Difference on This Side the Water.
The persistent effect upon the heart
OF caffeine in coffee cannot but re-
suit in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee) weShens
the organ a little more, and the end
is almost a matter of mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from
a Western state:
Il am of German descent and it
was natural that | should learn at a
very early age TO drink coffee. Until
was % years old | drank scarcely
anything else at my meals.
"A few years ago | began to be af-
fected oy steadily increasing nerv-

INTO a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add
ed asthma in its worst form. My
sufferings from these things can be
better imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than | did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made ev-
cry effort to make me stop.
Finally il was decided few

absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food

GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.
Supreme Court Decision in Case of
Senator Patterson.

Denyer-The Supreme Court of
Colorado Monday morning handed
down two opinions in the Senator Pat
terson contempt case. The majority
opinion, which found Senator Patter-
son guilty. was written by Justice Ju-
lius c. Gunter and was approved by
Justices Gabbert, Campbell. Gunter,
Bailey, Maxwell and Goddard The
minority opinion, which found that the
respondent was not guilty of contempt
was by Justice Robert w. Steele.
The written opinion of the Colorado
court having been made public, the
News, Senator Pattersons paper, an
nounces that the attorneys for Senator
Patterson will ask the Supreme Court
of the United States to take jurisdic-
tion in the case. The appeal to the
highest court in the land will be made
within the next few days.
The majority opinion of the court
covers 16S typewriter pages. The
main points made in the document
may be stated as follows:
First-That an affidavit is not essen
tial to the jurisdiction of the court in
cases of constructive contempt.
Second-That the offense of con-
structive contempt was committed by
ces set out in the information and that
direct contempt was committed by
filing the answer
Third-That it is immaterial whether
the articles or the averments of the an
swer were true or false.
Justice Steele's dissenting opinion.
which is of great length, is summarized
| by himself as follows:
THE court made a mistake in insti-
tuting the proceeding: mistake in
holding that an affidavit is not essen
| tial to its jurisdiction; a mistake in
holding that the acts of the respondent
greater than these was the mistake
it made in holding the truth to be i'm
material. For, aside from the fact that
it denied to the respondent important
constitutional rights. in the very ma
| ture of things those who before be-
| lieved the charges to he true are now
confirmed in their belief. and those
who did not believe them now have
| their confidence in the court shaken
| solely because of the action of the
court in refusing the respondent a
hearing and denying him the right TO
offer proof in support of the charges,
and in holding that it is entirely i'm
material whether the matter published
| is true or false. AS | am of the
opinion that it is not a crime in this
state to write, speak or publish the
truth of or concerning the official con
due of public officers. | must dissent

PRESIDENTIAL PREDICTIONS.
Roosevelt Will Go Round the World
and Hunt Big Game.

The other day Golfers Weekly
made a prophecy in regard to the fu.
ture of the President 1t said that he
would probably enlarge the scope OF
his hunting expeditions and possibly
go to India to get a shot at tiger or
lion. 1t predicted that all the luck
would be on his side and that tiger
, skin would eventually grace his col
lection.
The Leadville Herald Democrat has
already gone on record in the matter
of predicting what the President will
do when he retires from the White
House. 1t is somewhat in line with
Golfers. We are quite certain. says
the Herald Democrat, without having
any definite information, that when
fAe President leaves the cares of pub
l'e Office he will make an extended
tour around the world. That is the
only logical and natural thing for him
TO do. He is easily the foremost man
in the eye of the world to-day. He is
peculiarly admired and praised by
every sovereign of Europe. He him.
self, as we understand it, has nevas
been abroad, and he will naturally
want to see what there is to be seen
on the planet. Incidentally of course
he would 90 tiger hunting in India and
lion hunting in Africa, for we believe
that the trip will take him not only
along the regulation paths of tourist
travel, but into the hooks and crannies
of the globe where white men do no
often go on personally conducted
tours.
We guess this prediction is all right.

FIGHTING OVER FOOTBALL.
5ickerire of Students May End in De-
stroying the Game.

In the uproar raised among college
West by the action of the recent fac
ulty conference on football reform
there seems to be a general overlook
ing of the main point, says the Chi
cago Tribune. From practically every.
university belonging to the big nine"
and some which do not have come pro-
tests against this or that recommends
ton. So far as the students are CON
cerned there is unanimous approval OF
none of the recommendations, but
their protests are directed at different
angles, according to how the reforms
will affect their own institutions.
1t is forgotten, apparently, that the
nine faculty representatives voted
unanimously to recommend the aboli-
tion of the game of football as it has
been played, and that several, at least,
of the universities will stand by that
action.
The faculties are weary of the pub
lies impression that universities are
founded to develop football eleVens,
and that men go to college to earn
varsity sweater instead of a degree
They are weary of having great institu-
tions of learning lowered in dignity by
the prominence of a game into which
SO much is evil and unsportsmanlike
has been allowed to creep through the
overpowering desire to win.
They have determined to dethrone
the king of college sports by depriving
1t of its greatest attractions for the
public by cutting down its immense
revenues and permitting only a limited
number of intercollegiate games in
year so as to prevent the deciding of
championship" If possible. They have
determined to reform the game until it
is so different its present admirers will
not like it. And the students and
alumni will find, when it comes to a
show Of hands, that these faculties
will have the final say. Students and
alumni, who are bending all their eff
forts toward warding off some reform
which does not suit their own individ-
ual ideas or colleges, would do better
to direct their forces toward saving
some part of football. The retention
o. the professional coach, the question
of who proposed this reform or that.
and the three-year rule are mighty
small matters beside the question
whether foot ball is to be retained
generally as a college sport or by only
a few institutions.
