W. r. Armstrong. secretary OF the

1ez this week in his perigrinations
for the purpose of getting contrac1 3
for 5000 acres of sugar beets, which
will assure factory at Durango. w
are pleased to announce that the re
quired acreage has been secured and
the factory will be built. AT first II
was the opinion of our people tina;
sugar beets could not be hauled t.
Dolores at a profit, but a careful In
vestigation of this question demon
strated otherwise. and there will
probably be 200 acres planted next
spring. Five dollars ton at Dolores
s the price to be paid. It Is the de
sire of the sugar people to build a

age can be secured. 1t is hoped this
can be done next season. The advan-

IF JAPAN HAD A
DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Should the United States go to war
with Japan there is one great advart-
age which Japan would have over
this country. Japan would be united.
Every man in that country would 10
his utmost to help his country win.
On the contrary, in the United States
the Democratic party and the Social
ist party would oppose the controlling
party's conduct of the war and throw
many stumbling block in the way.
The government would have a foreign
foe to fight and oppositian at home to
combat. Don't you think so?
If you don't, just look back 4 few
years to the war between the United
States and Spain. Democrats roasted
Mckinley because he was slow in de-
claring war Then when war was de-
clared and fighting had commenced,
the Democrats began to find fault.
Don't you remember how the Demo
cratic papers had rule that they
must never go to press without carl
cature of Mckinley. known as little
Willie" and how they printed stories
l1sout Roosevelt and said he shot n
Spaniard in the back going un San
Juan hill, and how this abuse was
kept up until lot of miners stoned
Roosevelt when he visited Cripple
Creek?
{sle place where the Democratic
party got in its work with telling ef-
feet was in getting the soldiers dis
satisfied. The government was rip
ped up one side and down the otoer
because the soldiers were not fed on
ice cream and strawberry short-cake
and allowed to lie in the shade when
there was a battle to fight. The
flame of dissatisfaction was famed
and soldiers were made to feel that
they had nothing to fight for and that
they were buncoed when they went to
war and did not find 1t picnic.
When the United States kept the
Philippines howl went up and was
kept up till 1t was worn out. Bryan
was the direct cause of Aguinald0
holding out so long, because Aguin
aldo had hopes of Bryan being
elected, when the Americans would
evacuate.
This opposition does not grow out
OF the Democratic party wanting diff |
ferent things than the Republican
party. for Democrats and Republicans |
live side by side and are neighbors, |
and all want the same things. Thai
is the trouble. The Republicans have |
the government and the Democrats |
want 1t, and think the best way tC |
get it is by creating some false issue |
and getting the majority of people to |
believe it.
The Socialists would oppose any |
action of the government because |
they have no love for it, and MAY |
think that If its foundation wers |
shaken they would have chance fol |
an inning.
they would have retained the Philip |
pines just as the Republicans did |
They would have sent the soldiers to |
war to suffer hardships just as the |
Republicans did. They simply op |
posed the things that the Republicans |
did in order to have an issue.
Japan has no Democratic party, and |
that is where it has a great advant |
age over the United States. If thai |
country had had a Democratic party |
it would never have whipped Russia.
