AIRSHIP NAVIGATION.

All the great inventions for the
purpose of locomotion have been ac-
companied with more or less unfor-
tunate results so far as human life
is concerned. The steam engine, the
steam boat, the electrical and gas
power machines have all made more
or less history in the way of fatal
accidents, but the one that has prov
en- the most disastrous to human life
has up TO this date been the airship.
Accidents have accompanied all
these new inventions for the purpose
Of locomotion and they were in turn
pronounced as dismal failures by
many people and often times by a
great majority. It was claimed that
they never would be safe and there
fore never would become practical.
However, they have become practical
and the loss Of human life has been
reduesd in almost every instance to
the minimum,

EAST OPPOSED TO INTERVIEW
TION.

Reports have gone in to Wash
lngton that it is the policy of the
Mexican government to permit the
rebels TO ravage the country on the
border and annoy the American cit
izens on this side Of the line.
President Taft has orderei suff
cient troops to the international line
to prevent any planned attack On the
Americans in our territory, but it is
impossible for our troops under pres
ent conditions to offer relief to the
Americans in Old Mexico. Our troops
have no right to cross .he border
unless it is declared that state of
war exists and that it is necessary tor
us to defend our rights by force Of
arms.
The president would no doubt long
ago have put a stop to the viola
tions of the treaty we have with
Mexico were it not for the fact that
the leaders in the east have advised
him otherwise. They claim that there
is no need for intervention and that
this country can not afford to make
war on Mexico for the small dam
age being done to our citizens down
there. How long would these same
people remain quiet if Canada were
allowing the Canadians to menace the
people of northern New England ana
New York? There would be an i'm
mediate demand for the president to
call together congress for the pur-
pose of declaring war. The east Is
just little too selfish. The west
ern people will not forget their ac-
tions.

EARLY BLIZZARD.

News from all over the state in
down from the Dominion of Canada
and brought the temperature to the
freezing point in all points of the
state, including the warmest portions,
such as Pueblo and Grand Junction.
Those acquainted with weather sta
tistics claim that this is the earliest
cold snap for some forty years.
1t is thought that but little dam
age was done to crops as all are
well matured, and the big part of the
crops have been harvested Most of
the hay is in the stack and the grain,
except in the higher attitudes, is in
the shock or stack. The fruit, to a
great extent, excepting the late fruit
such as apples, has been picked. There
is but little chance for damage to
the matured crop. So it is to be pre-
sumed that, although we have had an
unusually early frost, no great dam
age has been done to the crops.
There were eight inches of snow
at Cripple Creek and higher up in
the mountains there was foot OF
more of the beautiful. In the lower
attitudes and the southern portion q
cold rain fell, making the weather
quite disagreeable. Here at Durango
it has been chilly, but no moisture
fell

A MENACE TO COLORADO.

In the east Mr.. Wilson and his as
sociate campaign speakers are preach
ing the doctrine of free raw ma
terial. The national platform which
the Democratic party adopted declar-
cd for tariff for revenue only, and
further, it approved the action of the
Democratic house of representatives
in passing measures to reduce or abol-
ish tariffs on metals, woolens and
the farmers free list" In the pres
ent campaign the presidential candi-
date is upholding this platform and
urging that the proposed reform be-
gin with raw materials"
Colorado produces raw material to
a great extent and manufactured ar
ticles TO limited extent. Its inter
est, therefore, lies not in free trade,
but in protection.
A policy such as is advocated by
the Democratic party in the nation
would be the undoing Of Colorado If
carried into practice. No other COM
monweath would suffer to the extreme
extent to which this state would be
placed under such policy; and Colo
RADIO would profit less than almost
any other state from the benefits
which it is claimed would come from
free trade.
Here mining is recovering, slowly,
but assuredly, because of the sub
stantial increase that has taken place
in recent months in the price of met
ais, such as lead and zinc. The other
month the Democratic majority in
the house passed bill to reduce the
tariff on these metals and place them
in competition with the productions
of Mexico and the south of Europe.
Opportunities for the cultivation of
sugar beets and the manufacture of
sugar in this state are unbounded AL
ready Colorado is at the head of su-
gar beet producing states, and be-
ginning in this direction has been
made only, with certainty of a
marked yearly increase, provided
there is no "free sugar" legislation
Every year Colorado is going for
ward as an agricultural state, and is
also producing wool and other articles
of consumption. 1t is doing so under
protection.
Why. then, should the people of the
state, with their eyes wide open,
vote their own undoing? Why should
they place the mining, the sugar beet
and the agricultural industries of the
west in jeopardy for the imaginary
benefit of New England's great manu-
featuring centers?
This is business, not politics; it is
a condition, not Wilson theory, that
confronts Colorado in November
Denver Times.

OUR LACK OF LUxURIEs.

The president of the Housewives
Co-Operative league of Cincinnati,
Mrs. J.J w. Ellms, has raised the ire
ire of some folks by declaring that
the present high price of sugar has a
direct relationship with the fines i'm
posed upon the sugar trust by the
national government. The trust says
shortage in the supply is responsible
for the high prices; other refiners
blame the advance on the tariff. The
one fact undisputed is that prices are
exoI bitantly high, and the consumer
pays. Mrs. Elms declares that if
the members of the Cincinnati league
are unable to buy sugar at reason
able price they will do without it al
together.
That is an effective solution, but
drastic. If it were generally adopted,
1t would compel the trust to pay the
fines out of it's own pocket, and would
eliminate the tariff and the shortage
of supply as factors, and therefore
make it unnecessary to determine
which three is the real cause of the
high cost of sugar. But the remedy
would be rather hard on most of us.
Possibly, we might be compelled to
fall back on long sweetnin'."
The going without may not be an
unmitigated evil. 1t might be valu-
able experiment for us to try doing
without lot of things voluntarily be-
fore the point is reached when we
may have to go without. And that is
getting too close for comfort to many
of us.
The plain truth is, we haven't
enough luXuries, while there seems to
be no limit to our necessities. The
ease with which We can convert the
luxury of today into the necessity of
tomorrow is amazing. A self-respect-
ing American mechanic and his family
would refuse to live in score of Eu-
ropean castles that have housed rich
and noble families for generations, be-
cause the castles are lacking in the
conveniences the average American
thinks he couldn't get along without.

Last Saturday evening the execu
tive committee of the La Plata county

law and organized by selecting Frank
h. Rivers, chairman, Mike Brennan
secretary, and John Melton, treasurer
er.
This is the formal organization pro.
vided for by the new primary law ano
Is something new in this st,.,. The
law provides the method of procedure
in selecting the county executive com.
mittee which acts in the place of the
old county central committee. The
state committee is organized in the
same way.
These new features of the law will
prove satisfactory and the law will
be accepted generally when the as.
sembly feature is discarded. 1t is
true that there are some objections tc
the primary law which may in time
be obviated, but when the people be.
come acquainted with the workings OF
a good primary law they will never
change it for the old.
The direct primary is new in this
country and it will take some time te
modify it SO that il will be me most
suitable for the conditions. The po.
litical bosses of all parties will be
slow about saying anything favorable
about it, and many false statements
will be made to turn the people
against it.

SITUATION NOT PLEASING.

The Grand junction News does not
like the present situation so far as
politics is concerned. 1t did all it
could to nominate the Progressive
Republicans and was very much in
terested in the nomination of p. b,
Stewart for governor. Now that he
is defeated, and indirectly because of
the actions of the Progressives and
directly because of the Republicans,
the News is not quite certain just
what it will do.
In a statement published recently
it says it has but little use for the
Progressive nominees and at the same
time says that if Stewart was de-
feated by the votes of Las Animas,
Huerfano and Conejos counties it will
not support the nominees of the Re-
publican party, and further states
that there will be an uprising against
both the old parties and that the
combination of the progressives of
both parties will triumph at the polls
If one reads between the lines he
must come to the conclusion that the
News took an active part in the Re-
publican primaries and will not stand
by the ticket nominated last Tues
day, since, as it claims, the Parks
ticket was nominated by certain coun.
ties where voting is a business of the
people and where politics has been re-
duced to successful science.
1t is probable that the Colorado
Springs Gazette will be in the same
humor.
