COLoRADo's DECLINE
Where Is the Progress of Which Suffrage Orators
 Boast?

:! Rarely have I sat through a suffrage meeting at which a great deal about Colorado was not said have again and again heard suffrage. orators speak of it as model state, in which po- litical and social conditions are vastly superior to those of other states. I have listened while a speaker enunn- erated g. long list of laws, all alleged to be on the statute books of Colorado most of which I should pronounce good provided they were wisely drawn and inte4ligently enforced. And al- ways has the speaker. by the p1ainest inference, amounting in many cases to direct assertion claimed all the credit for whatever is good in present-day iegislation in Colorado for her women, who, 1t is alleged, far from being mere passive addition to the electorate. are the most active element among the voters I have heard one suffragist of national reputation assert that the women of Colorado have taken her government firmly in hand, and may be said to run that great state.''
 But suddenly, in a most dreadful and dramatic manner, Colorado stands revealed as a state in which govern ment has completely broken down. So tnept and inefficient has she shown herself that she has been compelled to admit that she cannot enforce her own laws ana to go to the hun11Hating g length of begging for Federal aid. Now either the information dissem- mated bys the suffragists in regard to this state is erroneous, or the women voters are Iarg1y resp onsib1e for this sad condition of affairs.
 Those of us who have turned our at tention to Colorado lately having been impelled to do so by the insist ence of the suffragists. have some time been aware that something is wrong '''something'' is woman suffrage; but T repay little study on the part of the .suffragSsts. Since the days when Edward O.. Wo1cott and Henry M Teller gave Colorado a, standing in the United States senate out of all propor- tion to her general importance, there has been a steady and marked deter ioration in the calfbre of her public servants. Other states have purified their elections, but Colorado's remain corrupt The movement that has re- suited in the reforming and transform ing of government throughout the country, though it had it's inception in the west, seems not yet to have reach ed Colorado. She elected Guggen- helm to the Senate in the same year that New Jersey dropped Dryden. The great leaders of whom she now boasts are men like Judge Lindsey who, undou btedly sincere and well meaning, are so lacking in balance and Judgment that they frequently i'm jure the excellent causes they es- pouse.

stores Tone to the. Nerves.
 The refreshing influence of the week ly day of rest on a, person subjected to the strenuous routine of busy life is feature which he himself can duly appreciate in the effects on his feel ings'' and spirits. The efficiency of the working man, the length of the working day, the interjection of pauses for rest in the schedule of labor for persons of different ages and stations in life-questions of this sort are constantly arising for solution on a scientific basis. Not only in the field of manual labor. but also in the case of the school child, the office boy, the factory girl, the ibankSr, and the merchant, efficiency is the keynote of the times. Fatigue is the enemy of efficiency. and to detect and compen- sate for or overcome 1t is the duty of those concerned with the promotion of human swelfare.
 sf'In view of this,'' says The Journal of the American Medical Association, fit is of more than passing interest to know that pr. Martin and some of his associates in the Laboratory of Physiology at the Harvard Medical School, have been making a careful and efficiency from a physiological standpoint.

strOight out to sea, at first in the di-
/ rection of the enemy. The search
light wavered here and there on the
| shore line and over the surface of
| the water, and finally fell on the
| Dauntless.
There was a painful moment for
! those of us watching, and then came
| the distant booming of the guns; but
| finally these sounds died away and
both pursuer and pursued faded from
sight.
The hours dragged along, but final
| ly morning came and ushered in a
windy and sodden day. On the sup
! position that the gunboat would
! honor US with a visit during the day,
! search was made as soon as it was
! light for a suitable position for the
gun, with the intention OF doing our
! best to beat her off. An almost ideal
i natural gunpit was found near the
! beach. Ii some violent storm a large
! lok had been hurled beyond the, ordi-
nary high tide mark, and had fallen
across the mouth of a little gully,
where sand to the thickness of sew
eral feet had been blown up against
it. The gun was set up in the gully,
! it's muZzle pointing over the log
which served as a revetment for the
sand.
From fearing that the gunboat
would come in, we now began to wor-
ry lest it should not. We reasoned
that the advantage was all on our
side, rs we had good protection and
a steady platform, which the gun
boat could not have.
Breakfast Refreshes All.
In the meantime a fire had been
built and coffee made and bacon
broiled, and this with some hard
bread refreshed all greatly. 1t was
thought best to carry our tons Of
military stores. piled heller skelter
along the beach. to some place con-
cealed from view, and this slavish
task consumed the greater part Of the
forenoon.
While carrying out these tasks
many anxious glances were cast sea-
ward. and about II o'clock a film of
smoke was noticed far to the north.
Closer and closer it came, until we
sci, but we were kept in a fever of
uncertainty as to it's identity
We loaded the gun and pointed 1t

rifles scattered along the beach. TAX
ing shelter wherever they could.
I was already estimating the dis
lance for trial shot when the vessel
suddenly swung her broadside to and
we recognized the Dauntless. Captain
O'Brien, fearing that we might use
him as a target, had swung around
purposely in order that we might
identify the vessel
There was a wild run for the boats
by all except a small guard left on
shore and we were soon out TO the
steamer. No time was lost landing
the remainder of the cargo. AS to
the adventures Of the past night. we
were told that the Dauntless had led
the gunbOat a straight chase to the
north for several hours and. Out-dis-
tancing her pursuer had finally made
a wide circuit and come back to get
rid Of the remainder of her cargo.
