THAT ADVERTISING TRAIN.

What promises to be the most eff
fective stroke of advertising ever
undertaken by any organization in
Colorado. is about to be launched by
the State Commercial association in
the form of a special car filled with
the agricultural and horticultural
products of our state and sent on a
tour covering one hundred days in
duration and visiting six of the larg-
est state fairs of the middle west
and the very best agricultural ter
ritory of such states as Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin-states from which Colo
RADIO has received large numbers of
splendid citizens.
A large amount of literature will
be carried. Much of this will be pub
lished by the association and will be
confined to the localities having rep
resentation in the car. In addition
to the literature furnished by the
local chamber of commerce
will be given a discriminate distinc-
tion. In addition to this fifty illus
trated lectures on the progress our
state has made in industrial arts viii
be given by Prof, w. G. Brandenberg,
the associations official lecturer
whose work throughout the east the
last two years has attracted so much
attention.
The state made a comprehensive
exhibit of grain and fruits last year
at several state fairs under the direc-
tion of this organization and the re-
turns were most gratifying. A large
number of families have been induced
to come to Colorado through these
methods and the western slope has
received her share.
Prof. Brandenberg will meet with
the Chamber of Commerce tonight.

Coal Madness.

Here is an interesting bit of talk from a
high anthracite coal official. the vice presi-
dent Of the Reading company. the largest
single producer In the country;

India and the. Philippines.

Lord Curzon lately returned from sue
cessful service as Viceroy of India, adj
dressed the Pilgrims Club in London Fri
day night. and. taking India for his text,
pointed out some of Great Britan's difficult
ties there and our ownin the philippines.
Great Britain's task. as the record shows.
is colossal as compared with ours. The pop
ulation of India is something over three
hundred millions. and there are many
races, languages. and religions" repre-
scented. And vet for one hundred and fifty
years Great Britain has controlled the
country. unquestionably for its own good,
and indirectly for the worlds. AT the out
set there were some grave scandals OF adj
ministration and after nearly a hundred
years mankind was Shocked by a terrible
mutiny But the British did not let go.
Scuttle found few advocates.
There are only trife over eight million
people in the Philippines and we have been
in charge only about six years. We have
made our start without any great admins
trative scandal. and armed force has been
used but sparingly. And yet now and then
scuttle is urged upon us. Congress just now
is asked to adopt that policy.
In the report of Lord Curzon's speech ap-
peared this paragraph:
Tie Appealed TO the BRUSH to as FAR as
they could trust the men on the spot, and
not TO worry fret nag them with dog
matte wisdom. They themselves did not
claim superior wisdom, but in any case their
errors were in mo wise comparable to those
based on dogmatic ideas conceived at
home "
Why should we not apply this sugges-
ton? Why should we not accredit our
representa- tives in the Philippines who are
on the spot and charged with difficult du-
ties, with sense and character and our SOL
diers with courage and humanity? Why
should we at this distance assume to know
f. all, and denounce everything that is done
there in the name of America?
Lord Curzon concluded as follows:
Wherever unknown lands exist wher-
ever peoples are in a state of barbarlsm.
wherever new civilization can be i'm

zation wherever, in fact. progress and en-

Vesuvius.

For many centuries. too many to be
counted by historians. the volcano Of
Vesuvius has been spouting forth flame and
ashes, lava and gas. destroying vegetation
and human life. burying cities. wiping out
all vestiges of civilization Yet for as
many centuries people have been choosing
the slopes of that treachercus mountain for
their homes, building houses and assem-
bling cities, to be successfully DESTROYED
by the lava and the fire and buried by the
ashes and the scoria.
There is something beyond the under
standing in this persistence. Today the
keenest sympathies for the sufferers from
the latest eruption OF Vesuvius are tenn
pered by the reflection that these thousands
deliberately took their chances when they

This is taken from John Sharp Williams

In case there is no tariff revision at this
time. there will be. in my opinion. demo-
cratic House, and there will be a demo-
cratic tariff bill. 1t will not be an ideal
democratic tariff bill because We must to
some extent be guided by actual conditions
surrounding US which will make swerve

The promise here is of a campaign in 1908
somewhat analogous. so far as the tariff
is concerned, TO the campaign of 1855 In
the latter year 1t will be remembered, there
was democratic House, but the republ
cans controlled the Senate. The result was
that the tariff bin which the House passed
died the death in the Senate, and the presi-
dental campaign was waged on the tariff
issue as thus made up. Mr.. Mills in pre-
pairing his bill did not go as far in the d.
rection of tariff for revenue only as Mr.
Cleveland had recommended in his mes
sage. but he went far enough to give the
republicans their cue, and, with Mr. Blaine
beating the big drum. and pointing steadily
% Mr.. Cleveland's message rather than to
tie Mills bill. the republicans won.
IL will be something to the good for the
democrats II they control the next House
that their pretensions will not be as high
or their proclamation as large as when
Mr. Cleveland was their leader. They are
not committing themselves so unreservedly
now TO a policy of destroying the customs

The Michigan Senatorship.

In his announcement for the Senate
Representative William Alden Smith (who
ought to prove a strong candidate for the
senatorship) does well to offer himself to
the people of Michigan in order to elicit
a popular expression of their wishes. The
plan works well, and many of the fruits of
1t are excellent. And the plan is being
adopted north, south. east and west. 1t is
in every important way an Improvement on
the old plan, and especially In that It
brings all aspirants out into the open. and
closes the door against dark horse. Be-
tween now and June, or November, Mr..
Smith and his rivals should be able to pre-
sent their claims to the republicans of
Michigan in a way to satisfy themselves
and the electorate and insure satisfactory
choice. Then the Legislature, so instruct

The Sims Home-Rule Bill.

12enresentatiye Sims proposition for
home-rule law In respect to appointments
for the District of Columbia. inspired by
recent happening, is precisely what the
people of Washington have been desirihs
for a long time to be enacted into law Or
Crystallized into custom. 1t states in fairy
explicit terms the closest approximation
possible In the case of the national capital
10 the doctrine of self-government in the
matter of municipal appointments IL
writes into the form of a proposed statute
the principle which underhes all appoint
ments TO the Office of civilian District Com
missioner. extending by two years the term
OF actual legal residence here which the
law already requires in such case.
IT is evidently Mr.. Sims purpose to frame
n statute which will render impossible fu-
ture infractions of the home-rule doctrine
as regards all offices of strictly municipal
character The bin thus affects both APP
nointments by the President and appoint
rnents by the Commissioners. 1t includes
surb offices as the recorder of deeds ana
the register of wills, as well as the stiperih-
teudrnt Of insurance. the superintendent OF
street cleaning the Inspector of buildings
and the health officer.
Mr. Sims argues that members of Con-
gress should not be solicited Tor theiI
patronage and influence In the dlsposal OF
the Districts local officers. These posi-
lions should be left open for selection by
the President or by the Commissioners solely
or the recommendation of the citizens OF
the District, who under such system are
thus given in measure a voice in their
own administration.
To the extent that the Sims bill merely
comedies with and formally expresses In
proposed legal form the existing conditions
# Is desirable presentation. for If enacted
fl Will permanently settle the question of
what constitutes legal residence In the
District for the purpose of appointment to

and locally maintained offices, such as the
recorder of deeds, upon outside political
partisans or representatives of special

ground of partisan selhshness and plain
disregard for a principle which lies at the
bottom of all American public institutions.

crust or foundations by the sea or blasts
from the molten Interior are no more
dearly beloved by their occupants than are
the regions of occasional terror. Indeed 1t
sometimes seems as though the dentzens OF
the earthquake and volcanic regions are
more strongly attached to their treacher-
Gus homes than are the dweliers In the

several cities Eaye been destroyed by the
lava and tens of thousands of people have

given by the volcano before it began It's

have been some close escapes, as the peo-
pie have waited on the edge of the lava
stream praying that the advance would
cease 1t is impossible to estimate the uIti-
mate carnage or the Sxtent of the lava
flow. All present signs point to contin-
uation OF the eruption In force for several
days. Yet 1t may cease suddenly, or there
may come a single vast retching OF the
earth In an explosion carrying destruction
greater than any ever known before.
Vesuvius has been scientifically rated as
a mean between the quiet and explosive
types Of yocanoes. but it has at times dis
played tremendous energy. In 1922 the
summit of the cone was reduced by fully
800 feet by the force of the eruption. In
ITO stones were thrown to a height esti-
mated at 10000 feet But vesuvius has
never. so far as records show, displayed
such explosive activity as that witnessed
in the case of Krakatoa, in the Straits of
Sunda In May, 1883, after more than
200 years of quiescence this volcano began
to show signs of activity. and finally on
the night of August 1927 it exploded with
such force as to blow miles into the air
a mass of rock which has been estimated
at one cubic mile. The dust arose verti-
caliy fully twenty miles and was distriD-
uted practically all over the earth being
borne by the upper Currents The explosion
caused titanic tidal wave which destroy

A Gratuitous Insult.
the Washlngton american Spectator.


At the time of the Mrs. Morris incident,
at the White House. much as We deplored
it. the American Spectator took occasion to
call attention to the general air or good
breeding which marked Secretary Barnes
conduct up to that eYentful and wholly re-
grettable episode. There was no reason TO
gloss over the offense Of Mr.. Barnes at that
time nor to seek to condone his action on
the score of his past performances. HIS
proclamation from the White House and
the manner in which the subject was sum
marily dismissed did not increase the liking
OF the people of Washington for the present
occupant of the White House. nor for his
methods of conducting certain relations
with the outside world through his private
secretaries. No one had. ever thought of
Mr. Barnes as q possible city postmaster
Even if they had, 1t is likely the Thought
was dismissed when he gained the unani-
nous condemnation of the press OF the
country for his actions In regard to Mrs.
Morris's ejectment. His lack OF tact on
that occasion. to use the mildest expression
that may be offered, proved hts unfitness
for any Office requiring flnesse: and his
utter inability to cope with even a slight
personal dilemma was proved. These things
being true it Is but natural that many per-
sons look upon the Presidents nomination
of him to be Washingtons postmaster as a
gratuitous insult to the city and direct
slap In the face of its citizens. II such is
the case 1t Is hard to fathom the Roose-
welt motive. 1t may be either that he IN
vests his friends and henchmen with the
king can -do-no- wrong attitude which ac-
tuates his own actions. or else he simply
wishes Washington to know that he cares
naught for its opinions, or will be sweetiy

arose over the Morris matter.
