It's easy enough to see that the
Denver News and Times have been
boycotted, by glancing at their adj
vertising columns. The big de-
partment store advertisements are
lacking. 1t does seem that the
time is coming when newspapers
will be governed by the interest
of the powers that be. Not polit-
ically, for a paper is supposed to
have its politics, but when a paper
opposes the interest of the big com
binations Of capital, they in return
are likely to oppose the newspaper.
So after all it is simply fight be-
tween capital and labor. There is
no doubt but that capital is well
enough organized to boycott effect
lively. Whether or not the labor
element will retaliate to the same
extent, remains to he seen. This
is the first time that hoycott of
this nature has been attempted in
Colorado. The question is, will
society soon become so divided
that capital will only support cap
italis:ic institutions and labor their
institutions? If so, the fight be-
tween the two elements of society
is progressing to an alarming ex-
tent.

years been somewhat pivotical. 1t

The harmony that existed
throughout the convention is
something new in the history OF
national conventions and this

memorable, in the years to come,

United States.

Instead of the conviction that they
would be let alone and would be

THE NATIONAL TICKET.

THE QEpUlLICAN pAQTY.

'
confidence in the Republican par
ty. Business prosperity and in
dustrial growth have been closely
associated with control of the gov
ernment by that organization. In
proportion to its confidence in the
Republican party the business
community lacks confidence in the
practical wisdom and administra-
tive ability of the Democracy.
This will have much to do with
determining the result of the ap-
proaching presidential campaign.
Business men in all parts Of the
country know what the Republican
party stands for and what may be
expected from President Roosevelt
and all administration of which he
would be the head. They recog-
nize that the administrative policy
would he in no material respect
different from what it has been
during the last three years or SO.
They could connt on continuance
Of the policy which has prevailed
and under which the country
would soon recover from the de-
preston into which it has tempor-
arily sunk.
The value of this is made all the
more clear when it is considered
that in large measure business
prosperity dependa upon public
confidence. Often, if the govern
ment will let business interests
alone, they will take care of them
selves. There may be times of de-
preston following others of great
prosperity and initiation, but from
all such conditions the country
will come unframed, provided it
is permitted to do 50 by the pow
ers that determine Legislation and
administrative policy.
We are in the midst of such a
situation now. business has been
declining for something like two
years. The country as a whole,
however, is in good condition.
We have had excellent crops. For
eign trade is active. The money
question causes no disturbance. 1t
is not even under discussion. The
mass Of the people are not in debt,
and hence there is no long period
Of liquidation to be passed through
before business can revive. In the
natural and undistnrbed course of
events the period of depression
will pass in II little while and one
Of business activity and prosperity
will come in its stead.
business men everywhere rec,
ognize this, and hence in the belief
that President Roosevelt will be
elected they find assurance of re,
vlving trade and greater activity
They are impcllcd to vote 70,

Thirty Acres al Keystone ,iding-A

Imperial has added another 10 the long list of her valuable products. F F.

II l. nine feet high and las heads four feet long. How many tons all this will make-quien sAhez-and when it is considered that 1t is worth about eighty dollars ton IL will be seen that Mir. Green has a bonanza in the crop, which l. now nearly ready to harvest This IL, sO far a. heard from, the first venture iO any considerable ex- tent of the kind in the valley, and If no unforeseen obstacle arise 10 lis profita ble marketing will doubtless be the begin ming of an extensive industry in that line. There is now no market, presum- ably, nearer than Los Angeles, but factory could probably be established here, and the making of brOOms in a shady place would be easier than farm or ditch work, in the hot sun. Then the finished product could be shipped both east and west and il would have the advantage of being a freight that could take its time and not suffer by de- lay. Imperial has got several promis- ing industries started already. Why mol add this tO them?
