A Colorado town column parodies presidential contests, taunts Roosevelt supporters, and mocks convention dynamics. It references Taft, Greeley, a sugar factory bid, a million dollar prize chase by a Greeley inventor, fly swatting days, and a joke about Rhode Island’s chicken hospital. The piece blends local wit with national political flavor.
John T. Jacobs touts Weyl’s book as essential for understanding progressive thought and the evolving democratic movement. He argues the work aligns with rising public opinion and industrial reform, urging readers to obtain and read it for clarity on contemporary politics.
A survey of the Democratic convention shows a sharp split between progressives and conservatives over the temporary chair and leadership. Clark leads in apparent support, Wilson follows as a clear progressive, with Bryan as a fallback if neither reaches two thirds. Parker’s election is tied to these factional dynamics.
Discussion centers on making Bryan the temporary chairman with committees appointed by that chair, potentially stripping real power from the position. The author warns the democrats risk repeating the GOP shipwreck by storming ahead without checks.
A critical review of Weyl’s work on democracy in America traces four generations since Yorktown, noting prosperity and the end of slavery while arguing democracy remains imperfect. The book surveys plutocratic influence, social justice, and a rising democratic spirit seeking a fairer distribution of labor’s fruits.
An Empty Triumph notes Taft’s nomination by a minority South and a solid Roosevelt loss. It details how Postmaster delegates and machine influence shaped the Colorado slate, with critics accusing leaders of betrayal and self-interest. The piece suggests the party’s Colorado delegation harmed their own voters.
Enos Mills recounts Collier's piece on Estes region as a proposed national park. Lord Dunraven visited in 1869 drawn by big game and scenery, intending to acquire lands for a game preserve and hotel site with Bierstadt and Miss Bird aiding exploration and sketches. The region impresses with forest lakes and peaks, inspiring plans for protection.
The valley near Grand Lake and Long's Peak in northern Colorado would be a sizable national park and game preserve. It spans about 550000 acres, features 18 peaks over 13000 feet, glaciers, Alpine lakes including Grand Lake, and notable canyons like Big Thompson and St. Vrain. The climate, wildflowers, birds, and big game such as mountain sheep, deer, elk, bears, and mountain lions are highlighted with emphasis on scenery and hunting recreation.
The quotation echoes John Muir's idea of preserving rare places as sanctuaries for rest, recreation and prayer. It frames these sites as intentional havens, connecting natural beauty with spiritual need and public access.

Colorado mined 10,157,383 short tons of coal in 1911 valued at 14,747,764 dollars, down from 11,973,736 tons in 1910. The drop reflects mild winters drought and reduced locomotive fuel use. 14,273 men worked an average of 207 days, producing 711.7 tons per man, versus 15,864 workers at 236 days and 755 tons per man in 1910.
The report outlines 1910 average daily production around 14 tons per mine, with total coal output estimated near 15 tons per day in 1910 and rising in 1911. It notes discrepancies between geological survey data and mine returns, QA on small producers, and the inspector’s figures showing overall production and compliance under the inspection law.
