Paris.-A general con0agration in
the Balkans is expected by officials
here. Montenegros declaration OF war
against Turkey Is regarder merely as
the beginning. 1t is believed that the
other unit OF the Balkan coalition will
follow suiut as soon as the mobiliza-
tion OF the armies is complete. There
Is only a faint hope that the repre-
sentations OF the powers will avert
general hostilities.
Montenegro's move is considered in
Paris to be part of a prearranged
plan. 1t is asserted that Greece was
first selected by the Balkan Confeder-
alton to force the issue and inaugurate
the war. This easily could have been
done by Greece seating in the Greek
Parliament the deputies from Crete,
which was certain to prove casus
belli to Turkey.
Greece, however, declined to accept
responsibility for starting the flame.
Montenegro then was picked. She
had a long standing quarrel with Tur-
key over the boundary question, and
Turkeys refusal to grant satisfac-
tion was seized upon as justification
for Montenegro's resort to arms.

Editors Will Boos, Their Bill.

Denvcr.-The executive and cam
paign committees OF the COLORADO
State Editorial Association have out
lined a vigorous campaign for the pur-
pose OF securing the adoption OF the
proposed law to reduce the cost OF
printing constitutional amendments
and initiated and referred bills. This
proposed law will appear on the ballot
in position seven in the list OF bills
submitted for adoption or rejection.
II reduces the number Of publications
from, in one newspaper for four con
secutive weeks in each county. to one
publication in two papers OF opposite
political faith in each county.
The campaign committee intends to
secure the cooperation Of country
publishers in a campaign OF education
among the readers OF the various pa
pers in the state, through advertise
ments and news storieG in their pa
pers and through personal work be-
fore election day
When the direct legislation prin-
ciple was before the people for adop-
tion or rejection two years ago the ex-
treme cost of publishing the proposed
measures was one OF the principal ar
guments against the enactment OF
that principle into law. Under the
old plan wherein only constitutional
Amendments submitted by the legisla'
ture were advertised the cost was com
paratiyely slight. Under the new plan
where all submitted measures must be
advertised the cost was considerably
increased, but the editors, realizing
that this increase would act as detri-
ment to the submission Of proposed
bills. have initiated proposed amend
ment which they claim reduces the
cost to 4 figure that cannot be reduced
through any other method OF advertis-
ing

WHY THEY DO 1T.

1t is a mystery to some Texas dem
.oerats why certain democratic party
leaders in this state argue for tar
\iff TAX raw materials.
II They claim to be opposed TO all
2 protective tariffs, but insist on pro
Election for raw materials as long al
n any protection is given manufac-
tured products.
Senator Francis e. Warren o
II Wyoming, sheep king and Chinese
wall protectfonist, gave the answer
| when, in the senate, on June "a,
1909, he said;
"That tariff bill which undertakes
to make free raw material of the
farmers finished product, If carried
through here once, will be the
death knell of the protective tariff
in the United States"
That's why some Texas demo-
Gratis" pretend to be opposed to pro-
tective tariffs, but insist on protec-
ton for certain raw materials pro-
duced in this state.
They know, as Sheep King War
rem knew. that the protective tariff
robbery, both ends of it, will fall
never to rise the minute congress
ends the infamous conspiracy be-
tween country and city special in
terests to rob all the rest of the peo-
pie by means of tariff subsidies.
They don't want protective tariffs
abolished. They pretend to serve the
masses of the people, or ask leave
to, when in secret and in fact they
serve the protected special interests
The democratic party, as a par
ty, denounces all protective tariffs
1t recognizes that such tariffs ar
unconstitutional, Illegal. dishonest

THE TOUR OF A SMILE.

My papa smiled this morning when !
He came downstairs, you see,
AT mamma and when; and when he
smiled, then
She turned and smiled at me,
And when she smiled at me I went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen, and she lent
1t to the hired man
So then he smiled at someone who
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had wrinkles In his eye;
So he went to his office then
And smiled at his clerk,
Who put some ink on his pen
And smiled back from his work.
So when his clerk went home he
smiled
Right at his wife, and she
Smiled over at their little child
AS happy as could be;
And then their little child, she took
The smile to school, and when
She smiled at teacher from her book
Teacher smiled back again.
And then the teacher passed on one
To little James Mcbride,
Who couldn't get his lessons done
No matter how he tried;
And Jamesy took it home and told
How teacher smiled at him
When he was tired, and didn't scold,
But said, Don't worry, Jim!"
And when | happened to be there
That very night to play
His mother had smile to spare
Which came across my way;
And then | took it after while
Back home, and mamma said:
Here is that very self-same smile
Come back with us to bed!"
