Election Fraud Resolution.

In conformity with one of the rec
concentrations of Gov. John F. Sha-
froth in his inaugural address, Sen.
Tully Scott offered a resolution call
ing for an investigation of the alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties.
Senator Scott made his resolution
sweeping in its character, and applied
to the political connections of indus
trial corporations in these counties,
meaning, as Governor Shafroth indi-
Gated, the alleged frauds in the coal
camps of the counties. While it per-
mits investigations of the books of the
corporations there, it is not intended
to be an investigation along any other
lines, as Senator Scott stated after it's

Water Commission ailI.

The water commissioner bill pre-

provides that commissioners, being ap.

complained that they had to pay these
officers without the least authority
over them. The bill is one that was
approved by the convention of county
commissioners held early in the year.
another convention is to be held by
the same officers within short time.

Church Advertising.

We do not believe that the average
church can gain much from news
paper advertising. In a large city it
serves one purpose only; it tells
strangers where a preacher known to
them perhaps by reputation may be
heard. The advertising of sermon
topics Is of little value, unless the an
nouncement is coupled with the name
OF preacher of wide and command
ing reputation. Our advice would be
to withhold newspaper advertising un-
til there is something definite and spe-
cial to advertise. When that time
comes, be 1t an anniversary or what
ever, expend upon one days advertis-
ing what you saved by refraining from
constant announcements. In this way,
says w. T. Demarest, In the Homiletic
Review, attention will be attracted
and you will probably see results. The
best advertising Of regular church serv-
Ices can be. done locally in the church's
vicinity. by placard, circular letters,
and personal work.

Bill for Drainage Districts.

An important addition to the irriga-
ton laws of Colorado is embodied in
the bill introduced by Senator Jones,
providing for the creation of drainage
districts. 1t is provided that drain
age district in an agricultural country
may be created to carry off water
from swamps or an overflow.
The county assessment rolls form
sufficient evidence of title to land &C.
cordin5 to the bill, when the petition
for the district is being shaped. No
one but owners of land in the district
may sign, and anyone acquiring title
to land for the purpose Of signing such
petition, shall be violating the law,
and their names will not be counted,
although the petition will not be fnval-
idated If it contains a majority Of
names in the district. The petition
shall be presented to the Board of
County Commissioners of the district,
who shall submit the question at an
election.

A,,eoed Huerfano County Frauds.

In urging his resolution TO appoih.

election frauds in Huerfano ana Has
Apimas counties Senator Scout pio'
duced a letter which, he SAID was
from, a citizen of Huerfano, and
man who has taken part in the couii-
ellis of the state, though refusing W
give his name. o.;on
The letter stated that elec'ioh
frauds had prevailed in Hueriaho anu
Las Animas for eighteen years tha'
while the Colorado Fuel & iron .ohi-
pany owns more than either the hio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail-
road companies, its annual assessment
was based on a valuation OF $5oV'VVo'
while the Rio Grande was assessed Oh
a valuation of 100000 and the ooio-
RADIO & Southern on valuation Oh
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue OF the
coal mines was levied from the agrl-
cultural and business interests, hay
is the largest agricultural crop ana
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer of the product,
it was stated-yet no farmer can find
a market, according to the letter, un-
less he pledges eternal fidelity to the
fuel company. And, further, the iar-
mer cannot get water for his irrigat'
ing purposes unless voting as told
Mexicans, who cannot speak, read or
write the English language, it was
stated, were voted through an inter

In relation to the election fraud res
olution of Senator Scott several Re-
publican senators used very sarcastic
language, declaring that those who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" Senator Wood of Las Ami
mas, stating first that he is a large
shareholder in the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company, said that the people of
that district, and the industrial cor
porations interested there, were tired
of being prosecuted. Governor Shat
roth's remarks in his inaugural ad-
dress in relation to the Huerfano and
Las Animas county elections during
several years past he called the most
contemplate insult ever offered cor
poration by governor of Colorado"
You have either got to prove these
accusations, my Democratic col
leagues" he said, "or be branded as
blackmailers!" Senator Barela also
took exception to the charges in
strong language, and brought forth
much laughter wnen he saio: when
Governor Shafroth was a Republican
he used to say: I don't say that ev-
cry Democrat is horsethief, but do
say that every horsethief is a Demo
crat.' OF all the Republicans in Huer-
fano county he continued, 81 only

National Guard Bill.

Mr.. Strickland, in the House, has
put in an amended copy of the bill
presented two years ago to compel the
organization of the state militia to
conform to the regulations of the
United States army. This bill was de.
feated in the Sixteenth General AS
sembly on the plea that it was pre.
sented for the purpose of legislating
out of office certain of the officers of
the guard, and the plea gained
strength as 1t was found the national
army is not now organized on the
brigade formation" of which army
men speak. Had the proposed law been
enacted, it was stated, the Office of
brigadier general would have been
abolished. Mr.. Strickland has avoided
this objection by providing that all
present officers Of the guard shall hold
their Offices for two years, or until
January Of 1910.

more popular respect and affection
than Cervera, whose life as a prisoner

Comparisons are proverbially odious
when applied to persons; they are fire.
quently misleading, especially II they
deal with part only Of the facts, when
applied to other matters. For exam
pie, here is the question of the compar-
ative cost of keeping horse and of
running an automobile. A gentleman
who prides himself on driving "single
cylinder" declares that when he kept q
horse and trap he spent upon 1t fully
$500 year. Most of the money was
paid to servant; for, he adds, "a
groom Is, of course, essential, as one
can scarcely look after horse one
SELF" After he bought an automobile,
he estimated his heaviest expense as
tires. $50; his next largest, gasoline,
$40. and his total annual outlay as only
a trifle above 5000. During the year
for which figures are given. he Travelled
some 5000 miles, and found that 1t
cost him on an average less than four
cents mile. Il looked after the ma
chine myself, entirely" he says. The
question that the situation suggests Is,
Why not deduct from the six hundred
spent on the horse and trap the cost
of the man who took care of them, or
why not add the expense of chauffeur
to the cost Of running the automobile?
