Democrats really haven't any OBJ

They expect the Republicans to rustic

next four years.
Hughes says he would like six
months to investigate the Administra-

he's doing very well as 1t is.
Yes, and the same policies that have
filled Judge Hughes and others with
"a deep sense of shame" have sent
many other Americans to their graves.

about sending more troops to the Dor

ACCEPTANCE OF ELECTION

TOPEKA DAILY CAPITAL-The
only wonderful thing about the late
national election is not the closeness
of the vote, where there may be a
difference of single electoral count
in l8,000,000 votes cast, but it is the
unquestioning acceptance of the rule
of such a majority by the minority.
This is the first and last test wheth-
er people are fit for self govern
ment. There is no other. In enumer-
ating the essentials of democracy,
the author of the Declaration of In
emphasized the absolute
acquiescence in the decisions of the
majority, the vital principle of re-
publics, from which there is no ap-
peal but to force, which is the vital
principle and immediate parent of
despotism."

and personal politics. The profess
sional politician is a dangerous ele,
ment in such a body. What is re-
quired is the addition of man who
understands industrial conditions,
who is not allied with any of the cor
porations and who will give public
and corporation a square deal.
This question of membership on
the commission affects directly every
section of Colorado. Denver is not
exempted, The commission has been
claiming authority over every public
utility in the state, Denver utility
corporations included, the home rule
amendment to the contrary notwith-

sustained its claim. Therefore Den
yer is vitally concerned, and Denver
wants a business man of ability and
character beyond reproach.-Rocky

GEO. RUFFF KILLS
TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Former Durango Man is Forced to Stay 'Shug'
hurd at PIaCerWIIe to Save Own Life and That
Of Brother -in-|aw---Iu Drunk al Time

George Ruffe, former Durango
man, shot and killed Alva Hurd, IA
miliarly known as "Shug" at Placer
vile, Monday evening, after the lat
ter had attacked him and threatened
his life.
The shooting occurred on the depot
platform where Ruffe and his broth
er-in-law, Earl Carter, had driven
the hotel bus TO meet the evening
train. Hurd, who was in ar ugly
frame of mind, approached them
and commenced to settle an old
score with Carter by beating him
over the head with gun. A moment
later he turned to Ruffe, saying as
ne struck him with his gun, 'I'll get
you, too." Ruffe pulled revolver
from his mackinaw pocket and fired
four shots at his assailant. One of
these entered the abdomen, just
above the right hip.
The injured man crawled into the
depot, where Walter Fleming, the
acting agent, made him as comfort
able as possible. Shortly he collaps-
ed and in few minutes the end
came.
Ruffe was placed under arrest and
lodged in the Telluride jail AT the
coroner's inquest held yesterday, the
jury brought in verdict of "Justi-
liable homicide"
According to reports from Placer
vile, Hurd, had been drinking and
had been causing considerable dis
turbance during the day. He had
had trouble with one of the Carter
boys which ended in blows. No i'll
feeling had ever existed between him
and Ruffe.
Mr.. Ruffe is substantial man
who has always borne u good repu-
tation.

JUDGE LINDSEY SAYS
WOMEN ARE AS
GOOD AS HORSES

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 20.-Colorado
women are completing plans today
to force thru the legislature next
month Judge Ben Lindsey's bill pro-
viding maternity benefits and en-
titled Horses Rights for Women"
The bill, the first of its kind in this
country. provides that working wo-
man expecting to become mother
may receive state aid for period
both before and after maternity.
Thousands of women and girls
work till within q few days of be-
coming mothers,' Judge Lindsey
said today, "and then return to work
while still weak. Their health and
often that of their children is per-
manently injured. My bill would
simply provide that the state give
them the same periods of rest that
any wise and humane farmer gives
a horse or COW at such time.
"At present we take better care
of our cattle than we do Of our
mothers, ! believe such bill as
Horses Rights for Women would do
away with this evil. l feel that IL
we can get it adopted in Colorado
other states will soon fall in line and

Mills Necessary to
Develop New Field

+. C. Gilbert, manager of the Du-
range Smelter, and DR.. Fl. l.. Rich
ardson returned last night from a
trip OF inspection to the Horroso
camp in the Gallina mountains,
where the copper discoveries are at
tracing considerable attention.
From time to time during the past
season shipments of ore have been
made from three or four properties
in the camp. Examination Of these
workings showed large deposits of
low grade ore which apparently ex-
tended over large area.
The ore is in elementary sand
stone deposits. In a few places
high grade ore has been located. In
one instance the test showed as high
as 10 per cent. But on account Of
the long haul to the railroad, 55
miles, mills are necessary for the
camps success. Just what showing
would be made as result of consid-
cradle development work cannot be
foretold.
Near the Gallina postoffice other
properties are being worked. These
were not covered by the Durango
men.
The trip was made in Ford auto
in company with James Leming, an
old time prospector. The road lies
thru heavily timbered country,
where beautiful scenery abounds, but
not without annoyance and troubles
for the motorists.
The car in which they made their
journey afforded some of the peo-
pie in the camp their first opportun-
ity of viewing an automobile. Mos.
of the residents of that portion OF
the Gallina mountains are Mexicans
who do not speak English. but they
possess the wealth of hospitality
characteristic of their race. To the
Durango visitors they extended the
utmost courtesy and did everything
possible to make their sojourn pleas
ant and to aid them in their exami-

USELESS GOVERNMENTAL
PRINTING.

The suggestion that the govern
ment of the United States might
make a saving by cutting off some Of
its publications, on account OF the
nigh cost of paper, is in the nature
of . joke.
.ie government publications have
been for years the most foofshly
wastefui part of governmental ex-
penditures, and everybody knows it.
Every year the government contin-
ues to print thousands of copies of
hundreds of books that are utterly
useless SO far as any practical use
Of them is concerned.
Government reports" have come
to be a synonym for all that is value
less and contemplate in library as
sets. No competent librarian would
think of giving them place on the
shelves, but they are sent to the cell
lar or garret and there they remain,
forever, undisturbed. The Congress-
ional Record serves no useful pur-
pose except 10 crafty the vanity Of
congressman who like to see their
names and their speeches in print.
The publications OF the Census Bu-
reau, with the exception of IA small
part of those relating directly to the
decenniai census, are not only use
less, but they are misleading and abb
surd. The department of labor is
printing lot of stuff that nobody
ever reads or pays any attention to.
The Geological Survey, and other
scientific departments print lot Of
useless information rnany months
after it has ceased TO be of any value
to anybody.
In fact, the whole business of gov
ernment printing seems to be run
upon the theory that ertain
amount must be spent so that GER
tain amount of paper and ink may
be used and certain amount may be
paid to certain number of employees.
Saving on account of the high cost
of white paper" is ridiculous. The
cost Of governmental printing might
be reduced to less than one-fourth its
present amount without serious loss
to anybody except those whose
names appear on the public payrolls
and supply ouchers.-Pueblo Chief
