Betsy Barbara stared and flushed.

THUM NEW EDITOR OF
DENVER'S CITY PAPER

DENVER, May 29.-By natural ten
dency, the publication of the "City of
Denver" the city's semi-monthly pa
per, falls to the lot of Otto Thum,
commissioner of property-elect.
So say his friends as well as his
fellow commissioners-elect.
Thum as printer and publisher has
been in the newspaper work for forty
two years-and he's proud of it.
"The duties Of my office will be
manifold after June L." said Thum,
"but 1 will give the issuance of the
municipal paper my personal atten-
tion should it fall to my lot"
1t isn't often that mans life be-
comes his hobby. But that's Thum's
case. He wants to make it the livest
municipal paper in the country-and
self sustaining at that.
Here's the way he hopes to do it:
By publishing the proposed ordi-
nances and other legal notices of i'm
provements, ETC., in the "City of Den
ver," instead of in the newspapers.
By small subscription charge to
out of town patrons of the sheet.
By leaving out all personal inter
ests and boosting the works of nature
and the artificial complexion given the
city by progressive westerners.

Barely fifteen years old, the mo-
tion picture business today may well
be classed among the worlds great
est industries. Millions of dollars are
spent annually in the production of
photoplays and thousands of people
are given employment by the manu-
facturers. The time book of mo-
ton picture manufacturer reads like
roll of the trades and professions.
Actors and artists, carpenters and cow
boys, electricians and engineers, ma
chinists and mechanics, photographers
and playwrights, and others too nu-
merous to mention, all find lucrative
work in this new field of endeavor.
From mere STRIPPING, hardly able to
hold its head above the surface, and
laughed at by the "wiseacres" from
one end Of the country to the other,
the photoplay has now developed into
a giant that has come to stay, and
one that is bound to play big part
in the worlds progress.

AMERICAN LINER HITS
ROCK IN DENSE FOG

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, May 20
The American liner Haverford with
900 passengers and crew aboard, this
morning was stranded during a dense
fog on Cork head while entering the
harbor to take passengers.
Admiral Coke, commanding the
British squadron here, ordered war;
ships to the Haverford's assistance.
These are now standing by and the
passengers will be taken off this aft
ernoon.
1t is believed that the Havorford
is doomed, because of the deep wa
ter about the rock.
Tonight all passengers were re-
moved and taken to Liverpool where
they boarded another American liner
for Philadelphia.

EVENTUALLY. WHY NOT MOVIE

Among the various positions taken
by congressional leaders on the tar
iff, rome is more consistent than that
of the Progressives and progressive
Republicans. In this tariff fight they
are taking the same position they
defended in the debate over the Payne
Aldrich measure and the events of the
past four years have shown that their
position was one that required no
revision because Of its absolute fair
ness to everyone and because of the
soundness of the principle on which it
was based.
They stand for protection but for
the sort of protection that helps Amer
lean labor and gives American capital
a fair show and no undue privileges in
competition for foreign manufactur-
ers. The principle of protection can
be put on a scientific basis, making the
tariff duty represent the difference
in cost of production at home and
abroad and the progressives stand for
such tariff. More than that they
hold that the making of the tariff
should be made by non-partisan tar
if board, composed of men who are
able to arrive at the real difference in
the cost of production in the United
States and foreign countries.
This principle was enunciated in the
platform adopted at Chicago in 1908
hut the Payne-Aldrich measure failed
to recognize it. Swinging to the
other extreme in tariff making the
Underwood bill gives it even less rec
ognition. Yet the principle is right
and there strong reason to believe
that eventually it will be adopted as
the basis for tariff making.

An income tax is all right and con-
gress should have passed one long
ago. Had the Republicans reduced the
tariff downward as promised in the
1908 platform-instead of upward
along with reasonable income tax
law, the party would be in charge of
national affairs notwithstanding the
split last fall The Democrats are
making worse mistake at the pres
ent time than the Republicans made
after Taft was elected. They prom
ised a revision downward without
running any industry. Instead of re-
vision downward it's free trade in
many of the most important indus
tries.

Lawrence (Kas.) Journal-World:
Senator Bistow has attacked the Un-
derwod bill in language so vigorous
and intelligent that there is no doubt
but that he has gone to the bottom
of the tariff question. Senator Bris-
tow is protectionist, not high one
but still for protection. He stands
with the large majority in this coun-
try. The present bill is pledge re-
deemer but it is along free trade lines
whereas the country wants the tariff
reduced along protective lines.

HALF MILLION MUST
BE CUT FROM STATE

Even though Governor Ammons has
trimmed appropriations made by the
Nineteenth General assembly more
than 100000, another half million
must be taken off before the state
will be living within it's income, ac-
cording to statement yesterday by
Roady Kenehan, state auditor, says
the Denver News. The appropriations
total $3,15S,2S2.92, while the revenue
for the biennial period will not ex-
coed, Kenehan says, $2,615,OO0.
This will mean unless relief is OBJ
tanned from an unexpected quarter
that a greater part of the third class
appropriations, which are for the edu-
cational institutions, will not be paid
and possibly, some of the second
class, which are for penal institutions.
The appropriations are: First-class,
S1,774,133.12; second-class, s977,5OO;
third-class, $4O6, $40 .SO-a total of $3,-
15s,2S2.92, as against $3,955, ,345.55
two years ago.
The items two years ago were:
First-class, Sl,s19, ,512.2S; second-class,
$975,2O0; third-class, $797 400; fourth
class, Sl75, ,250; fifth-class, $1SS,1S2.77.
The first and second-class obligations
were met in full, but only so per cent
of the third-class were paid, and not
dollar was paid on the fourth and
fifth classes.

riod for upkeep of the capitol building

HOW ICEBERGS RAISE
TEMPERATURE OF SEA

H. 7. Brnes, F. S. R., professor of
physics at McGill university, Mon
treal, recently discovered that icebergs
cause the temperature of the sea to
rise. With the aid of micro her
mometer he studied the question ir the
Gulf of st. Lawrence, off the coast
of Labrador and across the Atlantic.
The Canadian government has printed
his report, which upsets popular De-
lief, and some of the foreign pub
lications-particularly the Illustrated
London News-gives much space to
the subject.
"The explanation of the warming
influence of an iceberg" writes Mr.
Barnes" can be understood from the
following: Consider an iceberg, which
is always composed of fresh water
ice, floating in the salt water of the
sea. 1t produces, by its melting, fresh
water, which is carried downward by
the connective action of the inflow
ing salt water. The surface water,
however, has no tendency to sink on
account of its horizontal motion. In
consequence of this, all the heat radi-
ated from the sun and sky, which els
absorbed in this water, accumulates,
and is not dispersed by the sea water
movements. The wind stirs up the
waves, but this action does not ex-
tend very deep. 1t is only by the con-
vective circulation that the SUMS heat
is distributed to greater depth. In
this way the water around the berg
becomes warmer than the surround
ing sea temperature, and produces the
rise of temperature always observed
first on approaching an iceberg.
THE popular belief is that ice cools
the water, but the cooling action of an
iceberg is enormously less than the
accumulative heating action of radi-
alton on the surface of the sea. 1t
is true that the presence of colder
currents are told by the fall of tenn
perature, but this does not mean that
an iceberg is in the immediate neigh
borhood. 1t merely means that ice
may be expected. The actual effect
of an iceberg is to produce rising
in its Immediately vi
cinity.
"Icebergs may be approached with
out showing any cooling effect at all,
but only rise; on the other hand,
a cooling effect may be observed after
the rise, but this is not due to tue
direct action of the ice, but to The
fact that the iceberg is being carried
along by more rapid current and
therefore cooler current"

at the old stand there was both an

But let us not despise the snake.
He was ambitious and did his best,
and the farmer helped the rabbit, says
the Record-Herald. Perhaps if huge
black snake should swallow cast
iron cub painted in natural colors and
everybody would only leave him alone
it might be good omen. There is
certainly powerful need of something
