Comments On Expensive Clothing BY
the City Mans Father.

A man from an oldfashioned Mis-
souri, town came to Kansas City re-
Gently to visit his son. says the Kan
sas City Times. While on a street car
one day a strong breeze removed the
young mans straw hat. 1t landed in .
pool of muddy water.
-Four dollars gone said the young
man.
His father whistled. DO you pay
four dollars for a straw hat?" he in
Quired.
Always have done it, was the an
swer.
It's the extravagant age" COM
mented the father. Il never paid more
than dollar for straw hat in my
hfe. And recall the day when you
only paid so cents for yours. Russell
Sage once said that a man who gave
more than that for straw ha, was .
fool"
Il know. father: but everything
costs more now. We wear better hats,
too. The price Of hat is not out of
proportion to the cost Of other things.
l pay Is cents for my collar, one dollar
for tie. $3.50 for n shirt, so cents for
a pair Of socks. Ave dollars for a pair
Of shoes, $40 for suit Of clothes and
six dollars for underwear With the
hat that brings my personal apparel
up TO about $50 for a set. That's NO
more than any man who pretends to
dress pays"
Father was silent for long time.
Son" he said finally, Il remember
when so cents was the value Of your
entire wardrobe. Your hickory hat
cost nickel. your shirt waist quar-.
ter and your pants the some amount.
You wore only the three garments in
summer. And you were Just as happy
then As now"

In a messase to the Legislature OF
Colorado Governor ShsfrOth urges the
Dsnocratic pseabsrs either TO redeein
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats.
The message follows:
March 90. 1899.
ITO the Members Of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
''Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history OF
Colorado has been placed in power In
all Of the branches Of the state gov
eminent. We as Its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained In our platform. The
principles contained In these pledges
in the party's judgment. rs ratified by
the people. are essential to good gov
eminent. II we fail to perform the du'
ties Entrusted to US by the people In
an honest. direct. inevasive manner.
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day Of opportunity.
Il stated In my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy
days of this session have been con
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded As sacred or deceptive devices
to gain power. To cOncede that pub
lie official may wilfully evade. or open
ly violate a pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election. Is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
eminent. have tried by arguing. coax
ing and begging to induce most OF
these lecalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature Of even
one of them I have waited day after
day. until patience has ceased to be a
virtue.
IF any member. since the election
has changed his mind as to these
measures and has conscientious scru
Piles against voting for the same. he
should resign his seat now. II he will
not resign, then the party in each
county having such member should
meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
In the full two weeks remaining OF
this session, you still have time to en-
act into law these reforms. I wish to
warn you that II these party pledges
these contracts Of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with, expect to
call an extra session OF the General
Assembly and shall expect the peo
pie of this state to hold these oppos
ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHAFROTH.

have heard layman utter this petition

proceeded to translate 1t. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con.
siderable dimculty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies quar-
tor Of an hour, but long before this Pc
Rod had been reached he was wound

words: And now. o Lord. will re-
