CHILD DISSECTION A CRIME

The women of Colorado are surely
forging to the front in the matter of
safe and sane legislation.
The latest measure to be introduced
by one of the "female four is bill
providing for the punishment for men
who desert not only a wife, but child
ren as well.
Statistics accompany the bill to
show that 33 per cent of the children
in state institutions are there as the
result of parental desertion.
Nice state of affairs! Such things
must cease and the women are to be
blessed for calling them to the atteu.
tion of the men.
A man who brings children into the
world should support them in the best
manner he can. There is no intention
to make him provide mansion with
tutor for each child, but he should
do the best he can with his resources.
Most assuredly he should not leave
a poor sickly wife to fight battle
against odds which were not of her
own making.
Children come-not of their own
will, because at that time they have
no will-but because they are called.
They are surely entitled to parental
protection, insofar as few paltry
dollars and cents will provide it.
A man may have reason for de-
serting his wife. She may not be
rongenial. Home ties may amount to
nothing. She may be cross and crabid
and hard to get along with.
I;,,t he has no reason on earth for
leaving the children and throwing
them onto the state to become charity
ards.
He who does such thing is moral
and domestic coward, and should pay
the penalty of what is really a crime
while the pittance he earns goes to the
support of the little ones for whom he
is responsible.
Having good time in some other
town while his wife and children are
poverty-stricken should not be the re.
ward of fatherhcod.

charitable institL.., MS will be done

AGAINST MoFFAT TUNNEL

When the Denver hackers of the
James Peak tunnel scheme first propos
ed their plan it was met with very
favorable reception in Western Colora-
do. The people Of the Western Slope
were anxious that better and more di-
rect communication be opened with the
Eastern Slope and the tunnel was pop
ular.
But now it is proposed to not only
make this tunnel railroad outlet but
also water carrying proposition. The
Eastern Slope land syndicates who
have long been plotting against the
waters of the Western Slope have seiz-
ed upon the tunnel as means of Sc
curing the waters of the Grand to ir-
rigate their arid acres.
THIS MEANS DEATH TO THE BILL
The entire Western Slope is solidlv
opposed to it if the tunnel is to be
used as means of robbing the West
ern Slope of its God given waters.
Until it is provided that the tunnel
can never be used as part of an irri-
cation proposition the people of the
Western Slope will be against it. If
it passes the legislature with this pro
vision, which might endanger the
Grand Valley project, they will have
it referred and with the solid support
of Southern and Western Colorado de-
feat it.-Grand Junction News.

ported shipments or inefficient inspec-
ton is very great.
A general warning is therefore CIV
en- TO all users OF such imported plant
stock. namely, 10 nurserymen, fruit
raisers, and purchasers of ornamen-
tails for city or part planting. to keep
all such imported stock under strict
watch TO see that these pests do not
develop.
II Is scarcely necessary TO comment
on the tremendous danger which the
!mportations OF nursery stock of the
last three seasons have brought to
this country. The enormous cost OF
the gypsy moth and the brown.tail
moth In New England is now we'll
known. Throughout the infested dis.
tricts OF New England orchards have
been completely destroyed and forests
largely obliterated. and even where
woodlands and parks have been pro-
teCted at an enormous expense their
beauty and value have been vastly
lessened.
Massachusetts has spent millions OF
dollars in an EFFORT to control these
pests. and with their spread to other
states the work OF control has been
taken up in these also. The National
government has been asked to come
TO the rescue, and is now appropriat
ing 100000 year in the mere at
tempt TO check the distribution O.
these pests along the principal high
ways. Massachusetts and the other
infested New England states are now
spending more than a million dollars

ness of these pests to orchards and

suburban residential district means an
enormous depreciation in property val
ues. as is now illustrated about the
city OF Boston. and very notably less
ems the attractiveness of coast or
mountain summer resorts. The north
shore towns Of Massachusetts and low
er Maine resorts have already felt this
influence, and for such regions as the
Catskills or Adirondacks the estab-
lishment of these pests would be most
disastrous. inasmuch as control over
such extended forested mountains is
practically impossible.
When It is realized that these two
pests have bees widely distributed, on
imported nursery stock, in % states
during the years OF 1909 and 1910, and
are now coming in on imported stock
from France and Belgium. the danger
to the whole country is fully apparent,
and this danger applies to every or.
chard and to every owner Of private
grounds and also to our entire forest
domain. The tax from these pests.
should they gain foothold throughout
the country, as measured by the ex-
listing cost in New England, is almost
beyond estimate.

loss, the brown-tail moth exercises a
very deleterious effect on health. The

worst possible examples Of the harm
done by insobriety brought into the
schools. They knew perfectly well
nothing was to be made Of the CON-

brought up to hate all forms of strong

teaching in their elementary schools
could be done by outsiders as well as
by the teachers themselves. But they
had to I'LL up the gaps and provide
the driving power, and that was where
the Band Of Hope Union came in as
regarded the elementary schools.
Dealing with the progress which
temperance had made during the last
20 years. Mr.. Runciman pointed out
that public houses had very largely
ceased to be the meeting places Of
people who hired employees. Friendly
societies and trade unions were also
to a large extent. forsaking the pub
lie house for meeting purposes.
AS to the decline per head in the
consumption Of alcoholic liquors. the
figures published year by year showed
that 1t was not an accidental decline
but the tendency downward was to
some extent the result OF the work
that had been done amongst the
young 80 or 40 years ago.
Touching upon the old controversy
that plen could not be made sober by
act of parliament. Mr.. Runciman said
everybody knew that IL the govern.
ment legislated too far ahead OF pub

first OF evasion. and secondly of re-
bound. He quite agreed that they
could not make people sober by act

them to be sober. That was one Of
tho things the government had been
trying TO do in recent years.
The fall in the consumption Of In
toxicating liquors had also been con-
tributed to during the last twelve
months by the heavy taxation on
whisky. He did not regret that. He
