REGISTRATION BILL VICIOUS.

Frauds


Frauds
Senator Patterson's opinion Of the
extra session registration bill.
The Big Mitt bill has passed the
legislature. In the name Of every de-
cent voter Of the city Of Denver and
the state Of Colorado. The News calls
on Governor Shafroth to refuse his
signature, and to veto this bill which
would leHalize election thievery.
There is no need to 60 into detail
In pointing out the viciousness Of the
so.called registration bill to a man like
Governor Shafroth. He has had ex
perience with practical politics. He
knows how the registration lists were
padded in the old days, before Mayor
Speer's claws were clipped. He knows
for he was elected to congress by
those fraudulent votes. and rightly
won his nickname Of Honest John
by refusing to hold once to which he
was not entitled. The bill now before
him asks him to authorize and protect
the frauds which he repudiated then
The News Is we'll aware that with
out a registration bill of some sort
the primary law will be imperative,
But the primary law will not be ef.
fective until 1912 and there will be
plenty Of opportunity to enact reg
istration law at the regular session OF
the next legislature.

According to AngIo-Saxon law, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at a fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
offense by a money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life Of a peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings,
that of man of noble birth ], 200 shil-
lings, and the killing Of a king involved
the regicide in a payment of 1900 shil-
nngs. 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne could thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine. according to the scale, to the ex-
chequer, when his offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself. for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt
that these rough means were practi-
cally applied in the case of some rulers
of England in the preconquest period.

OLD TIME GRIZZLIES.

Wear In the Middle Ages.

They Were Indispensable Articles Of
Wear In the Middle Ages.
In the middle ages at the girdle were
hung the thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in everyday
affairs. The scrivener had his inkhorn
and pen attached TO it, the scholar his
book or books. the monk his crucifx
and rosary. the innkeeper his TALES
and everybody his knife. So many
and so various were the articles at
tached to it that the hippant began to
poke fun. In an old play there is men
ton OF a merchant who had hanging
at his girdle pouch. spectacle case,
a "punniard,' a pen and inkhorn and
a handkerchief with many other
trinkets besides, of which a merry
companion said. at was like a hab-
erdasher's shop Of small wares" In
another early play a lady says to her
maid: "Give me my girdle and see
that all the furniture be at it. Look
that pinchers, the penknife, the knife
to close letters with, the bodkin, the
ear picker and the scale be in the
case" Girdles were in some respects
like the chatelaines Of more modern
times, but they differed therefrom in
being more useful, more comprehen-
sive in regard both to sex and to ar
ticles worn, and when completely fin
ished more costly. 1t is partly for this
reason that we find girdles bequeathed
as precious heirlooms and as valuable
presents to keep the giver's memory
green after death. They were not in
frequently of great intrinsic value.

FEAR ATTACK ON JAIL
Peoria Officers Guard Farmer Who
Oonfesses Attacking Girl Teacher.


Peoria, Ill, Nov. 3.-Fear that a
mob may attack the county Jail in
which Joseph Hoffman and two other
assailants of women are confined,
caused the county authorities to hold
the entire police department and
sheriff's force on reserve duty last
night.
Hoffman, a young farmer, who
confessed to having attacked Miss
Mazo Clark, a school teacher, Tues
day night, was placed under bonds
of $4,000. After the confession
David Clark, the father of the vic
tim, leaped at the prisoner and had
almost choked him into unconscious
ness when guards of the prisoner
wrested him away.
Miss Clark is in a precarious con-
dition, and if she dies, the county of
ficials expect a mob to attack the
Jail.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and a half old. began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
SO bad that I had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only one cake Of
Cuttcura Soap and about three boxes
Of Ointment.
