probably will be followed by counter

mistic of the Gcrban delegation do not
believe tho allies will accept.
in such event. the reparauons con-

will be enforced.

ondeavor to prove Mr.. bloyd-George's
eratcmcnt respecting German taxation

to suggest a means whereby Germany
can meet their economic demands. He
will point out that while tho German
income tax is small. German incomes
are proportionately small.
The amount the Germans assert has
been paid on account of roparations

1t Is a question, however, whether
tho conference will listen to euch areu-

II was not merely, nor even primar-

family by consultation with tho best
minds of the country"
i Also much of the comment on the
new cabinet is prcjudiced by tho fact
that it comes from persons who had
set their hearts on the inclusion of
two men General Wood and Elihu
Root-who were omitted. Another con-
Siderable number had set their minds
against one man who was taken in
Harry Daurhcrty. a judgment that
makes too much of tho omission or in
viously not well rounded. The fact Ia
that several unprcjudiced persons who
have a careful comparison of Mr..
HardinE's cabinet man for man. with
every other cabinet within the present
Generation. have come to the Judgment
that Mr.. Hardins's cabinct is. on the
3~hoie. decidedly stronger than any OF
the others.

the most dificuit precedents to mea-

OF LEGISLATIVE WEEK
ECOVERNOR SHOUP'S MESSAGE

Tho rcapportionment bill 'as agreed
on by tho joint committees of the
house and senate, really makes very
fow changes. The most important one
ia that it takes FL Paso county out Of
tho second congressional district and
puts II in the third. This makes El
Paso, Pueblo the San Luis valley and
Southeastern Colorado all in one dis
trict. 1t probably guarantees the dis
trict to bo Republican. but in guaran-
tecing It to be Republican, they take
chance OF losing tho second district
to the Democrats in some succeeding
election
Tho bill takes Gilpin. jefferson and
Clear Creek out OF the third district
and puts them in tho second. Jeffer-
Clear Creek usually go Democratic.
II takes Park out OF the second and
puts it in the fourth.
In the legislative reappcrtionment
tho northeastern part of the state gets
two senators. while the southwestern
and central parts lose two. Weld coun-
ty gets another senator and Washing
ton and Yuma combined get another
ono. The San Juan district loses one
and the Salida district loses one. East
of the mountains there VIII be one SEN
ator for each twenty-eight thousand
people outside the city Of Denver. In
the mountains and on tho western
slope there will be one senator Tor each
eighteen thousand people. East of the
mountains there will bo ono reprcsen-
tativo for each fifteen thousand peo-
plo outside the city of Denver and one
representative for each ten thousand
people in tho mountains and on the

to wish that Root had been the choice
have at least reasonable ground for
their position. While the superiority
of Roots experience is undeniable, 1t
is also true that the number who re-

quantity of public knowledge OF

courtesy Of cigarettes In an ivory box.

Hadn't you better 60 home to

The little beast did not think so.
He stared at the white man. his beady
bright eyes seeming to express mute
warning, with centuries of regret.
When the gray boy had taken away
the dishes, Con stretched and renewed
the process Of wondering. His nor
NAL powers Of thought, that had been
snatched away In surprise and fatigue,
had returned. He wanted to talk to
himself, to quicken his own American
Identity. He smiled to think Of him

But the desert city. the palace maze,
