OUR WAR MONEY NOT WASTED.

All of the money being expended
for war purposes is not going to be a
waste. Some of it is going to be
shot away; some of it is going to be
sunk at sea; some of it is going to be
invested in machinery that will be
useless in time of peace. But very
great portion of it is being spent for
things that will be as valuable when
peace comes as now, tho not so i'm
peratively needed then-ships for in
stance. And as for the immense
amount spent in adapting our manu-
featuring plants to war purposes, 1t
is estimated that 80 per cent of our
war machinery can and will be used
for other manufacturing work after
the war. The invisible and intangible
forces, the moral forces of the world,
the soul and conscience of mankind
are fighting on our side.

RADIO, and his dependents were entitled
to claim compensation benefits there
under.
The opinion goes into the details
of the case at some length, covering
eighteen typewriter pages, citing the
rulings of courts in other cases and
states 1t establishes that a man en-
ployed in Colorado who may be nj
jured or killed in another state where
firm may be conducting business, is
entitled to compensation. Further,
the decision brushes aside many of
the technicalities against payment of
compensation which are being con-
stantly injected by private insurance
companies carrying risks for en-
ployes.
Spirit of the Law.
In concluding the opinion in favor
of Mrs. Lynch, the supreme court de-
cision makes this illuminating state
ment:
an the case at bar if we are to
determine, in the absence of any pro-
vision of the statute to the contrary,
that the doctrine of lex loci contractus
does not govern, it will be to destroy
the very spirit and purpose of the law
as it effects the employer, the en-
ploye and the public welfare.
of we assume that there are no
| workmen's compensation laws in the
states where the deceased was to per-
form his services outside of Colorado,
then there can be no recovery Of com
| pensation, Notwithstanding all pre-
miums sufficient to maintain the work
ers' accident insurance, had been fully
paid. On the other hand, if we are
to assume that workman's compen-
sation law prevails in each of the
seven states of Colorado, Wyoming,
Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico, then the employer must
be compelled to comply with each
statute and to pay the premiums re-
auired by the law of each state for
| the protection of the one employe, OF
approximately seven times the amount
otherwise required.
Entitled to Compensation.
"If this were legally permissible
the expense would make it prohibitive
| The result in this case must be, that
| the employer has paid the full pre-
MUM demanded by the state, to IN
sure his employe against accident; the
employe has relied on the pledge OF
his state for the protection of himself

war of the past or in the present war.
Unless this is done the old G. A. R.
will soon cease to exist, for it's ranks
are thinning rapidly. j. B. McPher-
son Post, G. A. R., of Kalispell has
adopted resolutions to perpetuate the
Grand Army by this method and is
asking that other posts take similar
ems says: at is a startling fact that
during the month of March just past
more Civil war soldiers died than were
killed in the great battle of Gettys-
burg, and that there are now fewer
than 10000 members of the G. A. r.
left living in the United States. No
doubt many of your readers have been
soldiers in past wars or are in the
service now, and this movement should
be of interest to them"
AT THE SUGGESTION OF MAY
or Speer an ordinance is being pre-
pared by City Attorney Marsh to
force slackers in Denver to work at
some useful occupation. Perhaps the
mayor has been reading the society
columns of the daily papers or visit
ing the pool rooms. Then again he
may have an eye single to Herb
George, professional moocher and in
dustrial disturber. Some of our
friends fear that the idea grew out
of the strike of teamsters and metal
craftsmen, many of whom are idle
because employers refuse to deal
squarely and honestly with them. This,
however, is a farfetched conclusion,
and we do not believe the ordinance is
intended to prevent workers striking
when all means to secure industrial
justice have been exhausted. The or
dinance will be introduced at next
Monday nights meeting of the city
council. Women are to be included,
because, as the mayor says, they can
do something more useful than play
bridge whist and high five during
these days when war and work are
synonymous terms.

MAJOR JOHN A. MARTIN OF
Pueblo has resigned his commission
in the army on account of i'll health,
and will return from Camp Kearny in
a few days. Members of organized
labor and business men of Pueblo are
arranging to give the major hearty
homecoming. Major Martin was
largely instrumental in forming the
second Colorado regiment of volun-
teers shortly after the United States
declared war on Germany, and it is
to be regretted that his physical
breakdown prevents him going to
France with his soldier boys. Major
Martin is former congressman of
the Third Colorado district, and his
name has been prominently mentioned
as a candidate for governor. 1t is
doubtful, however, if he will consent
to make the race, even should his
health permit.
TOM lyman, WARDEN OF THE
state penitentiary, this week an
nounced his candidacy for governor
in the forthcoming Democratic pri-
maries. Tynan's home is in Pueblo,
and that gives him a geographical ad-
vantage to start with. Judge Harry
S. Glass of Brighton is the only other
announced candidate for governor in
the Democratic primaries. 1t is be
lieved Governor julius C. Gunter will
stand as a candidate for reelection,
as many of his supporters insist there
should be no change of administra-
ton during the period of the war. So
far the Republicans are indulging in
day dreams and no candidates have
showed visible indication of de-
string to make the race.

TOO MUCH FUSS"
OVER HUN FUNERAL

London.-by mail)-Baron Rich
thoIen's military funeral behind tn.
British lines and the tribute which
British airmen accorded their dead
nemesis hay aroused some resentment,
in England.
Although Richthofen Is regarded as
having been a gallant enemy and ,
courageous fighter, this disinclination
to honor the enemy, even in deaIh. is
more emphatic in his cas- than it has
been in the cases OF other lust be
cause Richtl1ofen's career and death
were unusually Spectacular. His flu
neral thus attracted more attention
than the usual burial OF a fallen
enemy airlnan and the consequent OBJ
lection is in proportion.
IF the Germans were gallant adj
%vorsarles and gentlemen we wouldn't
be lighting them says one critic. We
would be able to come to terms with
Them. A gallant adversary would not
Try to stab us in the back. and a gen
tleman would keep his agreements.
The Germans are gallant adver-
saries. F~rightfulness is their weapoa
Lying is the inspiration of their di-
plomacy. We are fighting them because
they are not gentlemen.
Are we to waste our tears on The
individuals who perish in trying TO
bring about the triumph of hate?"
III iNchtholenS successor is brought
down he probably will nave the same
honors that the dead German ace has
received. ecaus the soldier in the
field is the man who accords the honors
while the critic at home merely makes
suggestions. 1t has happened before.

brought ashore after a fight with some

honors that the men who had fought
him chose to accord TO him.

WAR CAUSES EATING OF
MANY COARSE FISH

Washington, u. Cone OF the most
curious anomalies of the present war.
which has peer called the greatest de-
Stroycr in the worlds history, has been
the addition of many thousands of dol
lars to the national wealth of the Unit
ed States through the utilization of fish
foods which were thrown away as
worthless until necessity demanded
their conservation. Fishing commune
ties on the Atlantic, gulf and Pacific
coasts and even on the interior lakes
have found their incomes augmented
materially by the public readiness to
eat fish. which formerly was regarded
with prejudice through ignorance of the
foods tastiness and n~utriinent.
The radical change which has been
wrought by the war in the fishing in
dustry is reflected in the fisheries serv-
fisheries of the department of COM
merce. Instead of being confined solely
10 items concerning salmon, shad. cod.
and other fishes which have had a
ready sale. the bulletin devotes much
space also to news concerning the catch
of pole founders. sharks. rays. skates,
carp. grayfish. which formerly rejoiced
in the uninviting name of dOg1ish, and
other types of water food. Regarding
the pole founder, or gray sole, the bull
letin records that it was virtually UNI
known as food prior to the fall of 1916.
As n result of the bureaus food con-
servation campaign. which taught the
value Of the founder and attractive
ways to p il. dcmand for the fish
increased until last season there were
35 boats taking founders to the New
England markets.. and probably 2,000,-
600 pounds ave been marketed. Carp
-abounds in interior lakes. An agent OF
the bureau was sent to st. Louis. Kan
sas City, Omaha. Minneapolis, St. Paul,
milwaukee,. Chicago, and indianapolis
to stimulate the use OF fish. A bulletin
containing recipes for cooking carp was
prepared. State commissions of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Indiana re
operated in the work. The result was a
greatly increased demand for arp
which continued to grow in favor as the
public became acquainted with its val
ue. More than.1 100000 pounds of carp
We're sold from Minnesota lakes, and
in Milwaukee the weekly consumption
retlclled 81, 900 pounds.
On the Pacific coast there is n grow
ing demand for sharks, rays and
whales. Sharks sell for 10 to 12c a
pound. 1t Is said to he especially de-
lic!ous when sailed or smoked MI
merous canneries ave undertaken to
preserve the meat.
