The East Half of Custer
County cast about 600 votes a.
gainst the Miles City bridge
proposition and about $50 votes
for it. Does this mean that the
voters Of the East Half are ready
for county division? We believe
it does. -And it wouldn't sup
rise US to see the citizens Of the
eastern part get together any
time, and divide.
Whenever lines can be agreed
upon, that VIII be acceptable to
all parties concerned in the cast
ern half Of Custer County, we
believe the people as q whole in
this section will aid in securing
a division Of the county. The
rival feeling between several Of
the towns, SO noticeable during
the last attempt for division has
passed away and whenever this
division proposition again comes
up each community will be found
working hand in hand. County
Division will not and cannot be
secured without the friendly aid
of each community within the
boundaries of the proposed new
county. Ekalaka will favor divi-
sion, but she will do nothing
until the sentiments of the maj
GRITTY in the Eastern Half are ex-
pressed.

rates when they went into effect
gave Lamar the same reductions
on classes below first and second
as Colorado common points, with
reduction of &c first class from
Chicago and St. Louis rate points.
and reduction of sc from these
rate points on second class. Glass
rates below first and second were
formerly, and are now the same as
Colorado common point rates, and
ON these classes 1t would seem that
commission s. order 3700 would ap-
ply, and II would also seem that
the commission should without for
NAL complaint issue permissive
order allowing the Santa Fe to pay
reparation of first and second class.
The case of Lamar as 1t now
stands shows discrimination
against Lamar shippers as compar-
ed with other points east of Colo
rado common points. taking Col
orado common point rates in that
they get no benefit from repara-
tion by the reduction which were
finally made by the Santa Fe jan
uary 2. 1911. as n result of the

should be retroactive also for La

ped a portion of his stock last week.
The little lambs have gotten away

is very doubtful II they make their
owners any money this year. 1t is
our opinion the feeding of lambs
on borrowed capital is too much
on a large scale. and principally
like gambling. the main difference
is that the banker is sure to play
the winning card. but you know
1t is a good thing for the county
any way.

demonstrates beyond contradictio,
that opening our markets to for
eigners adversely effects American
industry. The proposition to cut
the tariff ON sugar is simply a
scheme to enrich the coffee and
foreign sugar magnates in New
York at the expense of the people
and great industry.
VIII the tinkers ever come to
see the folly of striking at our i'm
dustries? What else than panic and
bankruptcy could be bred of a
wholesale plan to let the bars down
to competitiOn-to force upon us
laws that would beggar the ccoun-
try to make rich a gang of unscrup-
ulous sugar sharks of New York.
The bill to be reported cut in the
house committee was outlined in
these columns last week. 1t is
doubted II it passes the senate and
in any event President Taft stands
between 1t and home interests. 1t
is the constant agitation that hurts.

ENDORSED TAFT


The Taft headquarters at the ma
tional capital ware opened on Mon
day evening of this week and the
first message received was from
the Colorado state committee that
the President had been endorsed
by the state committee by a vote
OF 1Os 10 10.
The gathering at the state capt.
tai on Lincoln's birthday was one
of the largest In the history of the
party In the state and the endorse
ment OF the Taft administration
was practically unanimous. Not only
was the committee for him but the
overwhelming sentiment of the
hundreds OF republicans gathered
there was with him. The resolu-
tions adopted by the committee
were as follows:
BE II Resolved. That the Re
publican state central committee
recognizes in the administration of
President Taft an honesty concern
ing national affairs that promises
much for the future of our ooun-
try.
"At all times and under all condf
tions. William Howard Taft has un-
falteringly stood for the rights Of
the people and a proper yet vigor-
Gus enforcement OF the laws of our
country. He has richly earned
at the hands of his party a renomi-
nation for the great office he now
fills so admirably and at the hands
of the people a reelection thereto
We heartily iDdorse his renomina-
tion and predict his reelection by
an overwhelming popular and cleo
toral vote. In all fairness he
should be made the Republican
standard bearer in 1912 and we
pledge to him our hearty and un-
stinted support"
The date fixed for the state con
vention to nominate delegates to
the national convention was March
27th and Colorado Springs was
named as the place.
In the evening a banquet was
given at Ell Jebel Temple and there
where hundreds OF republican men
and women present from all over
the state. T. II. Devine was
toastmaster and Senator Beveridge
was the orator of the day.

lieve that the whole country is a
sink of corruption and that the re-
public is going to the 'demnition
Iow-wows" without fail.
There is nothing wrong with the
nation and there is nothing wrong
with business. If the people could
be given a rest from the political
neurotics." In great and growing
country certain ailments are liable
to enter into the body, but they are
not to be exercised by dervishes and
ghost dancers.
Out in Colorado the political
neurotic" has been doing no end of
mischief. We find him at the head
of sensational publications Issuing
neurotic manifestos. running cam
paigns for mushroom parties and
beating the tom-tom as part of his
profession. He is like the sendi-
:ary quack. who must alarm his
dupe over the latter's terrible con-
dition before extracting the coin.

and now they have ''fit of con-

stitutionns must be burned and the
era of liberty. equality and frater-
nifty ushered in through direct leg
islation." First of all the courts
must be abolished and individuals
and corporations are to be treated
as criminals. The people shall
rule" and do nothing else but vote
and pass half-baked laws to shackel
themselves later on.
Every discredited politician or
jackleg lawyer that comes along
has a quiver full of panaceas that
will bring the millennium over night.
The time has come for the sober
minded people to take matters in
their own hands and rid themselves
OF this neurotic political atmosphere
and get down to business bedrock.
While the freaks and takers are
shouting about this fsncied wrong
and that great crime. the state is
being robbed of its birthrigbt by
the enemy at Washington.
Much good II will do Colorado to
have AN encyclopedia constitution
and laws innumerable upon every
conceivable subject. II Its mills and
mines and factories are closed to
remain closed through ''revlsion'

Get rid OF the false prophets and
neurotics and let the good people

tion and safety of their common

GOOD ROADS MEETING
Prowers County Association Holds
Enthusiastic Session In Lamar

On Tuesday evening the Prov
ers County Good Roads Association
held its regular meeting at the Com
mercial Club rooms in Lamar and
the large attendance and interest
shown was a surprise even to the
officers, who have watched the
steady growth of sentiment of fav-
vor of the movement in the county.
The visiting members of the state
association also expressed surprise
at the crowd which greeted them.
Holly sent up a delegation of
over twenty of her well known
boosters and Wiley also sent in
good delegation. Altogether there
were over one hundred members of
the association in attendance. Bob
Higgins of Pueblo and w. H. EN-
mons of Denver. president and sec
retary of the state association.
and Messrs. McLain and Maddox
of Canon City. two of the big
boosters for the Rainbow route.
were in attendance also. as well as
W. o. Skinner of the Santa Fe. who
is just as much of a booster for the
Santa Fe Trail as he is for the
Santa Fe Railway.
President s. G. Porter of Holly
called the meeting to order and
In a short talk reviewed the work
of the association for the past three
years. He told of the early diff
culties in getting sentiment arous-
ed and the rapid work since. He
spoke of the splendid work OF Good
Roads Day both in amount of work
ne and in aroustng sentiment;
of the enthusiasm of the large del
egation sent to the Pueblo con-
vention and the splendid results of
the backing and encouragement CIV
en- the commissioners in their work.
and he complimented the county
commissioners in their work. and he
complimented the work done in the
past year for the betterment of the
roads of the county. More he said
had been accomplished in the past
twelve months than in dozen
years before.
As this was the regular meeting
for the election of officers for the
year the association then proceed
ed to their election. DIR. Hasty
nominated S. @. Porter for presi-
dent and the election was made
unanimously as was also that of
W. ID. O'Neil for secretary. An ex-
ecutive committee was elected con-
sisting of three yice-presidents. DR..
J. s. Hasty. NJ. J. MeMillin and
Chas. Spencer. They are to select
district directors for the whole
county.
President Higgins and Secretary
Emmons of the state association
then made addresses on the work
Of the state association. Both made
interesting talks and as a result
a large number of membership
cards for both the county and the
state association were taken. After
this the meeting adjourned to the
Lyric theatre where Manager GIL
man had made arrangement to
show the moving pictures of the
Rainbow route which were shown
in Pueblo during the state meeting.
The celebration of Good Roads
Day will be continued and the other
counties of the valley will be asked
to join in the event this year.
