Taft and Labor.

When on the bench Judge Taft said.
That employees have a right to form
labor unions
That such unions are a benefit to n.
Dor and to the public
That they have the right to join
with other unions.
That the accumulation of a fund to
aid in a strike is right.
THAT employees have a right to strike
whenever any Of the terms of their
employment are unsatisfactory

British Premier May RESIGN.

Londou.-Rumors have been nu-
merous i'll the lobbies of the house of
commons of the iminent translation
of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma to
the peerage or his resignation from the
premiership. Inquiries in the best in
formed quarters, however, indicate
that the premier's position has not
changed since the latter part of Janu-
ary. when it was said that he would
give his attention to only the more i'm
portant matters of state.
Sir Henry is still far from robust
health, and before long. unless he be-
comes stronger, some definite course
must be taken. 1t is understood, how
ever. that no decision is likely to be
taken before Easter. when, II he finds
the duties of the premiership too great
a tax, he will resign his position in
favor of Herbert A. Asquith. and re-
tain his seat in the commons rather
than accept a peerage. thus following
Gladstone's example

Defense OF the Navy.

Secretary Metcalf has
received from Rear Admiral Washing
ton l.. Capps. chief constructor of the
navy a long report dealing with the
criticisms which have appeared re-
garding naval construction and which
formed the basis of the report of Ad-
miral Converse. made public Sunday.
The report was made by direction of
secretary Metcalf, who was anxious
to obtain from the chief of the bureau
having charge of naval construction
his views on the question. 1t was made,
Secretary Metclaf says, without con-
sultation with Admiral Converse and
neither of the two officers was aware
of what the oter was doing. The views
expressed by Admiral Capps, Secretary
Metcalf says, are an emphatic refuta-
tion of the criticisms which have been
made and in all practical respects they
agree with the views of Admiral Con
verse. Admiral Capps' report goes into
the situation in much more detail
than did Admiral Converse; the report.

drawings to demonstrate his position,

Beatrice Gordon Acquitted.

Denyer.-Beatrice Gordon was ac-
Quilted of the charge of numbering
William o. Shirey, by the jury in the
jury went cut at $50, but did not com
menCe consideration of the case until
after supper. An agreement was
reached Immediately, and they were
ready to report before 8 o'clock But
two ballots were necessary, the first
standing eleven to one for acquittal,
and the second unanimous.
Miss Gordon received the verdict
without manifestation of emotion. She
remained at the county Jail with the
matron last night. but will go to her
sisters in Lafayette. Colorado, this
morning. She says she has no plans
for the future.
AS soon as the clerk had read the
verdict, Judge Greeley w. Whitford
astounded the jurors and the few spec
tators by saying:
There are more murders committed
in the United States, gentlemen than
in any other civilized country in the
world, and there are fewer convictions
and punishments for murder in the
United States than any country In the
world. 1t is worthy of reflection for
government where the government
is by the people, whether life is secure
under such methods as ours.
This verdict is not such a verdict
as the court would have found in this
case had it been within its province.
But you have found for acquittal and
the defendant is dismissed"

Hughes League Organized.
Selects Gen. Stuart L. Woodford as Its
President,

New York.-Declaration of support
Of the candidacy OF Governor Hughes
Tor President and prophecies of his
election to that office were made by
speakers Monday night at the formal
notification to Gen. Stuart l.. Woodford
Of his selection as president Of the
Hughes League of the United States,
which TOOK place at the Hotel Manhat-
tan. Members of the notification COM
mittee and members of the Hughes
League from many parts of the country
were present. The speakers included
General Woodford, John E. Mulholland.
chairman of the Hughes League; for
mer Governor Bachelor of New Hamp
shire, Congressman Waldo of Brooklyn
and former Mayor Seth Low of New
York.
In accepting the leadership of the
Hughes League, General. Woodford
characterized the political situation as
serious, and declared that the Demo-
cratic party will do its best to get to-
gether and win the coming election He
admitted that they looked dangerous" !"
The Republicans must not count on
Democratic mistakes as in the past he
said, and a mistake now by the Repub
licans would be crime. He paid high
tribute TO the worth of Governor
Hughes, who. he said, he had known
from his youth.
Former Governor Bachelor occa-
stoned long applause when, in his
speech. he declared that "one of the
most remarkable and one of the most
encouraging developments N current
political movements in New York had
been the remarkable growth of senti'
ment there for Governor Hughes.
Speaking of this sentiment Governor
Bacnelder said:
Remarkable, call it. because it has
been entirely spontaneous, springing
from the eager consciousness of our
people thar in him they have a leader
who embodies all the high traditions of
New England Republicanism, calm, dis
passionate. restrained and resolute.
The sentiment of New England Repub-
licans for Governor Hughes is not of
the hothouse growth. No clique has
fostered it, no machine has made it. 1t
arises from deep and genuine appreci-
alton of his character and purposes,
from study of his mind and from an
abiding faith in his as man and as an
executive"
| Chairman Mulholland. who made the
Speech notifying General Woodford OF
his selection. told his hearers that the
campaign in the interest of Governor
Hughes was making steady progress,
and declared the Republican South
was awakened and will be on our side.

Beets Pledged For New Factory.

Denver.-A News special from
Rocky Ford Saturday night says: AT
meeting of the Otero County Beet
Growers association held here today
1000 acres Of beets were pledged by
the farmers here for the new Man
zanola beet factory. to X built inde
pendent of the trust. La Junta sent
word that it would guarantee 1000
acres more, and Fowler 1000 acres
Manzanola has promised 5000 acres.
and there have been 500 acres more
pledged. making total of $500 acres
for the factory before even the ground
for site is selected.
From Manzanola to the meeting to-
day, which was protest against $3.50
beets, came committee Of three on
behalf Of the independent mill, ]. M.
Baty, E. ]. Brewer and William Nc.
Castill. The meeting was largely at.
tended and many addresses were made.
Among other things brought out was
that Rocky Ford grew the best beets
In the United States and got the least
Tor them. Speakers also showed that
the profits In making sugar from sugar
beets was enormous, and that there
could be no question that the Man
zanola independent plant would be
success.
All efforts to get the sugar COM
panies to pay more than $3.50 per ton
have been without avail. the PROPOSE
tion Of the farmers insisting on IS for
Aeets being aatly refused.

Would Assist Unemployed.

Washington.-Seth T. Farnsworth of
Chicago, advocate of the idea of self
supporting agricultural schools as a
remedy for enforced unemployment
and John Ellis of Boston, secretary of
the national convention of the uneln-
ployed recently held at ST. Louis, had
conference with Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson for the purpose of as
certaining to what extent the idea of
self-supporting suburban schools of
farming might be encouraged by the
federal government.
They explained that the object was
to furnish work for the victims of en-
forced idleness In congested industrial
centers.
Secretary Wilson said in reply that
It was the unquestionable duty of state
and municipal government to estab-
lish such enterprises and that if they
would provide land within the range
of flve-cent fare from towns, thus
letting the unemployed have access to
such farms, he would send experts free
of charge to demonstrate the work and
also would send the necessary seeds.

Food Adulterations.

DeNver-Through the labors Of the
state pure food and drug commission
the general public of Colorado has of
late seen some remarkable revelations
concerning the nature of the things it
eats. Tho commission, instead of pros
ecuting cases, has been warning deal
ers, and the result is that close in
spection nowadays will show strange
changes from the labels that have hith-
erto been made familiar to the public.
In design and general appearance the
new labels are like the old, but close
examination will show strange things
printed. usually in very small type.
Here is a list Of some of the changes:
Formerly Pure Maple Syrup" now
Cane and Maple Syrup" on what was
previously known as pure apple cider
the words limitation and artificially
colored," but in very small type, now
appear; potted turkey is now "potted
meat, turkey favor" pure cider vine
gar is now distilled and artificially
colored;" pure apple butter" is now
fruit butter. apple flavor. 25 per cent.
glucose"
The new labels confess that bologna
sausage has preservatives in it, that
current Jelly is rs per cent apple juice,
and that pepper contains 25 per cent.
of adulteratioE-sucha as charcoal, corn
meal and ground cigar boxes; that ice
cream is frozen milk and coloring mat

Is made from cotton seed, and that

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.
Bill Introduced In Congress to Protect
Railway Workers.

Washington.-A comprehensive en-
ployers' liability bill has been intro
duced in the Senate and House by Sen
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin, and Rep
resentative Sterling Of Illinois.
The authors say the bill has the
Endorsement of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and is intended to meet the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court, by which
the employers liability act of June IL,
1906, was declared unconstitutional.
Every common carrier, while en-
gagged in interstate or foreign con-
merce, or commerce between the pos
sessions of the United States, is made
liable to its. employees who are injured
while employed in such commerce,
when such injuries are due to the negli-
gence Or mismanagement OF any Of
ficer or employe Of such carrier, or
when due to defects or insufficiencies
in equipment.
This provision Is made equally ap-
plicable to carriers in the territories,
the District of Columbia and the Pan
ANA canal zone, and carriers engaged
in the transportation OF United States
mails.
The bill recognizes the doctrine of
comparative negligence" as it is now
recognized in the states of Wisconsin,
South Dakota. North Dakota, Ne
braska, Nevada, Georgia and Florida,
and in the act of Congress which was
declared unconstitutional.
1t permits an employe to recover
damages ii he has been guilty of con
tributory negligence, but says the jury
shall diminish the damages in accord
ance with the amount of negligence
they may find Is attributable to such
employe.
1t is provided that an injured en-
pioye shall not be held to be guilty of
contribu:ory negligence in any case
where the violation Of the law by the
carrier contributed to such injury;
also that questions Of fact relating to
negligence shall be for the jury to de-
termine.
In the event Of verdict in favor Of
the employe, it is required that the
court shall allow as part of the costs
a reasonable attorneys fee, not exceed
ing an amount equal to twenty-three
per cent. of judgment recovered, and an
additional fee equal to five per cent. or
the amount finally recovered for each
appeal.
An injured employe shall not be held
to have assumed the risk of his en-
ployment In any case where the viola
tion of law by the carrier contributed
to such injury. One section of the bill
specifically makes void any contract,
rule or device whatsoever, the purpose
of which is to exempt the carrier from
liability under the act. The statute of
Limitations within which suit can be
brought is fixed at three years.

Consumption and Typhoid.

Albany, N. YIN his anual report
Just submitted to Governor Hughes,
Eugene H. Porter, NJ. D., state health
commissioner, points out that tubercu-
los1s, although preventable disease,
>causes $1,000 deaths and an expense of
$7O,000.000 on the state of New York
each year. Typhoid fever, says the re-
port, is responsible for 1000 deaths and
a cost Of $7.000,0OO annually.
Discussing the subject of tuberculo-
sis, the commissioner states THAT from
one-seventh to one-tenth Of all deaths
and an enormous proportion of invalid
ism are due to it.
In New York state there are prob
ably not less than $4,000 cases of tuber-
culosis. with nearly $4,000 deaths an
nually. And 1t is a preventable dis.
ease.
Eacn town and city must also take
up for Itself the suppression of tuber.
culosis within it's own borders, says the
report. Suitable local ordinances
should be enacted and provision should
be made for hospital facilities.
It is estimated that there are 20 900
cases of typhoid fever annually in New
York state, with 1000 deaths, involving
total pecuniary loss of $1,000, 900.
Public nuisances frequently exist as
result Of the pollution of streams. The
policy of the department Of health, &C.
cording to DR.. Parker. is that further
pollution OF the streams and lakes must
cease.
1t does not expect to bring this condi-
tion about in day or a year, but 1t
does expect that within compare.
lively short time 1t will be entirely
stopped.

Beet Seed From Germany.

Greeley.-Four carloads of beet seed
arrived few days ago from Germany.
This seed was all grown on German
farms last year, will be distributed to
farmers Of the Greeley district March
18th, and from March 25th to April 1st
will be planted. The seed cost Is
cents a pound.
The Greeley farmers this year will
plant twenty pounds to the acre and
1t is believed replanting will not be
necessary.
Because Weldon valley beets will go
to the Fort Morgan factory, the Gree
ley district has been .redivided and will
be under General Field Superintendent
Timothy. with three assistants at Gree
ley and two at Windsor and Eaton. A
new storage house has been completed
here for the beet seed. The other
warehouses here are used for storage
sugar and now hold 100000 pounds
of sugar.
