The Ballad of an Operaless Opera
BY Albert pay.on Terhune.

Owing to strike the opera "Fnusr'
was rendered at the Metropolitan with
out chorus. A more general strike
is threatened. News Item.
1t was at the Metropolitan II was a
gala night,
And ''Trovatore' was the show pre-
pared for the delight
or all that mighty throng of folk I'm
open-face apparel.
Whose dearth of clothes and blaze Of
gems gave proof of papa's "barrel. Z"
The Horseshoe and the orchestra were
crowded to the doors,
And long-haired wid-eyed geniuses
jammed all the upper doors,
Waiting the ululation OF poor Leonora' $
wall
And brave Manrico's tuneful screech at
being sent to jail,
The orchestra had fought the plucky
prelude to a close.
Mid thrills OF soulful Joy the near
asbestos curtain rose.
Said one glad devotee; "A night OF
rapture Is before u.s.
But-sayl Hey What the dickens Oh,
where is the Opening Chorus?"
out spake the Herr Direktor as h
stalked upon the stage;
Dear friends, the Chorus is on strike.
II makes me weep with rage!
But II you're all imbued with the true,

the intention of the supporters of
the Taxpayers ticket to, IN the
event of the election of their
people. apply for franchise and
they expect the same to be
granted without reference to any
protests from the people. 1t is
fair to assume that theyput men
on their ticket that they can trust
and who willn not disappoint them
in the event they are successful.
But on the other hand there is
not a particle of doubt where the
Good Government ticket stands.
You do not have to ask one of
them. They are all opposed to
granting a franchise to anyone.
They are willing to obey the peo-
pie on this and all other ques-
tions. They are among the best
business men on the town site and
enjoy the respect and confidence
of the people.
We cannot see any good reason
why they should not receive a
most enthusiastic support at the
polls. except that if a man tavors
giving away the towns franchise
rights then he should unhesitat-
ingly support Mr.. Mathews and
his entire ticket. That is the
only way in which this monstrous
wrong can be accomplished.
Outside of the franchise ques-
ton there is little to interest the
public in the matter OF which
ticket is elected. Reverse the
position of the nominees on this
question and their following
would be reversed, almost unan-
imously.

THE FISHING. DECISION.
How its Evil Effects may be Removed
and Colorado's Popularity
Enhanced.
Papers all over the state are

|
recent decision of the Supreme
court which declared that the
public have no rights in the run
ming waters of the state which the
adjacent land owner cannot take
away.
In o"r opinion the decision is
good law. But to let it stand in
its present shape is to do the
state great harm. Colorado is
becoming known as the Switzer-
land of America. Yearly more
and more people come to this
state for the pleasure of fishing
and hunting. Soon we shall have
no hunting to offer. but the fish
ing we may always have. TIE
state has gone to great expense
to provide for the stocking of the
streams and prevent a shortage
in the supply of trout. Another
step is now necessary and it is
within reach.
Let the next Legislature pro-
vide fund for the condemnation
and purchase of narrow strip of
land along each bank of every
trout stream in the state and set
said land apart as a public park,
and include the bed of the stream
in the park. Permit the, State
Game Commissioner to select the
lands to be first purchased and
devote all the try from the hatch
cries to the stocking of streams
that traverse state parks. When
a stream is peculiarly valuable
for fishing purposes, proceed
through condemnation and ap-
praisement to take it tor the
public.
The expense would not be
great. AS matter of fact the
land SO appropriated would be
worthless for any other purpose.
In few years the state would
own thousands of miles of trout
streams, and the conflict between
sportsmen and ranchers would be
ended for all time.
| AS a rule we believe the Game
department could secure deeds
for a nominal sum by the simple
process of cutting off the fry un-
less the state owned the park
privilege. But if they were COM
pelled to go into court the re-
suit would be sure and gratifying
to every man who desires to see
Colorado the resort state of the
whole nation.
