THE speeches are now being
made to the Idaho jury that will
soon give the verdict in the Hay
wood case. Inasmuch as there
has been no evidence to connect
him with the Stunenberg murder,
it seems certain that he will be
cleared. Still there are some
who pretend to believe that the
jury will hang and that another
trial will have to be held.

The Booster finds fault because
there is a discrepancy between
the newspaper reports OF the char
acter of the Sells Floto Shows.
This paper took the word OF
Grand Junction and other publ
cations before the show reached
this county and said that it was
not receiving creditable reports
This was true. Later some Mon
trose and Delta papers printed
high eulogies OF the show and its
marvelously moral and refined
management. 1t is quite possible
that a reformation has taken place,
or they have changed press agents
1t is immaterial to US either way.
Our utterance was made before the
show arrived and may have been
inspired in degree because we
never caught the Post outfit do
ing anything decent or honest be-
fore and did not believe they were
breaking any record in 1907.

WE were too busy last week to
take up the matters in dispute be-
tween the Hotchkiss and Paonia
papers. However. there does not
seem to be a whole LOT to talk
about. In our early life we did
considerable in the way of play
ing game called whist. and in
that game rule providing that
you must return your partners
lead is quite prominent. We re-
gard all the papers in the North
Fork as partners in the boosting
game. 1t occurs to us that we
have not in the past followed the
rule of returning your partners
lead SO generally as we should.
but we know how. Hotchkiss led
a knock on Paonia's Fourth. We
are in possession of the names of
their business men who begged
Crawford to get up celebration,
promising to be there in force, to
do any and all things to help out
if the Smith Fork people would
help them to injure Paonia. Craw-
ford reluctantly went in on the
deal. An unfortunate hysteria on
the part of Paonia's health board,
or part of it, broke up our cele-
bration and the Crawford gather
ing was just to our hand. But
Hotchkiss' intent was very visible.
From this on we are going to
fellow your lead brethren, and by
the way, it is our turn to play.

Our old contracts are at slightly
lower rates than those at which
new membership can be taken
and this is but equitable and Just
The old membership stood by tht
order in the burden and heat ol
the day. If new people would
enjoy the protection afforded by
their industry they should be
compelled to pay an adequate
price. The over million dollars
IN our reserve was placed there
largely by the old members and
new members must pay higher
rates or their participation in this
fund is an injustice to the old.
We care not how many insur-
ance commissioners or Head Con
suls recommend an equalization
of rates. we shall oppose it as
long as opposition can be made
effective. We farther suggest
that Mr.. Boak's request tor an

THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.

Insurance Commissioner Ritten
house 1t is not surprising to us
that we should be misunderstood
in this matter. Our remarks were
ma lie upon knowledge which
dates back for many years
Daring the Twelfth general as
sembly bill was introduced at
the behest of the old line life com
panies placing fraternal insurance
under care of the state, compell-
ing a deposit OF reserve fund
with the state insui ance depart
ment, taxing the orders on their
business and few more infamies
which we have forgotten and can
not recall without looking up the
bill which we still have. Strange
to relate the head of the United
Workman lodge was present on
the floor lobbying for that bill.
BY the merest accident the terms
of the measure became known.
AS rule such bills slip through
very readily when advanced by
the insurance department and
supported by one or more of the
organizations that are effected by
the legislation. Members of the
Woodman order worked for delay
IN the case, secured an adjourn
ment tor the day and some of US
consulted with f A. Falkenburg
regarding the measure. He ex
pressed the opinion that the bill
ought to be killed and the next
day we went after it with an axe
and got its hide. That was scrap
No. /.
In every session since that .ime
some legislation has been adj
vanced having similar purpose
unless the last one is an exception.
E +. Rittenhouse will be re-
membered as the enthusiastic
letter writer during the Peabody
Adams campaign. In that cam
paign he rendered such distin-
guished services to the corpora
tions that they rewarded him by
appointment to the Office which
he now holds. We will admit
that he has pursued some appar-
emily bad companies and driven
them from the state. We ac-
counted tor his activity by assum
ing that his sponsors, the corpor-
ations. desired TO squeeze out
some little fellows. and that he
was ready to help them do it. His
insurance bill is not the wonder
that he and his friends proclaim
it. 1t is as full of holes as a
seive. SO far as policy holders are
concerned We state these things
merely to explain why we have
little or no faith in Rittenhouse
We observe that it is apparently
at the request of Consul Boak
that he has examined the Wood
man order. If SO that spells
nothing except that Mr.. Boak
has been converted to the idea of
State control of Fraternal Insur-
ance. AS a Woodman whose en-
tire life insurance is carried in the
order we protest against the
State of Colorado having any
control whatever over this order.
We have observed enough already
to make us oppose that at all
times and IN all places. Further,
we have faith that when the men,
bers of the order understand what
is intended they will SO emphat-
ically oppose it, that it will prove
an abortive attempt, and the old

Story Of Irvinu.

Irving memories continue to spring
up. Lionel Barrymore played Oh the
stage with Sir Henry the night of his
death and he told of the last moments
OF England's greatest actor as fol-
lows:
"a noticed" said the actor, that
the little child who played Godfrey
that night had too much red on his
cheeks, and | said to myself that as
soon as the curtain fell on the act
l would speak to the child about it..
l was crossing the stage to overtake
the little one and make the correction
In his makeup when | heard Irving,
who was walking in before me, say,
Leo, you've got too much red on your
face. That was 40 minutes before he
breathed lis last, and, as afterward
learned from the doctors, he was liter
ally dying all through the perform
ance."

Rover always had a series of wags
OF his tail and joyous banks for his
master. The dog appeared happy
when with Vogler, and the master al.
ways showed similar feeling. They
were "chums."
Vogler's son, who was told to bring
home some bread the other day,
forgot it. There was but one loaf
in the house, and the father insisted
on giving big share of that to the
dog. A quarrel between members of
the family followed. He tossed most
Of the bread to Rover. Then the
quarrel was renewed. The man
threatened suicide. He hurried to-

THE GOVERNOR and THE A. c.

The REPUBLICAN Is In receipt OF
Gov. Cutters "Outline of the State
Administrations Policy as to the
Agricultural College" The request
is made that 1t be published. This
The REPUBLICAN refuses to do for
the following reasons:
/. The purported outline appears
to US only as q campaign document
personal to the Governor.
2. Instead OF being an outline" Of
policy, 1t appears, after careful pc.
rusa', to be only a defense Of past &C.
ton.
3. The part that is not defense is a
personal attack on ex.President Kerr;
a vicious alignment at time when
the person attacked is probably In q
position where he can not reply except
indirectly.
4, Any defense, attack, or outlining
of any purported policy seems to US
inopportune in this time OF peace and
quietude.
5. The article would cover at least
five or six columns of THE REPUBLI-
CAMS space, and it would be inconve.
nient to give that much space to a
single article OF this kind.
The evidence that the outline" Is
naught but campaign literature and
personal to the Governor lies in the
fact that at this time no one IS de.
manding any such outline and In the
added fact that "the administration"
Is not now nor has II been the
object Of the indignation of any
who disagree with recent action at the
college The indignation has been
directed at the Governor personally
That the purported outline is only a
defense Of past action is indicated In
the fact that but twenty odd lines are
devoted to a statement in reference to
the future OF the college The re-
mainder is purely defense of action
already taken, defense that might
have been unnecessary had the Gov

Provides 'ipert fer the child's BACK
Where II " Mast Needed.

In the belief tb.t proper seating
facilities play an important part IN
re welfare CT school children, George
W. Ehler, supervisor Of physical
training and Director OF Schools
Charles, Orr worked until they have
perfected what they believe Is the
best seat and desk in the country,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The seat Is constructed according to
Ehler's own plans and ia based upon
an exhaustive set OF measurements
made by him last year in the schools.
1t provides support for the child's
back, where 1t Is most needed, at the
base of the spinal column and the
small OF the back. Another strong
point is that the seat proper Is pitched
backward only slightly, keeping the
body at restful angle. Both seat
and desk are adjustable. The new
desks are being installed in ell the
new buildings and grow In favor
wherever put.
Until the perfection Of Ehler's i'm
proved seat there were two forms OF
desk used in the schools. The first
was the old-fashioned desk, not ad'
Unstable at all, and made in unvary
ing sizes for the different grades. II
presupposed that all children in the
same grade would be Of a size.
Then came the so-called 'llver-pad'
desk. The back Of the seat in this
style Of desk consisted of a single
concave rest, to be placed at that
point where the child's back most
needed support. This was faulty In
two respects. In the first place 1,
was narrow and held the child's body
In a vise-like grip and in the second Il
gave support at only one point, where
as the spine requires support at sew
eral points.
