Brains Not Monopolized.

One of the many hopeful signs OF the
times is the apparent decay of the breed
of so-called great men-those mighty
personalities that in former times stood
out like a solitary tree in a vast prairie.
The reason for it, of course, is, says
the aturday Evening Post, the de-
struction of all those old-time monop-
olies of brains which stunted all human
beings except a few who, by chance
rather than by superiority of fiber, grew
and developed. There are thousands,
literally thousands, of men o living
who, if they had lived a century or so
ago and had done a work similar to that
which they are doing without any very
sonorous fanfare upon the trumpets of
fame, would have been the talk of the
world and the main topic of history.
And how many of the so-called great
achievements of so-called great states
men, soldiers and thinkers of former
times would be impossible to-day, be-
u those achievements depended
chiefly upon the ignorance and incapac-
ity of the overwhelming mass of the men
of their day! Truly, this is the age OF
opportunity.

All of these familiar sights which have

elites are promised.
While the march of progress has
changed the character Of the shows, the
methods of doing business will remain the
same. The harsh-voiced spieler will cry
out as of old, and the best spieler will
get most of the people. Many of the
shows, probably most of them, at the
Lewis and Clark exposition will be of real
educational value, but does the sp,eler en-
phasize this fact? Not he. He knows
that the people want to be amused.
Have you saw Cora?" he bellows, and
the crowd stops a moment and smiles at
his bad grammar, and wonders who Cora
is. And then be proceeds to tell them of
her marvellous feats of digestion.

THE PACT is CARRIED OUT.
Colorado, in Less Than Twenty-FOur
Hours, Was Under the Rule
of Three Governors.

Denver, Col. March 18.-The bar
gain made by leaders of the opposing
republican factions of Colorado to
take the governors chair from Alva
Adams and to seat Lieut.-Gov. Jesse F.
Mcdonald, after permitting James H.
Peabody to hold it for one day, was
carried to a conclusion Friday after
noon.
In fulfllment of the agreement
which he made before the general as
sembly, which decided the guberna-
torial contest in his favor, Gov. James
H. Peabody resigned the Office in
which he was inaugurated late Thurs
day afternoon. His resignation, of
which w. S. Boynton, Of Colorado
Springs, had been custodian since
Wednesday, when it was written,
was filed in the Office of the secretary
of state at 1920 p. m, Friday. James
Cowie. secretary of state, Immediately
certified Gov. Peabody's resignation,
and Lieut.-Gov. Mcdonald was then
sworn in as governor by Chief Justice
Gabert. There vas no further cere-
mony. Gov. Adams was ousted and
Gov. Peabody installed by the general
assembly about five o'clock Thursday
afternoon, and Gov. Mcdonald was
sworn in before 5 p. m. Friday. Thus
in a space of less than "a hours Colo
roda has had three governors.
Gov. Peabody transacted practically
no business of state while in the
Office of governor. He re-
ceived many callers, who urged him
not to resign, and also many messages
of the same import by telegraph and
telephone. To all these he replied that
he did not care to hold the chair. He
said that he was tired of the worry
and excitement of his contest, and
wished to go back to his bank in
Canyon City.

MUST SHOW CAUSE MARCH 81
Attachment for Contempt Issued by
Judge Martin, at Jefferson City,
No, for Col. Phelps.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 18.-Judge
Martin, of the circuit court, issued at
tachment, Friday, for Col. w. H.
Phelps, who failed to appear before
the grand jury. He refused it Thurs
day because of defective service of the
subpoena, but said other evidence was
given him to show that proper serv-
ice was had. Judge Martin adjourned
court to March 81, and instructed the
sheriff to accept a bond of Col. Phelps
when he arrested him to appear before
him on that date to show cause why
he should not be punished for con-
tempt. Col. Phelps was here Friday,
but left without being appraised of the
issuance of the attachment.

RAN INTO BURNING BRIDGE.
Four Trainmen on a Missouri Pa
cffc Passenger Train Injured, thu
assenge Escaped.

Salina, Kas., March 20.-Missouri
Pacific passenger train No. "a ran into
a burning bridge three miles west of
here, Sunday, wrecking the engine
and baggage car and injuring four
trainmen.
The passengers were shaken up, but
all escaped injury. The engineer had
no intimation of danger until the en-
CINE struck the bridge. 1t is believed
the fire was of incendiary origin, as it
burned during a rain storm and the
timbers had been thoroughly soaked
with rain for the past three days.
