London, March 22.-The lombard
ment of the Dardanelles by the ten bi.
English and French battleships and
many smaller craft is ready to reopen
with even greater fury than reigned
Thursday when the Irresistible and
Ocean of the British navy and the
French dreadnought Bouvet were sunk
and eight other vessels damaged, ac-
cording to the arJoffices of London
and Paris.
While England still insists that the
loss of life on hir vessels was slight
France admits that nearly 600 of the
Boavet's 621 men were killed, and ad-
vices from Constantinople and fort
towns along the straits say that fully
5000 men from the vessels were
killed and wounded. Bits of news from
the admiralty, issued piecemeal, paint
picture of horror in the battle zone.
The monster German guns of the
great forts are drawn upon the war
vessels, while hundreds of the bodies
of the manglcd Englishmen and
Frenchmen float on the waters-tomb-
stones to other hundreds OF their COM
rades who were killed in the fighting.
Advices from the front say the
shores are lined with other bodies and
that manned and dying men are trying
to crawl to safety on the land of the
enemy after being washed ashore.
It is asserted that the great fleet
will soon crush Its way on to the Turk
capital. On the other side. in the Bos-
phorus. the Russian fleet is knocking
at the door, and naval experts express
the belief that the doom OF the straits
has been sounded. ..
On their side the Turks express con-
fidence that the forts and the mines
In the straits will be able to keep out
the ships of the allies. They Insist the
big forts are not damaged.
Paris.-Zeppelin airships raided
Paris Sunday and dropped dozen
bombs. Seven or eight persons were
injured, one seriously. Four Of the air
craft started for the capital, following

FARM LOAN LAW INVALID.
Supreme Court Knocks Out Measure
Giving State AID In Individual

Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declared invalid all parts OF the farm
ers' loan law which provide for a
loaning system. The decision was an
nounced In the case brought by At
torney General, Farrar In the name of
the people against M. A. Leddy. former
treasurer, to compel him to apportion
uninvested school funds for loans to
farmers on unincumbered property as
provided by the law. .sL Eg5
The case, which was test one, was
advanced by the Supreme Court upon
Its docket in order that an early de.
cision might be. had while the Legis-
lature was in session. .sss.
Bills to remedy the constitutional
defects of the loan law are now pend
Ing In both the House and Senate.
The court found that section 46 of
the loan law was In violation OF Sec
tion l. article 9 of the. constitution.
which prohibits the state or any coun-
ty or municipality from lending its
credit to any person. company or
corporation or from becoming respon-
sible for any debt OF any person or
corporation.
BY the provision OF the law in ques-
ton. the county commissioners, were
to assess a tax upon all assessable
property in their county to meet any
default in payment by. farmers of
money loaned them by the state. -
The court held that the law made
the counties liable for the debts Of
the farmers and was therefore invalid
and that 1t was unconstitutional for
second reason; that the counties had
no right to make up loans Of the
school fund because section 3. article
Of the constitution provides that "the
state shall supply all losses Of the
school fund that occur in any manner
The bills which have been intro
duced in the Legislature are designed
to meet these two defects. The SEN
ate measure is by Senator Barela and
the House measure by Representative
Fincher and Nelson.

Among the manufacturing industries of the
nation the steel business is fundamental to ALL
and among the patrons of the steel industry the
railroads stand first of all. When the railroads
begin to buy engines and rails and supplies on an
extended scale. other users of steel begin to move
into line and the demands of the steel industry in
turn radiate out in all directions. general in
dustral revival begins.
The railroads have started their buying move
ment. Chicago figures up thirty million dollars
of contracts placed by them within thirty days
This news is accompanied by reports of iron fur
naces being blown in and rail and steel plants
re-opening or going from part to full time
1t is an old saying that when America takes to
wearing it's old clothes, it can place the whole
world under tribute 1t is equally true that when
the railroads begin to buy new clothes the signal
is set for the whole nation that the old clothes are
played out altogether and that it is time to replen
sh the wardrobe all around.
That signal is flying.

LICKED WITH THE WHIP.

Here we are in the sixth week of the session
two-thirds of the fourteenth legislature nearly
gone-and not a member Of the house has an
official copy Of the rules The rules committee,
and that means Sims and McArdle, have them and
have had them for some time but they have not
thought it necessary to pass them out
What is the situationY Simply this: the Repub-
licans of the house are licked into line with the
party whip and so of course rules aren't neces-
sary Whatever rules Sims and McArdle need to
use are used-the rest do not matter. 1t all de-
ponds on what the occasion demands. And the
speaker of the house had the temerity the other
day to hold that the house rules are superior to
the state consttution-and there are no house
rules! Isn't that going it pretty strongf
There is some talk Of the Republicans noml-
mating Sims for governor. We sincerely and ear
nestly and eagerly hope they do. For there are
some who will remember this legislature and the
last some who will remember the fish trust, the
Stop-Look- Listen league, the wanton violation OF
the state constitution which he and his partner
McArdle have already engineered in two sessions
and boast they can do in the third, and not the
least of ALL his constitutional aversion to every
thing that savors of modern legislation, to any
thing but the old gag-rule gang-controlled, boss
ridden Republicanism of the past when only ne

Listers vetoes of the two tax board bills that
reached him, and particularly Of the emergency
feature Of that one concerning the land board,
were not only assured from the outset but will,
we think, meet with general approval throughout
the state The spirit that prompted the enact
ment of those bills warranted exactly such action
from the executive Above all, the emergency
clause, utterly uncalled for and wholly against
both the letter and spirit of the state constitution,
deserved the instant veto it got.
