THE CHILDREN.s DAY

That time is past when the ancient
and honorable adage children
should be seen and not heard" held
good. With other relics Of tho days
when men and women did not know
az much as they do now. It has been
relegated to the epfgrAmatic junk
heap. And let US all be thankful for
that.
Gradually the world II waking up

parent IL also emphasized more and
more and those who are responsible
for the being of the child are being
compelled by Law to face that re-
sponsibility
Laws prohibiting child labor are
in effect In many states. juvenile
courts are becoming common COM

almost universally and the schools

Pope. that famous English scholar,
said many years ago that the child

day that the profound thought is
sinking into the gray matter OF the
masses. We are learning what this
astute philosopher meant when he
expressed himself thuswise.
A concrete example Of how far
We are progressing was had yester-
day in the high school. when the

to aid In the project. They we're
treated by their teachers as though

Squeers famous educational institu-
tion. They were made parties In

own kind. They were brought. In a
measure. to feel the responsibilities
OF those younger than themselves.
And knowledge OF children is ex-
tending further each year. Child
study Is recognized as fundamental
for all who are grown. Physicians.
scientists, educators, law makers,
teachers. editors and preachers are

and they are winning. We are be-
ing shown the handicaps under
which the children are forced to
labor. The pathway Is being point
ed out to them. They are getting a

had. and they in turn will be better
equipped to do for their children
what should be done.

Cant Wear Sam. Money

Beware of having coins OF the
realm made into ornaments for
wearing. az Uncle Sam has set his
foot down on the practice Of allow
ing his money to be used in such
trivial fashion. Those having a
fancy for coin jewelry will have to
take to the woods with It or leave
it at home. a. there is penalty OF
Ave years in prison and q $4,000
fine for violation OF the law.
Rowland X. Goddard. head OF the
United States secret service depart
ment in Colorado. has received Or
ders to prosecute all persons found
mutilating coins for decorative pur-
poses or wearing mutilated pieces OF
money as jewelry. Although the law
has been in effect for years. 1t has
not been pressed. Recently there
has come q tendency on the part OF
jewelers. to manufacture ornaments
with coins and Uncle Sam will keep
his eagle eye on these.
The campaign against mutilated
coins will be general throughout the
country. No excuses for wearing
them will be accepted by the govern
ment. although the wearer may be
able to avoid punishment by furn-
ishing the secret service officers
with Information AZ to where he
came by the defaced coin and who

MANY NATlONALITIEs IN
YIELDS NEW CITIZENS

Citizens who have adopted Weld
county for their home are from all
parts OF the world and have been of
varied occupations when they were
made sons of Uncle Sam. The rec
ords in Office Of Clerk OF the Dis
trict Court Frank Madden show
some interesting features.
The initial first papers Of the Of
fee were issued in 1873. Just 81
come along had six children and
many who followed him evidently
were against race suicide. a. the
majority had from fve to ten chill
dren. The man With tn wss Z Rus
sian and most OF hin countrymen
brought large families with them.
All sorts Of occupations are num-
bered. The majority are farmers
aud usually had established them
selves permanently before taking out
naturalization papers. One woman
gave her occupation AZ q housewife.
Among the new citizens are two
ministers from Sweden. which coun-
try has furnfshed the largest num-
ber OF farmers. The only woman re-
corded II q German.
No applications have been reject
ed In Greeley on account Of the petit
toner. In every case of rejection
1t was because of the restrictions
that are made by the government.
One woman was rejected because
her husband was not a naturalized
citizen. The law makes 1t compul-
sorry for . woman to have an Ameri-
can husband before she can get
papers.
Nineteen different nationalities
are represented Many of them had
been American sympathizers long
before becoming citizens as is shown
by the case OF one petitioner who
served as a United States soldier In
Cuba and In the Philippines during
and following the Spanish American
war.
The new law went into effect In
1906 and the first person to become
naturalized under 1t in Weld county
is a Swede farmer who is doing well
on his land. Many have taken out
citizenship papers 80 they may take
up government land for homesteads.
These have proved to be most de-
sirable citizens. law abiding and in
dustrious. Some have prospered
greatly and are in comfortable Girl
cumstances. No cases are on record
where the made to order citizens
have turned out badly and violated
their oaths to the government

Walter Rising was denied new
trial by Judge Garrigues In the dis
trict court this morning. Imme-
diately after overruling the motion

Immediately following the sent

Mrs. Rising has been in Greeley

Jail while Rising has been waiting

Attorney Carpenter stated this

oleomargarine tax and the price o

oleomargarine tax and the price OF
butter. People who are In favor
of repeating the present olemargar-
inc law have taken advantage of the
situation to loudly condemn a. ''un-
democatic and un-American" this
"burdesome tax on . pure, whole
some and nutritious food product. ="
They conveniently forget to ex-
plain that over 81 per cent OF the
oleomargarine put upon the market
Is taxed at only one-Iourth cent per
pound. They do not explain that
only oleomargarine that IN artfncally
colored IL taxed at ten cents per
pound.
Even II 1t were all taxed at ten
cents per pound II would have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the price
OF butter after the latter Foachs1 %
cents \ pound retail. It costs about
II cents = pound to produce the
very best grade Of oleomargarine.
Add to this ten cent tax and the
cost OF production would be "a cents.
The product could be retafled at 80
cents at a handsome profit to manu-
facturer and retailer.
Looking at the question from any
view point 1t il clearly seen that the
oleomargine law has absolutely
nothing to do with the price of hut
ter.
The dairy interests of the country
are not enjoying .sy benefit
through oleomargarin legislation ex-
cept as the integrity Of the industry
is maintained. In this every honest
citizen should feel q keen interest.
He should also understand that the
effort put forth by the manufactur-
ers Of oleomargarine to secure legis-
lation which will make 1t easy for
men to commit a fraud selling oleo-
margarine is not inspired by love for
the poor man who wants a cheap
substitute for butter"
The whole proposition may be
thus summed up: oleomargarine 10
now made to taste and smell some
thing like butter. The manufac-
turers and a few retail dealers want
the privilege OF putting it upon the
market SO that 1t will look like but
ter, thus making 1t easy to commit
fraud.
Every good citizen should be in
terested In effective pure food legis-
lation and ole0margarine law Is
just such legislation-no more, NO
less.

PROFESSOR I4AKIN HAS
EXTRACTED RADIUM

Professor ]. w. Lakin. head OF the
science department OF the high
school, has been rewarded for six
years work by succeeding In ex-
tracing a small portion of radium
from q quantity OF ore he obtained
in the southwestern part of the
state. He has just received his spe-
cimen back from London. England.
where he sent to DR.. William Cook
for mounting.
Although he applied many OF his
own methods In extracting the pre-
cious metal. Professor Lakin does
not claim that his process Is original.
but rather an application Of known
methods to suit the ores he used.
He has an original method, how
ever. that he expects to perfect and
which he hopes will result in obtain
ing radium at much cheaper figure
than now prevails.
The mounted specimen just re-
ceived from DR.. Cook Is 80 small
that a microscope is necessary In
studying it. The alpha rays 1t gives
out are OF great power and strong
enough to affect the eyes. 1t will
be used for study at the high school
and for experimental purposes.
No value would be placed on the
specimen by Prof. Lakin. The
prices at which radium fs quoted
ranges from 100000 to $3.000.-
600 an ounce. but as there is barely
one-tenth OF an ounce In existence
there is a wide field for experiment
in securing q cheaper process OF ex-
traction.
The late Thomas F. Walsh. the
Colorado Mining king, firmly be-
lieved that radium would be found
in quantities in Colorado some day.
and some months before his death
gave a fund to the State School Of
Mines for experimental purposes.
Professor Lakin expects to con-
tinue his work in the radium and
hopes to perfect method OF his own
for extracting It from pitchblende.
In securing the specimen he has re-
duced about one ton OF ore and spent
several summers in the work.

CHATTER l.
 fT1 HE Cannon Ball.. as it. was ! k,< called, picked up it's principal 51SSES| passengers at Southampton V97s every Monday morning in time to get them into New York for their more or less important business, and it was because of the character of it's freight that somebody once said that it was the most representative train in America. '''
 It was sunburned, vigorous, ath- letic looking aggregation of humanity that filled this: train-tall, vigorous women who lookeduas if they never doubted, perfectly sure of. themselves and their possessions, from a dog and an automobile or two to a lover or per haps a husband; women who knew and yet were perfectly calm in all their knowledge; women who lived much in the open air, a rapidly in- creasingr habit. that might argue that we are at the atavistic stage when we are ,returpings to the joyous life and courage of our paleolithic ancestors, who lived as they breathed, with wild, rampant unrestraint-peace be to Friedrich NietzscheI ... --,
 The, train pulled out of Southamp- ton at 7:fO, and among its precious freight, even at this early. hour, all eager eyed, all clear eyed and ready for the days fight, were young man and woman who found their seats with little difficulty and immediately started an earnest conversation.
 T tell you, Dora,s you are wrong," said the young man. He was hardly over thirty and trffle too stout for his age. Every lineament in< his face showed his sincerity and displayed his good breeding, and it was clearly ievi- dent that he was endeavoring to con ceal something-his love.
 "Graham"-the girl spoke in. lower voice than her companion, her knowl- edge of effect being greater-"G Graham, it is quite possible that you are speak ing the truth, but there are things I cannot tell" She hesitated. q am going to- do this thing thatsyou dislike so much and even fear. I am going to do it no matter what the outcome is."
 The young man sat back in his seat. His face reddened. ''You are going to do it no matter what the outcome is?" His masculine sense led him to lay the unnecessary. emphasis on the last phrase. ~-.., -..,..-.,,,.-. ,..... s,.
 ''Yes," the girl said slowly.
 It was blow to the young man. His fastidious though not ostentatious dress;sth care with which he gesticu- lated, his deferential attitude toward this representative of the sex, helped to show why such final statement from woman was shock.
 He looked into the face of the girl

The Declaration of Rights was a forerun-
ner of the Declaration Of Independence. There
is nothing more essentially British than the
dictuln that there shall be no taxation without
representation. OF the early American states
men only Franklin and Otis wished to. have
representation in the British parliament. The
others considered that their own assemblies
should be the legislative bodies entirely and
that If any taxes were to be imposed they
should be collected only with the consent Of
the colonial assemblies.
The question of taxation, however. did not
enter into any controversies, for 1t was not
until the middle of the eighteenth century that
Great Britain, exhausted by many wars and
seeking to replenish the national treasury,
sought extraordinary means for raising reve-
nue. and her ministers proposed that the col
onies, which had been growing in wealth and
Importance, should be made to contribute to
the impoverished exchequer. The French and
Indian war had shown the power OF the col
onies and their force and had given a very
definite idea of their growing wealth and i'm
p~ortance.
Having reached the decision to tax the col
onies, the ministry did not spend any time In
preliminaries. 1t was decided that parliament
had the right to levy the taxes and the fact
that the colonies had no representation In that
body was not taken into account. Such a mat
ter would ordinarily have been considered a
subject for delicate negotiation, but, the deci-
sion to tax having once been made, no time
was lost in levying it.
England had In effect been a constitutional
monarchy since the signing of the Magma
Charta in 1915 and in taxing the colonies not
represented in the common council of the
kingdom she had violated one of the oldest of
the rights which every Briton claims.
Such was the situation in 1854, when the
struggle began which IL years later brought
forth the Declaration of independence, and the
next year brought into being the first congress
of the American colonies, which decided that
the assembly had the power to fix taxes. The
stamp act was the first heavy impost levied
