woke next morning dead drunk from
absorption
Time was when getting drunk was
considered a virtue, the strife for
honors between the three-bottle and
five-bottle men altogether open and
above board. It Is related OF a cele-
brated popular orator that he affected
intoxication. People would say, "If he
speaks so gloriously drunk, how might
he not speak SOBER" the actor all the
while doing carefully prepared
stunt and strangely exulting in the
reputation of being drunkard. The

CHICAGO, June Il. -Reports OF
rains along the Canadian line gave
the wheat market a bearish tone at
the start today and prices were down
sc at the start. Later news was that
the rains had not been SO general as
first reported and when it became
apparent that threatened crop damage
from dry weather was not greatly
checked, prices firmed a trifle.
Corn stocks were limited and prices
rose sc today after starting easier
with wheat. New prices for the year
reached yesterday were topped by the
same margin.
Oats had a firm undertone. Shorts

ANOTHER PETITION"
AT OSKALOOSA.

Oskaloosa, Iowa.-Another petition
OF consent is being circulated in this
city As is usual, at the beginning,
both sides are confident that they will
win out, the vets that they will Sc
cure sufiicient names and the drys
that the required number will not be
found on the petition.
II took ovor = year to decide wheth-
er or not the last petition Of consent
was sufficient, and from the threats
made by both sides II will probably
be that length Of time before the one
now In circulation is decided. The
fight Is already growing strenuous,
and the bitter feeling that usually
follows in the wake Of such petitions
Is becoming evident. These petitions
of consent are keeping Oskaloosa in
continual state Of turmoil.
Des Moines, Iowa--The people who

Toned. It seems that someone has
dug up an old alleged law which re.
quires every person who has liquor in
his possession TO have certificate
showing that he holds It for his own
use only. Several applications have
been filed with the state auditor ask
ing for snch a certificate. If the sup
posed law proves to be effective il
will make It very disagreeable, to say
the least, for q man to secure case

State Finances.

Some of the democratic members OF
he legislature have been talking the
advisability Of Colorado issuing 81, 000.-
400 in bonds to tide the state over the
present financial shortage for state ad-
ministration purposes. 1t would be
simply a waste Of time and money to
submit such proposition of bonding
the state as that to the voters OF the
state. They would turn it down by AN
overwhelming majority. Four years a.
20 when the republicans turned the
state administration over to the demo-
rats the finances of the state were in
rood condition and there was surplus
Of half a million dollars in the state
treasury. Tho present trouble with the
state finances was brought about by
wild extravaganza and bad management
of the Shafroth state administration
and the voters will not be in any humor
TO vote 1900, 900 In bonds to correct
tho mistakes Of Shafroth.
Governor Ammons is a business man
and seems to be taking hold OF this
problem In business manner and, II
the Legislature comes to his aid and gives
him power to act, he will be able 10
very much reduce the amount paid out
for salaries and office expenses as they
were under the Shafroth administration
and may be able to avoid bond issue.

sonsr instead Of three as provided by
the oldlsw. The commissioner receives
. salary of 5000 and his secretary,
who must be civil engineer, salary
Of e2l00.
The law also creates an advisory
board Of five members who meet quar-
tsrly and audit and approve the acts of
the, commissioner and all apportionment
of state monies for road building must
be approved by this board The mem.
bers OF this board serve without pay
except for their expenses.
Under this law the counties desiring
state aid for road building must put up
an amount equal to that furnished by
the state but where the work is expen-
sive the state may bear larger pro-
portion of the cost of the road work.

A Happy Family.

The democratic lenders In and out Of
tho Colorado legislature are having a
decidedly warm fight over the public u
tilltics bill now before the legislature.
T. NJ. Patterson, who holds monopoly
on heavy ed,oriol work Tor the demo-
cratic party of the state, has taken n
stand, and correctly too. against certain
sections Of the bill us Il passed the SEN
ate.
Senator c. y. Thomas. ever watchful
for chance to get into the limelight,
takes issue with Patterson and writes n
letter to the speaker OF the Colorado
The state herald., 1913-03-21

house and this calls forth from Patter
son hot reply and sarcastic cartoon
OF the tall senator from Denver.
Justice Scott of the supreme court,
recently elected, seems to forget that
his work is in the judicial department
and jumps into the fight to use his in
iiuence on the legislature. He too takes
issue with Patterson by whom he is
handled without gloves for his indiscre-
tion in stepping over the boundary line
between the judicial and the legislative
department of the state.
In the legislature it has required the
peace officer and his assis, .ants to pre-
vent hstic encounters be tween mem
bers in their fight over this bill.
1t is very foolish for the democratic
boys to stir up 30 much bad blood over
this measure. The people have passed
upon it and turned 1t down cold and
that relieves the members nj the legis.
lature from all obligation to carry out
the platform declarations, ut least so
far as this particular bill is concerned.
he majority of the people pro badly fa.
'or public utilities law but they have
shown by their vote that they do not
favor such law as the measure now
before the legislature and It Is about
time for the legislators. who sc en- AK
ous to appear ready to fight. bleed and
die for this particular bill, to discover
that fact, They should stop their fight
ing, take guess at what the voters do
favor as legislation on this question,
pass bill and let the voters Of the
state pass upon 1t at the next general
election.
We now have the initiative and ref
erendum and every reform measure
passed by the legislature should be left
open for reference to the people and
especially Is this true Of all measures
on which the legislature is us near even
y divided as II is on this bill. There is
no call for rcformers getting In too big
a hurry to have Legislation 20 into cfr
feet All reform legislation is at best
considerable OF an experiment and such
reform movements should make haste
slowly. II the people had expressed
themselves clearly on their choice Of
provisions for public utilities law,
then Il would be the duty OF the legis-
lature to enact such law and see that

ment possible. But the people have
