BARRELS TOUCHED OFF
 ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT.
Tisneworn Custom Carried Out by the
 Gangs"

Did you go down to the lot to see 'the gang" burn their barrels or, rather, your barreis, on Thanksgiving night? Several of these gangs of po- torious barrel stealers kept up the timeworn custom of burning barrels Thanksgiving night, and soon after dark last night the lowering skies were 8 deep csd In various sections of the city. It was a thrilling moment for the boy as he touched off the pole. The erection of that pole represented a hard days work and the barrels piled up high in the air were the results of strenuous night" work, for it is after dark that these gangs go proving about your back yard with long, wick ed looking hooks and woe to the barrel that stands unguarded. One quick yank of a hook and over it goes. The contents? Well, as many an early riser knows. the contents are left where the barrel once stood, and 1t is generally up to the young son of the house to clear up the mess Who knows but that he was the one who stole cautiously in though tue back yard at the head of the gang and used the hook so effectively:
 Several hundred of these barrels went up in smoke in Norwich last night and provided "fun'' for many boys, and girls too. On Jail Hill the gang" in that section Of the city had at least two poles, and they touched them off one at a time about o'clock. The flames could plainly be seen from Bath street as they shot fiercely up through the barrels. a
 The Falls gang also had good sized number Of barrels for their burnt offering. The rain did not keep them away from the "doings," as several were seen comfortably seated around the big bonfire Thursday forenoon un- der the shelter of umbrellas.

ONE WAY OUT.

President Wilson recently took the
members of the Washington Press
club into his confidence and inform
Ell them that there were many hard
ships connected with the presidency
He went so far as to say that at
times he contemplated purchasing a
set of false whiskers in order that
he might disguise himself and es-
cape the public gaze. The members
Of the Press club, by the way, did not
make public the Presidents remarks.
On the contrary, they treated them
as confidential. But Mr.. Wilson was
himself so pleased with his utterance
that he furnished copies to the press,
copies were given out at the White
house. If the presidents words are
to be accepted as meaning what they
stand for, it is indeed cruelty for
President Wilson to force DR.. Wilson
to endure another term in the White
house, or even to attempt it. For
however, there is one way

WILSON'S LAMENT.

President Woodrow Wilson uttered
lament at Salisbury, N, c. "There
are some men-I do not believe they
represent the great rank and file Of
the Republican psrty-but the men
who now control the Republican
party, who are looking backward" F"
bewailed Mr.. Wilson. "They have
no sympathy for the forward look
ing men of their own party" con
tinued DIR. Wilson. "Now ] am for
the forward looking men," 1t is in
deed a cruel thing to do to the Dem
ocratic party to look backward over
the record of the Democratic admin
istration. Such look backward
over the record of the Democratic
administration would reveal a rec
ord of inefficiency, vacillation and
corruption which would make every
intelligent and patriotic citizen de-
plore the day when he entrusted to
Wilson and his party the destinies
of the nation. 1t is hardly to be Won
dered that DIR. Woodrow Wilson
should boldly assert that he is for
the forward looking and not for the
backward looking man. So great
philosopher as he keenly realizes the
folly of looking backward, the unes-
capable danger that by looking back
ward the voters may be brought to
realization of their mistake of four
years ago, the certainty that the voter
who looks backward may profit by
and refuse to blunder in
the same way again. Then, too, the

LINING UP FOR ROOSEVELT.

1t is most remarkable how the Re
publican press of Colorado has linei
up for Roosevelt in the last week OF
two. Each week several papers are
added to the list of those in favor OF
Roosevelt for the Republican nonlina
ton at Chicago. At the present time
there are but two or three Republican
papers in the state opposing his nom
ination.
Several of the Republican dailies,
while not particularly opposed to
Roosevelt, are not advocating his
nomination for the reason that they
are perfectly satisfied to let the Chi
eago convention nominate the man
that appears to be the most available
under all the circumstances.
1t is impossible at this time for the
Republicans to determine which is
the most available man. When the
delegates meet in Chicago they viii
be in much better position to cousid-
er the strength of the various can
didates.
1t is argued with good effect that
Roosevelt win be the best man so fai
as the Colorado people are concern
ed, since Coloradoans have always
been strong for him and that he viii
likely carry the state by 10000 ma
jority, but at the same time it is well
for alyl Colorado people to consider
the east and the center and in fact all
sections of the country. The Repub-
Leans should name the best man foi
the country. If the Chicago conven-
ton decides that that man is Roose-
welt, then well and good and Colo
RADIO will give her electoral vote TO the
Oyster Bay man.
1t is argued by many that Hughes
will be better man for the party
and for the country, but it is diff
cult at this time to determine whicl
is the most popular among the mas
ses, for the reason that there are SO
many favoritc sons in the field that
no one can get an exact line up on
the situation until after the first bal
lot at Chicago.
There is no question about the faci
that as the time of the convention ap
proaches, public opinion seems to bC
