received a scathing denunlcatlon from

FOR GOVERNOR, SAM. o. NIcHoL-
SON.

Colorado is fortunate state mas
much as she has seldom had a mistit
| in the governors chair and the people
as a whole are to be congratulated for

class Of men put into office. We are
on the eve of another election to fill
this and other important offices in the
city, state and government, and it is
extremely important that only the
candidate who is best qualified be
sent to represent us.
Sam d. Nicholson's announcement
that he would be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
was hailed with joy by everyone in
terested in having the affairs of state
managed in a business-like way by a
man whose past record has proven
his worth and fitness for the high Of
flee. This captain of industry is a
strong advocate of progressive legis-
lation, has plenty of initiative, is not
the tool of any ring or clique, and
stands first, last and all the time for
the right.
There is little doubt but that he
will secure the nomination at the pri-
maries, to be held September II; af-
ter that there will be nothing left
but the shouting. 1t is well to know
in casting your vote that it is given
to friend who will guard your in
terests as Zealously as he would his
own and we. above all people, need 4
friend at court We may need his
support later, he needs ours now; let
us give it to him with a royal good
will.

"WHAT DO l GET OUT OF
TIP"

With reference to any body Of
men organized for business, moral
or social advancement, the most
cowardly question any member
can possibly PROFOUND, and the
one which harnesses and disgusts
the real workers-the real sacri-
fcers-is "What do l get out of it."
Did you ever stop to think that
all progress of the human race in
achievement and development is
exactly measured by the Surplus
put into the effort to 60 forward?
Suppose all people in all ages had
put forth just enough energy to
subsist-that they had taken out
just as much as they had contrib
uted to the general welfare.
Suppose every inhabitantt to have
stopped at the beginning Of every
suggested improvement, scratched
his barbaric head, squinted one
eye knowingly and inquired "What
do ! get out OF it?" Tits difficult
to conceive or conjecture what the
result would be today, but the
chances are the human family
would be dwelling in caves, clad in
skins and fighting over the bones

of animals slain with stone axes,
or, perhaps, even hanging from
their respective tails from banyan
trees in the jungles of Africa.
Can you imagine the Apostle
Paul asking "What do / get out of
it?" before writing his great epis-
ties? Is it possible for you to
think of Martin Luther or John
Wesley asking it? Where would
our civilization be today if Burns
had demanded money before writ
ing ITO Mary in Heaven" or if
Benjamin Franklin had demanded
q check before presenting the
cause Of the colonies to the French
Court, or if Washington had hest
tated to cross the Delaware because
there was no money in it for him,
or if Whittier, Holmes, Bryant,
Lowell and Longfellow had refused
to write, or Brooks, Phillips, Chan
hing, Emerson, Beecher and Moody
had refused to speak, or Edison,
Morse, Whitney and Howe had
ceased to invent, or Grant and
Sherman had turned back, or the
majestic Lincoln and matchless
Lee halted because the pay was
uncertain and the result in doubt?

can not, we must not ask this silly

WAR AND TRADE.

In the case of every war there is
cause which is fundamental and
persisting, and another cause that's
immediate and provocative. Back
Of the young man on the running
board stretches long vista of his
tory and politics. Above the miles
of bayonets, titanic forces hover.
When Austria Hungary declared
war on the little Balkan State of
Serbia, it was not because Of the
archduke's death. Nations do not
hold each other responsible for the
deeds of maniacs.
Be not deceived. jealousy
among the nations mainly con-
corning trade routes--is the cause
of the war in Europe; and this
jealousy stretches backward to the
time when the fastest mode of
transportation was ali OK cart aud
the most deadly weapon was a
stone hammer.
The nations are fighting to de-
eide which one has the. best right

"trade" is not the high ambition of

The world is full Of contradic-

THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.

In a coEy little cottage
In the darkness OF the night
Came a scene that all the future
For a wife. will surely blight.
She was happy-was this maiden
Happier still was he her pride.
They had planned and toiled together
And had hoped, until lie died.
And they dreamed their lives would be
Thus spent In happiness and peace;
But, alas! the hour of midnight
Cause the lovely dreams to cease.
On his way from home to duty
: AS he'd gone SO oft before,
Knowing not that death was waiting
Or that plans were now in store.
At the crossing of the railroad,
Where the light was very dim,
Came a friend with vile intentions
Babe this husband 60 with him.
"Come." he said, with me out yonder
AT that house where must go
To vile and corrupt woman
Who has made her life just so,
"She has kept back all my clothing,
Can't you some assistance lend
To fellow when in trouble
have always been your friend"
II must 20 now," thought her husband;
"They have really wronged this man,
And I'll do my duty ever
To o'erthrown this dirty plan"
Back they rambled in the darkness
Gained an entrance-went inside;
Found the female demon waiting
Crouching by another's side.
In this room where friend had led him
He her husband-gave his life;
Through his body went bullet
Sent by someone in the strife.
Oh. my God, why was he taken
From life that was her own?
Why did he for others suffer
Give his life, as Christ had done?
Yet she reads within her Bible
That in Heaven all is bliss
And II parted from your loved ones
That their faces you'll not miss.
But when yonder with the angels
Heller huSDand-giadly stands;
He will ever always miss her
Until they shall clasp glad hands.
Husband, dear. yes, you have left me-
You my hope and you my flower
Until God has Joined us yOnder,
Can forget that midnight hour.
