Remove Old ShaCkS
and Do Some Painting

Have you noticed that quite a
number Of the people about Idaho
Springs are painting up, and how
n uch nicer it looks? We believe
that others will follow, aud soon
this will lcok like a new town.
Paint not only makes house look
better, but preserves it as well. A
town we'll painted (but not red
gives a splen d d Impression to
strangers, and makes it look like
we have some pep"
1t seems, too, that if some of
the Sc old shacks that never were
painted, and wi, never be of any
use to anvene, coald be torn down
iaq, it w. uld add greatly to the
afpeara, Of Idaho Springs. There
are two ur three Oh our beautiful
SoIt hill hat look perfectly hid
eous aud make one have the
"cregIs.' Could,.'t these be re-
nov Il?
The town would be better off
with many of these unusa Bile shacks
Torn down, and then when our
town begins to gro" (and it is
going toy they could be replaced
with mo- t modem homes.
There is no reason why we should
not grow If the { ty will take it
upon itself 70 2a Il things along
aud make every Improvement that

BALTIMORE, December 4-The
Just Government League Of Balti-

women, has agreed that corrupt boss
ism must be eliminated from munici-

complished is the matter that they
are not agreed upon.

already at work on a plan for re-

Blames ~Male Electorate.n
Entire blame for the corruption of
politics is laid upon the Indifference
of the male electorate" by Mrs.
chairman of the advisory committee
Of the republicans in the recent cleo
ton and is an active worker in the
Just Government League.
Time, publicity and education are
to be the three weapons against cor
rupt BOSSES" stated Mrs. Schwarz.
I'VE do not blame the bosses them
selves for the present organization of
politics.
Men have been just too Indifferent
and too lazy to bother about whether
they have had good or bad leadership.
Though we do not mean to elect wom-
en- to office just to have women repre-
sented by members Of their own sex,
we certainly feel that good instru-
ment against bossism will be to have
women in Office where women ought
to be, or wherever q woman is found
peculiarly fitted for public work"
Says League Has Definite Plans.
Mrs. Charles e. Ellicott, chairman
OF the League Of Woman Voters, said
that organization has made no definite
plans for eradicating bossism.
II we succeed in making the cleo
torate 100Aper cent intelligent, bosses,
VIII, indeed, find 1t hard to corrupt
politics. Our present plan is to edu-
cate women, to inform them about all
national. state and city matters of
interest to them as voters"
The National League of Woman
voters. It was explained. declared that
political bossism must go. and that it
is the woman's responsibility to see
that 1t Is banished. Each state or
ganization, however. has been left to
devise its own means for carrying out
this campaign.
Warns the Republicans.
II the republicans are patting them |
selves on the back as a result of the
recent election in the belief that the |
women are opposed only to democratic |
bossism, their pride In their own or
ganization must surely have a fall.
We Will not tolerate bossism' from |
either republicans or democrats" said !
one well-known woman, who refused |
to be quoted, "and If the republicans /
feel safe because we voted for them
this first time, they must look to their
conduct. for we will thwart any little
