Mixed Wires.

We not infrequently hear some man
mentioned as live wire" but the
same fellow often seems to carry an
over amount of insulating.
This is necessary to prevent other
wires from getting crossed with him
and burning buildings and killing
people.
About the most useful kind of wire
there is. is the common barbed wire.
1t is used on fences. and fences are
good things, on farms or in politics
or business.
The small wire is useful for putting
up stove-pipes, flying kites or kiting
checks. Copper wires are used for
telephone lines and fiddle strings.
A crossed wire is a crank and Is u.s.
ually sentenced to run a newspaper.
A wire screen is used to keep out
the flies and to cage butcher men at
the meat markets. In the days be-
fore prohibition 1t was used to keep
people from watching you when you
crooked your elbow. All wires have
their uses. The times when they are
least useful is when they are curled
up in bed.

Suggests Civil Service Repeal.

Perhaps one of the most aggravat-
ing situations that will present itself
to the new administration will be The
question of Civil Service. The iic-
publican party has always been pleos-
ed to Civil Service. In an effort to
gain popular will the Democratic
party enacted the present Civil Ser
vice law which is about as inefficient
as any law could be. Yet if the Re-
publicans attempt to repeal it they
will be charged with being unture to
former promises and they will be
charged with using the state govern
ment for political purposes only. We
suggest that the law be repealed and
that a new law be enacted naming the
president of the state university at
Boulder, the president of the agricul-
tural college at Fort Collins and the
president of the School of Mines at
Golden as the examining board for all
civil service employees in this state
The present criticism against civil
service results from the fact that no
one has any confidence in the exam
lining board. 1t does not command
the respect of any one in the state.
It's examinations are not conducive
to securing of the most eff
ficient employees for the positions
to be filled. If we had a board acting
under a non-partisan law and COM
posed of such men as the presidents
of our three greatest institutions of
learning our people will have conf
dence in the employees selected un-
der the examinations conducted by
that board and our civil service ques-
tion would be settled. Hence we sug-
gest to the legislature that it make
this change.-Grand Junction News.

'SUFFRAGISTS KEEP W. CT. U. OUT OF
 MONTANA PARADE
Fear to Antagonize liquor Men by Allowing Temperance
 Banner in Parade.
(From Mrs. W. B. Williams,
 Anti-Suffragist.)

We are often told that votes for women will do great. things for the temp cause. instead of specu- hating on what it may do; let us con- sider what it actually has done. In Montana this falL the suffragfsts were afraid to allow the w. c. T. U. to march in their parade.
 We quote from the 'sW oman 8 Voice. the official organ of the Mon tana W. c. T. U. October issue:a tOur w. c. T.. U. has no division in the suffrage parade during fair week. Our committee was arranging for float, banners, etc., according to invitations given, when our chairman was in formed that some sufragists thought it better not to have the w. c. T. U. in the parade as a body. It is laugh able to have the snffragists so consfd- crate Of the views Of the liquor men that they fear to a.ntagonize them by allowing a temperance banner in the parade. But such is their policy
 What has woman suffrage done for prohibition in the State of California Prohibition was defeated there at the last election by 2o0. .000, and a law was passed that the issue cannot be raised again for eight years.
 Facts speak louder than words.

LARGER QUARTERS SOON FOR INTERNAL.
 REVENUE OFFICES
Overcrowding of Small Room Now Provided Will Be Remedied in Near
 Future.

Enlarged and more adequate quar- ters are soon likely to be asked for the local internal revenue office in this city. With the collection Of the new emergency war tax, and a jam of per- sons expected to crowd this branch of the treasury department in June when the income tax is payable, 1t has been pointed out that the present quarters are not only Inadequate but they are actually dangerous to the interests of the, government with such large sums of money as are expected to zbe han d1ed at that time.
 The present office is located on the second floor of the federal building. There is but one room, partitioned by 8 counter, open at one end and glazed to a height of about five feet from the floor. There is little accommodation for those coming to transact their business, no privacy and the handling of all moneys is in plain sight of any spectator.
 It has been pointed out by those having dealings with other offices that much of the business done should be in secret, according to the provisions Of the new income tax law. and that the present crowded conditions should be remedied.
 Collector J. J. Walsh at Hartford already has been acquainted with the situation. Recommendations will be made by him to Washington which will result in the larger accommoda- tions being granted here.
 It was announced today that none in Bridgeport had yet availed them selves of Uncle Sa1n's offer to refund all penalties collected on December 1 from those who. had failed to make their war tax declarations. Unless this money is called for it is likely to be returned to Washington and remain in the treasury.
