the ''favors" of the sanity relic by
pressing 1t to their lips and having
it applied to their ailing members by
the priests.
Many miraculous cures are record
ed in the annals Of the church as a
result of the application of the relic.
The cures are spoken Of by the priests

through the intercession of st. Ann.

X KENEHAN ON DEMO
CRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE

DENVER, Nov. 1.-"Every word
in the Republican state campaign text
book about the finances of the present
Democratic state administration is
true" said State Treasurer Kenehan
today. "And SO told the people Of
La lara. | did not say that the text
book statements We're Incorrect as
quoted in the Democratic press re-
ports from that meeting. On the other
hand, | said that the financial state
mcnts in that campaign book had the
appearance of having been copied
from the official records at the state
house, because they are true"
Mr.. kenehan made the statement
when told that the Democratic pa
pers had reported him AS having de-
MED the correctness of the financial
pages in the text book.
Those pages which Mr.. kenehan
row confirms show that nearly 5000,
900 was turned over to Governor Shat
roth and that now the state is broke
and there are practically two millions
of unpaid appropriation bills. 1t alco
shows that the salary vol Of The pres
ent administration is over S300.000 in
excess of the salary roll under Gov
ernor Buchtel.
The Democratic press has charged
that the financial statement as issued
from Republican headquarters is un-
true, but today Mr.. Kenehan who has
handled the money under tiovernor
Shafroth's eXtravagant administration
verified every figure.

GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT.

When looking over the amendments
don't forget that the twenty ninth
amendment is the one providing for
the bonding of the state to the amount
of ten million dollars for the purpose
of constructing roads throughout the
state.
From a business point of view this
is the most interesting proposition to
be voted on. For several years the
people of the state have made every
possible effort to discover some way Of
providing funds for the construction
of good roads and the bonding of the
state has been the method decided
upon by practically all parties and all
classes of people.
1t should be known that only one
million in bonds is to be issued in any
one year, beginning with the year
1918.
The bonds may be taken up at any
time after ten years from date and
are due and payable fifty years from
date. They are to be issued in de-
nominations of one hundred dollars
or multiples thereof and bear interest
at the rate of per cent.
Colorado must come to the front in
the way of the construction of good
roads in order to become the Switzer-
land of America.
Every voter in the state should reg
lister his vote in favor of this proposed
amendment.

sensational circumstances attending
the arrest and trial of the pretty iG-
year-old girl two years ago Tor the
alleged murder of her sister. The girl
was accused of having given poisoned
coffee to her sister with fatal re
suits. The alleged motive of the rhine
was the girls envy of the fine clothes
worn by her sister.
Katie was indicted for first degree
murder. The jury found her insane
and she was committed to the asylum.
While she was in Jail awaiting trial

of James B. Pearce to the office Of
secretary of state has taken on tre-
mendous momentum, and there seems
little doubt but that he will be over

forts have been made to get Mr.

in this respect the Denver Post says
the following in its issue Of Oct. 27:
1T would be an insult to the wom-
en- of this state, to decent Democracy
and to respectable manhood, to elect
James X. Pearce secretary of state.
His office has been run in thorough
ly incompetent and immoral way, and
it is up to the decent people of this
state, regardless of what their poll
tics are, to throw Mr. Pearce out,
unless you want to put premium
upon incompetency and immortality,
and unless the good women of this
state defeat Mr.. Pearce they should
never again claim that they are an in
fluence for purity and good govern
ment in Colorado because it is against
the women of the state that Mr.
Pearce has particularly and especially
offended
Disgrace to State.
The Denver Republican says great
deal in the following editorial para
graph:
ut is necessary now to speak Of a
man whose candidacy is a disgrace to
the state and a reproach to the po-
litical party which, having tested him,
committed the folly of placing him
again upon its ticket. This is James
Pearce, at present secretary of state
and Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton to that office. The reputation of
this man is that of moral leper, and
the administration of his office has
been so scandalous that some of the
leading women Of the state have Or
ganiZed a vigorous campaign to insure
his defeat. He should never have been
nominated, and the only answer which
in self respect and justice to them
selves the people of Colorado can
