Judge Lewis Criticism.
D O l N G S

In his order forbidding the issue Of
bonds If SO voted. Judge Lewis pays
his respects to the recent action of
the Legislature as follows:
by that constitution they gave to
Congress the sole power Of legislation.
BY the constitutions of the several
states they gave to their House of Rep.
and exclusive power Of legislation.
They said on all of those constitutions
that they were the supreme law of the
land. the supreme law Of the state. No
man has right to complain IL the
people in lawful ways abolish those
constitutions and take back to them
selves, by establishing pure democ-
racy-not constitutional democracy
which now exists-the exclusive pow
er Of legislation and all the powers Of
the government.
"But the alarming situation is that
men who understand all of these prin-
ciples of government. will acquiesce in
overriding the constitution. not in abol.
ishing 1t, not first setting 1t aside and
taking back to themselves these pow
ers but while those constitutions are
In force. which they have said are the
supreme law of the land and which
they bind the courts by solemn oath
to enforce. they seek to override con-
stantly. So we have, here In Colorado.

these things to Gibbs but he did not
take much stock in them. He admit
ted that the ocean was a pretty big

the fun. Then we went to a restau-

when they go to Norfolk-we ordered
oysters. But strange to say we carried
away with US from the old southern
town, famous for its oysters for q
hundred years, the memory of the
baked apples that restaurant served,
rather than the oysters. Those ap-
pies were as fine as Hercules gather
ed from the golden orchard of the
Hesperides. I would die for a woman
who could bake apples like those. And
even Gibbs was moved out of his calm
by the apples he ate. They were as
yellow as gold and silver syrup oozed
from their inside.

During the past year much has been

reasons have been given as the cause. /
have in my possession some old accounts,
1S49 to 1854, that will be interesting
reading for those who sigh for the ''good
old days" when trusts were unknown.
In those days Willard Fillmore and
Franklin Pierce were presidents, and the
democrats had the control all along the
line from Maine to Florida.
Those were the days when the women
were compelled to card, spin, weave and
make greater part of the clothes worn by
the family.
Those were the days when mems sus-

ranging in width from three to five inches,
and women knit for themselves yarn
elastics about two yards in length to wind
around the top Of their stocking to keep
them from falling down and hiding

In addition many curios were shown.
Some of them garments wonderfully
