TWELVE AMENDMENTS CARRY,
BY GREAT MAJ0RITIES'
BILLS TURNED DOWN BY LEGISLATURE
PASS BY VERDICT OF VOTERS

Returns from the state on the amend
ments show that the following have
carried: The Women's eight hour law.
the mothers compensation act, Eigh
hour law for miners, Recall of off
GERS, Recall of decisions, Civil Servic,
bill, Headless ballot, Home Rule for
cities and towns, Procedure bill, Pamph-
let law, Contempt Of court amendment,
and, making mills and smelters public
utilities.
The recall of decisions roved more
popular in many counties than the re
call of officers, both having over 10000
majority in the state and 5000 in Den
YER. All the other measures seem to
have been defeated by decisive major
tiles
The vote is interesting as showing
the intelligence, ignorance, fairness and
unfairness OF the electorate. In many
sections it is evident large number OF
people voted against all the measure.
they did not understand. Theis is yer,
unfair, and such voters should refrain
from voting ano leave those interested
enough to inform themselves, the dutS
Df determining the fate OF the measures
Had that been done our measures would
have had much larger majorities.
The measures most discussed were
the Mothers Compensation act ard the
School and Social Center amendment
The discussion was notable because OF
the anonymous pamphlets and circulars
against the mothers compensation act
No more venal, vicious lot OF lies and
scares was ever put out against any
righteous and just law.
The recall of decisions gives the peo
pie a new power. 1t makes them the
supreme court in all great constitution
| al questions. 1t is the first law OF its
kind in the history OF this country and
no doubt will attract much attention.
The headless bollot is the law present
ed to the legislature eight years ago
and it is a great satisfaction to see the
people do what their representatives,
have refused to do for so long a period
1t ehds straight ticket voting and here
after the voter must exercise intelligence
and vote for men and measures and not
for parties. 1t will be followed by the
short ballot and preferential ballot
then the reign OF the Boss and the Beast
will be forever ended in Colorado.

FAvoRIrE DISHES.

The homely, old-fashioned boiled din
ner is not much spoken of these days
and yet 1t has many stanch supporters
all over our land. The drawback with
boiled dinner for a family of two is
that there is SO much left over. This
Is extremely nice for hash, but once
served in that way Is sufficient. A
small boiled dinner may be prepared,
but even then there is large amount
of left-overs. A good plan for the lov-
ers of the old-fashioned dish is to
gather together those who enjoy It and
have feast. A head of cabbage or
two, few potatoes. turnips and car.
rots all boiled together with a good
thick piece OF .well-favored salt pork.
Corned beef is liked by many in.

DEMOCRATS DENOUNCE
TRICK Of TAFT ON ;.
P0ST0FFICE JOBS
Wilson Will Be Asked to
Rescind Order Making
Them Perpetual
Small Storekeepers Vie
for Positions Because
They Bring Trade

Democrats in the smaller towns and
Villages of Colorado ars so wrought up
over the order Of President Taft, placing
fourth-class postmasters under the civil
service rules and thereby making them
lifetime Apprentices unless removed for
to be presented to Presldent-elect Wood
rowsMIlsor, asking him TO rescind tn,
order as one of his first official acts.
The Democrats who are leading are
those who own stores in the smaller
tayns. They want the Republican store
keepers ousted from the postoffice be-
cause of the advantages it gives to tn,
sale OF goods.
The Colorado storekeepers are going
to take the initiative and draw up n
strong petition setting forth the. Unjust
ice of the Taft order and the fact that
the $4,000 postmastors OF the fourth class
all over the country will be able to hold
togeather formidable machine in the
country districts. The little fellows not
only want the trade and the little salar,
of the postmaster, but they want the
opportunity to take their part in Demo
craft; machine building.
In Colorado exactly 7S0 postmasters Of
the fonrth class were given lifetime
berths by the order OF President Taft
Not being law of congress the Colo
rado aspirants want it set aside. They
say that Taft knew that he was doomed
TO defeat when he made the order and
that it was done to help the Republican
party in the future.
