Washington-The house of repre-
sentatives Monday passed the bill Gre
ating Rocky Mountain National park
in the Estes park region of Colorado.
The bill was previously passed by the
senate. In urging the creation OF the
Rocky Mountain National park before
the house, Republican Leader Mann

when 'the vast horde of Americans
who now go to see the mild scenery OF
Europe would go to see the grand
scenery of the Rocky mountains"
The United State. Senate Tuesday
concurred in the minor amendments
made by the national House, and the
signature of President Wilson now
only remains to make the measure a
law.
Rocky Mountain National park will
be the fourth great playground to be
established by the nation In Colorado.
The others are the Mesa Verde Nation
al park in southwestern Colorado. in
Guiding the largest and finest cliff
ruins In the world; Wheeler National
monument near Wagon Wheel Gap,
and Colorado National monument near
Grand Junction. Wheeler monument
is a remarkable rock formation, only a
few acres in extent, but rivaling in
weirdness anything in the Yellowstone.
Colorado National monument, which
is easily accessible from Grand juno
ton, is remarkable for the rugged
grandeur of its scenery, which has
been compared to the Grand Canon of
the Colorado, and for the monolithic
formations, hundreds of feet high,
which are scattered about the park
The new Rocky Mountain National
park includes 231.Os0 acres in the
Longs peak region. Certain private
land holdings were eliminated from
the original draft. With the exception
Of 3.0S2 acres all the park is located

and Colorado National forests, In the
counties of Grand, Boulder and Lari-
mer. In the park boundaries are more
than sixty peaks above 1900 feet
high. including Longs peak, which is
higher than Pixies peak. and which
affords one of the greatest mountain
climbing attractions in the entire
Rocky Mountain range. There are
about 200 lakes in the region, many
OF which are above the timber line.

Important to all Woman
Readers OF this Paper.

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer great deal with pain
in the back, bearing-down feelings, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be despondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys. proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be n blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney.
Liver and Bladder Remedy will do for

The Statue of Liberty.

The War Departments denial of
the report that the Statue of Liberty
in New York harbor is to be gilded
was hardly necessary, for it was vir-
tually incredible that the government
should put perishable coat of pre-
cious metal upon bronze figure that
is in its natural color more beautiful
than any extrinsic decoration can
make it. A gilt Statue of Liberty
would be little short of an atrocity,
and 1t is not remarkable that per-
sons of artistic tastes should have
been excited over the report. It may
be that the statue has been somewhat
neglected In point of repairs and at
tention to the inner structure, but
nothing should be done to change
the gray-green coat that time has
given the bronze and that has ac-
quired distinctive character. At
present the great figure is part Of the
landscape. 1t Is not garish. nor does
it obtrude itself famboyant1y. Yet
it cannot be lost or mistaken. It is
always there to welcome both stran-
gers and citizens on their arrival in
port. A gilt Liberty would be too
much like an advertisement. Fortu-
nately good taste prevails sufficiently
to prevent such desecration.

Joyous Geraldine.


II saw lovely foot ball game"
Said joyous Geraldine.
1.-THE foot bali seemed quite kind and
tame
In a tempestuous scene.
They :! pushed and pulled and pounded
And slammed it through the air.
The foot ball didn't mind a bit,
1t never seemed to care.
At first it was so nice and neat
1t seemed a perfect shame
To jump on it with dusty feet
Throughout the thrilling game.
The men who played got fearful
knocksl
Though some of them fell down
And tore their trousers and their
socks,
Their parents did not frown.
Though some of them went walking
out
And others used a crutch,
They still assaulted that foot bali stout,
But couldn't hurt it much.
Although / raised my voice with glee
To hail the victor's name,
The foot ball really seemed to me
The winner of the game"

Democrats and Bull Moosers.

Chairman McCombs expresses the
opinion that bull moosery. as an In
dependent proposition. will cut but a
small II any figure In next years
campaign. He expects "a straight
oue-and-out fight between democratic
and republican candidates" with Mr..
Wilson ~ the democratic candidate.
This 10 the way he puts It:
The majority of the progres.ives
Will be found voting with the demo-
cratic party in 1915 Some, of course,
who voted for Col. Roosevelt because
they were strongly attached to him
will be back in the republican fold.
an some states third party men will
continue to vote the progressive ticket
in 1916. This will make it diff cult for
the republicans to capture electoral
votes, though, of course, not to the
same extent as in 1919.
But, nevertheless, realize that we
will know next November that we
have been through real fight"
What is to take a majority Of the
bull moosers into the democratic
camp3 Not even in the republican
party has there appeared as severe
a critic of the administrations for
eign policies as Mr.. Roosevelt. A.
respects both Mexico and Europe he
thinks Mr.. Wilson's course has beer
mistaken to the point of crime tina,
it has cost America heavily in pres.
tige. and should be rebuked at the
polls. What bull moosers still under
the Roosevelt influence will vote the
democratic ticket next year?

question of precedence of death in
case a husband and wife lose their

Passing of Famous Ships.

Two famous ships of the American
navy-that part of the establishment
which is affectionately called the old
navy-have recently been sold as
junk and committed to the flames
for the recovery of copper and other
metals used in their hulls, and which
can be more cheaply secured by burn
ing the hulk than in any other way.
There is something shocking to pa
triotic sentiment in this process, but
efficiency and sentiment are often in
compatible, and where they are so
efficiency has the right of way and
sentiment goes by the board.
A few weeks ago the sloop of war
Portsmouth, which, under command
of Capt. Montgomery, carried the
Stars and Stripes into the bay at San
Francisco, was sold for trihing sum
and her buyers then had her hauled
to mud fats near Boston and set on
FIRE. The Portsmouth went into the
harbor of San Francisco, or as the
village was then called, Yerba Buena,
some months ahead of Commodore
John Drake Sloat with his flagship.
the Savannah, and two other ships,
the Cyane and the Levant. Patriotic
efforts were made to save the famous
old craft from a sordid fate, but they
were not sufficiently practical.
A few days ago dispatch from
San Francisco said "a series of
charred, oaken ribs projecting out
OF mud fat in San Francisco bay
was all that remained of the frigate
Independence, the Oldest ship in the
United States Navy, which was burn
ed for the copper in her hull" In
the news it was said that the career
of the Independence began in 1872 /;
that the frigate was Americas first
flagship and carried seventy-four
guns on her three decks. After her
retirement from active service the
independence was stationd at Mare
Island as a receiving ship, and three
years ago went out of commission
even in that capacity.

THE DEFEAT OF SUFFRAGE.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Still, lady like Mile. Suffrage would
hardly like to be introduced to a city
that was simultaneously engaged in
welcoming Messrs. Penrose, Ware and
McNichols.
From the New York Evening World.
Half million men voted for woman
suffrage in this state. 1t wasn't I'M
successful campaigning among the
men that lost the battle. Suffra ge
failed because of the women-the ones
that didn't care.
From the Brooklyn Times.
Since more than half a million men
voted for suffrage in this state. II
would seem that the suffragists' claim
that {. million women wanted the vote
was close to correct.
From the Knoxville Sentinel.
Defeat for the women in three big
states was bit disconcerting, but their
fight was an education-to themselves
as well as the electorate. Every move
ment must have beginning before VIC
tory can come.
