To End the Laws Delays.

Ellihu Root has added another to
the many distinguished public ser
vices with which he is to be credited.
Distinguished as his career has been.
we can think of no other victory high
er than that won by him recently in
successfully leading a movement in
the New York Constitutional Conven-
ton for simplification of the methods
of court procedure, reducing the laws
delays and the cost of justice to liti-
gants. II he's become crying evil,
one which, II suffered to grow. or
continue. may lead to deplorable con
sequences, that legislatures, lawyers
and courts have been suffered so to
complicate forms of procedure as to
pervert judicial Justice.
II is strange that in a constitutional
convention, with majority of lawyers
in its membership, there should have
been grave danger of the defeat of
vital sections of the judiciary article
in which many needed reforms OF
practice are proposed. So imminent
WIS ueieat 'hat "i' N'o'' "hS -
president of the convention. left the
chair to take part in the debate. In
the powerful address made by him in
support of the section, end the judicial
article generally, ne did not spare
members of his profession who op-
posed the reforms. He was strong
in resentment of tendency among
lawyers to, make cult of their pro
fession." I'VE should discourage
technicalties and subtleties which
tangle justice in the net OF FORM he
exclaimed at one point, and insisted
that lawyers should hold themselves
to be priests at alters OF justice.

CARNOTITE INDUSTRY
GRADUALLY IMPROVING

o. Barlow Wilmarth, president of
the Colorado Carnotite Co. left on the
noon train Saturday for Idaho Springs,
after being in the carnotite fields.
You may say that the demand for
camotite is gradually on the increase
and that l believe the industry will
pick up slowly even though the war
does go on. The American demand is
growing, despite the fact that Europe
will not take another pound until the
war ends.-Montrose Press.

B. F. Early.-Necessity is great re-
former. When people cannot afford
meat for dinner. they can manage to
eat vegetables and cereals and nuts.
Peanuts will grow in demand every
year and the southern states will find
this industry far more profitable than
tobacco. At any rate the steer on the
range is passing away as did his cous-
in. the buffalo. When the west was
first settled by the whites. venison
and bear meat and smaller game were
as common as green pastures and the
streams were alive with fish. We
manage to get along now after this
abundance OF natural food has become
only a memory. And SO will men exist
after beefsteak has gone glimmering.
Fifty years ago the sick had to have
venison and pheasant or trout to eat.

Charles Greene.-Death is but the
noiseless ending of flame. 1t hurts
us not for there is nothing left to
hurt. The time will come when fear
of death will be banished from the
earth. Such fear is the result of false
education. Death is as natural as
birth and it follows it as inevitably
as the night follows day. Death is not
an enemy but friend. 1t is not the
dead that suffer but the living whose
hearts are darkened by sorrow and
pierced by pain over the loss they
have sustained. There are many su-
perstitions in regard to death that
civilization is gradually overcoming
but 1t is pretty long job.

IF it Is right for the dry coun-

why is it not right for the wet
counties to vote the dry counties
wet? 1t is poor rule which will
not work both ways"
To this ! would answer: Simply
because it is not right for any coun-

German Report Says a British

Near Helgoland.

London. April 23,-Taken in con-

that British submarines have been in
the fight of Helgoland, where the
German admiralty lays claims to hav.
ing sunk one, and perhaps more, this
is believed to foreshadow some move
ment in the North sea, while there is
no longer any endeavor to hide the
fact that big Anglo-French forceis
prepared to go, as General D'Aman-
de, the French commander, has said,
ito any point where it is required"
A German report says that part of
this force. which is under command
of General Sir Ian Hamilton, has
been landed at Enos, a Turkish town
near the Turko-Bulgarian border, on
the northern side of the Gulf of Sar.
os, under the support of the allied
fleet. AT the same time there is news
of transports loaded with troops
passing the island of Lemnos, not far
from the entrance of the Dardanelles,
and of others being sighted off Smyr.
ma, on the coast of Asia Minor.
This makes it uncertain where the
blow is to be struck. There are Ang
lo-French troops in the Aegean sea
including Senegalese who we're trans
ferred from France, and British
''Tommies" from the outposts of tn
empire, which, with the disappear
ance of the last German raiders, ar
considered safe from attack.
Farther east, in Mesopotama, tn
Turkish army sent to bar the Births
advance from the head of the Per
sian gulf, after having suffered 6,
600 casualties. is in full retreat, ha
raised not only by the British, but b,
Arab tribesmen, whom they had en-
listed on their side, and who, nov
that the Turks have been defeated
have turned against them.
Nearer home, the British are hold
ing tenaciously on to Hill 60, neal
Ypres, which they captured from the
Germans Saturday and which the
Germans since have been trying t
retake. The French are pressing OF
the two sides of the German triangle
in the Woevre.
The Russians. according to thei
accounts. are repulsing repeated
Austrian attacks southeast of Lup
kow Pass in the Carpathians, and ar
holding their own against the Aus
tro. German efforts on their flank
near Gorlice, in western Galicia an,
Stry, in the eastern part of the sam
province. These attacks apparently
are being made with the object o
holding the Russians where they ar
while the Germans are preparing t
strike at the Russian lines at som
other point. possibly from the direc
tion of Cracow.
Although rumors are many an
divergent, no d finite news has bee
received of Italy's intentions.
