sition than it is generally thought to
be by many people. The Legislature
is the law making body OF our state,
and the people Of the state must i've
under and abide by the laws enact
ed by the Legislature, therefore care
should be exercised in selecting Rep-
resentatives to that important BODY
to make the state laws.
A Representative in the Legislat-
ure should have certain Indispensable
qualifications. He should have edu-
cation as well as integrity. He
should be versed in the needs of the
state at large as well as the needs or
the county in which he resides.
He should know how to draft u bill
and be familiar with parliamentary
law in order that he may do effec-
tive work in the Legislature. He
able to stand up and discuss intel
ligently the bills before the Legis-
lature, for it is by discussion and de-
bate that the weaknesses and objec-
tions to bill or measure are
brought out. He needs to be more
than a good fellow. He needs to be
a student and a hard worker and able
to cope with strong men sent to the
Legislature from other parts OF the
state.
In order to bring about the enact
ment Of good laws legislator should
be versed in the general principles Of
the law and in the construction and
operation of such laws. The statute
books are now filled with laws that
are unintclligible and contradictory,
and ungrammatical English. Las
Animas county should send to the
LEGISLATURE u man capable and quail

a ready debatcr. a hard worker and

stand up and fight for the welfare
of Colorado people. institutions ana

Mr. Schmidt has practiced law for
twelve years. He is II graduate of
both the literary and law depart
ments of Indiana University. In
l1912 his ability as a speaker was
recognized when he stumpcd the state
for the State Central Committee OF
the Republican party. He is stu
dent, hard worker and Il man OF
honor and integrity and is well
] qualified for the place.

Washington, Oct. 31.--Thc Hurk-
ish minister OF finance Informed the
French ambassador at Constantinople
yesterday that the raid of Turkish
warships on Russian seaports took
place without knowledge Of the Otto

under the influence of German off
GERS and crew. This conclusion was
conveyed in dispatch today from
ambassador Morgenthau to the
American government.
Mr.. Morgenthau added that tho
Russian ambassador received instruc-
tions at 3 n. nj. yesterday to demand
This passports and made an effort to
see the grand vizier who pleaded i'll

The Russian, French and British

this line extends to Ostend or Gee

up to the present no official inform

confirmation OF the reported cvacu-
alton of Lille by the Germans also
is lacking. Tie battle in the vlcin-

the slaughter is SO great that central

CAR RAMA AND
VILLA RETIRE
TO PAC|FY
MEXICO

Ell Paso. Tex, Oct. 31.-Leaders of
the rival Carranza and Villa factions
of the constftutionalist party in Mex
leo today looked for ar early settle
ment of the differences between the
two chieftains, following the action
Of the Aguas Calientes conference
late yesterday in adopting a decree
deposing both Carranza and Villa
from official positions.
The plan which would retire the
two opposing leaders was drafted and
adopted unanimously by a joint COM
mittee on civil and military matters.
the members of which are the leaders
of both factions. 1t arranged that
the new provisional president. to be
named later. should take oath of Of
flee before the assembled convention.
The document thanked General Car
rama and General Villa for their
revolutionary activity.
The proposition for the retirement
of both leaders was made to the con-
vention by Carranza himself, who in
sisted that unless villa also retired
he would be compelled to refuse to
step down from office.
Later in lne night the protncal
came up before the assembled body
and was passed by vote Of ~ to
112. Those voting mo" did so be-
cause they did not realize the conse-
gent power in the vote since the Ia
pata delegations were not permitted
to cast their ballots on account OF
their not having proper credentials
from the southern chieftain. The
protocol. however. arranged for the
ZaData men to secure definite creden-
tials and become members Of the
body which will name a provisional
president. The pt,n OF agriculturists
differed widely from the many other
revolutionary plats esydOptcd at Va
rious times during Mexico's 6O-day
revolution in that 1t was more defih-
lite In the matter of arranging a pro-
visional government and carrying out
civil reforms. 1t places full power
in the provisional president and the
present body of chieftains, which will
act in the capacity Of congress. The
plan does not call for elections until
after the arrangement of civil re-
forms by the body. No time is set
for the general elections. The plan
in this regard SAYS:
Said president will take oath
before the assembled convention and
arrange the program of the govern
ment which will emenate from this
arrangement along business lines to
realize in a pre-constftutional period
the social and political reforms need
ed by the country"
This plan borders on the suggested
form of government since
the provisional president would be
acting as chairman of the conven-
tion. General CarranZa was denoted
to the position of general of division
which he held prior to the draftiig
of the Guadalupe convention. which
made him commander-in-chief Of
the constitutionalist army during its
fight against the Huerta power. All
commanders. General villa included.
were placed under orders OF the sec
retary of war. who would be named
under the new arrangement. al
though previous clause clearly
stated that both Carranza and
Villa would cease their present
functions"

London. Oct. 31.-The impression

WESTERN STATES
 FACE PROBLEMS
By ARTHUR ". DUNN.

Washington, April 21 -(speciaU That the west has its trouble IS snown by important legislation which is pend ing.
 If the western men would get to- gether and the rest of the country would let us settle some of our ques- tions. just as New York and New Eng land have settled their questions, we would evolve something satisfactory" So said Senator Sutherland of Utah, commenting upon the several bills re- Iating to coal lands, radium and the disposition of lands in Alaska.
 Senator Shafroth of Colorado has pointed out that all the public lands in western states are not taxable, which makes burden for the tax paying people of the states. Senator BOrah of Idaho often breaks in with his com plaint that the large forest reserva- tlOns are virtually independent govern ments within the states and are re- tardlng the development of those states
 If the western questions should be settled it would save lot of time in congress, but these western questions include conservation, waterpower and all of the many complex matters that have arisen in the name of conserva- ton. It will take some time to settle them.
 Are These Political straws7
 One day Senator Chamberlain, a Democrat, commended the American ism and courage of Theodore Roost- welt. On the same day William Alden Smith, q Republican, said something of a like nature. The query naturally arises whether the political straws which show the direction of the wind aoated through the senate that day. Senator Smith quoted Mfr. Roosevelt as favOring American control of the coast wise tolls question. Senator Lodge eI' hibited intense surprise and questioned the accuracy of any such statement. Lodge was pretty close to Roosevelt during his entire administration, but occasionally the president said things which did not have the approval of the Massachusetts senator.
 Kitchsnette Cabinets.
 We have often heard of kitchen cab inets in connection with administra- tions. Nearly every administration has one. One can readily see that there Is no such attachment to the Wilson administration, but there are little circles, councils, boards of strategy and smaller organizations which may be called kitchenette cabi- nets that meet from time to time in Washington and formulate theories, plans and suggestions to be carried to the president if any of the kitchenettes should ever see him. It is not likely that these suggestions would have much weight with the president
