funds that might be used.
Treasurer Kenehan says that he is to

where there is money to burn but in
the meantime they will have to await

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 21.-Former
Mayor Hiram C. Gill, removed from
Office in disgrace year ago by re-
call election, was given an overwhelm-
ing plurality over his rivals for nomi-
nation for office yesterday at the mu-
nicipal primaries. Gill received nearly
10000 more votes than his nearest
competitor, George F. Cotteril, single
tax candidate, who will oppose him at
the election in March,
Thomas A. Parrish, business men 8
candidate, ran close third, and Hulett
M. Wells, socialist, polled close to TO-
900 out of the total vote, which was in
the neighborhood of 55,OOO
Gill campaigned under an "open
town. slogan, and the result yestef-
day is said to indicate his probable
election over Cotteril in March.
Full municipal tickets were nomina;-
ed yesterday, the socialist party nam
ing men for comptroller, corporation
counsel and treasurer, and also two
nominees for councilmen. The other
nominees were not selected under party

CATTLE RAISING TO BE
TAUGHT FARMERS

Denver, Feb. 20-Alarmed by the
fact that importation of beef cattle in
the United States are greater than It's
expectations, practically all the stock
interests of the country have united to
increase the American product by a
systematic campaign, according to Col.
w. +. Skinner of Denver, who has been
chosen head of the concerted national
movement and who returned from Chi
cago today. Farmers will be taught
Intelligent farming,' as Colonel
Skinner calls it, or the combining of
agriculture with stock raising on small
tracts. 1t is hoped, he said, that the
result would soon be an increase in
stock raising and the United States
may be free from the peril of having
its meat from South America and Aus
tralia.

FATHER AND SONS
GO TO PRISON

Walsonburg, Feb. 2O.-Six members
of the notorious Baldwin gang includ
ing the father and four sons sentenced
today by Judge Hunter of the district
court of Huerfano county to terms of
from shree to ten years at hard labor
for tefies af rabhsries, perpetIated
by the gang in southern Colorado. The
men and their respective sentences are:
John Baldwin, the father, six to ten
years; Con Baldwin, four to ten: Bob,
three to ten; Will, five to ten; Harold
five to ten; Harry Hill, five to ten.
The trial of the Baldwins has been
of unusual interest. The fact that the
father, four sons and two of the Bald
win women We're implicated had packed
the court room. Most of the evidence
came by the confession of Hill, who
had quarreled with other members If
the family.

A MUCH NEEDED INSTITUTION

Perhaps there re but few of our
people who fully realize what neces-
sary institution to Glenwood is the
Glenwood Sanitarium. While it is
true that the success of this institution
depends on accident, sickness and suf-
fering it is also true that these misfor-
tunes are part af the life and expert
ence of every community and it behoov-
es us all to take the best steps possible
to elevate these inevitable misfortunes
To give something of an idea of the
needs of this institution to the com
munity is only necessary to refer to
the following operations performed at
the hospital during the month of Jan.

GRIFFITH sNUBs PASSES

Denver, Feb. ia hero has been
discovered at the state capitol.
He is Benjamin Griffith, attorney
general, who announces that hereafter
he will not accept free transportation
from the railroads for himself or his
force or friends, states the Denver
Post -..-...-....--.-
''Yes, 1 have cut it OUT, says
Griffith, "but l am not looking for
any particular credit. My office is
handling six or seven suits against tue
railroads and 1 have thought it best
not to apply for free transportion.
''There are some departments of
the state government-for instance, the
land board and bank examiners office
that couldn't get along very well with
out railway passes, and is making ap-
preparations for these departments the
legislature undoubtedly have taken the
free transportation into consideration.
"Then this idea of getting free tick

and, we believe, also of the Glenwoo1

was state auditor in 1856 and was a

Interested Citizens Of Four Counties
Meet in Red Cliff to Discuss
Better Highways
NEXT MEETING IN LEADv|LLE

One hundred delegates from the three
counties of Garfield, Eagle and Lake
attended the meeting in Red Cliff Sat
urday night which was held with a
view to considering plans Of co-opera-
tion in improving the road from Buena
Vista to Glenwood Springs.
An organization was formed known
as the Holy Cross Division of the Lin
coin Memorial Highway association,
which includes the four counties of
Chaffee, Lake, Eagle and Garfield, ly-
ing on the route from Buena Vista to
Glenwood Springs. The work in i'm
proving the roads of these counties is
to be one phase of the work that vii
be done on the section of the Lincoln
Memorial Transcontinental route ex-
tending from Kit Carson county
through South Fork and Tennessee pass
and on to Utah. 1t is the aim of the
members of the association to prove
their right to be Incorporated in the
large route by making the road
from Buena Vista to Glenwood one of
the best in the state.
The officers of the new organization
elected Saturday night are as follows:
President, d. T. Kyle; Vice presi-
dent, E. D. Dickerman; secretary, j..
Fleming, of Red Cliff; assistant secre-
tary, J. w. Clarke; treasurer, DR.. w.
w. Crook, Glenwood Springs.
Vice-presidents-A. s. Little, Eagle
County; E. d. Dickerman, Lake coun-
ty; G. X. Diffendarfer, Garfield coun-
ty, and E. E. Wilbur, Chaffee county.
Executive committee-Chas. Coursen,

Eagle county; Michael Chrisman, Lake
county, and II. o. 'Switzer, Garfield
county.
Committee on By-Laws-Fred Porter,
Lake county; f. E. Kimball, Garfield
county; Frank Farnum, Eagle county,
and E. E. Wilbur, Chatfe county.
Publicity committee-Each county
will select its own members of this
committee.
The next meeting will be held IA
Leadville on March =, when the work
of the various officers will be taken up
and further plans made for advertising
this scenic roadway.
One matter discussed at the meet
ing was the plan of getting out
booklet containing colored views of
scenery and other points of interest
to tourists along the Holy Cross way
from Buena Vista to Glenwood. 1t was
proposed that the booklet should con
tain twenty views, six from the coun-
ties of Lake, Eagle and Garfield and
two from Chaffee county. 1t is likely,
however, that change will be made in
the plan and that six views from each
of the four counties will be included in
the booklet. The booklet will be sent
over the country with the idea of at
tracing tourists from all parts of the
country.
A committee consisting of commits
sioners of the four counties included
in the organization was appointed in
order to facilitate the efforts that ara
being made among the counties to CO.
operate in the Improvement of roads.

Mr.. Parks is one of the strong men of

being Elective for right. The only safe
course to follow in this great American
democracy is to provide for making
the popular judgment really effective.
But it is false constitutionalism, false
craftsmanship, to endeavor by the ex-
ercise of a perverted ingenuity to seem
to give the people full power and at
the same time to trick them out of it.
'Yet this is precisely what is done
in every case where the state permits
its representatives, whether in the
business world or in the exec
utive office to declare that it has
not the power to right grave social
wrongs or that any of the officers ere
ated by the people and rightfully the
servants of the people, can set them
selves up to be masters of the people
Constitution makers should make it
clear beyond a shadow of doubt that
the people in their legislative capacity
have the power to enact into law any
measure they deem necessary for the
betterment of social and industrial
conditions.
r. ~ hoid that he il the real progree-
sive, that he is the genuine champion
of the people, who endeavors to shape
the policy alike of the nation and of
the several states so as to encourage
legitimate and honest business at the
same time he wargs against all crook
edness and injustice and unfairness
and tyranny from the business world.
This is the reason why l have for so
many years insisted as regards our
national government, that it is both
futile and mischievous to endeavor to
correct the evils of big business by an
attempt to restore business conditions
as they were in the middle of the last
century, before railways and telegraphs
had rendered larger business organiza-
tions both inevitable and des;rable.'
