TOO MUCH JOHNSON

(From Kremmling News, Oct. 4, 1879
| If Sam Johrscn has made such
satisfactory district attorney as his
F., rarty claims, he should remain in
that office until the end of the term
| for which he was elected In fact.
he has shown TO disposition to re-.
linquish the district attorneyship,
and the voters should respect his evil
dent wish in the matter and refuse
to remove him from it.
To my n ird Sam has not made an
entirely ccmmendable record as
ITuhlic rrcsecutor hut he has made
] a lot of friends who think he has,
and will not quarrel with them on
that contention. | am willing to
adm 1t fer the sake of the argument
that he has done as we'll as, or even
better tian the average lawyer in
his present office. Admitting this,
believe lie should re kept in the
Place to which lie was elected by the
reople until the sovereign voters
shall have had an opportunity to
name his successor. In fact, L. be-
lieve that if Mr.. johnson wanted
to be fair with the voters who have
the legal right under the law of
Colorado to determine who shall be
district attorney, he would not seek
another office while holding the one
to which he was elected.
II he is elected district Judge, he
must resign as district attorney and
a successor must be chosen. BY re-
fusing to resign in time to have his
successor selected ty the people at
tie regular elction, he deprives the
peorle Of the right the law gives
them Of choosing a public. prosecu-
tor. In other words, he assumes the
right to setsaside the law II It is to
his personal or political advantage
to do so. The spirit shown in such
an assumption is dangerous in any
person and doubly dangerous on the
bench. 1t is the sririt Of autocracy
and does not become the democracy
we are fighting to establish in the
world. The intelligent voter will
keep this fact in mind when he
marks his ballot on November s.

cording to paper read before the
American ElectrOchemical society con-
venti0n by William d. Marshall, q del

During the first year of the war;"
Mr.. Marshal said, reports from
abroad frequently reached this side
to the effect that chlorine was used
in the form of gas attacks, releasing
1t from cylinders. or containers,
against the position of the enemy. My
own experience with chlorine, as well
as what I have heard from others on
the subject. leads me to believe that 1t
alone could never have caused such
agony and internal injuries as were de-
scribed, because in my practice have
never seen nor heard Of anybody per-
manently injured by lnhaling chlorine,
although the temporary Inconvenience
and pain caused by 1t seemed at times
rather serious"
Rather than perform a deadly mis-
sion Mr.. Marshall said that chlorine
had lent itself for war purposes in
sanitation, sterilization Of wounds, etc.

POPE PLAYS JOKE ON ARTIST
Quotes Bible Verse to Verify Genuine
ness Of Portrait of Himself Execut-
ed by an American Painter.

Pope Benedict Is known to have q
seen sense of humor. II has lately
been expended upon an American resi-
dent In Rome who thinks himself a
portrait painter, says Rome CORE
spondent.
This gentleman, with the best inten-
lions, asked the pope for permission
to paint his portrait, which would
later grace the walls of the Vatican,
alongside of the masterpieces of the
universe.
The pope granted the request, but
stipulated that he should give only
one sitting, and that the portrait
should be finished by help Of photo
graphs.
The portrait was finished recently.
The artist found 1t so good that he
longed to have it shown first In Amer
lea, lest his fellow citizens should re-
proach him for hiding such a work Of
art In Italy, without giving them a
chance of admiring his genius. To this
the pope graciously agreed. But the
artist went further.
AS there are so many spurious por-
traits of the pope, would his holiness
write few lines to prove to skeptical
Americans that the artist had really
painted the masterpiece The pope
promised few words In few days.
They arrived. To the painters aston
ishment-and chagrin-they proved to
be from the Gospel of st. Matthew,
chapter 14:27. They ran: 1T is l; be
not afraid"

WOMEN FOOD SLEUTHS.
Uncle Sam Has Now Scheme to Keep
Finger on Country's Pulse.

Uncle Sam Has Now Scheme to Keep
Finger or Country's Pulse.
New York--Uncle Sam has a brand
new scheme to keep his finger on the
pulse OF the food markets throughout
the country and to put his project into
effect he has made an appeal for aid to
patriotic women in every city and town
Of over 5000 inhabitants.
Recently the Office of the controller
Of the currency announced that letter
had been sent to the presidents of GER
tain national banks which reads, In
part, as follows:
Herbert C. Hoover, food administra-
tor, in the public interest is DESTROYS of
securing from responsible and confiden-
tial sources weekly reports as to the re-
tail prices paid by consumers for food
in towns and cities throughout the
country.
"He desires to find correspondents In
each place who viii take the trouble to
inform themselves at the end of each
week as to the prices which are being
charged by the retail grocers and food
dealers for thirty of the principal arti-
cles of food and has therefore request
ed the controller Of the currency to CO
operate with him in this direction to
the extent OF asking the national banks
throughout the country to recommend
to the food administrator some person
or persons who will agree to gather and
to forward to the food administrator In
Washington the figures and informa-
ton desired.
ut has been suggested that perhaps
intelligent and patriotic women can be
found In each town and city who win
be willing to give their services for this
purpose"
