University Medica, School.

An entire unity of feeling was shown
by both Republican and Democratic
senators in passing for it's second read
ing Senator Casady's bill for the es.
tablishment of medical school of the
University of Colorado at Denver, en-
bracing the first two years of the medi
cal course. Senator Burger moved the
passage of the bill to third reading I'M
der suspension of the rules. and the
motion was unanimously carried
Among the senators it is said that for
mer Gov. H. A. Buchtel insured it's pas
sage when he devoted a large part of
his outgoing message to a comparison
of Denver University and the State
University at Boulder much to the lat
ter institutions detriment He was,
they declare, an active opponent of the
establishment of the State University
medical school in Denver, because II
would compete with the Denver school,
but his message caused many senators
to vote for the change.

Exemption Repeal Killed.

In the House there was considerable
talk on Mr. Greenmans bill to repeal
the law, enacted two years ago, to eX-
empt from taxation residence property
belonging to church societies. Mr..
Greenman declared the law to be
invalid and unconstitutional, and that
his only motive in asking the repeal
was to cut dead wood out of the stat.
utes. Mr.. Helbig stated that the law had
been passed merely as convenience
or excuse for assessors. They had been,
he said, neglecting TO assess these resi-
dences, and the law was made that
they might have legislative sanction.
The whole question of church exemp-
tion was pretty well hashed over, pro
and con, after which the enacting
clause of the bill was stricken out.

Commegcial Association has prepared

immigration, which has received the
approval of the different commercial
organizations. 1t provides for board
of three to be appointed by the COVER

time determine, and to publish the
same with view to attracting health

pective settlers to the state; to prepare
and cause to be circulated books, PAM
phlets, leaflets and other literature,
illustrated or otherwise, regarding
Colorado and the various localities of

celebrated palmist, mind reader

those who were weak in the second
story has decamped from Paris, taking
with him, to show that he was a
thoughtful man, the fortunes of two
confiding young women as well as
what small change he could pick up.
Eternal vigilance on the part of the
police will not keep some persons from
giving their money to crooks and ia
kers whose only excuse for getting it
is that they appear to want it. A curly
mustache, dark rolling eye and an
office fitted up with few charts of the
stars is all the capital needed to make
living by the man who is on. He
doesn't have to know much of any
thing except human nature. With
general understanding of that and of
the desire of the owner of the human
nature to give away his or her money,
the wonder worker gazes into the fu-
ture and sees nothing but lfe of ease
Tor himself. In his own case his pre-
diction comes nearer panning out than
do many predictions that he sells to

Proposed Election Law CHANCES.

Reforms in a number of the laws
governing elections are contemplated

Helbig. One provides that judges of
elections in adjoining precincts must
alternate in party control. That is. if

Ski-Riding Now in Vogue.

Norwegian ski-riding, or ski-jumpine
as 1t is popularity termed in America,
is manly and healthful sport which,
in the northwest at least, has come to
stay. The ski in this country are usu-
ally made of birch, ash, or hickory, as
pine or soft wood ski prove very ex-
pensive articles; they break easily and
may be the cause of serious accidents.
Birch makes very good ski, possibly
the best for ladies'. as it is lighter than
the wood used by the professional
rider, namely. hickory. The white ash
is used mostly by boys, as it is more
durable than birch and less expensive
than hickory. The jumping ski, says
Recreation, should be as long as the
height Of the man plus the distance he
can reach with extended arms over.
head,usually ~ to Sk feet. The ski
for distance travelling are usually
longer. They weigh from seven to
eight pounds each, heavier ski being
rather better for jumping.

PRESIDENT IS
MUCH WORRIED
FEARS CALIFORNIA AGITATION
WILL AFFECT NEGOTIATIONS
WITH JAPAN.
Nevada ADDS TROUBLE
GREAT SHIPPING CORPORATIONS
COME IN FOR BLAME IN
THE MATTER.

Washington.-No single question,
nor group of questions, is absorbing
the interest and concern of the admin
istration at this moment to the same
extent as certain of the phases of the
anti-Japanese agitation in California.
The President has been in commune
cation with many reputable persons
who should be thoroughly informed as
to the conditions on the Pacific coast.
The following views of the situation
are from semi-official source and are
said to represent fairly we'll the views
of the President:
1t is admitted that a systematic agi-
tation is in progress on the coast, but
a significant feature of its lack of
strength is the fact that the labor lead
ers have taken no prominent part in
it.
1t even has been stated to the admin
istration that the real handspring of
the agitation is to be found in some of
the great corporations that found their
profitable business of cooie transpor
tation threatened with destruction by
the success of the administration to
stop this class of immigration. For
the fact is, in the opinion of the ad-
ministration. that the negotiations
with Japan for a practically complete
closure of American ports to the entry
of Japanese laborers are certainly jeo-
pardized by the extreme utterances of
certain persons in California and by
the mere consideration of such resolu-
tions as were entertained yesterday
by the Nevada Legislature. Even
agreements already reached, which
are being carried out in perfect good
faith on the part of the Japanese gov
ernment, are regarded as endangered,
in the sense that the present agitation
might very naturally tend to abate the
interest of the Japanese officials in
the execution of their obligations
in view of the unfrien.lly attitude as
sumed by some elements on the Pa
cific coast
1t is these considerations that have
influenced the President in concluding
that everything possible should be
done to prevent legislation by any
state that would discriminate against
the Japanese as a class apart from
other foreign elements entering Amer
lea.
There is no objection whateyer by
the administration to the laws prohib-
iting all aliens from holding land in
America. For this is now, under the
revised statutes. the law in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories
and some of the states. Indeed, there
is similar law in Japan and the gov
ernment of that country consequently
could not regard it as anti-Japanese
legislation if adopted in California.
The President has entire confidence
in the people of the Pacific coast and
is certain they will do right in this
matter

Trust Cannot Collect Debts.

Washington.-The case Of the Cont
mental Wallpaper Company vs.. Lewis
Voight & Sons OF Cincinnati has been
decided by the Supreme Court OF the
United States in Voight's favor. The
suit was brought by the company on
debt Of 100000, the payment of which
was resisted on the ground that the
paper company is trust. In effect the
decision holds that admitted trust, or
ganized contrary to the Sherman anti
trust law, cannot use the court to col
lect debts.

Good Roads Bill Endorsed.

The proposed good roads measure
for this state has received the indorse-
ment of the State Association of Coun-
ty Commissioners and the Colorado
grange, two of the most prominent
bodies in the state. The bill does not
seek to take away from the county
commissioners any of the authority
that they have at present in the work
of road building, but instead aims by
reason Of the creation of the state high
way commission to aid In the road
construction throughout the state, and
to secure some system OF uniformity
in the work now being done by the
several counties.

A supreme court judge in Brooklyn
set aside a will under unusual circum-
stances. The testator had directed
his property to be invested and the In.
come devoted to the care of his burial
lot. The judge ordered the estate to
be distributed among his Immediate
heirs on the ground that so purely a
selfish disposition of property was too
much opposed to public policy and
duty to humanity to permit. The needs
of the living, he said. were paramount
10 the claims of the dead. This sounds
like the sound plain sense on which
law Is supposed to be based, remarks
the Boston Herald. The man who still
monopolizes his property even after
death should have such post mortem
power Of absorption taken by the law.

A BUSY Office.

When the third assistant postmaster
general makes his annual report to his
chief, the introduction reads like the
list of titles of an Oriental potentate,
for 1t summarizes the subjects with
which that office has to do. Here are
just few of them: The classification
OF domestic mail-matter, including the
determination of the admissibility of
publications to the second-class rates,
the hearing of cases involving the
withdrawal Of those rates, use of pen
atty envelopes, and the franking priv
ilege, questions involving limit of
weight, the financial system-and this
in itself is an enormous business-the
supervision of the manufacture of
stamps, stamp-books, stamped envel-
opes, newspaper wrappers and postal
cards, money-order and registry sys-
tenn. This year the deficit of the de-
partment is the largest yet-nearly
$17,000,000. The most of the increase
over last year is due to the action of
congress in raising the salaries of post
masters and other employees of the de-
partment and the rest to the extension
of postal facilities. The constant study
to bring the department into closer
touch with the people, remarks the
Youths Companion, is shown in nu-
merous little things mentioned in the
report, for example, new postal cards,
with space for message on the address
side; changes in stamped envelopes
which will permit choice of paper by
the purchaser, and the printing Of ad-
vertising matter upon them; permis-
sion to perforate postage stamps for
purposes Of identification. This has
hitherto been withheld, but is granted
now partly because SO many office boys
steal stamps-a curious commentary
on the class of boys who are entering
business.
