using some water in which red pepper
had been placed for washing meat

Scott suggested to his wife that she
use some of the water in making
dough for her chickens. The sug-
gestion was acted upon, and before
another evening, thirteen of the
chickens fed were dead. Mr..
Scott is certain that the salt in the
water was what proved fatal to the
chickens, and his wife has decided
that he is not authority on prescrip-
tions for poultry anyway.

JudAs Heyt's Opinion.

THE Denver Evening Post OF Thurs
day, October ~, has the following inter
view with Chief Justice Hayt in regard
to the pending constitutional amend
ment:
"But very small percentage OF these
outstanding warrants" said.he, belong
to the class Of excess warrants declared
by this court to be illegal. They consist
largely in fact, Of warrants OF the prefer
red class drawn against the general fund
for the maintenance OF the executive,
judicial and legislative departments Of
the state government. They represent
value received by the state, and their
non payment would seriously impair
our states credit. The only way this
payment can be made is by an issue OF
bonds as proposed. The provision limit.
ing the appropriations by the legislature
to the amount Of the revenues for the
preceding two years, is a wise one, and
will go far to prevent the issuance Of e1-
cess warrants, as has been too frequent
ly the case under the present method OF
basing the revenues on nothing more
definite than the auditors estimate.
sincerely hope the measure may become
a law"

Next Tuesday will determine whether
this country is to be controlled by the
corporations and trusts for the next four
years, or by the common people through
their representative VIM. j. Bryan.
There is no doubt about how this state
and county will go on that question and
the Issue Of this campaign lies solely in
the choice OF state ticket and members
OF the legislature. Alva Adams has
given Colorado one good. clean admins
tration and the cry that he is the tool OF
any Denver corporation is bosh. The
choice is between Adams. with his well
known cspability. and Bailey. who is
hanging onto his Office as district judge
while pursuing the office OF governor.
He exhibits too much OF thirst for
Office to be q desirable man for the place,
and the people Of this section will do well
to give their support to his opponent.
