MISSED FOOTBALL GAME
And Had Narrow Escape From
Missing All Future Games

While on the way to- Fort Lyons on
Saturday last for football game with
the sailor boys four members of the
Rocky Ford team we're mixed up in an
automobile accident from which it was
considered miraculous that they escaped
without receiving dangerous il not fatal
injuries.
According to report Linnear Tuttle the
chauffeur, was driving along at pretty
good lick and had reached point about
two miles from LaJunta when he attemp-
ted to pass carriage containing couple
of yonng ladies. but the latter evidently
believed that the driver of the car intend
ed passing on the side opposite that IN
which it was headed and turned their
team to the wrong side of the road. In
trying to dodge the rig the car was over
turned and all of the occupants we're
lying unconscious along the roadway
when the Mortified witnesses of the aeci-
dent in car a short distance behind
reached the scene of the accident,
The boys were loaded into the following

one of the small bones of the wrist. The
other lads-George Beall. Walter Swink

driver, were all more or less severely
injured. but luckily none had received
dangerous injury and after having their
wounds bound and dressed they were
able to return to their homes where they

Our Lord Jesus is to be the Great King of the world during that millenial age! and the heavenly Fla ther purposes to select from among men a little flock" to be our Lords associates in the work of uplifting and blessing the world of mankind. The first to be accepted into this Kingdom condition received the holy spirit at Pentecost Since then, all who sim larly consecrate and are similarly be- gotten of the holy spirit are accepted as of the same class, namely, as mem bers of the kingdom class. If faithful through the trials and testings of the present life these shall be kings and priests unto God" and unto Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years for the uplifting and blessing of man kind (Revelation i:6; xX:D. The least one in this class will have a higher station than John the Baptist or an of the prophets of the preceding dis pensation; for all these will be spirit beings on the spirit plane On the contrary, while John, with all the faithful of the past, will have great blessings, yet, since they will be on the earthly plane, their blessings will be restitution blessings to human per- lection, etc.

BOSTON WANTS THE GRAND
 TRUNK.

While Providence indulged in lit- tie gibing at New London because the Grand Trunk had selected that city for it's New England terminal because it felt cocksure of the prize. it now appears that Boston not only covets the enterprise, but is moved to do all it can to get it.
 The Boston Post, alluding to the matter on Tuesday morning, said:
 Tt would be trite and conventional to expatiate further on the benefits to be gained by the city and the port of Boston by the advent of the Grand Trunk railroad. The thing to do now is to encourage its coming in every way and to put all our civic and other resources at its disposal.
 We do not believe that in the pres ent state of public opinion any legis- lature of Massachusetts would dare refuse the Grand Trunk the right of way itAseeks. Nor will any other railroad venture to work any game of obstruction in the general court or before the railroad commission.
 The Grand Trunk is coming, and it will not be healthy for any inter est to get in its way"

THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR Wo-
 MEN,

The report of the minimum wage commission of Massachusetts to the legislature shows that a large per cent. of women in that state are wage slaves, for with all their labor they do not earn supporting wage.
 The report shows that forty-tne per cent. of the candy workers, about ten per cent. of the saleswomen, more than sixteen per cent. of the laundry work CTS, and twenty eight per cent. of the cotton workers-these all being "wo- men over eighteen"-earn less than five dollars a week.
 This is no credit to a civilized com monwealth. 1t makes these women dependent and if they have homes and pool in their earnings the family must be taxed 10 clothe them so that they can make a good appearance. There is no reason why for the same efficiency of service women Should not receive the same pay for their work as men.
 The Boston Transcript takes the right ground when 1t says:
 Every consideration of public Dol icy seems to dictate the expediency of doing something for these lowest paid among the workers, since, if the state does not intervene in their be- half at the beginning, 1t almost surely will have to do so, in the form of charity, at the end. It may be that the estn blishment of a minimum wage will meet the demands of justice. In two ways 1t would tend directly to benefit the employer, since it would enable him to rid himself of the com petition of sweaters. and would en- courage him to study the economic possibilities of his force and to de- velop the underpaid to a profitable point of efficiency. Possibly 1t is along this general line of getting together that the projected measure would re- veal It's chief usefulness."

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

The fact that Postmaster General Hitchcock is to recommend govern ment ownership of the telegraph lines has led to a new discussion of this old proposition.
 Is it more important that the gov- ernment should own the telegraph lines than the mines of the country? |? To have either out of service would, of course, be very embarrassing to the government and the business of the country.
 There is a strike impending in Great Britain among the coal miners and the other day the president of the Scottish Miners federation was asked what would happen if the mine own ers failed to yield to the demands of the British coal diggers. who are now engaged in voting upon the recom- mendations to strike.
 Every colliery in Great Britain" !" he answered, Twill cease work. The railways, gas works, electric works and mills will be stopped within a month and the fleet within six weeks will be so much scrap iron.'
 When there is a big railroad tie-up then the whole nation is distressed all industries under such conditions would soon be paralyzed.
 Four or five European governments are working the telegraph proftably and giving the patrons lower rates, but whether the service is better or not is not readily learned.
 It would more than double the of fee holders of the country. Is it the way to larger freedom to have the public utilities owned by the govern ment and the office holders increased to millions?

THE MAN WHO HELPED
 M'MANIGAL AT OMAHA
His Identity Made Known to Federal
 Grand Jury Yesterday.

Indianapolis, Jan. 16.--When you arrive in Omaha to blow up the pow CT house you will be met by some body who will show you where it is."
 That statement said by Ortie E. Nc Manigal, the confessed dynamiter, to have been made to him by John J. McNamara, the convicted secretary treasurer of the International Associa- ton of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, was inquired into at the fed eral grand jury's investigation of the dynamite conspiracy today. McMan igal says, in response to the instruc- tions from McNamara, he went to Omaha in July, 1910, to blow up the power plant of an "open shop" con tractor and was met by man whose name he gave.
 McManigal said the man told him he had communicated with McNamara about the job to be blown up, that the man himself could not do 1t because he was not experienced in explosives and so McManigal was chosen.
 McManigal is to be kept continu- ously before the grand jury for the next three days, describing orally and more in detail than was given in his written confession, his movements from the time he was induced to go into the dynamiting business at De- troit in June. 1907, down to his arrest last April.

STATE AID.

The million voted by the state to improve New London harbor has es- tabIished a precedent for state aid which is broader than that of helping civil war veterans or aiding the towns in the construction of good roads, and other towns are looking hopefully to- ward the state treasury.
 The Manchester Herald says: ''The city of New Britain is talking of a barge canal to Middletown to follow the course of the Mattabesett river. Inland waterways are being strongly
 urged these days and their commer- eial possibilities are said to be al most unlimited Perhaps it may be not 50 many years before we can turn the Hockanum river into a barge ca nal. If such a plan is practical for New Britain 1t ought to be just as good for Manchester"
 Then the Bristol Press speaks up and says. Bristol is at the head of canoe navigation on the Pequabuek, and is too modest to ask for a deep waterway to the Sound. But she has a lot of rocky farms that the owners cannot afford to clean up. If they were improved they would become quick assets for the municipality and would add materially to the grand list. Therefore Bristol as a municipality may ask the legislature for a million for blasting purposes"
 Quite likely all the cities in this part of the state might be able to make a plea for state aid as means of promoting their interests, for what ever advances the interests of a city, of course, advances the interests of the state.
 This may seem like weak argu- ment; but it is as strong as half the arguments made before legislative committees.

You certainly deserve congratula- tions and encouragement" said James worthy as he rose from the table. Tt always affords me pleasure to hand bouquet when it has been earned. The grub you have been dishing up for the last day or two Is the real stuff. Ev- erything has been cooked the way l like it and 1t has been a privilege rather than painful duty to sit up to the grooming board and refresh my self. Go on in the path you have marked out, Mrs. JamesWorthy, and your name will be written there on the page white and fair, or words to that effect"
 "Tm glad you noticed the improve ment," replied Mrs. Jamesworthy, mod estly. "A few days ago Mrs. Howdy dropped in and talked so much about her achievements in cookery that l thought perhaps I wasn't doing my full duty in that line, and made up my mind to take more interest in it."
 Well, you are making a great hit, my dear, and I'm glad that Laura Howdy blew in and gave you an in spiration. Laura is a mighty good cook herself, and every man in this ward takes off his lid at the mention of her name. She comes pretty close to being the ideal housewife. I sup pose she pushes herself tc a club meet ing now and then and takes an intelli- gent interest in public matters, but she realizes that all such things are of secondary importance. The first duty of a wife is to make her home a haven of rest and her toll worn husband who bleeds and dies daily in the changing mart in order that she may wear diamonds and basl1 on doWny beds of ease. If woman doesn't see that her husband has better feed than he can get at a livery stable she's a false alarm, and 1t doesn't make any differ ence what she thinks of woman suf- frage or any other question.
 "The women who write flapdoodle for the magazines have lot to say about hearts, but when we come down to brass tacks stomachs are a lot more important than hearts. If my wife gives my stomach a run for its money my heart will look out for itself. Go where you will on land or at sea, Mrs. Jamesworthy, and whenever you find a happy home you will discover upon

WoRKlNeMEN's CONDEMNATION.

The supreme court of the United States has, after careful consideration, found that the 1908 workingmen's compensation act passed by congress is constitutional A point raised against this statute was that it did not further discriminate between those employees whose occupation is neces- sarily hazardous and those engaged in branches of railroading that in- volve no peculiar danger. With this settlement of the case. 1t is expected congress will proceed with yet more liberal legislation, carrying the prin- ciple of workingmens compensation and perhaps applying 1t to interstate employment other than what apper- tains to railroads. The decision, fur ther, pronounces the authority of state courts to enforce federal statute when local laws are appropriate"
 Referring to this phase of the de- cision, the Providence Journal says: This recalls the heated controversy between Chief Justice Baldwin of Connecticut and Colonel Roosevelt when the former was running for governor.
 Tt appears that one of these cases before the supreme court had been thrown out of the Connecticut courts The controlling decision of the state court in the instance which Colonel Roosevelt assisted to make celebrated pronounced an essential section of the federal statute unconstitutional be- cause it denies employees, one and all, liberty of contract; that is, as Colonel Roosevelt insisted. liberty to assume all risks to life and limb. The sec ton expressly declares that contract of that kind is void, and the supreme court now upholds it's constitutional ity. Judge Baldwin threatened a libel suit against the Colonel, charging that he had perverted the meaning of the ruling. The Colonel went out of his way to denounce the reasoning of the chief justice as a relic of barbarism,' the exposition of an empty and imag- mary theory of freedom opposed to the known fact that. to a large extent, there is no freedom in the contract the employe makes with the employ er.' The libel suit was dropped"

THEIR ENGAGEMENT WAS
 FOR ONLY THREE YEARS
Unique Defense of Ralph Voorhies in
 Breach of Promise Suit.

New York, Jan. I6.-In defending himself from an accusation of breach of promise of marriage today, Ralph J. Voorhies, nephew of Postmaster E. w. Voorhies of Brooklyn, declared on the witness stand that his former fiancee, Miss Faith E. Moore, had vol untarily surrendered 8 three-year op- tion she held on his devotion Miss Moore, who was only 1S years old when shs met Voorhies in 1905, asked $25,000 damages, because, after an engagement to Miss Moore of two years, he married Adele Goufton. trained nurse who took care of him after an operation for appendicitis. The jury awarded her S1.000.
 My engagement to Miss Moore was not defnite,' MT. Voorhies said in tes- tifying. we agreed that we would regard it as three-year option to be broken by either of us, as to whether we should marry
 Voorhies declared his optional fan cee had deliberately drawn out of the contract by announcing their en- gagement at an end when he was in the sanitarium being nursed back to health by Miss Goufton.

INFANT FROZEN ON
 ITS MOTHERS BREAST
Tragic Continuation of Struggle
 Against Poverty and Disease.

New York, Jan. 16-A hospital surgeon who went today to the two bare, bitterly cold rooms occupied by an East Side couple, found their two months old baby frozen to death on it's mothers breast. The young moth CT, Mrs. John Cauljitska, who was crippled with rheumatism and half |. starved, fought to prevent her child, which she believed still alive, being taken from her. Finally she swooned and was carried to an ambulance.
 The father watched the proceedings in dumb grief The hapless little fam fly had not slept last night on ac- count of the cold, when the culmina- tion came of struggle against pov- erty that had lasted six months dur ing which he had been out of work.
