Denver, Jan. There was to
have been a meeting in the shape of
. conference Tuesday last between
United States Senators John +. Shat
roth and Charles S. Thomas and Con-
gressmen Edward T. Taylor, George
kindel, Harry Seldomridge and Ed
ward Keating to discuss and line up
a division OF the federal patronage
that is to come to democrats in the
state of Colorado; but action was de-
ferred on account of the Illness of
Senator Thomas, who was unable to
attend These senators and con-
gressmen were scheduled to meet in
the room of Congressman Taylor at
the Shirley hotel.
Because of the failure to hold the
conference, nothing was done, and
it was agreed that no action would
be taken until the Colorado members
assembled in Washington in March.
The conference there probably will
be held on the 5th of that month.
The senators, according to an un-
derstanding, will have the DISPOSE
tion of such offices as United States
marshal, registrars and receivers of
Tour land offices, surveyor of Gus
tens, collector of internal revenue,
etc, while the congressman will have
the distribution of the postoffices
within their respective districts.

past been bestowed ON Coloradoans,

Forthcoming. Under the percentage
of population of the state, a total of
365 appointments belong to Colorado.
but in the past, under republican
domination, only 1875 persons in this
state have been given federal posi-
tions.
There are total of $4,000 service
positions at the disposal of the feder-
al government. These places do not
include the postoffices and positions
in congress. Colorado has l per cent
of the total population of the United
States, which would entitle the state
to the 365 places in the federal SER

GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY
Cities There Have Demonstrated That
Commerce ls Ruled by Conven-
ience and Cheapnses-

Thought in America is obsessed
with the idea that the laws Of com
merce are like the laws OF nature
We assume that they cannot be con-
trolled or aided by man. Transporta-
ticn must be left TO private control.
There is no such assumption in Ger
many. The reverse Is true. Germany
takes it as a matter of course th2t
many things must be done by the
state in order to protect it's life ana
develop Industry. The highways or
commerce, both by rail and By water
are the best assets Of the nation.
Through their Intelligent administra'
ton trade and commerce have been
stimulated. The cities, too, have DEM
onstrated that commerce is ruled by
convenience and cheapness. Berlin
is intersected by canals, in the face
OF the fact that the nation owns the
railways and makes them as service
able as possible for industry. Ham
burg and Bremen are free ports OF en-
try into which the merchandise OF the
world is shipped in bulks Here It IS
permitted to lie without tax or DUTY
awaiting export or entry into the
country.

Shade trees suitable for street plant

The columnar, such as the Lombardy

the cone-shaped, such as the sugar
maple, sweet gum, white pine; the
vasefcrmed, or spreading head, as the
American elm and silver maple; the
round-headed form, such as the Caro-
lima popular and horse chestnut.
The redbud or Judas tree, the mag

account Of their small size and habit
