But this is not all. The PHILIPPINES

But this is not all. The Philippines
have caused our government to suspend
the constitution in the presence of our
flag. They have made us repudiate and
trample upon the princi. les Of the De.
claration Of Independence. They have
led US to re-enact the odious alien and
sedition laws. Compared with these
insidious, demoralizing and deplorable
results, affecting the very essence OF
democracy and contraveniny the genius
Of our institution, the mere money loss
Of $3.50 600, 900 is as nothing. What the
Philippines have done to us is TO in
noculate our republican system with
the virus Of military colonialism In it's
most despotic and destructive FORM.

The stockmen in Lincoln, Elbert.
Cheyenne and Kit Carson counties are
confronted by situation which will put
to test their sincerity as to utterances in
the past two years regarding the state
Legislature Through the local and
state associations for some time past
stockmen have been declaring that they
would support no member of the Legis-
lature who was not friendly to their in
terests. In the district named the Dem
ocrats have named Denver lawyer to
represent them in the Legislature, man
who knows nothing Of the stock in
dustry and probably cares less. The
Republicans have named stockman
who lives in the district and who is a
member of the Lincoln County Cattle
Growers Association. There can be no
question as to the duty of stockmen of
this district under the circumstances.
If they would be consistent they must
vote for their own interests, and sup
port the local man, who is a stock
man, regardless of his political party.
The stockmen will ask the next Legis-
lature for some important legislation and
it is important that members friendly to
the stock industry be elected Denver

WHAT THE REAL AUsTRALAsIAN
TAX Is.

The Australasian tax is not a local tax,
but federal tax instituted by the ma
tional government and amounts to only
6.07 per cent, OF the total revenue in
New Zealand. The rate of taxation is
equal to a levy Of 4 l-6 mills upon each
dollar of valuation. Holdings of only
s2,500 in value are exempt. Mortgaged
property is exempt Mortgages are tax
ed in the hands Of the lenders. As a
result of these exemptions, of 10000
land owners in New Zealand, only 1000
pay taxes on their lands for the support
of the general government.
What difference in Colorado, The
land owner here enjoys at present no
exemptions or privileges, but in all cases
contributes his share toward the sup
port of government. Yet the Bucklin-
ties have the audacity to call their
revolutionary measure the Australasian
tax amendment.

Mr.. oeorre smlth !shoo,. rer.eIi.

Mrs. George Smith, living ten miles
west OF Elbert, in Douglas county, made
an unsuccessful attempt to kill herself
Sunday afternoon by shooting herself
with a 32-calibre revolver. The bullet
entered just above the heart, struck a
rib and glanced around the body, lodg-
ing under the left shoulder blade. DIR.
Denncy, who was called to attend the in
jured woman, located the bullet and cut
it out. He also removed several splint-
ers from the rib struck by the bullet.
Mrs. Smith was alone in potato cellar
near the house when she did the shoot
ing. 1t is thought that the injured
woman will recover il blood poisoning

act is not known, but family difficulties
are supposed to be responsible for the
deed Mrs Smith is the mother OF eight
children.

The county commissioners will submit
the county high school proposition to
the voters to be decided on November 4.
This proposition should carry two to one
and we believe it will. Its success will
mean much to Ebert county and the

to each taxpayer. Vote for the high
school proposition and see that your

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The wheat market
after opening firmer on the cold wave
and light receipts at the Northwest later
became weak, and prices sharply broke
in sympathy with the decline in oats but
on the break there was liberal covering
by shorts. which caused the market to
rally and the close was steadier, 3sc
lower than Saturday.
Foreign markets were naturally lower
in sympathy with our break of Saturday.
Liverpool reported their market Id.
lower for the day. Continental markets
were also lower. Cash demand was
rather quiet here, but the seaboard re-
ported a fair business done there for ex-
port on the break.
The corn market generally followed the
course OF wheat. After opening firm later
sharply broke on selling by longs owing
to the weakness in oats. but good buying
on the decline by shorts caused ices TO
rally and the close was quiet, z lower
than Saturday.
Foreign markets were generally lower
for the day. Country offerings were light,
while there was some Improvement in the
cash demand and considerable more en-
quiry for export.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Liberal Receipts Cause Decline All
Along the Line.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Cotton declined
slightly owing to liberal receipts at
Houston, New Orleans, and elsewhere.
BY tomorrow night the Houston receipts
will have reached. it is expected, some
thing like $4,000 bales, possibly a little
more, as against estimates sent here from
Houston on Saturday for the whole week
of 2s.O0O bales.
This circumstance has a rather ugly
look. Another thing which is not liked
is the large movement to other interior
points so large that the total for the half
week is expected to reach $1,000 bales,
the largest on record for this time of the
year. The movement into sight for the
week is estimated at 250,00O 10 O.0O0-
also very large.
In short, the movement everywhere is
large, even when compared with the big
figures for this week last year. Liver
pool, too, was disappointing and Man
chester was less favorable than recently.
For all this, however, the bull side is still
tenaciously held to by powerful interests

movement, slow more confidence than do
