10 JUNKETING TRIPS FOR
THE COLORADO LEGlS.
LATURE.

The Colorado senate, on Friday OF
last week, voted down the resolution
providing for visit to the state insti-
u1tions by the members of the legisla-
ture. 1t has been customary for the
members to lay aside the regular bust
ness Of the session, no matter how i'm
portnnt and pressing, for pleasure
trip to the several state institutions.
or course the legislators have always
attempted to justify this waste Of time
on the ground that this visit was for
the inspection OF the state institutions
nnd was necessary to give the members
Of the general assembly correct idea
Of the needs Of these several institu-
tons but. while few OF the visiting
statesmen no doubt make good use of
the custom along this line. still the ma
jority OF them return from such trips
without having acquired much bcneiiei-
al information simply for the reason
that they consider Il pleasure junket-
ing trip. The work of inspecting state
institutions should be done by n com
mittcc and not by the whole legislature.
As matter Of economy this course
should be pursued and the senate has
made a wise move when Il refused to
longer pcrpctuate this useless and ex'
pcnsive custom.

s The Yuma county voters at the last
election voted by large majority to
have county high school. Recently
an attempt was made by few resi-
dents of the county to tie up the high
scl'2ol proposition for time at least.
An application to Judge Burke for
injunction to stop tax collection was
heard at Brighton one day last week
bu the writ was refused We fail to
understand why any taxpayer of that
county should oppose county high
school. The residents of every county
should take pride in making it possible
for the boys and girls of the county Ia
obtain thorough high school training
in the home county. So far as the ex-
pense is concerned, it is very small
matter for the taxpayers of county
and certainly too small matter to jus.
tify any taxpayer in fighting the high
school proposition.

Says the Captain of the Ship Has No
Sympathy with His Evan
geIyZing Efforts.

Washington, April 8. - Captain
Richard G. Davenport, commander Of
the battleshfp Georgia, has just re-
ceived a severe call-down from the
navy department. Complaint was
made by the ships chaplain's. Charles
NJ. Charleton, that, owing to the hos
tile attitude of Captain Davenport it
was impossible for him to attend to
his duties as chaplain, and that his
work among the crew was without re-
suit. He said Captain Davenport APP
peaded to have no sympathy with his
efforts to keep the enlisted men in the
straight and narrow path.
Captain Davenport defended his ac-
ton in not holding divine services on
Sundays specified by saying that con-
ditions weren not favorable. He said that
it was necessary to coal snip on one
of the Sundays i'll question. Inquiry
showed that ut the time the ship was
coaling she was at anchor at Norfolk.
Secretary Metcalf decided that Cap
tain DavenpOrt's explanation was not
satisfactory.
