mittees opinion. In the end
mosaic is produced, and upon that
the party's candidates stand.
At Philadelphia in 1900 the Re-
publican case was so clear it was
thought safe to prepare the platform
in advance, and the task was COM
mitted to Charles Emory Smith. a
writer of force and finish, and an ex-
perienced hand at platform-making.
Those who saw Mr.. Smiths work
pronounced it a striking performance
But it did not pass muster with the
platform committee. The deliverance
reported to the convention and adopt
ed by that body was a piece of patch
work. and crudely done as respects
style and clearness. Mr.. Smiths eX-
cellent platform was wrecked by the
committee, and something altogether
inferior substituted.
Both at Chicago and at Denver this
year the platform labors will be un-
usually difficult. Both parties are
faction-torn, and issues galore are
under discussion. 1t will be no easy
matter at either convention to bring
harmony out of the jangling. But
something like harmony must be pro-
duced, and experienced craftsmen put
on the job. All talk, therefore, that
this man or that is to write his
party's platform this year is of the
essence of nonsense, or of mere per-
sonal compliment.-W Star.

AN IOWA GIRL
FILES A BIG SUIT

Davenport, Ia, June 16-Niiss
Bessie johnson, a Davenport
girl, who has been teaching
school at Princeton, thriving
town thirty-five miles from here,
is the center of series of Incl
dents that are attracting much
attention.
For her vindication and becaus;
of circumstances surrounding the ac
ton of the school board in declining
to reappoint her she has commenced
suit for $4,000 damages against the
four Princeton school directors. e. L
Slaughter. S. l. Porter, P. II. Nc
Ginnis and Harry Martin. all promi
nent residents of Princeton.
Miss johnson taught school IL
Princeton for a year and was tht
leader of the social set there durins
that time. Among those who pait
her a good deal of attention was
True Metzar, well-known young
man and member of one of tht
leading families. Miss Johnson says
in her suit that the school directors
commented on these attentions in {
manner that was damaging TO hel
character.
At the annual school board meet
ing Mss Johnson was not reappoint
ed. In fact. the board, as the result
of discussions which had put the
town in a turmoil, made a cleal
sweep and appointed an entirely new
corps of teachers.
Miss Johnson says the board wa:
prejudiced against her because she i'
a Roman Catholic, and that the,
stopped to slander in order to GUS
her. She has the general support ot
her friends here.

Judge Parker for chairman of the
platform committee at Denver? That
would suit the anti-Bryanites to a
dot. That would mean a valuable
point scored in the fight for a deliv-
erance to their taste. Naturally, Mr..
Bryan, who has been interrogated on
the subject, denies that he has given
mis- consent to the arrangement.
Judge Parker may be New York S
representative on that committee
The choice would be a good one No
man better understands, or more
thoroughly subscribes to, the prin-
ciples which New York is pleased to
call Democratic. And his ability to
put them on paper is beyond dispute.
1t may be, too, that he will take with
him to Denver a draft of what New
York would like to see adopted as
the partys bid for votes this year
But that convention composed
largely of Mr.. Bryan's followers VIII
accept such a paper, or any material
part of it, is the most unlikely thing
in the world.
A national platform is never the
product of one pen. The platform
committee must consider all sorts of
propositions couched in all sorts of
terms. Its table is piled high with
suggestions from many sources.
These are examined and discussed.
Some are rejected in toto. Others

POLLUTING OF STREAMS
MUST BE STOPPED

State Game and Fish Commits
fsioner Farr is preparing to put
stop to the pollution of streams in
the state where fish is kept. Yes
terday he had a conference at Gun
nison with the hotel keepers, the
ranchers and the owners of the two
quartz quarries in the vicinity. The
quarries have caused much trouble
by filling the Gunnison river and
creeks with pulverized quartz, thus
spelling the fishing of anglers who
throng the hotels every season. The
South Boulder creek the Las Animas.
the Arkansas and other rivers good
for fishing have also been polluted
from tailings of quarries and ore re-
duction plants. No steps have been
taken against them peTorc.
According to the decisions of the
United States supreme court, a min
ing company can be held responsible
for the pollution and must pay dam
ages. In the Montana case the plain
tiff land company claimed that the
polluted stream, poisoned by pulv-
erized quartz, overflowed and ruined
its land.
Mr.. Farr thinks it is test case
which refers to all the states. and
thinks it will be held a precedent in
deciding cases in this state. Accord
ing to the Colorado law. private cit
liens, as well as the state game COM
missioner, can start suit against
stream polluters on the condition
that they first gain the consent of the
commissioner or the attorney general
to start proceedings.
Mr.. Farr means to make a test

which to look back on is more like the
confusion of dream than aught that
could ever have happened.
I was conducted by Julian into a
long room on the ground floor. Some
dozen people were grouped at the end
of it, conversing in low tones. AS ]
entered, silence fell. All eyes were
upon me.
1 saw Julian meant for me to ad-
vance; and 1 advanced. All 1 saw wore
breasts.
The devil that had spoken for me be-
fore spoke up now:
.Gentlemen,' said 1, Il am glad to bt
here among We. But it is given me to
understand that our time is short 1t
would be best that We should speak
first and tell me your plans, for 1 have

There was no reply.
Pray, gentlemen-" l began again
and the true chevalier could scarce
have delivered himself with a finer
mixture of urbanity and command.
AS upon my entrance. a quick silence
fell upon them, and into this silence
came a voice. Rachels voice. Like the
far lament of the pipe in the hills, il
stole in pure sweetness to my ear; yet
before I heard it's message 1 knew it
spoke my doom.
''Treachery!" it said. And again:
.'Treacheryw-"We are betrayed, be-
trayed!"
The cry came wailing toward us
from the passage. Now she stood on
the threshold, her delicate hand on the
sleeve Of a young man who went be-
side her in silence
A second her eyes fixed upon me, as
I sat, then-in her sweet singsong-
she spoke again:
You are all betrayed. and it is my
fault. That man-it was 1 brought
him into your midst-he is a spy
Here is our prince"
Clamor sprang up again; deep muir

he said in voice which brought me,
with a pang, to the tavern. Il had
fallen asleep at my post"
Truly" 1 exclaimed with bitter
laugh, Il am well guarded"
Aye" said the giant simply; had
any one sought access to your high
ness. it had been across my body. Does
your highness require anything?"
1 stammered from excuse to excuse.
I was restless. Had not been able to
sleep. Had had a thought of seeking
fresh air in the garden
He was all eagerness. He would es-
cort my highness. I answered him
somewhat tartly that I had changed
my mind and desired above all things
solitude.
Then, my heart misgiving me at the
innocent, abashed look on his counte-
nance, being conscious. too, that 1 was
playing my part extremely Ill, added

glass of fair water, for I was feverish

tramped down the passage, hesitating
upon last and mad hope. but the
thought of escape was useless, for l

The lad begged me, with great SIM
plicity, to retire to bed, once again as
surfing me of the thoroughness of the
watch and ward. / could have
screamed at the hideous irony of it all.
Julian was in my bedchamber again
at the first streak of dawn. 1t seemed
that 1 was to preside at some secret
meeting of my loyal adherents at this
early hour. AS he was sparse of speech
and I ignorant of all was supposed to
know, it took much guessing on my
part to discover even SO much.
my brother bids me tell your high
ness" said he, with his deep duty.
that it is grievous to him not to be
present at the great meeting. But he
bids me add that this morning your
highness will at last know his friends"
1t was a long speech for the big lad
his task. Then as Julian glanced at
me with surprise, muttering that our
time was short, turned to follow him.
and my eye caught sight of last nights

Then she courtesied deep before me.
and, as she courtesied. kissed the hand
that had shed her brothers blood.
The room reeled with me. Confused

sinking into a reverence, her silks bal
looming around her. and next 1 was
alone.
I took a taper from it's sconce and
went to examine my countenance in
the mirror. I ought to have been flat

good looks were a byword. The per.

My task accomplished, new calm
descended on my spirit. The great bell
of st. Giles was striking some hour
three said my watch.
1t was a good hour for my escape.
Tiptoe crept about the room and ex-
tinguished the candles already gutter
ing in their sockets. A small silver
night lamp had been placed at the front
of the bed. I lit the wick; it burned
with a small demure glow. 1 stole to
the door.
On the very threshold my foot struck
against a barrier. Had my step been
less timid, 1 must have fallen across
it. Instantly a figure reared itself into
what seemed to me giant stature. I
saw a flushed boyish countenance look j.
ing down at me, blinking in the dim
light, beneath a short crop Of tousled
yellow hair.

KAISER MAKES HIS CHANCEL.
LoR'S LIFE UNBEATABLE.
Reported to Have Intimated He Will
Again Tender His Res
ignation.

NEW YORK, November PA Berlin
cablegram to the World says:
Il am dead tired of this constant strug-
gle with unconquerable impulses" Chan
cellor Won Buelow confided to close
friend after the reichstag debate on the
famous kaiser interview printed October
% in the London Daily Telegraph Life
is not worth living under the conditions
imposed by the emperor, and / am look
ing forward to spending the winter In my
Roman palace free from official cares
Therefore it is believed that the chan
celor will again tender his resignation
very soon, and will insist that the en-
peror accept 1T.
Though he was the chief target of the
eNasperated speakers today. Prince Won
BueloW sat unmoved throughout nearly
the whole of the reichStag session. 1t
was expected that the scorching remarks
would provoke him TO reply, but he re-
manned silent.
Many politicians have suffered impfs-
onment for lese majestic for speeches far
less bold than those delivered in the
reichstag yesterday in the renewed de-
bate on the interpretations regarding the
emperors utterances in the published in
terview.
The session was less dramatic than that
of the day before, but the effect of the
utterances will be even more serious for
Emperor William. His affected indiffer-
ence and his continuing to be absent on
hunting expeditions when the situation
demands his presence in Berlin have in
tensified the hostile feeling and have con-
vinced the statesmen of all parties that
he has failed to realize the gravity of his
position.
The unloosing of long-pent-up discon-
tent has brought about condition which
closely resembles that in st. Petersburg
during the first days of the revolt against
autocracy.
