order watch cases has shown that Of
ten they contain no gold at all, and
at the most have only thin wash of
gold over the brass.
But these are palpable frauds. A
much more insidious sort is the spuri-
Gus gold watch sold by unscrupul-
Gus retail jewelers., or by jewelry
auctioneers. For these watches when
new have the appearance of gold, and
they are accompanied by strong guar
antecs of their wearing qualities.
The hoodwinked purchaser, when the
gold begins to wear off and expose
the brass, usually finds that the

does not exist nor never did exist.

JeWelry Frauds
Next for Probe
BY Congressman c. II Tavenner

BY Congressman c. II Tavenner
Washington, Oct. 3-Probably the
next great fraud that Congress will
attack is the jewelry fraud. Fer
years the country has been floodet'
with spurious jewelry, especially
watches, and through the sale of these
articles the credulous public has been
swindled cut of millions %. dollars.
Some months ago Representative J.
Henry Cooke, of Ohio, introduced ~
pure watch case" bill prohibiting the
shipment Of watch cases when fraul-
ulently stamped as to their gold con-
tent, and providing for watch label
ing law. Mr.. Cooke has assurance
that the Committee on Interstate
Commerce will give hearing on the
bill in December. In all probability
the measure will become law during
the next session of Congress.

ist in the patent medicine trade and
flourish in the manufacture Of cloth
ing and shoes, are also doing much
business in the jewelry lines. Almost
everyone is familiar with the mail or
der advertisement which reads in
smudgy type: "Solid Gold Finished
Watch, Guaranteed 25 years, $3.65."
If anyone has been foolish enough to
waste money on such an advertise
ment, he has found to his sorrow that
even at 1855 the dealer has made
big profit on the watch. An official
analysis of many of these cheap mail

phia mint, with the following results:

was found on analysis to contain just
four and seven-tenths cents worth of
gold. Another case was stamped,
New York, Warranted 20 years."
and it contained 1872 cents worth of
gold by analysis. On the six watches
analyzed, the best one contained but
266 cents worth of gold. All were
thinly washed with gold over brass or
some other inferior metal. These were
all watches which sold for good pric-
es in retail stores. There are also eX-
tensive frauds practiced in the mark
ing of the number of jewels in watch
movements.
While most jewelry is a luxury, the
use Of watches is so widespread as to
take them out of that class, and in u
number of trades the workingmen are
compelled. by their work to own watch

FOUNDATION Of EASTERN
COLORADO.

The newcomer in eastern
Colorado asking for credit who
says it is too much trouble to fool
with dairy cows on dry land
farm does not get very far ahead
in the world as a usual thing un-
| IS he has independent means.
This is putting dairying as ap-
piled to dry land farming on a
business basis. The statement
quoted was made by a merchant
who has been in eastern Colora-
do a quarter of a century. He
has been through every possible
climatic condition in this period
and today attributes his prosper
ity, as we'll as that Of the farm
ers in his district. to the dairy
COW. Il can talk about dairying
from the standpoint of the man
who has handled book accounts
in a general merchandise estab-
lishment for many years." My
experience shows that the farm
er who sticks to dairy cows is
the ore who has money to pay
his accounts for merchandise
in the fall. And l have found
too, that he has the money drouth
or no drouth. When the moist
ure is normal this man, in addi-
ton to the milk money, has a
good surplus from his other crops
which he invests in more land or
machinery or for bettering his
home. Whenever a new man
comes in and asks US to extend
him credit we find out whether
he intends to keep dairy herd.
If he says he is not then he's g t
to show US the cash. We will
trust him. if he trusts to the COW.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Keating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

Congress will convene next Mon
day and no one anticipates an
adjournment before August 1st
1914.
In those eight months of law
making the majority in both
Houses will either make or break
the Democratic Party.
We have been in control of the
Government since March 4th In
that time Woodrow Wilson has
succeeded in making good' with
the American people. But the
Democratic Congress is still on
trial. We have passed a real
tariff bill, a splendid redemption
of platform pledges. We have
pushed a real banking and cur
rency bill through the House but
it has been blocked in the Senate
and blocked by Democratic votes.
OF course, the Republicans assis-
ted in the blocking to the limit
of their ability, but the fact re-
mains that they could have been
swept aside had it not been for
, the wobbling of a minority of
the majority. "Wobbling"
seems too mild a term and Urea
son" must and will substitute if
the wobblers don't wobble into
line in the very near future.
Every genuine Democrat feels
the keenest chagrine over the
Senate's failure to enact the cur
rency bill during the extra ses-
sion. With the tariff and cur
rency question out of the way the
decks would have been cleared
for the consideration Of stupei
dous legislative program. AS it
is, only the House is prepared to
take up the new work, while the
Senate will probably drool ov. r
the currency for the next two
months.
At the end of that time, the
Wilson-Bryan bill will go through
There is no doubt about that in
the mind of any we'll informe d
observer. "The Interests" can
annoy the President, they can
subject his plans to vexatious
delays but when the test comes
they haven't the votes to control
either House. If they were deal
ing with a weaker leader their
Fabian tactics might secure im-
portant cont essiors, but VIII: on
is cold grey granite when a
principle is at stake.
MANY BIG QUESTIONS.
The following are some of the
great problems aside from the
currency, which Congress will
be called upon to consider during
the regular session:
Regulations of Trusts.
Good Roads.
Rural Credits.
Naval and Military Program.
The unlocking of the natural
resources of Alaska. and possibly
the construction of our first gov
ernment-owned railroad.
Legislation affecting the rela-
tions of employer and employee.
Of course, there will be many
others. Mexico promises to
trouble our statesmen for some
time and at any moment may be-
come preplexing and time con-
suming problem. Then every
appropriation bill carries in ad-
dition to huge sums Of money
legislation Of the most important
character.

looks to the President for guild
ance. He will probably present
his views in his first message,
and then assist the Judiciary
Committee in drafting the re-
sultant bill. This will be made
a party measure and after it has
been perfected in caucus. will be
pushed through the House. The
Progressives have prepared some
interesting bills touching this
question and in a subsequent let
ter l will endeavor to compare
the Bull Moose and the Demo-
cratic remedies for an admitted
evil. Of course, the Republican
will present no remedy. States
men of the Penrose-Lodge-Gal-
langer stripe realize that effect
i've trust regulation would pro-
badly mean their permanent re-
tirement from political life.
GOOD ROADS BILL.
The roads bill which will re-
ceive most serious consideration
was presented in the House the
other day by Congressman Dor
sey Shackleford. 1t will lie
fathered in the Senate by Sci a.
tor Hoke Smith of Georgia. 1t
provides for the expenditure OF
twenty-five millions a year by
the federal government. Of tbs
amount five millions is to be
spent by the Secretary of Agri-
culture in conjunction with tie
State Highway Commissions, the
States contributing two dollars
for every dollar advanced by
Uncle Sam. The remaining
twenty-mil!ion is to be paid to
the States in the form of COM
pensation for the use by the M
tional government of the State
roads for tae transportation of
the mail.
For the two-fold purpose of en-
couraging the construction of the
very best type of roads and de-
termining each States just pro-
portion of this fund. the bill pro-
vides- that the roads of the
c ,untry used for star routes or
rural free delivery, shall be d.
vided into three classes and that
the annual compensation per
mile shall be as follows:
Class A. A.-Macadam or other
material of equal utility and cost
$50 per mile.
Glass B.-Gravel or other ma
terial of equal utility and cost.
but c! eaper than Macadam $50
per mile.
Glass C.-Dirt roads, we'll con-
structed and properly maintained
SIS per mile.
On November 1. 1918, there
were 261 star routes in Colorado
aggregating a, $50 miles in length
and It's rural routes with total
of a, SGT miles. How these roads
would be classified under this
bill, no one is in a position to
state, but l believe it is safe to
estimate that -Colorado's share of
the twenty million dollar fund
would be about $3.50, 600. In ad-
dition the State would secure
about $40. 900 from the five mill
lion dollar fund, making q total
of 1920, 900 per annum.
Congressman Shackleford does
not accept my estimates and in
sists that Colorado will receive
nearer $5OO,OO0 than $500, 900,
but think he is mistaken. am
