On Being Vice President

Now that Mr.. Wilson has told us how
it feels to be President, it would be
interesting to have Mr.. Marshall tel
us what the sensations of a Vice-Pres-
ident are. Psychologically, the posi-
bilities of the Vice-Pdesident must
profound. They must be guessed, PEI
haps, by what we have had from Roo
inson Crusoe, an occasional monk, and
other persons whose lot it has been to
be cut off from the world.
Mr.. Wilson says he never sees any
thing about himself in which he rec
ognizes himself. What, then, must be
the nominations of the Vice President,
who never sees anything about himself
at all? 1t has been said that there is
no hell for a woman like being with
cut a looking glass. Mr.. Marshall's
life, mirrorless as it is, must be some
thing like that, Moreover, the Vice
President has more time for thought
than the President has. He is not SC
busy His deductions ought, therefore,
to be much better thought out-much
richer and deeper. We must hear from
him.

MORE "GRAPE-
JUICE" DIPLOMACY

(Keating in Washington Letter.
Did you read the returns from Maine?
1t wasn't safe to speak to a reactionary
for week after the wires had told the
story of Democratic triumph.
A few years back the Democrats used
TO figure that if they were not beaten
by more than Is, 900 majority in Maine
they had chance to carry the country.
The thought of carrying the. state was
indulged by only the most unreasonable
partisans, and always caused their
friends to question their sanity or So
briefly.
1t is therefore worthy of note that on
Tuesday, September Is, the Democratic
candidate for governor of Maine was
elected with 1000 votes to spare and
that he and his colleagues made their
camp4jgn on the record of the national
administration.
While millions of men are numbering
each other in Europe, and President
Wilson is lying awake nights keeping us
out of the melee, the Great Commoner
is devoting his energies to the perfect
on and ratification of the most remark
able series of peace treaties ever pres
ented to Christendom by first class
power.
There is nothing complicated or mys-
terious about these treaties. They are as
straightforward and honest as the man
who drafted them.
They provide that when this country
becomes involved in serious controver-
sy with another nation there shall be no
armed clash until all the issues in dispute
have been submitted to an impartial
tribunal for investigation and report. A
year may be consumed in this work.
This affords "cooling-off time. Ma
tiOns are very much like men. If they
will only consent to talk matters over"
they seldom fight.
l saw the Colonel the other night after
he had signed the treaties with France,
England, Spain and China. The famous
Bryan smile was very much in evidence.
"Think of it,, he exclaimed, "the
representatives of twenty six nations,
representing two-thirds of the inhabi-
tants of the globe, have signed these
treaties. And we have been at work on
them less than one year!

WE HAVE a PRESIDENT.

We like to feel that Woodrow Wilson
expresses in his own personality the
good genius of this country.
The Presidents service to the nation
within the past few months has been
sufficient to make an entire four-year
term notable.
War with Mexico has been averted
through patient statecraft that persisted
despite criticism, abuse and lack of
faith.
A strike of trainmen on ninety eight
Western railroads has been prevented
by the agreement of the contending
parties to arbitrate. This strike would
have been catastrophe at any time; in
view of other complications, it would
have been .immeasurably worse at this
time. Credit must be given to the men
and the managers for agreeing to get
together, but this was not brought about
until the President had enteredth nego-
tiations.
The placing of American business con-
ditions upon basis where the European
disorders can affect them little ID at all
was at the instance of and with the CO.
operation of the administration, which
is also to be credited with fathering a
currency law that will prove most effiic-
lent in the present situation.
In the last three or four months it
would have been distressingly easy for a
Presidential blunderer to embroil or
embarrass the United States. We have
come through with credit and clean of
unworthy compromises or entangling
alliances.
Thank God we have President. =

INSCRIPTIONS, untruthful and un-
principled Republican orgars are
charging the Democratic papers with
being coersed or bribed into support
ing the Democratic ticket through
state patronage. This charge is false
upon the face of it from the fact that
this printing naturally goes to Demo-
cratic papers-just as naturally as
Democratic papers, willingly, faith
fully and conscientiously support
Democratic tickets. If the hungry
Republican editors could only be
truthful to the extent of stating the
correct amount to be received for
this printing, the Democratic editors
might forgive them in misleading the
public, but when they place the sum
at double that which will be received,
no rebuke or censure is too severe.
Some of the Republican newspap-
ers of the state are trying to make
political capital out OF the dilemma
in which the foreign war has placed
US, regarding loss OF revenue on i'm
ports. They seem to think 1t strange
when we are at peace with all the
world, that we should be called upon
to raise revenue to meet this un.
avoidable loss. In 1907 when we had
the most bountiful crops ever given
to man, and all the world was at
peace, few financiers under Repub-
lican rule plunged a peaceful coun-
try into tie thraldom of despair
through financial chicanery, and these
same papers acquiesced in the great
losses sustained by the American
people.

PRESIDENTS SUMMER HOME.

The sentiment that is now permeat-
ing the state regarding the building
of presidential summer home >on
Mt. Falcon in the Rocky mountain
foothills, should be encouraged by
every resident of the state. Wash
ington is visited annually by HUN
dreds of thousands of visitors, whose
main object is to see the historic
'Whitehouse, the winter home of our
president. And Colorado would have
many visitors from this and foreign
lands to visit this palatial chateau,
built of white Colorado marble for the
summer residence of the chief execu-
tive of the greatest republic the
world has ever known. This struct-
ure will stand at the foot of our rug
ged and everlasting peaks, whose
slowly gathering shadows are cast at
sunset of departing day, far to the
eastward, over waving fields of grain
and Towering alfalfa, forming a pam
Drama most beautiful to behold as
the gathering shades of twilight as
semble in our heavily powered and
secluded glens, where the mountain
lion and catamount hold nightly rev.
elry. Out from this tangled labyrinth
of dense flora that paints the land
scape in indescribable colorings, rises
this beauteous structure of art, its al
abaster purity cleaning in the SHIN
mering paleness of the moon, as she
slowly rises, softening the deep shad-
ows of the night.
With the destruction of many of
Europe's attractions by the war now
being waged, the sightseeing trav-
cling fraternity that has been accus-
toned to spending their summer sea-
sons abroad, will return to our noun
tains for pleasure and recreation.
Now is the appointed time for the
people Of the whole mountainous re-
gion of the far west to unite with
Colorado in promoting this enterprise
that will be sure to bring the tour
lists from eastern cities, who have
heretofore spent their summers
abroad. We should also turn our at
tention to good roads over our noun
tain passes and along our range of
foothills, that the traveller may er-
joy that comfort found among the
mountains of Switzerland.
