CONVENIENT Manual

One of the most convenient manuals
ever issued from the press has just
been published by The Smith-Brooks
Printing Company of Denver. 1t is
entitled "Colorado Corporations, and
is digest of the corporation laws ofthe
state by r. S. Morrison and E. D. De
Soto, authors of the well-known volume
entitled "Morrison's Mining Rights. ;"
The laws of Colorado relating to cor
porations have been enacted at various
times and for the purpose of meeting
conditions as they arose. Naturally
they are more or less obscure and in
consistent, if not actually conflicting
Even lawyers find some difficulty in
interpreting them and the ordinary
business man will be at sea if he under
takes to draw up his papers and do his
business by consulting the Revised
Statutes. In this little volume the
law is stated so plainly and simply that
any ordinary layman can find out how
to form a company, draw up its ar
ticles of incorporation and conduct its
business without further advice.
The book will be indispensable to at
torneys, by reason of the collation.
of court decisions. The Interpretation
of the law is as important as its enact
ment. and this book gives the acts
and the court decisions together, so
that the exact effect of any particular
law is at once evident. 1t is most
valuable handbook. The retail price is
two dollars.

Local Boy Gains Honors

The Denver Times of Wednesday
contains an excellent picture of. Her
man Weinberger who was chosen with
two others to represent Colorado uni
versity in a debate with representatives
of the Kansas university, the contest
to take place at Lawrence, Kansas,
next month.
The subject to be debated will be
the ship subsidy question, and the men
who seek to win the laurels for
Colorado We're chosen from number
of candidates after series of debates
among the various classes
To represent their university in an
interstate debate is an honor that is
eagerly sought by the members of the
student body and this intellectual con-
test is the chief event of the year The
men who will debate for Colorado have
been active in the social and athletic
life of the university and are popular
with their class mates
1t is probable that the debaters will
be accompanied to Kansas by large
number of enthusiastic supporters.
The ship subsidy subject is one that
created several controversies in congress
and one that is of widespread interest
as well wide divergence of opinion
AS in past years judges of the contest
will be chosen from among prominent
men in professional life.
