fTISTS SEEK PARDON
FOE HARRY ORCHARD.

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 20.-Plans are
under way for presentation to the board
of pardons early in January Of q petit
ton to parole Harry Orchard, sslf-con-
fessed murderer of Governor Frank
steunenberg, who was killed by time
bomb planted at his gate at Caldwell,
Idaho, on the night of December 81.
1905.
Leading members Of the Adventist
Denman, Of Idaho, are behind the
movement to get Orchard out of the
penetentiary. Their plan is to have
him granted permission to leavs tbs
country after few months and to
place him in foreign mission field as
an Advent worker and teacher, espe-
cially to teach trades to the men among
whom he will be placed.
Various men who were associated in
the prosecution of the officers Of the
Western Federation of Miners have
been approached within the past few
weeks in behalf of the parole, for which
the Adventist. soon expect to AJAX.
They are claiming that Harry Orchard
is now a changed man, aud is willing
to take up the missionary work dele
gated to him and to devote the remain
der of his life to doing good among the
porer classes in some foreign lands.
They also feel that his imprisonment OF
twelve years in the penitentiaIy and
his good record there has been sufficient
punishment to pay the penalty of his
crime.
Harry Orchard was sentenced to be
hanged, by Judge Fremont Wood, at
Caldwell, March IS, 1908. Governor
Gooding commuted his sentence to life

GOODBYE, MIDLAND;
SORRY TO SEE YOU GO.

Despite the great need which we all
feel in this country for the Colorado
Midland railway, and the regret with
which we received the news that the
road was to be iunked, we have realized
for some time past that the Colorado
Midland would soon be one Of the
things of Yesterday simply a memory,
and nothing more
The wrecking crew which a few
weeks ago started at the continental
divide and is working westward, pull
ing up rails and ties, is progressing at
the rate of about 5000 feet day, AMI
G. NJ. Keck, who has supervision over
the work, reported to the Post few
days ago that they expected to reacn
Sloss by today and spend Christmas at
that point. This is certainly making
great headway, ana at unaJ rate Bs-
salt, Carbondale and Glenwood will
soon be called upon to say goodbye to
the old friend of yesteryear and aban-
don all hope of traffic over this line
again.
The right-of-way will soon revert 70
the counties through which the road
has passed, and in some cases to the
owners 6f the ranches of which the
right of-way was formerly part. This
will depend largely on the character Of
the title through which the company
obtained the strip of land over which
the track was built
At all events, the people Of this Sec
ton of Colorado who at the beginning
ofthe world war looked with disappoint-
ment and regret upon the cessation Of
activities on the Midland road, will
feel doubly disappointed at the destrue-
ton Of the road bed and the junking
of the physical property. The Colorado
Midland was an experiment and q
dream to start with. and 1t has never
been anything else, SO far as its owners
were concerned, but to the people along
the line who proAted by its activities
it was o friend in need and . friend
indeed, and to them its going VIII mean
disappointment and financial loss.

BLUE SKY laws S'''
MAY Be PASSED
Bills Have Been Prepared for
Protection Of uninform.
ed and Credu|ous
TO PROSECUTE fAkERS

DENVER Dec 22.-Blue Sky legis.
lation, designed to protect "the unin-
formed and credulous investor who does
not possess the business intelligence 20
protect himself" by designating an
agency or office through which he can
make complaint and obtain protection,
will be proposed in the coming legisll-
ture by Senator u. E. G.rard of Boul-
der, with the backing of the Colorado
Metal Mining association, the Inuustri-
al council and bond dealers of Denver
These agencies now are working with
Senator Girard regarding their propos-
ed bill, which likely will be amplitica-
tion of Chapter 81 of the session laws
OF 1y15, aimed at fraudulent and mis-
represented dealings, with additional
provisions by which compliments
against fraudulent stock companies may
obtain prosecution of such organiza
tions under quasi-state direction.
Quoting from an expression of the
association attitude on the blue sky
legislation. NJ. B. Tomblin, secretary of
the Colorado Metal Mining association,
said yesterday:
1.-The object of all honestly conceived
blue sky legislation is principally, if
not wholly, to protect the uninformel
and credulous investor who does not
possess the business intelligence to pro-
tect himself To this extent it is class
legislation.
''It must be recognized that reguln
tions to protect such investor must be
drawn so as not to hamper and restrict
legitimate business and enterprise
Mr.. Tomblin, Senator Girard, George
L. Wolf of Gregg, Whitehead & Com
pany, and others favoring the bill, held
meeting yesterday morning at which
they discussed proposed provisions.
''All of us seem to be agreed that
any blue sky legislation. to be practi-
cal and effective, must embrace these
points, - Mr.. Tomblin said.
1--WE believe that there should be
some agency, such as the public utili-
tics commission or the district attor-
ney, to which any person could take his
complaint.
Prosecution of the individual or or
ganization shown to have violated the
statute on fraud and misrepresentation
should be compulsory on the part of that
agency.
THE main object is to draft bill
which will prevent fraud and misrepre-
sentation
We don't want body established
which would have as it's duties the
examination of all stocks issued and
the passing of judgment upon them as
to their merits.'

The committee broadened the original
project of senate and house leaders in

planned as a comprehensive measure to
shield agriculturists from further price
declines. Representative Young Re-
publican, North Dakota, chairman Of
the agriculture subcommittee, indicated
that the ways and means committee
members would urge its passage before
the Christmas recess.

nounced.
Proposals to include sugar, hogs,
frozen beef vegetable seeds, barley,
flax, butter and potato flour and potato
starch in the list were voted down.
For the most part, according to mem.
bers, the committee voting showed five
opponents to the protectionist measure
and never less than three Representa-
tive Rainey, Democrat, of Illinois, was
understood to have informed the com
mittee he would lead floor fight
against it.
Demands for inclusion of many man.
ufactured products were made by sew
eral committee members, but leaders
said these probably would vote for the
bill.

Anti-saloon League to Fight Ruling.

Antl-Saloon League to Fight Ruling
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-The anti.
saloon league will ask Attorney Gen
eral Palmer to reconsider his ruling that
the use OF cider in the home by its
manufacturers, even after 1t has be-
come intoxicating by fermentation, is
lawful, Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel for the league, announced to-
day. Neither the letter nor the implied
purpose OF the prohibition act justified
such n ruling, Mr.. Wheeler asserted.
Declaring the eighteenth amendment
prohibits the manufacture of intoxicat.
ing liquors for beverage purposes in
the home or elsewhere, Mr.. Wheeler
said Congress, in permitting the manu-
facture of cider and fruit Juices for
home use fixed the alcoholic standard
at one-half of one per cent.
The ruling made encourages and in.
creases the use of intoxicating cider, :,
