SUSTAIN ROOSEVELT
GOVERNORS FAVOR HIS POLICY
Indorse HIs recommendation for En-
Iarged Government Control OF
Railroad Rates.

New York, Feb. G.--Interviews sc
cured by the New York Herald from
many of the governors OF the states 10
the Union show a remarkable unan-
unity OF sentiments regarding his ef
forts to secure enlarged governmental
. -ontrol a railroad rates. Almost all
support him In the stand he has taken
and wish him success in the fight
Among these interviews are the follow
ing.
Gov. F. M. Warner. Michigan:
Il believe the Pre- sident is on tho
right track and that the country gen
orally approves his course. Several i'm
portant interests in Michigan have SUI
fered by reason OF Discrimination
which he Ia seeking to prevent. 1t GER
tainly does not seem that any one
should question the wisdom or the JUS
tice OF such governmental regulation"
Governor, Adams, Colorado.
IF President Roosevelt continues as
he has begun, and actually brings the
big corporations to knowledge of
truth that the law Is for them as we'll
as for poor people. he will be one of
the greatest Predidents this country
ever has had. President Roosevelt
knows what to do and how to do 1t.
IL remains to be seen II he can resist
the threats, cajolery and intimidation
OF the giant combinations OF capital.
This is not partisan measure, and l
believe the Democrats will be the first
to acclaim the greatness of the Presi-
dent If he finishes the good work."
Gov. John II. Mickey, Nebraska:
1.-THE President has taken a bold and
courageous stand, and | believe he will
succeed, as he deserves to. The rail-
road queation IL complicated at best,
but the President Is on the right track
and tho country at large knows 1t. Let
the prophets of evil rest easy. There
will be no crusad.s against wealth or
overturning OF settled conditions. The
President is safe and sound and for
the square DEAL"
Gov. J. A. Johnson, Minnesota:
Il am strongly In favor of govern
mental control OF railway freight
rates. believe this question is of VI
tai Importance to the public and in my
message to the Legislature urged tho
necessity of some legislation on tho
subject. When the Interstate Com
merce Commission decides on rate II
should be put in force Immediately.
and remain In force until. or unless,
changed by the courts"
Gov. Joseph M. Terrell. Georgia:
president Roosevelt's policy on
governmental control of railroad rates
meets with my full approval and is
fully in line with the policy ofthe Geor-
lia Democracy, as expressed In splat-
form on this subject"
Lieutenant Governor Miller. Indiana,
Il indorse the Presidents policy fully
and unequivocaily. l think the time
has come for a broadening of the pow
ers Of the Interstate Commerce Com

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Free Employment Agency.

One bill presented to the Legisla'
ture is of considerable interest to PEG
pie who have devoted their time and
energies to obtain employment for
worthy men and women. In the DEN
yer City Hall, there is a free employ
ment bureau. which, during the last
year. has been haven of refuge for
many worthy but penniless persons,
The bill In question provides for the
establishment OF number of public
employment Offices to be under tho
management Of the state labor com
missioner.
The bill was prepared by j. f. Call
breath. Jr., former president of this
Denver Chamber of Commerce.. Police

sage of the bill which has the indorse.
mont of the Denver Woman's Club.
The bill was presented by Senator Al.
exander.
Just a year ago the office in the
City Hall Mt Denver was opened by the
Woman's Club and since then employ.
ment has been obtained for 3.115 men,
women. boys and girls.
Such Offices" states the bill, "shall
be placed In charge of suitable persona
whose duty II shall be to make every
possible effort TO provide employment
for all applicants therefor, and to mako
a record OF all applications for employ,
ment and help. together with such In
formation about the applicant as will
show, so far as may be. his capabilities
of service. No fee or compensation
shall be charged or received. directly
or indirectly. from any person or per

Prisoners should Work.

In the biennial report of the STATE
Board of Pardons Secretary Hagar rec.
ommonds that prisoners, as far as pos,
sible, shall be set at work to REIN
burse the state for the expense of their
maintenance.
There Is no reason why prisoners
should not be supplied with material
and allowed to cut and make clothing
for themselves and for other penal and
charitable institutions. The same Ia
true OF shoes and other articles of ap.
parel. This state spends thousands OF
dollars in supplies for the four penal
and four charitable institutions which
might be saved. Mr.. Hagar would
like to see a broom and brush factory
started at which supplies for the state
institutions could be manufactured
The bill for supplies of this kind at tho
state house amounts to a great many
dollars each year and 1t runs up in the
thousands when all the institutions are
considered-
Another big item OF expense to the
taxpayers is in school supplies, such
as desks, tables, rulers. blackboards
erasers. etc. A great many OF these
things can be manufactured at the
prisons. Not far from Canon City the
state owns a fine piece OF coal land
and Mr.. Hagar wants the Legislature
to let that be opened up by the pris
, oners. They can mine enough coal
there for every state institution. and
thus save many thousands of dollars
to the tax payers. At the same time
nobody is going to be hurt because
these things are in lines where they do
not interfere.

The town of Edith in Archuleta
county will be divorced from Colorado
and become a portion of New Mexico,
and Colorado will lose eight square
miles off its southern boundary If a
bill presented by Representative Nc.
Even in the House is passed. The bill
calls for tn adoption of the recent
United States geographical survey,
which nullifies the survey of 1866 to
the disadvantage of the state of Colo.
RADIO Action by the State Legislature,
adopting the survey OF the government
is necessary before the survey is rec
ognized as official.
The House committee on temper
ance, medical affairs and public health
has been giving hearings on local op-
ton bills. Speaking before the COM
mittee Bishop Lawrence said: Thirty
nine states have some kind OF prohib-
itory legislation. In Tennessee pro-
hibitory legislation prevails in all
parts of the state, except eleven cities.
The bill presented to the Colorado
Legislature contains the result of 100
years OF study OF the question. Mrs.
Wilkinson, president of the Florence
Crittenton home, urged the passage OF
the bill or of any measure that would
restrict the sale OF liquor. In the Crit.

How Mrs. Reader Put Stop to Impu-
dence of Peruvian.

How Mrs. Reader Put Stop to Impu-
dence Of Peruvian.
In her story of Ella Rawls Reader,
Financier," contributed in Every
body's. Juliet Wibor Tompkins tells
the following incident of struggle Of
Mrs. Readers in Peru:
After eight months of useless
struggle she went to out Callao, which
is about half an hour by rail from
Lima, with her Peruvian lawyer,
Scotch interpreter, and American en-
gineer. and forced the manager to
open the warehouses and let her make
an inspection of the machinery. The
manager had met her with his law
yers, and the hour for argument be-
fore she gained her point had been
something of a strain. During the
whole process Peruvian on the Hag-
gin side had been standing close to
Mrs. Reader, his little. narrowed eyes
staring with that deliberate insolence
only Latins can accomplish. The
company went out into the wareroom
where the machinery lay and the diff
fcult business of hurried inspection
went forward. but stu the bullying
stare never ceased. After about two
hours OF It, the fine edge Of that hid
den temper of her suddenly sprang up.
She whirled on him with blaze of
words ahat needed no interpreter. and
all at once his stare was being re-
turned by fierce little pistol held
in strong white hand and quite
ready for business.
THE gentleman Of Peru neither
apologized nor retracted; he incon-
tinently fed. And he was not the only
one. Like shadows the men fitted
out Of the dusky warehouse, leaving
the dangerous woman clear field.
When she looked about there was no
one in sight but two Irish porters. and
in their eyes were sympathetic twin
kles, meeting which, Mrs. Reader
could only sink down helpless with
laughter and put up her pistol"
