PROTEST AGAINST MORE PARKS

A few weeks ago we called atten-
ton to the silk-stocking faddist of
recent importation to our state, who
has no more conception of the in
dustry that founded the state, built
its beautiful cites and towns, than
the Hottentot las of the heavenly
bodies.
Colorado is fast getting a national
reputation as the state where freak
laws are instituted without number.

Yer daily press, that is continually
harping the states rotten politics,
is largely to blame for the investor
avoiding Colorado.
Colorado has now two national
parks, that are ample for the tour
list trade, and this should appease
the most fastidious. Much to our
regret, we have among us an element
of recent importation who run riot
over pleasure grounds, and would
convert lands that are most vital to
the states prosperity into national
pleasure gardens that are known to
be rich in precious metals, that
form the very bu,wark upon which
the state must depend for revenue.
Cripple Greek, the greatest gold
camp ever discovered, thirty years
ago was known as grazing grounds
for Colorado herds, and Leadville
and Aspen, two of the richest silver
camps known, were forty years ago
public domain, and were brought into
prominence by the unerring hand of
the prospector, and contributed hun
dreds of millions cf dollars to the
states wealth.
A project is now on foot by this
erratic element, to convert the great
and rich gold belt lying between
Long and Pixies peaks, comprising
Boulder, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Park,
Summit, and portion of Teller coun
ty into an additional national park
as well as a portion of the silvery

Regarding England declaring cot
ton contraband of war, the Houston
Chronicle calls attention to the fact
that in 1905 when Russia declared
cotton contraband of war in order to
keep It out of Japan. Great Britain
lodged viperous objection. Russia
contended that cotton was used in
the manufacture Of explosives and
that this justified her in placing It
on the contraband list The British
ambassador at ST. Petersburg argued
that while cotton was employed to
some extent for this purpose. the
amount of 1t so used was infinitesi-
NAL compared with the required
needs, and that 1t was wrong for
Russia to subject IAN innocent branch
os commerce to such burdensome
restriction on such a flimsy pretext.

S6ort Men for Var.

The days of then supremacy of the
big man in war seems to have passed
according to an opinion of writer in
the British Medical Journal. He re-
ports that over thirty thousand British
soldiers have been lost in the present
war because of their large size. In
war, short men, he says, are in many
respects more desirable than their big
ger brothers. They do not require as
much room in transport, they eat less,
they can find cover more easily and
they can shoot just as we'll as the big
fellows. He is in favor of reducing the
minimum height and weight require
ments for soldiers. In the old days OF
personal encounter the larger man had
the advantage but in these times where
the soldier stands in the trenches and
shoots, the little fellow is even more
effective.

WHAT SCIATICA IS

There is something terrifying about the
word sciatica. Yet sciatica is nothing
but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and
neuralgia is an Inflammation caused by
lack of nourishment.
Application of dry heat as hot sand
bags or flannel o'the course of the in
famed nerve often quiets the pain but it
does not feed the nerve 1t istemporary
relief, good thing to know about, but
not remedy.
What causes the nerve starvation that
results in neuralgia and sciatica and how
may it becorrected?
The most common cause is a rundown
physical system and a frequent exciting
cause is exposure to cold. Thin blood is
often at fault. It is through the blood
that the nerves get their nourishment.
Mortal man knows of no other way of
getting nourishmeEt to a nerve. There
fore when the blood gets thin and fails
to feed the nerves they show their resent

Wisconsin is not the only state where
the question of high taxes ID being dis
cussed from dawn to dark and we'll in
to the night. Recently Charles Francis
Adams, the we'll known author, read
an article at town meeting near
Springfield, Massachusetts, which
shows that the taxes have been creep
ing up there like the tide when it comes
in from the ocean. He spoke particu-
larly of the town of Lincoln and said
that in 1894 the selectmen recommend
ed appropriations aggregating SIT, 900,
and for the current year the amount is
$4,000. The state tax for Lincoln in
1894 was 81, 500 and last year it was
|$13, 900. In 1894 the population of
Lincoln was 987 and its valuation,
So, 900. 600; now the population Is ITS
and the valuation has crept up to
81, OO0,0 The population therefore
has increased 19 per cent and the valu-
alton So per cent. Every year the board
called attention to the increased ex-
penditures but were not able to prevent
the swelling tide. Expenses have gone
on until the cost of government for a
family of five is now 1885 while it was
only $85 in 1894. The same process
has been going on Sank county, in all
the counties and in every state in the
union. 1t seems to be irresistible. Noparty
is to blame, it is in the very air. Mr..
Adams pauses to ask how much further
the movement is to continue. He says
it cannot go on indefinitely. His only
solution was a protest to the Legislature
against county and state taxation.
