Durango Democracy
Bubbles With Joy

Really, the situation is growing

to ascertain just what is up. All
day yesterday small groups were OBJ

that no article appearing of late have

which the employment of fish other
than the menhaden for that purpose
will prove to be the utilization of the
dog fish," said Mr.. Turrentine in his
report.
This supposition is based on the
general hatred for the dog fish en-
tertained by the fishermen and the
concensus of opinion that their de
struction is imperative. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual loss from de-
struction by dog fish of food fish and
fishing gear in the state of Massa-
chusetts alone amounts to 100000"
The Canadian government has al
ready sought to combine "a war on
the dog fish with an increase in fer
tilizer material by establishing three
plants in Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick for the purpose Of converting
the dog fish into fish-scraps.
Near Pensacola, Florida, a plant
has recently been erected to utilize
The waste due to preparing fish for
food. With the establishment of
other such plants it is thought that
millions of mullet which cannot be
disposed of for food might be made
available for the fruit and truck
growers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-President

interviewed, said in part:
"1he league discussed Evers' con-
tract and decided the Chicago club
violated it. This certainly indicates
that Chicago cannot expect any re-
wards for its action in dismissing
Evers. If players violate the con-
tract the club owner expects his pun

Foster Says Bryan
is Financial Theroist

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 14.-"Secre-
tary Bryan is the worst financial
theorist that this country has ever
SEEN"
u. Pierpont Morgan was the great
est figure in modern history. He was
far greater than Abraham Lincoln. y
Socialism would like to divorce
Wall street from the best financial
interests of the world. 1t can never
do it."
"The regional bank system will
work to the disadvantage of the coun-
try. We should have one central
bank, located in Wall street and
backed by the United States treas
ury."
prosperous looking man, over 60,
voiced these sentiments with vigor as
he sat in the lobby of the Savoy bo-
tel. He was Albert J. Foster, head
of the Peoples bank of Boston and
one of the richest men in the coun-
try.
He bewailed the fact that "money
is too cheap" in the east now and he
believes this condition is temporary.
He thinks the railroads are not get
ting as great dividends as they
should. The ''undigested tariff he
blames for the present depression felt
in the money market.
Foster is here on sort of educa-
tional mission. He is trying to show
the western wool growers that it is
vastly to their advantage to ship
their raw produce to the cloth mills
of Massachusetts where Boston is the
hub of the industry. He urges them
to sell the wool through brokers,
eliminating at least two middlemen
AS a result of his annual visits to the
centers of the wool industry eighty
per cent of the crop of Arizona was
direct to Boston last year. 80
per cent from New Mexico and like
proportion from Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado.

Community
in State Of Chic

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Feb. 14.-''The
happiest little community in Ohio is
the term applied to the Ohio Institute
for the Feeble Minded, where 1900
mental detectives are working and
playing. While reformers and many
scientists are demanding sterilization
of mental detectives, DR.. E. j. Emer-
ick, superintendent of the Ohio insti-
tute, has apparently solved the prob
lem of this state.
Segregation is the proper way to
eliminate feeble -mindedness,' said DR..
limerick. This isn't a hospital. It's
home, a workshop, playground.
These people can never hope for re-
covery. They are not to blame so
why sterilization They are the
states wards, not burdens, in our in
stitute here. Then, too, the institu-
tion is their protector as it shields
them from the scoffs and jeers of the
thoughtless."
Large, airy. well lighted rooms
house dozens of little boys busy at
weaving, making hammocks or door
mats. For the older boys and men
there is training at blacksmithing,
carpentry, plumbing and painting.
But the girls are having the real fun.
They are being made housekeepers
and home makers. Every girl in
loves to fuss around kit
chen" said DR.. limerick. $50 we
have fixed up model kitchen and
dining room for them. They are CIV
en- scientific instruction in the art of
cooking. Then they serve the meal.
Our girls know more about getting
things on the table neatly and invit-
ingly than many grown ups. ~
'And it isn't work to them. It's
play. You see, their minds haven't
developed past the childhood stage in
most cases and they take chi!d's de-
light in doing something" There is
a well equipped gymnasium connected
with the institute and last but not
least, there's music to make the in
mates happy. Pianos and victrolas
are scattered through the buildings.
A course in music is given those com
pctent to take it. They have TWEEN

probers. He testified that he paid the
families of the miners that were kill

some could have earned $1,000 an

That's what we settled for" re-
piled Welborn.
Regarding closed shops the witness
said: 81 will never believe in closed
shops that prevents us employing

During the discussion of the high
fatality rate in Colorado mines, Con-
gressman Austin remarked: 81 think
