AN AMERICAN QUALIFICATION

In connection with the ascension
to the throne of the British empire
of George V. there was broadly plb-
lished chapter in the life of the
new king which must have grated
upon the heart and finer sensibilities
of every true American who read it.
The particular paragraph told of how
the now king was a second son prior
to the death of his older brother, the
talented Duke of Clarence, and there
fore. he welded a niece of vice-ad-
mirnl worthy young woman. The
affair was one of true love and they
lived happily and two children had
come to their home beore the crown
prince suddenly died, leaving the now
king in direct line to succeed his

IT'S IN THE AIR.

There seems to be. this spring,
a noticeable increase in the activity
of towns and cities in general through
out the state in regard to improve
ments. Many new buildings are be-
ing constructed. Streets are being
graded and any amount of cement
sidewalks are being laid. Boards of
trade or similar organizations
are being formed where there have
been none before: where they are al
ready in existance, they are given
renewed interest and support. City
and vii age improvement associations
are being organized, and they are
making and following plans for the
beautifying of their respective homes.
And it may be remarked that in
no sect on of the state is this so
pronounced as in the San Luis valley.

Mr.. Bryan's recent open letter to
Gov Harmon of Ohio. in the Com
moner, is interesting from several
points of view. The point most noted
by the newspapers is that 1t is to be
considered fair notice to the Dem
ocratic party that Mr.. Bryan proposes
to control the nomination of the next
national Democratic convention. The
point of interest in this state espec-
tally, is that the difference of opinion
which called forth the letter is over a
The La Jara chronicle., 1910-06-24

matter which may come up in this
state this fall-the possible endorse
ment of a candidate for United States
Senator by the state convention. It
will be well for the voters to consider
whether such action ought to be
taken. and well for the members of
slider whether they should include
the State Central Committee to con-
such a proposition in their call for
the convention. II they should, and
the delegates to the convention were
elected with the understanding that
they should vote on that question.

judgment" if the convention should

The break between the Governor
and his friends the Citizens, seems
to be complete. They demand that he
call an extra session at once. and
he says he will not do it. but will
call an extra session in August, as
already several times announced.
This presents some interesting prob
lens as to the probable lineup in
the fall campaign. So far as Repub
icans are concerned, they can say,
Go it. husband, go it. bear" The
calling of an extra session is utterly
warranted. at whatever time during
the summer. If it is done, it will
be simply for srand-stand play. and
everybody knows it. and the Repub-
leans need take no further part in
the matter than to show the light
in which they regard ii.

Mr. Pinchot is as wholesale as ever
in his accusations of people who do
not agree with him. In his latest
public speech, he indicted the whole
membership of Congress, and said
that the people had lost confidence
in their representatives, and that the
latter had been led often to betray
their trusts. 1t seems to US that
that is a rather sweeping accusation,
and one not at al warranted by the
facts. 1t will be. and should be. re-
sented both by the representatives
and by their constituents. 1t a.
mounts to an accusation of the grav-
est kind against the great majority
of the voters. If they are not COM
petent to select their representatives
they are not competent for self-gov-
ernment. Perhaps Mr.. Pinchot would
like to have the United States gov
erned by a commission of three. of
whom of course. he should be one.

another democrat is seen rising
little above the heads around him.
Rryan hits it. This time the crack
was delivered at Judson Harmon of
Ohio, who now shares with Mayor
Gaynor of New York the most of
Democratic enthusiasm about the
next candidate for President. Mr..
Bryan evidently regards Harmon as
formidable rival, for he hits as
hard as he can. evidently bent on
driving his victim off the field before
he grows any stronger. The Demo-
cratic donkey is a strange and patient
animal, but Mr.. Bryan may perhaps
find out that by two years from now
it will resent some of his thwacks.

people may look for a decrease in the

market"

cline in the grain markets and predic-
lions of bountiful crops both here and

THUNDER STORM AND FROST.

THUNDER STORM AND FROST.
The thunder storm of Thursday
evening of last week, followed Friday
night by frost and Saturday night by
a heavy snowfall did considerable
damage in this vicinity. The light
ming which accompanied the thunder
storm struck the home of Adam
Trafas, the Frank Zeman residence,
on Eighth street southeast, and bolt
passed through three rooms, causing
about $25 damages. The telephone
and electric light wires were affected
IN different parts of the city, plung-
ing a number IF homes into darkness.
The leaves and blossoms of shade
trees, fruit trees, berry bushes and
flowers were nlpped quite badly by
the Friday night frost, and it is feared
that the fruit and berry crop Will be
curtailed to great extent the conf ng
season. Some of the fruit. growers
had delayed the blooming Of their
fruit trees in anticipation of a late
frost by mulchlng the trees, and are
now very thankful that they took this
precautiOn. Some of the grain which
had showed itself above ground also
suffered.

New York. April 2o.-1t is esti-
mated that tho general advance now
in progress in the wages Of railroad

On account Of tho various forms in

innate.

$20,000.0o0 annually and these are;
only four Of tho railroads upon which
advances have been announced.
Most Of tho advances granted since
tho first of the year have been per-

are in the form of 80 many cents an
hour and still others in the form Of 80
many dollars a month. Two of the
roads have simply announced the an
nual total which the advances granted
would cost their treasures. without
giving details.
Benefits Half a Million People.
The number of men benefited by
these advances has ranged from few
hundred. in the case of some oompan-
les, to as many as 100000 in the case
of the company with the largest pay
roll The number Of employees who
have received wage increases since
