The question of the auto route
through Colorado should cut no ice.
All Coloradoans should be interested
in ie to have the national automobile
association pick some of the many
routes through the state. OF course
any of the proposed routes will pass
through Grand Junction. But if Colo
rado towns get to squabbling over
whether the road should pass through
this or that town or over a certain
pass, then there is danger of the ma
ii nal highway going to the south or
north. United action is the only way
the desired result can be accomplished

FIVE DEAD TWENTY MIS-
SING IN OMAHA HOTEL FIRE

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 28.--Fire this
morning destroyed the Dewey hotel.
Five are known dead and about twen-
" are missing. Twelve are injured,
eight seriously. The property loss is
100000.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but is believed to have resulted from
sparks from the chimney.
The management says about fifty
guests were registered last night.
The guests were awakened about
4:30. The building was then blazing
furiously. There was panic in the
Railways, women screaming and the
guests rushing to the exits. Half an
hour later the structure was in ruins,
and the walls falling. The firemen
were ordered from the building mo-
ment before it collapsed. They de-
clare they saw numerous forms OF
persons rendered unconscious by the
smoke. Those guests who escaped say
it seems impossible that many Of those
in the Railways could have escaped.
At noon the firemen and police are
digging in the ruins for bodies. II
is feared that twenty corpses are GOV,
cred by the debris.
Police assert that the doors of the
hotel were locked and that the fire
escapes were inaccessible.
The known dead:
CHARLES CUMMINGS, leapet
from third floor, instantly killed.

The breaking of the West Virginia
senatorial deadlock clears up one more
state, but it looks as though Illinois
vii. be without representation after
March 4. Seems impossible for the
eoniending factions to get together
The Republicans and Progressive Re-
publicans have a majority on joint
ballot but the Progressives refuse any
sort of compromise. This is poor poll
ties but Roosevelt is evidently in con-
troI of the Illinois Progressives and he
would rather see a Democrat elected
than Republican, and the formation
of RepublicanDemocratic combine
like that which elected Lorimer would
look bad, hence the likelihood of 70
senator's from Illinois this trip.

DOCTOR TAKES RAP AT
AMERICAN EDUCATION

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-"We are ma
ton of educational spoon feeders. Our
students are not matured when they
enter college; consequently college in
structors often are but probation Of
ficers dealing with children"
DIR. Abraham Flexner of New York,
member of the general education board
delivered this message to the ninth
annual conference of the American
Medical association on medical edu-
cation and legislation, which opened in
the Congress hotel today Three hun
dred medical educators attended the
first session.
DIR. Flexner's criticism was con-
tanned in a paper in which he contrast
ed medical education in the United
States and Germany.
'If the German standard was ap-
piled to this country, three-fourths Of
our medical schools would be stamped
out" said he. "Some of your insti-
tutes consume money as the sands Of
the Sahara absorb water-and they
turn loose upon the public flocks of
ill-trained practitioners"
DR.. Flexner's complaint that stu
dents who enter American medical
schools are not fully matured was
echoed by other speakers. DR.. w. B.
Cannon of Boston said it was not un-
common to find medical students
sprawled upon tables reading the
sporting columns of a newspaper when
they were supposed to be perform
ing analysis.
"The trouble with the American
youth is that he goes to college to
learn life, instead of philosophy" said
DR.. George Book of Washington Uni
versity Medical school of st. Louis.
"That method is successful in many
practical lines but it is not the ideal
preparation for medicine"
President Harry Pratt Judson of
Chicago university, would so condense
the elementary and high school train
ing of the American youth that he
would enter college at the age Of 10
and 20. This would permit him to
take more advanced courses before
entering upon the study of medicine,
he said.
