Tho mooting of Cooh county rop ubllcnns Inst Saturday evening was ns stnted by ono of tho speakers, not n gathering of assembly or nntl nssombly republicans, nor of pro gressives nr stand pntH but Just rep ubllcuiiH who kiivo full nnd free nnd frnnlc oxprosslon to tholn views on vnrloiiH phases of party organization, policy nud principle. The necessity of orKitutxatlon and harmony wore ably set forth. The lined of the party 'to keep abreast of the people was voiced. All sides of current political ques tions were stated. Koine were ao ffj'ted, Home answered nnd others nhsorbwl. It was a healthy discus sion that brought out nil phases of polities. A noteworthy feature of the ove iiIiik was the siiKieatlou of one speaker that I.lnooln had met and solved 'the problem of dealing with the constitution when he made that guat Inatruineut conform to equal rights nnd freodom of all men with out roference to eolor, oraed or country. The demand of the people today fur direct election of U. S. senators will bo solved in n similar innnuor. Tho Lincoln banquet served Its purpose of brlngluK republicans to gether to tnlk ever their common ciuifeo nnd advancing reasons for the fnlth that Is In them. It developed the fact that the spirit of veal rep ublicanism Js the spirit of progress from tho days of Llueuln to the days of Tnft. Wo want party harmony. Wo want to work together as n party. If we nro to hnvo party harmony that nmouuts to anything, It must be tho harmony of health; It must be tho harmony of party soundness; It must bo tho 'party harmony thnt lins nothing in It which falls to rep resent tho demand of tho pooplo nnd that tho party thnt tho government AHSHFIHLD dealers comment upon a falling oft In the de mand for valentines. Not a very serlutts thing, perhaps, but It has Its reason, and a reason that others btwlriea valentine dealers may do well to consider. The first missives sent In honor of St. Valentine were expressions of friendship by neighbors nud ac quaintances nnd of love by thosi bound In closer ties of union. Tho bashful swain took advantage of the latitude allowed during the senson and sent his timid though fervent cplstlo. No doubt grotosquo were some cf the latter nttompts to make the best of tho occasion, nnd from those prob ably arose tho "comic" vnlentlnc. Gradually, however, tho liberty of the season grew Into license, nnd "comic" valentines descended through pnthos into n dangerous af finity to insult, People with n grudge npnliift others took ndvnnt- ngo of this tonson to wound where they dnrod not strlko openly; tho "Joke" was morely an excuse behind which to hide It discovered. Thus the vnlentlnc boenmo degraded nnd eventually discarded. Thero possibly Is danger thnt the Christmas season may follow n simi lar course. So far tho Chrlstmis card has not shown any Indication of this tendency, but tho Christmas tiee certainly hns; almost any pu lie ontertnlnmcnt nt Christinas time Is now made the occasion of offen sive "gifts" by persons having n grudge, nnd taking advantage of the supposed "Joke" In tho gift to humiliate, or attempt to humiliate, some ono they dnro not face openly.

The history of tho nineteenth century Is lllle-l with the reforms which were directed not merely to the Improvement of criminal codes nnd the mitigation of pun ishments for crime, but to the belter cure of the Insane, of pau pers und or prisoners, who had boon treated In the eighteenth century fur worse than uulmnls. I u some of our states and lu tunny countries of ICurope tho death "penalty hns boon abolish ed, even lu cases of murder. Heforo tho era of reform there was little or no public sympathy with tho criminal. Today wo seom almost to hnvo reached tho point where tho sympathy Is so Btrlctly contlncd to tho criminal thnt thero Is none loft for tho victim of tho crime. The aboli tion of capital punishment docs not nppenr to have brought about tho condition postulated by Tnlleyrand, who, when ho ( was urged to support tho aboli tion of the death penalty, said he certainly would If tho mur derers would begin by giving up murder.-Henry Cabot Lodge.

Tho world Is full of cnes of pooplo overreaching themselves by trying to overreach some one ele. Unhappily few of these cases come out to the ml vnutngo of the person overreached, Peter luslee, n prospector, discov ered a rich vein of ore In Colorado nnd sold n half Interest to Kuoch Smlthson, who organized n company for its development. Insleo's share wns all lu the stock of tho company, no owning n few shares less than Smlthson, thus giving the purchaser full control tn tho promises. Inslce did not get any dividends on his stock, nnd being very poor, with n wife nnd u couple of kids to supiwrt, ho wns obliged to sell n few shares occasionally to keep tho wolf from tho door. Meanwhile the price of the stock on tho exchange wns gradually settling. When tho company wns organized a few shares were sold at GO per cent of their par vnlue. As Inslce kept putting It out ho got los nnd less for It (111 he wns obliged to part with con siderable shares nt n time to supply his necessities. After nwhllo he sold the Inst of It for 0 cents on tho dollar. About this time, going by the mine, he saw that n high fence had been put around It. lie strolled tip to the gnto nnd wns refused admittance. Tor tho first time It occurred to him that Smlthson had protended thnt tho mine wns not paying In order to depress the stock. Inslce wont to Potter, n broker In Colorado Springs, nnd asked him to find out what flouting stock of tho company thero wnH on the market. Potior Investigated subrosa and dis covered that there was nil of Insleo's original stock nnd n part of Smith son's, which tho latter had given In payment for mining machinery nnd other necessities. Insleo told tho broker nbout tho fenco recently put around tho property, saying nlso thnt lie suspected there wns n "nigger" be. hind It. Pottpr agreed thnt If Inslce would nt any time find out thnt tho mine wns doing well ho would nd vnnco money to buy tho stock, ho get ting n slice of all ho bought besides Ills commissions. So they got up a codo of communication nnd Insleo went home. Staining his faco so as to pans ns n half breed Indian. Insleo went to tho initio nnd applied for work. Ilo wns obliged to npply several times before being employed. When ho got In bo hind the fence he found that ho was not allowed to go out. Nor was he nr any other man In tho mine permit ted to communicate with those out side except by letter, and nil letters were Inspected bofore being sent. Inslce felt assured thnt tho manage ment were expecting something re markable. Then one day It wns evi dent that something rcmnrknblo had occuncd. Smlthson went by. talking excitedly to n tiinn Insleo know to bo n capitalist, nud luslee heard Smlthson say, "Six hundred dollars to the ton'." Insleo dared not communicate with Potter direct. lie could with his wlfo, though only nbout family affairs, and bad told her befpro leaving her to heat his letters. Tho day he heard Smith son's remark ha wrote her, Inclosing Botno wages ho had rocolvctl. Mrs. Insleo heated tho paper and brown letters caino out on It. "Wlro Potter to buy nil ho can got. Six hundred ,to tho ton." Mrs. Insleo at once sent tho message. Potter found that already small or ders to buy tho stock were being exe cuted, uud the prlco had gone tip from 0 to 7 cents. Ho had learned who held tho shares and went round buylug It at private sale. In this wny ho kept the pi Ice down till he had bought nil Insleo's original atock nnd so much of Smlthson's as was on tho market. Siulthson's brokers wero now en deavoring to secure tho stock at an advanced prlco through the exchanges, but found none for sale. Ono morning Insjeo walked Into Pot ter's olllco and told him thnt a imig ultlceut strike had been mnde nt tho mine. Potter nt once U'gaii to bid lu open market for the stock, lie secured none, but effected his purpose, which was to give a belter valuo to the slums as quoted. Thou luslee. undisguised, went to the mine, culled for Smlthson and de manded an accounting. Smlthson told him that he lu'd paid him fo.- his in terest and ordered him olY the prom Uos. Insloe advUed him to bo ready to turn the proKrty over to it now maiingenieut one month from that day, on which was to bo hold the annual election of directors. When that day came around luslee, who held his own original half of tho stock ami one-third of Smlthson's, ap peared at the meeting of stockholders ho and Smlthson held It all and vot ed lu a new board with himself as prosldont. "And now, Mr. Smlthson," ho said, "I'll trouble you to vacate theso prem ises." There was .nothing for Smlthson to do but to turn the mine over to Its dis coverers, undor tho law governing cor porations. Smlthson, who was ambl tlous to have both his own and Insleo's share, found himself obliged to be con tent with tho lesser part. This ho even tunlly sold to Insleo at private sale. The mine proved far more valuablo than had been supposed oven when tho strlko was made, nnd through It Insleo became enormously rich, while Smith son subsequently lost what ho had made. - - i- i . .-- "--ii - "- JttLntttt99UtttSttttUBMnKtStttnBtltMntttmi2 F ,L A Tyi RON; - j People Use Electric Flat Irons the Year Round They are equally as convenient in fall and winter as ' they arc in the hot weather.
