From present indications Colorado
soon will have no state civil service
commission.
Charles R. Brock, member of the
commission, yesterday morning sent a
communication to each of the other
members of the board and to the secra-
tary suggesting that they tender their
designations to Governor Shafroth at
once.
Mr.. Brock said he took this course
because of the failure of the legislature
to appropriate fund to conduct the
work of tho commission. He has al
ready sent his resignation to the COVER
nor.
The other members of the commission
are Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker and Hen
ry Van Kleeck. Mr.. Van Kleeck at
present is in Paris. Mrs. Decker said
that she probably would not resign until
the return to the of Governor Shafroth,
and it became certain that no funds
could be obtained to cordu ct the office
at the capital.
Herbert Cornell, secratary of the
says he will not resign,
until his back salary of three months
has been paid. The recent legislature
failed to make an appropriation to COW
er the salary of the secratary, and for
that reason Treasurer Kenehan refuses
to allow the claim.
The legislature appropriated only $500

may have are now recognized by
authorities in such matters, As due to

care of the boys on the part of the
parents. Schools cannot handle the
boy problem successfully unless money
is spent. special ir structors employed
and much time devoted to the welfare
OF the boys. 1t is manifestly unjust to
lay at the door of the school short
comings, bad habits and bad conduct of
boys when such proposition should be
handled primarily at home. School
instructors are not responsible when all
their working hours are taken with
other duties. when no money is forth
coming to equip gymnasium. when in
many cases the bad examples are set
by older brothers or even fathers in
the homes. How can q father who
uses liquor or tobacco expect that his
son will abstain? How can Society
hope to cure social ills when no pre-
ventive measures are taken. The
money spent in the up keep of jails and
feeding of prisoners and criminal trials
had much better be spent in preventing
boys from acquiring bad habits, pro-
viding them clean places of amusement
and in hiring special instructors to look
after the physical development of the
boys. "As the twig is bent 80 the tree
is inclined" will always be true. THE
sins of the fathers will be visited to
the sons even UNITS the fourth genera
ton was true before it was ever
written in our Bibles. Show me a fa-
ther who fails in governing his boys at
home and then transfers the burden to
the school, and will show you man
totally unaquainted or oblivious to the
method used in juvenile court or the
best reform schools. 1t is welcome
fact that people are more alive than
ever on the question of child training.
The best minds of today are working
on the problems presented and notable
results have been and will be attained.

for travelling expenses. A sum of over
half the amount, it is said, the COM
mission owes for printing and other in
cidentals. This leaves scarcely $3.50 for
the commission to run its Office the
coming two years.
Mr.. Brock said that he was disguised
with the action of che legislature in ig-
oring the commission.
''The civil service law is still opera
tive" he said land can't understand
why, if the assembly wanted to kill the
commission, they did not repeal the
law. As it stands at present the COM
mission can be of no service to the state
and see no reason for continuing on a
deadletter board"
Mrs. Decker also has told the COVER
nor that she would resign from that
body if an appropriation was denied.
The commission believes that salary of
the secratary can be collected in spite
Of the rebuff from the legislature.
The civil service law provides that a
salary not exceeding $1,000 be paid to
the secratary for his services.
Secretary Cornell, says that he will
sue the state for the salary due him.
If the present commission and secra-
tary resign there will be no state civil
service in Colorado unless Governor
Shafroth appoints another.

Holiday

Yesterday Julesburg enjoyed a double
holiday. Campbell Bros Circus enter
tained all day and most of the night
and at $50 in the afternoon a special
trair arrived carrying a bunch of
boosters" from Lincoln, Nebr. They
were met by a string of automobiles
over block long, driven around the
town and surrounding country for fif-
teen minutes. Everybody on board the
special seemed to be happy and the big
brass band tore off few stunts while
the boosters were being driven about
the city.
The most conspicuous man aboard the
special was Buster David who balanced
himself on the middle of the rear plat
form as the train pulled out and led in

An Evening of Pleasnre

A ception was given last Saturday
night by the ninth grade in honor of the
eight grade at the home of Francis
Rook.
After everyone tired of games and
music, the girls assembled IN one room
and the boys in another, in order tc
choose partners for supper. This was
done by putting ribbons of various
colors through the door a boy taking
hold of one end of the ribbon and girl
the other end. There the delicious
refreshments were served, which con-
sisted of ice cream and cake, to which
all did amply justice. All departed at
late hour.
The Eighth grade gave a reception in
honor of the Freshman last Wednesday
night at the home of Miss Bessie Will
son. 1t was enjoyed and appreciated
by everyone in the ninth grade and will
long be remembered.

Standard OIL Dissolved by Court

Washington. May l5.-The supreme
court Of the United States hand
cd down its long awaited decision in
the Standard Oil dissolution case. The
court holds that the company is illegal
and must be dissolved.
The Standard Oil suit is considered
the most imortant corporation litigation
of recent years in its bearing upon f.
nancial affairs and its Interpretation Of
the Sherman antitrust law.
The decision was read by Chef JUS
tice White.
The suit which called forth Mondays
decision was instituted in 1906 in the
United States circuit;court for the East
ern district of Missouri. The immedi-
ate object was to dissolve the Standard
Oil company Of New Jersey.
The government claimed that two
sections Of the Sherman antitrust law
had been violated. The first section
reads - follows;
Every contract, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or conpir-
acy, in restraint of trade or commerce
among the several states, or with for
eign nations. 10 hereby declared illegal.
The second section reads;
Every person (which was suhse-
quently explained in the statute to in
clude corporations) who shall :monopo-
lize, or combine or attempt to monopo-
lie or combine or conspire with any
other person or persons, to monopolize,
any part of trade or commerce among
the several states, or with foreign M.
tions, shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor."
The circuit court held that the reor-
ganization of the Standard Oil company

The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. l.. Volz who reside 10 miles
southeast of Julesburg, she has many
friends in Julesburg and vicinity who
wish her happiness. The groom is a
prosperous young man following the

city he has prepared home for his
bride to which they will go after a

Of New Jersey in 1880 was not only
violation of the first section of the act,
which referred TO restaints of trade. but
also of the second section, which applied
to monopolizing.
The court then preceded to evolve
plan to remedy the situation. 1t en-
tered . decree enjoining the Standard
OIL company Of New Jersey from ex-
ercising any eoatrol. by reason of its
stock ownership. over subsidiary COM
panies. Furthermore it enjoined these
subsidiary companies from paying any
dividends to the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey. 1t put provision in
the decree to enjoin any possible eva
sion of the decree by the organization
of similar combination or of the con-
veyance of the property to one of the
defendants. Unless the defendants
should sever the relations and cease the
combination within thirty days, they
were to be enjoined from engaging in
interstate commerce until they did
cease the combination.
From the circuit court the case was
brought to the supreme court of the
United States. The record laid before
the higher tribunal probably was the
largest ever prepared in an American
case. The petition. pleadings.
testimony, opinions and decree costitut-
ed twenty large volumes of more than
500 pages each.
The case was first argued before the
supreme court in March, 1910, but 1t was
restored to the docket for reagument.
The case was heard the second tine
in January, 1911, the latter time before
full bench.

MONITOR BUILT BY ERICSSON
 SAYS BEDELI

New Haven. Feb. 21-One of the builders of the famous war craft him. self, and one of the few men now alive who had an active part in its construction, New Haven man Charles A. Bedeli of 903 Howard ave- nue. is in a position to give testimony which may end the old controversy which has again cropped out al Washington as to who was the real inventor of the Monitor, of Civil War fame. MT. Bedell, now in his seven Ly-
 ixth year, had charge of the wood work in the construction of the crafy which revolutionized marine warfare and any of the critics who seek to de- tract from the honor of Captain John Ericsson by claiming that Theodore R. Timby was the original inventor had better not say so within hearing of MT. Bedell. for he is still a husky vigorous defender of Ericsson.
 "I want to say one thing straight from the shoulder" he declared last night.
 "I handled every drawing of that Monitor from head to keel and no body but John Ericsson ever though, out the idea of such a vessel. This fellow Timmy got up some turre! which had to be placed on battle ship and which could only be turned as the ship turned, but Ericsson first invented the revolving turret and put it into operation"

TWO IMPORTANT
 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Through Representative Mccall who introduced the Canadian reciprocity bill In the House. President Taft has made two important announcements. viz.. that he will call a special session Of Congress if the Senate fails to act upon the reciprocity agreement. and that if at such special session any tar if bill not in accord with the Repub- lican protective principle is passed. he win veto it.
 As the present Congress expires on March 4th which is near at hand, as the Senate has before it several inn portant appropriation bills the Sullo- way pension bill. the Loriner case the permanent tariff board bill. and the resolution providing for the popu- lar election of Senators. and as debate is unlimited in that body. the stand pat opponents of reciprocity appear to have the matter well in hand. It is easily within their power to compel an extra session.
 If ts by no means a certainty that the Democratic House. if called in extra session. will take up the mat ter of tariff revision. The plan is, as we understand. for the Ways and Means committee to give the summer to the preparation of tariff measures for presentation to Consress at the regular session in Decen,br. Should Congress-. however. pass any tariff measure during an extra session. President Taft now asserts. throueh Mir. Mccall that he will test it by the Republican protective principle and approve or veto in accordance with the result of the test. That principle. according to the National Republican platform of 1908. is protec- tion to the amount of difference in cost of production. with "a reasonable profit"-and no more. To avoid a veto. to override which a two-thirds majority is required. Congress need only apply the principle referred to. which would probably effect large re- auctions in the Aldrich tariff and largely lessen the cost of living.
 Tn that event. the organ of the American Protective Tariff League. which declares. in view of the Canad- Ian reciprocity agreement. that the Taft Administration has "gone Demo- craticr. will probably became even more disrrurtled and still more in- -.Ineo 10 denouhce the Auministrs ton policy as "the limit in added poli- -tics"..

Especial from United Press.

St Petersburg, Feb. 21-Disturb- ances almost amounting to civil war are prevalent in the plague infested regions of Manchuria, today, due to the closing of nearly all industries as a result of the plague.
 Thousands of unemployed have turned bandits and many villages have been footed. The Chinese troops have been beaten in several engagements with rioters and have been forced to be on the defensive
 If the plague is not checked soon. t is believed, the whole Manchurian district will be engaged in disorders unprecedented in it's history. There are no accredited cures from experi- ments made with toxin recently.
