Denver Auditorium Opening.

Denver.-Denver's magnificent new
auditorium was formally thrown open
to the public Sunday night. The ded-
ication features was musical, and
about 1000 persons gathered there at
s o'clock, drawn by the two-fold de-
sire of hearing the music and of seeing
for the first time the splendid building
in gala trim for the national Democrat
ic convention. The concert developed
beyond n doubt that the auditorium
has unsurpassed acoustic qualities.

Bryan Sure Of Nomination.

Denver.-The News, Monday morn

decorations were even more pictur-
esque. and the illumination scheme
was the most brilliant Denver ever at
tempted
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets. three of the main
thoroughfares in the city. were reve-
lations in color. On Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets there are eight iron
ornamental electric poles to block.
four on each side Of the street. On
these streets the poles were draped
with red. white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted" to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley.
At each crossing two wires were
strung diagonally across the intersec'
ton. from which red, white and blue
incandescent lights hung. The busi'
ness houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost
ly electric display signs had been
nut in place on the buildings. and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were blaze OF light.
Electric display signs are one OF
the main features Of business life IN
Denver, Every merchant has an elec-
trio sign. and as all of the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets. the
committee on illumination did not find
It necessary to add much In the way
of light to these avenues OF trade.
However, the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags. SO the entire business sec
ton of Denver was a mass OF color
when the big convention opened.
The people of Denver in addition to
decorating their city and providing
beautiful and commodious auditorium
for the Democratic national conven-
ton, seemed determined to convince
every visitor that true western hos
pitality Ia not thing OF the past IN
this city. The real Denverite is hos
pitable because hospitality is In the

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL
SHOW.

The students of the Mechanical and
Electical department of the college
will give an Electrical and Mechanical
show during the week of the conven-
tion oe the Inland Empire Teachers
Association. This will be the first
attempt of this kind west of the Miss
issippi. The students of the depart
ment realize that this is a great OPP
portunity to advance the interest of
both the college and their department
and are determined to make the best
of it. 1t is an opportunity to send
some thousand or more teachers back
to their schools to talk about a depart
ment of the college with which they
usually have little opportunity of be-
coming acquainted. The chief aim of
the show will be educational This,
however, does not mean that it will
be for the information of electrical
and mechanical engineers. but that it
is intended for the benefit of the gen.
eral public. While the show will be
educational in nature the fact that ell
ectricity lends itself so we'll to spec
tacular display will be taken advant-
age of. The students of the depart
ment have great deal of work before
them.

Waking the Baby.

A mother pacing the floor OF room
adjoining the nursery where lay rNr
sleeping babe was driven to the verge
of frenzy by sudden and all but horri-
fying news that momentarily dethroned
her reason. The strain unless arrested
would, 1t seemed, completely wreck
fine mind, and yet the news was but
half true, and the most alarming part
was untrue Then a woman caller
experienced in the psychology of moth
erhood. called to the nurse, Wake
the baby" 1t was done, and the crisis
ended. That little trouble on the heart
for Of course the child cried and call
ed its mamma-instantly doomed great
err than the mountain on the mind. No
argument is required to demonstrate
that this country has passed through
an ordeal that threatened to paralyze
all forms of activity. The public was
stunned and although there have been
lookouts to say that the alarm and
anxiety were needless, the aftermath
of the disturbance is developing growth
every day. And the monitors who
would speak the word to charm away
the spell do so with discordant voices.
Some say the trouble was due to
scarcity of currency, others that the
stability of the banks of deposit was
questioned and people rushed for their
money, thus creating the very evil they
feared. On the one hand we are told
that boarding tied up the money and
on the other that we have been scatter
ing with q reckless hand. Again, 1t Is
said that capital has lost its purchas-
ing power" All theories cannot be
right, and for the average man the at
tempt to locate the exact seat of the
evil would mean to knock reason from
its pedestal. Luckily there is baby
to awaken and the tension can be
eased up. When confusion comes over
the ranks of the army, the order is
"As you were!'-that is, get back to
first principles and start in again. The
thing nearest at hand is of first i'm
portance. The woodman has his wood
to saw, the little banker his own con-
Germ to clean up" The merchant has
small accounts to collect and small OBJ
legations to meet. Every man of IL
fairs can tackle some end of the finan-
cial problem lying at his own door, and
in this way everybody will be too busy
to see trouble where none exists and
also get we'll braced for whatever
modicum Of real trouble may have to
be met We reached the summit of
prosperity" from small beginnings,
and now steady pegging away will take
us as far along that road again as 1t Is
sensible to go.

State Railroad MANAGEMENT.

After experimenting two years with
a system of government control of
state railways through the minister of
labor the italian government now pro-
poses to place the details of manage
ment in the hands of a commission
The state railways of Italy have a
mileage of 1900 miles and comprise
the more important lines of travel In
the kingdom. OF recent years labor
troubles have complicated the manage
ment of all the railroads in Italy, and
the direct supervision Of the lines will
remain under the minister of labor,
who will choose the commission and
name its presiding officer. In England
the most strenuous voice heard in IA
vor of the naturalization of railways
Is the voice of the Labor party.
Recent events at home have shown
the people of this country what a
complicated problem the railroads pre-
sent, The experience of foreign coun-
tries is sometimes cited as an argu-
ment for the state ownership Of rail-
ways, and the fact Is that the United
States has a greater mileage than all
Europe combined. Within the past
two years more miles of railway have
been constructed here than the whole
of Italy, both in government and pri-
vate lines, possesses. Great Britain has
only about one-tenth of the total mile
age of the United States.
