MORE NEWS FAKES.

IMPORTANT, if true, is the story
published in Denver to the effect that
on an island of one hundred acres at
the mouth of MANN creek on the Grand
river, Garfield county, two miles from
Rifle, there is veritable robbers
roost.
Sheriff Zimmerman is well acquainted
in the vicinity of Rifle and makes fire
quent trips through Garfield county in
search of bad men. Thus far he has
not received the slightest information
as to the existence of a band of cut
throats on an island in the Grand.
Therefore the sheriff is without a clue
and if anybody in the county knows
where there is located village OF
crooks or a community of highbinders

THE EFFORT of the authorities TO
rid Glenwood of the tough characters
who for some time have infested the
town, is indeed commendable. There
are few bad men here who have been
repeatedly brought before the police
magistrate and fined. They worked out
their sentence on the rockpie but were
scarcely released when they would
again. commit some serious depreciation,
apparently for the purpose of finding a
place behind the bars. 1t is no credit
to any town to harbor such characters
and they should and hereafter will be

THE WORLDS SUPPLY OF COAL

According to statistics compiled by
The Canadian Mining Engineer, the
world still has a considerable supply of
coal Germany is credited with 2s,OOO,,
100000 tons, sufficient to last 1000
years at the present rate of consump-
ton; Great Braitain and Ireland claim
1919, 900, 100000 tons, with an annual
consumption about double that of Ger
many; Belgium has $4,000, 100000 tons I;
France, 10000 100000; Austria, 17,000,-
100000, and Russia 100000.
North America is believed to have 6S1,-
OOO, ,OOO,O 100000 tons, more than the to-
tai of the other countries named. 1t
is the rapid increase in the use of coal
that justifies alarm, for, while the sup
ply of the United State would last A.
900 years at the rate of consumption
in 1905, it will be exhausted within a
century if the rate of increase of the
last ninety years continues. Asia has
enormous coal measures not estimated.
But all this emphasizes the wisdom of
keeping our perpetual supply of white
coal free from private monopolistic
ownership.

OFF FOR THE HILLS.

Glenwood welcomes the hunters
who, with guns-and many of them
with complete hunting outfts-are
making their way to the recesses of
the great mountains, there to bring
down the heet-footed deer and the wild
beasts of prey. These hunters usually
stop here long enough to investigate
the manifold advantages of Glenwood
as health resort, and it is nearly a
sure prophecy that all of them will re
turn again and bring their friends with
them.
The wisdom of the Legislators in per
mitting the Staying of does as well as
bucks may be questioned, and it is the
outspoken opinion of the state game
and fish commissioner who left here
today, that such legal permission will
bring about the extinction of the deer
He promises, however, to see to it that
the game laws will be enforced to the
letter, and we wish him success in his
efforts.
Among the hunters are many veal
thy and influential citizens. Hundreds
of them make a practice of spending a
week or two in the hills in the fall.

STATE COURTS SHOULD
BE SUPREME

|
St Louis, Mo-, Oct 2.-Rcsults of
an important and far reaching nature
are expected to follow the conference
begun in this city today by the at
torneys general of more than score of
states. The conference meets on the
invitation of Attorney General IIadley
of Missouri and the purpose, as an
nounced in the call, is to outline ways
and means to preserve state rights and
to prevent the usurpation of these
rights by the federal government, and
to plan concerted action for enforcing
state laws regulating trusts and other
| industrial corporations.
Among the states which, through
their attorneys general or their assist
ants, are cooperating in the conference
are Mississippi, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas,
Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin
and Arkansas. The attorneys general
of number of other states, though un-
able to attend the conference, have ex-
pressed willingness to cooperate in
the movement.
Three questions are to be discussed
during tie two days of the conference.
They are: Regulation of railroads,
with special reference to freight and
passenger traffic; curbing of unlawful
combinations of capital and discussion
of the apparent jurisdictional conflict
between the state and federal courts.
Other questions incident and minor to
these three are to occupy attention.
The program includes the following
subjects and speakers: Capitalization
of Public Service Corporations, Attor-
ney General Dana Malone of Massachu-
setts; estate Regulation of Public
Utilities" Attorney General William
s. Jackson of New York; "The Stan
dard Oil Trust,'' Attorney General
Wade Ellis of Ohio; "Railroad Rate
Regulation,' Attorney General Her
bert S. Hadley of Missouri.
The results of the conference will be
awaited with interest the country over.
1t is pointed out that if the attorneys
general perfect a working organization
exchanging plans and placing the infor-
nation and evidence gathered by one
department at the disposal of all, the
trust bursting operations will unqucs-
tionaby be facilitated and the fight
made much more equal than in the past.
In addition, the proposed organization
is expected to be of benefit in securing
uniform laws on a variety of subjects.
A majority of the attorneys general
present at the conference, and practi-
cally all of those representing the
states of the South and Middle West,
express the belief that the federal
courts should not be permitted to in
terfere in purely state matters. They
are of the opinion that the state courts
should be supreme within the states,
so long as they do nothing in violation
of tho federal law The representatives
of the eastern states are not apparent
y inclined SO strongly to this view Of
the matter and the difference Of opin-
is likely to provoke some interest
'ne debate in the conference.

GOVERNOR UNJUsTLY ATTACKED

GOVERNOR UNJUSTLY ATTACKED
The disturbance over the manage
. ment of the soldiers Home at Monte
Vista has illustrated two unfortunat'
.. elements that enter largely into public
affairs of this state.
One is the unfortunate desire of GER
tain newspapers to provide their read
ers with sensations, regardless of the
facts in the case, and regardless of the
public interests involved. Not a week,
and hardly a day, passes hut that some
trivial event of slight Importance is
magnified and exaggerated and distort-
ed and falsiiied in order to arouse the
d. jaded curiosity of readers who have be
come accustomed to journalistic chile
nifty in Colorado that has not had the
experience of finding itself gasping
with wonder at some thrilling romance
said to have taken place locally, but
which local gossips are unable. to sub
stantiate. Yet the people OF this same
community a week later will be reading
with avid interest a similar story OF
events said to have taken place in some
other locality. To what extent reputa
tions have been assassinated, business
interests damaged, the public service
demoralized and the good name of the
state degraded at home and abroad is
best known to those persons who have
had personal experience with the sensa
tonal news takers of Denver.
The other element of evil in this Sol
diers' Home affair has been the degree
to which it has been considered not ac
cording to Il desire to get at the facts
in the case, but according to desire
to discredit or to credit the state o-
cials concerned. In the sight of the en-
emies of Governor Buchtel his course
must be inevitably wrong, while his
friends demand with equal vehemcnec
that every single one of his acts must
be approved under penalty of denounee-
ment as a traitor to the state or to the
Republican party.
Because Governor Buchtel has offend
ed a politician or "A journalist in Den
yer in some petty matter, therefore OF
course he must be wrong in the Sol
diers' Home matter; or because Cove
nor Buchtel has lined up in the right
way on political appointments, or has
therefore he is to be commended and
supported in whatever he does. What
folly.
The people of Colorado are getting
very tired of that kind of journalism
and of that kind of politics.
The soldiers Home affair should be
judged regardless of anything that may
have happened in the governor S ante
room in Denver and it should be judged
regardless of whether the governor is
a Republican or a Democrat.
And no one who Judges in that way,
with a full knowledge of the facts, eau
doubt that the governor has taken tn
course that is best for the home and
best for the state, and he deserves
praise for what he has done, and not
blame supported by Misrepresentation

SPRINKLER TROUBLES
Men Who Operate il are Looking
 for More Pay.

It appears that the company which has charge of sprinkling the streets in the city is not finding the fulfilling of it's contract a bed of roses. It seems as though 1t gets out of one snarl into another. The administra- ton has been much dissatisfied with the service which the sprinkling car has given, while the men who have been working on the car are not con tent with the wages they have re- ceived.
 For time yesterday it looked as though the car would not make any of its regular trips, as no motorman would agree to propel the car for the money offered. According to the men those employed on the sprink- ling car are paid only $1.75 day, which in their opinion is not just compensation for their labor. They maintain that it Is much harder on the sprinkling car than working reg ularly on the trolley, but the wages are not correspondingly high. Yes terday the men who have been run hing the car refused to for a time to take up their work unless an in crease in their wages was forthcom- ing. The men refused to say how they fared, hut at any rate the sprinkler was out iaGer during the day. .

MARCONI WIRELESS.
Fine Exhibition at Poli's-Anothel
 t One This Evening.

Last night Polls theater was filled to overfiowing with Waterbury citi- zens to hear the lecture and see the demonstration on the Marconi Wire less Telegraph system given by H. G. Robinson. The lecturer dwelt on the marvellous development of the system during the last few years and the enormous increase in it's commercial business. From time to time during the lecture he gave de- moIstrations of the various uses and purposes to which the system could be applied. MT Robinson was assist ed by one of the engineers of the company who moved the instruments from place to place, showing how rapidly and readily they could be ad- justed.
 The costs of the telephone and telegraph systems as compared to the Marconi Wireless was taken up in de- tail and was listened to with rapt in. terest and enthusiasm by the audi. ence.
 MT Robinson stated he would re- peat his lecture and demonstration again this evening and on Wednes- day evening. The lecture, simplicity of the operations and the facts and figures set forth by the lecturer are highly instructive and entertaining

MAKING OF ROADS
Waterbury Men Fully as Com-
 pelent as those from Abroad.

Talking about road making to- day. man who believed in patroniz- ing home industries said he hoped
 that the day is not far off when pub | lie sentiment will force the hands of city officials and compel them to spend as much as possible of the public funds in such way that it will circulate among those who help
 to raise 1t.
 What would you say" he in
 quired, "of man who would go to
 New Haven or some other town to
 buy suit of clothes when he could
 do as we'll and probably better here
 in Waterbury? Unfortunately a
 great many do, but after all the num-
 Der is small compared with the whole
 population. If this sort of thing
 tent the merchants would be pro-
 nouncing against it. and if it kept on
 many of them would have to close
 their doors in Waterbury and try
 their luck some place else. It IS the
 duty of everybody to spend his money
 in the town where he earns it, pro
 vided, of course, that the stores
 carry what he wants and the price
 is right, and I don't believe 1t neces- .sary to leave Waterbury for the, best of everything one needs at prices
 that in my judgment are below some of our nearby towns.
 T have often thought that in let ting so much work to contractors who live in other towns and outside the state altogether, the city is act ing something like the man who con- ducted grocery and meat market, but rarely bought dollars worth in his own place. It may be necessary to bring in experts to put down wood pavement or something of that sort when We get to 1t, but there is no sense at all in going out of town to ind men to superintend such road Improvements as brick pavement, 'bitulithic, asphalt and so forth. The city has $200,000 to spend in perma- nently improving the streets, and I understand they intend to pay all of that besides what will be assessed against abutting. property to out siders. It may be the best thing to do, but If that plan should be pur- sued all around it would not pay anybody to invest much money in real estate or mercantile pursuits in Waterbury. It would cost about $a.- 900 to install such plant as would be needed to put the city in posi- ton to do first-class road building on a large scale, but 1t would save this in reduced cost of improving one section of some of its main thor oughfares. Why don't they do it? We have been told that by attending to this work itself the city can save an average of $1 per yard on street pavement. If this is true and the department of public works knows 1t, say they should be censured for not making an effort to save this money. l know. what the charter provides with reference to contracts, but l am not aware that our officials have asked for the repeal of the act which ties their hands on this mat ter. Now let them go ahead and prove that they can do good work and save money for the taxpayers, and before the next legislature meets I'll warrant you that a public senti- ment will exist in favor of doing away with the contract scheme which will be too strong for anybody to trifle with"
