NoNPARTISAN CONSIDERATION
OF JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

1t has become a more or less popu-
lar fallacy-at all events, something
OF custom, in every presidential
year, as well as every general state
election-for the average voter TO fix
his attention upon one or two officials
only. 1t is natural for one in his par
tisanship to work for. preach for, and

Under the constitution OF the United
States, and of the states generally, the
rights primarily safeguarded are those
of life, liberty and property. What

There are four candidates for these

thing else, is adding to the force Of his
canvass.
For many days he was with Cover

did much. by his very presence, to
add to the crowds at the meetings.
The fact that he is a Son of Colorado,
running for high office in state to
which his parents came as pioneers,
has caused Colorado societies to rally
to his support AS a speaker he ranks
well up with the others, and always
vigorously notifies the people that he

CARLSON DECLARES STATE

DEVELOPMENT OF PATRI-
OTTO CITIZENSHIP.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 2.-Governor
George A. Carlson. in urging the
voters to support the straight Repub.
lican ticket, has made several strong
appeals for the election OF Mrs. Helen
NJ Wilson, candidate for State Super
intendent OF Public instruction.
One OF the most effective appeals
by the Governor in Mrs. Wilson's be
half came in a recent speech at Victor
when he said.
The public school system Of this
state is urgently in need of specific
type Of leadership. It makes little
difference how good our Universities
and Colleges may be II we are only
top heavy and have no sufficient basic
foundation.
Mrs Helen Nj. Wilson. when State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
carried out an important and practi-
cal program. Her system has since
been followed.
She now presents another definite
practical program to Colorado people
She proposes to train hand and mind
OF boy and girl who are unable to GO
further than the sth grade in practical
mechanics, agriculture and domestic
science. that they may be self-sustain-
ing individuals.
She is now preparing to re-vitalize
the great subject OF citizenship. She
proposes to make this course concrete
rather than abstract. She proposes
to develop the dry uninteresting
course in civics into a regular course
in citizenship that will actually take
hold Of the heart and mind OF growing

reelection. He has not only grown

establishing the laws OF this state.
He. more than any other man on the
bench in this state today, has been re-
sponsible both for the creation and
wise application of our irrigation laws
to say nothing of his large contribu.
ton to general Jurisprudence. There
is not single reason why any man
should be preferred over him, and
there is every reason why the people
should be gratified at the opportunity
of further availing themselves OF
Judge Gabbert's learning. integrity
and wide experience
Judge George w Allen has for
twenty-one years occupied the district
bench of Denver Practically every
variety OF question that can arise has
been presented to him for determine

tice, he is undoubtedly one OF the
most learned lawyers in the state
His close and long contact with the
people as a trial judge has impaired

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation Of Seeming Phs-

Why Wheel, 40 it Rsvolves, Seems .
Rotate ILLUSION That
Has Puzzled Many ls Really
q Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies" has probably noticed when
there is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of wheel
having spokes, such as those on bug
gy or an automobile, that as the wheel
first starts to rotate it appears to re-
volve in unison with the rest Of the
picture, but as it gains speed It sud-
denly appears to rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then it slowly stops
turning, although the vehicle gains in
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
slowly, but not with the speed Of the
rest of the vehicle. The film manu-
facturers have not been able to elimi-
nate this unfortunate illusion. Many
explanations have been heard, but
they seldom approach the right one.
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for a small fraction Of 4
second. A moving object seen on the
screen in reality is series of pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rctina of the eye still has the vision Of
one projection when the next appears
Thus the picture appears to move. In
the case Of revolving wheel the eye
follows the spokes. To make the e1s

It is the resistance of metal conduc
