A friend of the Journal writes us from
Fairfield to say that there is something
wrong In that item which has been 60
ing the rounds of the press Of late, stat
ing that 1905 il the only year between
1926 and 20l5 which possess 53 Sundays.
Our correspondent encloses list of no
fewer than IS years between those
named, each of which, he asserts, has SO
Sundays, basing his list upon Coburn' 5
Almanac. The original statement is
still further wrong in the fact that 3Ol5
will have but 80 Sundays, the nearest
year to that having SO Sundays being
20lS. The years nearest 1905 viii ch al
so are favored with 53 Sundays are 1899
aed 1911. No doubt our correspondent
is right. and IL is difficult to Sea how the

An interesting phase of the Colorado
guessing game as to who is governor
of the state is the suggestion that both
aspirants be thrown out and the lieu
tenant governor be promoted to the
sovernorship. The merit of this
scheme lies in the fact that everybody
agrees as to who was chosen lieutenant
governor. while opinions are varied as
TO the result of the gubernat orial fight.
There possibly may be constitutional
compromise. but it's element of common
sense appeals to the average citizens.
