lMPRESsEs.THE OFFICE BOY
chIcaaoan Enthusiastic over Scheme
Which He Claims 10 Great Sue
cess In New York.

Gerald Jones came here from Chi
cago. Consequently there are a num-
Der of things about New York which
he compares with the same things In
Chicago-much to the disadvantage
of New York. One that chiefly irri'
tates him is the office boy habit here.
the Cincinnati Times-Star's New York
correspondent writes. Gerald Jones
enters the office Of friend Of his. A
small, cynical boy meets him at the
mahogany rail. Mr.. Jones declares
that he wishes to see his old college
pal, p. Norval Smith. The small boy
demands q card, and hands him q
blank form. write here what you
want to see him about" says the
small boy.
Mr. Jones protests. What he wants
to see Smith about Is something that
he does not propose to confide to any
small boy in the world-especially to
sentiment perilously approaching hate.
He waves his hand. He directs the
small boy in lordly way to take his
name and be quick about 1t, and never
mind the card. Just say Jerry Jones
Is here" he says to the small boy.
The small boy puts back the hunk
Of gum and sits down on his slippery
little bench and indicates with an air
Of finality that there will be nothing
doing until he gets the card he asked
for and the full history of Mr. Jones'
recent past. If Mr.. Jones gets In to
see p Norval Smith 1t is only by as
senting to the terms made by the
small boy. Therefore, Mr. Jones has
had fresh set of cards printed for
use upon the office boys Of his friends.
They bear the most awe inspiring
names-Jim Jeffries, for example, and
James J. Corbett and Packey McFar-
land and Cut Throat Jenkins, the ter.
ror of the guleh. He observes that
the small New York boy Is not we'll
posted upon the life and crimes of
Bloody Hand Ben, the scourge Of the
Sierras, but every one of them knows
all about the men Of the ring. "And
tell that old fool Smith," he bellows,
In the character Of Tom Sharkey
that If he doesn't come out here I'll
beat him to DEATH"
Gerald Jones Is perfectly happy. He
knows how to circumvent the Office
boy.

Influence Of College Men.

As educated men filter through the
community, reforms are obtained that
twenty years ago seemed millennial.
The separation Of local from state
sources Of revenue, the separation Of
local from national elections, the treat
ment of a franchise as valuable prop
erty, the discriminating between ordi-
nary industry and natural monopoly,
the practice Of scientific charity and
penology, the concentration Of respon-
sibility in government-these and a
score Of other good things which once
seemed as far above popular compre-
hension as four-dimenslonal space,
have come to pass, thanks chiefly to
the radiations from the classrooms. -.

their obligation by giving the value Of

PLANS MADE FOR SCHOOL YEAR
AT FORT LEWIS-HOPE FOR
LARGE APPROPRIATION

DR.. Chas. Lory, president Of the
state agricultural college, spent last
night in the city after putting in a
couple of days at Fort Lewis going
over the situation with Superintend-
ent Snyder. During the evening DR..
Lory met with the board of trade
committee at the office Of DR.. Davis,
Senator West being among those
present, to discuss the situation. AL
though handicapped by lack of funds,
owing to the state only having paid
20 per cent Of the 100000 appropri-
ated, the doctor feels very much en-
couraged with the work accomplished
In this connection the people of this
southwest district have DR.. Lory and
the members of the state board of
agriculture to thank for keeping the
school going. The state board carried
the Fort Lewis school until some
months ago when 20 Per cent, or $l5,-
600, was paid. The state board is
carrying the Fort Lewis school for u
large sum at the present time. The
board, however, expects to have the
money refunded by special appropria-
ton when the legislature convenes,
the same as it is expected the money
our people advance will be returned.
Should the state pay another 25 per
cent it will relieve matters very ma
terially and it is to be hoped that the
state treasurer will see his way clear
to make the payment. But whether
this is done or not the San Juan basin
counties cannot afford to have the
Fort Lewis school closed and will
have TO come to the rescue until the
legislature affords relief.
Arrangements are practically COM
pleted for the six months course the
coming winter DR.. Lory says he
does not expect he will be able to
visit the school again for some time.
He was importuned to remain over a
few days as guest of the board Of
trade and visit Electra lake and other
pleasure resorts but he said every mo-
ment of his time was taken up. He
has to meet with the state board on
the Sd Of August. On the Sth he
makes the principal address at the Wy
omiLg bankers convention at Chey-
clre and the rest Of the time prior
to the opening of the school at Fort
Collins his time will be taken up in
arranging the course Of studies, etc.
Durango and the other sections of
tre southwest are to be congratulated
on having a man like DR.. Lory at the
mead Of the Fort Lewis school and
members OF the state board who have
been loyal.

THE DENVER POST CONTEMPT.

The Denver Post proprietors are
not in the angel class. They may be
out for the coin. 1t is possible they
have gone trifle too far in regard to
matters before the court, but at the
same time the jail sentence and fine
imposed by Judge Shattuck on Mr..
Bonfils is outrageous and will greatly
increase the feeling against courts
and judges who usurp power hardly
attempted by the czar Of Russia. II a
judge is wrongfiilly maligned or IL
beled the same method of redress
should be open to him as the general
run of people. In the first place there
was no good reason for postponing
the trial Of the Post proprietors. The
ruling appears to be just as arbitrary
as the fine and Jail sentence Of Mr..
Bonfils. Under present conditions any
two-up judge can send man to Jail
or impose heavy fine, no matter II
the articles complained of are abso-
lutcly true. In the first first place,
no honest judge need fear the attacks
of newspaper. II he is honest and
unbiased in his decisions newspaper
attacks will prove boomerang in the
long run. Under court rules attor-
ncys can get up and attack the honor
and integrity Of the general public
or individuals. The character of hun
dreds Of witnesses have been wrong
fully blackened by attorneys trying
to win favor for their clients and
there is no redress. The Judge does
not interfere or attempt TO curtail the
vituperous -onsleught.
There was tims whsn ths peopIs
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-08-01

had respect for the courts and the
presiding officers, but the tyranical
policy of some judges who have been
elected through the agency of special
interests, is fast causing the people
to lose confidence in them. The Her
aid, were it SO inclined. might men
tiol specific instances where judges
have been furnished their campaign
money by corporations or individuals
representing special interests, and
then these judges are expected to
preside and decide cases on their mcr-
its. 1t is time the manner of select
ing the judiciary was overhauIed.
Politics should not be permitted to
cut any figure in their election. In
this connection the action Of the Dem
yer bar in holding meetings and by
vote selecting candidates without re-
gard to politics is to be commended.
Also, in this connection, The Herald
has not favored recall Of judges, but
the authority assumed by some, es-
pecially in the Denver case, is going
to bring about the recall just as sure
as fate and IL the people were to vote
on the proposition in Denver tomor-
row there is no question Of the recall
carrying three to one.

! NEW VERSION OF THE
MODERN SHEEP -HERDER

Common belief pictures the Sheep
herder of the great west as lonely
individual, maintaining solitary ex-
istence far from his fellow man, and
linked to civilization only by re-
tentive memory and a semi-annual
pack train. This view is now open to
revision, according TO c. II. Owen, a
Lodi, Cal, real estate man, who has
just finished transcontinental trip in
his Studebaker EMF go" Mr.. Owen
says that .the sheep herder of to-
day scoots about the range in a motor
car.
Away out on the plains Of Idaho
| saw a peculiar sight" says Mr..
Owen. "At first it looked like a prai-
rie schooner mounted on an automo-
bile chassis. As it drew near, / rec
ognized the car as Studebaker like
my own, except for the body which
was of the detachable tonneau type.
The schooner effect was caused by
the load. an immense pile Of sample
wool that the owner Of the car was
teking into Laramie.
Il struck up talk with the man
who owned the car and found that the
Studebaker was one Of pair in daily
use about the ranch. The car l saw
was used for hauling all sorts of sup
plies to the outlying parts Of the
ranch, and to town. Its longest trip
had been to Denver, and it brought
back a 900-pound engine on its re-
tim.
"1he other Studebaker car is Of the
touring type. and is used to whisk
shcarers and o.her help, about the
ranch.
"The owner Of the place told me
that these two cars had enabled him
to dispense with the services Of forty
six horses, as well as greatly Length
ening the working day Of his help
who lose but little time in their trips
from one part Of the farm 70 an-
other. Though the cars have been In
use for long time. they have ~
veIoped no mechanical trouble, and A.
cared for by herders Who have hnd
no prior motoring experiences what-
