My worst blunder seems funny
when I think about it now-but at the
time I made it it was about as funny
as spiked shin bone. 1t took me
five years to be able to grin when
anyone spoke of it. and. believe me.
several hundred persons did speak OF
it. l began to think that it was the
only play l ever made that no one
ever forgot. It's so long ago now
that I've almost forgotten where we
finished or what my batting average
was that season, so l guess it won't
hurt to tell it. You know fellow
can tell story on himself that would
make him hit someone in the jaw

1t was when / was with the Chi.
cago Cubs. before they were the Cubs.
/ was younger then than l am now,
but 1 won't plead youth in explaining
the play. Maybe it was because !
was young that they didn't kill me.
remember 1t was along in the
middle OF the season and there were
still quite bunch of US working for
outfield jobs. The team was going
along pretty well. too. although some
OF us were far from satisfied with the
way things were being handled. The

KEROSENE EMULSION

Kerosene emulsion is one Of the
standard remedies in the combat against
insect pests. 1t is made by boiling one
pound of whale oil, or caustic potash
soap, or one quart of soft soap in two
gallons of soft water. When the soap
is dissolved pour the solution into the
sprayer, adding two gallons of kero
sene. Then pump into itself until the
compound has the consistency of but
termilk and its bulk has increased to
nearly five gallons. This is the stock
solution. For spraying dilute two parts
of the stock with nine or ten parts of
soft water. l cannot recommend a
stronger solution. This is never fail.
ing remedy against the aphis, onion
thrips, and other sucking insects. BIZ
ing insects, too, will succumb if the
spray touches them. For best results
the spraying must be repeated four or
five times in intervals of five to seven
days. 1t must not be used on vegeta-
bles of which the leaves are eaten.-E.

IN MESA COUNTY the people are
particularly anxious that the Graud
Valley Reclamation project, otherwise
known as the Highline canal, should
be constructed at the very earliest pos
sible moment. 1t is matter of great
moment to them and to all the western
slope and yet, strange as it may seem,
the people down there, while pretend
ing to be anxious for the Highline,
are slapping in the face those who are
influential with the powers at Wash
ington and who are in q position to
render great assistance in securing this
prize so greatly coveted by the people.
Some folks when conscious that they
possess little power are not salts
fed until, Sampsonlike, they have
broken the pillars of the temple which
then crushes them altogether.

CAN'T COMPEL HUSBANDS
TO SUPPORT WIVES NOW

Denver, March 3o.--Judge Riddle in
criminal court today declared the law
which cor apels a husband to support MS
wife and children unconstitutional. He
also iech lred that the bill enacting this
unconstit utional law repeals the pre-
vious Law and that, therefore, Colorado
has no law compelling a husband TO
support his wife and children.
The ls w was passed by the Humane
society after one of the hardest fights
the soci ,ty ever had to secure the en-
actment of law, and it is not likely
that the society will let it go by with
out anN her hard fight to secure re-
versal d the opinion rendered by Judge
Riddle today.

One of the most startling changes
eevr seen in any man, according to W.
B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex, was eff
fected years ago in his brother. "He
had such dreadful cough,' he writes,
that all our family thought he was
going into consumption, but he began
to use Dr. Kings New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bottles.
Now he is sound and well and weighs
2ls pounds. For many years our faml-

GUY Z. HARDY, editor of the Can
on City Record and president of the
Republican Newspaper Association OF
Colorado, a position the editor of the
Post had the honor of filing for four
years. is out for the republican noml-
nation for state treasurer. If there
is any one class of men who are en-
titled to political preferment as mat
ter of some reeompense for what they
are in position to do and what they
actually do for the party it is the news
paper fraternity. But Guy Hardy is
not asking for political nomination
on this score. He is thoroughly capa-
BILE and in every way worthy of the
office He has been warrior in the
ranks of the party for years. He
knows the ways of the office and has
excellent business ability. In other
words, Guy Hardy is big enough for
the job and if nominated and elected
he will certainly prove an agreeable
contrast to the horseshoe statesman
who is now on the job. The Post
hopes to see Hardy land the plum.

GRAND JUNCTION comes

GRAND JUNCTION comes to the
front with the story of an opera house
proprietor who would never accept or
allow his family to accept passes to
his own show house. Orson Adams is
the man referred to and he has been
looked upon as a curiosity by the ac.-
ors and chorus girls who have played
engagements at his theater. Adams
sold the Park opera house last week
and it was not until then that the
story found its way into print.

with Missouri. And Hailey has re-

as he did few weeks ago. The whole
Roosevelt movement seems to be going
to pieces and the "seven little govern.
ors" who assured the colonel that they
represented "the people" and "the
popular demand" are called to account.

THE LEADv111E POINT OF VIEW

A stormy time is looked forward to
at the meeting of the Lincoln Highway
association which is to be held in Glen
wood on Tuesday, April 16, according
to sentiments expressed at local good
roads meeting last night. 1t is expect
ed that Aspen will be at the meeting il
full force to induce members of the
state highway commission to see it
their way
The meeting was postponed from
April l3 in order that the state COM
mission, which meets with the Utah
good roads people in Grand Junction On
April l5 may be present in Glenwood
and listen to the merits of the Tennes
see pass route for trans state high
way.
Aspen will probably expound the
merits of the Independence route for
the Translate highway. One of these
merits at present is ten feet of snow
which shows no disposition to melt for
a number of weeks at least. No doubt
the Aspen people will dwell at length
on the novelty of SNOWFALL fight
among tourists who might be ipveiglsd
to choose that route ON trip aeposs
the state.
But if snowballs' is the Argument
Of the Aspen people in the 8slenwood
meeting, it is certain THAI the Lead
vile people will be able TO, fling some
thing harder. 1t is certain also that
the g missels" of tho Cloud City dele
CATION will raise bigger bumps of logic
on the heads of the members of the
state highway commission (
Not only will Leadville be at tie
meeting with strong delegation, 'out
Chaffee,, Eagle and Garfield cou,lties
will be on the spot with generous sup
ply of ammunition for the Tennessee
pass route, All the counties fr,m Chat
fee to Garfield have endorsed the route
through Leadville as the c,nly Logical
one for the Translate rowI.
The state highway conn mission will he
given plenty of data regarding the Zen.
nessee pass route which they may use
when it comes time 40 make the appro
priation from the state road fund
among the various counties.
1t is generally supposed that the state
highway commission will go to. Utah
with the idea of negotiating plan of
cooperation whereby the Colorado road
can connect with the Utah road for
automobiles through the, two states.
The Leadville delegation ssof the opin-
ion that the Independ ence route would
be in NO way objectionable if it was the
purpose of the conference to select a
route for aeroplanes. But unfortunate
ly for Aspen it is an auto route that is
to be selected.
owing to the postponnenr of the
Glenwood meeting it was found neces-
sary to postpone the Eagle meeting of
the Lincoln association until May 4.
President Curtis and Secretary Giles,
of the Colorado Springs headquarters
OF the Lincoln association, expect to at
tend the meeting in Glenwood.

THAT MAR1kK AFFAIR

For the past two years Miss Sylvia
Smith has been publishing paper at
Marble styled The Marble City Times.
Miss Smith has at all times manifest
ed a spirit of villifcation and abuse
toward the Colorado Yule Marble com
pany. the very life and source of the
town of Marble and all the prosperity
it has enjoyed. Week in and week out
her cruel and vicious Trades Of slande-
and abuse have gone forth, similar to
the senseless abuse which has appeared
in local paper the past three years
against one of Glenwood' foremost
enterprises.
Needless to say the big company at
Marble which has accomplished won
ders and whose mammoth plant is the
admiration of all who invade that
somewhat secluded territory, was EN-
barrassed and greatly injured by the
false and malicious villifeations that
appeared week after week and were
scattered broadcast throughout the
east. Capital is always shy and such
stories hurt, whether they contain any
truth or not.
The people Of the. camp have for the
past year been goaded almost to des-
peration by the cruel calumnies which
emanated from this woman, but the
last straw which broke the camel
back came in the issue following the
disastrous snowslide q few weeks ago
when Miss Smith referred to the de-
structive avalanche as a work Of des-
tiny and left the inference with her
readers that she was sorry the destruc-
tion was not even greater.
This taxed the patience of the Mar
bleites to the breaking point and ~
indignation meeting Eas held which
was participated in by almost the en-
tire population of the camp. Strong
resolutions were adopted inviting Miss
Smith to leave the camp AND NEVER
TO RETURN and after these had
been signed by over two hundred
people the town marshal escorted Miss
Smith to the station and delivered ta
her ticket to some outside point.
1t is not the purpose of the Post 20
discuss the drastic methods of the citi-
zens of Marble to rid themselves of a
nuisance who was constantly sapping
the industrial life-blood of the camp,
but we must venture the remark that
it is ineonceivable how Miss Smith or
anyone else could constantly attack,
eriticise, malign and iniure the very
agency which made possible the pros
perity for which that camp has long
been noted.
A great enterprise has been under
taken at Marble-an entrprise which
required brains and nerve in its cor
summation-and it would seem that
the least the residents of the camp
could do would be to boost and lift =
little instead of critieising and tearing
down. Any fool can tear down and
blast and destroy, but it takes brains
and thought and purposeful determine
tion to create, to build up great in
dustry such as Colonel Meek and his
associates have lbuilded.
We want to go on record in favor
of any legitimate industry which means
prosperity for Colorado workingmen
and Colorado business men, wherever
that industry may be located.
