DENVER COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT SQUABBLE.

The situation in Denver remains
just as it was last week. The Citizens
party has not decided what action it
will take in order to over come the
difficulties raised by the Supreme
Court decision. In fact, the members
of the Citizens party are divided
among themselves over what to do.
One-half of them are in favor of going
ahead, holding the election and TAX
ing chances. The other half favor the
abandonment of the present plan and
of holding the regular election and
then attempt to secure a commission
form of government for Denver in
the regular way during the summer
That is, to petition the council to call
a special election to determine whether
or not Denver wants commission
form of government. If Denver votes
to have the election, then hold the
regular series of elections until the
commission government is secured.
Another element desires to submit the
commission form of government at
the regular election, and at the same
time to elect the regular Officials
with the understanding that if the
commission form of government car
ries, five of the officials elected shall
become the commissioners, while if it
doesn't carryr then those elected will
to do this second amendment will
to do this second emendement will
have to be added to the already pend
ing amendment. The facts are, the
Citizens people are completely in the
air as to what to do. They realize
that they stand a good change of
losing out completely SO far as i'm
mediate results are concerned What
they at first considered big victory
for commission form of government
is turning out to be strong boomer
ang. The trouble is, so many of them
considered it a victory that they held
celebration and they are not in
position to state the real facts as
they now exist.

PEKIN WILL BE TEMPORARY
CAPITAL OF NEW REPUBLIC

NANKING, China, March Sin an
effort TO restore order and inaugurate
a stable government as soon as pos
sible, it is understood that DR.. Sun
Yat Sen and his advisors have de-
cided to go to Peking and make that
city, for the present at least, the cap
ital Of the new republic. This step
is regarded as advisable on account
of the mutinous spirit evinced by the
troops in the vicinity Of the city Of
Peking and the general unrest.
PEKING, March 5.-Yuan Shi Kai's
official statement, issued today
places the number killed during the
mutiny here at five thousand, and the
property loss at more than fourteen
million dollars. The city is quiet as
a result Of the presence Of 10000 for

Western Press.
DENVER, March 5.-An agreement
has been signed between the officers
of the American Fuel company and
the United Mine Workers of America
which settles the strike in eight of
the largest producing mines in the
coal camps of northern Colorado. To-
morrow 300 men will return to work
and in ten days 10000 strikers will
be back in the mines.
This is decisive victory for the
union. The men are given an increase
of 3 cents ton on run Of mine and s
per cent increase over the day wages
scale of 1908 and for yardage, dead
work, etc. The Louisville, or uniform,
scale is adopted in all eight mines.
The miners have been contending for
this uniformity for years.

That Is where the shoe pinches. The
rust has feared the effect of the beet

That l. where the shoe pinches. The
trust has feared the effect Of the beet
sugar industry of the west, which de-
spite the high price paid American la
bor would soon put down the price of
sugar to the consumer while at the
same time building up great in
dustry for the west and furnishing a
market for profitable crop from the
farms of our country.
Not only did Mr.. Atkins confess
this real reason for desire for the
removal of the tariff on sugar, but SO
did every other officer and represen-
tative of the companies called to the
witness stand.
The Democrats in congress unearth-
ed these facts and yet knowing the
conditions they draft just the kind of
bill desired, to aid in driving out Of
existence growing industry and one
which promises relief to the consum-
ing public.
As against the facts, that 100000
tons of beet sugar tended to drive
down the price of sugar for three
months of the year, the Democrats
say removal of the duty will bring
cheaper sugar. How true is this ar
gument was demonstrated in the four
years there was no duty ON sugar. The
price went down but a fraction of
the amount of duty removed and in
one of those free sugar years, 1898,
the trust paid out over ten million
dollars in cash dividends, or more
money in dividends in one year than
the total value of all the refineries
owned by the trust.
Colorado farmers, who if sugar is
put on the free list would lose a Ger
tain and profitable crop, and the con-
suming public, which would continue
to pay high prices for necessary
commodity to enrich few stockhold-
ers in the eastern refineries and to
send abroad to pay labor, will have an
opportunity to voice their dissatisfac-
ton with party so false as the Dem
ocrats have again shown themselves
to be at the polls next November

NO FUNDS FOR CIVIL
SERVICE employees.

At the present time the state offici-
ais and the civil service commission
are enjoying a Bryan Harmon fight
over the payment of the employees in
the state institutions. The last legis-
lature refused to appropriate any
money for the civil service commits
sioner. The commission refuses to
OK. salary rolls until its own expen-
ses are paid. The auditing board ap-
propriated few hundred dollars to
meet these expenses. Treasurer Ken
chan refuses to pay this money on
the ground that had the legislature
wanted it paid it would have appro-
priated it. The law forbids the pay
ment of any salaries not @. KID by
the civil service commission. In a
number of towns where state insti-
tutions are located, the banks have
paid the pay-rolls supposing that they
would go through the same as usual
Instead, the vouchers were returned

urging payment from the state or
from the employees whose salaries they
advanced.

cratic business methods.

ministration, if all debts are paid,

No table has been given out by the

calculating final results. From this
knowledge it is possible to make up

primarily for public consumption.

BEET GROWERS PROTEST
AGAINST FREE SUGAR BILL
Western Press.

Western Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
The beet sugar producers of the coun-
try have entered a protest with the
way and means committee Of the
house against the free sugar bill,
claiming its adoption will destroy their
business and, at the same time, be n
complete victory for big eastern refin-
ers who would have practically a mo-
nopoly under it. The protest is ad-
dressed to Chairman Underwood and
is signed by C. C. Hamlin Of Colorado,
chairman of the committee of the
United States beet sugar industry,
representing 80 per cent Of the pro-
ducers, and says in part;
"The passage of such bill by wip
ing out the home production of beet
sugar would absolutely destroy COM
petition and would establish monopoly
in the hands Of feweastern refiners
and would mean the confscation not
alone of one hundred million dollars
invested in beet sugar factories, but
probably Of as much more directly or
indirectly upon the beet sugar busi-
ness.
ut would take away from Ameri-
can farmers the thirty million dollars
which they receive annually from their
beet crops and destroy the industry
which promises more as an adjunct to
the intensive farming and scientific
agriculture than any other ever es-
tablished in the country"

THE MAKING OF A VIRGlNgAls
Diet Seems to Play Important Part l.1 Making True Gentleman of
 Old Dominion.

The subtle connection which ex- ists between diet and the special characteristics of the various branches of the human race is point ed out by Dr. George W. Bagby in ''The Old Virginia Gentleman" who says that a Virginian could not be a Virginian without bacon and greens. He also tells some of the other things that must go to the making of a true Virginian.
 He must have fried chicken, stewed chicken, broiled chicken anu chicken pie; old hare, butter beans, new potatoes, squirrel, cymlins. snaps, barbecued shoat, roas'n ears. buttermilk, hoe-cake, ash-cake, pan cake, ,fritters, potpie, tomatoes, June apples, wallles, sweet milk, parsnips. artichokes, scrambled eggs, goobeI peas, fried apples, popcorn, persim- mon beer, apple bread, milk and peaches, mutton stew, dewberries, batter cakes, muskmelons, hickory nuts, cartridges, honey in the honey comb, snappin' turtle eggs, damson tarts, catfish, cider, hot light bread and cornfield peas all the time; but he must not intermit his bacon and greens.
 He must butt heads with little negroes, get the worst of it, and run crying to tell his ma about it; wear white yarn socks with green toes and yarn gallowses; make frog house. over his feet in the wet sand and find woodpeckers' nests; meddle with the negro men at hog-killng time. and be in everybody's way generally; upset beehives, bring wasps' nests into the house, and get stung oyer the eye by a yellow jacket; watch setting turkeys; own a bench-leg flee and speckled shoat; wade in the branch; eat too many black-heart cherries; try to tame a catbird; call doodle-bugs out of their holes. and keep on eating bacon and greens.- Youths Companion.

OLD-TlME SUNDAY GOLF.

Golf appears to have given the seventeenth century Sabbath admin rators of Scotland more trouble han any other form of frivolity. In he previous century the fascination of the game had Sunday license, but in the seventeenth the clubs were banned during the hours of divine worship. Here is a typical entry from the registers of Perth in Janu- ary, 1904:
 "The visitors report that guid or der was keeped the last Sabbath, ex- cept that they found some young boys playing at the gowf in the North Inch, in the time of preaching afternoon, who were warned then by the ofliciars to compear before the session this day" The half-dozen culprits escaped with a fine of ''ane merk' and a public exhibition of themselves to the congregation.

BULLDOGGlMG A STEER.

Perhaps there is no contest that is a greater tax on human endurance than that demanded by "bulldog- ging" steer, and the "bulldogger" must go it alone.
 The pony is as great factor as the man, for when once the lasso rests over the horns of the range ami maj. all depends on the rapid way in which the mustang wheels so that the trailing rope will trip the steer.
 When the steer is on the ground the plucky pony must keep the rope taut. The range rider leaps off, and with length of rope ties the steers four feet together. Time is then called. Unless he has completed all these operations from the word go in less than three minutes he is not deemed fit to enter the finals. As a matter of fact one contestant cut the time to go seconds, worlds record. Sunset Magazine.

"I want" explained the advertise ing man, 'I want a picture that has the idea of speed in it-real speed. 1 want it to go at a regular marathon. But it's got to be new. It's got to have a punch.

 ''Yes, I sec" The artist from whom the drawing was being or dered nodded and picked up a pen- cil. "IIow about Mercury? Some thing like this.'
 He sketehed, rapidly, the figure of the messenger of Olympus, winged sandals, winged cap, symbolic staff, and all. The advertising man watched him in silence, and when the tentative drawing was finished looked it over approyingIy.
 Seems all right" he commented. But what does it mean? Who's Mercury?"
 "Oh, Mercury? He was the speed- jest thing that ever liyed,' the artist declared. "lIercury was the god of speed, you know"
