The Alamosa bank failure
turns out to be very serious.
The assets are purely speculative
but the liabilities are all sound.
Perkins, the New York Life
Insurance thief, got his start in
Denver. This may account for
some of Denver’s meanness. He
may have inoculated the town
before he left.
One of the “messenger boys”
in a New York insurance com
pany signed notes to the amount
of 51,500,000 just to help the
company. It is a wonder the
company didn’t make him pay it,
taking the amount out of h»3 sal
ary. —Kansas American.
Pat Crowe gives it out that he
once had a plan to kidnap Rocke
feller and shake him down for
two millions. His partner in the
enterprise got a case of cold feet
and the deal was declared off. Had
Crowe actually carried out his
plan it would have done much to
mitigate his other offenses, par
ticularly if he had kept him a
good long time.
Things are coming hard for
ticket brokers in Colorado. As a
result of certain court decisions
the Denver ticket brokers are
closing up their offices and here
after the only ticket scalping that
can be done will be by the indi
vidual owning the tickets or by
isolated agents, such as barber
shops, pool halls and real estate
men who scalp one occasionally.
It is interesting to note at this
time that in spite of all that was
said about digging the Gunnison'
tunnel in something like two
years, that now after more than
six months of continuous work
they are less than one mile count
ing both ends of the bore. It is
fair to assume that each foot ad
vanced will show fresh obstacles
and it will be luck indeed if the
tunnel is completed in time to
turn in water for the 1908 crop.
a s * x mile tunnel is no
kindergarten job.
That usually very sensible
Democratic paper, the Salida
Mail, suggests that Roosevelt
should resign because evidence
taken by the New York legislative
investigating committee has dis
closed the fact that several of the
corporations contributed to the
Republican national campaign
funds. The suggestion is asinine
in its absuridity and reeking with
ridiculousness. Republicans and
Democrats generally are well sat
isfied with everything Roosevelt
has done and all thinking people
anxious to bring about purity in
politics realize that through
Koosevelt more than any other
one man at present is such a con
dition possible of being brought
about or approximated.—Lake
City Times.
We fully agree with the Times
utterance on the question, but is
not the suggested resignation
fully as t-imely and sensible as
was the wild howl of republican
idiots for Teller’s resignation
when it was discovered that there
were a few fraudulent votes cast
for him? And, by the way, did!
not we read something of that j
sort in the Times, or is it just a
lapse of memory? It was one of |
the stock editorials in the reper
tory of tlie g. o. p. syndicate that
has been editing so many republi
can papers for the past year.
We note that many of our ex
changes are commenting unfavor
ably upon the fact that on her
trip to the Orient Miss Alice
Roosevelt was the recipient ot
many valuable presents from dig
nitaries whom she chanced to
meet. Considering what the cus
tom is over there we are at a loss
to understand what the critics
would have had her do. To de
cline a present, no matter what
its value, would have been an un
pardonable insult, equivalent to
failing to acknowledge a respect
ful salutation in this country.
The fact is that being the Presi
dent’s daughter she is more
closely watched than would be a
less distinguished young person
Her critics were seeking some
thing to cavil at. So far as all
reports go Miss Roosevelt is a
very worthy daughter of this
nation’s most distinguished Presi
dent. She is womanly, kind
hearted and brave. She does not
inflict unnecessary pain and would
not embarrass her host or hostess
by a refusal ot what their custom
marked as proper and right. If
this nation never has more cause
to complain of the conduct abroad
of its official or unofficial repre
sentatives than it has of Miss
Alice Roosevelt on her recent
trip, they will have no cause to
lose sleep for fear the dignity of
the country has not been properly
upheld.
James Warford and Walter
Kenley, the first having been
sent to the pen from Montrose
several years ago for a short term,
and the latter being a deputy
riding the trains between Tcllu
ride and Montrose last year
during a strike, have been con
victed of assault to kill the sheriff
of Teller county while he was try
ing to capture them after they
had held him up.— Montrose Press.
The above shows the class ot
cattle that were given power a**
peace officers during the reign ot
that prince of mountebanks, Pea
body. This man Kenley was
authorized to travel on the tram
’from Telluride to Montrose and
put off anyone suspicioned ol
having sympathy for the miners
in their strike. It is to the dis
credit of a large number ot per
sons who were put off trains by
him that he lived long enough to
try to kill the sheriff of Teller
county.
There is a noticeable silence on
the part ot the republican news
papers concerning the disclosures
showing the absorption of policy
holders’ money by the republican
campaign funds. Louis F. Post,
writing in “The Public” says that
this silence is “as grand in its way
as the grand old party itself,”
adding: “There is an air of
modesty about them which re
calls the modesty of one of
Cable’s ‘Cajan characters, who
was so modest he was al
most shy.’ Nor are the man
agers of the party a bit more
ostentatious. Observe, for ex
ample, Cornelius N. Bliss, the
treasurer, who received aid dis
bursed this boodle in behalf of
the republican presidental candi
dates. He has ‘nothing to say
to anyone at any time on any
matter in connection with this
subject.’ There you have the
kind of silence that usually goes
with addition and division. And
Mr. Chairman Cortelyou, who
succeeded to Hanna’s place in
the work of pointedly soliciting
unlawful contributions of this
character out of corpoiation
treasurers, he, too, is silent. As
to Mr. Roosevelt, he is by no
means as loquacious as he was
before this annoying thing got
found out.”—Commoner.
