WESTERN SLOPE POLITICS.

The Western Slope in Colorado will
probably return good Republican
majority this fall. The change in
the physical aspect of this rich sec
tion of the state in the last few years
has been commensurate with the
change in political conditions.
Western Colorado is the scene of
the greatest prosperity in the state
Valleys which few years ago were
barren and arid wastes are now bios
soming with orchards whose product
commands the highest price. The
log cabins in which the first settlers
until few years ago were still com
PEELED to live, have been replaced
by painted houses. Telephone lines
connect the inhabitants of what were
once considered remote sections with
the rest of the state. Money is plen-
tiful and mortgages are disappear
ing. Fine churches and schools are
being built at the settlements, and
through the farming regions. Spring
wagons have replaced the heavy We
hicles with which road traffic was car
riel on but few years ago. The
scrubby range cattle which used to
withstand the winters or die, have
been replaced by grade stock, which
is fattened on alfalfa from the wide
fields, instead of rustling. New en-
terprises are springing up. The
towns are scenes of building activi.
ty. boring for oil is going on in many
directions, and a great interest has
sprung up in the utilization of nat
ural recources. and in the develop
ment of tourist attractions.
1t is impossible that the members
of any such progressive intelligent
communities as those which have de-
yelopeG all over the Pacific coast
should have any continuing sympa-
thy with the narrow bigotry, the
placid ignorance, the reastionary and
dangerous policies which have charac-
terized the fusion administration in
this state. They are echoes of the log
cabin in the states carer, and have
no place whatever in the present pro-
gress. The people of the western
slope know the Importance of attract
ing and retaining capital from the
outside, of encouraging the building
of railroads and the development of
the coal and iron and other resources
by treating those who invest in these
lines, not as public enemies, but as
equal sh1rers in the prosperity of the
state.
The vigorous character of the man
who is at the head both of the nation
and of the Republican party has
aroused the enthusiasm of the men
who have been building empires in
the desert valleys. They know that
his sympathies are with them in their
many difficulties and that he shares
their triumphs in overcoming the OBJ
stacles without whimpering, or try
ing to reverse natural laws by local
enactments. Western Colorado is
becoming a Roosevelt stronghold,
and the politicians who think to ac-
cumulate strength by factitious op-
position to all that the president pro
poses, and by petty misrepresenta-
ticn and ridicule. will find that they
have been giving the wrong sort of
political pabulum to the people over
the range.-Denver Republican.

But IL Senator Teller says that dur
ing the Intervening time the question
OF retaining the Philippines has be
come an issue, and that on that ac-
count he tinds the atmosphere of
Democracy oongenial. he should ex-
pain how it was that less than four
years ago when this same issue was
il. a .uga.aiiNe state. he declared en-
phatically and with fervid eloquence
in favor OF keeping the Philippine is
lands. AT that time opposition to an
neXation might Eave counted for
something Tor the treaty with Spain
had not even been negotiated. 1t
was then that he declared that
so long as the American union
lived the American flag in the Philip
pines should not be taken down.
II the Democratic party was objec-
tionable to him at one time because
of the dominating Eastern element, it
should or the same ground be objec-
tionable now. for the element which
then was obnoxious is in ascendency
today. But II it is the Philippine
question, how does he explain the
fact that with eloquence rivaling that
of Old Perplexity at the same time. he
advocated the retention of the Philip
pines. whereas now he comes forward
and processes admiration for the De-
mocracy because a. certain element
in it is opposed to their retention?
In short, is there anything the De-
mocracy could do or is there anything
it could refrain from doing that would
make it Objectionable as long as it
seems to him to hold at its disposal
the prize of another senatorial term?
Senator Teller's old friends in Colo
RADIO would like him to explain his
position-how the Democracy is
odious to him when he does not need
it and yet admirable beyond the pow
er of expression when he thinks he
cannot get along without it.-Depver

The struggle for the control OF the
Eggs of the country has become one
Of the fiercest in the whole range of
farm products. Every corner of the
states is being searched for
eggs by agents for Swift, G. Co., Ar
mour & Co. and few smaller deal
ers who have capital enough to en-
able them to compete with these lead
ers of the provision world. The
price which these firms are willing to
pay is being pushed UP day by day.
and the prospects for unheard OF
high prices for cold storage eggs next
fall and winter becomes stronger
with every advance in the price paid
10 the farmers today.
One Chicago dealer who has been
gladly paying 1914 to 15% cents to
farmers for eggs received word from
two country representatives yester-
day that Swift & Co. were bidding
half cent dozen better, and that
this advance would have to be met If
more eggs were wanted.
Swift & Co. stole march on Ar
mour & Co. at the beginning OF the
egg storage season five weeks ago,
according to the story among com
mission merchants, and got a good
start. Sixteen cent eggs now means

TELLER's PREplcAMENT.

Senator Teller finds himself in an
interesting predicament for which hic
old-time friends in Colorado would
like him TO account.
In 1898 ne condemned the Demo
cratic party because he objected 10
the element which controlled that or
ganization; but still he would not ioin
1t at a later day when the faction for
which he professed sympathy was in
power. MIR. Bryan was the leader
of the Democracy at the later period.
but still Senator Teller held aloof and
was known as a Silver Republican or
later as Teller Silver Republican.
In these two stages of its history
the Democracy presented two radical
ly different phrases and yet neither
was acceptable to Mr.. Teller. Now.
however, when the Eastern wing OF
the party is again in the ascendency
and Bryanism is dethroned. he con
cludes to cast his fortunes with the
Democratic organization and an
nounces that he is candidate for
reelection subject to its approval
His former friends in Colorado would
Ike to know by what process of reas-
oning he has arrived at this result
The situation suggests that Sena-
tor Teller has become a Democrat
Tfor revenge only" and that he has
Joined that party because he thinks
he sees in connection with it the best
chance and the brightest hone of 60
ing back to the senate. If the party
is pleasing to him in respect to its
principles now it should have been
pleasing ten years ago for it stands
now practically where it did then.
