been occasional sales that looked
good, but, taken as a whole, the

obituary.

HATHAwAY-M. ii. Hathaway was born
in Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1880. He
departed this life on Thursday, February
10, 1903. He leaves five sons and three
daughters who mourn the loss of kind
and loving father.
Mr.. Hathaway had been sufferer
with the inirmities Of the flesh for a
long time, and suffered greatly near the
last, but he bore it all with that patience
and fortitude that only comes to those
who are stayed by that mighty power Of
God through faith in His son jesus
Christ. He embraced the christian faith
early in life and united with the Meth
odist branch of the church militant and
remained true to the faith to the end.
This was his stay and support during
his long weeks OF bodily suffering. He
fully realized that the end here was near
and was anxious to go and meet his saw
ior and the wife of his youth and mother
Of his children, who preceded him to
that better land by several years.
Funeral services were held at the resi-
dence, eight miles east of Ebert, Colo,
on Saturday, February q, conducted by
Rev. S. L. Barnes. Text used, Phil 1-2l.
The remains were laid to rest in Elbert
cemetery with the christian services Of
the church of the United Brethren in
Christ. -

In an article about western city in
Harper's Magazine, Prof Richard t.
Ely undertakes to explain why western
communities. The good professor might
as well explain why rascality which is
unmasked is worse than hidden evil. 1t
is not problem, or puzzle, but simply
this: In the old cities, where power
usually flows within certain channels
and where custom and precedent are
mighty, the disposition to kick the table
over is subjected to harness and dis
cipline. The kicker is hobbled- He has
weights tied to his kicking tendencies.
Out west in the new cities, the great
American kicker roams free and un-
trammeled, and when he dosn't like the
way things are run he rises up and says
what he thinks, or tries to smash the
table. In consequence the country is
entertained by the unearthings of evil
and by the political rows out west which
means simply that the Western man is
not afraid of vested social and govern
mental rights. In the Eastern towns there
are things which must not be said and
there are evils which must be ignored
by conservative people. There are staid
old cities which go the even tenor Of
are much more inherently corrupt than
the western cities which are in frequent
uproar.-Denver Post.

STATE OF COLORADO,
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Denver, Colo, Feb. 20, 1903. J
May Atcheson Georgia,
Kiowa, Colorado.
Dear Madam: After taking your in
quiry under advisement, have learned
that an opinion has been rendered by the
State Superintendent OF Public 'lnstruc-
ton. i believe the law authorizes this
official to render opinions on law ques-
tions, and of course it is settled that the
Attorney General Is not authorized by
law to render opinions to any one except
the executive officers OF the state and
the General Assembly or either house
thereof. l would, therefore, consider it
out Of place to render any opinion unless
requested by the Superintendent to do
so. Especially would this be true in
case my opinion should differ from that
Of that officer.
/ understand the opinions rendered
have been conflicting. There is no juris-
diction possessed by me to settle this
conflict, and it serves no purpose to in
ject an additional opinion into the con-
troversy, which would not settle any
thing.
My advice to you would be to proceed
with the organization, locate your High
School as that board sees fit and proceed
to construct your High School. Arrang
ing previously for an amicable law suit,
whereby the town which differs from
the board may bring an injunction suit
to prevent the location of the High
School outside OF the county seat, and
let the proceedings stop until this suit is
determined. II this is done by pre-ar-
rangement, it will settle the matter, and
a mass of legal opinions will not settle
anything.
simply offer this latter, not as an
opinion on the law, but as practical
way out of the difficulty.
In general way, l would suggest that
the whole school act must be construed
together, and this will afford you some
indication as to my views on the situa-
ton. Yours truly,
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-02-26
Attorney General

Judging by the tone Of the attorney
generals letter, his opinion would un-
doubtedly differ from that of the state
superintendent OF public instruction re-
garding the powers of the High School
committee in the location of the school
site.
We believe that the proper move for
the board now to make would be to fol
low the attorney generals advice and
decide by majority vote at what town in
the county the school shall be located.

.HOLD-.OYER SENATORS
A Constitutional Amendment
to Be Proposed for Per-
petuation of Feature.

It Is understood that Senator j. Boyd
Sears. of Mathews county. win to-day Of
fer in the Senate of Virginia an amend
ment to the new Constitution, which II
pressed will reopen cne OF the contests
which engaged the Constitutional Con-
vention for long time. The amendment
will provide that the present plan OF hold
over Sena tors shall be perpetuated instead
of being superseded In 1907 by the election
simultaneously of the entire membership
of the body, as the constitution provides.
Under the plan provided by the Consti-
tutional Convention, the Senators from
the even number districts are to be elect
ed in November. 4.o3. for terms OF four
years from January 1. -lA This will ex-
tend their terms until January !. 1908. The
Senators from the odd number districts
are to be elected in November. 1906 for
terms of two years from January l,
1906 Then In November, 1907 the
entire membership of tho State Senate Is
to be elected, and every four years there
after.
II the Sears amendment to the schedule
pass this General Assembly it will come
up again in the General Assembly which
convenes In January. 1901, and If It pass
that session also. the amendment must
must then be submitted to popular vote
for ratification or rejection. In the event
OF passage by two successive General AS
semblies and ratification BY vote OF the
people. the schedule WI be so changed as
to provide that the Senators to be elected
IN November. 1905, are to be chosen for
four year terms as heretofore. thus pre-
serving the old hold-over feature, where
by the terms of half the. members CT the
Senate expire every two years.
