Washington. Feb. 20.-Though con-

were. Consideration of the whole
matter makes it apparent that high

cause of Republican competency, but
idespite RepuDlican incompetency, if
the credit IS to be given or the re-

The Sentinel has received so many
kind words for the manner in which

makes us modest to refer to them
All through the season The Sentinel

these scores by the Associated Press

BUT DO WORKINGMEN
BELIEVE 1T is so?

Mr.. Taft used a conventional Re-
publican argument when he asked
workingmen to remember that un-
der Republican auspices wages have
been higher, the standard of living
has been higher and the Industries of
the country have thrived, whereas,
when they go back to Democratic
administration, they find just the
contrary to have existed
If workingmen have that complac-
ent view of the Industrial situation
which prompted Mr.. Taft to say that
he saw no signs of business depres-
sion in the West. they will agree with
the other view readily enough. Super
ficially it is an effective argument
and one not easily confuted if the
premise is accepted that wages are
really higher, the standard of living
really higher and industry really
thriving. Are they? The country is
still under Republican auspices. and
yet it is a matter of what MI. Roose-
welt would call common notoriety'
that hundreds of thousands of work
ingmen are out of employment. that
many thousands, still employed, are
working on shortened time, and that
many thousands more have accepted
reductions in wages. If Republican
self-sufficiency claims the credit for
higher wages, is it to shirk and avaid
the responsibility for these counter
balancing conditions?
The standard of living is a polite
fiction. 1t is a relative term. It
finds its satisfaction with the condi-
tions we would like to have, not in
comparison with the American ideals
of wage-earners worthy their hire
and gaining freely enough to own
their homes, support their families
and educate their children, but with
the conditions which obtain in Eu-
rope The standard of living in this
country is not so high as it should
be and not so high as it would be il
there were approximate economical
marmony between the rate of wages
and cost of living increased enor-
mously by insstence on a privilege
begetting tariff.
Any knowledge of business condi-
tions makes easy the answer to the
assertion of Mr.. Taft as to "our thriv-

THE DAY
IN COURT

| Nearly all of today was con-
, sumed in the district court by
the trial of Newton Smith charg-
ed with taking unlawful liberties
with five-year-old Bonnie Mar
tin, which trial began yesterday.
This morning was devoted To the
introduction of evidence both
Tor the prosecution and the de-
fense.
Several motions were made by At
torney Griffith for the defense seek
ing to get the case dismissed on the
grounds that the prosecution had
ialled to make out case but all
these motions were denied by the
court
This afternoon the arguments were
made in the case.
Attorney Griffith made an excep-
tionally strong and effective plea for
his client while District Attorney
Selig made most forceful, sincere
and earnest argument in behalf of
the prosecution.
The case was given to the jury
shortly after four o'clock. 1t was
the opinion of many who watched the
trial through that case against Smith
was not strong one.
Following this trial the divorce
suit of Bessie l.. Smith VS.. Ezra l..
Smith, well'known Fruita people. was
called, Both sides announced ready
Tor trial and as The Sentinel goes to
press jury is being selected. The
taking of evidence will not begin un-
I'll Monday.
The prisoners in the jail who have
pleaded guilty will probably be SEN
fenced today, just before court ad-
journs.
Judge Shackleford late this after
noon excused all the petit jurors save
those selected for the Smith divorce
case, until December Sth. when an
adjourned term of court will be held.
