Judge Cooperhas
Made Fine Record

Judge James L. Cooper is candi-
date before the people OF Fremont
Chaffee. Custer and Park counties for
reelection as judge OF the Eleventh
Judicial district. and his friends are
confident that he will not only receive
the united support of the Republican
party, but will be given aid and en-.
couragement by the enemy" in his am
bition to succeed himself on the
bench. Judge Cooper has made a
splendid record in Office. and is pop
ular with the attorneys OF the dis
trict; with litigants who have busi
ness in court and with the public
generally. He possesses a judicial
mind, wide acquaintance with the
law and its practice and an innate
sense of right and justice; qualities
that are essential for success in the
position he seeks. Cases adjudicated
in Judge Cooper's court are almost in
variably affirmed when taken on ap-
peal to a higher tribunal for deter
mination. No better tribute could be
paid to his rectitude and efficiency
than this.
Although born in Iowa, he has spent
practically all of his life in Colorado
and. like the loyal citizen he is, he
believes it to be the best state in the
Union. Judge Cooper was graduated
with the first class of the Canon City
High School, and completed his edu-
gan. He has been a student all of
his life, and his work in school and
college has been greatly deepened
and broadened by later research and
investigation, which have fitted him
for the sterner duties and RESPONSE
bilities of professional life. That he
has made good in all phases of citi-
zenship is a just recompense and re-
ward of his devotion to the right as
he understands it, and to his conscien-
tious adherence at all times to the
principles of equity and Justice.
Fremont county is proud of Judge
Cooper and will give him vote next
month that will take him under the
wire more than a winner. The good
opinion which he has created in the
other counties of the district is favor
able to his candidacy there, and when
the votes are counted on the ides of
November. it will be found that he
has been elected by a safe majority.
Patriotic, honest, efficient and Of
sterling worth as a citizen, the people
the Eleventh Judicial district will do
well to continue Judge Cooper on the
bench for another six years He Is
a Republican by conviction. but
places .'Old Glory and the e;pationality
it represents above party considers-
tions. To him the flag Of his coun-
try is the highest expression of gov
ernment of the people. for the people
and by the people yet evolved by man.
and he will jealousy defend its honor
and integrity under all circumstances
and all conditions.

worker for reform of prisons. At
the outbreak of the war she volun-
teered her services and was made
superintendent of women nurses.
For her work the government pre-
sented her with two beautiful flags
as she would accept no money. She
later gave the flags to Harvard Col
lege where they still stand in
Memory Hall in honor of her mem
DRY.
Another worker for the soldiers
was Clara Barton, She obtained a
pass from the government and went
behind the lines and there in the
midst of disease and dirt she spent
four years nursing Northerners and
Southerners alike.
After the Civil War Miss Barton
went abroad for a rest and there
for the first time learned of the
Red Cross. During the Franco
Prussian War in 1870, she saw the
medical STATS of both armies work
ing together. They accomplished
so much in such a short time that
she decided to introduce the Red
Cross in America. She had found
that the ideals that had led the
women of America to lend their SER
vices in the Civil War were the
same as those of the Red Cross
which are Humanity and Neutrali-
ty."
Through her efforts in 1882 the
United States signed the Geneva
treaty. She was made it's first
President.

Florence Nightingale was the
founder of the profession of nurs-
ing for women. She was an Eng
fish girl and of wealthy parentage.
All her life she tried to protect
helpless and injured things. In her
childhood it was flowers and ami
mails that she did not like to see
hurt and later it was the soldiers
of her country for whom she cared
The winter Florence Nightingale
came out" she visited London
hospital. She was appalled, by the
unsanitary conditions that she
found existed and then decided to
become nurse. She gave up So
ciety and for twelve years travelled
over Europe studying in the various
hospitals.
After her return to England the
Crimean War broke out and she
was called by the British govern
ment to enter a military hospital
At Scutari she found two thousand
wounded men who had been lying
for days in mud and filth just as
they had been brought in from the
battle fields. The place was alive
with vermin and rats. There were
no beds the men were obliged to
lie on straw which had been scat
tered on the floor. Soap and tow
els were an unheard of luxury, and
there was only one kind of food,
Irish stew Through the efforts of
Florence Nightingale and her corp
Of workers the dirt was cleaned
away, the men bathed and given
clean clothing, good food served
and temporary building were built
The soldiers raised a large sum
Of money for her which she accept

to found the first hospital training

The work of Miss nightingale in
spired young Swiss, Henri Du-
nant to write a book setting forth
the doctrine Of international Red
Cross. AS a result a council of
fourteen nations was called to-
gether in Geneva. Switzerland, in
1864. An international treaty was
adopted which gave he Red Cross
to the world. Under the terms of
the convention each nation agreed
to work with other nations in car
ing for the sick and wounded and
never to fire on doctor, a nurse
or an ambulance bearing the sign
Of the Red Cross. The emblem of
the Swiss banner with the colors
reversed was adopted by the con-
vention as tribute to the nation
that had called them together. To
care for those who need it regard
less of race or creed is the aim of
the Red Cross.
At this time there was no Amer
lean Red Cross. The care Of the
sick and wounded was in charge of
what was known as THE Sanitary
Commission" In 1860 the great
Civil War broke out and as the
Sanitary Commission was unable to
cope with the situation many indi-
vidual women devoted their lives to
the cause. Among these was Doro-
thy Dix.
