Fellow ChuPchmen.

The late Rev. DR.. John Hall was
once walking home from preaching
at Sunday night meeting out in the
country. In the moonlight he saw
a man lying drunk in the gutter, and
going up to him gave him a shake.
"Here!" he said; tits a shame for
a nice, respectable looking man like
you to be lying in the gutter"
The man opened his tipsy eyes and
saw the long, black coat.
"Are you a minister" he asked.
"Yes," said DR.. Hall, come, get

riate.
"Yes." was the answer. somewhat

inheritance Tax Decision.

Dcnyer.-lnheritnncc taxes may be
drawn upon as part Of the general np-
proprintion fund. according to de-
cIsion handed down by Judge George
W, Allen of the District Court In the
case Of the various state institutions
nga!ns, the state treasurer and auditor.
BY this decision the Stratton In.
heritance tax OF $375.000. which has
been held intact, will be split up and
from It Sl1O.6OO be paid to the State
School OF Mines. the Colorado Agri-
cultural college. University OF Colorado
and School for the Deaf and Blind. in
accordance with the appropriations
made at the Last General Assembly.
State Auditor George ID. Statlcr and
State Treasurer Alfred f. Bent have
refused to issue warrants or cash them
because the question Of which fund the
Inheritance taxes shall be classed un-
der has never before been decided and
they feared that by making payments
from It they would become liable un.
der their bonds.
The decision will effect all inheri-
lance taxes, and II upheld they will be
turned into the general appropriation
fund in the future. Attorney General
Dickson has all the time held the opin-
lon that money collected for this pur-
pose could be drawn upon for other
purposes but contested the petition OF
the complaining boards to settle the
legality Of such a course beyond all
dispute.

over 100000 people are employed In

Briefly. the bill provides for the con-.
pulsory reduction within speciheu
period and on uniform scale OF tho
number Of saloon licenses throughout
the country. The number Of saloons 10

density a: the population.
In cities II is proposed to allow one
saloon fos every 100 Inhabitants and In
the country districts one saloon Tor
every 900 persons. This regulation. II
IL estimated. will wipe out In the neigh
,'hood OF 10000 licenses. about one
third Of the present total.
The bill proposes that this reduction
be- effected within twenty years. The
system Of cOmpensatins those entirely
deprived of their licenses is to lapse
after u period OF fourteen years from
the time the act goes into force and
an end will thus be put To the vested
interests In licenses. Local option IL

Denver.-In u public letter Gov. IL.
A. Buchtsl calls for an expression Of
opinion throughout the state In regard
to great journalistic gathering TO be
held In Denver at the close Of the com
ing Democratic national convention In
July. The governor says:
''John Brisben Walker has suggested
the idea OF holding an International
congress OF authors. editors. publish
srs AID pubiicists In Denver after the
close OF the Democratic national con
ventIon. namely from July ltth To July
25th. During the Democratic national
convention reporters will be present
In great numbers from every section OF
the United States. II We could then
bring to Denver a considerable repre-
sentation OF editors and publishers the
advantage to the state would be great.
The owners Of the great papers and
the editors who formulate the policy
of the great papers could do more TO
make Colorado known to the people In
every locality than the reporters who
work under their direction. The topics
TO be considered by the convention
would be such topics as might be
agreed upon among the most conspicu'
Gus editors and publishers Of the coun'
try. II Is probable that they Will con
slider such questions as the conduct ana
ethics OF the. worlds great newspapers
and magazines. and the work OF the
novelist End writer.
''Thc suggestion has been made that
these distinguished people should b.
invited to be the guests OF Colorado for
ten days. from July 18th to 2sth. ], is
proposed that only four sessions OF the
congress should be held and that inter
vening time should be occupied with
visits to Interesting points In the Rocky
mountains. Both the Denver Rio
Grnndc and the Colorado Il Southern
railroads have. expressed their hearty
approval o. the plan. They would pro
vide transportation for these distin'
guishcd gdcsts To any points reached
by their lines. The board of directors
OF the Convention League will nj once
take up the matter to determine
whether IL might be- possible to pro
vide for the entertainment Of these
guests. Invitations would he Issued To
approximately 500 Of the worlds mos
famous authors. publishers and publ
cists.
1--WE might hope to secure nm aitcn.
dance Of 100 of these distinguished
people II We could invite them 70 hc the
guests of the state OF Colorado. The
great conventions TO be held In Den
yer this year ought TO add hundred
thousand people to our population in
the course of the next twelve months.
II We could bring the owners Of the
great newspapers nnd the men who
fix the policies Of the great newspapers
for such convention. II In probable
that this would do as much for us M

pie TO Colorado.

proval or disapproval of holding this
