WOMAN AT THE HELM.

At Hunnewell, Kas., the old order
has changed, giving place t. the new.
In that hopeful town the suffragists
have triumphed and woman is in
control. A woman is now mayor, a
woman will also be chief of police.
The new mayoress' policy, SO far as
declared, has two chief points. She
favors a bond issue to build city
hall, and she proposes to put the pool
rooms out of business by means of a
high license tax.
1t is a good sign that woman's in
vasion of man-made regime, with its
quota of abuses and shortcomings, is
marked by a spirit not merely re-
formatory but constructive. True, the
older men oppose the new city hall,
and many of the younger ones oppose
her abolition of the poolrooms. But
whether pulling down or building up,
the lady mayoress of Hunneweil ap-
pears to be an official of vigor, char
acter and initiative, and it would not
surprise us if reports from Hume
well, a year hence, made it unmis-
takably a fairer and better town.

Mr.. Block, Except for the training
received in your school,"
The ability to do things is dormant
in most young men and women. Train
ing and knowing how is not all that
is required, but given the training and
desire to climb, results are sure to
follow.
Too many young people have the
unfortunate impression that through
some mysterious way and without any
effort on their part, positions and
promotions will come to them. They
do not realize that advancement is the
result of preparation, hard work, per-
sistence, ambition, and general de-
sire to get along.
Business offers many rich prizes to
the prepared, who are persistent and
who are determined to get ahead.
Young people are quick to take advan-
tage of everything that is to their
self-interest. They are unusually slow,
however, to see the importance of pre-
pairing for advancement after accept
ing a position.
Many see the Importance of this be-
cause experience has taught them.
Only few realize and take advantage
Of the situation at the psychological
moment. Parents, teachers and coun-
selors should not fail to impress the
lesson strongly upon the minds of
young people that there may be an
awakening and due advancement.-

THE EXONERATION OF JUDGE
GREELEY w. WHITFORD.

The house of representatives has
dismissed the charges filed against
Judge Greeley W. Whitford of Den
yer. In this The house acted wisely.
Judge Whitford's action which
brought about the impeachment pro-
ceedings was supported by the su-
preme court of our state and even
the members of the legislature who
criticized him most admitted that he
was strictly within the law and the
lines of his duty. A judge does not
make the laws and is not responsible
for them. He simply construes and
administers them. If the law does
not suit majority of the people, it
should be changed, but as long as the
law exists and the power is conferred
upon the court to enforce, construe
and administer it, the court should be
supported in the administration of
those powers, otherwise, constitutional
government would soon disappear.
The Chieftain knows nothing about
the controversy in question, but it
does know that the action of Judge
Whitford has been supported by both
the judicial and legislative depart
ments of our state government when
a majority of the members of both
departments were Of the opposite po-
litical faith to Judge Whitford. This
alone should convince every fair mind
ed man that the judge was clearly
within the law and the lines Of his
duty in the action that he took. The
sentence he imposed may have been
too severe, but if so this was later
remedied by the judge himself when
he reduced the sentence to what ap-
pears to have been fair and just in
the minds of everybody. All in all,
the incident with its judicial and leg
islative support will have the effect of
increasing the respect for and conf
dence in our courts.-Pueblo Chief

PARTY INVESTIGATING
TT. LEWIS INSTITUTION.

Sunday evening a party of gentle
men arrived on eastern en- route for
Fort Lewis, to inspect the buildings
and plan changes, ETC., in tho arrange
ment such as will be necessary to fit
the school for its new work as an
agricultural college. The party COM
prised Ex-Governor ]. L. Brush of
Greeley, c. A. Lory, president Of the
Colorado Agricultural college at Fort
Collins, and A. A. Edwards, T. M.
Netherton and L. NJ. Taylor AL Of
the college faculty.
After their arrival the party were
taken out in autos by C. E. Herr and
DR.. A. L. Davis, and others, and were
taken care of during the evening by a
committee appointed for that purpose.
This morning the gentlemen went
out over the Southern to Hesperus
where they were met and conveyed to
Fort Lewis. L. C. Jakway, George N.
Raymond and D. F. Boyle accompa-
MED them.
The visitors are here for the pur-
pose of taking over the school for
the state. At present the buildings
are in the hands of care taker,
George Tritz. For some weeks there
has been rumor to the effect that
the state would not take possession
of the school until the controversy in
regard to the coal lands was settled.
Experts say that the site of the Fort
Lewis school rests upon large seams
of coal, and lately the government has
dallied about turning the lands over
to the state, seeking delay on one pre-.
text and another, although this has
not been generally understood.
Since those concerned have refused
to talk, the public has had to be con.
tent with rumor, and until quite re-
Gently the state had to bear the brunt
of the blame for the delay in closing
the transaction. 1t is pleasing news
to all Of US that the matter is to be
settled. The party will remain al
Fort Lewis until tomorrow, returning
to Durango tomorrow night.

PUNISHMENT TO FIT.

An amusing incident is reported by
a western paper, which dilates upon
the ways of womankind at some
length with this occurrence as text.
A woman had her husband brough.
before justice of the peace for GER
tain marital seventies from which she
asked to be protected by the court.
There was danger to the dishes Of the
family cupboard, it appeared, whei.
the husband differed from his wife's
views. The justice at las. bade the
woman herself to impose tie sentence.
She said: "Tom, I sentence you TO
ten days separation from Eae."
Now here is the making of a pretty
romance enough. For all the infelici-
ties of the situation, the hasty wrong
done to the innocuous china, the
threatened catastrophe to the carpets
for 1t does not appear that empty
dishes were in question--this good
woman knew that penalty sufficient
ly severe would be found for her
spouse in enforced absence from his
own fireside. One would like to know
how it all came out.
This is the actual condition under
lying many and many a domestic
tragedy. Love is there and mutual
dependence upon each other for true
comfort, for all that makes human
existence really worth while; and yet
the moment of haste is allowed to
loom larger than the hours of pleas
nntness and separations come where
none need be if little common sense
and such patience and self-control as
one exercises in every other voca-
tion in life were brought to the home
making. The wise woman whose de-
cree is cited here knew that ten days
would suffice to show her husband
what he really had in her, that Of
which he risked the total loss by his
outbreak Of III temper.-Exchangs.

mic sturdiness. 1t is causative, also,
Of indifference to the appeals of po-
litical "cranks." The buster the hands,
the less time for intellectual flights
and yearning for reforms. Wherefore

Of the government.
But, satire aside, what a piteously
myopic policy of craftsmanship this
conservation isl Exclusive of forest
reserves, there is now grand total of
s7,755,449 acres tied up in withdraw
ais. What a vast domain kept idle
and unproductive! What multitude
of splendid opportunities for private
and public aggrandisement in mate
rial wealth kept beyond immediate
reach! What waste of time and tai
entsl
And all this because political hege-
mony is vested in the well-developed
east, which considers the yet remain
ing public land states economic de-
tendencies, whose prodigious natural
resources are to be held in perpetuity
mainly for its own benefit.
Nothing could possibly surpass the
fatuousness of such political policy.
Policy, did l say? Why, it's no pol
icy at all, since it is not founded on
justice. Such methods Of land admin
listration are strongly reminiscent of
the land reservations which William
the Conqueror made in England for
his own and his feudal barons' benefit
after the battle of Hastings, and Oliv-
er Cromwell in Ireland. Inasmuch as
it postpones for an indefinite length
of time the full development Of the
western states, it is suggestive of ex-
preparation of land and opportunities
1t is calculated to create a tenantry
and proletarianism in the very midst
Of prolific wealth.

THE COMMON DRINKING CUP.

There is no difference of opinion
among medical men about the desira-
bility of doing away with the common
drinking cup. 1t is a common carrier
of disease germs and cannot be regu-
lated by commission like other COM
mon carriers. The transfer of such
germs from one person to another
doubtless could be prevented if the
cup were antiseptically cleaned after
each using, but who will do the clean
ing?
The individual drinking cup is
safeguard for those who seek to AVOID
the peril that turks in the common
cup, and the only satisfactory means
of taking drink for the fastidious.
1t can easily be provided by each
person, for there are collapsible pock-
et cups of several patterns on SALE
Only the careful and thoughtful, how
ever, are likely to use such cup,
and children especially are apt to
drink whenever they find cup.
1t would be we'll, therefore, to abol-
ish by law, SO far as it is possible to
do so, the common cup. The New
York board of health has forbidden
the use of common cup after Oct.
1 in any public institution, hotel, the
ater, factory, nall, school, railroad sta
tion or ferry-house. The common cup
III rail DAD cars can be prohibited by
state laws. In the country the way
side spring or well, with its rusty tin
dipper, has given a draught of cold
water to innumerable wayfarers and
has poetic associations. Can it be
abolished?
While the lawmakers are about this
matter they should provide for the
proper cleansing of glasses in which
any drink is sold. At many soda foun-
tains and behind many bars the glass
e5 are merely dipped in pool of dirty
water and allowed to drain, or are
used again before they have drained.
The practice is dangerous and filthy,
yet few people care to complain about
it.-Record-Herald.

ular desire has not found adequate

But under these institutions, thanks
tc the wisdom of the founders and

GLORY OF WAR.

A great many people agree with the
German chancellor that permanent
peace is out of the question for the
present. But, outside of Germany,
there will be few who sympathize
with the chancellor's evident pleasure
over that condition.
There have been few stranger phe-
romena than the persistent and un-
sparing Qualifications Of war which
have proceeded from the ranks of
German officialdom. From Bismarck's
famous phrase cf blood and iron, down
to this latest pronouncement of the
kaiser's representative, the whole ten
o. of official German thought has
been warlike. From time to time, the
kaiser proclaims himself the chosen
Of God, whose throne shall be upheld
by bayonets against the democratic
ing tendencies of the present age.
Chancellors block plans for interna-
tional arbitration. Men like Moltke
declare war an ordinance of God.
Other nations keep up huge arma-
ments because they think themselves
obliged to do so. Germany alone
seems to multiply ships and regiments
because she likes the professor shall
we say because her ruling caste likes
it?
The explanation Of these phenomena
goes back, we believe, to the revolu-
tionary year of 1848. At the begin
ming of that year Germany was we'll
nigh the leader of Europe in demo-
cratic thought. In every state was a
strong party demanding reforms Of
the constitution, or insisting on chang
ing the local Kingdom into repub-
lie at once. The outlook for a federal
kingdom, perhaps even for federal
republic of Germany seemed bright
indeed. But the revolution broke on
the rock of Prussian military disci-
pline. Then-and this is the vital
point-the German revolutionists left
Germany. They came to America in
dioves. Practically the entire repub-
lean party of Germany was trans
planted to the United States in the
years between 1848 and 1870. There
was left in Germany no organized
resistance to the Prussian policy of
militarism.
If the Puritans had first been beaten
in battle, and then allowed to emf
CRATE, the Stuarts might now be on
the throne of Great Britain, and the
king of England might daily preach
the doctrine of divine right. That, in
substance, is just what actully hap
pened in Germany. The men who
might have kept alive the democratic
and anti-military ideals in the father
land have found in America a new
fatherland, where such ideals need no
nursing. The believers in blood and
iron have been left in unhampered
control of the situation at home

NIcKNAMEs AND PRESIDENTS.

The use or origin of nicknames for
many of our presidents and generals
and other public characters and many
OF our cities and states has for half
a century given me a good deal of in
terest and innumerable hours of re-
search, says the Los Angeles Times.
All are aware that Washington be-
came known after the Revolutionary
war as the Father of His Country"
but few know that Aaron Burr, the
man who killed Alexander Hamilton in
D. duel at Weehawken, N. j., about 100
years ago, was the author of the ap-
pellation. Andrew Jackson received
the nickname of "Old Hickory" early
in the '20s, but how many persons
have traced the bestowal of the nick
name to an old New Hampshire DEM
ocrat named Isaac Hill? Or that Jack
son bestowed the nickname of MAR
tie" on Martin Van Buren,? Not many
are aware of the fact that it was
Stephen A. Douglas who referred first
to Abraham Lincoln as "Old Abe"
and that it was George Alfred Towns
end, who accompanied Mr.. Lincoln
from Springfield to Washington, in
February, 1861, as correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press, who first ap-
piled the term Of Father Abraham"
in q newspaper.
And it was President Lincoln, after
Andrew johnson had made one Of
his last Union speeches in the United
States senate, in February, 1862, who
called the great Tennesseean "the An
drew Jackson Of the war;" who was
afterward generally known as "Old
Andy" or just plain ANDY John
son."
Many presidents were given nick
names. John Quincy Adams was
known as the "Great Commoner."

"TRUsTING THE PEOPLE"

In speaking for the initiative and
referendum bill now before the leg
islature, State Senator Burton told an
audience with much emphasis on Fri
day that he was not afraid "to trust
the people"
OF course not. Nobody in this coun-
try is, says the Philadelphia Press
If there had been any hesitancy
emong us about trusting the people
we should not today have manhood
suffrage.
Our American institutions are the
most sublime declaration of trust in
the people that the world has ever
seen.
1t is one thing to trust the people
and another thing to trust the peoples
first impulse. AS individuals, the peo-
pie don't do it themselves.
Now, the whole object of our Ameri-
can institutions is to compel the peo-
pie to do in the mass what, with very
few exceptions, they do as individuals;
to take counsel, to deliberate, to delay
until reason has had time to temper
impulse and passion.
And the whole idea underneath the
initiative and referendum and all the
short cuts in popular government that
are being proposed today is to abolish
this safeguard of our institutions, to
persuaded the people that what is per-
scnally folly is public wisdom, that
the course that would land man in
the bankruptcy courts is the plan that
will make and keep people great.

A TRUE FABLE.

A frown went scowling down the
street one pleasant morn in May,
And, boys, will you believe it?-every
one he met that day,
Man, woman, lad and lassie-it is
queer; but it is true
AS soon as they came near him, went
off a-frowning, too.
Next day a smile went beaming down
that very selfsame street.
And every single person that it win
somely did meet,
Man, woman, lad and lassie-and it
went for many a mile
logged homeward all a-hapry, wear
ing each pleasure smile!
Now from this little fable it is very
plain to see,
There's no one but has influence, who
ever he may be;
And if you are cross and Grabbed, you
make others grabbed, too,
And if you smile on others, they will
likewise smile on you!
