The censorship Is SO strict that few
details are permitted to become
known. News agency reports had q
battle between the British and Ger
man feet In which six German war
ships. and two British were sunk.
This report was not given credence
by the admiralty, where II was point
ed out that Germany and England are
not yet at war.
Germany's invasion Of Belgium, In
direct conflict with the latter's proc
lamation of neutrality, was bitter
disappointment to England. It proved
conclusively that the kaiser did not
\ intend to permit any obligation to
interfere with the well laid plans for
( conQuering France. Germany Z de-
handed the right to move troops
through Belgian territory. The de-
mand was refused, but Germany
rushed its Cologne army across the
frontier, making three armies men
acing France and all presumably
! headed for Paris.
Sir Edward Grey placed responsi-
biiity for the break upon Germany,
when he declared:
England has tried consistently to
secure peace. II was not possible,
however, because of the briefness of
the time and the disposition In some
/ Quarters to force matters rapidly to

The Deficient Legislatures

The governors seem to be all firm
ly agreed that the present Legislative
system in this country is antiquated,
but they do not agree upon the rem
edy Some think that fewer mem
bers and more pay would be the thing.
Others believe that more frequent
meetings would be better, and yet
others, as the governor of Kansas.
are ready to abolish the legislature
as such and govern the state by
commission.
There is no question as to the pre-
vailing distrust in this country over
the acts of the average legislature.
The laws which are made are as 4
rule hastily put together; there are
too many laws and the men who make
them are quite incompetent in many
instances. This much may be said
without impugning the honesty of
legislators, and without indorsing the
general view that the average mem
ber of the general assembly may be
reached" in one way or another.
The proposal to have a state COM
mission instead of general assem-
bly, is radical in its terms. The chief
objection to it is found in the fact
that if the people of the state can not
be trusted to elect larger body will
they do any better with a smaller
body? In Colorado Springs We know
that the commission form of govern
ment gives some good and efficient
public servants and it likewise gives
us some who are incompetent, but
who have been elected over vastly
better men because they are good
vote getters. Would not that same
thing occur with respect to a state
commission elected by the people !?
For If we are not to elect these men
by popular vote we might as we'll lay
aside any pretense to representative
government
Legislators as a rule are not dis
honest; they are incompetent. They
know little or nothing about the se-
rious business of framing laws which
the people of the whole state must
obey or be sent to jail. They are
unused, from q business standpoint
in dealing in large enterprises. in the
disbursing and dispensing Of sums
running into the millions That is one
reason why legislatures as rule are
failures.
A smaller body would only be effi-
cient as the people who elected 1t
became more conscientious in the
discharge of their duties as citizens
and that is a great problem and one
which really is at the root of all these
questions.-Colorado Springs Tele-
gram.
