CONCERNING RABIES

Readers OF the Literary Digest
will have seen In a recent issue (the
last onel. an excerpt from an article
in Journal Record OF Medicine which
recites rather in detail the expert
ence of the London police and the
health societies of considerable
part of England with the mad dog
proposition, showing also the pro-
nounced increase in the number of
cases treated for rabies in . certain
southern hospital during the past
few years, which cases are nearly all
from the south and west In the
United States. 1t will be interest
ing reading. and instructive. for
those OF our readers who have not
had access to this article. to procure

doubts as to the reasonableness of
some regulation in the matter of the
mad dog question.

GRAssHOPPER STORIES
GROW VIGOROUSLY IN
TRANSFER About LAND

Weld county grasshoppers are
getting a rare reputation through
out the country. One report is TAX
en- and enlarged upon until. when
the story finally gets to some far
eastern or northern papers it offers
a most gigantic display OF newspaper
imagination.
One Minneapolis paper states that
the freight trains were blocked. SO
thick were the grasshoppers in GER
tain portions of the county, Chi
cago sheet of yellow propensities has
several farmers of Weld county out
many desirable chickens because of
the fact that they were eaten up by
ravenous hoppers which strangely
took to eating flesh. while a Kan
sas City sheet states that the coun-
try about Greeley has more of the
pests than all the other parts of the
state combined.
The Greeley tribune., 1910-08-04

bility to honestly deliver more than
three, but the power OF that l79
votes was the intimidating bait
which turned three OF those four
counties absolutely wrong and
against the sentiment of their peo-
pie.
For state treasurer, Denver dele
CATION sold her l79 votes to three
different counties and finally Lari-
mer county took down the plum and
was registered under the Speer BAN
ner when in her county convention
she could not have registered a cor
porals guard in support OF the Den
yer contingent.
So we might example column
more of similar instances where un-
der the convention system any strong
delegation can tempt the influential
politician in the outside counties to
take positions utterly unwarranted
and out of line with their home con-
stituency.
Understanding this, 1t is easy to
realize why the Denver senators are
now opposing by every means known
to political strategy, the adoption of
the democratic demands for direct
primary interlaw. In the regular
session they it was who voted with
the republicans to defeat the meas
use and they are now seeking to
combine with the republicans to keep
the state from getting q healthful
law upon our statute books.
The Greeley tribune., 1910-08-04
THE DIRECT PRIMARY

One of the questions to be deter
mined by the special session of the
legislature Is whether or not the
people of Colorado will be given the
new system of nominating for Of
fcers, known as the direct primary
system. While a majority of the
states east and west already have
this system Colorado has yet to es-
tablish 1t.
Let us use an example: The peo-
pie at large through their social and
business organizations may advocate
a certain policy. directly beneficial
and helpful to their locality. A de-
signing set of politicians sensing this
move upon the part of the people at
large connive quietly to control the
precinct primaries. the county and
state conventions, the result of which
10 that while an apparently repre-
sentative bunch of delegates we're
chosen, the intended reforms stood
no more show in the main conven-
ton than the proverbial SNOWFALL in
Hades.
The primary system provides that
by several different easy means,
names may come before the precinct
primaries and at such primaries each
voter may express his secret prefer
ence for these people; these pri-
maries are safeguarded by law the
same as the regular election and
when the totals have been made up
the party receiving the largest num-
ber of votes becomes the candidate
of said party in the general election.
This leaves the power directly In the
hands of the public instead of as at
present in the hands OF the political
fixture which controls the conven-
tions from precinct to the state.
Again let us cite an example: The
situation in 1908. The Denver dele
cation had 179 votes In the state
convention, went out In the state and
sold that 179 votes to no less than
three different counties for candi-
dates for position OF governor in ex-
change for their votes for certain
candidates desired by Denver.
| On the position of railroad COM
missioner Denver delegation Of 179
was swspped to four different coun-
ties when 1t was . physical impossi-

WHERE is THE TROUBLE?

So many are asking What is the
matter that the democrats DO not
get together and pass the platform
measures promised the people In
the campaign of 1908?
Briefly replying the Tribune would
say that the chief trouble lies in
Denver city and the power that a
few in that great city have in deter
mining the fate of legislation. 1t
was the four democratic senators
with four from the outside counties
who defeated the platform bills in
the regular session by voting with
the republicans. The senate was
so evenly divided that that slight de-
flection assisted the republicans in
defeating the measures. Now that
the Denver senators have lost at
least two of their former support
from the outside, 1t is likely that
they will prove a very small minor
ity in the special session to be held
Be it said to the credit of the
lower house. they passed practically
all the measures and it was the
Speer- Hughes democrats in the SEN
ate joining the republicans who pre-
vented the measures becoming laws.
The Denver News has helped to clear
the situation in the following:
"Shorn of all subterfuge and mis-
leading argument, here is the situa-
ton:
The democratic party of Colorado
pledged to the people certain legis-
lation If they would trust it with the
power of government
The electorate of the state did so
repose the authority by which the
party can fulfill the covenant
The governor insists upon a COM
pliance with the pledge; the state
chairman urges It; a majority of
the party's elected legislators favor
1t; and. irrespective of partisianship.
the people of Colorado demand 1t.
With such aggregated support for
measures. 1t would seem impossible
for them to fail in any state of this
republic. Indeed it would seem i'm
possible that any person. possessing
sense of justice or responsibility,
could offer resistance to their enact
ment.
And yet a minority OF the pledged
legislators are working ruthIessly to
prevent the legislation, to defeat the
will of the people. to dishonor and
perhaps ruin their party, and to vio-
late their own political personal
covenant
To this infamy they are being in
stigated by a combine of republican
and democratic bosses in Denver, al
lied with big business
The two forces are well defined
Upon one side the people, and
party honor. and personal pledge.
Upon the other. the combine, and
party ruin and personal dishonor.
Which side will the legislators
choose? They must take one or the
other They cannot be both patriot
and mercenary in this battle"
