be repealed by any subdivison
except by a two-thirds majority
of the votes cast by the freehold-
ers of such county at an election
held in accordance with the pro-
visions of this act.
From the fact that the citizens
of said counties desire an oppor-
tunity to vote on the question as
to whether stock should be per-
mitted to run at large, at an ear-
ly date, creates an emergency
and an imperative public necessr
ty that the constitutional rule
requiring bills to be read on three
several days be suspended and
that this act' take effect and be
in force from and after its pas-
sage, and it is so enacted.
and even the Christian Sabbath

petuated.
Every American should stand
with the party that believes in
freedom of speech, in an honest
vote, in human liberty and in
universal justice. A party that
is manipulated by tyrants, graft-
ers and place hunters is danger-
ous and unsafe, and should be
abolished.
Think of the conditions exist-
ing in the state of Colorado today
—political grafters, place hunt-
ers and thugs going beyond. all
law and beyond all precedents to
thwart and annul the will of the
people of the state! Regardless
of political affiliations, the people
have remained quiet and submis-
sive to the outrages of the past,
believing • they would obtain re-
dress at the ballot box. When
these legal means fail forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue and
serious trouble will likely be the
result. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. Legalized rob-
bery is more dangerous than
highway robbery. Why? Be-

SOME STOCKMEN BOLDLY
DECLARE NEW ORGAN-
IZATION SHOULD
CONTAIN NONE
BUT STOCK
MEN.
Fort Worth, Tex. Feb. 4—The
call for the newly formed Ameri-
can Stock Growers’ Association,
which was the outcome of the
last big convention, held in Den-
ver a few weeks ago, will soon be
made. It is known that the time
of meeting has already been fix-
ed for May 3, and Secretary A.
E. de Ricqles of Denver writes
that he has received such an im-
mense mail from all' sections of
the country containing applica-
tions for membership and ten-
dering offers of financial assist-
ance as to indicate that the at-
tendance upon the date of organ-
ization is going to be just simply
immense. This correspondence,
he says, is coming from all sec-
tions of the country. Universal
interest has been aroused in the
movement and the secretary says
that in all his experience with
live stock organizations he has
never before seen anything like
it, which indicates, he thinks,
that the new organization is des-
tined to fill a long-felt .want.
The row which culminated at
Denver has been in process of
incubation for several years, and
now that the die has been cast
and the stockmen have estab-
lished the nucleus for a great
National organization of their
own, the preponderance of senti-
ment is that they should proceed
with the organization and the
work in hand, entirely independ-
ent of any entangling influences.
In fact, some of the leading cat-
tlemen of the country are coming
out boldly with the assertion that
the new organization does not
within itself go far enough.
That the demand of the hour is
for a great National cattleman’s
association on an exclusive basis,
and that all other interests should
be eschewed. It is certain that
this idea will be advanced at the
May meeting and strongly press-
ed.
The cattlemen of the country
feel that they have too much at
stake in the present situation to
make any further sacrifices.
They have already instituted
fight against many of the evils of
which complaint has been made,
and they feel that any hesitation
at this time would be construed
as weakening, when the inten-
tion is to press the fighting all
along the line in the most ag-
gressive and determined manner.

Washington—It can be said by
authority that unless the corpor-

junction made permanent by the
decision of the supreme court of
the United States yesterday, the
government will institute pro-
ceedings against the individual
members of the corporations to
enforce the decision of the court.
The proceedings will be under
the criminal law if such can be
instituted. The minds of the
president and members of his
cabinet are made up fully on the
question. They have determine*:
that the “beef trust,” shall obey
the law, and now that the high-
est court in the land has uphelt

CAREER OF MOUNT STE-
PHENS OF CANADA
READS LIKE CHAP-
TER FROM RO-
MANCE
London, Jan. 28.—The roman-
ces of real life are far more in-
teresting than the most thrilling
fiction. In 1829 the little son of
a carpenter in the small Scottish
village of Dufftown was educa-
ted in the village school, and in
his spare time was employed ta
herd cattle on his minister’s farm
in the glen.
Filled with desire to see the
, world, he persuaded his father
to allow him to serve as an ap-
prentice in the drapery trade in
Aberdeen, and from thence he
went to Glasgow and to London.
George Stephens obtained here
a post in a large warehouse,
which did a big trade with the
colonies. One day a customer
came into the warehouse and
gave him an order, and as he sign-
ed it he noticed that the youth’s
name was the same as his own,
and after a little conversation
discoverered that he was his cous-
in. He proposed to take him
into partnership, and they start-
ed for Montreal in 1850.
From that moment the young
man’s success was unbroken.
He became a director of the bank
of Montreal, then vice president
of the St. Paul and Manitoba
railway, and head of the Cana-
dian Pacific line, and by and by
the railway which is one of the
most famous in the world recog-
nized as the result of his intelli-
gence and industry.
The two men who set out to-
gether and worked partnership
as merchants in Montreal, have
both been made peers of the
realm. The youpg Scotchman
rded cattle was
raised to the peerage under the
name of Lord Mount Ste-
phens, and his cousin was
created Lord Strathcona. The
news was recently made officially
that this great colonial peer has
sent $1,000,000 on New Year’s
day to the Prince of Wales, as
president of the King’s Hospital
fund.
“For many years,” he wrote,
on sending this splendid gift, “I
have taken a great interest in ail
that concerns the sick poor, and
i have regarded the King’s fund
as an ideal organization for thfe
distribution of the gifts and sub-
scriptions of all those who have
no personal interest in any par-
ticular hospital or convalescent
home.”
Lord Mount Stephen has never
forgotten any benefit he received
in earlier and less prosperous
days, and there is something sin-
