ingress was easy.
Evidently this shutter was battered

the men must have made considerable
noise in getting in and a great many
are wondering where the night marshal
was while all this racket was going on.
Once in the building the thieves
went to the cabinet where the best
goods were kept and helped them
selves to three suits, or rather taking
the coats and trousers and leaving the
vests Then they took some extra
trousers, the best in the house, at least
three Stetson hats, several pairs of silk
socks, three or fou, pairs of shoes,
several shirts and lot Of collars and
neckties, apparently packed the booty
in the suit cases, left by the hole
through which they entered and disap

earth had opened and swallowed them
up.
The theft was not discovered until
Mr.. Silver opened the store yesterday
morning. Officers were at once noti-
fed and Immediately got busy on the
case, but thus far no arrests have bean
made and neither is there any clue

GOVERNORS LAND CONVENTION

The mid summer meeting of the
Colorado Editorial association was a
success in every particular. 1t Was
largely attended and a great amount
of enthusiasm was shown. The people
OF Idaho Springs accredited themselves
well and gave every editor pleasant
entertainment. The principal feature
of the entire meeting was the discus
sion over the proposition of the editors
initiating an amendment to the state
constitution changing the present man
ner OF advertising initiated and referr-
ed laws and constitutional amendments.
The entire matter was referred to the
executive committee with instructions
to report at the January meeting.
Those who are claiming that the
coming Public Lands convention is not
"a political affair should compare the
resolution passed by the Eighteenth
General Assembly authorizing the call
| ing of the convention with the call
issued by Governor Shafroth for thc
convention. The original resolution
excluded no one from attending or be-
ing a delegate to the convention. Gov
ernor Shafroth in his call, and those
who are in charge of the convention,
have excluded all who might represent
what they are pleased to term the gov
ernment's policy In other words, the
original resolution provided for a con-
vention to discuss the public land ques.
tion in the west. Under its wording,
those who represent all policies could
have attended and participated in the
discussion. Under the call as sent out
by Governor Shafroth, qualifications
were placed on membership which prac-
tically excludes every person who is IN
any manner connected with the govern
ment or who might represent the ad-
ministration s policy on the questions
at issue.
Again, those who are in charge OF
the convention are openly boasting
that they did not intend to invite Pres
ident Taft or any of the federal Off
cials, but they have invited former
Secretary Ballinger, and number OF
other men known to be against Presi
dent Taft's administrative policy OF
National resources.
If the convention is to be non-parti
san and for the final benefit of the
west why not invite representatives
from all classes.
The enactment of the law increasing
the number of members of the National
House of Representatives, and giving
Colorado four, has caused revival Of
the discussion that perhaps an extrs
session of the legislature will be called
to treat with various pending sub
Ijects. Those subjects are: The cleo
ton of United States Senator; The
confirmation by the senate of Governor
Shafroth' appointees to the court oi
appeals; and, the redistrcting of the
state congressionally. At the presen
time Colorado elects one congressman
from the first district, one from til,
second, and one at large. Under he
new allotment she will have to elect
two at large unless the state is redis
tricted. Already pressure is bein:
brought to bear on Governor Shafrotl
to convene his assembly for the settle
J ment of these three questions. Den
yer, with her population, can secure
two of the congressman any time sh'
} 50 ds'irs'.
