to be the motto of the motorists and
drivers of other vehicles in Canon
City. Recently a number of accidents
have been narrowly averted here be-
cause many people have not observ-
ed the proper traffic regulations.
Eastern visitors have commented
quite frequently upon the careless
ness OF drivers o. vehicles here and
the local authorities have been criti-
cized because OF the apparent laxity
in the enforcement of the ordinance

carriages, bicycles or other convey
ance, ridden or driven upon the

WoMAN's PART IN THE NATION
Educational Expert Tells Why He Is
in Favor Of Extending Privilege
Of the Ballot.

The time was when the state was
primarily military organization and
was symbolized best by the marshal's
baton and the headsman's ak. It's
chief function was to repel invasion
from without and to hold its own peo-
pie in subsection. In such a state
only a limited manhood suffrage was
conceivable.
The state of the present and the
future is a cooperative organizations
living normally on terms of friend
ship with all other states, and striv-
ing to obtain for all of its citizens
the largest degree of personal deveE
opment and welfare. 1t is best SYM
bolized by the schoolhouse, the good
road, the lighted street, and the san
itary home.
These ends can, no doubt, be best
and most surely attained by suffrage
extended to include an persons of ma
ture years and such degree of mental
development, sanity, and virtue as will
insure an intelligent and uncorrupt
ballot. In the larger housekeeping
interests of the city, state, and nation,
women have as important a function
as in the housekeeping affairs of the
smaller world of the home. believe
in the ballot for women. on the same
terms as for men.-P. p Claxton,
United States commissioner of edu-
cation.

Scholarly British Diplomat.

Sir Rennell Rodd, whose name ap-
pears in the White Papers as that of
British ambassador at Rome, spent in
1908 some months in America. He
greatly distinguished himself at Ok
ford, where he carried off several hon.
ors, including the Newdigate poem
prize. Lord Rosebery became one of
his warmest friends and induced him
to join the diplomatic service He
inaugurated his career in that. pro-
fession as a member of the embassy
of the late Lord Ampthill at Berlin and
subsequently headed memorable mis-
sion to the court of Abyssinia. He
was also one of Lord Cromer's chief
lieutenants in Egypt, and was under
fire during the instruction in Zanzi-
bar, which eliminated in his driving
out the usurper and the establishment
of the late sultan upon the throne. He
is also we'll known as the author Of
at least half dozen volumes of verse,
and of monographs on Sir Walter
Raleigh and Emperor Frederick.

Her health is good, and although she

born in Switzerland, October 5, 1872.

Personal Ambition.

Personal ambition is a quite hon
orable motive. The desire for approval
and praise is something which nobody
should despise But man should not
stake everything upon those; other
wise, when his works fail TO obtain
recognition he is disappointed. He
should have in himself as his primary
motive something which makes him
independent of those things, some
thing which prevents him from doing
all those little things which impede
public work. and make it difficult for
men to work with others.-Sir Edward
Grey.

taken in vast parties through the
Louvre.
The European objects a little to
being so constantly regarded as the
keeper of a huge museum. If you
speak to him of culture, you find him
frankly more interested in contempt

than in his. worthless of the olden
time, more interested in discriminate
ing the good of today than in accept
ing the classics. If he is a cultivated
person, he is much more interested
usually in quarreling about a liv-
ing dog than in reverencing a dead
lion.
If he is a French lettre, for in

the psychology of some living writer,
while the Anglo-Saxon will be writing
another book on Shakespeare. His
whole attitude toward the things of

daily appreciation and intimacy, and
not that attitude of reverence with
which we Americans approach alien
art, and which penalties cultural
