Will the Women Persevere?
From the Chicago Journal.

Englishwomen who endeavor to keep
up with the styles are reported as in
rebellion against the "panier" prescribed
as good FORM by the Partisan fashion
magnates. These women have but just
acquired familiarity with the structure
and use of the "hobble" and the tube -
AS result Of conscientious obedience to
the dictates of fashion. they have
BEEN able to make themselves look
smalr'-that is, most of them.
Now they rebel against the dictum
which would transform them into look
ing fat.
Changes in fashions are not occasions
for special opposition. But, when Paris
seeks to make changes in physique,
British womanhood asserts its independ-
ence.
But-will these English DANES and
misses maintain their ground?

MIND AND MUSCLE.
Training Of Former Necessary to
Success of Latter.

NEW York, April 2o-In these days
when people discuss in considerable de-
tail the relation Of mind to matter and
are prone to consider the psychological
side OF nearly every question it becomes
an axiom that the success Of a man in
sports or any other competition depend
ing on the physical rests on the recog-
milton of the power of the mind over the
muscles HE can who thinks he can"
is true more particularly of golf than Of
any other game. A man who believes 1t
possible to make stroke finds the stroke
actually possible. A player who elini-
mates the impossible from his mind
evolves a possible victory. The tSained
mind In connection with trained muscles
must necessarily win over mere trained
muscles In the long route.

HIGH SCORES DECREASED.
College Ball Teams Not Making
Runs as They Used TO.

NEW YORK, April 20.-In these days
OF good pitching high scores in college
base ball games have decreased in almost
the same proportion as they have In pro-
fessional contests, and indeed in the
games between the larger college mines
lately there have been few high-score
contests. In the '7Os and even as late
as 1895, high-score games were not near
ly as uncommon as they are now. II
the records are correct Lafayette has
scored more runs IN one base ball game
than any other college nine. In 1877
lafayette bn the first game of the
series with Lehigh by q score of "a to IS
and In the second contest established the
extraordinary record of IS runs to Le-
highs 20. One hundred and eight runs
in one game is almost like that total
score In some Carlisle Indian foot ball
games. The next highest score made by
college team seems to have been in the
Mmnesota-Michigan game In 1893, which
the Wolverines won by q score Of 81 to Z.

White SOLDIERS SHOOT
UP DELAWARE CITY

Newcastle, Del, Aug. 27.-The
suburb of Dobbinsville, near here,
is terrorstricken, following the
shooting up of the town today
by members of the Eighty first
Coast Artillery. None of the 700
Inhabitants of tho town was in
jured. Several of the soldiers en-
gagged in rifle practice at the state
rifle range just south of this city
are said to have been worsted IN a
dispute with some young men who
reside in Dobbinsville, Desiring
revenge, the soldiers, armed with
heavy-bore rifles, started to shoot
up the town. Citizens crawled un-
der beds, hid in closets, and fed
in terror to their cellars when the
shooting commenced,
For more than twenty minutes
the fusilade of lead was kept up.
Bullets crashed through windows,
glanced from the sides of dwellings
and sung by the heads of terror
stricken residents. From so to
100 shots were fired Twenty men
are said to have taken part in the
firing. The main point of attack
seemed to be Clark street house,
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. William
Mohr and their four children,
ranging in age from twelve to
eighteen years, and Mr.. and Mrs.
John Corbett and son, five years
old.
Nearly every window was shot
from the house, and SO hot was the
fusilade that bricks were shot from
their fastenings on the window
ledges. Mohr appeared at tie
window and implored the soldiers
to withdraw, but shot aimed di-
rectly at him caused him to retire
in haste.
Mayor Rodney has taken up the
affsir with the commandant at Fort
Dupont and courtmartial has

DANGER OF

Tending humanity, but it is even
more Objectionable as service of
notice that in so far as may be,

public, the Constitution and the
times. Surely lawyers should be

The Colorado statesman., 1912-09-14

The Colorado Statesman has for sew
erai years pointed out the danger that
would follow in the wake of Prohibit
ton, which, regardless of its conse-
quence, would lay waste many of our
greatest industries. Judge from the
proposed amendment that will be SUBJ
mitted at the November election.
Colorado will be made dry state un-
less the people are alive to their duty
and vote against the amendment.
The interest of the state and that of
those who have invested their money
must be protected. It is not a ques-
ton of who shall drink or who shall

whether the state shall advance along
lawful lines or be classified among
the reactionary ones that can present
to the capitalist and laborer nothing
but taxes and idieness. In every fight
thus far this paper has in small
measure done its part in presenting
to the people the true condition of
affairs, and in this instance will say
that the large increase in population
and the enormous increase of capital
within it's borders would not have been
had the state been in the Prohibition
list. This no sane person will deny"
Il must be admitted that the farmer,
iaborer and the railroads are bene-
fitted by conditions as they now ex-
ist, and that the government, national
and state, derives a large revenue
from this business, which is conduct
ed according to law, and that our city
would be deprived of hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually that it
now collects as taxes, etc, the bur-
den of which would fall upon the

the fanatical torture of the Prohibi-
ZIONIST.
This warning is given SO that every
voter may have ample time to study
the question thoroughly, so that his
or her ballot may be cast intellisently
which should certainly be against
State Wide Prohibition.
