DeNvER's MAYOR DIES

Robert w. Speer, Denver's mayor
and founder of the City Beautiful, is
no more, death from pneulsonia hav-
ing claimed him last Tuesday at his
residence. just as the sun was sink

whose rarified atmosphere had trans
formed him from an invalid to one
of robust health. An allwise Gre

while yet the bloom of health was
upon the check and the mantle of
usefulness enshrouded his active
form.
Thrice called by the majority of
his people to preside over the des-

Mayor r. w. Speer is no more.
He has passed to that realm where
sleep the unnumbered dead. Stones
and lettered monuments bear the in
sigma of the resting place of many
of Colorado's great men, but Mayor
Speer will live in Denver's history
as long as that magic city survives.
His aim in life was to make his
adopted city attractive and to carry
out that aim he visited many cities
of renown in foreign lands that he
might the better be fitted to per-
form his task and make Denver the
\ cosmopolitan city of the west, and
In this he was signally successful
as his system of boulevards, sunken
gardens and civic center attest.
AS a builder he allowed his vision

that enabled him to photograph upor

state.
He builded nightly and he build

memory marble column erected in

human figure, with face upturned
and outstretched hand. reckoning all
