Temperance Notes.

Can human life be valued i'm dollars
aud cents? Will all the revenue
Dolores has received In the past or will
receive in the future from saloon license
pay what the saloon has cost her with
in the past year? Don't let your pre-
judice, one way or the other, make you
hasty in answering these questions,
but give them little thoughtful con-
sideratiOn.
The "anti-saloon" law does not af-
feet the power of a town council or
board of town trustees in dealing with
saloons. They can raise the license or
refuse to grant license at any time q
majority see fit to do SO.
Whiskey is getting into trouble all
over the country. Glad of it, it has
always made trouble for other people.
-Ouray Plaindealer.
There Is a great deal of talk about
the regulated saloon, but who ever saw
a saloon regulated so as to obey the law?

ELECTION.

Tuesday is election day in the
Town Of Dolores and all citizens
should avail themselves of the op-
portunity of voting. There are
two tickets in the field, the Citi-
zens' Ticket and the Democratic
Ticket. The Citizens ticket is
pledged to uphold the wish of the
people, as expressed at last Novem-
ber's election, to make precinct No.
3 anti-saloon territory by refusing
to grant saloon license in the Town
of Dolores. The Democratic ticket
has made no public pledge but, the
fact that there are two prominent
Republicans on it and party lines
cut no figure, we are led to believe
it is for an open town and the contin-
uation of the present policy of law
and order. Here you have the
whole matter in a nut shell. Go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote
for your choice of principle by cast
ing your ballot straight for one or
the other of these tickets. No
good can be accomplished by
scratching your ballot at this cleo
tiOn.

PRESIDENT Taft's cabinet is
strong on law and it is suspected
that he knows some law himself.
1t is said the new President will
make his own policies and that his
cabinet will act as general council
to the administration. It is believ-
ed that it will be in a way quite as
much a one-man affair as was that
of the last President, but on diff
erent plan. The President knows
what he wants to do. He has some
very clear ideas as stated in his in
augural address and the eminent
legal lights with which he has sur
rounded himself insures as good
advice as the country can afford

MAN HELD FOR MURDER
is OUT ON BAIL
Released After Thorough Con-
Sideration of Evidence

William A. Stein, who killed his
brother in law, Edward Livermore, Sep
tember 3, was released from Jail by
Superior Judge Cabaniss yesterday
when a $4,000 bail bond was furnished
by friends.
While Stein is booked for murder,
pending preliminary examination in the
police court, the coroner's jury returned
a verdict of manslaughter in the Liv-
ermore inquest. 1t was the belief
that the evidence will not warrant the
charge of a higher crime that caused
Judge Cabaniss to grant the motion
for bail. The judge says he went into
the evidence thoroughly before making
the order.
While there are no witnesses of the
murder. Stein convinced the coroner S
jury that his crime was justifiable. His
sister died under circumstances that
gave him cause for bitterness against
her husband. But the killing itself
grew out of a quarrel over her estate.
STEMS bondsmen are Horatio Law

AGED DEAF MUTE DIES
THROUGH LACK OF SPEECH
Unable to Call for Help Before
Overcome by Gas

On the records of the morgue there
was written yesterday afternoon the
story of an aged woman who died be-
cause the fate that had robbed her of
speech created circumstances in which
only speech could have saved her
life. She was found dead in bed in a
lodging house at 479 Third street, with
gas escaping from the jet. Her fden-
tity is unknown.
1t developed after the finding of the
body that one of the dodgers in pass
ing her room late Wednesday night
heard weird and uncanny noises. He
attributed them to coughing and did
not investigate, thinking that the ne
culiarity of the coughing was due to
the fact that she was dumb. She was
also deaf.
Doctor Clark's autopsy showed that
the woman, who was about 20 years of
age, had probably died only a short
time after the noises were heard, and
the police believe that the peculiar
sounds were her cries for help. ut
tered just before she sank into un-
consciousness.

LAWYER WHO VANISHED
IS NOW LEGALLY DEAD
Widow of Charles II. Moore
Gets $1,000 Insurance Money

In Is years the mystery that cloaks
the fate of Charles H. Moore, once a
prominent attorney in this city and
member of the firm of Cobb & Moore.
has not been lifted, and yesterday he
was declared legally dead by Judge
Graham. His widow, Mrs. Alvina
Moore, was appointed Administrative
of his estate. This consists chiefly of
an insurance policy for $4,000 in the
Mutual insurance company, which
amount will be paid the widow.
Moore was living with his wife in
1888 at their home at the corner of
Hyde and O'Farrell streets, when one
morning he started for work, but
failed to appear at the office. Nothing
was heard of him until 1891 when he
wrote his wife from Paris that he was
in a hospital suffering from a mortal
disease. and asking for 5000. Mrs.
Moore told the court In her testimony
yesterday that she did not send her
husband the money he asked because
she did not have 1t.
No further communication was re-
ceived from Moore. His brothers and
the insurance company made inquiries
regarding him without getting any
news. 1t is presumed he died in Paris.

COFFEY ASKS DAMAGES
FROM JUDGE DUNNE
Convicted Supervisor Thinks
He Should Have $500

The district court of appeal issued a
writ of mandate yesterday ordering
Judge Dunno to sign the charge given
the jury in the case of Michael Cof-
fey, the convicted supervisor. Attor-
ney Carroll Cook, representing Cof-
fey, had requested Judge Dunno to
affix his signature to the charge pre-
lininary to the appeal to the higher
court Judge Dunno held that his
formal signature was not necessary.
Cook then took the matter to the
district court and the order was ac-
cordingly issued.
At the same time that Cook asked
for the writ OF mandate he applied for
$500 damages against Judge Dunno on
behalf of his client. He alleged that
Coffey had been put to an additional
expense of $500 for attorneys fees in
the proceedings over the jury charge
