Keeping Faith With The People

There should be very general and very strong
popular approval of Governor Shoups demand that the
Colorado general assembly shall keep faith with the
people.
The Republican party in Colorado the state

representatives elected to do the things that
promised to the people the Republican state plat
form.
Now when Governor Shoup calls upon the members
of the legislature to give the people the things that
promised to the people, that only good politics. but
it is very simple matter of honesty and good faith
Those platform pledges of the Republican party
have been summarized in what is commonly known
the governors program and the necessary to
carry that program into effect commonly known

endorsement has been given. In the press of bust

disregarded by Legislators under similar conditions.
Governor Shoup has performed valuable the
party and to the state by calling their attention TO this
neglect The people generally should support the gov
in such way leave no doubt in the lecis-
lators minds.
If the Legislature does nothing than to redeem
the platform pledges and pass the necessary appropra-
ons, will make good record aud deserve public ap-
proval, if it does nothing else.
If the Legislature does not pass The measures
promised in the Republican state platform and urged
upon it by the governor it will make poor record and
it will hurt the Republican party and it will be deserv-
ing of public censure, matter what other things it
may do.

statement of circulation
Every newspaper publisher knows that shs provis-

Is true false, and penalty provided for false
statement. The publisher who is willing to swear to a
lie may do with impunity while the scrupulous
publisher is placed at disadvantage with advertisers
who do not understand how false the postoffcc diff

plainly shown in the of newspapers who make one

The Romance Of Words

TALLY apparent. II Is not. however.
until wo dig back into the principles
OF hcraldry that VIC come upon the

In hcraldry, tho "badgo"-moro tech

which one may become known-ts a
mark similar to the crest though it
was not worn on the helmet. Examples
OF this arc to be found in the three
feathers OF tho Prince OF Wales. the
rcd and white roses of the houses OF
Lancaster andSork and the broom
plant OF the Plantagancts, these being
worn to distinguish their followers
from those who owed allegiance to
other houses. During the reign OF
Henry " tho words badge" and
livery" appear to have been synony-
nous, consisting OF a device or coat OF
arms fastened to tho left sleeve OF the
adhcrcnt Of tho house in question. Up
TO tho time OF Queen Elizabeth these
badges were worn by servants. but
were practically abandoned after that
