II Woodrow Wilson wants to make
GOOD, he had better get busy turning
tie rascaIS out down here in Florida
orr, putting Progressives in their
places Otherwise we warn him that
nc is going to lose the support Of
Congressman LEnglc, without which
his administration is likely to cut Il
very sorry figure, indeed. Claude
says he called on the president the
other day and found the White
House thoroughly permeated with
the atmosphere of the school room;"
that he absolutely cannot agree"
with the president unless the latter
should mend his ways. For heavens
sake, Woodrow, get busy, and let us
heve some offices down here, ere you
get in bad beyond redemption.

All the grocer and meat dealers
OF the city have signed an agreement
tc close their places Of business for
q half holiday each Thursday after
noon. The furniture and hardware
men have followed suit, as shown by
notice published today. We are glad
to see these folks have this time for
rest and recreation, and consider the
movement an excellent one. At the
same time we smile to think what
would happen if the Telegram should
announce it's intention of closing up
and failing to issue every Thursday
afternoon.

One good piece of work which it
looks like the Legislature will ac-
complish, is the submission OF an
amendment to TIE constitution au-
thorizing incorporated cities or towns
to amend their own charters by a
ycte of the citizens, without action by
the LEGISLATURE. This is the natural
and proper methol Of disrosing Of
ouch matters, being in the line Of
local sclf-government, and effecting
a tremendous saving of time and
money by relieving the Legislature of
tho necessity of considering the null
titudc Of local bills that occupy the
attention of the body the greater por~
ton of every session.

A Dark Picture.

A recent agricultural writer has
painted dark picture for the man
who already feels the pinch of the
high cost of the necessaries of life
and is lily prepared to endure still
higher prices He calls attention to
the fact that since 1908 the number
of dairy cattle in the United States has
been reduced from 21,194 900 to 20,-
699 900, while the strictly beef cattle
have suffered a much greater actual
and per cent reduction. Sheep de-
clined from 54,631,0 to 52,362,OOO,
and under the spell of the free wool
of the new tariff will, without doubt,
decline much more than that in the
next two years. Yet notwithstanding
the great falling off in numbers, the
total value has increased, COWS being
worth SS15,00O,000 in 1912, as COM
pared with s65O,OOO,OOO, the value of
the much greater number in 1908.
The other side of this picture is the
rapid increase in the consuming popu-
lation. While the cattle dropped 22
per cent in number, the population in
creased IL per cent This state of af-
fairs existed in 1912, during the cam
paign in which Democratic platforms,
orators and press were assuring the
people that the high prices would
come down with a free trade tarlf1
The people knew better by consid-
cradle majority, but unfortuitous con-
ditions gave the minority the power to
make things worse instead of better
1t is not merely from the side OF
the breakfast and dinner tables this
matter should be viewed. With the
shortage in cattle and sheep and their
higher price comes scarcity of lea
ther and higher prices for all leather
goods. Only few days ago prom
inent shoe manufacturer gave us warn
ing that shoes were going to cost us
more because of the rise in price OF
leather. We shall have to pay more
or take a poorer shoe for the same
price. All wooden goods must also go
up in proportion as sheep decline and
wool advances. Butter and cheese,
eggs and poultry will cost more. Even
cotton goods will advance, as farmers
turn from cotton and pay more atten-
ton to better-paying crops and live
stock. The day of profitable farming
seems at hand, but the profits Will
come out of the pockets of those who
are already finding them being empti-
ed by the high prices of things they
eat and wear The agricultural writer
advises farmers to grow more calves
horses, sheep and hogs, which is good
advice, indeed, for swelling the far-
mers' bank accounts, but it will take
a long time for them to grow enough
to bring down the cost of living.-st'

Steel Fence Posts.

For line fences, or permanent cross
fences, steel posts are much better
than wood or concrete posts. The life
of steel posts is very much longer
than wood posts. and when set in con-
crete they will maintain their align
ment indefinitely
The cost of steel posts is not high.
The line post will not exceed in cost
a good wood post. Corner and gate post
being heavier and longer than line
posts cost a few cents more than the
latter. Even these cost about the
same as heavy wood posts used as
corner and gate posts.
A good way of setting steel posts is
to fill in the bottom OF the post hole
and around the post, with six inches
of concrete. On top of this cake of
concrete fill in with dirt, tamping
1t well. Around the post at the ground
line fill in with six inches of concrete.
This method provides an anchor at
top of ground and bottom of hole
for the post.
One kind of post on the market re-
quires no staples to fasten the wire.
The fence is secured to the post by
means of tongue-like punchings on
the post. These tongues being bent

CAMPERS ARE CONVICTED OF
CAUSING FIRES IN RESERVE

In the case of the United States
VS.. Thomas Smith and Amos Smith
of Pringle, South Dakota, jury sitting
at Deadwood on September found
the defendants guilty of willful negli-
gence in the matter of allowing brush
fires to remain unattended and unex-
tinguished, resulting in fire cover
ing about two townships and the des-
truction of timber and other property
amounting to from twenty-five to thirty
thousand dollars.
The defendants were found guilty
on all three counts contained in the
Indictment returned by the grand jury
in the May term of the federal court,
as follows:
First: For unlawfully leaving and
suffering a fire to burn unattended
near timber, underbrush, grass, and
other inflammable material upon the
public domain.
Second: For building and causing
to be built a fire near timber and
OlHtl upon Tie
public domain and going away from
and leaving the fire without totally
extinguishing it.
Third: For willfully setting on fire
and causing to be set on fire timber,
underbrush, and grass on the public
domain.
The courts instructions to the jury
as to the law concerning the various
counts in the indictment are of con-
siderable importance to residents with
in the national forests. With regard
to the first two counts. the court in
structed the jury to the effect that
if the evidence in the case as present.
ed was sufficient to convince them
that the defendants had gone away and
left the fire burning unattended or
totally uneXtinguished near timber. un-
derbrush, grass, or other inflammable
material on the public domain, the Of
fence was committed as charged re-
gardless of whether or not the fire
was upon government or private
ground or whether the fire did actually
burn any timber or not AS to the
third count, the court instructed the
jury that in order to filf the defen
dants guilty 1t would M be neser
sary for them to determine thar they
had maliciously set the timber on fire,
but that they should be found guilty If
all the attending circumstances at the
such as to indicate that they had been
careless in building the fire, and as
result of which 1t was reasonable to
expect that the fire would spread to
the adjacent national forest.

Hog Legislation in Colorado

July 18th the law regulating and
handling the transportation Of hogs
in Colorado went into effect. This
law is in the interest of hog cholera
control. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture reports that sixty-six millions of
dollars is a comparative estimate for
the loss from this disease alone, in
the last twelve months. Unless this
new law is enforced to the letter we
may expect that the loss from hog
cholera next winter will be very
heavy.
After July 18th you cannot legally
ship hogs into Colorado, nor move them
within the state, without making affi-
davit (Which must accompany the ship
ment) that they have not been exposed
to the infection of hog cholera and
upon reaching their destination (un-
less for immediate slaughter) they
must be kept away from other hogs
for a period of eighteen days.
The hog raisers of the state, and
especially those in the Arkansas val
ley, are warned that if they do not
wake up on this hog cholera PROPOSE
tion and Systematically prepare to
combat it, hog raising will be precari-
Gus business during the winter
months.
After loss of several hundred
thousand dollars worth of hogs, the
San Luis valley got busy and controll-
ed the disease. Other infected locali-
ties can do the same thing. The new
law will help, but it must be enforced
and there must be active cooperation

Another style of posts is made OF

NOTES ON GEOLOGIC INvESTI-
CATIONS AT VARIOUS POINTS

E. s. Bastin, assisted by Chase Pal
mer, chemist, is investigating the ores
of the several mining districts in the
state with special reference to the
natural processes of silver enrich
ment.
The Red Mesa-Soda Canon suad-
rangle, situated partly in La Plata and
partly in Montezuma counties, is be-
ing examined it in detail by Nj. A.
Pistol, who will also classify the lands.
He will also prepare geologic folio
and an economic report on the miner
al resources of the region.
A metallographic study of the ores
with reference to their origin and con-
ditions of association in the Silverton
district will be made by B. F. Laney.
These Investigations are being con-
Quoted Jointly by the survey and the
federal bureau of mines.
The mines of the Holy Cross district
will be examined by F. C. Schrader,
and the oxidized zinc ores of the Lead
vile region will be studied in the field
by G. F. Loughlin, in company with
Prof. j. d. Irving, who has nearly COM
pleted the unfinished work of the late
S. f. Emmons on the ore deposits of
the Leadville district. The manganese
ores of this region will be examined
by d. F. Hewett
The Monument Butte and Lay quad
rangles will be really mapped by E.
T. Hancock, who will also classify the
land in the area with special reference
to the occurrence of oil and coal.

The Enemy of Society.


The great need of the human race,
less in this country than in any other,
but a need here as well, is a proper
conception of the dignity of labor The
struggle of mankind has been to avoid
work. 1t has been to put the drudgery
of life on somebody else and we see
more of this business today than was
ever known before. Tolstoy has well
said that as soon as we can make
somebody do the unpleasant work we
do not want to do we then look down
upon them and regard them as of
different class. Lack of sympathy is
the chief cause of human injustice and
of human misery. We repeat that
what the world needs is a proper con
ception of the dignity of labor.
Our education is at fault If it separ
ates the idea of intellectual progress
from that of moral advancement Most
generally our children are taught that
they should get an education in order
that they may escape work that seems
unpleasant. Education will not be a
blessing to the world, but a curse in
stead il it lifts man above the willing
ness to toll. The most important
thought that can be put into the mind
of any child is that his education is
to enlarge his capacity for work, not
to relieve him from the necessity of
| toiling We find in the cities young
men earning small wages where they
can wear good clothes, keep their
hands clean and do a work that is
considered more respectable, when
they might earn larger wages If they
were willing to bear a greater share
of the manual labor of the world Not
only do they escape from manual
labor, but they miss the physical de-
velopment that such toll brings.
We find young men upon the farms
taught that, if they manifest little
brightness, If they are a little more
ambitious than those about them.
they should look to the law, to medi.
cine, to journalism, to the ministry,
or to politics-that they must get
away from the farm. We see a little
progress towards making our farm
homes more inviting but men should
learn that the farm with all its toll
and drudgery gives them a position
where they can be independent and
give their children an environment
that attributes to stature and charac-
ter. We believe that we shall only
be doing our duty to ourselves, to our
fellow man, to our country and to pos.
terity when we emphasize the fact
that it is the idler and not the man
who tolls who is disgrace to society
The mother who mas daughter ap-
preaching womanhood's estate can

that she ought to be more willing to

earned The father can do his duty
and can help when he teaches the
son that he is more proud of him when
he sees him at work trying to become
