No More Panics.

be passed at this session;and with
this measure in force the days
of artificial panics will be a thing
of the past.
In this connection the letter oil
congressman Keating, published
last week in the Herald, was
timely, and right to the point.
1t is known that panics are
manufactured. BY our present
system Wall street is the center
of credit. When Wall street
says panic" why panic it is;
and when the N. "A. MS join the
Wall street interests, then it is
that millions of workingmen are
converted into tramps.
By the Wilson, Bryan bill Wall
street will go out of business as
a credit or distributing center,
and the U. S. government will take
it's place-and that will be the
end of panics.
Isn't that good news to the peo-
pie?
The Springfield herald., 1913-09-12

Congressman Edward Keat-
ing, of Pueblo. is home after a
busy session in congress. AL
though this was his first term,
Mr.. Keating has demonstrated
beyond any doubt that he is one
of the most capable men ever e.
lected by the voters of Colorado
to represent them in national
affairs. His methods have been
an object lesson to office holders.
Everything that he has done he
has explained fully to his con-
stituency. He inaugurated a
unique system of sending week
ly letters to all of the principal
newspapers of his district in
which he gave the people plain
unbiased story Of what had been
going on in the lower house, in a
manner possible only to an ex-
permnced newspaper man. keat-
ing has added many warm
friends to his already large list
in Las Animas county by reason
of his record thus far and he has
earned hearty welcome home.

The N.-A.-M. folks, standpat
republicans, and Wall-street pan
ic makers, have been finding out
ever since Wilson became presi-
Cent, that when they want to
beat him they have to get up be-
fore breakfast; and that even
then second best is the highest
place in the score that they can
take.
Strange as it may seem, there
is evidence of the fact that a plot
was Matched between the above
named malefactors of politics and
great wealth to have the N. A :
M. S to close their shops. while
Wall street would pull the purse
strings to precipitate panic
purely for political purposes.
But as usual they found presi-
dent Wilson right on the job.
The democrats were called in

MODEM JOURNALISM.

That the editor of the Herald
isn't up to modern journalism is
Ievidenced by ~the fact that he
hadn't thought of the best way
of everlastingly demolishing the
other feller: and we are wonder
ing that of our many exchanges
there is only one that is utilizing
this modern weopen of nihilat-
ing destructiveness.
In fact it seems to have been
left for that one paper to have
made the discovery of the double
lens-type method of pulveriza-
tion. A thousand years ago they
wouldn't have thought of that;
and indeed only one with an ex-
traordinarily fertile cerebral soil
could have brought forth such a
monumental conception.
To put the name in type that
would require a composite micro
scope to be seen, is a master
stroke of genius. 1t is at once
crushing. grinding, paralyzing,
and finally obliterating; and had
it's origin in the labyrinthal pas
sages of a brain OF stupendous
originality and capacity. under
IL high-steam pressure of hot
house methods of productive
ness.
It's a wonder it wasn't utilized
a-thousand years ago, and that of
the millions of newspapers now
published there is only one of
sufficient inspiration to have
thought of it and to make use
of it.

Editor Jones is boosting his
ready-print service. We used
ready prints four years, and new
er once during that time did we

would be in order here to get
one on brother Jones by saying
tie patent side of it is the best
part of his paper; but we won't,
because it isn't. We have an
idea, though, that the only time
editor Jones reads his patent is
when he wants to talk about it,
and we don't believe his readers
are interested in it even to that
extent.

Our congressman.

The one thing to be admired
about congressman keating is
that he has the courage of his
convictions.
Either a coward or a dema-
gogue would try to curry favor
with the wool and sugar inter-
eSts of the state; but against the
prejudices OF those interests he
stands up and tells them just
what he thinks.
He rightly believes that prices
can be showed down on farm
products just as easily with a
tariff as without it, and that wool
and beets are already down to a
free-trade basis, while the finish
ed products are on the market at
protective prices.
Colorado has cause to be proud
of its representation as it can be
rightfully said that there isn't
another state in the Union with
four bigger men in congress
than our two senators and our
two congressman at large.
Shafroth and Thomas are two
big men, and Tay lor and Keat-
ing are two more. These men
are standing up and telling what
they think. and are willing to
abide the consequences.

1t has been about eight years
since the editor first heard of a
dry farming congress; intact dry
farming itself was first heard of
about that time.
The first impression of the dry
farming congress was that farm
ers out in this rainless belt
were coming together to tell
how to get out of the country
after they had inadvertently
gotten into it.
But, instead OF that they
came together and told how to
farm with little moisture to raise
crops; how indeed to make one
drop of moisture go as far as
three or four or a half dozen had
gone before.
1t was a new gospel of farm.
ing that was being preached, and
the gospel spread until today
the theory of dry farming has
become very generally a. matter
of every day pratical ,itility.
And the congresses have col-
tinued to meet and elaborate on
the various methods employed
and suggested.
Just now the biggest congress
of all is booked for Tulsa, Okla,
to be a kind of congress nor
NAL. for Oct. 22nd to Nov. 1st.' !
1t is international in scope, and
delegates will be present from
every country on the face of the
globe.
We shall have more to say of
this congress latter on.
