The vote in favor Of this stood IL TO O..
Three republicans ami three democrats
voted against il. One of the republic
sans was Representative Henry of Con
necticut, but Mr.. Haskins of Vermont,
who has recently become assured of
denomination, changed his mind at the
last minute, SAYS the Washington cor
respondent of the Springfield Republi-
can. A motion was then made to ac-
cept the Beveridge amendment entire,
instead of making the committee s
changes in it. On this the adverse
vote was II to Z, Mr.. Cromer of In
diana. who did not get his vote in on
the first question, now adding himself
to Mr.. Henry and his faithful faction.
Except in the matter of the expense
the changes recommended in the Bever-
idge amendment are comparatively
minor.

C. G. Fits has filed motion to
dismiss the appeal taken by Will Garlic
ton of Brooklyn, n. Y, from the decis-
ion of the commissioners of the estate
of Adora Carleton Of Halifax on the
claim of f. S. Niles of Boston. The
motion to dismiss is on the grounds
that the appeal does not mention any
court to which it was taken, that there
is no prayer for appeal to county court,
that it does not appear that the admin
istrator has declined to appeal to coun-
ty court, that the order allowing the
appeal does not recite that the appeal
is to the county court or that an APP
peal to the court is allowed, nor that
there has been any bond filed for an
appeal. Pingree e. Pingree and f. E.

of which she showed number of pho

two beautiful songs by Mrs. Hubbard.
At the close of the afternoon iee-cream,
cake, waters and lemonade were served

Brother Adams Accepts Compliment

The Glenwood Avalanche the other
day said that the editor of the Press
should be called to one of the editorial
chairs on the Denver Republican he
cause of his ability to twist any kind
of political item to his liking.
Brother Holmes has unconsciousIy
and unintentionally paid this editor a
high compliment.
The Denver Republican, we all will
admit, has been the only daily paper
in Denver that was not affi icted with
great big yellow streak; the only
paper which kept it's pages free from
sensationalism and yellow journalism
of any class OF nature. The RepublI l.
can has, of course, a few minor short
comings that we shall correct when
we get into one of its editorial chairs
through the kindly offices of the Ava
lanche, but generally speaking its
reliability is unquestioned in the state
of Colorado.
The Press editor would have felt de-
cidedly chagrinned had the Avalanche
lifted him into either the News, Post
or Times office-the papers which
cause Brother Holmes to sneeze every
time they snuff-for the reason that
with all OF our other failures, we have
never been accused of possessing a
yellow streak. If we have been able
to correct and give proper meaning to
some of the editorial work of Brother
Holmes we have accomplished her
culean feat, and should it creep up his
yellow back we are very glad of it

Philosophy of Divorce

After separating forty couples in
three weeks through the application of
law, Judge Willard McEwen, of the
circuit court of Chicago, sums up his
impressions of the divorce industry
thus:
1.-The age of twenty is pivotal
time in married life. The age of
forty is another time when divorces
are likely. In the forty divorce cases
heard but two were church marriages.
Conclusion: Church weddings pro-
duce but five per cent of the div orces.
Twenty women, or but so per cent,
were church members, But eight men
out of the forty principals in the di
vorce court, or 90 per cent. were
church attendants. Conclusion: Eighty
per cent of the men church members
keep out of the divorce courts. The
majority of principals were in the
neigbhorhood of twenty years of age
or forty years of age.
There should be law enacted
to prevent the marriage of woman
twice divorced or man twice di =
vorced. Persons twice divorced have
manifested their unfitness for matri-
monial experience. Two failures
should count them out. There should
be most stringent laws to prevent the
remarriage of persons afflicted with
certain ailments.
Lack of companionship is by far
the GREATEST cause of divorce. Ali
mony should be granted the wife.
whether guilty or guiltless in practi-
cally every case. A woman who has
lived with man a number of years is
entitled TO pension. In all cases
the man should he made to support his
children. In the case of young
married couple without children the
wife should be given alimony as it
will make second marriage on the
part of the husband serious busine
consideration, will stimulate him to
greater efforts and will mako re-
Cancellation more likely.
SIN the case OF men applying for
divorces, have found in the great
majority of cases the woman has be-
come petty, purse bearing tyrant.
IF woman is to be kept out CT
mems occupations, he must support
her. The woman grows to blame
the husband for the runaway MARI
ages. st. Joe Is hell"

It's the Altitude

Mr.. and Mrs. John Jordon, of Ash
land, Ind, passed through Glenwood
this week en- route to California. The
couple are quite aged but the old gen
tleman was as active as young lad
while here and had blood in his eye.
On being questioned as the cause of
his excitement the old man briefly
told the following story:
Just after we had left Denver a
man sitting in front OF us in the chair
car engaged us in conversation and
after time became quite confidential
He explained that he had spent sll his
ready cash in Denver and was in
rather bad financial straights. not be-
ing able to cash draft he held on a
New York bank on account of being
stranger in Denver.
'Of course we are only PLAIN coun-
try folks and not being familiar with
banking methods of that character his
story seemed quite plausible, and
wanted to help the fellow out, as he
seemed to be such a nice gentleman.

Serious Runaway
\ lnLL i
Chairman.

The mare driven to the transfer
wagon of o. Neil & Richardson ran
away Tuesday and smashed up the
wagon and severely wounded herself.
On being hitched up at Deacons
barn the driver neglected to put the
shaft in the loop on the backband and
snapped the rein in the bride with a
half hitch around the hame string.
OF course when he started out of the
barn the shaft pounded on the side of
the animal and frightened her and as
the line was caught the driver was
powerless. The mare ran down the
street couple of blocks, turning the
wagon over and running the shaft
clear through the body, entering under
her shoulder and coming out through
the breast.
The mare is under TN care of DR..
Fisk and is getting along nicely.
The driver escaped uninjured but was
badly frightened

The RELOCATION of poor old Arthur

the old st. Louis team. About 80
years ago Arthur played winning ball
for old Girls Won de Ahre of the St
Louis Browns. But the worst of it
all is that Mr. Hull should get so
childish in his old and feeble age as
to "aggravate" the Glenwood kidlets
that we're over there to play ball. Mr..

Shorty Mangnall pulled down a

Don t forget to come to the game
this afternoon. The Palisade team is
touted as good one and has not lost
game this season.
Ed Ewing played perfect game at
first and pulled off couple of sensa

length on the ground he scooped up a
bad throw and put the runner out,
which is an unusual feat.

a clean-cut victory that Upton Sin

last Saturday and decided she would
take nice horseback ride over the
city. Having never before ridden a
horse she naturally miscalculated upon
her ability to ride and as a result lost
her balance and got bad fall from
the animal back as she was passing
Thorson' book store. She was pain
fully scratched and bruised and was
taken into Ewing's drug store where
her wounds were dressed. However
she recovered in few moments and
seemed little the worse for her expert
ence. She was heard to remark, "No
more horseback riding for this
chicken; it's me for the auto.''
