For Stoessel Jared poorly at the hands

/ Women failed to make as good a
showing in Chicago's last registra-
ton as had been predicted by the suf-
frage leaders. Only about $4,000 wo-
men went to the polls. The least op-
timistic among the suffragists had de-
clared that at least 100000 women
would register, while some of the en-
thusiasts had estimated 100000. In
cluding the 15s,524 women who regis
tered in February and those whose
names were enrolled last week the
total number of women qualified to
vote at the April election is about
100000. Not more than 10000 men
registered, bringing the total num-
Der of men on the poll lists up to
nearly 445,000. The total number Of
men and women who have qualified

hood Of 665 900, which is few thous-
and less that the total number Of

CITIZEN DISGRACE.

The governor of Colorado has called
on the people of the state to assist
him in preserving order with the with
drawal of the troops from the strike
fields. 1t sounds like strange re-
quest, yet it seems to be necessary in
order that men may be prevented
from destroying property and killing
one another.
1t is the more startling now that
the strike is practically over. 1t is a
reflection on any community il under
such conditions military government
must prevail. But the appeal of the
governor is made not alone to the
people in the coal fields of southern
Colorado. 1t is an appeal to the peo-
pie of the entire state, for the gov
ernor appreciates, and he is vel
founded in his beliefs, that much
danger can be created by person ant
publications many miles distant from
the points where industrial strife has
existed. Trouble can be melted il

mouth, and in the printed page 10
Gated far therefrom. And it is thu
misstatements, the utterance and pub
lication of comment on unfoundet
facts and without investigation, which
the governor is anxious to guar'
against. And especially does he wan
the citizens to come forward and ties
tify as to the facts they might hav'
in their possession in the event o
further trouble.
In this way peace can be restored
and surely the citizens of Colorado
have sufficient regard for law ant
order, the preservation of peace, tn
happiness of all homes and the pros
perity Of the state to do this much

JUST A SUNDAY GOVERN
MENTAL SERMONETTE
BY AIva A. Swain.

By Alva A. SWAN.
Some years ago the Legislature Of
the state of Illinois enacted law
giving unto school board the pow
err to manage the schools of Chicago.
That power carried with it the right
to dictate the policy of the schools OF
that city. A few months ago Mrs.
Young, principal of one of the
schools, proposed different policy
to the members of the board. Those
members studied the policy as sub
mitted by her and after mature delib-
Grafton turned it down. Immediately
Mrs. Young began a campaign of
abuse against the members who OPP
posed her plan. She was Joined by
the lieutenant governor of the state
who advised that the children strike
rather than submit to the judgment
of the regular officials of the schools.
The people became wrought up, held
mass meetings and otherwise made
their demands the subject of muck
raking press and stump speech ora
tors until the mayor of the city re-
moved the six men who had dared
to exercise some judgment of their
own. Another set of men were ap-
pointed who had neither backbone nor
brains with the result that they cater
ed to the whims of the reform school
principal.
In the meantime the schools were
demoralzed, the faith of our educa
tional institutions as held by the
children shaken and trouble was gen.
erai all over the educauivn.-, f;aLd Of
that big city. And for what? Be-
cause the plan of the agitator was
better than the plan of the board? :?
No. 1t is now admitted that the plan
Of the agitator was worthless. 1t was
all because someone had managed to
dream out new dream A fad of
the night as it were. Luckily the
men whom the mayor removed had
the courage of their convictions and
they fought his right to remove them
through the courts of that state and
won. Now they are again directing
the policy of the schools of Chicago
but they cannot bring back to the
children the los of time, learning and
respect for our institutions that have
been lost in the turmoil.
Is it not time we returned to the
saner moments of thought on ques-
tions of government Is it not about
time that we began to realize that
only once in century does a spas
modic outburst of reform carry with
it governmental principle that
would weather even whirlwind let
alone the storms of the political
life of a nation.
The foolish principal and the un-
faithful lieutenant governor have been
lost in the vortex of humanity but the
harm they did will stand as the scept-
er of a false ghost to the children of
tn, Chicago schools as long as today's
memory lives.

PUNISH THE GUILTY.

The following from the Pueblo
Chieftain is to the point and applies
to every place that harbors such class
hatred:
The citizens of Denver owe it to the
city to find out who started the run
on the German American Trust com
pany and to properly punish that
person. Denver has had enough
trouble to contend with of late with
out this added setback.
As we understand the matter Pres
ident Schirmer Of the banking institu-
ton has been prominently identified
with the local fights over the muni-
cipal corporations in that city. He
supported the water company in its
fight to sell its plant to the city dur
ing twenty-year lease that was to
be granted. Just now he is support
ing the telephone company in its eff
forts TO get franchise under con-
tract submitted to the people. AS we
also understand it, powerful interest
that opposed the water plan and are
now opposing the telephone plan,
started in Friday to deliberately
wreck his bank. They telephoned al
most every depositor, even to young
boys and girls having less than one
hundred dollars on deposit, that the
bank was insolvent and that run
was going to be made Monday. This
telephoning continued all day Satur-
day and part of Sunday. The result
was inevitable. A run was, the only
thing that could have happened. All
day Monday and part of Tuesday, the
people stood in line four deep and two
blocks long trying to get their money.
The other banking institutions real
izing the real truth of the attack,
came to the rescue of the trust COM
pany and the money was literally
hauled to the back door of the insti-
tuition us fast as it was needed. The
run ended without the bank taking
advantage of single technicality
and with every depositor who wanted
his money paid in full.
The result in this case was not as
planned by the people who started
the run. But what about the future
Can Denver afford to let the matter
drop? 1t isn't the German American
Trust company that is affected, or
that will be affected. 1t is the city
itself. II the time has come when
men can not take sides on public mat
ters in Denver without attempts be-
ing made to wreck them financially,
then indeed is Denver ready to be
banished from our union.

SLOPE FRUIT AGENCIES
MERGE SALE EFFORTS

The following dispatch from Grand
Junction under date of March 23, will
be of interest to fruit growers:
After long drawn out fight over
the adoption of the central selling
agency plan, the Western Slope Fruit
Growers association and the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association
have finally approved the sales plan
and will operate it the coming season.
Now that the local associations are
all combined under one sales force, it
is proposed to take in other western
Colorado fruit associations, if they
desire it. One association, the Sur
face Creek Fruit Growers in Delta
county, has already made formal ap-
plication to this end.
The selling agreement has been
deadlocked for two weeks by tie
vote of the eight directors of the
Grand Junction association, the ninth
man being too sick at his home in
Palisade to attend the meeting. AS
a result, it was finally decided to go
to Palisade and the meeting was held
in the sick room, where the tie was
voted off.
AS finally agreed upon, the selling
plan will not conflict in any way with
the Sherman antitrust law. The va
rious associations have simply agreed
to employ an expert selling force,
headed by Howard G. Fletcher, form
erly manager of the Grand Junction
association, at salary of $4,000 a
year, to handle all fruit, each asso-
citation having its proportionate share
Of the expense. He has an expert
corps of assistants, including a
freight rate manager, inspector in
chief, salesmen, etc. All fruit sent
out in the future must be uniform in
grade.
All fruit will be sold f. o. b. selling
station, and the returns will be turned
over to the association.
"This is not an association organ
lied to maintain prices, or increase
them. but simply to get more of the
money that the consumer pays, for
the growers" said F. e. Port, who is
president Of the new sales agency.
The new method Of marketing will
be tried out for the first time the
coming venr and 0rowers exnect that
1t will mean a saving of from to 10
cents a box in the cost Of handling
the fruit alone. II this is the case,
there will be an additional income for
the valley Of at least quarter Of a
million dollars.
