Some people take, or try to take,
liberties with a newspaper that they
would not think of taking with any
other line of business. Last week we
received a large box of half page
cuts of coffe advertisements and the
concern sending them, instructed US
to run the advertisements and nam
ed the price which we should charge.
Who ever heard Of anyone going into
grocery store and getting a sack
OF flour worth 5000 and offering a
50-cent piece in payment, or debating
to the grocer what price he should
charge? 1t Is on the same principle.
Well, we are not handling the adver-
Using and will not stand for the ad-
vertiser debating the price to be
charged.

Maybe the postmaster general
wants to raise the rates on second

change to put in the postal savings

that magazines that can pay a dollar

afford to pay additional postage.

Blaming the weather for occurrences
and happenings that don't suit your
desires or fancies is on a par with
telling your troubles to a policeman.
The Register-Call attributes the Re-
publican defeat in the city election
to the fair weather which prevailed
on Tuesday of last week. From this
we are to regard good weather as
Democratic weather. Everything good
seems to be with the Democrats.

A Denver paper Sunday said that
financial arrangement s had teen n ade
for the driving Of the six-mile tun-
mel on the Moffat road through James
Peak; also that line was to be run
from Kremmling to Dotsero, on the
Rio Grande, to connect the two roads.
Now if this information came from
yer papers we would feel inclined to
place some credence in it. But as
these papers have sold the Moffat
road 10 less than fourteen times and
the original company still retains
ownership. we look upon this recent
announcement as merely another in
stallment of hot-air.

OUT FOR REFORMS.
Many Included in Live Stock Associa-
ton Resolutions.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 12.-Many gov
ernmental reforms are demanded in
resolutions presented to the National
Live Stock association for adoption
today.
Railroad rate legislation formed the
basis of the morning discussion. The
granting of power to the interstate
commerce commission to review
classifications, to annul changes in
regulations and to institute proceed
ingS on its own motion as recommend
ed by President Taft are favored
but the resolution opposes the ap-
pointment of an interstate commerce
court.
The Pinchot administration of the
forest service is endorsed in the reso-
lutions and recommendations are
made for a lease law governing the
use of public lands for grazing. The
resolutions also favor the continuation
of the fight against free hides

ed railroad rate legislation and the at
titude of the government toward rail-
roads, James Callan, president of the

Catcher Archer

What makes Archer's rise the more
remarkable is the fact that he had
previously been turned back to the
minors by no less a judge of players
than Hughey Jennings of the Detroit
Tigers.
Dame Fortune has used Archer
hard, but she made him a success
About five years ago Jimmy was an
outfielder for Atlanta in the Southern
league. He covered ground and field
ed well, but with the bat Jimmy was
a joke. Atlanta tried to peddle him.
There was nothing doing. One day
field and told to catch. st never caught
a game in my life said Archer TRY
it, was his managers answer He
did and made good
Finally he landed in the big leagues
as backstop, but was turned back to
the Southern outfit Then Detroit
grabbed him. Hughey Jennings looked
Archer over. He could catch and he
could throw but he threw fIatfooted.
Jennings tried to have him take the
usual catcher's step, then peg to the
bases But not for Jimmy-he could
MT get the ball to the base that way.
Back he went to the Eastern for the
season of 1908, to be drafted by the
Cubs in the fall. He made good from
the start last spring. Chance let him
throw naturally, SO Archer took to
pegging out National league runners
while squatting behind the bat. He
could throw better this way than
standing up, and Chance was satisfied
Next spring will see Archer looked
upon as one of the greatest catchers
IN the game Rather different than
one year before

How the High school Students There
Dodge the Regulation.

Lawrence. Kan, Jan. 12.-The high
school lads who belong to the fraterni-
ties are having lots of fun these days
boasting that they always have run,
that they are running and that they al
ways will run. They claim that there
are enough technicalities in their case
to protect the from determination.
Can't those who have gotten out of
high school keep the organization going
and can't they invite the members in
the high school to all their meetings?
Then suppose they change the names
of the fraternity and call it club and
go ahead with all their social and fra
ternity functions? Well these are some
of the makeshifts behind which the
high school fraternities are seeking
shelter. One of the best known mem
bers of one of the fraternities said to-
day that his fraternity always had run,
always would run and he would like to
see the school board put them out Of
business.
Next Friday the Delta Omicron Omi-
cron fraternity will give a party. There
viii be one man there not member of
the organization, but why not keep up
appearance? Both the high school fra
ternities that are now running will give
spring parties this year.

How Catcher Archer of Cubs Made
Good After Several Failures.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-One of the most
interesting figures in the baseball
world today is Jimmy Archer. the star
catcher Of the Chicago Nationals Last
spring there weren't many fans who
would have picked Archer to become
recognized as one of the best in the
big leagues, being ranked second to
George Gibson of the Pirates. But the
season of 1909 was Archer's opportun-
ity, with Johnny King out of the
game, and Jimmy took it, catching an
article of ball that made Cub follow
ers forget something of the great
Johnny If it hadn't been for Archer
the plaster would have been tumbling
around Murphy's ears in slathers for
not coming to terms with the great
backstop. But Archer got away with
it and SplendidlY.

A Star That Winks.

There is in the constellation Peg
asus a little, variable star that may
reasonably be said to wink. Two or
three times in the course of a single
night this curious star can be seen to
fade and then to brighten like a sig
nal light. For about two and three
quarter hours it becomes fainter and
fainter; then comes a change, and at
the end of two and three-quarter
hours more it is as bright as at the
beginning. Unfortunately it can be
seen only with a telescope. Yet it
ranks as a sun.-Harper's Weekly.

IN NONPARTISAN VOTE
Boston Again Elects Fitzgerald,
Democrat, to the Mayoralty.

Boston, Jan. 12.-Boston, in the first
partyless election held under new
charter, elected former Mayor John F.
Fitzgerald to again fill the mayors
chair, this time for a four year term,
giving him 46e6S votes and a plurality
of 1928 over his nearest opponent, Jas.
J. Storrow, banker, former president of
the chamber of commerce, and former
chairman of the school board.
The most remarkable feature of the
election to many was the small vote OF
1888 given to the present mayor, Geo.
A Hibbard who received IS, 900 votes
two years ago, being elected on a re
form ticket over Fitzgerald. The
fourth mayOralty aspirant, Nathaniel
H. Taylor. found only 629 supporters.
The campaign. noteworthy in many
ways. was easily Boston's greatest, a
record total vote more than "a per cent
of the total registration was cast.
Mr.. Fitzgerald won his victory in
spite of the fact that not one of the
daily newspapers of the city advo-
Gated his election He based his cam
previous term in office having been
conspicuous for the exposure, by the
finance commission of graft among a
number of his subordinates in city
hall. Like Mr.. Storrow he is a Demo-
crat in national politics. Under the
provisions of the new charter the bal
lots bore no party designations, but
only the candidates names and street
addresses.
The campaign was probably the cost
lest ever waged in Boston. Page after
page in the newspapers was bought for
signed advertisements lauding the vari-
Gus candidates and the city was plas-
tered with posters. Scores of halls
were hired for rallies and expensive
headquarters were maintained by the
Leading candid ties in each of the 25
