Whereas, The people of our nation
mourn the loss of Theodore Roosevelt
patriot, soldier, statesman, and Pres
ident of the Republic, who departed
this life on January 6, 1919, at an hour
when not alone our nation, but the
whole world, most needed the aid OF
his fearless and powerful mind in the
period of reconstruction following the
Great War; and
Whereas, Irrespective of creed or
political affiliation, this great citizen
enjoyed the affection and respect OF
all our people to degree unexcelled
by any man in the history of our ma

an example of true Americanism,
maintaining the dignity Of America at
home and abroad, and as an exponent

An Ugly Habit

We do not say it with a desire to
injure the feelings of any particular
person In Idaho Springs, but we feel
the majority of our people are agreed
that there is a tendency on the part
of a few here to find fault with every
public proposition that is brought for
ward, to knock" every needed i'm
provement. 1t is not only in Idaho
Springs that this Is true, for every
town has one or more people of this
class. But we are concerned with our
own town solely. and we do not care
how many knockers other towns have,
we want to get rid of ours.
AS good a place to live in as we
have here it could and would have
been better il the knockers had not
crept in. No man or set OF men can
hope to run the town to suit every
body, but we believe all of them who
have any say in public matters are
doing their best to make this bigger
and better town. They are apt to
make mistakes. They wouldn't be
human II they didn't. But the best
way to help them prevent mistakes is
to a d them when they are tryinG to
aid you.
II you see something about town that
needs attention, don't go off saying,
"The town officials are not doing their
duty" Call their attention to it ana
offer suggestions Help them all you
can, TO ryou are helping yourself at
the same time. We have q whole lot
of room here for the man who boosts.
But there isn't a foot of ground on
which the knocker or fault-finder
should find a welcome in this com
munity.

Nation Going Through
sReadjustment Period

What Uncle Sam calls "the re3djust-
ment period" is now on. He means
that the time is rolling around again
to where Idaho Springs people can
have two spoons of sugar in their cof-
fee and bread made of all-wheat flour
without feeling like they're stealing
from a soldier. He means that days
of profiteering are near an end and
that high wages are not going TO
longer tempt people to leave Idaho
Springs for some other point. only to
find that by the time they pay high
board bills they are worse Off than
If they had remained here.
But to hasten these times he says II
will still be necessary to make few
more sacrifices. He wants the farmer
to go right ahead getting good prices
for his products, which cannot be done
if we do not start in now to live as II
we were out of the woods. He wants
to keep the price of clothing from
soaring when 100000 men have to
return to wearing civilian suits In
stead of khaki. He wants to help the
weekly papers of this country. too,
and that's why he urges you to make
good use of every scrap OF paper.
1t won't be long now until we'll be
living as cheaply as we did before the
war, and maybe with more money IN
bank than we had when it started.
But we have got to save at both ends
and sacrafice little while longer II
we realize that time as soon as wed
like to realize it.

For the benefit of the initiated it
may be explained that the Denver

be admitted that the Post added one
more element of proof to the fact that
it is the most artful dodger in the
journalistic field. Its demurrer over

SPRINGS COLO. FRIDAY. JANUARY "a. 1919
Direct Primary Law
May Be Improved Upon

In nearly all Western states efforts
will be made to reform the direct pri-
nary nomination laws.
These reforms will proceed along
,wo lines-allowing state and county
conventions and making the primary
effective.
The latter line of reform includes
preservation of political party lines
and requiring majority vote to decide.
The abuse of the Non-Partisan
league registering as one of one party
and putting out party nominees on its
own platform is aimed at.
The absurdity OF candida running
on a ticket as Republicans or Demo
Gratis but really bound hand and foot
to a socialist platform is apparent.
In cities, progress in primary cleo
ton reform is simple-any candidate
at primary who has a majority of all
votes is declared elected.
Nominations in city elections are
made on petition and are not partisan
and majority at the primary elects
thus obviating another election.
This provision also shortens the bal
lot, as there are only contests for the
remaining offices in which case the
two receiving highest vote run.
County and state conventions are
valuable educational gatherings in the
training of citizens for political duties
and must be restored.
In case of denominations or candi-
date running without opposition there
is no need of direct primary, the
county or state convention nominating.
Nominations over which there Is a
spirited contest may well be left to
the direct primary by the county or
state central committees, majority to
decide.
This primary election can be held at
the same time delegates are chosen in
the precincts for the county conyen-
ton, delegates bound by precinct vote.
Reforms on those lines would save
expense. shorten the ballot and pre-
serve party harmony, and neither
party organization or direct voting at
the primary be destroyed, as both have
valuable features.

Mining Activities Of
Upper Clear Greek

Because of the death of William
Cooper, who was to have managed the
operations on the Cory City proper
ties, the work in the mine will be de-
layed little time until a new man.
ager can familiarize himself with tht
plan sas previously outlined.
Many inquiries are being made for
silver properties, which would indi-
cate a revival of mining in the near
future. Owners, however. are holding
out for such prohibitive prices it may
cause prospective investors to seek
investments elsewhere, thus leaving
us in the same old rut in which we
are now groveling.
Regular shipments are now being
made from the Colorado Central mill.
which is running to its full capacity
and turning out a good grade of con
centrates. Attention is also being de-
voted to extracting the reserves ex-
posed in the mine, when with the bet
ter grade of concentrating material
much greater saving may be looked
for
Work is to be resumed in the near
future, under lease and option, on the
old Shiveley mine on Brown noun
tain The property has been devel-
oped by shaft from which ore has
been produced that milled from 5000
to $3.50 per ton according to class.
More recently a cross-cut was driven
which intersected the bottom y the
shaft, but for some reason unknown
to the writer, the vein was never do
veloped to determine its value.
A well-grounded rumor is prevalent
that the Revenue mine In the Geneva
district has been sold by Frank Smith
to eastern capitalists. The property
consists of a number of lodes
lying parallel to each other, and these
have been intersected by the Brit
ania tunnel at depth of about 500
feet. A large production has been
had, the ore being rich in silver and
carrying some gold. Recent examine
tions show much ore in reserve, but
as the workings are badly caved 1t
will take some time in retimbering
and cleaning the drifts before the for
mer production can again be main
tanned.
Because of the decline in prices of
lead and zinc ore. the Wasatch- Colo
rado Mining and Milling company
have discontinued all work Of stopping
on ore, and have directed all energy
to development work. The fourth and
fifth levels in the Mendoza shaft will
be pushed to their boundary line. both
east and west, and it is probable that
the company will decide on sinking
the shaft one or two more lifts and
drive drifts therefrom. Since the price
Of lead and zinc is expected TO stay
low for q full year the company has
plans for developing and blocking out
ore for that period.
Workmen are now engaged In re-
pairing the covering on the Nashotah
mill and other buildings. The lower
workings of the Cory vein contain
large bodies OF iron ore which carries
good gold values. These will be mined
and milled in the company's mill. In
addition the Desch tunnel will be con-
tinued on into the Wisconsin vein and
it is aimed to cut deep into what Is
known at the White-Potter pocket
and this will undoubtedly bring the
mine back to its former balmy days
OF production.

 Court Imposes Sentence.
 Four Bridgeport youths appeared before Judge George G. Griswold last breaking into the East Berlin station Q few weeks ago and robbing the gum machines. Judge Griswold discharg- ed two of the boys, Vincent Geoghe- gan and Walter Gilbert, but placed the other tWo Harold Geoghegan and stephen Horace, on pro bation with d sentence to the Cheshire refOrmatory over their heads. The boys came here from Bridgeport to find work, due to the lack of employment in that city. They found work in Cromwell at Pier sons greenhouses and worked there for a time until one of the boys mother came here ito get them. A few weeks ago the boys stopped in East Berlin and broke into the station. After this escapade they returned to Bridgeport, supposing that they would never be found out. The railroad de- tectiVes were called in on the case and immediately found out that these boys had been seen about the station on the night of the burglary.
 The GeOghegan boys and the Gilbert boy do not look as though they made a practice of thieVing as they appear to be good boys. The Horace boy ap- pears to be the ringleader and has been up before the Bridgeport courts heretofore to answer to several charges He appears to be an impossi- bility as far as improving is con- Cerned.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look Young! Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Darhens so Naturally
 Nobody Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this old-t time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied It's so easy to use, too. You simply danpen comb or soft brush, and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.
