MUCH -RIGHTED MIR. BRYAN

Democratic senators have served
formal notice on Mr. Bryan that he Is
not the sole proprietor of the Demo
cratic lawn; in fact, an intimation Is
given that he would do better to keep
off the grass. Mr.. Bryan's criticisms
of the Democratic senators have been
numerous ever since debate commenc-
ed on the tariff bill, and the senators
have finally injected some views OF
their own into the Congressional Re
cord. Mr.. Tillman inquiries, "Who
gave Bryan the r,ghI - say VINO is

After following Bryan l2 years to de-
feat and disaster, | don't see what
right he has to dictate to Democratic
senator's" and Senators Bailey, Smith,
and others with Democratic credentials
follow in the same strain.
Mr.. Bryan is evidently going on the
theory if he has to suffer defeat every
four years he should at least have the
consolation of laying ont the race track
He knows every signboard and cross
street and there is no probability OF
getting onto the wrong highway when
he is plotting the party automobile
Mr.. Bryan has overlooked one impor-
tant fact. however, and that is that
while southern democrats have saved
their political fortunes in the past, the
portents are numerous that southern
voters are breaking away from TRADITION
and NAV some day refuse to be herdea
into any corral bearing the word - Dem

BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER

At the commencement gathering the
other night when President Hadley or
Yale delivered the address to the grad
yates of that great college, he said
among other things:
I'm order to accomplish anything
great" " he said, "a man must have two
sides to his goodness personel side
and a social side. He must be upright
himself, and he must believe in the
good intentions and possibilities of 9th
ers about him. We do not appreciate
how necessary it is for man to believe
in those about him just as far as he
can and cooperate with them Just as
fully as he can. Yet this also is n
condition of leadership. No matter
now high the ideals for which we stand,
we cannot expect others to follow MS
unless we have confidence in them.
We cannot expect devotion if we return
it with distrust.
1.-THE man who is cynical, whether
about women, or business, or politics,
is assumed to be immoral in his re
lations to women or business or poll
tics. The man who has faith in the
integrity of others in the face of ire
sponsible accusations, is assumed to
have the confidence in others goodness
because he is a good man himself.
This is why people will follow the op'
timist, even though he is sometimes
wrong, and shun the pessimist, even
though he is sometimes right
That President Hadley struck the
key note on the head there is no doubt.
What he says should be taken to heart
by every person in Colorado. During
the past few years, We have passed
through some trying times in this state
and at every stage, one class Of peo-
pie was always ready to pounce upon
the other and accuse the other fellow
of doing things for purely selfish pur-
poses. That selfshness did play a
prominent part IN some VI the dndii
of this state there is no donbt wha t
ever. But if the words of Professor
Hadley could be our guide. Colorado
would be much better off.
In Glenwood, we sometimes hear one
man say that another is doing this o.
that thing for purely selfish interest
We have some few people, who will
forget for a time their own beliefs of
right and wrong and accuse the other
fellow of doing all that he can do tn
destroy the city and place Glenwood
in bad light before the rest of the
world.
This fellow should read again and
again the words of the Yale man. They
certainly apply to his case as no Others
could. If Glenwood people would work
for Glenwood and make the town bet
ter they must work in harmony.

KEEFiM6 PROFITABLE COWS.
Many Kept in Iowa That Do Not
Pay for Their Feed and
Care.

A dairy authority in Iowa asserts
of COWS kept for dairy purposes In
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume,
for they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as
much time and care in milking.
There was time when the dairy
COW was not expected to milk for more
the present high prices for labor and
feed this condition Of affairs can no
longer profitably exist.
The lactation period should be at
least nine months in length. The
amount of milk COW should produce
TO be profitable is variously stated at
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually
or sufficient to yield from 200 to $40
pounds of butter fat This should
vary. of course, with the locality price
of labor. feed. etc. However, 1t is
safe to say that COW with reasonably
good care, that does not produce the
lesser of these amounts is not a profit
able animal Yet how large percent
age of so-called dairy cows will stand
this test?
In order to determine accurately 4
cows usefulness as a dairy animal II
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period AT the same time sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freshening should also be noted In
order 10 determine the length OF the
lactation period.
The same authority asserts that 1t is
good plan to keep book account
with each COW. charging her with cost
of feed consumed and labor expended
and credit her with value Of milk and
calf In this way it will not be dlfh
cult TO pick out the non-paying in
diyiduals.

WE'LL HERE'S THE TRUTH

Why does not the Glenwood Post tell
the people something of the bootleggers
and the gambling that is going through
the courts at Grand Junction! That
paper takes special delight to hit Glen
wood Springs whenever saloons is men
toned. Let MS have the truth.-Ava-
lanche.
All right ,neighbor, we shall be most
happy to oblige you with the truth, AS
per your request.
There are always some people in ev-
cry community who are willing to vio'
late the laws of the city or state, espec-
tally when newspapers without charac-
ter or principle are ready to encourage
them in so doing.
No law against any crime ever entr1e-
w obliterates that crime. The laws
against burglary, horsestealing, murder
and forgery do not entirely prevent the
commits ,ion of those crimes, but in ev-
ery community made up in the main of
law abiding citizens and where there IS
proper respect for the laws of the land
the perpetrators of these crimes are
called by their right names and are
treated as criminals and punished rs
such.
The people of Grand Junction recent
ly made it illegal for anyone to sell
liquor in that community. But there is
nothing very strange nthe fact that
the voting of the town dry did not eu-
tirely stop the sale of liquor.
There are always some who are will
ing to take long chances, especially
when the inducement has a metallic ring
and especially if certain Influences
in the community, newspaper or other
wise. tend to encourage disrespect for
and violations of the law. Such
were the conditions in Grand Junction.
Consequently there appeared those IN
Grand Junction who were willing to
take long chances on violating the law.
Nothing especially strange about that.
But the lawabiding people of Grand
Junction were not to be tritled with,
and they had these criminals arrested
and convicted and they will probably
send them to Jail where they belong.
Encouraged by such influences\as the
Avalanche, which ridicules all efforts
toward law enforcement, those Mexi-
can criminals probably thought they
were safe in taking desperate chances.
They are wiser now. They have found
that one cannot forever defy the laws
of the land and not suffer the penalty
Yes, there have been some violations
of the law-some boOtlegging-i Grand
Junction, but the people down there
will not stop until they have made law
breaking a very expensive pastime and
placed the criminals where they belong.
This is the "truth," neighbor. Call
again. No trouble to show goods.

DAIRY NOTES.

Hollow concrete blocks make an
ideal silo that will not crack or the
contents easily freeze. Machines for
making silo concrete blocks may be
purchased for about $50.
With the exception of where the
very best cedar is used. all wooden
silos should often be painted inside
and out in order to preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose. coal tar is about
as good as any kind. observes we'll
for filing cracks and Is also good
preservative.
The question of the one purpose and
the dual purpose dairy COW has almost
ceased to be discussed by rational
dairymen. The difference between
the dual purpose dairy COW and the
dairy cow" says w d. Hoard of Wis.
consin, "is just the difference between
machine that is made for its Dur.

you think of man who would 60

When every dairyman comes to swn
his own farm and comes to under
stand the most economical use of
SKINNED milk and manure, dairying
Will become profitable industry.
The skinned milk and manure COM

much as the butter fat of the dairy.
1t is better to build two or three
silos of narrow diameter than one Of

Partial Cow Ration.

No one should attempt to run 4
steam engine that was driving a mod
ern threshing outfit with but 80 pounds
of steam. Yet many dairymen at
tempt to get profitable results from
their cows by feeding them a partial
ration. They attempt to run them with
but go pounds OF steam" Chemist,
tell us that two-thirds of what a COW
consumes goes to maintain her body
The remainder goes toward milk pro
duction
1t is evident to all that the profit
must come from the feed over and
above that which the COW requires for
maintenance, and that the more she
eats the greater will be the profit.
There are many good cows in the
country that are not recognized as such
and cannot be made profitable unless
they receive more feed. There is no
profit in feeding partial rations to milcb
cows. We cannot get profitable re.
suits running COWS on 80 pounds OF
steam" II there ia a food shortage.
one might better feed full rations to
half the number rather than feed the
many on half rations. In the latter
case there will be much work and
little profit. In the former, the covs
are sure to give profitable returns.

would be much lessensd. - Milk Re.
