GOOD Roads Convention

Good Roads Convention
The 7th annual convention Of the
Colorado Good Roads Association, to
be held in Denver at the Albany Hotel,
begins Monday, the 22nd. Low rates
on all railroads from all points in the
State have been granted, tickets being
on sale January 10th.
This convention is one in which every
community should be interested. Among
the measures proposed is one, which
will allow the people at the general
election to vote upon the question Of
issuing bonds for Good Roads. Another
proposed bill would change the method
Of issuing automobile licenses, in that
these should be issued according to the
weight of car, rather than according to
horse power.
In addition, there are some changes
proposed in the present highway con-
ditions. The chief OF these is in rela-
ton to repairing and maintenance Of
roads. The program for the convention
will be outlined at an executive com
mittee meeting which will be held Sat
urday Of this week.
The opening address will be delivered
by Governor Gunter who, it is expected
will set forth at that time his views re-
garding good roads in this state.

SHIPS WON'T CARRY
COTTON SEED CAKE

Savannah, July 6.-After lying in
port here three months laden with
cotton seed cake, consigned to firms
in Sweden, FIVE Swedish steamers
have commenced to discharge with
the intention of reloading with other
cargoes. The five ships were tied up
in Savannah with their cargoes under
the refusal of Great Britain to pass
cake consigned to the Scandinavian
countries, from which it was reship-
ped to Germany, which was making
explosives from its derivatives.
Norway and Denmark gave assur-
ances to the British Government that
no more cake would reach Germany
through them. and several ships be-
longing to those countries were per-
mitted to depart after the orders had
been issued

Japanese Dinners.


In the matter of eating it Is agreed
that the Japanese cuisine is not of the
richest in nutritive quality. 1t is not
inexpensive; japanese dinners are elab
crate in preparation, artistic in pre-
sentation, but for satisfying the inner
man are far inferior to European or
even Chinese cooking. The chief char
acteristic of a purely Japanese dinner
is to please the eye, not the palate OF
stomach. 1t is a national joke that one
must eat meal before going to Oh
after returning from a japanese din.
ner
Oh, how much labor and expense are
lavished ON gochiso ENTERTAINMENT
to make 1t nice to look at! This is all
sheer waste and luxury and is to be
condemned. Providence has kindly put
in the power of every Japanese to live
In the most economical manner, so the
Japanese dinner is a blasphemous
abuse Of providential beneticence. 1t is
an anachronistic relic of feudalism
reminiscent of the morbid tastes of
idle, luxurious overlords! A monstrous
fact is that these customs are not go
ing out of fashion.-Saito Man in Japan

MiIiukoH o. Rv..;..

Professor Paul Miliukof was widely
known in Russia as a historian before
the uprising In 1905. During that rev.
olution he sprang into prominence as
the founder Of the Constitutional Dem
ocratic party, which numbered in its
ranks some Of the noblest and finest
men in Russia. Before that time Pro
fessor Miliukoff had lived In America,
where he lectured at Harvard and at
the University of Chicago. He studied
American life and familiarized himself
with American institutions and the
American form Of government. Dur
ing the revolution Of 1905 Count White,
then premier Of Russia, offered him q
portfolio In the cabinet. Professor
Miliukofr declined it because Count
Wltte would not outline to him the
new program Of the government. Pro
fesSor Miliukoff insisted upon def
mite policy Of reconstruction and re-
form before he would accept the post.
