.In the Eastern states we have
suffered from the fact that the own

of the railways have been permitted
to fall into the same hands. What
havoc such a combination can work
was. shown when,3 during the anthra-

ton of the country we're threatened
with q winter coal famine, which
would have caused disaster as great
as those of the civil war. The effo-r
to remedy this state of affairs by
government action, after 1t had been
permitted to arise because Of gov
eminent inaction, was necessarily
fraught with hardship and suffering
for many innocent holders of secur.

the United States government to pre-

coal fields given over to private de-

simple as possible, and on such terms
as to guarantee an ample profit to

JOHN THRoNroN MARRIED

When John NJ. Thornton left Glen
wood about ten days ago for trip to
Colorado Springs and Denver no one,
not even his relatives, suspected that
he would commit matrimony before his
return. John is one of those quiet, re-
served fellows to whom a glance from
a pretty woman is as the beams of the
midsummer sun upon cabbage plant
in dry garden-it willis him, and how
he ever got up courage enough to pop
the question is surprise to his friends.
But he did it, and the lady who made
him happy by saying "yes" was Miss
Kate Mitchell of Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Thornton has lived in Glenwood
for several years at the home Of his
sister Mrs. 8. ] Lowe, but will now
settle with his bride at Alta Vista,
Iowa, where he has a good farm.

ANOTHER DANCE ROW

The following account of a dance
fight over a Glenwood maiden appeared
in yesterday mornings issue of the
Grand Junction News:
Dazzled by the rapturous beauty OF
vivacious nineteen-year-old Geno Ober
to, voluptuous Italian belle from
Glenwood Springs, Carl Fink, aged %
years, son of prominent Montrose at
torney, and two Grand Junction youths
said by the police to be Pearl Allen
and Pug Morgan, came to blows inside
the Auditorium at the public dance
shortly before midnight last night aud
in settling their difference just outside
the hall, Fink was stabbed three times
| in the back. He is in the care Of ply
sic.ans, but his wounds are not believed
to be dangerous. His father was phoned
at Montrose and left at once in an au-
tomobile for this city.
Eye witnesses to the affair declare
that Fink put up game fight against
his assaliants, but that when stabbod
was rendered hors de combat. There
are said to have been seven after Fink
at one. time, Init the police declare that
either Morgan or Allen did the stab
bing.
Fink was able to talk incoherentiy
as his wounds were being washed II

surgeon arrived. "The dirty -

seductive smiles and glances of pretty
Gena Oberto. 1t is said that he arous
ed the enmity of others and he claims
to have "knocked Allen 8 block off in

went outside and is said to have put

new Law ATTACKED
INHIGhEST COURT
Telephone Company Fighting
0regon's Initiative and
Referendum Law
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, Sept. 24.-The initia
tive and referendum probably will be
the subject of a decision, with far
reaching consequences, by the supreme
court of the United States during the
approaching term.
The question of the constitutionality
of these expedients of government
forms the basis of suit between the
state of Oregon and the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph company.
Attacks Initiative Law.
The case originated in the company's
challenge of law enacted by the Ore
gon legislature under the initiative
plan, by which a tax of per cent was
placed upon the gross earnings of tele
graph and. telephone companies.
Taking the position that the initia
tive and referendum. which are cou
pied in the Oregon law. are ineonsist
ent with the republican form of gov
ernment guaranteed by the constitutions
of the United States, the company re
fused for four years to pay the assess
ments.
The state thereupon brought suit
There was a hard fight in the tria
court, but the decision was favorabl.
to the law. A Ike conclusion was
reached by the supreme court of the
