The celebration of Colorado Day"

matter OF limiting the power Of cor
porations in the state and endeavored
to give the people a constitution that
was thoroughly up-to-date, yet in
harmony with the Democratic ideas

for the extension OF the right OF suf-
frage TO women, the first Of its kind
in the United States. and took ad-
vanced ground upon several other
matters OF public interest A good
many amendments have been made
10 the constitution since its adoption
ihirty-four years ago. but they have
been rendered necessary by the
growth OF the state in wealth, popala-

The Pull of The Pass

that we do not believe this. quite.
But those who do not make an eff

few Democrats in this county pay any

enough to write in to their state rep
resentative and ask for a pass.
II is wonderful what power and in

into in Denver. Can you imagine a
more lofty. honor than that OF hav-
ing a whole railroad system at your
commando pass for youself and all
your friends?

supposed to protect the common peo-

1t was. learned today that the work OF
reorganizing the business of the govern
ment departments in Washington. under
the 100000 appropriation made by Con-
gress at the last session, will be let to the
experts making the best preliminary sur
vey or showing Of the possible economies
that may be effected.
Four individuals or firms Of reorsaniza-
ton experts have been invited to go over
the field and make preliminary surveys
Taft, who then will determine the one to
be selected to enter upon the work of
general overhauling that will follow.
Maj. Charles Hine, the expert of the
Hartman line Of railroads. is one of
those invited by the President, as al
ready told in The Star. Arthur Young
& Co., the Chicago firm which
has been responsible for the overturn-
ing Of the Treasury Department during
the last four months. is another, and
third is Mitchell, Warwick & Co.
of New York, whose representative, J.
Mendenhall. has Investigated the
bureau Of supplies Of the Navy Depart
ment with a view of reporting upon
the best way Of saving money in that
department. The name Of the fourth
firm has not been announced.
To Begin at Early Date.
Maj. Hine already has introduced
himself to the several departments in
Washington and is soon to enter upon
the preliminary work ahead of him.
The other experts are also to get to
work at an early date.
Each Of the four experts selected from
Beverly is to look over the field with
care and then make a general report to
the White House. outlining their views as
to the best methods of conducting the
business Of the government. not only at
saving in dollars and cents, but in ex-
petition. The President will, through
Secretary Norton. go into these plans and
the man who puts up the best evidence of
accomplishing successful results will OBJ
tain the contract for the permanent work.
President Taft has practically put Sec
rotary Norton in charge Of this whole re-
organization scheme and will leave 1t
generally in his hands. It was Mr.. Nor
ton who conceived and worked ou the
extensive overhauling in the Treasury

Stamped Out Opium Habit.

Previous to the Russian occupation the
opium habit was very general here. hav-
ing been inherited from China, but the
government took immediate and decisive
steps to exterminate it, and the penalty
for using as we'll as for dealing in the
drug is very severe-practically imprison-
ment for life, and when a native gets
into Russian prison for violating the
Russian laws 1t is the end Of him. He
is never seen among his fellow men
again. The only way in which this mar
cotic is used now. ! am told, Is in the
form of a tea made from the heads OF
poppies which are gathered from the
and dried by hanging them from the cell
ings OF the cabins. When perfectly dry
they are crushed with mortar and pestle
and prepared like ordinary tea.
The mud huts remind us Of the Indian
pueblos of New Mexico. but they are not
SO we'll built: nor are the mud bricks so
hard or enduring as the adobe blocks of
New Mexico and Arizona. The dwell
ings of the Sarts and other tribes Of CEN
trail Asia are more like those of the
fellahs of Egypt that you see on the
desert along the banks of the Nile. The
walls are windowless; all the light and
air comes in through the door; the cook
ing is done outside: the floor is Mother
few decrepit chairs and benches. The
inevitable loom. with half-inished rug
on the frame. always occupies a promi-
nent place.
The women who live in these humble
habitations will not allow their faces to
be seen under any circumstances. II
strangers are SO impertinent or tactless
as to manifest any interest in the femi-
nine portion OF family they usually
suffer severe penalty. The most seri-
Gus troubles that have occurred with the
natives here have been caused by what
they consider insults to their wives and
daughters.
There is an eternal advantage in hav-
ing an abundance of building material
handy, because the habitations, even en-
tire villages. crumble and are blown away
in an earthquake, but central Asia could
furnish mud enough to build that kind Of
dwellings for all the inhabitants Of the
world. The kibikas of the Turkomans
and the Kirghiz and the tents Of the
Bedouins of Arabia are more convenient
and comfortable than the cabins in the
villages Of Turkestan.
