councils Of the Elks, is in st. Joseph s
hospital in Denver suffering from All

G|DDY SuFFRAGETTE

Los Angeles, Cal, July Ward
heeler, vote chaser, lobbyist, tool of
politicians
These are few of the things that
Alma v. Lafferty, member of the Colo
rado legislature, is, according to the
judgment of Mrs. Helen NJ. Wixon,
Coolrado state superintendent of
schools, delivered in this city today.
MRS. Wilson is an uneducated wo-
man." said Mrs. Lafferty in a speech
delivered before the Ministerial union.
That remark and various others of
similar portent, was what brought Mrs.
Wilson s food of retorts courteous. In
cidentally it was what brought Mrs.
Wilson herself to Los Angeles today.
Called Tool of Politicians
"Mrs. Lafferty does not represent
the women of Colorado; they repudiate
her, Mrs. Wilson declared. "She is
the tool of the politicians. They use
her for their lobbyist in the legisla-
ture and that is why they put her
there.
"She tells great deal about what
she did as lawmaker She never
passed any bills herself She intro.
duced few and the men passed them.
Furthermore, she only introduced the
bills which her bosses permitted her to
introduce. She says she is democrat,
but she was a republican before. She

teachers never saw high school. Well

tendent. Her full statement was this:
Unfortunately, I am sorry to say,
they are resorting to the initiative and
referendum because the woman at the
head of the schools of the state is un-
educated and many of the Colorado
school teachers have never attended a
high school or advanced above the
grammar grades.''

GOVERNOR CR|T|CISES FADS

Governor Shafroth says he trusts the
people of Colorado will not refer or
initiate very many laws to be passed
upon at the general election one year
from next fall. He gives as his reason
the claim that the cost of initiating
and referring laws under the present
system will cost approximately $250,0OO
to properly present the proposed re
ferred and initiated bills, therefore. he
hopes the people will withhold their
initiation and referring of measures
until the constitution can be changed
so as to permit of the publication of
proposed statutes and constitutional
amendments in pamphlet form.
The state of Oregon uses the pamph-
let form and it cost twenty cents a
person to issue the pamphlet there last
year. This is very little cheaper than
the same would have cost under Colo
RADIOS system of presenting such mat
ters to the people.
However, be that as it may, the peo
Pile of Colorado knew what it would
cost when they adopted the initiative
and referendum, and it is just as rea-
sonable to suppose that they concur in
that cost as it is to feel that they
concur in the direct legislation princi-
Pile. They adopted both at the same
time and with the same ballot.
Another viewpoint is not amiss. Gov
ernor Shafroth has been elected twice
and the two platforms upon which be
ran promised total of ten so-called
demanded laws. There has been held
three sessions of his legislature at an
approximate cost of $36O,OOO. Of the
ten laws promised only three have been
enacted. If it costs 100000 to enact
three laws under his direction, is il
not cheaper to get the other seven at
a cost, according to him, of $3.50, ,OOt
under the initiative and referendum
and after all, is not the present plan
of presenting those laws through the
newspapers far more reasonable thar

G. MILLER
HAS PASSED ON

Christopher C. Miller died suddenly
at the Glenwood sanHarium At six
o clock yesterday morning, July %, Of
valvular LESSONS of the heart.
Mr.. Miller has been in very poor
health for the past three years and
both he and his friends have for some
time believed that his lease of life was
short. He has recently had considera
BILE trouble with his breathing and his
circulation was poor.
He came to the sanitarium but few
days ago and placed himself under the
care of a physician. He soon showed
some improvement, although, owing 10
his age, he yielded very slowly to treat
ment.
Mr.. Miller was born in Madenburg,
Germany, 70 years ago the 25th day of
last March. BE came to the United
States when quite a young man. He
settled in Central City, Colo, in the
early sixties and was in business there
for over thirty years. 1t was there that
he was married and it was there that
all his children were born and in that
mining camp he devoted the best years
of his life to his family and his bust
ness.
Meeting financial reverses in the
tronblous days of 1896 he moved with
his family to the Grand valley, pur-
chasing near Antlers a small fruit tract
which he has since highly improved un
til it is now regarded as one of the best
fruit farms in that section.
Mr.. Miller was an ardent Odd Eel
low and for many years has occupied
place high in the councils of the
master of the order in this state and
on October %, 1896, at the grand lodge
session held in Denver he was installed
into that Office. He served his term
with credit to himself and the order
which had honored him, but since clos
ing his official service he has not been
able, owing to the struggle incident TO
the improvement of new farm and a
part of the time owing to ill health, to
attend regularly the sessions Of his
grand lodge, q fact which has been o
matter of great regret to him.
Thursday evening A. J. Dickson call
ed on Mr.. Miller at the sanitarium and
he then said, "Brother Dickson, 1 feel
that another past grand master will
soon be going" Mr.. Dickson sought
to cheer him up. but he said he had
passed his three score years and ten
and he thought his time had come. He
then asked his visitor to inform some
of his old time lodge friends of his
condition and said goodbye. saying
that he felt as though he would not
have the pleasure Of attending another
grand lodge session.
Friday morning, after spending q
restless night, he attempted to arise
from his bed and, with scarcely . ~

GlENW0OD IN
MOVING FILMS
Movement to Advertise Colo.
rado by Pictures Ex.
tends to Springs.
LIVELY POOL film


and W. H. Emmons, formerly adver-
tising agent for the Colorado Midland,
visited Glenwood and made several
moving picture films of the swimming
pool for the purpose of advertising all
over the country this unique attraction
which has made Glenwood famous.
The day was bright and beautiful and
the pool was filed with jolly bunch
of swimmers who delighted in showing
what can be done in this great amuse
ment spot and the gentlemen have ev-
cry reason to believe that the picture
secured here will be one of the best
action films they have ever made.
Those who could not swim were float,
ing about the pool on the ladders while
the swimmers kept themselves bus
diving off of the fountain or spring
board or chasing one another down the
toboggan slide or performing other au-
tics such as are seen almost any day
when there is a large crowd in the
pool.
In addition to the pool Aims another
was made from Iron mountain and the
trail leading up to the Fairy caves
This showed the town and the Hotel
Colorado to excellent advantage as
well as several horsemen climbing the
steep mountain trail, making very clear
the location of the town in relation to
the mountains. 1t made very pretty
setting and should prove u popular
film.
There is no such thing as too much
advertising for a town like Glenwooi
Springs, and, when the town trustees
agreed to go into a proposition where
by Glenwood' 's attractions are present
ed to the patrons of over 1000 motion
picture theaters, they for once did the
right thing. The firm who are con
tracing to make and present the films
are the Solax people, and there is no
eft" about the films going before the
theaters as they have already been ar
ranged for by the Independent cir
cuit'' and about a month from now
will be released for show period
which covers three months and in cludes
houses in every large city in the United
States.
This film campaign, originated by the
Denver Chamber of Commerce, is the
first step in a campaign which will
last three years, and which is intended
to bring Colorado to the direct atten-
ton of the many thousands who will
visit the Panama exposition at San
Francisco in 1915, so that, when they
are ready to make their trip across the
continent it will follow, as a matter
of course, that a visit in Colorado will
kform part of their Itinerary.
) The trustees are to be congratulated
on getting in on the ground floor OF
this campaign, and in selecting the
town boards which will come into eI-
istence in the years to follow, it is to
be. hoped that all parties nominating
candidates will select men who will
see that Glenwood continues to partic-
ipate in this plan of exploitation.

The Glenwood saloons were closed
tight last Sunday, both front, rear and
side doors. This action was determlr-
ed upon by the saloon men after they
satisfied themselves without any ques-
tion that Sheriff Jessup meant exactly
what he said in his closing order made
some time ago. Sheriff Jessup has
been so fair and yet positive in this
matter that he has won the respect Of
both the saloon interests and the peo-
! pie who have for some time sought the
enforcement of the law. A friend Of
the saloons was heard to say this week:
