WHEELER AND CO.'S
STORE ROBBED

This morning sometime between
1890 and 4 o'clock the Wheeler Co.'S
Pool room was entered and robbed
Of some articles in value about
$50. The thief entered through a
window in the back of the hall and
pushing aside a screen crept 10
the front of the building.
That the job was the work of one
thoroughly familiar with the store
and its stock is apparent. He knew
where the money left in the store
over night was hidden. At. once
he found $40. Crossing to a small
show case he p-ied 1t OPEN and took
a diamond ring worth S25. Being
fond of jewelry he also helped him.

THE BASE BALL FAN

To find the baseball fan III his
glory, you louk in the Major league
cities or college towns. But often
the corner grocery clerk. who has
to wait all daV for the daily NJ vs.
paper follows the records of play
ers abor. as closely as the sharp
OF the bieachers
Who can tell how many anarch-
lists and criminals nave been saved
by the wholesale outlets for emo
ton furnished by the enthusiastic
ball field?
The passionate absorption of the
fan in his favurite team NAV dull
his ambition for success in life.
Still why worry about making your
thousands when you can get all the
fun you want for 25 or so cents?
The ten dollars a week clerk whose
favorite team is high in the per-
centaGe column may attain content
ment which neither millions nor
philosophy n impart.
The hlracher crowd of each indi-
vidual town has its own tempera-
ment. Some snap with caustic wit
ticisms al the expense of the de-
feated. Others root cheerfully and
steadily for the home team winning
or losing. A player that stands for
that kind of a public does not quit
running to first merely because he
has hit an easy ball.
In some towns the prevalence Of
betting leads To an ugly undertone.
It's a poor kind of backing. Money
in the stands is apt TO mean money
on the field.
Some people would be surprised
did they know how many there are
who give enthusiastic time and
study baseball arithmetic. The
records of players are entered at
home indexed and cross indexcd.
They OF course could not wait for
this vital data until the seasonal
averages are made up. II may not
seem very profitable use for time.
But though the fellows who are
thus amused may not read very
deeply in politics or sociology they
don't loaf much in the saloons nor
break many windows in strikes.

A DANIEL GONE
TO JUDGMENT
Senator SmOot Of Utah Plans to
"ROb Garbage Can" of Millions
Every Year

Senator Smoot has a new plan to
reduce the cost Of living, which he
disclosed this week at Washington.
This most unique, practical plan
ne hopes to have Congress adopt
contending that it would cost the
United States about $500, 600 an
nually. The saving to the house
wives would be millions.
The Senator intends TO re-intro-
duce his bill, and have $lO,U 900 ap-
proprlated annually to each state
and territory. This none will be
used through agriculture expert
ment stations in experiments and
research in home economies. The
results of these experiments are to
be printed, and distributed in each
state and territory.
In The words Of the Senator
Such Legislation would rob the
American garbage can of millions
of dollars annually by teaching
young girls how to purchase, prop
erIy prepare, and cook food, and
how to utilize the food that is left
over.
III had dozen daughters" he
said, "and was able to give each of
them a million dollars the day of
her marriage, | would still want
each one to know how to cook,
make her own clothes, and in fact,
be a superior houskeeper."
The Independent sincerely hopes
that Senator Shoots bill passes.
The problem of the high cost of
living, is often the problem of liv-
ing high, due sometimes to a lack
Of economy in the home and on
the part of some housewives who
are not superior housrkeepers."

"A LEARNED JuDGE'.
He Compares the Modern Woman
With the Old Fashioned One

Yesterday Judge John A Perry
of the Denver district court heard
an Insurance suit growing out OF
the death of Miss Wheeler, daugh-
ter of a New York man, who was
drowned inBowle's lake. neal Dem
yer last June. Denver women are
shuddering over some of his foolish
sensational remarks. For this court
intimated that smoking by women
is not degrading, and that even a
swig of the bottle is not a token of
~depravity."
Other remarks made by Judge
Perry during this same insurance
case might be studied. He says
Woman is better off today than
she ever was just as society is bet
ter. | am not one of those who re-
greet woman's advancement, crying
out that it has robbed her of her
womanliness. 1t has robbed her of
nothing and has given her a great
deal. When you ask my opiniun of
the modern woman compared with
the old fashioned woman, | must
confess ! admire the woman of to-
day more
THE idle waster of life, the sell
fish woman soothing at enthusiasts,
does more harm TO society than
those who make mistakes in their
zeal to be independent. Those
parasitical women are not of yes
terday. They exist today and are
the ones who do the real harm in
