, w. U. S. Parsons, G. A.
Ashbaugh, j. r. Rule, B. P. Thomas,
and A. S. Jessup, manager.
These men assure the people tfat
this is no money making scheme for
amy person or organization that
should any money be made, it would
either be put into an improved course
ter the following year or into some
public institution from which the pub
lie generally will receive benefit. On
the other hand they fear they will
lose money the first year and, in fact
are willing to lose small sum apiece
IN order to rin this great need for
Gilpdn county, hut You can help make
that loss very small by subscribing
your name for al the tickets you can
use.
Talk it over with the family and
be ready to put your name down
when the manager calls.
