Pete Soto is the man. Pete
killed his son-in-law in Larimer
County. He was drunk at the
lime, and until the day Of the kill
ing was not known to harbor any
enmity towards his relative.
When the case went to trial Pete.
fondly hoping for lenicncy.
promptly pleaded guilty to MUIR
der. In Colorado the jury fixes
the penalty on first degree muir
der. This jury thought that the
killing by Soto was first degree
and, much to the defendants con-
sternation, sentenced him to be
hanged. Soto promptly filed an
appeal in the supreme court. He
still stuck to his admission of
guilt, but objected strcnuously to
the penalty imposed. He asked
the supreme court to commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment.
Attorney General Hubbard in
his brief quite agrees with Soto
on the fact that the man is guilty,
but argues that the evidence hard
ly shows first degree. However,
Hubbard insists that the supreme
court, even though it might wish
to do SO, cannot commute the
sentence. He therefore suggest
that the only way out of the mat
ter, if the court desires to be
lcnient, is to set aside the verdict
and remand the case for new
trial.

The postmasters and the news
paper editors of the rural districts
will be sitting up nights figur-
ing out the different zones and
the various other requirements
contained in the provisions for
mailing newspapers. There will
be some ten or more zones, each
one requiring a different rate of
postage. The rates in the outer
zones will be so great, according
to the law as published, that the
sending of the paper on the pres
cnt rate of subscription will make
it prohibitive. The newspaper
men will be found loyal to the
requirements of Uncle Sam, but
there will be some among the lot
who will wish that Uncle had
placed tax on their surplus
profits instead.

Colorado, through war cam
paign in behalf of her home pro-
ducts, may be the first state to
prevent duplication and cross
hauling in transportation. The
State Council of Defense, under
Governor Julius c. Gunter, has
taken up the matter, and already
comprehensive and workable
plan has been set moving.
There is a shortage of freight
cars the nation over. Also gen
cral transportation facilities seem
inadequate for the tremendous
demands occasioncd by the war.
Many trainmcn and enginemen
have enlisted and their places
have been hard to fill. Colorado,
in the movement of her vast crops
is still feeling the effects of some
of these conditions. And matters
may grow worse before they be-
come better.
The proposition in behalf of
home products was first suggest
cd by H. U. Nudge of the trans
portation committee of the Coun-
Gil of Defense. 1t is a fact that
Colorado raises more apples than
she can use. Yet some of them
are exported. while apples, no
better. and in many cases not so
good. are brought in. Same way
with pinto beans, potatoes and
other farm produce. This haul
ing out and hauling back in is
called the cross-haul. Freight
cars, engines and other railroad
equipment are used nccdlcssly.
The day when stop will BE-
put to this thing all over the IN
tied States is rapidly approaching.
Governor Gunter's Council of De
Tense secs this day approaching.
and being in favor of home pro-
ducts anyway, and of the employ
ment Of Colorado labor all the
way. the council will begin the
crusade for home products. Peo-
pie will be urged to buy home
goods in preference to those that
are brought in-espccially of
those things in which Colorado
cxcels and produces a surplus.
The spectacle Of our pinto beans
being in demand elsewhere while
we demand the Michigan navy
bean will soon pass.
1t is expected that the Manu-
facturers' Association. the Far
mcrs' Union and such other or
CARNATIONS will assist heartily.
thus making Colorado the pioneer
in a movement which must incv-
itably spread over all OF Uncle
Sans domain.

WILL RECEIVE DEGREE.
LeRoy A. Swan Has Been Reconn
 nnended by Faculty of Mass Tech.

As an evidence of its desire to do the most possible under the existing condition of war with Germany, the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has recommended for degrees those seniors who have entered military or naval service or have gone into industries directly connected with the war. The institute itself and has done many other things, but the furnishing of men ready without fur ther training to take up important re- responsibilities is rema rka1oIe, and more than two hundred of the senior class are already installed in these positions.
 In this group is LeRoy A. Swan of Norwich. who has been recommended for the degree B. S. (hacheIor- of sci ence), and this will be conferred on hi mat the coming graduation exercises in June. Mir Swan is already enrolled in the navy as asslstAnt engineer and will be present at the graduation
 The preparedness of the Boston Tech has been remarkable and is based on the fact that war is a great problem similar to many commercial problems. and the purpose of the institute cur riculum is to fit young men to solve business problems.
 As soon as the war was declared. President Maclaurin notified President Wilson that the resources of the insti- tute laboratories and faculty were at of seniors.
 the service of the government in what ever way might prove best. The fac ulty and upper cla ssmen a year and more ago organized an engineering corps, and since that time have been engaged in special studies in fortif1ca- tion. map reading and other supple mentary work leading to usefulness in the 4ield. To this corps the govern : ment sent this year an officer for it's instruction. The student body organ ized a committee to look the war mat ter over, and this committee reported that lower cIassmen had better finish had better not enlist In the ranks but offer themselves in the engineering corps, ordnance department or signal corps. where their special training would make them most useful. This is the basis of the present movement
