patch of last night says:
Judge Theron Stevens convened the
District Court of San Miguel county
this morning to receive the report of

ing the report since. At the opening
of the court the members of the grand

, cipally local attorneys.

| Denver, Dec. 15.-Amendments to
the present law, to give the state board
Of arbitrator power to enforce obedi-
ence to its subpoenas, to cause the pun
ishment for contempt of witnesses who
refuse to testify. to enforce it's decisions
and to keep them in force for definite
time, are the principal recommended
tions made in the biennial report sub
mitted to the governor by John f. Har-
ley. secretary of the board. The report
details the methods used by other
states to make arbitration laws effect
i've, urging the need of action by the
next Legislature in view of the coming
enormous industrial growth of the
state.
The present law the attorney gen.
eral thinks unconstitutional in one pro-
vision-that comforting the power of a
court upon it, since the constitution
provides that the judicial power of the
state is vested solely in the courts, and
decision in an Indiana case, quoted,
declares that board cannot be a court.
The amendment to remedy this de-
feet and to get around the obstacle pre-
sented by the constitution is combi-
nation Of the statutes adopted in In
diana and Illinois to cover similar
cases. Instead of giving the board the
powers of court, as does the present
act, the amendment proposes that in
case witness should refuse to aban-
don summons or to testify, the board
may call on the County or the Circuit
Court to issue an order requiring the
recalcitrant to appear and testify, and,
OF course, should he fail to obey, the
court, he would be liable to punishment
for contempt
The second amendment proposes that
the agreement entered into between
contending parties through the media
tion OF the arbitration board shall be
binding for year, or until either party
shall give ninety days notice of inten-
tion to terminate it.
The third change suggested proposes
the punishment of either party to ap
arbitration agreement who may break
faith within the time specified by the
second amendment Like the first
amendment this is a combination of

his business and to induce the plaint-
iff's patrons and persons other than the
defendants to withhold their, patronage
from him. II Is not shown that the
defendants have any interests to pro-
tect by the methods employed, and
surely it will not be contended that
there is any value in friendship that
is secured by coercion.
1T Is claimed by defendants that no
threats or violence of any kind were
used. but 1t is not stated that II was
necessary to station the pickets at
plaintiffs place of business for the pur-
pose of communicating the fact of his
unfriendliness to the members OF the
defendant association.
While no threats were used, yet the

1t was saying to all persons who were
disposed to do business with the pfaint-
in: This person Is unfair to organized
labor. We do not want you to do
business with him; II you do we shall
consider such act as unfriendly to Or
ganized labor and we will boycott you
the same way as we are doing here.'
1T cannot reasonably be denied that
such was the effect intended In placing
such pickets and such u result would
logically and naturally follow. Threato

sons, yet laying aside their personal
views as men and individuals as to
what may have been the cause OF the
mysterious disappearance of these per-
sons. as grand jurors, with the evil
dence they have at hand. they are un-
able to charge any specific person with
any specific charge regarding these per-
sons.

port that each and every member Of

bills herewith returned was duly voted
upon and approved by vote as re-
quired by law.

oLD-TIME PRESIDENTIAL WAYS

1t has been charged that Jefferson
banished courtly law and introduced
shambling manners. When the Madi-
sons took his place they sought to es.
tablish the old order of affairs. The
White House was gay with dances, din
ners, levees and garden parties. Some
unkiud diplomat has recorded Mistress
sDolly's as being more like harvest home
|suppers than affairs of state. lThere GER
tainly was home-like air about Mrs.
Madison's affairs. 1t was during the
Madison regime that the custom of
making calls at private houses on New
Years Day was inaugurated at the capl.
tai. 1t still survives there, in spite of
the fact that other social centers have
voted it plebeian.
Jackson's reign is associated with the
merriest, maddest scenes the White
House has ever known. The fame of
his plebeian sappers bids fair to rival
Washington's little hatchet. While his
guests smoked costly cigars he blew
whiffs from his corn pipe, whitfield by
his own hand. His lavish entainments
ate deep inroads in his salary, and it
was his constant worry that his cotton
crop would fail apd leave him unable to
| meet his enses.-National Magizine.

The American hog the four-footed
fellows actually the most valuable
beast we have. Take all the other meat
products, beef and all else, which we
export, and the total will not be one.
half Of the value of the exports of hog
products. Beef products amount to
only little over one-third of the hog
products. Every year3nearly 10000. 600
hogs are packed and marketed in this
country, and the increase goes on all
the time. Every year we send to other
countries-to every part Of the world
more than sixteen hundred million
pounds of bacon, hams, pork and lard,
and soon the figure will reach two bill
lions of pounds annually. And it is
this article that the Germans would
taboo. Scarcely surprising that foreign
opposition to the hog should prodace a
protesting grunt all alcng from Chicago
to Kansas City.

LENT BEGINS EARLY.
March 30 Will Be Easter Sunday
Lent Opens FEBRUARY IL.

Lent, the season which is celebrated
by many churches in memory of the
fast of our l ord in the Wilderness will
begin almost week earlier than usual
this year, on February IL, Ash Wednes
day, Easter Sunday, which marks the
close of the season of fasting will come
on March 80. Sundays are Eot counted
in the forty days that constitute lent,
and are celebrated as feast days, rather
than fast days. The Greek churches
have a lenten season of forty-eight
days.
Pope Gregory the Great, in 59l, d.
rected that the season should tegin on
the sixth Sunday before Easter, and
that on all the intervening week days
fasting should be practiced. After
wards, either by him or by George H.,
four days O. the proceeding week were
added, to make the whole fast forty
days.
The six Sundays included in the lent
ten period are observed as festivals,
never as fasts, and are therefore called
Sundays in lent, and not Sundays of
lent. The last, or passion week, is con.
slider the most solems portion of the
season, ard is generally known as
'great week."
The ancient observance of lent was of
the most rigorous character. Nonob-
servance frequently resulted in severe
punishment, and often ex-communica
ton. All flesh and even the so-called
"white leans" were excluded. Modern
customs how ever, have caused relax
alton of the old and severe methods ol
observing the period. But the princi
pie OF permitting but one meal, with !
slight collation., is still retained.
4 Celebrations of marriages, births anc
participation in the common pmuse
ments of the social world are forbidden
during the lenten period. Coed church
people are expected to attend service
at least once day.

ILL ADVISED MARRIAGES.

1t is really alarming to see the reck less
disregard for all deliberation in marriage
as demonstrated by few of the con-
tracts lately entered into in Newton.
The divorce court has just annulled a
marriage that but year or so ago was
entered into against the will of the par
ents of the bride. Neither were fit for
marriage or had any sort of conception
of the sacredness of the relation.
A short time ago one of our sweetest
girls was married to a gay young 10th
ario who kept assignation rooms in
Newton. Decent people held up their
hands in horror, while protest after pro-
test poured in upon the family without
avail. 1t is easy to see the end.
This sort Of thing is becoming alto
gether too frequent. 1t happens not
only in. Newton but it happens every
where. Something ought to be doneeto
top it. Marriage is the most sacred of
all contracts. 1t is too important to
enter into without the most mature de.
liberation. Parents ought to see that
marrying in haste to repent at leisure is
costly business, and that honor is the
price. They ought to encourage delay.
If nothing else will avail, wait, like Mi.
cawber, for something to happen to pre-
vent. No girl ought to be permitted to
throw her life away on worthless
whelp.-Newton Herald.
