State Business and Personal Politics

The political leaders of Colorado not inferior
character and ability to those of any other state.
They perfectly we'll that their political ambi
ions and interests inferior the interests of the
and of the people And they understand that their
reputation and their influence with the people may be
best maintained and advanced by sincere and
ssten regard for the welfare of the people, and not be
a constant striving for petty personal advantages
Unfortunately the mental ability and the patriotism
of these leaders does not always extend to their euten
ants and corporals and high prvatcs of the ranks
of whom appear think that the ought
to rise above the rim of the eastern plains until their
opinion has been asked concerning the effect its arrival
may have upon the political fortunes of the Hon Mr.
Climber.
Instead of measuring in public life by his
ability the people, and by his integrity they
think only of whether he is friend of this Of
that Instead of considering his record in public
Or to what of the competitive candidates he gave
his support.
The politician who looks upon the work of the
executive of the legislative department of the state
government from that angle gives plain proof of unfit
ness to be trusted with any important political bust
ness. Instead of being help to the leader whom he
trying to serve he only brings dseredit upon him
The people of Colorado quick size up the
who play politics in that way, and the people have
respect or for that kind of politicians.

Probably on account of tho passage
in the Psalms, where the wicked are
compared to the deaf adder which
stoppeth her ear. which will not heark-
en- to the voice of charmers. charming
never so wisely practically all mod
ern languages contain the proverh
deaf as an adder" But We have to go
back to the superstition, prevalent in
the Orient from time immemorisl, that
adders defy the power of tho snake
charmer by pressing one ear into tho
dust. while stopping the other with
their tail. This, OF course. is an abso-
lutte absurdity, since serpcnts have no
external ears. Shakespeare gave ut
torance to the popular belief when he
wrote in Sonnet CNII:
In so profound abysm 1 throw all
care
OF others voices. that my addcrs
sense
To critic and to flattercr stopped arc
II will be argued. of course. that
Shakespcare's use of the popular he-
lief was covered by his poets license,
but tho fact remain that his natural
history appears to have bcen as cr-
roncous MS the construction OF the last
line of the sonnet is Teutonic.

While Neptune and the Sun are in

The chances of success in oil specu-

Office-seckers should not lose a

approa chable and even sympathetic
There is promising sign for all who
| look for employment since those who
exercise authority will be likely to be
, unusually generous in awarding posi-
tionS and salaries.
Selling this day is under a sinister
sway that will be very unlucky for the
stock exchange.
A sensation centcrinE in a. Erea.

Again there muy be dubious reports
concerning certain lines of business
but these will not be f.serious import

The Moon is in a sign that is
beneficial to public revenues and
promises little relief from taxation.
The rise of an American statesman

SPAIN" which is the French equivalent
now widely used in English. has a ro-
nance and history OF its own.
NJ Ouitard tells us that the proverb
dates from the latter part OF tho
eleventh century when Henry OF Bur
gundy crossed tho Pyranees at the
head OF large army in order to win
glory and plunder from the infidels.
Alfonso of Castillo rewarded the Bur
Eundian's services with tho hand of
his daughter Theresa, and the country
of Lusitania-which later. under AL
fonso Hennquez. son OF Henary and
Theresa, became the kingdom of Port
ugal. Tho success OF the Burgundian
venture so stimulated the Imagination
and adventurous spirit OF other French
mobiles, that they. too. began to dream
of castles built in Spain. But they
soon abandoned their ideas of con
quest when they discovered that Span
ish castles were few and far between.

Q. Can sausage be made from NUT

The Basis Of Representation

There to be large number of Americans who
States makes it mandatory upon congress to reduce the
congressional representation in states where the right
to vote at presidential congressional elections
denied abridged The constitution (Section ., 14tb
amendment does not say that congress may do this,
but it says that it shall be done
That the representation Of certain states has not
been reduced thus far not due any lack of power
in congress, but it has been rather doubt to what
would he best for the national interests Just at
ent there seems to be rather than the usual
amount of talk in favor of such action but the
that have prevented the enforcement of the
ly to determine the decision.
On the other hand there is the further demand that
the congressional representation shall be further rc
duccd in proportion to- the number of unnaturalized
aliens who included within the census count
other proposal that would find favor with many per
Is that congressional representation be based upon
the number of persons actually voting congressional
presidential elections The citizen who does
enough about his government to vote has claim
to be represented in congress than has the alien who
vote by law.
These two latter provisions would require the
of another constitutional amendment while
first is already in the constitution and may be put into
effect at any time.
