APPROPRIATION
BILL is ILLEGAL

Denver, May 26,-Judge Carpenter in
the District Court yesterday ruled that
the general appropriation bill. which
was passed by the Fourteenth General
Assembly as house bill No. 433, is lille
gal. The lengthy opinion in which he
supports his action concludes with an
injunction against the state treasurer
and other state officers paying out the
moneys for which the bill provides.
The system of blank appropriation
cause the signatures of the speaker OF
rae house and president OF the senate
were attached to house bill No. 433 be-
fore 1t was complete. and received the
signature of the governor in this con-
dition. the bill is held to be invalid.
Appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court. If this body sustains the action
of Judge Carpenter 1t may be necessary
to call an extra session.
Among the points brought out in
his opinion. Judge Carpenter lays
stress on what he believes to be a
vicious precedent 'It was stated by
the attorney general at the conclusion
of his argument that it has been Gus
tomary to enroll bills passed during
the last hours of the session after the
adjournment OF the General Assembly
and that a decision of this case ad-
verse to the defendants upon this
ground would have the effect of invali-
dating many statutes heretofore sup
posed to be. and acted upon. as valid
Such being the case" says the judge
'is is high time that a halt should be
called"
Recapitulating the evidence in the
case and denying that the bill was
signed in a regular manner of that
precedent justified the irregularity
Judge Carpenter concludes;
Succeeding assemblies should be
made to understand plainly that the
courts will not lend their sanction to
evasion of or discbedience to constitu-
tional mandates; that II they would
have their work stand 1t must be fully
completed before the session expires in
the regular orderly fashion prescribed
by the organic law to which executive
officer legislator and judge. one and
all. are alike bound to yield implicit
and unquestioned obedience"

THE LARGER FOOT.
See If This Shoe Salesman's Theory
Fits Your Case.

1.-THE question of which foot to fit
first is an important one to u.s." said the
shoe salesman. 1T may seem strange to
you. but it is rarely that we do not eX-
perience some trouble in fitting one
foot while the other Is easily covered.
A popular belief obtains that the left
foot of every person is the hardest to
lit. and consequently many shoe clerks
always try Il shoe OF that foot first 1t
is not true. however, according to my
observation, that there is any inilcXibie
rule rs to which foot 10 try first. 1t is
true, nevertheless. that in Il ma iol'ity
of cases if you succeed in fitting the left
foot YOU Will have no trouble with the
right Ny practice is to try both feet
before | pronounce a pair of shoes Il
perfect lit. Then am sure OF avoiding
any mistake growing ont Of p"cUliar
tiles of foot formation. No two per
sons have foot formed exactly alike
and tie shoe salesman WHO thinks so
and is governed accordingly Will meet
with many complaints
For some time | pondcred over the
problem of fitting shoes to feet. and es-
pecially as to why the LETT foot should
be considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only rational the
DRY | have ever been able to evolve is
a very simple one when YOU come to
consider it. Nine out of ten persons
you meet are right handed. as we say.
About one person in ten, or perhaps the
per cent is even less than that. uses his
left hand. If YOU will observe persons
who use the right hand when they are
standing and talking they invariably
rest their weight on the left foot. And.
vice versa, left handed person will
rest his or her weight ON the right foot
The result is that with right handed
persons the left foot is probably Il frac-
ton larger than the right foot and the
shoe clerk must inevitably find this to
be Il fact sooner or latcr.'-NCw Or

ROMANCE I'M VARIED GUlSE.
Definition of the word Is Susceptible
of Wide Diycrsification.

What is romance? Even the colo
quail use of the term is varied. When
we say you are romancing" or call
anything romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery And in this applica-
ton we must distinguish between the
effect upon us of that which we call
romantic because of human associa-
tons with certain sights or sounds ana
that wildness of nature which we call
romantic because of its absolute dis
ISOLATION from anything human.
Keeping out of mind the use Of the
word in artistic and literary criticism
let us try to find what element of
reconcilcment there is in the divcrstics
of collouuial usage.
In all that is generally called ro-
mantle in the cases above mentioned
there is the common element Of
strangcncss. We easily revert to what
must have been the original sense Of
the word in its connection with those
medieval notifications of the Latin
tongue known as the romance lam
guages. The Saxon or Cclt would
have found his native tongue sufficient
for all ordinary needs, but If he
caught the Roman air in any way, by
travel or refinement of taste and habit
he would, to meet the newly developed
need. borrow the grlccS of the Roman
spcecll-that is. he would romance. -
