first section, which reads as follows:
Section /. The owner, person in
possession or caretakcr of an do
nestle animal or animals shall here
after be liable for all injury done by
such domestic animal or animals.
This does not say anything about
herding cattle or keeping them off of
the cultivated crops, and, as matter
of fact, the owner, person IN charge
or caretaker is responsible for any
damage they do, no matter where they
are or what the damage is. If the old
COW breaks through a weak fence
along the railroad track and succeeds
in derailing or wrecking a train, then
the owner, instead of receiving dam
ages from the railroad, would be liable
to a suit for damages from the rail-
road. Should the stOckman turn
bunch of cattle out in charge of a
herder and the cattle should cause any
damage of any kind, the herder would
be to blame and, under this law, would
be held for the damages. OF course,
indirectly, this would mean the owner,
although the herder might be entirely
to blame. No statute book anywhere
in the country contains any similar
law. 1t is alleged to be for the pro-
lection of the farmer, and is touted
as an act that Will be OF great dement,
to him. AS a matter of fact, the farm
err will be the principal man injured
by such law, and it will come nearer
to putting him out of business than
any act that could be designed.
Just at this time the outlook for ag-
riculture in Colorado is bright. Farm
ers are busy, and there is little COM
plant of any kind as to the existin"
law protecting the farmer from tres
passing animals, The question natur-
ally arises: Why should the agricul-
tural interests Of this state be in
flicted with such loaded bomb a..
this act at this time There is no
question but that it will be defeated,
but it will require lots Of effort and
the expenditure of money to acquain.

More Watchful Waiting

1t seems to be the habit Of mem
bers of the Wilson administration to
read important papers hastily and
then forget their contents. Many
months ago Admiral Fiske wrote an
extended report upon naval needs;
and presented it in person to Secre-
tary Daniels who read it, had it filed
and then later denied that he had
ever seen it. Now comes the inform
alton that a national organization of
chemists made a careful compilation
Of facts showing that dye indus
try in this country could, upon a
weeks notice, be transformed into AN
explosive factory with a capacity of
10000 shells per day These facts
were submitted to President Wilson.
handed by him to a cabinet officer, by
whom they were handed to a bureau
chief who, in turn sent them to al
OF acknowledgment. And .he admin
istration has done nothing further
about ii except defeat Senator Lodges
for tariff that woul
build up dye industry. If we want
cheap preparedness we shall never
get it more easily or more quickly
or establish it more permanently than
through an extensive dye industry.
But we can't hope for that under a
democratic administration.

Mrs. f. C. Dodd, Of Laredo, Texas,
was a visitor to Washington recent
ly. Mrs. Dodd is known as the
Onion Queen" being the largest in
dividual producer of "inguns" in the
United States. Like a great many
other Texans, she believes in the pro-
teetive policy, and this is what she
has to say about it:
81 have always been a democrat,
but a democratic congress was about
to put me out of business by cutting
the tariff on onions from 40 to 20
cents per bushel. This would have
almost destroyed the business of the
Texas growers because of competition
with the Mexican producers. With
the cheap labor on the other side of
the Rio Grande they would have
brought over the Mexican onions and
caused a drop in prices which would
have made planting on the American
side altogether Improbable. The
chaotic conditions that have prevailed
in Mexico have made it impracticable
either to grow or to import produce
from Mexico, and hence we have thus
far had no cause to complain because
Of the cut in the tariff All the same
| want to see that tariff restored, for
as soon as they get peace across the
border we will need all the protection
the old tariff gave US"
Mrs. Dodd has the markings Of a
pretty good republican. A protective
tariff to her means dollars and cents;
to her industry it means dollars and
scents; to Texas generally it means
dollars and sense. A good many Tex
ans appeared before the ways and
means committee when Mr.. Under
wood and his band of tariff pirates
We're engaged in planting mines in the
American industrial system, and ev-
cry one of those Texans was for Il
protective tariff, even though he vot-
ed the democratic ticket Some day
Texas will wipe the scales of prejudice
from her eyes and vote for the party
which will protect the labor and en-
terprise of the Lone Star State, and
when that day comes George Bailey of
the Houston Post will run out of
"preparagraphorisms."

Good and Bad French.

With the practice of making French
speeches to Participating audiences,
no fault can reasonably be found. 1t
is a decided advantage to the COM
munity generally to have English
speaking public men able to speak also
In French. as there are many French
speaking public men who can speak
very well in English, and even take a
keen and effective part in parliament
tary debates. Sir Robert Borden has
learned French sufficiently well to
make speeches in it, and he is none
the worse for the accomplishment.
Speaker Sproute has tried to learn
French well enough to read the
prayers to the house OF commons in
that language as well as in English.

The Heath in this city of John Nc
llhenny brings up the history of gas,
as the death of Cyrus Field made ev-

In gas. He saw It develop from it's
early infancy in America and saw it
push the oil lamp on the table.
He beheld this same agency shove

New Badge.

A new badge OF mourning has been
adopted at New York. Il was first
seen on the arm OF a colored gentle
man. evidently a wealthy Ianitor OF
Pullman porter. Since then It has
been noticed on the arms OF several
women. II is not the conventional
badge-a black band around the
sleeve. This is a great big. black
heart. which is sewed to the upper
part OF the left sleeve. Those who
have observed It declare that tho black
heart is intended to serve two pur-
poses. One. that the wearers mourn
her or his loss. and two, that they are
lonely and would welcome a helpmeet.
Which, at best. is rather 4 sinister ad.

KNOW A MUSHROOM FROM
TOADSTOoL?
Here Are Means of Identification
Which viii Make Use of Fun
gus Safe

Every season there are a few cases
Of mushroom poisoning. In some in
stances the individual is only made
sick, while in other cases the results
are fatal.
1t is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases, i spec
les may be harmless for one indi
vidual may cause serious digestive
disturbances in another. There is,
however, one group Of mushrooms
that is deadly and poisonous. This
is the group OF Amanitas. There are
Il number Of species of Amanita, all
OF which are deadly poisonous and
several OF which occur in Colorado.
The deadly Amanitas have white
gills, ring about the stem just be-
meath the cap, and a cup or scales at
the base Of the stem.
Do not place any reliance in the
many popular and traditional tests
of poisonous or edible qualities. These
tests are entirely worthless. The
discoloration Of silver spoon, sink
ing in water, or brilliant celebration
are no Indications Of either poisonous
or edible qualities. Furthermore the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can
be rendered harmless by boiling in
water and then washing thoroughly in
cold water is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
few edible kinds Of mushrooms.
There are many Of these springing up
in our lawns, door yards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
in using all those mushrooms having
black gills which dissolve with age
into an inky mass. These, Of course,
must be eaten before turning black,
but usually several stages of ripen-
ing will be found in the same clump |
or group OF individuals, so that iden-
ufication can be made. Among these |
black gill species are the Shaggy |
NAME" with a more or less bell-shaped
ereamy-white cap which becomes
shaggy. and the ''inky-cap." growing
in dense clusters. These two are
both common In lawns, gardens, etc,
from spring to autumn and are among
the best Of our edible forms. All of
the puff-balls are edible, and excel
lent II eaten when the flesh is white
and solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which, have perhaps stood long
er than the others it is well to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk to the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three
characters: ~ white gills; ~ a |
ring on the stem just beneath the cap;
and (3) cup or scales at the base of
the stem.-w. W. Robbins, Colorado
