Shall Term be Six or Four Weeks

A lively ispute over the length of
the term of summer school institutes
and their control commenced Saturday
at a meeting of educators in the Office
of School Superintendent Chadsey in
Denver. The discussion was continued
at session of the governors commits
sion on schools later in the day.
Some of those present at each meet
ing declared in favor of six weeks
institute and Others wanted the course
to be not longer than two weeks.
When Professor F. E. Thompson of
the State university suggested the in
stitutes should be under the control of
the state board of teachers examiners,
Professor w. B. Mooney of the State
Normal school jumped to his feet and
protested. He declared the Normal
school school should have control. The
question was not decided.
A proposition to have school elections
combined with fall elections and allow
ing salaries to the board of school di.
rectors received little encouragement.
1t was considered move to bring
the schools into politics.
The committee appointed by the gov
ernor to codify the schools laws, of
which Mrs. Katherine M. Cook, former
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, is chairman, declared that its task
could not be completed without an
appropriation for clerical hire and
printing. The members will suggest
to the legislature that it appoint COM
mittee with an appropriation to COM
plete the codification of the laws and
report to the next general assembly.
The committee appointed by Cover
nor Shafroth has prepared several laws
and amendments to laws which will be
submitted to the legislature. Among

A Definite Plan Must be Persued

we are in order to get higher prices We
must ask the sugar company for a con-
cession, and this can not be done with
out the growers here offering an in
ducement
In our opinion this plan might be
successful.
If the committee should find from in
vestigation that the sliding scale would
give the grower here higher price.
then let the grower say to the sugar
company, "You give US the sliding
scale and we will get contracts for.
say 5000 acres of beets." The com
pany may be willing to make spe-
cial sliding scale for this section since
it is outside of the So cent territory,
based upon the higher freight rate.
This is suggested simply to show that
it is necessary to work on some plan,
and have some object in view.
1t should not be at all necessary to
antagonize the sugar company as a
mutual benefit can be worked out of
the whole situation.

vessel will be fitted for flagship and
her complement will consist of 85 Off
GERS and l,O3O men.
The keel of the Arkansas was laid
last January and at present the ship is
about 60 per cent completed.

Laws to Make Railway Toe theMark

Golden, Colo. That Golden if poss-
ible to force the Denver & Inter. Noun
tain Railroad company rescind. or re-
gret, its action in increasing passenger
rates month ago, is indicated by the
provisions of number of ordinances
introduced in the city council. Com
pliance with some of the new laws will
also be handicap to the Denver &
Northwestern electric, which, it is be-
lieved here, is owned and operated by
the same people az is the Inter-Moun-
tain.
One of the proposed ordinances will
compel the placing of tracks on the ex-
act grade established by the city for
any street or alley upon which they
run or cross. Failure to comply shall
be termed a misdemeanor., punishable
by fine of 500 for each aud every
day of violation after 10 days notice
has been given. Provision is also
made that in case of continued failure
to comply with order, the city council
shall have power to tear up any tracks
not on the established grade.
Another ordinance limits the speed of
all cars to six miles an hour within a
certain described district within the city
limits. This district includes all sec
tions traversed by the Denver & North
western. but does not extend to the
right of way of the Colorado & South
ern.
An ordinance had been prepared pro-
hibiting obstruction of street crossings
by trains or cars for more than five
minutes at one time, providing a fine
for violation, bnt it was discovered that
such law has been in effect for several
years.
All these proposed ordinances will
come up for final passage at the next
meeting, early in February, and there
is no doubt of passage, as the alder
men are of one mind. At that meeting
the city attorney will have ready for
first reading an ordinance requiring all

Cheerful up to Time He fell in Stupor

Charles James Hughes, Jr., United
States senator from Colorado, died at
ll:l5 Wednesday forenoon at his home,
1900 Grant street in Denver. He was
unconscious for 24hours before he died.
All of the members of the family were
at the bedside when the end came.
Myelitis, or softening of the spine.
accompanied by malignant anemia. was
the cause of the death of Senator
Hughes. He had been i'll since last
September aud neither his splendid vi
tality nor the best medical attention
were able to check the progress of the
disease. Senator Hughes made brave
fight for his life, remaining cheerful
and hopeful up to the time that he lost
consciousness.
On October % he left Denver for
Honolulu. hoping that the climate there
would prove beneficial. He returned to
Denver on November 26 and has been
steadily sinking since that time. The
real condition of Senator Hughes was
at his own request kept from the public.
With Senator Hughes when he died
ware his wife, his three sons, Garald,
Berrian and Lafayette Hughes, his
daughter. Mrs. W. W. Woodruff, toget-
her with Mr.. w. w. Woodruff, Mrs.
Gerald Hughes and Clyde w. Turnbull,
for 20 years legal associate of Sena-
tor Hughes.
The Uuited States senate has lost one
of its most brilliant members in the
death of Senator Hughes. Although
he had been member of the senate
but two years, Hughes was already re-
cognized as a man from whom big
things were to be expected and his
friends are confident that he would
have been the minority leader of the

Stitches Taken in Heart

What is considered the most remark
able piece of surgery in the history OF
the country is the stitching of cut
heart in a man who will live to tell
that his heart was punttured for near
ly a half inch.
His name is Harry Brenel of Calves
ton, Texas, IS years of age. who was
stabbed with pocketknife by a wo-
man eerly Saturday night. A wound
an inch and half long was made in
the base of the heart. He was hurried
to the hospital and the surgeons took
l6 stitches in the cut and declared his
chances were one in thousand for re-
covery.
About "a hours after the inliction of
the wound, the physicians said he would
recover.

"Are we to have the Campbell Ex-
perimental FARM" is the question
that is being debated upon by the Sedg-
wick County Fair Association and
other co-workers. This is PROPOSE
ton that every citizen and land owner
in Sedgwick county should look into
thoroughly and then do their respec-
tive part to get the farm for Sedgwick
county.
Mr.. Campbell requires that $40 acres
of land be furnished, on which he agrees
to erect suitable buildings and make in
to model farm.
1 Sedgwick county has long been
hoping for one of these farms and at
last Mr.. Campbell and his company
have agreed to place such farm here,
provided the land holders will do their
part. You can readily see what it will
mean to the country and to you as a
land owner.
The funds for this enterprise must be
raised by popular subscription and the
Sedgwick County Fair Association has
figured that if each land owner in the
county will contribute ten cents for
each acre he owns we can easily secure
this farm.
Now this is a small amount of money
and there is no reason why each and
every land owner in the county should
not contribute the above mentioned
sum, and if this is done the Campbell
experimental farm for Sedgwick county
is an assured fact.
All land owners will be benefited
alike by the installation of this farm,
and it will be much better for each one
to pay little and have share in the
good work than for few to meet
all the expense and the rest reap the
benefits that have been brought by
those few. Take hold and pull with

freight trains to be brought into the
city with the engine ahead of the train,
instead Of backing in, as has always
been the Intea.Mountain custom.
Golden people have long contented that
this practice is dangerous, as there is
heavy down grade into town, and
the result would doubtless be disastrous
should cars break loose from the train.
Other measures calculated to preserve
the peace and salty of the Golden
citizens are being considered, and the
company will be forced to live up to
the minutest detail of the provisions
unless reasonable passenger rates are
restored.

1--WE contend that rates are ample,
but that the expense Cooperation is ex.
gessive; that wages are not too high,
but that, as material, equipment and
plant fail to give adequate results.
We plead for the Introduction of scien-
tific management, under which the
railroads shall get 100 cents for every
dollar expended"
In opening his arguments for the
shippers of the Atlantic seaboard. be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion L. D. Brandeis of Boston thus pre-
scented the fundamental reason, in his
mind, why freight rates should not be
advanced as proposed by the railroads.
Mr.. Brandeis declared that no rail
way company operating in official class
ification territory had introduced into
any of its developments the principles
of semitic management. He believed
these PRINCIPLES were as properly
applicable to railroads as to any other
industrial enterprise.
Attention was directed to the state.
ment Of the railroad officials that the
proposed advance would contribute to
the operating income of the railway
in eastern territcry only 81, ,OO0, 900.
This sum-" said Mr.. Brandeis, sis
little more than 3 per cents or the ag'
gregate operating expenses of these
railroads. 1t cannot be seriously doubt
ed that if determined, cooperative eft,
forts was made by these railroads tc
reduce operating costs it would be
nd possible to affect saving of
p5f cent even without the aid of scien'
tific management.
He pointed out that no actual CO.
operation existed among the roads witt
a view to reducing the cost of any par
ticular operation. If there were CO.
operation among the railroads, the
highest measure of efficiency could bt

Girl Christens Navy's New Monster

Philadelphia, -Splashed with the ira
ditional bottle of Champagne. the bat
tleship Arkansas, the largest warship
ever constructed in this country. was
launched from the yards of the New
York ship building company. Miss
Mary Macon. daughter of Representa-
Macon of Arkansas, was the sponsor.
There was noticeable the absence of
an official delegation representing the
state of Arkansas. The failure of Gov
ernor Donaghey of other official rep
resentatives to attend was due to a
controversy between the governor and
the navy department over the date of
the launching, the governor wanting to
have the date postponed SO the state
could make adequate arrangements for
sending an official party.
There was, however, quite large
delegation of Arkansans present. 1t
included Representative and Mrs. Macon
and other members of the Arkansas
congressional delegation. The navy
was officially represented by Beekman
Winthrop, assistant secretary, a long
list of rear admirals and other officers.
There was doubt in the minds of some
of the spectators as to the contents of
the bottle Mrs. Macon held. Some
people in Arkansas wanted her to use
water from her native state, but she
said she would use whatever the ship
building company gave her.
When the workmen had finished saw
ing and hammering away the keel
blocks, the great hull quivered and slow
ly began to move, Miss Macon crashed
the bottle against the receding prov,
and exclaimed:
Il christen thee, Arkansas.

whole soul into his work in congress,
giving up all of his legal practice and
II life had been spared he would un'
doub ubtedly have won the same place ir
Warrington that he gained for himself
in le legal world.
Wv senators can show as good rec.
ord As that made by Hughes tor the
first two years of his term. Quiet and
uusfruming to a marked degree the
junior senator from Colorado had gone
to Washington without any loudly
heralded announcements. But the sen.
ators and the country at large were
soon made to recognize that they had
a man of no mean ability to deal with
in tAs quiet, studious senator from
Colorado. He early proved himself the
equd of any of the older senators in
extsmporaneous debate, signally rout-
ing the formidable Senator Bail, y of
Texas, long a terror in senatorial de-
bats, in an argument on the interstate
co1hinerce bill. The overthrow OF
Baqn hR the quiet senator from Col
orsdo, whol was considered mere
youpgster among his colleagues, was
hailed with delight in the Eastern pres,
and from that day Senator Hughes was
a marked man and his speeches COM
manded the interest of his colleagues
and of the press of the entire country.
