FAITH IN THE PASSAGE OF RE.
FORMS

If Charles Ward, chairman of the
democratic state central committee,
be quoted correctly. he is not In the
least skeptical concerning the pas
sage of the initiative and referen-
dunn, the direct primary and the
other laws which will be submitted
to the legislators of Colorado in a
special session which is to begin on
Tuesday next.
There is no doubt but that the
representatives of the people are
we'll aware of the popular demands
In the matter of the laws which were
promised the state and which were
side tracked through the efforts OF
those politicians whose Offices are
held on such doubtful right that
they fear the direct power Of the
people over them. . power which
might be exerted at any time.
That a fight will be made there
can be no doubt. 1t may be that the
machine will be strong enough to
effect a compromise. But this will
not satisfy the people. They have
demanded the reforms. they have
been promised them. and either
democracy must keep her promises
or give way to another party at the
next election.
1t il in realization Of this fact that
the prominent and reputable lead
err of democracy in the state have
come together on the proposition on
the side of the people.
Democracy must make good or go
to the scrap heap with the other po-
litical rubbish of this state. The
people have not time to go from
every portion of Colorado to the
capital building next Tuesday and
camp there until the extra session
IL at An end.
They have a right to demand that
the promises which were made to
them be kept without any such ac-
ton. but the eyes of the entire state.
from the smallest mountain hamlet
to the capital city will be on the leg
islators next Tuesday to see how
every man plays the game and whe-
ther he shall play 1t on the side Of
the interests or of the people.

ANOTHER REPORT MADE
BY DENVER RESERVOIR
LaSalle, Aug. SIN letters re-

ceived here officers of the Denver
Reservoir & Irrigation company de-
clare that the company will settle
all its accounts with contractors and
sub-contractors by the fifteenth OF
the month, expecting to have $780,
900 in the treasury by that time and
will then Immediately resume work
on all its projects. So many promises
have been made by the company and
so many reports circulated that the
latest statements are not taken ser-
ously.

Roy BROWNS WHEN HE
FALLS INTO A SWAMP
(From Mondays Daily

In less than two feet OF water Dan
Straight. the two-year-old son OF
Henry Straight. was drowned last
evening about 7 O'Clock. The mother
stepped out Of the house shortly af-
ter supper and the child followed
her.
He wandered on out through the
yard and fell into swamp but few
yards away. A search for the child
failed to reveal the youngster until
the party happened by the swamp
when the body was discovered.
Physicians were summoned and
every effort was made In vain ~ re-
store life. The coroner was called
and took charge OF the body.

THE TIMES SCHOLARSHIPS

In Pleasing contrast to the usual
''prizes" offered by various of the
yellows In Denver for those who are
best able to pad the subscription
lists of the individual papers are the
scholarships which are being offered
by the Denver Times for the Univer-
sity Of Colorado and the University
Of Denver II certain requirements be
fulfilled.
The chance for a young man or
woman of Colorado to get a free
scholarship to either school means
an equivalent of something more
than 5000.
The idea il one which is worthy
Of the emulation of the other Dem
yer papers but will hardly be taken
up by them because of the fact that
1t il too quiet in color.
One thing is certain. The young
man or the young woman who works
to obtain the scholarship will prob
ably be ON Just q bit higher plane
than the one who would gather In
subscriptions for an automobile de-
spite the fact that the amount of
money involved is less in the educa-
tonal premium than in the other.
The idea of scholarships az prem
iums for newspapers IL one of ex-
treme worth and is indicative Of the
turn which Journalism is taking for
Improvement.

the Weld county fair, will he ladies'
day and every woman in Weld
county, or in the state for that mat
ter, is invited to attend and will be

tors on Saturday.

all the railroad companies it is ex-
pected that more than one thousand
visitors will be present from the
capital.
An invitation has been sent to
Governor Shafroth and there is lit
tie doubt but that ne will be present
as he has always considered Weld
county as one OF the greatest sec
tions of the state.
Efforts are also being made to
obtain the Post band for that day as
we'll as many other features which
have not yet been worked out.
Friday, September 80. will be
children's day when there will be no
policemen on guard and no need OF
jumping the fence as the gate will

ster in the surrounding country.

awarded Saturday to the Roster
Electrical company. Every evening
and afternoon there will be free at
fractions in the way OF vaudeville
performers. acrobatic feats and
many other attractions now being
booked by the management.
The life or death of the organiza-
tion depends upon the success of
this years exhibition and the direc-
tors who are working night and day
say there is no doubt of the result
IL the growers and other exhibitors
will lend their support to the festi-
val.

HORSE FRIGHTENED AT
COW ALONG ROADSIDl

The horse became frightened at a
COW while the buggy was crossing
the bridge. 1t backed right into the
ditch which is quite deep. Down in
to the ditch went the buggy, occu-
pants and horse. The buggy over
turned, the women and children fall
ing beneath it and the horse falling
on top of it. For few minutes 1t
looked to the woman as though they
could not possibly extricate them
selves or the children. 1t took all
their strength to force their way
from the buggy and to pull the chill
dren out.

surgent candidates for congress and
whole liberal list OF state candi-
dates chosen in the state primaries
as against the stand paters.
In Iowa the same day the repub-
licans were holding their state pri-
maries and the insurgents had
regular rough and tumble fight with
the regulars. Result there, the resu-
lars on the road side with tires pune
tured and the Cummings-Dolliver
crowd away down the road with the
whole bakery.
In both states the issue was high
and oppressive pre-Aldrich tarin
law and a rebellion against the gang
rule OF the party, which sought to
dictate men and measures to the
people without regard to public
economy or party consistency.
In both states the people had TAX
en- seriously the campaign claims
that the tariff was to be revised
downward, instead of being increas-
ed and when the regulars who had
helped put through the trust-sup-
porting steal came back for indorse-
ment we see what they got.
Some politician will use this as an
argument against the enactment in
Colorado of the primary election
law 1t helped upset the organiza-
ton" in those states. Yes. that is
just what it does whenever the or
ganization gets so out of tune with
the people as they have been in
Colorado in recent years. The pri-
mary is the hope of the people and
they will soon have it here.
The principle of direct nomina-
tion and election of United States
senators is having its effect already
in Colorado. The several ambitious
republicans who desire to succeed
Guggenheim and considering how
best to get the people on their side
and have even suggested the wisdom
of recommending to their state COM
mittee that they authorize the state
convention to nominate candidate
for United States senator for two
years ahead.
And now comes from the Denver
dispatches the news that the brill
liant Tom O'Donald has signified his
lingering ambition to represent Colo
RADIO in the Washington upper house
and suggests that the democratic
state committee place in their call a
simple rule providing for direct
nomination of candidate for United
States senator and let the people
have a whack at the several names
which might be submitted. The
nearer all nominations can be kept
to the personal voters the better.
While on this subject it is only fair
to suggest that T. j. O'Donnell is
we'll known to the democracy of
Weld county and they fully appre-
ciate his sterling worth and long
service to the party.

INJUNCTION Is GRANTED
IN THE DARK OF NIGHT
(From Mondays Daily

(From Mondays Daily
A temporary injunction was
granted by Judge Bradfield Of the
county court a little before mid
night Saturday prohibiting the state
engineer and the water commission
er OF this district from shutting
down the headgat~. OF the Lower
Latham. Godfrey and Union bitches
and allowing water from the Plumb
ditch being carried past their dams
to the Bijou ditch.
The court was asked to interfere
after an attempt to shut down the
headgates OF the three bitches by
the Bitou company. After failing to
find Judge Garrigues, the attorneys
for the plaintiff ditch companies got
Judge Bradfield out of bed to grant
the restraining order pointing out
the need OF immediate action be-
cause of the efforts of the Bij0u
company to cut off water users Of
the three bitches which irrigate
much valuable land in the LaSalle
and Kersey districts. The injunction
was served on officers of the Bijou
company and the water commission
er after midnight.
The Bijou company purchased the
Plumb ditch. It neglected to file
notice OF the purchase with the
county clerk and recorder and failed
to secure a decree from the district
court OF this district authorizing a
change in the point of the diversion
of the water rights. Because of this
neglect, the Officers of the plaintiff
compaies attcak thier right to di-
vert water of the Plumb ditch.
