Denver.-That commercial honor
Ii not growing very much better In
this section OF the country is evidenced
by the action taken by tho Denver

meeting when members OF that organ.
Ization. In conjunction with jobbers at
Pueblo. Colorado Springs. Trinidad
and other important towns OF the
state pledged cash fund Of 100000
to be used for the purpose OF investi'
eating causes Of alleged fraud on the
part OF retail merchants In this trade
territory. and to prosecute relentiessly
every case In which dishonesty is dis
covered. An officer of the association
states that this action on the part OF
the Wholesale interests OF the state.
has been made necessary by the prac-
tice frequently induiScd In by unprin.
cipied retailers. OF making false state
mcnts. obtaining goods through mis-
representation and fIctitiously and
frauduicntly disposInE Of their stocks
OF merchandise In bulk. thus leaving
trusting creditors to whistle for their
money.
Comparatively few people are aware
that tho Legislature enacted n law
five years ago. governing the sale Of
all. or n portion OF. stock OF mer.
chandise out OF tho usual course OF
business. Failure TO comply with this
law Is prima facic evidence thnt tho
sale was fraudulent and void as
against the creditors OF tho seller. In
order for tho purchaser TO secure u
clear tito under the bulk sale law. IL
ss necessary for him to take nm invcn.

summntcd. give notice TO all Of tho
creditors OF tho seller. OF his Intention
To purchase tho stock In question. to.
.cthcr with the cost price. and tho
price to bc paid for tho merchandise.
An officer Of the Denver Credit Mems
Association states that this law has
keen upheld by the Colorado courts.
and that credit men arc rejoicing that
they now have some legal and prac.
ticai means OF bringing 10 Justice that

To Acquire or.essulnsss.

Have you ever noticed the great
amount of admiring attention whict
the graceful girl attracts? Even al
though she may he only plain or mod.
erately good-looking. and not prettily
nr smartiy dressed. there is an air OF
natural superiority about her which
forces her upon our notice. This su.
periority. OF course. lies In the fact
that tho graceful girl knows how to
correctly poise her body: how to walk
and sit becominsly. and consequently.
no matter what she wears or what her
features may be like. she always ap-
pears to the best advantage. A plain
girl who knows how to stand. move.
and sit with ease. is far more admired
than the beauty who is clumsy and
awkward. Some girls. OF course. are
naturally graceful. But there IL NO
reason why those who are lacking In
this respect should not add to their
charms by carefully cultivatins tho

Is quite within her own power to ac-

may avoid them. Do not try to copy

Not, as rule, are the regulation addresses delivered by notables on festal occasions before Colleges or Universities, at all original, or in any way worthy of note. As a rule there is in such addresses a formal stiffness and an odor of mustiness to conform with their surroundings. A notable exception to the rule was the address delivered at University Col lege, London, by Baron Kikuchi of Japan. The Baron advised his coun- trymen to abolish their own and adopt the English language. In all the speeches made, and articles writ ten, and inventions schemed in favor of an international language, the Baron's suggestion is the first step and the longest step taken in the right direction.
 Strange as it may seem, the schemes to establish an international language -Volapuk, Esperanto, or what not by manufacture has found ardent re. sponse among Socialists. This is strange because better things should be expected from Socialist minds, accustomed as these presumably are to the thought of evolution. The bourgeois reformsr, the AnArchist, and all such imagine society can be improved by schemes. They ignore the evolutionary process; in other words, they ignore facts and adjust these to their fancies. That such folks should be blind to the facts essential to the structure of a lang uage, and should buckle down to fabricate new one is nothing strange. They know naught of the evolution that underlies language. It should be otherwise with the Social ist Habituated to the evolutionary thought he is the last man with whom 60 rattle Drained a notion as the man. ufacture of language should be ex- pected to take lodgment. The scien- tific habits of thought the Socialist has presumably acquired, and which cause him to reject all "schemes" for social Improvements, should be enough to open his eyes to the fact

 The capitalist class, through prat- ing of democratic rule, show by theil acts that they believe in class rule.
