One Of the pretty affairs of this week
was a card party given for Miss Drach
by the teachers of the Glenwood
Springs schools. Under the direction
or Miss Hunting the luncheon was
.iaintily served by the members of the
Freshmen cooking class, who had bsen
in the fifth grade under Miss Drach.
The luncheon was followed by a
shower, all the prcseHts being placed
upon a beautifully decorated Christmas
tree and tine ori1e-to-be almost believed
Santa Claus had been here already.
The whole evening was a delightful
one, but sad expression was seen on
the faces Of the teachers who realize
that Miss Drach is soon to leave the
ranks Of . teaher. But all wish her
much happiness.

Liberalism may be an appalling blight.
1t is the bane of unimaginative men.
They are often more deserving of sym
pathy than of condemnation. Street car
fare in Cleveland is 3 cents. But If tick
cts are not offered, and if the exact 3
cents is not available, the rate is cents
per person. This is a utilitarian rule, and
has been found desirable in order to pre-
vent the annoyance Of conductors.
There have recently been discovered in
Cleveland a number of conductors who
have applied this rule to the limit of
liberalism. They have refused to accept
a dime as cash fare for three passengers.
Although the proffered coin was cent in
excess of the stipulated cash fare, they
have insisted that inasmuch as the exact
0 cents was not offered there must be
three Scent fares paid 1t has been nee
essary for the railway company to issue

Claims Increased Rates Not Needed.

Senator Thomas of Colorado told the
Senate today that there was no need for
an advance in freight rates now being
asked by the railroads. Railroads, he
said, were overcapitalized and increased
rates were sought merely to pay divi-
dends on watered stock. He spoke with
reference to a letter he submitted from a
western constituent relating to the bond
issue of the Union Pacific railroad for the
purchase of the Southern Pacific, which

Ihe face OF the former Minnesota gov

He was uncommunicative about condi-

vessel-assuming the canal was now open
leaving New York could go through the

and foreign, under the low of American
registry The witness said. Yes"
In reply to Senator O'Gorman, however.
he said that it would be perfectly feast
bic to con1ine coasrwise vessel passing
through the Panama canal to domestic
business.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the number
OF American vessels now doing coast

:;t3 of the seagoing vessels doing coast
wise trade would be able to use the canal
on a satisfactory commercial basis -~
Mr. Chamberlain told the committee
that u vessel OF less than 1000 tons
would not be available for regular COM
mercial use through the canal. ne sssio
that the number of Great Britains s over
seas trade vessels was AIS, and that
one-half of the overseas trade Of the
world was done by English vessels.
Mr.. Chamberlain insisted that II
would be impossible for sailing ves-

That the United States government

the opinion expressed by e. t. Chamber

cation. who appeared as witness before

Mr.. Chamberlain told the committee
that he thought the surrender or
the trade through the Panama canal
TO foreign vessels under conditions ana
laws that now exist, was practically
complete. He based his statement on
the fact that there are at present only
fifteen American steamships engaged
IN oversea trade, that only 3eS or inc

advantage, and of these 81 per cent,
