WRIT is REFUSED
BY JUDGE MALONE IN DENVER
FRANCHISE CASES.
JUDGE LINDSEY MAY GO ON
County Court Not Restrained From
Proceeding to Take Testimony In
Regard to Alleged Fraudulent
Votes in Franchise Election.

Votes in Franchise Election.
Denver-Judge Booth Malone in the
District Court Monday refused to
grant the application for writ Of pro-
hibition to prevent Judge Lindsey, in
te County Court, from taking testimony
in the franchise election contests. In
doing so he gave the Tramway and Gas
Company corporations thirty days in
which to perfect their appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
In his decision Judge Malone says:
Il cannot under the law and the
record Of this case, grant the writ OF
prohibition.
First, because 1t does not clearly
appear that the County Court II with
out jurisdiction.
Second, because it does not clearly
appear that this court has the jurisdic-
tion to issue the writ in this case.
Third, because the petitioners have
plain and adequate remedies at law,
by appeal, writ Of error and certiorari.
Fourth, because 1t does not appear
that justice demands it, or,
Fifth, that any great damage or In
jury will or can result to petitioners
unless the writ is issued; and,
Sixth, because it does not appear
that the writ is necessary or war
ranted by law.
THE motion to vacate the rule or or
der to show cause and to dismiss the
petition and cause, are hereby granted
and it will be so ordered.
Il only desire to say in closing, that
l regret exceedingly the prolongation
of the unseemly and bitter wrangles
and controversies in our courts and
community. They neither reflect credit
upon the courts nor upon the state. 1
do not want to see anw injustice done
to the petitioners, neither do l want to
see any injustice done to the people.
"The petitioners are in no danger OF
losing any lawful rights or interests
they may have in the premises. The
Supreme Court can lawfully review the
proceedings in the County Court and
think also the proceedings in this
court, and that court will doubtless cor
rect any errors made in either court.
IF the petitioners are lawfully and
honestly entitled to the franchises
claimed by them they ought to have
them. If, however, they have not law
fully acquired them and are not justly
entitled to them, they ought not to
have them.
THE question ought to be settled
and settled speedily, and not left to be
bone of contention for years to come.
1t will be better for the petitioners and
better for the people to have the mat
ter settled. The people will be better
satisfied and the franchises will be
worth more to lawful owners to have
their integrity established and unques-
toned. But the matter should be set
tied right, for questions are never set
tied until they are settled right. How
ever this may be, do not think that

THE WORLD Is MOVING.

An evidence OF the progress the world
| Is making toward the state Of general
peace and good will. Is furnished by
| the change noticed In the books used
I'm the common schools as channels
| of information IN history. The time Is
| not very far distant when the authors
| of such books considered nothing that
| did not relate TO wars. battles, and
warriors as worthy Of their attention.
What the heroes OF peace had accom-
| plished during the various ages, found
| but little room In the handbooks Of
| history.
A notable change IN this respect has
taken place Of late years. \ report
has recently been published bearing
on that subject. II is by committee
Of the American Peace society, APP
pointed for the purpose Of lnvestigat-
ing the study Of history in the schools
The committee reports that the books
have been growing better of late as
regards the proportion Of space given
10 war stories and the achievements
Of peace This must be considered an
encouraging sign.
According to this report IN the school
histories used between 1913 and 1855,
for instance, the amount of space de-
voted to wars was about forty per
cent OF the books. In the textbooks
used between 1855 and 1897, the aver
age space used for war was found TO be
only 2S,5 per cent. In ten histories
published between 1890 and 1904 the
average war-space was found still fur
Their reduced TO- 26s; and tho newest
school histories. those published be-
tween 1900 and 1906, proved to have
am average Of but 2l.1 per cent Of
space on wars. These figures says
the Boston Transcript, seem to ostah-
lish the fact Of general veering of
the modern mind away from the old
habit of giving too much value and at
tributlug undue effect to militarism,
az compared with those other main
interests OF the world Of today, indus
try. agriculture, manufacturing, cleo
tricul development, railway construc-
ton, education. literature, political en-
llghtenmcnt, art and science
Another evidence Of progress IN the
right direction is found in the fact that
disarmament Is again seriously dis
cussed. The Czar, il viii be remem-
bered, called the first Hague congress,
which was opened on the 18th OF May.
1892 for the purpose OF considering the
possibility OF gradual disarmament but
though tho notable gathering was held
the question of disarmament was dis
missed as Il intended only for a Joke.
But II is coming 20 the front again.

adopted a resolution calling on the
government 60 press FOR the inclusion

The British cabinet endorses this ac-

ton. Sir Edward Grey, the foreign
secretary, is quoted as saying that
there was growing disposition In 9TH
or countries toward reduction Of ar
maments and military budgets; that
the subject ought TO be discussed at
the coming conference, and that he
hoped the powers would regard the
motion las an invitation from the
House Of Commons TO respond 10 their
feelings in the natter This Is true.
In France particularly, the peace SEM
tlment IS strong. And even German
statesmen are quoted as advocates OF
limitation Of naval expenditures by
international agreement.
The world Is making progress, Sever
years ago, Car Nicholas was almost
ridiculed for suggesting disarmament.
Today the British government Is re-
quested to take up that question. and
the prospect IS that II win be seriously
considered, n brought to the attention
Of The Hague congress.
