TROUBLES OF FORGED
BILLS LAID TO LEAGUE
(Continued from page one)

ballot have in mind the proposition OF
making "A similar claim to the one made
preceding the Peabody Adams election.
That the direct legislation amendment
was not properly passed is claimed
That fraud has been committed In the
securing of signatures is admitted. mat
number of genuine signatures is also
admitted. That brokerage firms exist
for the purpose of securing names on
petitions is likewise admitted. That
the cost of submitting these bills and
amendments will approximate $3OO,ooo
is admitted, and under all these facts
department of the state is justified IN
taking charge of that part of the exec
utive department which relates to the
submission OF these proposed amend
ments and laws, and it is further
claimed that the judicial department
would be justified in preventing their
submission.
In the meantime if it is discovered
that the direct legislation amendment
was not properly passed it can be re
submitted by the next assembly, guard
ed with such amendments as the light
of subsequent events have demonstrat-
ed that it needs. If it shalt be deter
mined that it was properly enacted then
the coming legislature can enact strin-
gent laws that will prevent the estab-
lshment of name factories and that
will send to the penitentiary anyone
participating in the securing of forg
ed signature to a single petition.
There seems to be no doubt that
the Shafroth direct legislation league
is responsible for the most of our
troubles, so far as forged signatures
are concerned. The league settled on
number of bills it intended to ini-
tiate and practically furnished the
money 30 establish the name factory.
After this name factory got to working
the other persons who were desirous
of submitting proposed laws ascer-
tanned that the names could be Sc
cured through this factory much cheap
er than they could so them them
selves and they employed this factory
to get them.
There are those who freely declare
that the first statute that must be en-
acted to protect the people of the state
under the working of any direct legis-
lation constitutional amendment is IA
statute preventing the establishment of
name factories.

At tho Bird Store Window.


The bird store window Is an unfail.
ing attraction to many people. Per.
haps it attracts men more than WON.
en-, but 1t is a magnet that draws all
children.
Let small boys or girls discover a
bird store and they halt and linger
long, wondering over or admiring the
strange or beautiful feathered crea
lures within, and children walking
With their mother If they should spy
this window are sure to tug her to
ward it to give them chance to look
In. The bird store window interests
all children, as 1t appears to interest
also many grown men who may be
drawn to it by natural fondness for
birds and animals, or be attracted by
the novel or striking character Of the
exhibit on view.
Here, for instance, in this window
lis q white peacock, remarkable bird
seen with its plumage in whatever
form. AS with characteristic delibera
ton 1t walks about with its long tail
feathers folded and trailing people
stop to look at 1t, and then let it raise
and spread its great white fan and
many more halt and gather in crowd
around the window-New York Sun.

SHES been up hero thirty times
said the court omcer. with q backward
Jerk Of his thumb.
She wasn't a bad looking girl at all
Not many months ago she had been a
very good looking girl indeed. In
spite Of the slush underfoot and the
drizzling rain that had been falling,
she was not noticeably bedraggled
when she came into the night court
for women. One chiefly noticed thai
her eyes were dull and her bearing
careless. She had become used to
the routine Of her life--and that rou.
tine included the court. Emotion had
been burned out of her by the caustic
Of existence. A fare Of drunken an.
Ber-a maudlin sob-were her limits
of expression. She mounted the bridge
drearily. hopelessly. 1t was evident
enough the girl didn't care.
ASK her"
A buzz Of whispering filled the court
room. One looked up to see a bevy
Of handsomely dressed women sitting
by the side Of the Judge. They wore
evening gowns. Gems sparkled against
the pallor of their breasts. Their fair
shoulders were protected against the
draughts OF the filthy courtroom by
costly furs. They rested white kid
elbows upon the judges desk and
propped their arrogant and complacent
faces in slender hands and stared that
dingy courtroom down. The Judge
mad obviously been dining with them.
His handsome face was flushed and
he often laughed behind his hand
with the prettiest Of his callers. AT
their prompting he asked that poor
bedeviled, hopeless woman who stood
before him questions that were still
cruelty impertinent, though he was a

court some hundred odd years ago.

silkily. The women who sat by his
side upon bench that had been de-
fled, stretched out their pretty hands
and patted him gently upon the arm.
"How good you are to these people,
said one to him, addressing him by his
irst name.
The old court officer was leading
the woman toward the door. A bright
spot burned high upon her cheek
bones. The flames Of rage nared tr
her widely opened, staring eyes

was found that he had done just as
much work as little less than two
ounces of coal could do
Taking all the energy put forth by
hard-working man during one whole
year, the same amount of force would
be furnished by SO pounds of good
coal, or say 40 pounds of average
coal
We produce six tons head of pop
ulation, and this contains the energy
of 336 men working for whole year.
Of course, even in our best engines
the greater part of the working en-
ergy of coal is wasted But even If
only one-tenth is turned to account,
one and half hundred weight of coal
is equal to a man working for 800
days Of the year.
A horse can do as much work as ten
men, but one and a quarter pounds of
coal has as much working force as a
horse expends in one day. So that
ton Of coal, if We could use all its
force, would do as much work as six
horses working for whole year.

Sense Of Smell.

The tenth part of a grain of musk
will continue for years to fill a room
with it's odoriferous particles, and at
the end of that time it will not be ap
preciably diminished in weight.
A cubic inch of air arising from the
flame Of Bunsen burner has been
found to contain no fewer than four
hundred and eighty-nine million dust
particles.
A drop of blood that might be sus,
pended from the point of needle con,
tains about million of red corpuscles.
Yet, although matter is so marvel
ously divisible, the olfactory nerves
are infinitely more sensitive. Much
yet remains to be investigated with
reference to these nerves which dis.
criminate with such apparently mi.
raculous accuracy.-Harper's Weekly.

JOHN w. RITTER GOES
UNDER THE KNIFE

John w. Ritter, a pioneer of Gar
field county and a well known business
man of New Castle, has been in Ill
health for some time and he recently
came to Glenwood where DIR. Clark
made careful examination and in
formed his patient that he was suffer
ing from appendicitis, the case being
complicated with intestinal adhesions
and very similar to that which some
time ago ended the life of Rev. G. A.
Foote. He advised the sick man to
submit to an operation before the
pains became severe and accordingly
Ritter came to the Glenwood sanitari-
um and last Monday was operated on
by DIR. r. i. j. Schmitz, assisted by
DR.. Stewart and DIR. Clark.
The operation was very successful
and Mr.. Ritter is recovering nicely at
this time.

He'd Have to Pay.

A story was told the other day in
Washington, apropos of very arti.
fetal and self-conducted boom:
BLANK, you know, was to visit his
state last week. Well, a friend said
to him, just before he set off:
"T suppose they will give you q
magnificent ovation, Mr.. Blank?'
BLANK frowned, twisted his mus
tache, and answered in a nervous alb
sentminded way:
"'Well, don't know. My bank ac-
count has sunk terribly low of late.''

WILD TIMES IN HONDURAS
Bandit Crew From Guatemala Raids .
Village and Carries Of All
the Women.

Parallelling the robbery Of the Sab
Inc women in early Roman hmistory, 6
bandit crew from Guatemala dashed
across the border recently and car
ried off the women Of a tiny village
Excitement runs high, both here and
throughout the colony. since the an
nouncement that no troops could be
sent to run the thieves to earth. Tha,
plans for a private invasion of Guate
mala are in progress there is no doubt
A posse is expected to leave In day
or two well provided with arms and
ammunition, to accompany the men OF
the village to the mountain lair where
1t is thought, the brigands ,hold their
fair captives.
The border near the point where the
Mexican, Guatemala and British Hon
duran lines join is infested with out
laws, who, by jumping from one coun
try to the other, avoid the rather lax
vigilance which Is maintained by the
police departments In this vast and
sparsely settled region. Near the line, in
British territory, is the village Of Bull
let Tree Bank, one of the chicle sta
tions on the Upper Belize river. AT
present only ten families are making
their homes in the place.
1t was during the day that the rob

other women, who were in the houses,
heard screams and ran out to see their
friends and relatives being driven be-
lore band of no less than IL men.
The alarm was given as soon as pos.
sible, but as the men of the village
were several miles away and widely
scattered in the forests, 1t was night
before all were summoned home.
Their lack Of sufficient firearms made
pursuit impossible until arms and
ammunition had been secured.
Loading their effects into canoes
and bringing the remaining women
and children with them, the chicle
gatherers came down stream as rapid.
ly as the current and sturdily piled
paddles could bring them.
On arrival here their story was soon
circulated throughout the city. First
the authorities were consulted. but II
soon was apparent that the red tape
surrounding legal procedure would bar
any effective action. Many men vol

Chess, and the Game of Life.

An Indian philosopher thus describes
chess: 1T is representative con.
test, a bloodless combat an image not
only of actual military operation, but
Of that greater warfare, which every
son of the earth, from the cradle to
the grave, is continually waging-the
battle Of life" One sees clearly that,
even going back to it's birth, the par.
allelism between chess and men ex-
lists, for does anybody know just when,
where and how the first man appeared
on earth? Also, is it not fact that
mans attributes and nature have re-
mained unchanged throughout cen.
turies, and that chess was played
much In the same way, each chess
man moving in its allotted manner
even five thousand years ago?
