An interesting fact brought out by
the recent municipal elections in Colo
RADIO is the marked tendency of Colo
RADIO men to elect women as city treas
urers. Mrs. Margaret Robins was
unanimously chosen city treasurer of
Idaho Springs. At Aspen Mrs. E. A.
Kenney was reelected to the same
Office by large majority Mrs. Jennie
Gale was elected city treasurer at New
Castle, Mrs. Emma c. Palmer in Gree
ley, Mrs. Clara A. Clark at Alma, Mrs.
Mary Shanks at Ouray, Miss Nellie E.
Donahue at Victor and Mrs. A. N. Fro
wine at Manitou. In several other
towns women came very near being
elected city treasurers, running ahead
of their tickets, and in a number Of
cities in Kansas women were chosen
to the same position. In almost all
these places the men outnumbered the
women, so if women are put in Office it
is because the men wish to have it so.
In these days of boiling bank cashiers
and manifold embellishments perhaps
the men feel that this particular Office
is safest in the hands of the sex that
is least given to stealing and stock
speculation. Whatever may be the
explanation, there can be no doubt Of
the fact that in some of the western
states women are in favor as CITY
treasurers.

Lord Salisbury on ireland. q


The utterances Of Lord Salisbury up
on his return a few days ago from
France, whittier he went to recoup his
failing physical powers, would seem to
indicate that his mental faculties, or at
least his diplomatic acumen, had not
been improved by the vacation. He
takes the first opportun:fy to insult the
Irish subjects of Great Britain and to
further widen the breach between the
Green Isle and the ruling government,
asserting that IF the home rule bill of
1898 had been passed and an Irish gov
eminent had been established at Dub
lin it was not very extravagant to as
sumo, in view Of the exhibitions in the
house of commons and elsewhere, that
it would have been a hostile govern
ment. What, then, would have been
Great Britain's position if she had not
only to meet the South African repub-
lies, but concurrently hostile Ire
land?" H.
IT it be the purpose of the British
premier to drive the Irish people into
overt acts of disloyalty to the govern
ment Of which he is the chief mouth
piece, he is apparently taking the most
direct course to accomplish it, This is
the third public utterance of similar
character from Lord Salisbury during
his present ministry, and it is not to be
wondered at that there should be grow
ing feeling Of antipathy among self
respecting and even loyal Irishmen
against British domination. The un-
wisdom and injustice Of Lord Sails
bury's insinuations become especially
patent when it is recalled that the
maintenance Of Britain's military pres
tige during the present generation
is mainly due to an Irishman, Lord
Roberts, and that the most distinguish
ed naval captain of the same time is an
Irishman, Sir Charles Beresford, and
the further fact that among the best
and bravest soldiers in the South A.
rican campaign are Irishmen.
The centuries old conflict between
1rishmen and their English political
masters is not likely to be assuased by
these repeated intimations of disloyalty
and treason from the British prime
minister. PROFESSIONALLY Irishmen
will not be satisfied until they are
granted liberal measure of home rule
and there shall be established an Irish
parliament house on College green, in
Dublin, but the undiplomatic and IN
justifable utterances of Lord Salisbury
will retard anything like Cancellation
between these conflicting elements Of
the United Kingdom. Great Britain
has lately voluntarily conceded auton-
omy in it's broadcast form to the new
federation Of Australia, perhaps because
the federation would not brook a re-
fusal and England did not feel strong
enough to incur the hostility of the
powerful young state in the southern
seas. Why should not Great Britain
treat Ireland with similar liberality in
the matter Of home government?

ssCorners,, and the Law


In breaking the 6 corner in Northern
Pacific on the New York Stock Elk
change there was invoked a phase Of.
the law not frequently, if ever before
in this country employed in stock spec:
ulations. When the corner had forced
Northern Pacific stock up to $500 and.
$1,000, q dealer who had sold Short
200 shares Of this stock sought and OBJ.
tanned a preliminary injunction enjoin-
Ing the person or persons to whom he
sold the 200 shares from enforcing the.
claim for their delivery, this order Of.
the court being based upon allegations,
which were verified under oath, that:
the defendants in the case had COM.
bined and procured a corner Of the
stock and had acquired possession Of
all available stock. Knowing that they
possessed all the available stock, they
instructed brokers to purchase the
stock from everybody, knowing that
sellers of the stock. could not deliver
it, inasmuch as the stock was already
in the possession of the defendants. =
The injunction order was not served,
but was held as club over the parties
responsible for creating the corner and
resulted in breaking it, the defendants
agreeing that all short sales of North
ern Pacific could be covered at $50.
which was the ruling price of the
shares before the corner was effected.
Perhaps under the stress of excite
ment that then prevailed it is just as.
well that the question was not pressed
to judicial test, though it is likely to
be brought there at some future time,
and in any event it will make those
who attempt to corner the market,
whether in stocks or in products, wary
Of going too far. =
The principle involved is as old as
the law of contracts itself. 1t might
be said to be based upon that "ancient
and honorable betting formula which
prevails everywhere in sporting circles,
except possibly among stock gamblers,
that 'if you can't win you can't lose"
1t is a thoroughly established precept
Of common law that an agreement by
which the promiser binds himself to
perform something which the promisee
knows it is impossible to perform is no
agreement whatever. It is held also
that If there is valid agreement and
that after it is made the promisee
makes it's performance impossible the
agreement is rendered null and void.
This law was laid down in England at
the very earliest dates and has been
uniformly followed by the United
States supreme court and by the state
courts generally. There is no reason
why it should not apply to. the stock
transaction above referred to. At all
events, if "cornering" the market, Ell
Their Of stocks or products, and the
process of forcing up prices beyond all
reasonable limit by getting control of
the available supply" can be declared
illegal, it will have a potent effect upon
the most perilous phase of speculation.

AT WINTERS WIND UP.
The Prompt and DiIigent Bee All
Ready For Spring Work.

The Prompt and DiIigent Bee All
Ready For Spring Work.
Bees begin work much earlier in
spring than the ordinary farmer, and
those who think bees do not require
looking after until warm weather
comes in are very much mistaken.
Bees begin to draw pretty heavily on
their stores to feed the brood long be-
fore warm weather makes its appear
ance in spring. If a colony succeeds in
building up strong in numbers, it Is
necessary that they consume a large
amount of stores.
Bees begin breeding heavily before
they have an opportunity to gather
honey from flowers, and to make
strong profitable colonies they must
have good supply of reserve stores
in the hive. If they are not thus sup
piled, they will certainly fall short of
making colonies that will produce the
best results during the honey harvest.
However, not all depends upon food.
Plenty of reserve stores and all the
feeding we can do will not make old,
inferior queens lay enough eggs to
produce a good colony, and it is only
by good management during the fall
previous in requeening colonies with
good young queens. 1t seldom pays
to keep a queen more than one year
and not more than two at the best.
Old queens are content with half a hive
full Of bees and will make prepara-
ton to swarm with these conditions,
and the result is failure in honey
and in good swarms Also
Colonies are frequently found not on
ly with old, inferior queens thus, but
often with no queen at all at the wind
up of winter. Such are of course worth
less unless we can procure queens for
them, which is difficult to do at this
season of the year. We may save the
bees by uniting them with other colo
MES, and this is the proper thing to
do with them, and the hive with empty
combs or honey should be placed away
securely from robber bees, concludes

CINE or horse, is now frequent, the
grinder is illustrated with a belt wheel
for mower. but if desired a crank and
fly wheel may be used and the grinder
operated by hand. The manner of
making the hopper, attaching legs,
braces, etc, is well explained in the
complete illustration. The interior or
main working parts are shown in the
sectional cut. CA is triangular
shaped strip of wood extending across
rear side of box, firmly nailed in place
behind the spiked cylinder B. which
revolves and does the grinding, and
"C' is another wooden strip having
teeth like the cylinder extending across
front side of box and fitted in grooves
or small strips at ends of hopper in
such a way as to serve as an adjusta-
BILE concave. The cylinder teeth may
be ordinary II penny spikes, the heads
cut off, the remainder of spikes driven
into cylinder, leaving about one-half
inch projecting and the projecting ends
filed sharp, but it will be better to
make teeth of one-quarter inch square
bar iron cut 234 or 5 inches long, one
end Of each tooth flattened on an anvil,
chisel shape, and cooled while rcdhot
by immersion in cold salt water. The
other ends of teeth may be cut with a
screw thread and teeth screwed into
the cylinder, leaving one-half an inch
or so of the chisel end projecting. The
distance the cylinder teeth are placed
apart and the position of the movable
concave, the teeth of which should in
tersect those of the cylinder, will de-
termine degree of fineness to which
the roots may be reduced,
The conducting spout shown in the
illustration of the completed grinder is
not absolutely necessary. 1t is simply
