bowling alley. The two victims of the
robbers peeped from their uncomfort-
able quarters at the crowd of women
at the other end of the alleys, then at
their own forms in the mirror.
That was enough.
Thomas Fay of 1880 Clifton avenue

Two negroes entered the washroom
Just as Fay was removing from his
face the perspiration acquired in an
exciting game. A revolver was thrust
to his head and he was compelled to
give up a watch and the contents of

Then, to guarantee safe departure,
the robbers removed Fay's clothes,
also at the point of revolver. Just
then Devury entered and saw Fay,
apparently preparing for a cold dry
bath. The smile froze on his lips,
however, as a revolver was pushed
against his own breast. His pockets
were emptied.
The two victims shivered and shout

their relief, but the hold-up men had
had time to get miles away.

Two routes are proposed for the
automobile road to be built between
Alamosa and Durango. One plan is to
have the road run to the southwest
of Alamosa in more or less direct
course to Pagosa Springs. The other
proposition is to have the road con-
tinue up the Rio Grande river to a
point some twenty-five miles above
Creede, thence across the mountains
and down the west fork of the San
Juan river to Pagosa Springs. All
seem to be agreed on the route be-
tween Pagosa Springs and Durango.
A careful study Of both propositions,
it seems, would lead one to believe
that the better course for the road
would be up the Rio Grande river,
inasmuch as there is already a well
travelled road along the river which
affords some of the best fishing in the
state.

Editorial COMMENT

President Taft sent a message to
congress yesterday asking the imme-
diate passage Of relief measure for
the benefit OF the flood stricken COM
munities of the middle west and south.
Within very short time after the
message was received, house and SEN
ate rushed through an appropriation
of S350,000 for the Mississippi flood
victims and sent it to the president
to be signed.
Mr.. Taft bears the same relation
to the nation that Governor Shafroth
does to this state. Congress is anal
agous to our general assembly. The
flood sufferers may well be likened
to thousands Of ranchers in this state
who face ruin, famine, even death,
through the destitution brought about
by the harsh winter.
What sad contrast to all this the
attitude of Governor Shafroth pre-
sents in his handling of the crisis in
Colorado! What a difference the two
men disclose in fulfilling the duties
of chief executive. Hat In hand, our
"honest' governor has canvassed the
western railroads for aims, leaving to
private charity the solemn duty of
the state. Governor Shafroth is we'll
fortified with a thousand and one
technicalities," to show that Colo
rado is powerless to help starving citi-
zens even if he called special ses-
sion of the legislature. AS long as
he does not care to see it, no emer-
gency, of course, can exist. There arc
cattle dying on the plains, no children
hungry, no farmers facing ruin.
And of course he is not afraid to
call an extra session for fear some
one other than himself might be elect
ed United States senator.-Denver

Now they are spending time, money

himself absolutely to any of the as

shall of Indiana would meet him ap
proval perhaps better than anyone
else. The former Tammany chief
spoke in high terms of Champ Clark
and predicted that, if nominated, the
speaker would carry the country.
Governor Wilson, Mr.. Croker said,
| do not regard as Democrat as |
