ing thousands te<better lives.
Convinced that the fall of deficient
and delinquent children who go to
swell the great mass of sinful and
criminal humanity may be traced -di-
rectly to the failure of parents in two
fundamental duties they owe their
offspring, DR.. Orme had this admoni-
ton to give to fathers and mothers:
First, parents should at all times
from earliest childhood, have that
priceless possession, the genuine con
fidence of their child-a confidence
that will cause the child not merely
to obey, but also to trust and to feel
implicitly that the parent is at all
times and under all circumstances the
best friend, the most constant COM
panion, and the wisest and most will
ling companion. Second, that in order
to earn and to deserve his confidence,
parents must be frank in responding
to the natural inquiries of their child;
yea, more, they must divine the I'M
spoken question at the right time and
answer it clearly and in a manner
that will invite further questions as
the child deyelopes into manhood and
womanhood"
Dr. Orme also decried the disap-
pearance of the home girl"
Where is the home girl of today?"
he asks-"the girl that helps her
mother handle the household duties,
that comforts the baby brother, and
strengthens and untangles life's do
nestle skeins? Why she's on the
streets, at moving picture shows, at
card parties, or the theatre, or the
social function-too often in the raj
ment WHICH costs her mother the last
drop Of life's blood.

rity borroWs trouble.

JULY 5 LATEST
FILING DATE

All initiated bills will have to be
filed with the secretary of state not
later than July 5, in order to be
placed on the ballot for the Novem-
ber election
This ultimatum reached here yes
terday, and there was an immediate
scramble to get all the initiatory pc
titions circulated within the next
few days, so as to get into Denver
before the first of the month.
AT present there are petitions rep
resenting at least a dozen bills in
the city, and from now on until
July l the persons interested will
make harder campaign than ever
for signatures.
This fact will also be sufficient to
prevent the proposed initiation of the
reclassification bill. Owing to the
limited areas in which signatures can
be secured to such bill it would
take several months to get the nee
essary 1900 names to the petitions
For this reason the bill will not ap-
pear on the ballot at the November
election.

SH0NTS PLEADS FOR
MORE INDIVIDUALISM

Des Moines, Ia, June 13.-Declar-
ing that the spirit of unrest abroad
is world wide and that "the weaken
ing of home ties and the loss of
church influence have been accom-
panied the world over by increasing
discomfort, lessening of individual
effort and a growth of paternalism, :"
Theodore p. Shonts of New York to-
day urged that the people of Ameri-
ca get back to the ''indiyidualism of
our forefathers. Mr.. Shonts deliv-
cred the annual commencement ad-
dress before a class of more than
200 at Drake university this after
noon.
Mr.. Shonts' theme was THE De
yelopment of Individualism the Duty
of Schools Continuing, he said the
American people had become COM
munity of cliff dwellers in large cit
ies-dwellers in cliffs inaccessible to
the neighbor. where the individual is
likely to regulate his conduct from
the standard OF selfish desires and
not from the standard of public opin-
ion.
After discussing the growth of pa
ternalism, DR.. Shonts said:
1--WE must get back, and the
schools must get back to fundamen-
tails: to the old-fashioned notion
that respect for property constituted
authority is the one safe guard for
the individual and state. The schools
must help us arrest further progress
toward form of government which
has benevolence for it's aim. but
which can only result in the perpet-
uation of the weaklings, the depend
ent and the disorderly, at the ex-
pense of the strong, the law abiding
and self reliant.
Our forefathers fought for free
dom from despotic monarchy, and
their descendants must not replace
1t with the tyranny of a meddlesome
state. Development of individual
and initiative and responsibility will
present this"

Tasha Lama of Mongolia Buys an Auto

GAN FRANC1SC0-The Tasha Lama,
- emperor Of Mongolia and next to
the head Of the Buddhist church, has
never taken a bath in his life, but he
rides about the streets of Urga. on the
far side of the Cobb desert, in the an
est limousine that money car buy.
Ethan l. LIE Munyon Of the China
American Trading company at Tient-
sin, who delivered the limousine at
Urga, has arrived here on the Nippon
Mara.
The car was taken by rail to the
edge Of the Cobb desert. It made too
big a package to stow aboard camel
cart, so LIE Munyon filled up the gas
Oline tank and made the limousine do
its own work for the rest of the trip.
This involved journey of $50 miles
across the Cobb desert. AS the con-
tract required the cars delivery in
good condition, and as the roads were
rough, LIE Munyon had to proceed with
caution. He made the journey in ten
days, which was three weeks faster
than the speediest camel train had
ever made it, so the natives say.
Although the lama owns two pal
aces-one for summer and the other
for winter-he lives in a tent in the
yard of his winter palace. From the
cradle to the grave Monaghan Of the
Buddhist faith never takes bath. He
believes that If he did he would be

How Governor fiogg was Once Tricked

AL this time the Republican had

ened regarding them. Thinking this
over, our Republican orator had an in
SEPARATION. He didn't know the names,
but neither did his challenger, and
therefore, bluff might go. The names
of the islands were unquestionably
Spanish. What was to hinder him
from enumerating the names of GER
tain brands Of imported cigars that
came ready to memory,
Thus it was that when his turn
came to speak he met the def of his
foe with absolute serenity. Governor
Hogg was the most astonished man in
the big audience, while he listened to
the othsr man rattle of, not ten, but
twenty, dne-sounding Spanish words
which 'Sere given as names of islands,
hut were in reality only brands of
cigars. Being fair and honest citi-
zen, when the speaker finished, tho

bow, apologized for his mistake. T
