GOVERNOR. R.ELECT ADAMS
OF COLORADO, ISSUES A SIGNED
STATEMENT ON THE PRES
EMIT CONDITIONS,

Governor-elect Adams of Colorado
has given the Pueblo. Colo, Times
Star a signed statement on the pres
ent political controversy in that state
which seems to be a mild and eonser-
vative statement of the situation In
that commonwealth. The statement
Is as follows:
Il have no special message to deliv-
er, but through the Star-Journal l do
wish to express my appreciation of the
.greatrconfdence the people have placed
in me- In return, l promise to devote
to their interest during the next two
years every energy and ability l pos
sess. l shall have no thought. no am
bition that is not prompted by the
honor and welfare OF Colorado, while
the gratitude l feel will only be linz
tied by my life.
l hold to your conception that it Is
one of the high duties of an executive
TO preserve tranquility and promote
friendship between every interest
Upon faith and confidence float the
commerce Of our people. To attain
these there is no sure method save
through good laws administered with
justice and impartiality. Favoritism
in the enforcement of law breeds dis
cord and bitterness. There are no dol
lar marks, no party emblems, no prop
erty qualifications on the statutes of
Colorado and when an official tries to
bend the laws to these selfish demands
he commits treason against the state.
Our constitution forbds special leg
islation. There can not be one law for
one interest and a different law for an
other interest, but the same law of all.
The executive must see no difference
between corporation and individual.
rich and poor. when he eyokes the au-
thority of the commonwealth.
Capital is an unwilling visitor to
states where the courts and the civil
process are not supreme. Investors
prefer to place their money where per-
sonal liberty is sacred and property
rights are protected by healthy. pa
triotic public sentiment. To inspire
and promote this sentiment will ever
be my aim, with the added guarantee
that the property Of every investor
from abroad or at home, as we'll as the
personal rights and liberties of every
citizen will be protected by the full
power of the state.
For eighteen months Colorado has
been in turmoil; industry and business
have suffered, capital and labor have
been embittered. We will not review
the unhappy days. we will not indulge
in criticism, but hope; we will look
forward, not backward There should
be no conflict between employer and
employe-they need each other and
Colorado needs both. They must be
partners not enemies. Each have
rights that the other must respect. The
labor question is not political, but So
cial and economic; justice and brother
hood the only true solution.
With full faith in the common sense
and patriotism of our people and with
these principles as my guide. l face the
future with supreme confidence, be-
lieving that the next two years will be
the most peaceful and prosperous In
the history of our loved commons
wealth, Let justice reign and peace
will abide.

DISASTROUS FIRE

House In Wisconsin Village.
Wtttenberg, Wis, Nov. 25.-The
most disastrous fire in the history of
this village occurred tonight. The
blaze started about p. m, on the
second floor of David Stephan's big
department store which occupied a
brick building. These walls and thu
efforts of the local fire department
held the flames to the one building
but the danger of spreading was SO
great that all goods were removed
from adjoining stores. Assistance from
Clintonville arrived and helped in
controlling the fire. The loss on the
building will exceed $4,000 and on the
stock $4,000. The total insurance
will not exceed $13.500.

In the general desire for elabora-
ton, the tailor-made frocks are now
taking to shirrings. Hitherto these
gowns have been of the severely plain
order, depending upon well-pressed
plaits to accomplish the necessary full
ness, and such frivolous effects and dec
orations as shirrings were emphatically
frowned upon. However, with the i'm
perative demand for the extreme of
material to be nodded into the skirt
in full view. the tailors have had to
resort to the devices Of the dressmakers,
and in many, instances it is hard to
tell which branch-tailor or dressmaker
is responsible for the gown.
And with this extreme of boufan-
try around the feet, both branches of
the art sartorial are perplexed as to
ness Of the cloth. AS long as the cloths,
and silks as well, continue to declare
for sheerness and chiffon qualities
and even the new velvets and velvet
Gems share in this misunderstanding
besides the moral support Of irreproach-
able cut must be supplied to keep the
cloth from sagging in forlornly around
the ankles, A superabundance Of petit
coats will not do, for that would only
a contamination devoutly to be avoid
ed; Steels or reeds would suggest an
enlarged sidewalk and the revival of
the crinoline; and so the choice mar
rows itself down to cords, haircloth
or featherbone. All three Of them are
in use, but the latter two are far and
away ahead Of the first and are easier
to handle, more durable and give bet
ter results. -r4
Where the street costume is Of wolfe
| or silk, or. some othcr such sheer mate
| rial, the haircloth is usually used; but
when the broadcloths or mannish goods
are used, these have quite little body
OF their own and do not need SO much
support. The tailors are making a
combination binding and facing OF vel
veteen take the place of hem; and
one can almost tell the made-to-order
from the. ready-made production by this
