II all the people are not wise enough
to govern themselves, how can part of
the people be wise enough to rule over
the remainder?
This question is asked by the National
New Era. It hints at direct Legislation
and is certainly right. Now, the laws are
a sort OF secondhand product, the people
selecting a few men to do the work. II
the people can be trusted to select men
to represent them, they ought to have
be enacted and to have the power to
approve all laws enacted by the legisla-
ture. Direct legislation is to be the next
great political advancement. 1 i

A great linen spinning trust in Europe

A great linen spinning trust in Enrope
is mentioned among the many new CON-

who know Of the fact that linen is one Of
the numerous possibilities for Colorado

day will be observed in this state on
Friday, April 10. In the schools it is
celebrated as holiday, and special pro-

There are many towns in Colorado
where trees were set out years ago,
which now deserve the name Of forest
cities. They are noted. as attractive
places Of residence and for tho beauty OF
their homes. Rocky Ford is one OF
these cities but its recent rapid growth
leaves many new sections not supplied
with trees. Residents in all portions of
the city plat now without shade should
make wholesale planting OF trees ON
Arbor day. The expense is small when the
results are considered, So also there are
hundreds OF country homes which can be
similarly improved by observing Arbor
