retiring, to properly spell and thor
oughly define the meaning of many
words not ordinarily in present use.

ton. she was expected to commit to

Enalish Canal BUILDING.

A royal commission has been ap-
pointed to consider the advisability of
opening up the numerous canals which
extend all over England like veri-
table network. Most of these canals
in modern years have been put out of
use deliberately by railway companies
who have acquired them for the ex-
press purposes of closing them up. Up
ward of 40,OO0,0O0 tons of goods were
carried on English canals last year;
but it is stated that were all the canals
opened three times this amount could
have been transported. The royal COM
mission is to investigate and report
on the entire subject of English rail
way canals, and the new government
is following pbellBannermans
lead when he recently said: Few
things are more capable OF beneflting
both town and country than the deve!
opment of our system of canals. 1t
will facilitate transit, open markets
and bring town and country together"

COUNTY JUDGES MEET.
Colorado Associ alton Discusses County
Court Matters.

Denver-A first preliminary meet
ing of the County Judges Association
of the state of Colorado was held al

There We're present Judges William
G. Alexander of Littleton. Junius Hen
derson of Boulder Joseph hewitt OF
Buena Vista, Roy II. Blackman OF
Georgetown, Fred n. Dickerson of
Delta, Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, r. r.
Ross of Trinidad, c. j. Scharnhorst or
Montezuma, Thornton II. Thomas OF
Cripple Creek and Charles T.. South
ard of Greeley.
The object of the meeting was to dis
cuss proposed legislation first, matters
pertaining to the County Court gener-
ally, as to It's jurisdiction and the cX-
tension or limitation thereof, matters
concerning probate laws, matters per
tanning to the children's laws, includ-
ing the juvenile delinquent, the adult
delinquent and the school law. the
child-labor law, an,i-cigarette law, etc,
matters pertaining TO general practice.
1t was suggested that appeals from the
county to the County Court be abol-
ished That the county courts of the
state be given Jurisdiction in felony
cases, and that the county courts be
made probation courts. A separate
classification for county judges and
clerks of courts of record was recon-
mended. That the judges of courts of
record be empowered by general law
to appoint and employ stenographers,
to be paid out of the funds of the
county, their compensation not TO en-
ceed TO amount now allowed by law
for stenographers of the district
courts.
Also to pay for the services outside
judges called to assist the county
judges: that provision be made for the
payment of clerks in the county courts
of the state, out of the collections of
the Office: to draw some amendments
to the juvenile law, increasing the age
of delinquents to eighteen years, boys
and girls, with provision that the
court can remand cases TO the criminal
court, if thought best to do so, by the
judge of the court.
Judges Southard. Henderson AleXan-
der and Lindsey were appointed spe-
cial committee TO frame bills for the
laws indicated. and such laws as the
committee may think proper, and pre-
sent them to the next Legislature.
Meetings will be held next fall and
winter.

MONEY AND CREDIT.
Pressing Needs of San Francisco FL
nance Committee.

San Francisco.-James d. Phelan
chairman of the municipal finance
committee, Sunday gave the following
statement to the press:
1.-THE demands upon the finance com
mittee are very great and we do not
see how we can meet them If the pres
ent conditions continue. There is no
money In circulation. The banks are
closed because they do not dare open
their heated vaults, and when they do
open them they will probably pay out
slowly, as they realize upon their as
sets. They expect next week to cash
the checks of well-known customers to
the extent OF $500 each. That meas.
ure will help in small degree the re-
sumption of business. There is suf-
ficient food supply in sight for the
present. But the great problem for us
is how to provide for the absolutely
destitute, for the sick, the old, the chill
dren and all other dependent persons.
1.-THE means of support of the hos
pitfalls, orphans. religious and char
table associations of all kinds are alb
solutely cut off. The local Red Cross
estimate that 81 600 per day is neces-
sary for the hospitals. They say it
will take years to set the hospitals on
their feet. We are formulating a plan
to present to our committee by which
more credit can be secured for the re
habitation of our workers, our institu'
tions and the rebuilding of our city.
Everybody is willing to work and to
make necessary sacrifices, if the tools,
as il were. were put into their hands
to re-establish the economic and So
cial conditions which prevailed before
the fire.
I'VE need large sums of money at
low rates of interest. Such moneys
would be amply secured, and, as in the
case of Chicago, give us new city
and give TO every body the means OF
resuming their ordinary vocations in
life with the promise of an abundant
reward for their steadfastness, within
a period of less than five years.
Everybody is hopeful and couraS-
eous and the prosperous communities
of the United States will. we are sure,
answer cur call for help. Their spon
taneous and generous aid has deeply
touched the hearts of our people
