THE VESTS CANDIDATES

~ EVER in the history of the
~ west have so many
statesmen arisen to COM
mand attention as presidential
possibilities. That any of these
several statesmen will get the
nomination, much less be elect
ed, is almost impossible, owing
to the long standing tradition
that the president must come
from east of the Mississippi.
Among men from the Pacific
Coast who have attained ma
tional prominence and are de-
serving of more or less consi-
deration are Senators George
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and
Hiram Johnson, of California.
Although of different political
faith, they have, nevertheless
played important roles during
the present administration.
Oregon's senator handled the
military affairs committee in a
highly capable manner and his
qualifications are, perhaps, far
greater 'han many fasteners

nection with the next CAM
paign.
Not to be outdcne by its
neiehboring states. y ashington
is staging a boom for its senator
Miles Poindexter. Idaho, like
wise, comes in with Senator
Borah. Both have been con- Il
spicuous figures in the recent 4
history OF the nation, Borah in
some cases much more favor
ably than his Washington col
league.
If the west cannot overstep
and put forth some
man worthy to be considered i
for the presidency, it has at I
least men by whom it can mea- 5

"Over the Top for
Roosevelt Memorial

"The raising of Clear Creek s
quota for the Roosevelt Memorial
association is the easiet job we
ever tackled. The people look
upon it as privilege to be identi-
fed with the spirit of Theodore
Roosevelt, and there is no ques-
ton that his spirit lives and is a
vital force" This is what j. w.
B. Smith told the Siftings when
asked how the people were sub
scribing to the county's quota for
the Roosevelt Memorial.
The credit for the work is large
ly due to the good friends at Sill
yer Plume, Georgetown, Empire
and other communities, and es-
pecially to the Boy Scouts OF
Idaho Springs.
Clear Creek will go over the top.
The spirit of the illustrious
American Theodore Roosevelt
still lives and will live, in Clear

Be Courteous Over Phone

Let us at all times be courteous.
For some unknown reason many
people who profess to be we'll bred
feel that they are privileged to be
rude when talking over the tele-
phone. For instance it is not un-
common to answer the phone and
be greeted with the who is this?'
1t is not at all probable that that
same person would approach you
on the street with the remark
Who are you?' Yet the effect up
on the person interrogated is much
the same.
Many persons object to giving
their names or even telephone
number from which they are talk
ing. When one is given, the de-
sired connection by Central it
might be we'll to say, "this is John
Jones speaking, may | talk with
Mr.. Smith, please" Mr.. Smith
then knows with whom he is con
versing or If some one else an
swers the phone Mr.. Jones may be
informed of who has called.
Many other instances might be
cited in which conversation over
the phone could be improved up
on.

That truth Is more interesting than

has been enjoyed by THE Lady of the
Dugout," which is to be shown at the
Strand today and tomorrow.
This picture which was produced by
AL Jennings, the reformed bandit and
outlaw, who was pardoned by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is based opon a dra-
matte experience in the career of the
former law breaker. 1t shows that
these men who would not hesitate ia
wreck a train OF dynamite a bank
would not allow a cowardly wretch to
prosecute a defenseless woman,
Jeopardizing his own safety and the
safety of his band, Jennings made the
fight for this woman his fight, and
the woman learned to love n of the
bandits.
The final parting between Frank
Jennings and the lady in which it Is
disclosed tina they have learned to
love each other but hat there can't be
happiness for them, inasmuch as he
is a fugative from justice, carries an
appeal of such heart interest as must
