In New Jersey, President Wilson S
state, the Republicans will have 81
members of the next house of the as
sembly and the Democrats 20. The
Republicans also gained two state
senator's and the next state senate
will be; Republicans 13, Democrats
8. Massachusetts elected Republi-
can governor and sent to private life
a Democrat who had been governor
Tor two successive terms and was
seeking reelection for third term.
The Republicans elected the entire
state ticket and gained u seats in
the Legislature. In Pennsylvania the
Republicans elected congressman
and the mayor of the city of Phila-
delphia. Kentucky, one of the bull
warks of Democracy, came within an
ace of electing Republican govern
or, and the Republican gains were
reported as "appreciable." No Won
der there is gloom at the White house
and especially since the Bryan at
tack. Poor Woodrow. He needs a
wife for consolation, only the event
should be postponed about year as
then the gloom will be thick enough
to cut with a knife.

To Build Fire Escapes.

The recent fire in the east in which
nearly fifty school children lost their
lives has aroused the Durango School
board to the necessity of equippine
all local school buildings with fire
escapes. Steps have been taken to
have these constructed at once. Wher
The work is completed it will be the
duty of those in charge to see that
the children are given frequent fire
drills, teaching them agility on the
IRE escapes as well as on the stair
ways.

Change of Weather.

The storm OF Saturday afternoon
left the streets and roads quite mud
dy, pleasant change from the dust
we have had for several weeks. While
the rain was falling here snow fell
in the La Platas and these are as
white as though it was mid-winter.
The electrical storm that occurred
here Saturday night was the most
severe that has visited this section
for many years.

Why not compulsory international
arbitration? If twenty nations agree
to arbitrate all questions that might
arise between them. why not have the
understanding that the first one that
refuses and begins to fight will have
to fight all nineteen others? There
would be far less need of prepared
ness on the part of any one of the
twenty Small armies and navies
then would be police forces to see that
International agreements were not
broken, or, if broken, that the guilty
nation was soon brought to its SEN
ses. Multitudes of men live up to
contracts, not because they want to,
but because they know the penalty
of violating them, says a writer in
Dumb Animals. Very true.

INDIANA REPUBLICANS
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

There never was an "off year" in
Indiana like this one. The Republi-
can State committee has been hold
ing a series of meetings in various
portions of the state and the attend
ance has been such as to clog tabu-
lating machine. From ten to twenty
thousand men have turned out at
Roshville, Noblesville, West Baden,
indianapolis, East Chicago, Terre
Haute and other communities, and
the enthusiasm displayed has not
been equalled since 1883, when Benja-
min Harrison first headed the Repub-
lican ticket. In addition series of
dollar hanquets' has been held at
each there has been an attendance
which crowded the tables and taxed
the krchens.
Republican leaders are more than
pleased with these results, because,
they say, the large crowds indicate
the intense interest that the people
of the state are taking in political
matters even thus far ahead of the
1916 election. They contend that il
is sure indication that the Repub-
licans are alive and awake and ready
for the coming battle.
In addition to the great crowds
they turn out for the meetings, an
other feature of the situation that
The leaders point out as an indica-
tion of Republican optimism is the
large number of candidates for state
nominations. If there were no chance
to win there would be no candidates,
but there is contest on for every
Republican state nomination. There
are no contests for Democratic state
nominations.
Just what caused the voters to turn
down the proposed constitution in
New York state is not made clear up
to date as it was as near a complete
and comprehensive document as could
be well gotten up. 1t contained many
changes of special value to the poorer
classes. For instance in court pro-
cedure there is universal complaint
over the delay in trial of cases. As
Elihu Root said in one of the sessions
of the convention, the. people "feel
that the path of justice is obstructed
that the honest man would better lose
his claim than go to court" Mr.
Root insisted that thea system OF
legal procedure should be such that
''the farmer and the merchant and
the laborer can understand it and
know why he is delayel in getting his
rights" With this purpose in view
the convention made provision for the
simplification of the rules of civil pro
cedure, prohibited the Legislature
from continually meddling with these
rules, took away from the courts the
power to appoint fee-paid referees
and provided for permanent commits
sioners with fixed salaries, regulated
and reduced the number of appeals
which could be taken and were TAX
en- solely for the purpose of secur-
ing delay or of wearing out liti-
giant financially. There were other
provisions equally as beneficial, but
the voters listened to the serin voice
of politicians and turned the new con
stitution face downward

Scenery Not TO be Marred
by Advertisements.

At the meeting of the State High
way commission in Denver a few
days ago the board decided that no
advertisements will ne allowed on
state roads. 1t was decided that no
signs larger than three feet square
may be placed along the highways.
Automobile organizations and other
associations will be allowed to erect
special signs upon obtaining permis-
sion.
