THE DEMOCRACY AND "HONEST
John"

Our friends, the members of the
Democratic party in Ell Paso coun-
ty, in their recent convention in
this city, did not overdo their praise
TOR the two administrations of Gov
ernor John Shafroth. In fact they
wore very mild about it-about as
mild as they could be. Here is what
the. said by way of resolution with
respect to the state Democratic ad-
ministratiotn:
I'VE confidently commend to our
fellow citizens the record of the
present Democratic administration
in the state of Colorado"
This was all, but IL was enough.
Indeed, no kind friend of the ex-
travagant and incompetent outfit
that has occupied the state house
for the last four years, could say
anything further. For wastefulness
and incompetency We have never
had the equal of this aggregation.
If the people of Colorado desire
this state to become solvent once
more and to again meet its debts
and reach the end of the term with
balance in the treasury, the thing
to do is to elect Republican ad-
ministration. The people of Colo
rado have suffered long enough, the
credit of the state has suffered
enough, and it is high time to
root out the Shafroth crowd OF po-
itical highbinders and give the state
a chance to show what it can do

SECRETARY OF STATE SENT
TO JAP EMPERORS FUNERAL

For the first time in the history
of the United States. the secre-
tary of state was designated a spec
ial ambassador to foreign power.
Pesident Taft assigned Secretary
of State Knox as special ambassa-
dor to Japan to attend the funeral
of the late Emperor Mutsuhito on
September IL, with the statement
that the mission was given to the
premier of the cabinet as an evidence
of the American friendship for Jap
an. When the japanese ambassador
to Washington heard of the mis-
sion he asserted that it would be
taken by the Japanese as an act of
the greatest courtesy and one cal
culated to make even warmer and
more cordial the existing relations
between the two governments.
Secretary Knox will be accompan-
led on his mission by Mrs. Knox. As
aides he will have a major-general of
the army and rear admiral of the
navy to be selected. Ranford S. Mil
Ter, chief of the far eastern state
department, will accompany him as
secretary of the embassy. Secre-
tary Knox expects to return early
in October.
Secretary Knox's mission will be
performed at a time when at least
one question of much interest to
the United States Is pending in the
far east. 1t is the case of the Kor-
can missionaries, in which several
Americans have been accused by ma
tives of having been implicated in
a polt to assassinate the governor
OF Korea. SO far no official cores
pondence is known to have passed
between the two countries on the
subject. though it Is one of grave in
terest.
The recently reported undertake
ing between japan and Russia to
govern their attitude toward China
also makes Mr.. Knox's visit to Jap
an timely one.

WOOL VETO IS TWENTY-FIFTH
TO BE SENT IN BY TAFT

When President Taft last Satur-
day vetoed the wool bill, he had
stamped with his disapproval the
twenty-fifth legislative measure
sent to him by congress. Most of
the vetoes were on comparatively un-
important subjects during the spec
ial session last summer.
Four of his vetoes have been of
tariff bills. His one other veto of
Importance last year was directed at
the joint resolution admitting AriZ-
ona and New Mexico to statehood.
This bill met with executive disap-
proval because of the provision in
the Arizona constitution allowing
the recall OF judges.
Beside the wool bill the presi-
dent has returned one important
measure at this session-the army
appropriation bill, which, as it pass
ed congress, would have legislated
General Leonard Wood out of office
March 4, and would have made radi-
cal changes in the army. Already he
has planned enough vetoes for this
session to add half a dozen to
the present record.
The vetoes of the steel tariff bill
and the legislative, executive and

Republican party will still be in
existence and going ahead with the
noble work of making the country

Reforms do not come about by
the flash-in-the-pan candidacy of
an ambitious candidate who at one
sweep would revolutionize the ma
ton, make over its constitution
and destroy lawful and orderly pro-
and destroy lawful and orderly pro-
cedure. They come along the lines
OF constant endeavor-slowly, per-

Roosevelt with no higher motive
than the satisfaction of his own
overwhelming ambition, is a posi-
tive danger to the nation. And
this fact. we believe, the nation
will realize when it settles down
to think things over in calmness
and coolness. - Philadelphia En-

RoosEvELT's NEW PARTY.

Well he has gone and done it. He
has bolted from the Republioa an party
and has formed party all his own.
He has nominated himself for presi-
dent and has placed himself upon a
platform, every plank of which was
practically constructed by himself.
We have had greenbackism. free
silverism, Populism, Socialism and
now we have Rooseveltism. We
have a brand new party, which has
been formed by one man, which has
been bossed by one man. Take away
the man and the party would crumble
to dust.
So, if the platform is fearfully
and wonderfully made; if it contains
views of the most radical nature;
if it voices promises that are meant
to be nothing but promises, What
matters it? If the appeal in large
measure for votes is made with great
deliberation, not to the intelligent
citizen, but to the man who sees
things only upon the surface, who
is there in all Ct the Roosevelt
movement to object? For this
movement is unique in being a one
man affair. The followers of Mr..
Roosevelt place him upon a pedestal
and bow down before him and wor-
ship him. He is their leader, their
king can do no wrong.
We have had movements design
ed to break up the Republican party
before. They have never succeed
ed. Brief success may have been won,
but the great party of Lincoln, of
Grant, of Mckinley and of Taft has
weathered storms of the years and
has formulated and pushed on to
consummation all of the reforms
that have come, one after another.
1t has maintained the country in
prosperous condition. Its career
is not yet ended. When Mr.. Roose-
velt has been consigned to the
place in history which party
wrecker and a man insane with ego
tism must inevitably occupy, the

GERMANS GIVE UP THE PIPE
Paper Smokes Gain In Favor and Sta
tlstlcs Show That Ten Times
as Many Are Used.

Berlin.-The typical pipe of the
German IL passing out and giving
place to the cigarette in spite of the
devotion of the older Germans to
their pipes or penny cigars.
Statistics just published show that
the number OF cigarettes consumed
has increased more than tenfold
since 1897, when the billion mark was
passed. the figures being for 1907,
7,S20,000,000; for 1908, S,69S, 900 900;
for 1909, 9,5OS,0O0,O0O, and for 1911,
05,000.000. These figures include
the stamped hulls used by persons
who prefer to make their own ciga-
rettes but who are not allowed to
escape the cigarette tax, and they
show that the consumption has al
most doubled in the last five years.
Assuming 100000 adult male
smokers in Germany. this gives an
average consumption per smoker of
$40 cigarettes a year. The great bulk
OF these are cigarettes OF the cheapest
sort, 81 1-2 per cent OF those sold in
1911 retailing at 1-2 pfennigs (three
for cent? or under and 35.7 per cent
falling in the next grade, retailing at
l-2 pfennigs apiece. All in all, the
German smoker, 1t is estimated. burns
up 250,000,000 marks. s62.50O.000. in
cigarettes annually.

Creation of Such a Body Advocated
by Two Party Platforms.

coming legislature will be asked to
create. In his inaugural message, it
is understood, Gov.-elect Elliott W.
Major will call attention to this need.
The platforms of both the Demo
Gratis and Republican parties declared
for such a board, and no opposition
is expected to the measure. 1t also
is stated that Gov. Hailey in his fare
well message will advocate the crea-
ton of the board and may submit a
bill.
Former Assistant Attorney General
John NJ. Atkinson, who is now special
counsel for the state, is giving all leg
islation advocated by the Democratic
platform his attention and he will
draft many of the bills
Among the measures will be one to
create a state highway board and an
other to provide for a department for
the reclaiming of swamp lands and
the building of levees TO protect rich,
low bottoms.
1t is understood that Assistant At

ments to the present primary aW, to

c. NJ. Hubbard Of St Louis, general
manager of the St Louis Providclt
OF the committee on organization of
charity. Organized charity was ne-
fined by Mr. Hubbard as simply char
ity controlled by good common sense"
"City Judged by Charities"
He outlined its workings as fol
lows:
Its throefold purpose is to promote
proper methods in tn relief and care
of needy families, to bring all char
liable and benevolent agencies of the
community into cooperation. and to
promote such broad remedial and pre-
ventive measures as will tend to re-
move the causes Of poverty and mis-
cry. For the destitute and suffering
it endeavors to secure prompt and
adequate relief; to discover, through
sympathetic investigation, the causes
of distress, and as far as possible to
remove them; to encourage self help
through employment, savings and
good habits; to establish sources of
regular relief for the permanently de-
pendent; 10 develop through friendly
suggestions the best efforts and high
est ideals"
Among specific movements which
organized charity fosters were men
toned the treatment and prevention
Of tuberculosis, better housing condi-
lions. precention of infant mortality,
nurses for the destitute sick, play
grounds, pure milk supply ana INDUS
trial protection for women and chill
dren. Organized charity he said,
"sustains the same relation to the
charitable field that a chamber Of
commerce, a merchants exchange a
commercial club or a business mems
league does to the commercial field.
The day is coming, if not already
at hand, when a city or a community
will be judged not so much by its
commercial prosperity as by the way
it provides for the education and care
of it's dependent, defective and delin-
quent classes, and the measures it
adopts to prevent the multiplication
and continuance of these unfortunate
classes"
