Democratic Reforms

If you will go out and talk to any
Colorado taxpayer and pay heed to
his kicks regardless Of party affilia-
tions, you will find they are all with
regard to so-called reforms which the
democratic party has passed in the
past six years to reform Colorado.
All were called paramount issues in
their turn and each was guaranteed to
cure all ills that the people suffered.
A special session Of the legislature at
big expense was called to jam these
reforms through and the democrats
themselves now admit all are fakes.
The primary law has accomplished
nothing but to loot the public treas
ury. The initiative and referendum
has been used to hold up few good
laws and pass one or two bad ones
and robbed the state Of about q quar-
ter million dollars. The state equal
ization board has skinned the taxpay-
ers more than all the others put to-
gether in its efforts to raise money
for democratic extravaganza. All told
these reforms have already cost the
state several millions of dollars, i'm
paired the state credit to an extent
that has been an injury to every cit
izen, and if any man can show where
single citizen who did not get pull
at some of the expense money, has in
the least benefited he can win a per-
manent place as puzzle editor for the
Rocky News.

Costigan Here

Mr.. Costigan visited Prowers coun-
ty last week and decided the atmos-
phere down here was too chilly for
him and left in no very amiable frame
of mind. At Holly he ran against the
base ball bulletins which drew a
crowd while he had half dozen, but
at Lamar he had full chance with
no counter attractions and yet if it
had not been for the management of
the republican and democratic cam
paigns going up to see what kind of
a demonstration was being made there
would not have been over a dozen out
here. With the exception Of vaude-
vile stunt of Mrs. Riddle there was
nothing to have drawn anyone. She
really put on show that would draw
some on the Orpheum circuit, but is
hardly what the people want at the
state house.

Large Gathering at the Young Mems
Business Club

On Tuesday evening there was a
large gathering present at the special
meeting of the Yambas called by
President Wooden. One Of tn, prin-
cipal objects of the meeting was to
decide the question Of giving a big
minstrel show, and it was decided to
put it on about the first of November.
A meeting of the local talent will be
held tonight to arrange for it and it
will then be decided as to the definite
date.
The meeting was an interesting and
enthusiastic one and developed some
fine oratorical ability. Whenever the
president yielded the floor there was
some member of the club ready and
good speeches were the order of the
day at all times. DR.. Spicer, w. F.
McCue and Chas. Maxwell all made
interesting and sound talks on the
condition Of the roads and the asso.

Can Fly

Lincoln Beachey demonstrated last
Friday that there is nothing to air
pockets and treacherous currents that
we have heard SO much about from
aviators who have failed in this Sec
ton. II they bring good machines
and first-class engines they would
have NO trouble. At Pueblo last week
Beachey went up in a stiff wind and
looped the loop, turned upside down
and dropped straight down almost to
the ground before righting his ma
chine. He performed just as dare
devil tricks as he does anywhere else.

Betting on the Worlds Serious, as
the busher says, is sometimes SER
ious business-just ask Coker and

most up-to-date and scientific know
ledge of the game they proposed a
number of sucker bets to Harry Syp,
giving him the little end of each one.
Harry picked the four worst ones and
called them. Result-Dope slipped
four cogs and Harry cleaned the plat
ter. Betting is a sure-nuff sin

"Wet" Petitions

Petitions for vote to reverse the
former vote by which this city be-
came anti-saloon territory have been
filed in precincts numbers 1, 4, and
8, comprising the city of Lamar. The
petitions were filed two weeks ago
and we're protested on the grounds
that the precincts have been revised
and the entire territory that previous
ly voted dry" should be included.
On legal advice the county clerk de-
cided to accept the petitions and let
the "drys" go into court and ask an
injunction if they SO desire.

Convicts Captured

Two Of Tynan's TRUSTEES started to
take an auto into Pueblo for supplies
the first of the week and just kept on
coming down the valley. The officers
were notified and were on the look
out all along but they got by here
before the word was sent out. They
were caught at Syracuse and taken
back Tuesday afternoon. One only
had four months to serve and will now
get full time and perhaps another sem

STOPS "SOPPY-WET"
UNDER YOUR ARMS

For women, and men a. well, who
perspire much or little under the arms
the use of PERSPI-NO comes as q dis
tinct revelation. An article Of this
kind has long been desired. The use
of PERSPI-NO keeps the arm-pits and
other parts of the body where il is
used, normally and naturally dry.
The profuse perspiration which
damages dresses and coats and causes
them to fade or turn yellow under the
arms, does not occur when PERSPI-
NO is used. In many cases dress
shields may be discarded altogether.
Even if dress-shields are worn. these
are kept from getting sopping-wet,
curling up and causing misery and
embarrassment.
PERSPI-NO is a white powder, ap-
piled generously to the arm-pits to the
feet, or wherever excessive perspira-
ton is to be relieved. It Immediately
stops all odor of perspiration and 9TH
er Objectionable odors, and stops
chatting. Also for odor and perspira-
ton of the feet, 1t is unexcelled.
PERSPI-NO is sold at drug stores
in easy-to-use packages, of two sizes.
Csc and SOC. The SOC size contains 2Ia
times as much as the Csc size II your
druggist cannot supply you, 1t will be
sent direct by the Perspo Company,

.HERz0C BRINGS JOY
TO RED FOLLOWERS
New Manager Develops High
Class Teamwork in Field
and Fills Hole Left by Joe
Tinker.
BY C.. II. ZUBER.

CINCINNATI, May 14.-Some ex
citement those Cincinnati Reds are
creating in the National league these
days. OF course, no claims for extra
ordinarily high position are being
made for the athletes whom Manager
Herzog is plotting so skillfully these
days, but they certainly have been sur
prlsing the natives here and here
sbouts, and the general verdict is that
Cincinnati now has some ball team
and will have even more so before the
season advances much farther.
The features that stand out as
prominently as the hump on a camel
are the aggressive work of the team
as a whole, the speed on the bases
the timely hitting and the class of
several of the youngsters added to
the lineup since last fall. Of course,
It's going to be some time before d
real baseball machine is developed
from the material at hand; but there
is noticeable improvement in the
team work from week to week, and
by the middle of the season local fans
will see better baseball played by the
Reds than has been in evidence here
on the part of the locals for years.
Herzog Fills Hole.
No more satisfactory development
has taken place among the new Reds
this season than that Of Manager Her
zog at short. When Tinker was al
lowed to tango to other fields last fall,
there was much wailing over the hole
that had been made in the infield"
and the loss of the first real short
stop the team has had since the palmy
days of Tom Corcoran." All that. sort
of comment has been thrown into the
discard for the very simple reason
that Herzog, by his work at short, has
made the fans forget Joe Tinker and
recall the best days of Tom Corcoran.
There's not an angle OF the short
stop game that Herzog doesn't play
like Edwin Boom played Hamlet, >
and the beauty of his work is that it
is getting better all the time And
when it comes to handling the men
under him like human beings, why
he's a regular Charlie. the Good"
compared with those who have gone
before. Verify, that Herzog boy is
some find.
Chance for Dope.
The eastern teams now are among
us for the first time this season. So
far all comparisons between the east
ern and western sections of the Ma
tional league have been at long dis
lance. Now, with the four fasteners
invading the wild and woolly, a real
opportunity will be given to see how
they all dope out. The Bostons, who
were picked for first division berth,
but who, to date, have won so few
games that baby in arms can count
EN-, will be the Reds first opponents,
spending four days here, including
Saturday. Then on Sunday come the
New York Giants, fierce because they
have not yet struck their stride. They
will be followed by the hustling
Brooklyns, under their new manager,
Wilbert Robinson, with Sunday
game on May "a winding up their ser,
les. The Phillies are the last of the
quartet, lingering here for three days,
beginning on May Is All the eastern
teams will offer new faces, and all are
assured a warm welcome, especially
in view of the recent good work done
by the Reds

RIDING FOR RECORD
BAKER HITS TOWN

Covered with mud, grease and CRIME.
but with smile from ear to ear, E..B.
Baker, Indian motorcycle rider, of In
dianapolis, chugged into Richmond at
4:10 o'clock Tuesday afternoon on
his trans-continental dash to set new
worlds record from coast to coast.
Riding like the wind all the way, Ba-
ker has only been eight days on the
route, and probably will reach New
York, his destination, in less than
twelve days.
He left San Diego, Cal, Sunday, May
3. In order that his time might be
official, and that there could be no
questioning of his record, Baker got a
sanction from j. l.. Donovan, chairman
Of the competition committee of the
Federation of American Motorcycles
Each night Baker reports to Donovan
by wire. Donovan's office is in Chi
cago.
The present record for the coast-to-
coast trip is twenty days nine hours
and one minute. This was made about
four years ago. The distance from San
Diego to New York by road is about
$500 miles. Bakers route lies through
twelve states.
Baker is we'll known here, having
raced on the local track several times

This victory just about cinches
things for the A. S. M. Co. in the Com

played by the team has resulted in
overwhelming victories. The only
game lost was that forfeited to the
Robinson team, after the Seeders had

QUAKERS MEET ROSE
Browns Athletes Expect /. C..
A. l.. HOnOrs.

With the intention of showing the
how and the why of the track game
to the Rose Poly athletes in the dual
meet scheduled for Saturday on Reid
Field Coach Browns thinly clads are
working hard to keep in trim for the
meet.
The cancellation of the /. U. meet
last Saturday has not dampened the
ardor of the Quaker athletes in the
least and confident expectations Of
downing Rose and again taking the /.
c. A. L. are held by the Yellow and
White squad.
Although Rose will be without the
services Of Dolly Gray, for years the
best athlete at the Terre Haute
school, the team is rated with the best
in Indiana collegiate circles. In the
dual meet with Indiana Monday, Rose
made good showing against the stat.
ers and it took the best that the Grim
son had to down the smaller school.

Richmond, Home of Many Mines,
Boasts Rank as Baseball Hub
Among Eastern Indiana TOwnS

Among other things, Richmond
boasts OF being the baseball center
OF Eastern Indiana. And glance at
the teams in the field that call this
town their home will substantiate this
rather large statement. The Rich
mond club, Ealham, Senators, Owls,
Maps, Giants, Garfield, st. Mary's, st.
Andrews and about steen other mines,
Commercial league, Professional
league, school league and some fiji
teen amatuer teams comprise the ex.
ponents Of the national game In this
city.
Although Dick Kenney's crew is
recognized as the team of the town,
other teams of the city are showing
class that ranks them with the best
in the game. The Richmond Senators,
Sullivan's crowd, are. rated with the
best In semi-pro ranks Of the state
and could given Kenney's men q run
for the bacon. The Senators have
won something like twenty-one games
out of the last twenty-four played
which is no mean record.
Reagan's Earlham bunch rank about
third in playing strength of teams OF
the city. The collegians have the ad-
vantage over other teams as they
have every day to work on the dia-
mond whereas other members of most
teams work six days and play the
other. The Quakers aim to take the
secondary rag this year.
Teams Rank Close.
Close on the heels of this combina-
ton come the Giants, Maps, Owls, In
dependents, Stars and Stays. This
quintet of mines will battle for the
city championship, excluding the semi
pro teams of Richmond and the Sena-
tors. All mines have been cleaning
