Wc lia vf received from John J. Mc?
Malian an appeal for th? democratic
party to adopt Tor the protection of
tho primarles the law? of tho state
with reference to general elections.]
Mr. McMahan ls an Idealist, although
lt must he said that his id?ala are)
higfa and lila purpose lofty and his
life in keeping with those ideals. Hut
he is. we fear, too far In advance of
the times, lt was he who in the con
stitutional convention as far back asl
is',r, wished to have an' ordinance!
along the line of what is now com
monly kuown as "eugoi)lcs"Xo pre
vent thc marriage ?'of a good, pure
woman to any man mentally and
physically disqualified for the sacred
hom? relation. It cannot ho said
that he was wrong, hut that the world
was not ready to accept such ? theory.
And so it is, we fear, today. Wc ad
mit that we seo no hug-a-hoo in the
proposition. Nearly every poor man in
the country in registered, If not the
registration machinery is in the
hands of good men who can and will
issue ceritlflcates to any white man
who has lived within tho state long
enough lo qualify. As a matter of
fact tho men who*would ho "disfran
chised/' as some have seen flt to put
lt, are the soculled "rich," who
through business cares or for other
reason have failed to get registered
or havo misplaced their certificates.
We seo no harm in the registration
plan, hut we do not think, it necessary
or expedient? otk thia ti&ie. ?'"will
hayos.to C0P<* some d^y, Jami w$ have
thought t*?sJror:'a uEratme.jtt
Something mult lie dono ti make
the primary mor? business like?" That
is the only short, coming today. The
poll lists are locked up in the'boxes
with the club rolls and brought to
the court house and there they re
main for months, and when the time
comes every second year for another
primary those old club lists aro hard
to find.
We believe that what should be
dono is merely to conduct the elec
tions . in a business like manner.
There ls enough law on the statute
books to prevent or to punish fraud
if that law was ever appealed to. The
governor of the state offered a large
reward two years ,sgo for evidence
to convict and wc- have never heard
of anyone making claim for that re
ward. ./
We believe that all ot the people
would, accept regulations which would
put the primaries on a business .basis.
T??v? the club secretaries and execu
tive committeemen to enroll on the
club lists every white man ' living
within the geographical rhTtrs or trre
jrssnecihrs^nsnckaaM^ >asu?tt?otsT?ottV>
side. Orvo-ample notice so tust" zny
resident may' see tnat his name is
properly enrolled. Let none be over
looked. Then close the lists, say 15
days before the first primary and
let no name be enrolled, except upon
the sworu statement of the applicant
for membership In the club that he
is lawfully entitled to vote there. If
he makes false statement, he can be
prorccuted for perjury and for viola
tion of the election laws, and the fore
knowledge of a few stiff fines will
prevent anything ot that kind. Let
the club rolls be sworn to by thc
club secrctsry and approved by the
county executive committee, and let
the club executive comittce be pres
ent at the polls to assist the managers
In settling nny knotty questions.
The managers of tho election are
not appointed arbitrarily by the coun
ty executive committee,,but by the
executive comltteemen of the respec
tive clubs, and this ls local self gov
ernment.
But we think lt absolutely wrong
for any one to vote In a club other
than In the one nearest to his place
of residence. For instance, suppose
in ono county there should be a CIOBO
elctlon and In another there should
be none. County lines being so nearly
Invisible, what would prevent a man
In one county joining a club just
across the line and voting In the
close election.
In brief, our opinion is that the less
that ls done to the election rules, tho
better lt will bc. Instead of making
the rules complicated and making the
right to vote difficult, let the people
have plain, clear, explicit rules to go
by. Let men vote in the boxes where
tboy are known. Let no suspicious
strangers come In. There is now
enough law as to the use of liquor and
as to other forms of bribery.
As s matter of fact is it not to be
deplored that there ls so much talk
of fraud? Under the law of sugges
tion, we believe that auch talk gives
persons vicious ideas, who never oth
erwise would have thought lt possible
to commit frauds in elections. That
Is just our opinion. The frauds have
not been established. Wo all feel hap
py ove.- the Increase in population in
the state, but whenever any one calls
attention to the Increase in the vot
ing strength, there ls at once a cry
'Nir^cabaan 'may 'k-ibf^lh birt
Intentions, but we tear that he ls
preparing to make too long a reach.
Olva, the peopLa somsthlug. they. can .
that will be fair tb all, and they
?Jil accept li and" will return a pri
mary timi 1H fair and clcail. ?Ve feel
that lb?' people may bo trusted.
\V<' hope tiiut ibo state convention
will art conservatively. If Mr McMa
lian'? plan is adopted, wc believe it
will not cost HO many votes in thc
?tate, nut cannot something simpler
be clone?

take. n'o!e of the concluding words:
The trustees have consistently
refused to allow themselves to be

Tho writer reallied the effort 'and

get new cchool buildings nore to take

buildings- In use one year ago. The
board undertook a thankless work in
which they might have been subjected
to criticism from the same class ot
people who now are throwing their
hats In the air and "whooping 'em up"
for the board.
For our part, we always desired to
sec the things that have been accom

That President Wilson was 'ustificd
by event?, if not In principle, in sond
lng Federal troops to Colorado, and
nore too noon in acting, is evident
f/om Hie shocking details of recent
atrocities. Thc red men of the west 30
and :i? years ago. ba their encounters j
with frontiersmen and United States
soldiers, were scarcely more savage,
save a.; to scalping, than have been
these white men of Colorado.
To tito shame of slaughtered women
and children has been added thc un
speakable crime of tito killing of Maj.
P. P. Lester, a physician hearing the
Red Cross insignia, while engaged in
open viow in endeavoring to save the
life of a wounded guardsman. This
Incident, moreover, and others in
which \'i lives were lost occurred more
than a d-?y after the president of |
thc United States had issued his proc
lamation.
Th.is lt appears to be even more Im
perative than appear.pd earlier In thc
strife that the Federal authorities
shall proceed with rigorous measures
toward thc restoration Of orderly
conditions. This accomplished, it is
neither the duty nor intention of,, the
government permanently to police
Colorado. This ls a duty of t' c state1
-.,.,-. -~ Sfjf
m:-.! . i>>. - -?reter.se of maintaining al
republidan form of government; and |
lt must do so at whatever cost in
money or defeat of trouble-breeding |
factions among the population.
Already Colorado has done Irrepar
able injury to its industries, Its In
stitutions, Its material welfare and its
future. Imperial In natural re
sources and wonders, one of the most
delightful states in the Union to visit
in and travel over, what between its
radical politics.and still more radical
antagonisms duo to disputes of captial
and labor for years has frittered away |
golden opportunities and, with persis
tent disregard for consequences, has
permitted'its own peop'e lo1 sow the
seed of social destruction. And, as
