ABOUT TOURISTS

More road tourists are coming this wayI
 The first ''croD" of auto travellers been forwarded to secretary of the (iocal commer- cial organization blythe Nation al Park-to-Park Highway As- sociation. The list received con- tains the names of fifty persons who have written to the execu- tive office in Denver for guide and other road information.
 There is the assurance that many other lists will follow this one. as an evidence of the as- sociation's policy actually to di- rect greater volume of tourist business thru this community.
 One thousand inquiries have been received within sixty days by the association. which has sent each inquirvs a road guide leaflet mentioning this and other towns on the highway. Mileage between places is given in a simple and unusual manner.
 Whether the tourist will finger little longer" than he anticipated depends on how ef- fectiYely the side trips and points of general interest are brought to his attention beforehand.
 Gus Holm's. secretary-mansg- CT of the association, in prepar- ing the inquiry lists also urges each town to mail it's own litera- ture. thereby interesting the prospective road traYeler and his family to stay awhile in ctn- that make the most sin cere appeal for their temporary residence.
 The inquiries come from virt- ually all parts of the East. South and Middle West, and the local commercial or ganization is asked to send it's available literature, or otherwise communicate with the prospective travellers.

AN EXEMPLAR OF
 LAW AND ORDER

WdSnlngCOn, May, 3. On
 May 5th occurred the centen- nary of the death of Napo-
 leon, the idol of France, D
 "The occasion is one for the review of the life and ac- complishments of the great man to see if we cannot draw from his career lessons for present day application. The world is prone to think of Napoleon solely as a mighty military man, paying little attention to his civil record as Emperor of France. It is true that he was one of the greatest generals who ever lived. As Marbot tells us, the soldier who understands Napoleon's strategy h a S nothing more to learn. But there is another side to the character of the French lead CT that is worthy of study in these abnormal times.
 "To begin with, Napoleon was not a native Frenchmap. He was born in the island of Corsica, a French possession, it is true, but the life and thought of whose people had little in common with the French. When the young man landed in France and entered a military school at the age of ten he was, to all intents and purposes, an inn migrant. His ultimate rise from that humble station to the dictatorship of France should be an inspiration to every emigrant to a foreign land. The Presidency of the United States is limited by the Constitution to native born Americans, but there is no other office or social in the whole land that is not available to every new conner to our shores. The immigrant is limited only by his own will, ability, and good behavior.
 "At the age 23 Napoleon was brought lace to lace with mob rule. He was in Paris on that Hateful 20th of June, 1792, when the rabble invaded the Tuileries, and was a close observer of the events that followed, ending in the guillotining of the royal family and many of the French aristocracy. For ten years thereafter he was oc- cupied with military duties, but whc'l he was proclaimed Consul in 1902 the impres- sions that had been made upon his mind by the hor- TOTS of the Revolution found expression, and he devoted himself to setting up a gov ernment based on law and order. He established an education system, the Bank of France, the Legion of Honor, and the Nopoleonic Code of laws which is the guide of French law today and has had a profound in- fluence on justice through out the world. It would be very difficult to disprove the statement declares on e writer, that the superb in- heritance of order. progress, and nroSnertV which Nano.
