GOOD FRUIT DISPLAY
SHOULD BE MADE

There are many excellent reasons
why Canon City horticulturists should
make as complete a display of their
orchard products at the Fremont
County Fair next week as possible, not
the least important of which is the eff
feet such an exhibition will have in
enlarging the market for apples and
other fruits.
One of the primary objects of a COM
petition of any kind is to stimulate a
rivalry among producers with view
of obtaining the very best article pos
sible of that particular variety This
is especially true among fruit growers
and those who do not profit by such
exhibitions are lacking in that spirit
of emulation which is the handspring
of commercial enterprise.
Secondary only to the rivalry they
inspire among horticulturalists. fruit
exhibits at the county fair call atten-
ton to the resources of the soil and
show what may be accomplished
through human instrumentality. No
where can this be done more effective
ly than in the vicinity of Canon City,
for 1t is here that Pomona Is most pro-
digal with her gifts. People through
out the state realize this and many of
them come here during the autumn
months to visit our orchards when the
fruit is turning to scarlet or gold
through the scarlet of a September
sun.
At fair time there is always large
number of visitors here from Cripple
Creek, Victor and other towns within
a radius of a hundred miles. They
are our best customers. buying the
bulk of the fruit grown by our or
chardists. They represent our best
markets and, as a rule, pay good
prices for our horticultural products.
Owing to the intimate business rela-
tions existing between the people of
Canon City and those of the neighbor-
ing towns fruit growers here are
called upon to make complete exhib-
1t of their products at the county fair.
There will be many visitors here
next week from a distance and 1t will
be our duty as host to entertain our
visitors as well as possible. We must
show them what we can do in the way
of raising fruit especially. for we look
to them to buy it when it is placed on
the market.
A big fruit display at the fair next
week will pay in more senses than
one. To fritter away the chance will
be to ignore a financial opportunity.

THE MAYORS STATEMENT.

Believing as The Record does. in the
question of law enforcement, the May
or's statement in last weeks Record
was at least disappointing
The statement was intended for an
explanation of his official acts, or lack
of official acts, in connection with the
suppression or non-suppression of the
booze joint at 610 Main street.
We credit Mayor Coulter with the
utmost sincerity and recognize that
he has no easy job.
But we can't help but believe that if
Mayor Coulter and his attorneys had
searched the statutes as diligently in
looking for ways and means to sup
press the joints as they apparently
have for excuses not to that some way
would have been found.
OF course, the whole responsibility
is not entirely on the Mayor.
The Mayor. the Marshal and the
Council seem to have about equal au-
tuOTlly anu EeSpoHSlDlllty III lue Ludl-
ter and they should work together.
Mr.. Coulter has made a good mayor
in most respects-but it seems that he
rather seeks to avoid his due share of
responsibility in this matter.
We believe that II James H. Peabody
were mayor of the town and had the
same interests in suppressing the IL
legally conducted joints as he had in
suppressing the W. F. M. in the Cripple
Creek district it would be done with
the same result.
And we believe that If Judge Overs,
Governor Folk. Mr.. Jerome, Dali De
Weese, or any one of a hundred others
that could be mentioned, were today
mayor of Canon City, some way would
be found under the present laws to
put the joints out of business.
1t has been done in other places. VI
ought to be done here.

Previous to this the Chicago expert had outplayed his opponent. and looked a sure winner Cure started the game with run of 112, but fell off badly in the succeeding innings. and except for a count of 79 In the sixteenth played only fairly in the face of Schaefers persistent work.

May 10-Shells and pro- jectiles for the navy department will after June 20, 1906. be purchased by the bureau of ordnance in the open market instead as is now the practice in secret markets from firms engaged in the manufacture of these articles This change was brought about through the efforts of the chair man of the appropriation committee, Mir Tawney of Minnesota, who offered an amendment to the naval appropriation bill In the House today which directs that the secretary of the navy should advertise for proposals for shells and projectiles so that all firms engaged in their manu- fracture may have an opportunity to com pete.
 After defeating amendments designed to enlarge the Washington. D.. c. navy yard and the yard at Pensacola the House at 5:15 D. m. adjourned until noon tomorrow. having completed but a few pages of the naval appropriation bill.

TREAT PETITION
 ASA GREAT JOKE
MEMBERS OF PROPRIETARY ASSo. CLAYTON OF AMERICA, NOW IN SESSION, SAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DRUG TRUST.

New York May 10-The Proprietary Association of America, one of the de- fendants in the petition filed by Attorney General Moody. for an injunction to re- strain certain associations of the corpora tions and individpals from controlling prices in the drug trade, Is holding its annual meeting in this city. During yes terdays session the announcement from Washington of the Attorney Generals action was read to the members. Every body in the association, said President Cheney afterward. took the petition as a joke.
 How can they enjoin us from doing what we are not doing?" he asked. "The whole thing is absurd. There is no such thing as drug trust. The phrase is a misnomer-coined from ignorance of the real functions of the Proprietary associa- tion.
 eve had nearly adjourned this after noon,' President Cheney continued, "when somebody came into the room and showed me this article about this petition for an injunction. I had 1t read aloud to the meeting and we all had a good laugh over it. There never has been any sort of conspiracy to keep prices either up or down. I give you my word that never. even In our most secret meetings, has there ever been any proposal to enter into any such compinatior r would be i'm possible anyway There IS no uniformity of products, in the first place and men who sell many varieties of articles could mol establish a uniform price.
 '"The allegation that no retail druggist can obtain goods from A wholesale drug gist or from a manufacturer of proprle- tary medicines unless he joins the Ma tional Association of Druggists is simply untrue. Every single manufacturer exer- cises his own judgment in the retail drug gists he deals with.
 The Proprietary Association of America has an active membership of 257. The at tendance at the present convention Is un- usually large the principal interests represented being the Wholesale National Druggists association. the Retail Drug gists' association and the Proprietary Association of Canada The officers are: President Frank Cheney Toledo, O.; first vice president. John w. Kennedy. Chicago; second vice president George K. Bassett Burlington. Vt; secretary, Orient c. PnckneY, New York; treasurer. Harry N. Good New York.

The committee on itlnerancy of the Methodist general conference now in ses- sion here will report this morning in fa-. vor of changing the time limit for pas tors from four to a sixyear period.
 The committee met yesterday afternoon and threshed out the whole matter and there has been so much sentiment In fla vor of removing the time limit altogether that there will be a minority report in favor of this plan and some warm times are expected when the proposition comes up for debate.
 It is worthy of note that Centenary church of St. Louis has been the example cited by all those In favor of removing the limit entirely and it mas figured in all the discussions of the committee. For instance it has been continuously pointed that something was wrong when the four years period of Dr. John Matthews ex- pired. and the congregation was suddenly

GOVERNOR PARDEE
 IS IN NO HASTE
ADMITS NECESSITY OF LEGlsLA- TON, BUT INSISTS UPON A PLANNED PROGRAMME BEFORE CALLING LEGISLATURE.

San Francisco, Cal, May 1O.-Although being strongly urged by many influential interests to call an early session of the state legislature, Governor Pardee is in no haste to take action on the matter. He openly declared himself against a precpltate course today by saying.
 @It is better not to have any legislation at all than to enact bad laws"
 That there is urgent need of unusual legislation to meet the distressing results of the disasters that have befallen San Francisco, Santa Rosa and San Jose, the governor readily admits, but he insists upon having planned programme for the legislators mapped out before he issues his convoking call As an outcome of his statement, the committee on special legis- laton today decided to draft call for the legislature and to frame the bills which the governor will be asked to recommend for enactment.
 Another step toward former civic con- ditions was made today when a portion back to their ships tand stations. The re- mainder will leave tomorrow. These men have been doing patrol and sentry duty. The state troops are being gradually sent home. and it is understood the necessity for the presence of the regular soldiers will cease soon to exist. The rougher ele- ment and the criminal classes have gone elsewhere. the presence of the soldiers and the utter absence of liquor furnishing the main reasons for their departure, and the usual police force is now nearly in a position to maintain order.

COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OF
 THE SIX YEAR TIME LIMIT

confronted with the inevitable fact that he would have to be removed. It is pointed out that Bishop Wilson had to violate the spirit of the rules although he compelled with the letter when he allowed Dr. Matthews to remain at the church. although another man was nom- nally in charge
 And now It IS said that the same thing is likely to come up in the case of Dr. w. F. McMurry, who has made himself very necessary to his congregation. The illustration has been so forcible that the extension has been positively agreed to by the committee and 1t Is barely pos sible that the conference will remove the limit entirely.
 Conservative sentiment among the mem bers of the committee. however is to the effect that a compromise may be reach ed which will allow the limit to remain as at present, four years. but will give the college of bishops power to extend the time in individual cases where they see fit

There is no question but what the cleo tion of bishops is now the matter which is attracting more attention from the members of the Methodist general con ference than any other single feature
 It is now thought that the report of the committee on episcopacy will be pre- sented soon, and that it will bring the subject of the number of bishops to be chosen formally before the conference. If the report is presented by tomorrow, it is regarded by those members Of the conference in position to know as likely that the actual election of bishops will probably be held next Tuesday.
