DOES ANYONE know what the
state legislature is doing in behalf of
the people? Ism It it fact that we all
know that they are doing nothing
simply nothing. So far as the Post
is concerned we have little complaint
to make for we have long been of the
opinion that the state of Colorado was
cursed with lot of laws which should
never have been enacted, and as for
the election of United States sena-
tor, why that is really of Importance
only to the fellow who is fortunate
enough to secure the toga AS for any
good he can or will do the people, why
that is negligible quantity. But we
must not overlook the fact that the
men who make up the Colorado legis-
lature promised the people prior to the
last election that they would enact GER
tain laws. Are they making any effort
to keep that promise? They are not.
1t is also known that the candidates
two years ago, and more especially
the democratic candidates, made very
strong prediction pledges to the peo-
pie but after election they shamelesslv
violated those pledges and the people
were told to go to. Just keep your eve
on that democratic bunch in the leg;s-
lature and when they are through and
ready to go home ask yourself how
much good they have done.

1T MAY EASE the conscience to

100000 BLAZE
At BALL PARK


the wooden approaches has often been
prophesied. Fire Chief Croker has re-
peatedly called attention to the danger.
The scenes at the grounds on Wednes-
day when the season opened, led OBJ
servers to believe that a complaint
should be lodged with the fire COM
missioner and several of the news
papers urged the danger Of tremendous
loss Of life in cas- of a blaze. On the
occasion of the opening game, partic-
ularly, fans mad no effort to keep
papers and other loose and inlammable
material in hand, but let it go with the
wind.
In the opinion of members of the
team, the burning of the grand stand,
spick n span in it's Easter raiment
of paint, marks the passing Of wooden
grand stands at the Polo ground for
all time. Before breakfast Manager
McGraw began q long consultation as
to future plans with Secretary Gray
and John T. Brush, the owner of the
team. President Brush has often de-
clared that he would not be satisfied
until he had a park seating 100, 900 per-
sons. The only thing that kept him
from undertaking the entire recon
struction of the stadium last winter SC
as to get the 100, 900 seats was the fact
that the grounds do not belong to the
| club, and he did not feel justified In
| going to the enormous outlay under
these conditions.

While this paper finds itself n opposition to many o. the conclusions

The Stars Suggestions as to Changes
In the Proposed New City Charter

l. Provision should be made in the ballot for the affirmative act OF
the voter, either in supporting or rejecting the charter
p The law should specify a minimum below which acceptance should
not fall. That is to say, the participation of voters at such special
charter election should be at least 40 per cent OF the vote cast at
previous general municipal election.
g. Sec. H.. paragraph 5, contains two ip8fmities:
tl The provision reading "noC Shall he vote on any question in
which he is personally interested" seems to legaize certain
acts which are now Contrary 10 public policy, namely, con-
tracing with the ,ehr.
Cbl In the same paragraph the bonds of the commissioners are
to be apprQkd "by the commission" In other words, the
COMMISSIONERS may pass upon their own bonds. This power
shoudFbe reposed elsewhere.
A. Parag1hh 6 is objected to because of the uncertainty therein. The
,%f the purposes of the change is I to have the laws assembled in
= compact form. Under this paragraph, to define the powers and
privileges and to ascertain the duties and obligations OF the COM
mission, it is essential TO study not only the new charter, but all the
old laws affecting the city.
5. The principal objection to the charter is the fact that it contains no
adequate check upon the commission. The commission may be
directing its course. He has no veto power He is one Of five. The
voes Of three Except in certain cases. decide the course to be
pursued.
The commission will vote the appropriations, and then direct
expenditure of the money.
1t is apparently left free TO expend, as it shall direct, the ap-
preparations which it may make for street and highway purposes,
and other matters falling within the power Of The present Board OF
Works.
1t appropriates money for fire purposes, and then directs its
expenditure (see sec. vi, par 81
1t has the same power with regard to the police tse sec
VII, par 81
There should be a check upon the commission.

the first time in It's church's annals TO
the acceptance of men Of other de-
nominations.
Raymond Pearce's Statement.
That the synod will receive an appeal
from the Presby,ery's ruling Is certain
from the statement made by Raymond
Pearce, of Montclair ana Newark, one
of the most prominent lay delegates to
the Newark Presbytery.
There is no doubt that DIR. Dewson's
appointment to the First Presbyterian
Church pastorate was a violation Of
the law of the church. and there is M
doubt that It will be appealed and pos
sibly revoked by the synod when IL
meets in October. l could not be pres
emit at the meeting Of the Presbytery
at which DR.. Dawson was selected; If
l had been there 1 would have stood
with DR.. Inglis against his appoint
ment. / do not think that anyone OBJ
jects to DR.. Dawson's filling hat pulpit,
but there Is a great cal of sentiment
behind the law Of the Presbytery which
bars n preacher from a stated pastorate
until !. has come into h church.
DR.. Chapman did not care to discuss
the matter beyond his admission that
the committee of which he was head
committed an ~irregularity under tech
meal church law In advising the seiec-
ton of DIR. Dawson for a stated term
He seemed to think that the members
of the church at large would make no
protest. even If Dawson continues in
the pulpit of the old First Presbyte-
rian Illegally until { he synod meets.
"Then I that the higher body
will refer the irregularity back to the
Newark Presbytery. I assume that boz
fore that time a way will be found to
make DIR. Dawson's passionate perfectly
regular" But how DR.. Chapman would
not venture to say
DIR. Dawson Not Worried.
AS for DR.. Dawson, he kept on NOV
ing his household goods into the First
Presbyterian parsonage, at 1923 Broad
street, today. and referred the reporter
10 his DID friend, J. p. Dusenberry, of
the Public Service Corporation, who is
a very prominent member of the church
II don't think DIR. Dawson a any
thing to worry about In this contro-
versy,' said Mr.. Dusenberry. I'm not
discussing the legality Of his appoint
ment yet, but / think II very probable
that he will serve his stated supply
for one year"

OPPOSES MARRYING PARsoN'
Supreme Court Asked to Revoke Hun.
nicutt's License in Washington


Washington, Sept 6.-An odd ques-
ton was raised before the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia to-
day when the Rev. William |. McKen-
ney, pastor of the Wesley Methodist
Episcopal church, laid formal com
plant before the chief justice and
asked that the license of G.. j. S. Hun
nicutt, known locally as "the Marry
ing Parson," to perform the marriage
service, be cancelled.
Mr.. Hunnicutt declares himself head
of the Peoples Non-Sectarian church,
but the Methodist minister charges
that he has never been ordaind, has
no church, and never had a congrega
ton, and that his sole clerical func'
ton is reading the marriage service
According to Mr.. Mckinney, Mr. Hun
nicutt has a widespread system fol
advertising his services. railroad EN-
ployes, cabmen and others being used
to steer" couples to his door.
| Between ceremonies Mr.. Hunnicuti
Is a printer and keeps a small shoI
at Seventh and ID streets, N. w. His
home Office however, is directly op
posite the City hall, where marriage
licenses are obtained and most Of the
ceremonies are performed in his OF
fee AS to the non-sectarian church
Mr. Mckinney in his complaint de
clares:
This consisted when organized o.
three other men and then he secured
a lawyer TO get the license to per
form marriage ceremonies"
The license was obtained about
year ago and since then Mr.. Hunni
cult has married many couples

Jersey Poultry Raiser Fills Pillows In
the Same Operation

Cedar Grove, N. J., Sept. S.--Amos
town, has called attention to new
and profitable use Of the vacuum
cleaner. Mr.. Kidder bought one of
the machines the other day for his
wife to use around his home. While
she was cleaning the carpets and re-
novating the curtains Of the sitting
room Mr.. Kidder was in the back yard
dry picking with considerable labor,
the broilers he was to ship to New
York.
To dry pick from fifty to one hun
dred chickens Mr.. Kidder found tire
some task, and as he was thinking
of some way to tighten his labors, he
caught sight of the vacuum cleaner
and he thought how quickly 1t picked
up everything 1t came in contact with.
why should man not pick a
chicken with 1t" said Mr.. Kidder to
himself. "I'll try It,"
He set the machine to grinding in
the kitchen and turned it on full
speed ahead. Then he brought ten
der broiler and began rubbing the
nozzle over It. 1t was a success from
the start and when the chicken was
picked it was so clean that not even
pin feather was left and the SINCE
| ing operation was dispensed with.
Improvement with an inventive gen.
ius like Mr.. Kidder Is only a matter
Of few days. He next turned his
attention to saving the feathers, In
place of the bag to receive the dust,
Mr.. Kidder brought some pillow cas-
ings and tied them to the receiving
end of the tube. Result? The feath-
ers go right into the pillows. and all
that is left to be done after a days
picking is for Mrs. Kidder to remove
soft pillow from the machine and
sew up the end.
1t may be recalled that Mr. Kidder
was the discoverer of the fact that
the man scarecrow in his part of New
Jersey had ceased to cause alarm to
predatory birds and he 1t was who set
up a number of women scarecrows
dressed in hobble skirts and peach
basket hats with excellent results.
This latest discovery Mr.. Kidder
thinks, will tend to reduce the price
OF broilers, as so much labor is saw
ed in preparing them for the market
and also that the price Of feathers is
bound to take tumble.
