In order to make any community
prosperous and the people happy each
one must do their part towards that
end. The San Juan basin contains a
lot of the progressive make up and
will not listen to drones and back num-
bers. Every town and community has
the pushers who stand for progress.
There is now no necessity thinking OF
quiet times; let each one do their part
and all will be smooth sailing. Prompt
payment of bills makes easy times and
the habit of keeping money in the
bank when one owes it, after receiv-
ing the benefit, is the cause of "hard
times" It will come back again after
I has discharged its functions that
is what ncrey is for Cut out any
comments about quiet business days
should any occur. There is plenty
to do for all and 90 ahead and do vt
the best you can and the country will
be the better for it and having you

"The people of Europe are amazed
at the attitude of this government in
removing the tariff where it will have
a tendency towards the destruction of
important industries" said Werner q
Reed, banker and oil operator, upon
arriving at his offices in Denver after
three months stay in Paris. "Es-
pecially do they find it difficult to
understand why we should take the
tariff off of sugar since that indus
try is still protected in measure by
subsidies in Germany, France and Au-
stria," continued Mr.. Reed. "Anothe,
thing which they can not understand
is why every time any business
achieves a big success in this country
there is sure to arise opposition to il

who called himself Lamar we're not
punishable under existing laws. There
is an old saying cited by lawyers
where there's wrong, there's remedy.
Is it possible, then, that in spite OF
the incessant grinding of our legis-
lative mills the statutes Of the ma
tion and the state of New York fail
to cover such pernicicous and shame
less acts as Lamar boastfully testified
to before senate committee?
At least one New York paper has
been calling attention to section Of
the criminal code which, in its judg-
ment, covers some Characteristic La
marisms. However, that the law does
not adequately provide for such Of
fenses is admitted very generally.
Hence the bill proposed by Senator
Cummins, which has sections directed
against certain new forms of lobbying
as well as against false impersona-
tion of federal legislators or other
officials in letters, telephone conver-
sations or otherwise.
Several sound and desirable anti
lobby bills are now before congress
The need of remedial legislation has
been sufficiently demonstrated. The
abuses of the franking privilege
should be ended; registration and pub.
licity should be required of lobbyists
who appear to represent certain in.
terests. Attempts to use improper in.
fluence should be punished, if posi-
BILE. Doubtless there are forms of in
sidious lobbying and of taking ant
opinion manufacturing that cannot bt
reached by statutes, and something
will always have to be left to the
sense, the honesty, the courage, Tx
independence of the individual legisla,
tor. Still. this is no argument against
the adoption of well-considered ant

SENATE COMMITTEE
CONTINUES QUIZZING

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 15.-
Colonel Mulhall today resumed his tes-
timony before the senate lobby COM
mittee and identified letters and tele-
grams, most of which have already
been published. The fact that the Ma
tional Manufacturers association in
1908 sought to become factor in the
presidential race, was revealed.
Secretary Schwedtman of the as
sociation wrote Mulhall in September,
1907, saying "You saw where Taft
referred to the National Manufacture
ers' association at great length in his
Columbus address. If now we sue
coed in getting council plans thor
oughly established, then our power
for good will grow right along, until
next year. During the presidential
campaign we will be factor of ma
tional importance that can not be
overlooked"
Mulhall said that under Secretary
Cushing's administration the methods
were so secretive that names were
never mentioned, but Vice President
Sherman was No. 8, Representative
Littlefield 8 and Mulhall himself IL
In one letter introduced it instructed
Mulhall to go to Cleveland and de.
feat Tom Johnson for mayor. Mulhal
said he did so in 1907, but evidently
is mistaken as johnson was reelected
in 1907, but was defeated in 1909.

PRESIDENT INTERVIEWS
TO PREVENT X. r. STRIK E

WASHINGTON, u. c., July a.
President Wilson is determined to pre-
vent the general eastern railroad
strike, and has granted an interview
with correspondents when he returned
from his vacation at Corning, N. H.
He declared he will not permit a
strike.
When Wilson arrived here he de-
manded all documents bearing on the
case, but refused to state his plans.
This afternoon the president and
Secretary of Labor Wilson conferred
with representatives of the railroads
and trainmen, prominent congressman
and senators. 1t is probably before
the end of the meeting they will agree
on an amendment of the Erdman act
providing for governmental mediation
in railroad strike troubles. Then it
would be compulsory for the railroads
and trainmen to reopen negotiations
looking to a peaceable settlement of
the threatened strike.
