one election. A four year term for
all state and county officers would
be none too long and there should
be no reelection of them. Independ-
ence of action, and freedom from i'm
proper exercise of patronage and 9th

view is this: The people need poll

Reforms may be carried so far as to
annihilate party organizations. There
are times wien party solidarity is
essential to the public welfare and
we wouldn't be without the incentive
to party devotion. We say this with
full regard for those men who refuse
on all matters to he bound by party
ties or party caucus. All rules need
exceptions We are very nearly APP

condition as ore fraugEt with grave

We are not SO sure that the "shor

We are not so sure that the 's(lort
ballot" bill if enacted into law,
would be of benefit to the state oI
productive of economy. When the peo
pie of state relinquish their SOW
ereign rights and allow governor
to choose all the subordinate state
officers as a president does his cab
met, it is placing too much power in
the hands of one man. When presi-
dents are selected they are supposed
to be from class that have weight
with all classes and parties and for
the good of the general government.
But when governors of states are
selected they almost invariably are
from the class that wie,d political
power, and in many cases use it with
unscrupulous designs. For govern
or to select the remainder of the
state officers h: S never as yet been
tried in any state and Colorado af-
ter fathering so many progressive
laws that have proven a boomerang,
cannot afford 10 champion this in
ovation. The people at large have
ever been tru ted to make their
choice in the selection of those that
are to govern, and it is one of the
inalienable rights handed down by
the trainers of cur Democratic con-
stitution. Colorado has been kept in
the limeligLt for 10 these many
years with untried progressive laws,
and now let Us enjoy the coming
prosperity withort again being taint-
ed with more progressive laws that
are a laughing sock to the nation.

TURPINITE is LITTLE USED
Asphyxiatins Shells Have Been Found
to Have Small Effect in the
Open Field.

At the beginning of the war a great
deal was said about the newly-discov.
cred turpinite shells, which, it was
asserted, would kill by asphyxiation
all living creatures within a certain
radius. Since then surprise has often
been expressed why little or no use of
this wonderful explosive has been
made by the French artillery. There
are reasons to explain its nonemploy.
ment.
In the first place, turpinite shells
have little effect in the open field.
They can only be usefully fired
against inclosed spaces, forts or
dwellings. And so long as the enemy
is on French or Belgian soil the risk
to French or Belgian civilians would
be too great to justify the use of tur-
pinite in the bombardment of towns
and villages. Moreover, the new ex.
plosive can only be used with special
ly constructed guns of most delicate
machinery. Used with the ordinary
seventy it's dangers would be
almost as great to the French gunners
as to the enemy.
The speculation now will be
whether turpinite will come into its
own If Germany is invaded and its
fortresses are bombarded.
Gilpin observer., 1915-03-25
FOR GOOD ROADS

1t is to the interest of every
board of trade and Chamber of Com
merce as well as the private elector,
to see that their representatives and
senators bend their efforts to enact
into law, Senate bill No. 332 pertain
ing to good roads. This bill provides
for the repayment to the state Road
Fund of $225, 900 loaned several years
ago to the Capitol Building Fund.
This bill has already passed the Sen
ate, and if ratisfied by the house.
will place this amount at the State
Road Funds dis osal. Should this bill
fail of passage, the amount of funds
now in the tre1 sury for road fund
purposes as prorated to each county
for the year 1915, would give Gilpin
county $4SO.39, Grand S470.74, and
Clear Creek only one cent, as the
road fund on books on March 16, 1915
was only $3.50 for the entire state.
1t is therefore essential that this
bill pass the house and receive the
governor signature, that we may be
enabled to place our roads in prop
er condition to accommodate the
great automobile traffic that will sure
" come to the state the coming sum-
mer.

HARD TIMES IN THE 'eos

times that followed the Civil war. was
talking about the high prices which
the European conflict is causing
People will weather it in some
way" she said. I'VE did in the Civi,
war days, and prices aren't anything
now to what they were then.
How did we do it? Why, in every
possible way. l remember l utilized
salt bags to make underclothes for my
girls The salt bags in those days were
of stouter, better material than they
are today, and, as I'd always been
thrifty and saved 'em all, they came
in pretty handy, l can tell you. The
girls were not fond of sitting down
when they had their salt-bag undergar-
ments on, for they said there were so
many seams that it hurt to sit down.
II made white skirts for them all
three of them--out of my own white
skirts. They were pretty full in those
days. l found l could get along with
one, and the rest l cut over for the
girls.
THE boys wore 'hard-time suits,
made of the cheapest. almost shoddy
material, and they looked just as
cheap and slimsy as they were But
the boys didn't mind-it made no diff
ference whether they minded or not,
it was all most people could afford

But somehow no one seemed to

"Appetizer. for veoet.bIe..

Not fertilizer but an appetizer for
vegetables is supplied by the radioac.
tive earth taken from the refuse of the
carnotite mines of Colorado and
sowed at the rate of fifty to one hun.
dred pounds per acre in order to in.
crease crops from 10 to 105 per cent
over plots treated in precisely the
same way, except for the addition of
the radium earth. DR.. H. II. Rusby.
Dean of the Columbia College of Phar-
macy has published his report in the
Journal of the New York Botanical
garden. This carnotite earth must
emit rays of a different kind from
those of ordinary earth. which is 20
times as radioactive. 1t would be well
worth the time Of scientists skilled in
separating the alpha, beta, and gamma
rays Of radioactive substances to find
out which kind best stimulates plant
growth.
