 The News believes the country has great possibilities in an agri- cultural way, but we do not wish to be guilty of any over represen- tations whatsoever and therefore we restrain ourselves and keep our praise of the country from becom- ing as glowing as we often feel.
 However, we can assert without taint of exaggeration, that the climate here is one that can hard ly be beaten. Just to breathe this pure, br&cing air and to feel the energizing sunshine and to see how the children here thrive, is worth a great deal to man.

Order and Appreciation

A representative~of the News had an interview with one of the parties in charge of the Santa Fe entertain ments the other day. This official expressed regret at the lack of good order apparent at some of the Santa Fe entertainments given this win ter, approved the action of the News in criticizing this lack of order, and thought something ought to be done to see that the order kept at the entertainments is better Tn the future.
 In regard to the move to secure the use of hall so that the enter tainments might be given without a show preceding, the official was skeptical of any tangible results coming from it. It seems that this plan was given something of a trial once before. Mrs. Dermont who was largely instrumental in
 persuadirg the Santa Fe Company to put on the entertainments here. offered to furnish the hall excep, on special nights. The usual charge for the hall was five dollars but on special nights the charge was ten. On special highs Mrs Dermont contributed five of the ten. Extreme difficulty was exper- fenced in raising even the remain ing five dollars on the special nights After such an experience, it is but natural that this official should feel quite skeplical as regards any tangible results from the present movement in this regards, and sh, uld feel that tine motion picture an is conducting a favor upon the public in offering the hall as at present.
 The News believes that it would be good thing for the people to raise fund for the pu. pose of se- curing a hall, and as stated before would be glad to contribute to such an end, providing this fund could be raised entirely independent of the Railroad Company, and in a manner not to cause the company any bother whatsoever However, until the people have raised the fund and secured the hall they should have only thanks for the company for giving entertainments as at present. The Santa Fe is no more bound to furnish these enter tainments for the public than any other business concern and we ought to have grace enought to thank them for what they have done. The members of the News force had the pleasure of attending a number of these en ertainments this winter and derived a great dea of benefit from them.

sity in the German empire. And the
persons who are complaining most
bitterly about conditions in the Ger
man empire are its trade rivals.
The yellow peril bogy pops up
whenever an increase in the worlds
population is discussed. Hoffman
isn't worrying about that-yet. At
present the civilized rate of increase
is 9.3 per 1000 against 5.8 per 1000
among the tinted races. OF course
as soon as sewers and serums and
district nurses become prevalent
among the uncivilized, something
may happen. A more pressing care
will be given our old men and women
Hoffman points out that "a large pro-
portion of persons are surviving to
the economically productive per
iod of life" When this world af-
fords less elbow room the young folks
will be kept buster taking care OF
themselves. Hoffman suggests "the
more intelligent utilization of ole
age"
And there are other red lights he
sees ahead on the road of the worlds
progress. He suggests that unless
we more carefully conserve the food
producing resources of land and sea
prevent waste, and educate our young
in domestic economy and the prob
lens of nutrition rather than in use

STUDENT HAS A
PATENT MILK CAN

GREELEY, Colo, Feb. 11-Adolph
Miller, a student at the State Teach
ers college has applied to the gov
ernment for patent on a milk can
so arranged that the milk is strain
ed at the same time the COW is milk
ed. This saves much labor and time
This result is obtained by a com
bination cover and strainer so con-
structed that it may be attached to
the ordinary milking pail A remov-
able funnel, divided by a partition
down the center to prevent spatter-
ing of milk upon the worker directs
the fluid to a circular opening ir
which screen is permanently fixed
Miller says the greatest merit OF
the invention is then keeping of dirt
out of the milk and the straining oi
the fluid all at the same time.

Show Merits Of the
Pixies Peak Highway

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Feb.
11.-Whether the "Pikes Peak route
shall be one of the links in the pro-
posed Lincoln Highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific was the princi-
pal question discussed at the meeting
of the Lincoln Highway association of
Colorado held here today. 1t is said
the Colorado counties through which
the Pixies Peak route passes have
expended S150,000 within the last
year improving the road and this was
pointed to by many of the delegates
as an indication of what can be ex-
pected if this route is adopted.
Inasmuch as the proposed trans
continental highway will be largely
used by automobilists, the convention
today paid particular attention to the
needs of the knights of the motor.
They maintain that by using the
Pixies Peak route, motorists can drive
across Colorado in single day. 1t is
expected the convention will arrange
for demonstration proving this con-
tention, by holding a trans-state aut-
omobile race to be held in June or
July. 1t is suggested that such race
start at the Kansas line and end at
the border of Utah, the route at its
highest altitude touching l0,400 feet
above sea level.
This afternoon or tonight the dele
gates will see steropticon slides show
ing various scenes along the proposed
route. This is the third annual con-
vention of the Lincoln Highway asso-
citation of Colorado.

SOCIALISTS OBJECT TO
OFIT-SHARING PLAN

At Socialist mass meeting in De-
troit 500 workingmen, many of whom
are employed in the automobile fac
tories, denounced Henry Ford and his
s10,O00,000 profit-sharing plan, on
the ground that labor had been dealt
the severest blow it had received from
capital in many years.
Detroit had for years been an
open shop town, but working condi-
tions have not been bad," said An
thony Beyers, local Socialist lead
er. "The bombast and sensation
which marked the Inauguration Of the
plan brought $4,000 unemployed
workers to Detroit.
"These men are starving in the
streets. They are offering them
selves to employers of labor for
starvation wages and are throwing
out of employment the thousands of
skilled workmen who have been re-
ceiving a fair wage for their labor.
The monetary value of skilled and
unskilled labor is reduced to a min
imum.
"F'ord through his announcement is
drawing from his possible competi-
tors and fellow employers in the auto
mobile and mechanical field the high

pert labor therey affecting other pro-
ducts of mechanical labor and reduc-

May Make City Hall
out Of High School

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 11.-Denver
may take over the East Denver High
school as city hall, if congress
grants the removal of the school, as
proposed. The proposition has been
put up to the other city commission
ers by Commissioner Thum.
1t is proposed to use the building
as city hall, accommodating the Of
ficers now occupying the county
court house. Should this be done the
city would be free to sell the present
court house ground and building as
suggested by Robert f. Speer, when
he was mayor.
Some months ago the city officials
received tentative offer from east
ern capitalists to purchase the
ground. At that time price of ST.
100000 was suggested by number of
citizens as proper, 1t was said the
easterners planned to erect hotel on
the court house site.

POPULATION INCREASING IN
GREATER RATIO THAN FOOD
(By Herbert Corey.)

We are dying off too slowly.
In fifty years the population Of
Europe and the United States will be
1,000,000,000 Then there will be per-
dition to pay and no pitch hot.
That is an uncouth way of phras-
ing the more polite statement of
Frederick l.. Hoffman, the stasti-
clan. He holds that:
1.-THE most important result of a
declining death rate is an accelerated
growth in population, foreshadowing
most serious economic and political
problems"
Most eugenists are solely concern
ed with the quality of the coming
race. Hoffman cares mostly about
its quantity. He does not agree with
the conclusions of many other leading
eugenists that the human race is dy-
ing out like toad under bell glass
On the other hand, he finds that it is
increasing over the world at an aver
age rate of ~ per 1000. This is
due to decline in the death rate
which more than offsets the observed
decrease in the birth rate. This, Hoff-
man says, means trouble, spelled bill
board style.
The worlds debt now amounts to
$42,000,000, and the annual ad-
ministrative expenditures of the civ.
ilized countries approximate $11 ,500,-
100000. OF this annual cost one
tenth goes to pay interest on the
quoted debt. Not only are the future
generations heavily handicapped to
pay the cost of our fun, but the cost
of government is going up. 1t now
costs $31 year to govern an aver
age citizen in an average city of 80,
900 population or more. An increas
ing population means a dispropor
tionate increase for sanitary improve
ments, etc. No wonder Hoffman
says:
"In any question of race improve
ment it is of the utmost importanc,
that our government be made NOR,
efficient"
It's up to the next generation t.
discover whether efficient govern
ment can be furnished at cheape
rate in large lots. Experiments alont
this line have been started in some
thing like 300 American towns AM
cities, which are working with varia
tions on the time-accepted form o
municipal government. So far as W
are concerned, the outlook seems b,
comparison bright. Hoffman say
that in fifty years the population o
the United States will be only 200,
100000, resulting in density o

Immediately.
John Lawson resumed his testi-
mony describing at length the at
tempts the miners made to get con-
ference with the operators before the
strike, and of their subsequent at
tempts to settle the strike.
Congressman Byrnes of South Car
olina, questioned him on the stand
the entire morning. Much of his tes-
timony supported the strikers charge
that the militia favored the opera
tors and encouraged strikebreakers.
He introduced photos of machine
guns turned on the Ludlow colony
while the soldiers searched the strike
breakers. He said the strikers were
disarmed, only the mine guards be-
ing allowed to remain armed. He as
serted the soldiers forced men to
work unwillingly and promised to
produce witnesses to that effect.
Byrnes asked if the postal service
was interferred with, Lawson replied:
"Yes, / wrote Mother Jones on Jan.
uary 26 as did John W. Brown. /
registered it and addressed it to the
San Rafael hospital. The letter was
returned unopened and indorsed 'Ad-
dressed to military prison; these let
ters cannot be delivered" ,"
When asked if anyone had been ar.
rested and detained illegally, Lawson
mentioned Mother Jones and others
He promised to produce affidavits
supporting the charge that peonage
exists and immigration laws were
violated.
