The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-04-23

The Fort Collins Express came out
this week with magazine edition label
ed the Republican Political Edition
The matter principally complimentary
biographical sketches of the lives of
local and State Republican leaders. The
cuts are good, the paper is good. the
idea though rather novel, is perhaps a
good scheme if taken up and followed
permanently by organs of all parties
The full exploitation of this idea being
for all party organs to publish in mag
azine supplement biographies Of their
party leaders and candidates in every
campaign and these with to keep tab
on missions ard in accuracies where by
men of other parties are receiving to
much public compliment. All the poll
teal biographical work being done in
a magazine edition would keep it from
occupying space to which the daily
news is entitled. The largest papers
are altogether too much in the habit of
putting political editorials under news
heads on the front page, The maya
sine style Of publishing such editorial
matter would give every body better
chance to choose what he shall read of
it.

QUEER IDEAS ABOUT FOOD.

stitions which have been passed down from cen
tury to century. or those, however, that linger is

sure coming of i'll luck-the result of the painting

the Last Supper, sat before an overturned salt Gel.
lar. Then there is the idea against thirteen at table
because there were Christ and his twelve apos-
ties around that board in the upper room at the
supper which was followed SO soon by our Lords
death, and that of Judas, too.
In some European countries ill luck is said to
follow the person who stirs any liquid in a pan from
east to west, In Scotland persons when baking oat-
cakes break a piece off and throw it in the fire to
appease evil agencies. Still another custom in that
land is to make a birthday cake with nine knobs,
thenof nine Of the assembled company, when the cake
comes hot out of the oven, each breaks one knob
off, and throwing it behind him says: This | give
to Thee, Fox, Eagle, Wolf" etc.
In some countries 1t is considered unlucky to give
a mince pie to a guest-it should be asked for. Like
wise, a mince pie should never be cut with a knife,
but held whole with the fingers and eaten that way.
Also to eat as many mince pies as possible at as
many different houses before Christmas, 1t is be-.
lieved, will insure so many happy months for the
eater.

ROASTING THAT IS VAIN.
Facts Disprove E~xtravagant Claims
Made by Republicans.

The national Republican platform is
nothing If not boastful. nor can it bt
said that it is any more truthful than
bashful. That bundle of fabrication
and misrepresentation, amongst other
things, declares:
Under the administration of the
Republican party the foreign COM
merce of the United States has expert
enced a remarkable growth, until it
has a present annual valuation of APP
p~roximately three billions of dollars
and gives employment to a vast
amount of labor and capital which
would otherwise be idle"
On that general declaration the New
York Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin says:
Now, whatever may have been the
influences which have contributed to
the development of our foreign COM
merce, the policy of the Republican
party is certainly not one of them.
h protectionist theory contemplates
the absolute elimination of the import
OF products which the. country does not
produce, and necessarily tends to the
hampering Of the process of CONNER
cial exchange which, in the last analy-
sis, resolves itself into barter. Com,
pared with the other great nations of
the world the ratio of our foreign trade
to population is certainly not impress
sive.
by the way of supplementing the
general claim that the Republican
party has fostered and promoted for
eign commerce, the assertion is added
that 1t has also inaugurated through
the recent visit of the secretary of
state to South America and Mexico a
new era Of Pan-American commerce,
bringing us into closer touch with our
~ sister American republics, and
oHering us a limitless field of
legitimate commercial expansion.
The specific claim has even less
foundation than the general one.
Eminently beneficial for the pro-
motion of a better understanding be-
tween the United States and Latin
America as the visits of Secretary
Root unquestionably were, they 'inau-
gurated' nothing in the way of com
mercial initiative, not even the postal
subsidies which Mr.. Root SO urgently
demanded"
The fact is that the tariff has been
a great barrier, which the South
American republics have found it al
most impossible to surmount in their
trade with us, the exception being the
enormous trade in coffee from Brazil,
and without which the trade with that
country would be comparatively insig-
nificant.
But then, there is free trade in cof-
fee, SO the Republicans can hardly
lain that the Republican policy Of
protection has built up that trade.

The looms are much the same that grandmoth.
er's mother knew. The size has hean somewhat
reduced, but the principle has not altered any.
IN TACT, looms in all countries as far back as
they can be traced, have the same mechanical de-
wees that are ingeniously elaborated to-day in
the high power carpet factories.
Weaving, no doubt, originated when some prime
val creature plated his or her hair, and then
tried crossing three, strands of heavy grass one
over the other. From mats and baskets came the
idea OF interlacing wool threads, and so cloth was
invented. Weaving, in some form or other, is one
of the earliest signs of civilization.
1t might be argued that weaving is not an evil
dence Of the advancement of intellectually. The
wonderful shawls which come from the far east,
and which We are quite unable to initiate, are
made by a peasant populace. And whoever has
turned over pictures illustrating the manufacture
Of Turkish and Persian rugs is as much impressed
by the uncouthness of the makers as by the SYM
metry and imagination Of the designs.
Crossing the Great Divide Of this continent,
the Navajo and Moi Indians and the Mexican
blanket weavers to the south, are not leaders of
intellectual thought, though they have established
blanket weaving as an industrial. art. The old
squaws are more wrinkled than winsome. This
isn't the fault of the weaving, however, and there
is no gainsayng that rugs and tapestries and
d%raperies and all the other products of the loom
into which individuality is woven, have a reac-
tionary effect on daily .-e.
In bingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long
ago discovered an old colonial loom lurking in the
recesses Of a garnet. 1t was dragged forth and
restrung, and now it is back at work again.
Here, TOO, Swedish linen weaving is done, for
at bingham the industrial arts flourish. Linens
for dresses, toweling, sheeting and table covers
are woven on the Swedish loom.
The process of preparation requires almost as
much time and skill as the weaving itself. To
warp the skeins of linen is the first step. This
is done by arranging all the threads in even
lengths on a device somewhat like a ti,rnstile.
which spins around, carrying them from ton to
bottom and back again. Thus the threads are
measured off accurately, while, by means of pegs.
they are twisted into a figure eight shape. With
this device as many threads as 1000 to a ward
wide material may be kept from tangling. "A
frame with teeth in 1t, like a big wooden comb.

Ruinous Extravaqance.

our import trade lost $3.50, OO0, 900 on
the previous ten months. This, how
ever, is not 20 per cent of the total
assessed for taxation as the expendi-
lures for a single year of Republican
administration. BY a somewhat re-
markable coincidence the total value
of our whole imports for ten months
is $1,O1S,OOO, 900, almost evenly bal
ancing the appropriations Of the Can
