his home and Preside.

was visible even from the business Of

Standing at a window, Lincoln had
studied it more than once through a

DENVER LETTER

Denver, Oct. 2.-Because of the in
of democratic legis-
lation and executive acts large num-
Der of the departments of the state
government are tied up and practic-
ally imperative on account of suits
pending against them in the various
courts of the state. These suits were
started for the purpose of correcting
Democratic errors.
In the first place the Colorado Bar
association announces that it will
test the legality of the new Court Of
Appeals through a suit in the proper
court 1t will be remembered that the
Democratic majority of the senate
and Governor Shafroth became en-
gagged in a factional fight over this
court and failed to follow the law in
its creation.
Through an error of Democratic
legislative officials the internal i'm
provement fund is not obtainable for
road and bridge improvements and
two suits are now pending having for
their object the releasing of those
funds.
The $4,000 appropriated to defend
Colorado water users against outside
suits is also in jeopardy through the
wording of the bill making the ap-
preparation and a suit is being start
ed to release the fund.
A suit against the state board of
health with special reference to the
state board of medical examiners
is pending and has tied up the funds
of that board. all because Governor
shafroth insisted in appointing poll
ticians instead of doctors on the
board.
The governors appointment of F.
s. Hoag as a member of the railroad
commissioner when the people elect
cd Sheridan S. Kendall, caused a suit
to start which resulted in the COM
plete suspension of work by that
commission.
