When a man has been divorced and
ordered by the court to pay his wife
alimony. the law does not require that
he kiss her every time he makes his
payments, according to a ruling made
by Magistrate Morris of Denver. Mrs.
Emathia Vincent. who recently got q
divorce in the county court from Bean
Vincent. a motorman. told Magistrate
Morris that when she called on her
former husband to collect her $40
alimony he rendered her the money
but refused to kiss her, and she re-
fused the money.

Negro Killed by Explosion Of Throttle
Valve on Irrigation Engine.

Following close on the heels Of the
death of Mr.. Henry Davis, as result of
the blowing out of the cylinder head of
an engine Of the Houssier plants north
of town last week, the bursting of
throttle valve of one Of MIR. Geo. w.
Cosner's engines three miles north of
town probably instantly killed the
negro engineer, who was running the
night shift on the plant. The accident
is believed to been caused by the neghb,
who had shut down the plant sometime
during the night, and restartedabout
three o'clock In the morning, throwing
the throttle wide open without having
drained the water from the cylinder.
In any event the throttle valve was
bursted, about half of 1t being thrown
off striking the engineer in the neck
and half way severing his head from
his body.

Welsh Planters Putting in Cement
Cuiyert Instead of Board Ones.

Two of the well known planters of
this section Of the country are showing
commendable spirit of progress this
season, when instead of putting in the
old fashioned board boxes to convey
water from fields on one side Of the
road to the other, they, are putting in
substantial arched brick and cement
eulverts. Mr. j. w. DeVilbiss has put
in two of these permanent culverts on
the south side Of his home place, and
Mr., Thos. Stegall has put in' one, in
order to convey the flooding water
across the road. These culverts are
the same as are being put down on the
Welsh streets, being put in by Mr..
Chas. Lantz. and guaranteed to last.
If all the culverts and small bridges
that obstruct the public roads were re-
placed with these cement culverts, a
long step would be taken toward secur.
ing better road system than we now
enjoy.

Whittier Are We Drifting?

One of the fundamental principals
upon which this government was
founded, is the complete separation of
of the three great branches of govern
ment, the executive, legislative and
judicial, and yet in spite of this act of
wisdom on the part of the founders OF
the government we find decided
tendency in these times to believe the
Presidents dictum should be absolute
in the making of certain classes of
laws, especially the tariff. In this con-
nection the assertion is being frequent.

can be reelected VINO votes against
the pending tariff bill, or who votes to
amend it with Republican aid SO as to
be obiectiondl to President Wilson
This assertion is then followed by the
more open threat that "He seals his
doom when he opposes Wilson, By
what authority President Wilson, his
friends or supporters claim the right
for the President to dictate tariff legls.

members OF the party to discover,
Nor do we believe that the Senator

tariff measure that will destroy lie.

An epoch making movement Is now
an foot in Welsh that should have the
enthusiastic and unqualified support of
every progressive and enterprislng
citizen of the town. This is the move
ment looking toward the establishment
of system OF water works and
electric lights. These are two OF the
essentials of every good town, and the
town that persistently refuses to equip
itself with an efficient water and light
ing system is as sure to be left behind
in this day OF progress as the sun is to
shine. The estimated expense OF the
proposed system, which is deemed
adequate to supply Welsh with excel
lent lighting, and water for domestic
use as well as fire protection, is s25,OO0,
which will be spread out over period
of fifteen years, amounting to only
about $1.00 per capita OF our population
per year. This amount, trivial as 1t
is, will be largely Offset by the reduc'
ton that will be made in the cost OF
Insurance if Welsh is so equipped as to
be rated as a third class town rather
than as fourth class, by the insurance
companies. Again Judging the future
by the past there is no possible grounds
to hope that Welsh will be able to pass
through the next fifteen years without
water for fire protection, without los.
ing far more than $4,000 90 as result
of fires that could have been prevented
by an efficient water system. The last
fifteen years has seen the destruction
OF property to the value of many times
the amount required to install an
efficient water system, which loss we
have had to bear, and have nothing to
show for it. Be a Booster. Put your
shoulder to the wheel and help to make
Welsh the BEST Town on the Map" in
fact as well as in name.
