Imporfing HOrses for Flowing.

Denver Republican.
Horace G. Clarke, chief clerk of the
Supreme Court, has just purchased a
pair of fine imported Percheron-Norman
mares, weighing about 1920 pounds,
which are said to be the finest in the
state. Their names are Queen and Prin-
cess, and it would be hard to find a
better matched pair of draft horses.
Mr.. Clarke will send the animals to
the Panama ranch near Peckham,
Greeley County, his 420-acre place,
which is being put under cultivation at
the present time.
The horses are examples of the kind
of horses being sent into northern Colo
RADIO for the purpose of breaking up al
falfa ground. Some farmers use six
horses abreast at this work, which is
extremely arduous. Some of the alfalfa
roots extend as far as thirty feet into
the ground, and when they break off
frequently give out report like the ex-
plosion of firearm. The plow runs to
depth of nine to ten inches and the
progress is accompanied by continual
swapping and popping. The plows have
to be ironed to stand the strain.
Yet the plowed alfalfa fields are more
fertile than any others, and the roots
account in large measure for the
enormous yields of potatoes found in
the Greeley country.
Many fine horses are being sent into
this territory to do the heavy work re-

What Is Il Newspaper?

A New York lawyer who was retain
ed in newspaper litigation sent for
Several editors and publishers with the
idea Of securing one or two who could
qualify as expert witnesses. He put to
them a number of questions, the first
of which was, "What is a newspaper
The answers he received were varying
and interesting. He went to Webster S
dictionary and read the definition given
there. That did not settle the question
to the satisfaction of the experts, and a
heated argument ensued. 1t is remark
able what different opinions are held as
to what newspaper is or should be.
An official in Wisconsin has, for in
stance, decided that religious paper,
page Of which measures only by
inches, is not newspaper and refuses
to pay for session laws which were rur
as "a supplement in connection with the
paper.
Any of our readers who thinks he car
answer this question satisfactorily is a
perfect liberty to try it.

Asks for Conscience Money.

For the first time on record a contrib
utor to Uncle Sans conscience fund
has asked the government to refund his
donation. A civil war veteran in the
middle West received an allowance of
$430 arrears in his pension. Later his
right to the money was questioned, and
the old soldier sent the entire amount
to the conscience fund. Now, however,
that it has been established to the salts
faction of the veteran that he was en-
titled to the money, he is trying to get
it back. As the question never has been
raised before, the officials are in doubt,
and an act of Congress probably will be
necessary to return the money.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post,
A sociologist has shown that we are
on the verge Of bankruptcy because we
spend So, 900, 600, 600 a year on criminals
and paupers, while the national increase
in wealth is only $1,000. 900, 600 year
He has the figures, some Of them right
out of the census, and the situation is
actually much more appalling than he
pictures it. for it is well knowa that
hard times greatly increase the proper
ton of both paupers and criminals.
Thus, when we are bankrupt, we shall
have to spend $1,000, 600, 600 or 50, 200, =
000,O 600 year on those classes, while
the annual increase of wealth will be
cut down to only $1,000, 600 600 or S4-
coo, 900, and it is as plain as the
nose on your face that. in a very few
years, we shall be in state compared
with which mere bankruptcy is the high
est Imaginable degree of opulence.
Obviously, no optimism short of sheer
insanity could face this prospect had not
another sociologist most OPPORTUNITY

Lancaster Teller; ROCKEFELLER is
not satisfied with the work of the Uni
yersity to which he has given many mill
lion dollars. He does not see the results
he expected, in turning out men who

conclusion Universities are intended to
give young men opportunities for de-
velopment. They are to store the mind
with knowledge. and to train them in
the use of knowledge. They are to
strengthen the mind and to teach it how
to act. Rockefeller thought should
apply to the Wisconsin University. Is
the state getting the results it should
have for the money the people are put

a least half Of the men, who went by,
carefully crawled over or under the

the condemned portions Of the walk. A
year or two ago, when cement walk
was being laid on Main street, we saw
a woman climb over tool box and

that labor is steadily absorbing the
wealth of the country, and now receives
$40, $40, 900, 600 year in wages, while
capital receives, in interest, dividends
and rents, only SO, 534, 900, 900.
Combining these important statistics
with those of the first sociologlst, we
find that, of the total annual increase
of wealth in the country, labor receives
200 per cent, capital 70 per cent and
criminals and paupers 100 per cent. The
rest, no doubt, goes to the farmers.

THE MADISON BRANCH CASE.
Contest Involving Passenger Service
Before Railroad Board

Attorneys representing the state
and the Missouri Pacific appeared be-
fore T. F. Carver Monday in the office
of s. S. Ashbaugh, attorney for the
state board of railroad commissioners
and argued contested points concern
ing the findings of law to be made by
Judge Carver in the Madison branch
passenger service case.
Bale Waggener of Atchison, repre-
scented the Missouri Pacific and At
torney General Jackson, Carr. Taylor
and S. S. Ashbaugh looked after the
interests of the state.
The question is whether the Missouri
Pacific can be compelled by the board
of railroad commissioners through
mandamuS proceedings to install and
maintain passenger service on the
Madison branch to Mound City, when
the board in its findings admits that
passenger service has been conducted
at loss.
The state contends that the evidence
does not show that the passenger bust
ness is conducted at a loss, and the
findings of fact which were discussed
at the meeting of attorneys this morn
ing, seems to sustain this position by
holding that most of the evidence pre-
sented by the railroad company is
valueless as exhibiting real conditions.
The state also contends that as the
Missouri Pacific failed to file objec-
tons to the order of the board within
80 days after the orders had been is
sued it is stopped from making an OBJ
lection to the order at this time Tn
reply to this the Missouri Pacific
claims that it is only required to obev
or answer to reasonable orders. It
claims that the order requiring mas
senger service was unreasonable as II
required the company to conduct it's
business a loss
