The Fate of One Murphy.
A group of Major moguls
Sat In secret state;
They judged one, G. Webb Murphy.
And told him OF his fate.
They said he was q nuisance,
And gave to him the gate.
And Murphy sat in council. too.
He met with Mister Taft.
And read about his awful fate,
Then laughed and laughed and laughed.
In view of the Murphy stuff we can
just see Generalissimo Bee Bee Johnson

DISPUTES YET TO SETTLE

nr FRANK QuIGLEY.

AS customary, Father Time Is the duoe
who is the extlnguisher of all sports. He
is about to swing his scythe and cut the
leather egg game off the map for ap-
proximately nine months. And with him
he will take some of the local stars.
Every year some of the bright lights
pass out of the arena; sometimes with
regret. sometimes without any sentiment.
Nevertheless. the procession is an endless
chain. Each season sees number of
familiar countenances disappear and
other stars loom up and the old game
trots right along
Disputes to he Settled.
Although Turkey day is the day set
aside for the asbestos to drop. neverthe-
less the independent teams in and around
these jungles are compelled to utilize more
time in order to settle their difficulties.
The class "B" championship Is still I'M
settled and the same is true of the class
"a" contingents. In class "A" circles
all the teams with championship aspira-

Of the assembly and give it to the
governor, and to take from the as
sembly whatever intelligence and
good sense it may happen to have.
Instead Of acting upon its good judg-
ment it must do as the governor di-
rects or as the makers Of the plat
form direct. We had better abolish
the legislature, for we should have
nothing then but an oligarchy.
This whole business Of legislation
"by the people" is an absurdity, and
has already been proved to be 30 in
Colorado. At the last. election we had
80 proposed laws upon the ballot,
which was ridiculous upon it's face.
What does the average person know
Of the contents Of a proposed law
which is submitted to him at the bal
lot box? The theory that the people
thus exercise their verdict and make
their own laws is also unsound and
incorrect. For out Of the 80 laws
which were submitted last year, in on
ly one instance did a majority Of the
electors vote one way or another.
This was the woman's eight hour law.
In each and every other proposed law.
whether it was one Of the eight which
was passed or those which were de-
feated only a minority Of the electors
voted upon it. We have half dozen
laws saddled on the people by mi
nority. In some instances, laws were
enacted by not over rs per cent Of the
total number Of persons voting. Some
persons say this II the Rule Of the
people," but we think 1t 10 much more
Of q travesty upon law-making, and

add to this confusion and irresponsi-
bility.-Colorado Springs Telegraph.

The Rule Of Lindsey

An organization known as the Col
orado Social Service league, consist
ing mainly Of Judge Ben Lindsey, is
now preparing to submit a lot more
bills to the voters at this falls elec-
ton. Not content with having put a
series Of them before the people at
the election of 1912, making the ballot
an absurdity and travesty upon law
making, the same group Of persons
have concocted four at least, and per-
haps more, which they are going to
put upon the ballot.
They want a commission on women
and child welfare 70 compile laws re-
lating to women and children and sub
nit them to the legislature for pass
age. Another wholly unnecessary
commission. Colorado is far ahead
Of other states now in legislation re-
lating to women and children.
They want an adult probation bill.
The courts now have abundant power
to suspend sentence or to give light
sentences if they desire.
They want jury reform bill, pro-
viding a certain percentage of jury
may bring In a verdict instead Of the
whole jury. An innovation Of this
sort might far better come from the
Colorado Bar association, whose MEM
bers are lawyers and are better quail
ified to judge than the Social Ger
vice league.
Then the league wants "a further
extension Of the initiative and refer
endum"just as II this law were not
as wide as a door and a. deep a. q
well as it Is now. But It doesn't sais
the Lindseyites. They want to be
able to hold special elections" to vote
on laws, when everybody knows that
we have an abundance Of elections
now, and there is no crying need to
pass upon other laws excep. as the
need exists in the minds Of these pele
pie. They would compel the lesisla-
ture to carry out platforms aud they
would give the governor power to
compel the passage Of measures.
When this is done we may as we'll
abolish the Legislature. for Lindsey
and his crowd seem to be perfectly
willing to take power out Of the hands

Good Roads Day

Friday, May 9th, is "Good Roads
Day" in Colorado. Already prepara-
tions are being made in many parts
Of the state for the celebration Of the
day, and Governor Ammons by Off
cial proclamation has urged the citi-
zens Of Colorado to devote that day
to work on the roads.
Some Of the suggestions made for
the observance Of the day are that
citizens generally turn out and see
that their roads are put in better
shape by means Of dragging and by
general cleaning up Of rights of
way. For the tourists who will Wis
1t the state it is urged that Colorado
people, especially thase residing In the
mountain districts devote some time
ON Good Roads Day" 20 looking af-
ter camping sites, the marking of
roads and tbs posting Of sigma whsr-
ever necessary.
According to the statutes school
tsachsrs are also required to devote
. certain amount Of time ON this day
to telling their scholars Of the bsne-
fits Of good roads, and they mnst lat
er report to the state highway COM
missioner what has been done In this
regard.
In many Of the counties Of the
state those committees having In
charge the petitions for the initiation
Of the half mill levy for good roads
purposes In the state, plan to make
special efforts on May 8 TO secure
the requisite number Of signature re-
quired in their respective localities.
1t is hoped to secure in each county
in the state the signatures Of at least
ten per cent Of the voters to these Pc
titions. II this is done the petitions
when filed will contain many more
names than the law actually requires.
It il planned to have these petitions
filed with Secretary of State Pearce
not later than May 20. As soon a.
they are filed they must be returned
to the Colorado Good Roads Associa-
tion headquarters in the Chamber Of
Commerce building, Denver.

leans without touching Huerta

leans without touching Huerta it
looks a little as if dur naval officers
can crack a joke in war even If they
are forbidden to do 80 at Carrabao
dinners. Whatever the excuse given
war is now started and it is hoped
that our administration will stiffen
up its backbone andfnot only punish
the monstrous crime which Huerta
committed against Madero to obtain
the presidency, butt will also mete
out justice to that unspeakable de-
generate, Villa, for his still more
monstrous crimes against American
citizens. With all our squeamish-
ness about starting war we have
started it on the smallest excuse we
had and it should not be stopped un-
til full justice il meted out for the
abuses sustained by American citi-
zens.
There was no opposition in congress
to a resolution declaring war but
there was strong. and justly so, op-
position to using . minor incident as
our justification to the world when q
recital Of the monstrous wrongs we
had endured would have justified us
fully in the eyes Of the world through
out all history. There is little rea-
son to believe that even the next
generation will justify our killing
600 Mexicans over the refusal of
Huerta to salute opr flag, but 4 full
presentation Of our case would have
hushed the tongue Of criticism for all
ages to come.
The war will be Of little interest
in reality and all the fighting will
be done in the ofhcss Of the big daily
newspapers where armies will be
marshalled, soldiers killed, and papers
sold on the strength of it without
any excuse except the desire to rake
in the nickels Of the deluded public.
There are many horrors to war but
by far the greatest is the American
daily press. People who have men,
bers Of their family at the front
will be kept in . constant frenzy,
while in reality Whenft q Ill summed
up in the end It will be like the
Spanish-American war the death rate
among the soldiers will be about
one-fourth that in the average Amer
ican city Of the same ixe.
