Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-03
OUR GOOD NEIGHBoR AND

editor and publisher Of Outdoor Life,
the leading sportsman magazine Of
the country, left Denver this week for
Alaska. He goes with a commission
from the Denver Museum to secure q
collection of Alaskan animal speci-
mems to be placed in the exhibit rooms
when mounted. Two attaches of the
museum went with Editor Mcclure,
and the party intends to remain in
the north country for three months,
hunting the rarest wild animal life of
that vast domain. 1t is hoped to Sc
cure some fine specimens to add to
in the Denver Museum, located on
the east side of City park. Editor Nc
CURE has previously visited Alaska
on a hunting expedition and holds a
record for craftsmanship. The o. P.
feels safe in predicting that he will
come home with some valuable animal
life additions to the museum.
EDWIN A. BROWN, DENVER'S
noted sociologist and author, is now
living at "The Anchorage" ALT West
Thirtieth avenue-which he is con-
verting into real country home. He
came to The Bulletin office one day
IulS WSch W uuNlIc Iuc W. l. Out w
inspect and enjoy the comforts Of a
day in the country, and we are going
to accept the very first chance which
presents to get away from the shop
for a day or two. Out there Mr..
Brown works in his bluejeans suit,
building fences, caring for the flow
ers and shrubbery, and likes it better
than tramping about the earth, for
the war has interfered with his trav-
els and close-hand study of working
mems conditions. Between times he
continues his literary work, and is
completing a new book on sociology
with a war atmosphere, soon to be
published.
THAT WAS AN INTERESTING
bit of war news which came from
Oyster Bay this week. Its good
enough to reproduce here, and reads :
"a life-sized painting of Emperor
William, presented by him to Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt several years ago,
came to grief when party of citizens
visited the home of its possessor, Mrs.
r. C. Pollitz, here. The picture had
been given to the public library by
the colonel and hung there until after
the sinking of the Lusitania. Mrs.
its owner. The incident was forgotten
until the death of Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt, and then the villagers re-
called it. They organized a party and
going to the home of Mrs. Pollitz
demanded the picture. In the strug-
gle on a balcony for its possession
the portrait fell among the vigilantes
gathered in the street. A sailor
promptly put his foot thru it."
FIVE DISTRICT JUDGES ARE
to be elected in Denver this year and
the streets are full of candidates, both
Democrats and Republicans. While
the o. P. is Georgia Democrat, yet
we are strong for the reelection Of
in the Republican primaries. Judge
Butler is not politician, and therein
lies the danger. Most Of his oppo-
nents are. People who sincerely be-
lieve in the administration Of genuine
justice must re-elect him, for the
Judge won't get out and campaign in
the way professional politicians do.
Charles C. Butler is the kind Of q
Judge that brings respect and dignity
to the bench. He is just to all men.
If we had a case in his court there
would be no occasion for empaneling
a jury, for we would accept his judy
ment with the assurance of square
deal, whether for or against US. Judge
Butler should be on the state supreme
court bench, and will be there some
day when the people Of Colorado wake
up to the fact that he is Of type
with the late Justice Steele. If you
are Republican, vote for Judge But
Ter in the primaries, and if Demo
crat; vote for him in the general cleo
