actual work of the session. The
counting of the ballots at the last
election has been completed; the new
officers have been sworn in; all of
the bills have been introduced; the
appropriation bill, which provides
for the pay of the members, has been
passed and there is nothing in the

serious consideration of proposed
legislation.
Both Speaker Davis and Lieutenant

various committees have promised
that this will be done.
Senator William II. Adams, the
grandfather of the flock, announces
that he wants to get thru and go
home early and his wishes usually
carry considerable weight. One thing
is sure; nothing will be done that he
does not want done, as he knows the
work better than all the others in
both houses combined.
When the Senate met this morning
1t found that its calendar did not
contain any bills of particular import
ance. II Immediately adjourned, and
its committees went to work. There

Special To The Chieftain.
Denver, Jan. 24.-Legislativc talk
today centered around Senator
O'Briens Blue Sunday bill. This,
from the fact that the ministers of
Denver devoted their morning SER
mons to it. The bill repeals the pres
ent law preventing amusements from
running on Sunday and enactS a new
law with the local option feature.
The qualified voters of each and
every town may determine by ballot
whether or not they will have Sunday
amusements. The ministers yester-
day took the position that sunday
amusements are only held in Denver,
Pueblo and perhaps one or two other
towns; that in most of the towns OF
the state, neither the theaters nor
the motion pictures operate. They
take the position that the law should
be enforced in Denver, Pueblo and
the few other places, the same
as it is in. the rest of the state and
the fact that "A law is violated in Den
yer is no reason why 1t should be re-
pealed. They cite the fact that all
theatsrs, motion picture houses and
places of amusement are closed all
day Sunday in New York and other
large eastern cities. The Denver
ministers claim that If the people Of
New York can do without sunday
amusements. certainly the people of
Denver can do the same.
Senator o'Brien. who introduced the
bill, takes the position that the peo-
ple of each town should be allowed
to determine what they want in the
nature of amusements, and that the
local option feature is the best way
of determining that question. At any
ratio the subject will without doubt.
