LAST STAND OF
OLD GUARD

: COLUMBUS, O., Feb. TO- = "The
of the constitutional convention of
Ohio will witness the last great stand
of privilege against the demand of
the people for government of their
own. If Ohio surrenders to the pro-
gressive idea, the day even of Pennsyl-
vania's deliverance will be near at
hand"
Thus does Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow
of Cincinnati, president of the con-
stitutional convention of Ohio, sum up
his hopes and aims as to what shall
be incorporated in Ohio's new organic
law.
The convention has now been in ses-
sion since January 8.
Preacher, progressive leader and sin
cere advocate of the rights of the
masses, Bigelow's friends say he en-
bodies the rare human link between
politics and religion.
MY politics." said Bigelow today, is
to apply the spirit of Christianity to
human relations My religion is to be-
lieve and help in the upward march
of mankind to self-government and
equality. Tom Johnson of Cleveland
showed me what a clean man, with
an iron will and true zeal on behalf of
the people, can accomplish in the po-
litcal arean."
For the United Press, Bigelow to-
day expressed his ideas of the scope
of the constitutional convention as fol-
lows:
"Ohio's fourth constitutional conven-
ton has been convened at a crucial
time. The initiative, referendum and
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-02-10

recall have come out of the west to
try their strength in the first great
state east of the Mississippi.
1.-The conservatives in the convention
believe that representative government
is threatened. They are ready to throw
themselves with zeal into the struggle
to save the institutions of the ia
Tiers, to halt the heresy of direct gov
eminent, to turn it back and balk it's
fluther victories.
1T looks like forlorn hope that the
conservatives are to follow. But they
are ably led. The old order will be de-
Tended by able and earnest advocates.
THE friends of the new doctrine of
direct and responsible government
look forward to the struggle with
confidence. Personally, ] hope to see
the convention complete it's work with
in the next 60 or 80 days. | hope to
see it commend municipal home rule,
state legislature held in control
through the initiative and referendum,
and supreme court that can be made
to render opinions that are constitu-
tional.
"Of course, there are many ideas
more or less ripe for the picking, such
as the short ballot, woman suffrage,
recall, classification of property for
taxation, state construction of high
ways, abolition of capital punishment,
license system of the liquor traffic and
preferential ballot without party en-
blems.
But responsible government is the
one great issue-the right of the peo-
pie to have a direct vote, not only
in the making of the new law, but also
in it's interpretation.
Bigelow's real name is Herbert
Seeley. When nine years old, he ran
away from home. His wanderings
took him to Florida as a bellboy in
hotel, and there he become interested
in the Bible. The rare spectacle Of a
bellboy reading the Bible attracted the
attention of E. A. Bigelow of Cleveland,
who adopted him as a son and gave
him an education in two state colleges.
The preached politician is now 43 years
old and looks younger.

FRESH AIR FUED
IN OFFICES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A fresh
air feud is "riling up the clerks in
President Taft's office. When or how
it will be settled is problematical, at
least until spring.
ITO ventilate or not to ventilate"
their office is the question. So serious
has become the squabble that the win
dow weights are being worn out with
alternate raising and lowering, as the
"antis" and pros" are in the ma
jority.
Great gusts of fresh air, letting in
the wintry breezes, are demanded b.
one faction of the Presidents clerks.
Another insists the office shall be air.
ed out only twice daily, before the Re
ginning of work day and during
lunch hour.
This fresh air problem is prevalent
source of trouble in all government de-
partments, but never before reached
the White House. Unable to stand the
cold air of the fresh air cranks," Col.
Warren G. Young, society arbiter of
the executive mansion, has voluntarily
exiled himself from the offices and
moved his desk into an adjoining file
room-in solitary, cozy, warm grand
eur.
President Taft and Secretary Hilles
seem to favor the fresh air cohorts,
windows in their offices always being
slightly opened during business ho,ls.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The treas
ury department having decided that q
hen is not bird-bird's eggs being adj
mitted free of duty and hens eggs hav-
ing to pay five cents dozen-it is
now up to the post office department
to settle momentous question arising
from the ownership of eggs laid in the
mails.
The National Association of Poultry
Breeders, anticipating the passage OF
the parcels post bill, recently inquired
of Postmaster General Hitchcock if
poultry might be sent through the
mail. In an unofficial statement the
department answered that, should the
parcels post measure be enacted, thel e
would probably be no objection t.
shipping the fowls, stamped. The
postmaster general, however, was of
the opinion that some one would have
to be delegated to look out for the
well being of the "perishable mail" and
then some one raised the question of
the ownership of the eggs laid by the
hens while in Uncle Sans care.
Would they belong to the sender of
the hens; to the receiver of the hens;
or to the government?
There not being any legislation al
ready enacted upon the subject, the
postmaster general delegated jesse

ton of the post office department to

AS time sifra sass4 day ap-
proaches. Durango will not celebrate
on this occasion but Silverton busi-
ness men have hung up $4,000 for
prize money for the winners of va
rious contests. The program will be
mainly athletic. The local ball team
will play two games with the Silver
ton team While the best of feeling
prevails between the players indlvd-
ually, the struggle for diamond hon
ors have been waged bitterly and any
time Durango linesup against the boys
from the top Of the world, a good
game is assured. Then besides The
ball game, the miners who constitute
large percentage Of the population,
will put on an elaborate program.
As the finale of the occasion Billy
Barnett, the sensational Durango as
pirant for pugilistic honors, will meet
Charlie Pierson, the fighting news
boy of Denver, in l5 or 20-round
bout. That Durango fans may have
an opportunity of punching together
and roofing for Barnett, one entire
section of seats will be reserved for
their exclusive use.
The concensus of opinion among
local fans is that this event will start
Barnett out upon a successful ring
career, as he has every requisite for
top notch pugilist physical build,
stamina, cleverness, gameness and the
most desired of all, the punch. That
Billy is not classed among the FIRST
rate men Of today is due to but one
thing lack OF opportunity. Now
that he has the chance, local fms
are anxious for the date to roll around
and prove to the world that their con
tentions are right.
Barnett is working himself into per-
feet condition and Labor day win
find him in tip-top trim. Billy is hav-
ing some job in getting sparring part
ners. A round or two and they have
enough, but nevertheless the next two
weeks will be devoted to heavy road
work and boxing.
A special train is not yet an as.
sured fact but it is more than likely
that a sufficient number 200 or 125)
will be obtained by Labor day. Tick
cts for the boxing exhibition will bt
placed on sale within few days.

uled will be given in another issue.

DANGER TO HUMAN BEINGS
FROM TUBERCULAR ANIMALS

When one considers that tuberculo-
sis of animals represents an annual
loss of $23 100000 to American live
stock interests, he readily perceives
that to decrease the ravages of this
disease among cattle and hogs is the
most vital problem of the modern live
stock industry. The devastation of
this enervating and Iife-sapping
plague are not confined to the lower
animals, for today there is no ques-
tion about the fact that bovine tu-
berculosis can be transmitted to hu-
man beings, more especially in the
case of children. Meat and milk con-
sumed in the raw condition are viru-
lent transporters of the dreaded tu-
bercles. Statistics show that twenty
per cent of the white plague patients
under 16 years old contracted the dis
ease through organisms coming from
cattle. Thorough cooking of beef con.
trolls the disease by killing the bacilli
The tubercle bacillus succumbs wher
exposed to temperature of 100 to III
degrees Fahrenheit. The process Of
heating milk to 100 degrees Fahren
heit and then slowly cooling it t
about 80 degree is known as Pasteuri
zation and efficiently controls milk
contamination by killing the organ
isms which transmit the scourge.-

The annual picnic was held on Sun
day and proved to be an unqualified
success. The committee commenced
work about three weeks before to pre-
pare the ground, which had been Sc
iected on the side of the hill over
looking the Lightner Creek VALLEY.
Here was erected a band stand, swing,
an aerial flight, merry go round,
shades and refreshment booths and the
ground prepared for the sports and
ball game. At 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning the band arrived from Du-
range and played few selections in
the club room while the people were
assembling. At 1920 a procession
was formed and after marching
through the camp proceeded to the pic
mic grounds where the fun Immediate
ly commenced. Visitors from Duran
go began to arrive about II O'Clock
and by noon fully 100 were on the
ground. Among these were Mr.. and
Mrs. jackson and daughter who drove
up in their auto, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Logan, Mr.. and Mrs. Perrung, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. Schultz and Mr.. Kruschke and
son. The sports commenced at IL 80
and continued till 1890 when an in
terval for refreshments was called.
These consisted of large supply of
sandwiches, cookies, oranges, candy,
lemonade, ice cream, numerous kinds
of soft drinks and bottled beer. At
p. m the sports recommended and
were carried on with much vigor until
3 p. m. when the ball game between
the married and single men was call
ed. After very exciting struggle the
single men won this, the score being
Ia to 6 in their favor. More sports
,fqll-sssss Tssitil 6 =. ii. when the picni;.
came to a conclusion.
During the day the band discoursed
sweet music at frequent intervals.
The aerial flight proved quite a
novelty and was much patronized by
both children and adults.
The tug of war final between the
visitors and the home team proved to
be very hard fight, finally going in
favor of the home team. George Lo-
gan on the end of the visitors rope
seemed to be almost immovable for a
time and we began to think he had
taken root.
Much amusement was occasioned by
the ladies plank race. In this race a
three-inch plank is placed at one end
of the ground and the ladies have to
race to it, drive a nail in it and then
race back to the starting point.
At s p. m. every one assembled at
the club room for a dance and this
brought to an end one of the most
enjoyable days we have ever had in
Perin's.

COUNCIL
IN SESSION

All members of the city council were
present at the regular seml-monthiy

the aldermen arrived on the Install
ment plan after the business trans
actions had been in progress for some
time. The reading of the minutes fol-
lowed roll call.

ed an auto license. The cement Ii
cense held by Joe Bodnar was trans
ferred to the Joe Bodnar company.
The matter of establishing a proper
sidewalk grade on the east side of
Fourth avenue between Fourth and
Fifth street caused length discussion.
A. b. Nelson, the ex-olderman, who
owns property on the west side of the
street, contended the grade given by
the city engineer was too high and
if the sidewalks were built according
to it the property on both sides of
the street would be damaged or as he
expressed it "disfigured." Mr.. Wicket
who owns property on the east side
expressed himself as being entirely
satisfied with the grade given. City
Engineer Burdick explained to the
council why the grade was so given
and suggested the council send a
committee to inspect the site. Aftcr
half hours consideration, the street
and alley committee, the city engi-
neer and the property owners agreed
to go over the ground and agree
upon the grade to be established.
b. N. Freeman addressed the board
relative to two matters he had rc
quested action upon on several differ
ent occasions. One was the establish
ing of proper lot and block corners il
the city and the other was an answe
to the appeal Of the Freeman Invest
| ment company for the refunding o
| taxes collected on lot / block 3 il
North Durango. The latter was re
. ferred to the claims committee witt
, instructions to make a written repor

: in question called forth another lon
! discussion. Mt. Freeman contcnde
r it was the duty of a municipality t
establish corners and by so -oin
:, f,-otect property owners. The cit
e attorney explained how complex
v problem the establishing Of lot an
