Colorado's New Court of Appeals.
(By Alya SWAMI

Realizing that the present court
is losing time, the last legislature
enacted a law creating what is
known as the Court of Appeals and
declared that the court should exist
for period of four years. The
court is composed of five judges
not more than three of whom shall
belong to the same political party.
Gov. Shafroth recently made the ap'
pointments to this new court and
the court has agreed to begin Its
sittings the first of October.
Any new departure in Colorado
warrants a certain amount of dis
cussion as to the legality OF the
organization and of its original pro
ceedings. Such is true in this case
Politics control the wording of the
law and force the adoption of
section which provided that the sen
ate should confirm the appointment
before the court began its sittings
The question is open for debate as
to whether the new court appointed
by Gov. Shafroth must be confirmed
before it is legal or not. Attorneys
of equal mental callibre differ on
the questions. 1t is not the object Of
this article to discuss that phase
of the question, but to present the
facts in connection with the work
of the court and what it shall have
to do.
The law creating the new court
proyides that upon the first sitting
of the court, the supreme court Is
authorized to transfer to the new
court for hearing and determination
.uch civil cases pending before the

The Grand Junction News is the
latest to fall for a Rohrback. 1t
had the sterotyped announcement
Tuesday of a grand autumn edition
to be issued, for which A. Rohrback-
er and Coston Carver had been en-
ployed to make the write-ups. These
two have been contracting with
paper in different towns to solicit
personal write-ups-a sort of post
humous obituary-for which they
take sixty per cent of the pay for
soliciting and give the newspaper
forty per cent for publishing. They
canvassed Delta for two weeks and
il is claimed, secured $500 worth of
these personal write-ups, collecting
for the same in advance. OF this,
$500 was theirs to take out of town
for their canvassing. In Montrose
they claimed to have obtained $500
for personal writeups. In each
case a spread edition of the paper
was promised to be printed contain
ing their stuff. So far the editions
have not appeared, but as the Press
of Montrose, the Tribune of Delta
and now the News of Grand juno
ton, have entered into contracts
with these canvassers to print such
editions, they will of course have
to do it. The further fact that they
have received the small end of the
money so collected, will, of course,
compel them to do so, whether
they can afford to do it or not.
The gentlemen mentioned made trips
to this office and personal requests
that the Independent do their work,
bat it did not like the looks of the
bulk of money going out of town
while it be left with the sack of
expense and responsibility to hold.
The Independent has tried on sever
al occasions, TO issue resource edi-
lions that would pay expenses, but
failed The editions were praised
because they brought people and
capital here, but the praise was not
backed up by the funds with which
to pay printers and paper bills and
for cuts with which to illustrate.
But possibly we didn't have any
good solicitors.

Fire Causes Slight Delay
in Operating Somerset Mines

Some alarm was spread the first
of this week by reports of fire in
the mines at Somerset. The situa-
ton was serious Monday but the
fire was under control by Tuesday.
The burning section being at the
foot of the stope, made it easy to
flood that part without submerging
the working levels higher up, which
enabled the mine to operate with
but short delay.
The prompt arrival of the relief
car from Pueblo with the helmets
and oxygen tanks, enabled the
crew to fight the fire and get it
quickly under control. No one
was injured in the mine or in the
fight to subdue the flames.

Hinduism.

Self remuneration is one OF the
features of Hinduism. A writer
saws: "The ascetic life is the natural
fruit of the pessimism Of India. In
no other country is such transcend
ent merit attached to modification
of the flesh. Ascetics press their
martyrdom to almost incredible
limits. They will pass their days
outstretched upon a bed Of spikes.
They will hold up an arm till it
withers in the socket. Literally
they treat the body as though it
were a slave. The devotee is salut-
ed everywhere as maharaja. Men
Of wealth and position constantly
in their declining years resign their
possessions to their heirs and wait
for death in nakedness and poverty
by the Ganges at Benares. Nay, it
is no uncommon thing that young
men, the products Of our universe
ties, should relinquish their inter
ests and their ambitions and join
the wandering army of devotees
who, literally in sackcloth and
ashes, seek grace in an unending
round of pilgrimages."

in the political affairs Of South Car

that the Governor of South Carolina
has, to say the least of it, taken cir
cuitous route to attack Mr. Fielder,
his allegation, as mysterious and

seven years ago. If there has been
anything in the Governors position,
he was recreant in his duty in not
having given the people of his State
the benefit Of his information be-
fore now, when he suddenly springs
an attack on Col Fielder in a general
fusillade in which he assaults at the
same time many prominent citizens
of South Carolina.
Gov BleaSe seems to nave q way OF
running amuck, ,ssnd that he has done
so in this instance no one who knows
Col Fielder will doubt.

BLEASE DENOUNCED
BY ATTORNEY FIELDER.
"A BRIBE TAKER AND BRIBE
G1vER"-AGENT LIQUOR HOUSES
.-sOME OTHER UGLY CHARGES.

The Atlanta Constitution Satur-
day published most sensational op-
en- letter addressed To Cole l.
Blease" and signed by Thomas b
Fielder. This letter follows one OF
a more general character addressed
to many newspapers.
Charges of the gravest nature are
made against the Governor of South
Carolina. and he is challenged to go
into the United States courts for
redress. Two letters signed Cole +,
alleged to have been addressed to a
LIQUOR establishment, one asking for
pay for services and the other ac-
knowledging the receipt Of $500
and expressing doubt of Hubs
reliability in money matters, are
printed. 1t is distinctly shocking to
South Carolinians to have coward
or thief applied to the Governor
of this State.
While the matter has been pub
lished in a responsible newspaper,
we do not feel warranted in repro
ducing the language conveying GRIM
inal charges until there is more light
shed. Mr. Fielder should be made
to prove his charges. or else suffer
the penalties for gross libel.
