THE PARTY OF YOUTH
Why Young Men Vote the Repub.
Iican Ticket.
1T STANDS FOR PROGRESS.

New Voters Proud to Ally Themselves
With the Party of LineoIn-Its Past
Performances Presase a Still More
Glorious Future.
1t is not without significance that
young men who have just attained
their majority are found, as a rule,
voting the Republican ticket. The rea-
son is plain. Those young men look
on the Republican party as the party
of hope. the party of promise and of
performance, the party for whose can
didates they will be proud to say In
later years that they cast their first
ballot, the party whose past needs no
apology, no balm Of oblivion for blum
ders and for crimes, no record Of slav-
cry, rebellion and attempted repudia-
ton, each stamped out in its turn by
American freemen under Republican
leadership.
The Republican party is eminently
the party of youth. With Republicans
the memory Of the glorious past is but
an incentive to make the future still
more glorious. To the Democracy is
left the congenial occupation of foun-
dering in the marsh of bygone Demo-
cratic vagaries, lured on by some new
and delusive ll-o'-the-wisp to the
quagmfre Of quadrennial failure
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
ton in such company. He prefers to
march forward on firm ground. with
the party Of Lincoln, of Grant Nc
kinley and Roosevelt, of Taft and
Sherman and Hughes-of nearly every
great American, living and dead,
whose career has added luster to the
closing half of the old century and the
! beginning of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause 1t holds out prospect for his
own advancement, because in build
ing up the nation as a whole it offers
; fresh opportunities to the individual,
because under Republican administra-
ton there is a fair field for every one,
and every citizen is protected in the
enjoyment of that which he has right
! fully acquired.
/ The new voter who takes his place
in the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing in
the Republican victory, but also of
knowing that he has helped to assure
prosperity for the country at large and
an UNNECESSARILY better chance in
life for himself and those in whom he
is interested than if the harpies of

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
Toilers Scent Danger In the FaIIaeies
Of Mr.. Bryan.

Toilers Scent Danger In the FaIlaeies
Of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati last
week by Judge Taft with Oscar
Stratus, secretary of commerce and la
Dor, and L. V. Powderly, formerly
general master workman Of the
Knights of Labor, that the attitude of
labor is growing each day more friend
ly to Taft. The campaign Of education
which the Republicans have been car
rying on has been effective, and the
labOring man, so Mr.. Powderly told
the candidate, is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that a restoration Of
business confidence through the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tention to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose Of exposing some of
the Bryan fallacies in regard to labor.
Said Mr.. Straus: The most dangerous
of these fallacieS is presented in
Bryan's slogan, Shall the people rule%
and well may he ask it, for every one
of his leading doctrines is a denial Of
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
eminent guarantee of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition is as great menace as the
old Is to 1 hobby. ITO guarantee de-
posits," said Secretary Straus, els to
guarantee the loans of the banks. for,
as matter of fact, large part Of the
banks deposits is made up Of credits
extended by the bank to borrowers and
by them deposited or placed on the
books Of the banks as deposits"
Mrs Powderly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: la
Dor never was better organized, better
paid, more independent or more re-
spected than it is today. Never was it
more secure in it's share of the outcome
of the commodity or the good will and
confidence Of employers. All this Is
due to the effort of nonpartisan, well
Dficered unions. What labor organiza-
lions now enjoy, and they enjoy more
than they ever enjoyed in the civilized
world before, came as the result OF
Intelligent, cooperative effort exerted
In nonpartisan way through their
unions
"Of course there are many men out
Of employment as the result Of the
recent depression, but to my knowl-
edge men are returning to their old &C.
equations all over the country and at
their old rates Of pay. recall the
awful panic of 1873 and that Of 1893,
md in neither case did men go back to
work at their old wages. The case is
different now, and to my mind It would
be suicidal-fef labor to vote in such a
way as to imperil the return Of full
prosperity. so rapidly manifesting
itself"

Cash PAYMENTS
On Sugar Beets.

The Montrose Enterprise of this week
has the following:
"The beet growers within the terri
tory covered by the Grand Junction
sugar factory will receive cash for the
beets delivered during the last month,
the company so arranging that scrip
will not have to be issued to the grow
ers.
The following letter, accompanied by
a check for one fourth the amount due
each grower, has been mailed out to
each of the growers:
"Dear Sir:-Enclosed find check for
one-fourth of your last beet payment.
The remainder will follow as rapidly as
our collections can be made. Our sugar
sales are more than enough for set
tlement in full for all beets, and, while
collections are very slow, we thought
it advisable to pay on installments
rather than again issue certificates, as
we appreciate the fact that money is
always acceptable.
''In this connection we wish to thank
our growers for the splendid manner in
which they have stood by US in this
unpleasant stringency, which we be-
lieve is now nearly over, and to assure
you that, while we were not the only
big industrial plant to feel its effects,
nevertheless it has been anything but
pleasant for US.
1--WE wish to state that this year,
even with low sugar. there is promise
of a small profit, and the present indi-
cations point to larger acreage next
year. We mention these matters be-
cause we believe that the growing of
beets by you and their manufacture by
US is as near partnership as can exist
where the ownerships are separate,
and our success or failure is yours and
yours ours. You can readily under
stand that we could not much longer
continue unless we succeeded in maxi
ing profit, and we are under many
handicaps such as labor and high
freight rates.
However, we feel that much of the
pioneer work has been done, and by all
pulling together we shall ultimately
need to build other mills on the west
ern slope.
"We hope to follow this payment by
another in a very short time, and pay
all before February.
Trusting the above will be satisfac-
tory and with the seasons greetings,
we are
Very truly,
