The western farmer dislikes the
coyote, and a bounty is offered for
its pelt; the result Is that the coyotes
have greatly diminished. But, eaya
the Portland Oregonian, the killing OF
the coyotes has resulted in a great
increase of rabbits; many expert.
ments have been made to diminish
their number by inoculating them with
disease, but without satisfactory re-
suits. Rabbit drives" are the only
sure remedy; 16, 900 jack rabbits we're
killed in one county in Oregon ID
this way last winter.

Of that brotherhood scattered over Eu-
rope-the friends of Hortense; it was
an officer who had protected her years
before at Dion.
So for a week they lived side by
side with their enemies and only a
few feet lay between the Prince and
capture, for his room was next that
of the Austrian general. with but a
double door between. It was a life
OF momentary anxiety, for the Queen
feared each time the invalid spoke
that they might recognize a mans
voice: when he coughed she turned
white. But at the end of the week
Louis was at last we'll enough to go.
He was to leave Ancona disguised as
one OF his mothers lackeye, the young
Marquis Zappi was to put on another
livery, and over the frontier they were
both to change and be the sons OF
Hortense travelling on the English
mans passport.

A BANKING LESSON.

Where is the biggest bank in the
world?
Not in America, which long has
held monopoly on most of the big
gest things, but in Russia.
The Imperial bank of Russia has
deposits of more than 5000, 1000, 900.
Lloyd's bank in England ranks close
second with more than $5OO,OOO, 900
The Bank Of England, most famous
among such institutions, is eighth in
the list, contrary to public opinion
and it is not until we reach the sew
enteenth in the list that we find an
American bank, the National CITY
bank of New York.
The Statist furnishes the data from
which we quote, says the Denver
Times.
In the fifty biggest banks in the
world are included eight in New York
and two in Chicago. 1T is little
surprising to find the Canadian Bank
Of Commerce placed several inches
higher than any American institution

ALL THE SAME COLORADO.

Before leaving for Colorado for the
summer, William Allen White predict
ed that the progressive party vote
In Kansas would be light because
there are no contests for the progress
sive nominations. There will also be
another contributing cause to the
lightness of the vote, which Mr..
White did not mention. That is, that
the Republican party in Kansas has
been progressive for many years and
a large percent of those who voted
Tor Theodore Roosevelt for president
In 1912 have never considered them
selves anything but Republicans. They
are for progress but they believe that
real progress can best be obtained in
the party that has given the nation
more progressive legislation than all
others put together.-Salina Journal.

WILSON REFUSES TO
NAME A SUBSTITUTE

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
''The senate must take the RESPONSE
biiity for an incomplete bank reserve
board. The president is determined
to stand or fall by Warburg and will
not nominate any substitute for him."
This position was unofficially outlined
today. 1t is the last word of the
White House in the controversy which
caused almost complete split be-
tween the president and the leading
Democrats of the senate. The SEN
ate's banking committee decided to
report unfavorably on the Jones nomi-
nation and postpone indefinitely
Warhurg's nomination.
Tumulty this morning conferred
with James, Lewis, Shafroth and
Hughes, who are leading the admin
istration fight in the senate. They de-
clared the senate will probably con-
firm Jones' nomination. It has ben
suggested that the president has
friends in the senate who will move
to discharge the banking committee
for its consideration of Warburg's
nomination, bringing it back to the
floor. This motion will probably be
defeated as many senators, who per-
sonally favor Warburg, still insist
upon upholding Senatorial courtesy"

OBJECTS 10 BEING INsULTED.

Pueblo Chieftain.
The question of whether Colorado
shall remain wet or be voted dry is
one that will be on the ballot There
fore, it becomes political issue and
the Chiftain is not interested in
either side of the controversy. We
do object, however, to being insulted
together with all other newspaper
publishers in the state, with the
statement from the press agent Of
the dry that the paper that publishes
Ithe advertisement Of the vets has
been bought" Space is the only
thing we have to sell. No reputable
paper gives it away, and we have as
much right to accept pay for properly
used space advocating the wet side
Of the question, as we have to accept
space from the baking powder con.
Germ for extoling the virtues of that
particular baking powder. The press
agent, the numerous lecturers and
others working for the dry cause, are
being well paid for their services. Oul
advertising space is far sale-it car
be bought by both vets and drys, and
we hold that so selling the space does
not commit US to either side of the
controversy. This is the position
which every newspaper in Colorado
should take.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

"The farmer plows his acres and
sows his prunes and wheat, that seers
and other fakirs may have good food
to eat. To him all city dwellers must
look for daily bread, and clerks and
paying tellers from off the land are
fed. The bishop and the broker send
to the soil for grub, the thinker and
the joker and every other dub. And
should the sturd ytiller some season
cease to till, where should we get the
filler our famished frames to fill?
But there is little danger of such
sorry fate; the horny-handed granger
will never hesitate. He tolls in SUNNY
weather, and even in the rain, to get
his crops together and sell the same
for gain. 'Tis gain which keeps all
workers in fields or in the town, from
out the paths of shirkers, which
might have pulled them down. So
while the farmers gather the price
Of motor cars, or keep it if they'd
rather, to salt away in Jars, we shall
not lack potatoes or fruit or kippered
oats, or corn or ripe tomatoes to save
our sundry goats. We only need to
hustle, like those who grow the rice,
and by such process rustic the kale
to pay the price. From the Pastoral
Poems of :. Retired Plowboy.

NONE WAS LEFT TO TELL.

In recent dispatch. the thirty
q shth anniversary Of the humiliation
Of Clusters command by the Sioux, an
account of the events leading up to
u battle was given by George II.
" elch,( farmer who in 1876 was a
tt ooper in the Seventh cavalry. In
u dispatch it was said that only
ore man who participated in the Gus
ter fight survives--Curley, Crow
II dian, who was one of Clusters
SC outs.
The story that Curley the Grow
Participated in the battle on the Lit
II, Big Horn has been told many
times, and just as often denied, says
tie Denver News. AS far as history
records, only one living member of
Crster's squadron survived the fight.
Tne survivor was horse, which was
wounded many times, but which re-
covered and was cared for tenderly
by the men of the Seventh until it
d I'd of old age. If the scout Curley
he'd been an actual participant in the
battle, the war department would
have something definite today about
tie fight for it's records. Every ef-
fort has been made to get the true
story of that days conflict, and every
effort has failed.
Cyrus Townsend Brady probably
has spent more time than any other
n an in trying to get at the truth of
what is known as the Custer mas
sacre. "The Yellow Haired Chief
tain," before advancing into the val
leg where he met his death with all
his followers, had detached Majors
reno and Benteen, each with a squad
ron ito advance by the flanks. Ben
teens force was turned back by i'm
passable country, and it joined the
force of Reno just in time to save the
latter from Custer's fate. Custer
went to his death with nearly 300
men. No one knows to this day the
tue story of how it all happened.

THE OTHER SIDE; BELIEVE If
YOU DESIRE.

That the railroad companies form
erly ran twelve or fifteen car freight
trains through Independent, Kansas
using "teapot" engines, where they
row run fifty or sixty car trains to
handle the traffic, using mogul en-
gines, was a recent comment of the
Independence (Kan.) Reporter. "Yet,
commented Editor Knox, "the rail
roads say they never were so hard up
as now. What is the trouble?' That
question left an opening for J. F. Far
rell, publicity agent of the Santa Fe
who showed up the next day with an
answer, and "craved the indulgence >
etc, of the editor to the extent of a
couple of "sticks" to set readers right
on the subject. The Santa Fe man
did not crave in vain, and here is his
answer, as it appeared in the Re-
porter: at simply is a case of burn
irg the candle at both ends. The
main trouble is with the net earnings
with the increased cost of living,
| if you please, for the problem con-
fronts the railroads the same as it
does the people. Since the days of
the teapot engine, the cost of every
thing that the railroads have used in
construction, operation and mainten-
ance, including labor, has increased
lsteadily, while the rates charged SER
vice have been hammered down con-
stantly. No merchant, farmer, manu-
facturer nor other business man will
hesitate to say that practically ev-
Ierything he has purchased in the last
decade has increased in price-except
transportation-nor will he be inclin-
ed to question the statement that the
railroads have had to pay more and
more all the time for the things they
buy. The difference between railroads
and other lines of business activity
is that the railroads get less for that
which they sell, while those in other
kinds of business are permitted to
add to the price every little while to
overcome the increased cost. By in
creased efficiency-larger cars, larger
engines, better roadbed, heavier rails,
modern terminals, etc.-the railroads
have been able to increase their vol
ume of business, but have not been
able to increase their net earnings, ON
account of the increase in their ex-
penses. The showing of low earnings
is not trick in bookkeeping to de-
ceive the public. The interstate com
merce commission employs an army
of experts to work on railway ac-
counts for the purpose of ascertaining
whether books are correctly kept, and,
to the credit of the railroads, few err
rors have been found"

PROTECTING THE DEMOCRATS.

Efforts of Louisiana Democrats tc
prevent the wholesale detection OF
their members to the Progressive par.
ty have taken an amusing turn, ano
It may soon be "agin the law" for
an erstwhile Jeffersonian of that
state to attempt to vote Bull Moose
ticket. 1t appears that a good many
Democrats have been going over to
the Progressive camp lately, the list
including three former members of
the Democratic state central commit
tee, seventeen members of the low
er house of the legislature. and two
Wilson electors, both of whom are now
Progressive county chairmen.
To stem the tide of revolt the Dem
ocrats introduced two bills in the leg
islature. One requires voter on be-
ing challenged, to swear that he is
voting at the primaries the ticket he
voted at the last election. The other
measure provides that nobody who
mas changed his party affiliation can
vote at primary unless the change
took place at least two years before
the primary.
The Democrats who concocted these
interesting bills fancied that they
were thereby preventing members of
their party from joining the Progress
sives. But in the course Of the de-
bate somebody made the discovery
that they were playing with a two
edged sword, for II the laws made 1t
hard for = Democrat to become a
Progressive. they made 1t equally
hard for q one-time Progressive, or
Republican ranks. One Democratic
leader denounced It as "a scheme to
punish political independence and per-
petuate the Progressive party"
The plan, Of course. is too absurd

WEST VIRGINIA WILL LEARN.

Pleased with the passing of sa-

tmistically announce that they anti

OF the new state wide prohibition law.
But their bright young dream doubt
less will be shattered soon enough.
Quietly and without fanfare of trum-
pets, the bootlegger, the joint, the

club will invade the new Sahara, and
the attorney general will have his
hands full. The old order changeth,
but slowly, and the booze business
des hard. Prohibition undoubtedly
prohibits, and the West Virginia law
VIII, in time, be regarded as a bull
wark and palladium, but the price of
it enforcement is eternal vigilance,
and even then there will be violation
and evasion to some extent. Until
men are educated to the folly of the
flowing bowl, il is likely to flow to
some extent, and men will be cheer
ed and inebriated, and wander home
In the cold gray dawn, singing like
hired man. But the number and
frequency of such exploits will be re-
dnced, even in West Virginia, which
has large colonies of foreigners, dis
posed to regard free and unlimited
guzzling as vested and inalienable
right. These probably will cause the
most trouble, as they do in Kansas,
for it is hard for them to reconcile
prohibition with the we'll known
theory that this is land of liberty.
Since a genuine attempt has been
made to enforce prohibition in this
state, the great struggle has been in
the mining district Of the southeast
