think about doing the necessary
work this year.
A large gang Of pipe layers
nave been engaged in extending
the six inch main beyond the High
School block during the past
week. The main will serve the.
seven new houses that have been
built beyond the High School re-
Gently.
There are many causes for fail
ure, but the most common one in
Winslow seems to be lack of ap-
plication. Others call it laziness.
We offer our best wishes to all
who are interested in education
for Happy and Prosperous New
Year.
The new cast of the Freshman
is hard at work committing the
lines of that play. The date for
the play has not been set as yet,
but it will be some time early IN
February if the plans do not mis-
carry.
The dates Of the University
Extension lectures were recently
received. The topics that they
will lecture upon are all of vital
interest to the community, as
they deal with municipal prob
lens, along the line which the.
Local Commercial Club is work
ing.
Plans are being made at the
present time for the second story
of the High School Building. It
is anticipated by the local Board
of Trustees that there will be
available funds for the erection
of the addition in the near fu-
ture. No bond issue is contem-
plated, it being felt that with the
funds due from the State for the
maintenance of the Industrial
Courses that there will be suffici-
ent to do the work needed.
The Semester examination
schedule was posted on the bull
letin board the last of the week.
There were quite a number
who were exempted from certain
examinations due to the fact that
they had maintained the high
average Of 80 percent during the
past half year.
During the coming semester,
Advanced Algebra will be in
charge of Miss Powell; and Plane
Geometry class will recite to Mr..
Cornelius.
The half year beginning class
in the First Grade will be organ
lied by Miss Clymer on the 18th
day of January. Any child who
is six years old or whose birthday
comes before the 1st day Of May
will be eligible to entrance to this
class. All parents who desire to
have their children enter this
class will take them to Room 2,
North Grammar School.
Arhor Day circulars were re-
Gently issued from the office
of the State Superintendent Of
Public instruction. Instructions
concerning the proper observance
of the day and suggested pro-
grams were included in the book
let.
The examinations for certifi-
Gates in Domestic Science were
held in the High School building
last Saturday. There were two
for this type of State
Certificate.

ANOTHER WAR.

There is another war in the strike
zone, says the Pueblo Chieftain. So
far no one has been killed, but bitter
words are passing back and forth.
This fight is within the ranks of the
United Mine Workers. The gang
which promised to deliver the votes
of that organization to Patterson,
Keating, Kenehan, Brake and the rest
of the bunch find that a certain lot
of Socialists, who have their own
ticket in tn, field, refuse to be deliv-
cred. The Trinidad Free Press, the
organ of thu, miners union, is having
spasm. 1t is denouncing and con-
demning the Socialist leaders because
they will not fall into line and do the

RETIRE DISLOYAL CONGRESS-
MEN.

| A most important election will be
held in little more than month, at
which Colorado is expected to array
itself on the side of law and order
and the strict enforcement of the law
governing the rights of citizens,
which are the main issues before the
people, and all good citizens should
be very much interested. They should
not allow the events transpiring on
the other side of the Atlantic, five
thousand miles away, to absorb their
attention % the neglect of matters
right here at home which directly af-
feet them. Colorado must no longer
be subject to the humiliation and dis
grace which have been visited upon
the state the past year by murderous
law-defying strikers.
There are other issues involved in
this years campaign which are of al
most equal Importance. Congress-
men, and members of the legislature
who will elect United States sena-
tor, are to be chosen. Two years
Iago, through the activity of a man
who had received unparalleled hon
ors and emoluments from the Repub-
Ilican party, a Democratic president
and a Democratic congress were
cIrS ----..It Colorado rom
ltributed two United States senators
and four congressman. These sena-
tors and congressman misrepresented
their constituents by voting for the
passage of the Underwood tariff bill
and did all they could do to destroy
three of Colorado's leading industries
sugar, wool and metals. The plea
that they were forced to vote as they
did through party rules and party
caucuses doesn't mitigate their of
fense. Colorado was made to suffer
for their disloyalty to her interests.
| These misrepresentation in con-
gress should be displaced at the earl
lest possible moment by men who will
stand up for Colorado and prosperity
through thick and thin. The people
will have an opportunity in Novem-
ber to select a Republican United
States senator and to elect four Re-
publican congressman who will go
down to Washington and do all they
lcan to right the wrongs inflicted up
on the state by Senators Thomas and
Shafroth, and Congressman Seldom
ridge, Heating, Kindel and Talor.-

Patterson was the adviser of Cover

that he was close to the governor at
all times. The Democratic party had
no word for the governor but stands

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The election take splace three
weeks from today and from this
until the close of the polls those most
interested will interview the voters
regarding their intentions this fall.
From state standpoint we feel there
is no question. To us it is foregone
conclusion that the voters are very
sick of law violation and are for
cleaning up the elements that have
made the state the laughing stock of
the entire country. In other states
they have strikes and disordcrly con-
duct for a time but it Goes not last
long for the reason that those in au-
thority place sufficient men in the
field to preserve law and order and
those guilty are punished. Here in
Colorado even some of those holding
office advocated open session and
for siding in with the element that
shot down our militiamen, Brake was
nominated for secretary of state.
Therefore, we say, we feel there is no
doubt regarding the election of the
Republican state ticket. In this we
are more than pleased because we be-
lieve supremacy of the Republican
state ticket is of more Importance to
the people as whole than any other
thing that could happen. True, every
candidate who runs for office is de-
sirous of being elected, but each one
of the county candidates will admit
the state issue is supreme. However,
the Republicans have placed before
the voters of La Plata county ticket
that should command the support of
the voters-Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. In connection with the state
ticket Harry McDevitt is part and
parcel as he will be in a position to
aid every taxpayer because we know
he stands for repealing the useless
boards and bureaus created by Gov.
Shafroth so he could place his favor
ties in office for political purposes,
not for the good of the state. The
capitol building is overrun with tax
eaters and it is the intention of the
Republican party to make cleanup
and reduce the running expenses of
the state government.
In the course of the next week or
ten days we expect to go fully into
the merits of each one on the Repub-
lican ticket, at this time simply call
ing attention to the general splendid
composition. We want the voters to
study the qualifications of the men
and women who are running as Re-
publicans.

SENATOR THOMAS, THE ARTFUL
DODGER.

Senator Charles S. Thomas is the
artful dodger on the question of law
and order in Colorado. When this
state was in the throes of revolution
and anarchistic leaders boldly defied
the constitutional authorities of this
commonwealth, Senator Thomas made
no attempt to defend Colorado
against the agitators at home and
the muckrakers in the east. When
he visited Denver last week and
made speech in the Auditorium, this
city, he still lodged the question.
Mr.. Patterson discussed state is
sues, and Senator Thomas confined
himself to national questions and
problems, except that he patted him
self on the back in voting for free
sugar and handicapping the other
Colorado industries in supporting the
Underwood tariff bill. Senator
Thomas in his speech not only in
dorsed his own free-trade heresies.
but that II the question could come
up IN the same way, said he would
"do it again."
Now you who believe that an equit-
able protective tariff is essential to
the prosperity of Colorado industries

TO WHICH ALL SHOULD AGREE.

Under the heading $50 the People
May Know" the Denver Post has an
article which we feel should meet
with the appreciation of every free
born citizen who is not totally tied
TO the interests or some political
scalawag who is afraid of exposure.
Should the initiated measure pass it
would mean goodbye to graft and
other exposures and the public would
be at the mercy of few scheming
politicians and grafters. The article
in question follows:
''ln the past there have been many
important proclamations issued under

lieve that this proclamation is the
most important that we have ever

HENRY WATTERSON
ON TEDDY'S TRIP

Louisville Courier-Journal.
First and last the Courier-Journal
has devoted deal of space to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. 1t has extolled him
as a personality and lashed him as a
politician. Here in Kentucky, the
gateway to the south, when he has
come with words of affection on his
lips, it has welcomed him with open
arms as blood kin; and there at Wash
ington and at Oyster Bay, scheming
for third term, it has warned the
country against him.
A law unto himself, he has always
been deaf to counsels. From Corio-
lanus to Pompey, from Antony to
Rienzi, from Bonaparte to Wilhelm of
Prussia-for to the historic compan-
ionship of these he belongs and must
be assigned-mental isolation was a
personal idiosyncrasy. Thence, and
chiefly thence, each owed the collapse
and failure which met him, and ever
meets such men, usually berore the
natural end of life is nearly attained.
1t is best described as the gamblers
spirit; discomfort with sufficiency;
unwillingness to let well enough
alone;; perpetual striving; never
ending thirst after excitement. 1t
adds to the interest of their lives. 1t
gives to the narrative an air of ro-
nance.
1t is pathetic to see Theodore
Roosevelt racing up and down the
country yawping to crowds of the
merest sightseers that heed him little
| if at all, and grow less curious as he
grows more commonplace; splitting
The very ears of the groundlings with
the shrill refrain of partisan twaddle

he sat down in his own home with
quiet dignity after his African adj
venture and European ovation--dis-
daining personal issues and making
controversy with none-he would to-
day be the foremost figure of the uni
verse, turning wistfully from war to
peace in quest of leader; respected
at home, heralded abroda; newly
risen Cincinnatus of the west, honor
ed by all the world and trusted by
every nation. Heavens! To be a
strolling player tagging superfluous
upon the stage, wandering minstrel
of exploded political platitudes, sans
influence, sans popularity, sans ev-
erything! Even those who personally
dislike Woodrow Wilson cannot help
contrasting the prescience, fore
thought and self-control of the presi-
dent that is with the feverish and
frivolous, self-exploiting activities Of
the president that was. 'Tis strange,

they are coming to Colorado, not as

they are coming to Colorado, not as
individuals, but as members Of po-
litical party to uphold the doctrines
and the practices OF that party. They
come to secure an Endorsement of the
administration of which they are
part. They desire, particularly, that
the people of Colorado shall set their
approval upon the acts of the pres
ent Democratic congress.
1t appears quite probable that the
course of the Colorado delegation in
congress has been so pleasing to the
administration that it is sending out
two of its biggest guns to help in
their reelection. Messrs. Thomas and
Seldomridge and Heating and Taylor
have proven to be such good Demo-
Gratis and so useful to the admins
tration in Washington that the ad-
ministration seeks to repay them by
sending two of its best speakers to
help them out.
But, unfortunately, while these can
didates have proved so useful to the
administration, they have been Of lit
| tie or no service to the people OF
Colorado. A few postoffices here and
there have been filled and few citi-
zens of Colorado have received ap-
pointments. But the masses of the
people of this state have been injured
rather than helped by the presence OF
these men in congress. Their voice
and their vote have always been given
for Democratic policies regardless OF
the effect of these policies upon the
people who sent them to Washing
ton. They have proved faithful Dem.
ocrats, but unfaithful representatives
of Colorado. Every other section OF

sIDEsTEP REAL ISSUES.

Many thousands of Democrats
throughout the state are beginning to
wonder whether or not the Demo-
cratic party, as represented by such
men as Patterson, Kenehan, Brake
and the like, is not thoroughly asahm-
ed of the accomplishments of the par
ty during the six years in which it
has been in complete control of all
government in Colorado.
This is evidenced primarily by the
actions of the Democratic state GEN.
tral committee in laboriously sidestep-
ping every issue of the campaign
which might concern the state af-
fairs. 1t was necessary for them to
call upon the Democratic president
and proclaim thereby to the world
their inability to deal with the af-
fairs in Colorado. The Democratic
administration came to their aid by
sending federal troops to Colorado,
thus, as George A. Carlston, Republi-
can candidate for governor, charges,
they placed Colorado in the hands of
a federal receiver.
Having received this aid, they are
now attempting to use the national
administration as a cloak for the mis-
takes of the past. They are planning
to wage their entire campaign on ma
tional issues. This effort is being
made to cover up the record of the
men they have named on their ticket.
Loyal and patriotic Democrats in
all sections of Colorado are not being
confused with the issues thus raised
by these men claiming to be Demo-
Gratis, and who now head the ticket
of that name. AS matter of fact.
so disgusted are they, that an organ
ization is contemplated by these
same men in order to bring before
the voters, and especially those Of
the Democratic faith, the true issue |
in this campaign, namely, state SOW |
