A jefferson county, Pennsylvan-
ian, who is one of the unique char
acters of the county, has been en-
gagged in farming and numbering on
a small scale and is now keeping a
hotel. He speaks with a slow. in
imitable drawl and is. withal a
steadfast republican.
Last Monday a commercial trav-
eler asked him for his views on
the contest for the republican nom-
nation for president; after some
deliberaton Jake replied:
"Wa-al now. l dunno. but kind
of like this ma'an Roosevelt. he
knows what to do when he gets In
a book; you see they got in an
awful snarl out there in the Phil
ippine Islands but Mr.. Roosevelt
knew what to do and he sent a fell
low by the name of Ta-aft out
there and he fixed 1t up purity nice
Then these here fellows down In
Cuba got to kickin' up q kind of
a ruction and Mr.. Roosevelt sent
this here ma'an. Ta-aft down there
and he smoothed things out purity
we-ell. And then. you know. Mr..
Roosevelt he stole a piece of land
down there somewheres about PAN
anna. and he wanted folks to think
he got it honest SO he called in
this here Ta-aft and got him to fix
II up on paper SO that 1t looked
about ha-aft decent.
''And you know Mr.. Roosevelt
he was president about seven years
and ha-aft and he got the re,pub-
lican party and business and the
whole country into a hell OF a
mix. and he put this man Ta-aft
In to see II he couldn't fix this up
too. and it's a devil of a big I'M
dertak-ing. and no fe-ellow could
get through with 1t inside of about
eight years; 50 I think we ought
to stick to Mr.. Roosevelt, and give
this man Ta-aft about four years
more In which to finish his jo-ob. :"

State Meeting

In an endeavOr to devise ways
and means for securing for the
counties of the state their share
of the state road funds, unnavail-
able by reason of the Illegally of
House Bill No. 200. the vice. presi-
dents OF the Colorado Good Roads
association. as we'll as the County
Commissioners association of the
state. will meet in Denver Friday.
May "a.
The state highway commission
has declared in favor of initiating
a bill to turn.these. road funds over
to that body. and is preparing to
have petitions circulated. These
petitions must be filed with the
Secretary OF State by July 3. and
contain 10000 names.
There Is a strong sentiment that
If possible. funds should be re-
leased to the counties this year.
The only manner in which this
could be done. Is through an ex-
ira session OF the legislature. To
initiate a bill would mean that the
funds would not be available I'M
til after January. 1918. which
would not be before the next legis-
lature meets.
Mesa county commissioners have
already gone on record as favOring
an extra session. and this Ii
matter which will probably be dis
cussed at the Denver meeting ON

Crop Of Hatreis Not Soon to
BE Forgotten

Whatever the full returns may
show, preference primary, as
the plan has worked in Massachus-
etts this year. is a first rate device
for splitting a party wide open
day. 1t is as If an army before en-.
gaging the enemy should divide
and inviting defeat on election
in two portions and fight ter
rifle battle. one-half against the
other. One does not need to be
a military man to imagine how
that would work in actual war
fare. The preference primary has
like effect in politics. The hat
reds and passions engendered are
too deep to be soon allayed. In
the heat of such a conflict as has
been waged in Massachusetts things
are said and charges made that
would inevitably weaken any party
and SO give aid and comfort to
the enemy. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft have stood up before the peo-
pie in Massachusetts,. and. in eff
feet, called each other liars. each
has attacked the administration of
the other. each has sought to per-
suade the people not to favor the
other in the primaries, yet both
OF these are republicans. II Mr..

POWERS WILL NOT LET
CONSTANTINOPLE EALL
Are Agreed That BulgafianS
Shall Not Be Permitted
To Seize Capital
(By Associated Press. )

LONDON. Oct 31.-whatever the re-
suit Of the great battle now waging be-
tween the Turkish and Bulgarian armies
in the eastern part of the Balkan PENN
sula, it's conclusion probably will give
occasion for Intervention of the Euro
pean powers.
In dispatches from Vienna it is as
serted that the foreign ministers of the
European governments have reached a
tentative agreement in this matter and
in any event the entry OF Bulgarian
troops into constantinople will not be
tolerated by the powers. Even Russia
is disinclined to permit such an occur
ence.
1t is also understood in diplomatic
quarters in the Austrian capital that
the Balkan nations already have made
known in an unofficial manner that they
are prepared to accept Intervention by
the powers at any moment now.
SYRIAN REINFORCEMENTS
Special dispatches from Constantine
pie say that the eastern wing of the
Turkish army, now bearing the brunt
of the battle with the Bulgarians. has
been reinforced by four Syrian army
corps.
The center of the Turkish army is
of picked troops, chiefly reg
ulars, as the reserves have been respon-
sible, in the opinion Of the Turkish war
office. for most of the defeats suffered
so far by the Ottoman troops, owing to
their liability to panic
1t is also reported in Constantinople
that a Turkish force has crossed the
River Martha, in the direction Of De-
hnotica, in order to cover the approach
of further troops from the west, down
the Arda valley.
1t is stated that the Turkish govern
ment has decided to send out the Otto
man fleet with orders to open a passage
for Turkish transports through the
Aegean sea to Salonika and Dedeag-
hatch
AVIATOR SHOT DOWN. =
Steps are being taken by the Turkish
war office to improve the supply service
of the army at the front.
The Russian Aviator Popoff, instructor
of aviation in the Russian army, was
the first air navigator to lose his life in
this waE He, with several others, left
Russia a few days ago TO offer his serv-
ices to Bulgaria While flying with his
over Adrianople he was
brought down by Turkish shrapnelI.
Special reports say he was killed.
The eastern wing of the Turkish
army at Visa was able to maintain its
ground at first against the Bulgarian
troops but could gain no success. ac-
cording to news agency dispatch from
Sofia. IN consequence Of the occupa-
ton Of Luleburgas by the Bulgarfans,
the eastern wing Of the Turks has been
to Serai and Istrandia, so
that the battle front, which yesterday
extended FROM Luleburgas to Visa now
lies across Tchorlu, Serai and Istran-
dia.

pressions given forth about that time,
but-the two self-explanatory cuts

GOVERNOR AC 7
MAY CLOSE STATE
INSURANCE DEPT.
Failure of Governor Brown TOT
Sign Salary Warrants Jeop-
ardizeS Existence of Recently
Created Insurance Dept,

The failure of Governor ]. M. Brown
to sign warrants for the salaries OF the
officials of the newly-created insurance
department of the state has endangered
the veryi existence Of that department
at least until there is another session Of
the legislature.
Although<a number Of able attorneys,
who are members Of the state legisla-s
ture, considered carefully the constitu-
tionaIity Of the law before it its passagel
was recommended. and despite the fact
that the governor himself affixed his
signature to the bill. after it was passed.
the states chief executive has refused
to sign treasury warrants for the off,.
Gals of the department until the att
torney general gives his opinion of the
constitutionality of the measure. which,
created the department.
:, The insurance commissioner. Comp
troIIer General William A. Wright, in a.
statement issued Thursday. said:
ST sincerely trust that the governor and
the attorney general viii resolve any
doubts they entertain as to the confstitu-
tionality of the section in favor Of the
law, thus obviating the possible necessity
of closing the department, and thereby
postponing the operations of this Inn
pOrtant statute until the next meeting
of the legislature
The section of the law, the CONSTITUTIONS
atty of which IS questioned by the gov-I
arnor and which jeopardizes the entirel
measure. is that which devolves the du-i
ties of the insurance commissioner on
the comptroller general and provides ex-'
ira compensation for the work.
Comptroller General Wright has given
