PATRIOTIC PURCHASES.

While the made-ln-America move
ment is getting under way, bit OF
made-in- Germany advice, not intend
ed for American consumption, his
reached this country, and with some
slight variations, it could be adapted
with advantage to this country. The
advice in question is letter that has
been sent out by chambers of COM
merce throughout the German empire
for the purpose of stimulating inter-
est in building up home commerce
and industry. The same spirit that
prompts the German to seek to
strengthen the business of the Fa-
therland should find ready response
on the part of Americans who wish
the same things for their country and
who are willing to buy American made
goods in preference to all foreign
makes. The German letter advises:
/. In all expenses keep in mind
the interests of your compatriots.
2. Never forget that when you buy
foreign articles your own county is
poorer.
3. Your money should profit no one
but Germans.
A. Never profane German factories
by using foreign machinery.
s. Never allow foreign eatables to
be served IN your table.
6. Write with German pen on
German paper and use German blot
ting paper.
7. German flour, German fruit and
German beer--these alone give your
body the true German energy.
8. If you do not like German malt
coffee, drink coffee from the German
colonies.
8. Use only German cloth for
your dress and German hats for your
head.
10. Let no foreign flattery dis
trict you from these precepts, and
be firmly convinced that whatever
others say. German products are the
only ones worthy of citizens of the
German fatherland.-

cratic party in Washington, he would
do it.
Colorado needs help in Washington
and it is clearly to be seen that 1t
may not look for anything from the
present Democratic delegation. When
they set foot in Washington they i'm
mediately seemed to forget that there
was such place as "back home," but
now they have come "back home"
seeking votes.
Our brilliant but erratic senator
was as usual wrong on nearly every
subject. Colorado cannot afford to
keep him in Washington to make
speeches in behan of the Democratic
party.
Colorado needs man in the SEN
ate who will stand up for Colorado
when she needs help.
A man who will do this in season
and out of season is Hubert work,
one of the strong men of southern
Colorado, man who secured the al
most unanimous vote of his county OF
Pueblo for the nomination. His neigh
bors think well of him because they
know him to be a man who. is able
and upright, a true friend of Colorado
and her industries, man who has {
practical knowledge of the needs o
the state and a representative wh'
will try to represent, not politica
party, but the people of Colorado.
Hubert Work is the man who is pre-
eminently qualified to be the mex
senator from Colorado. = Colorado

DEMOCRACY AND THE VANISH
ING PAYROLLS.

The Democratic administration has
a good deal to answer for in the
present straits in which the country
finds itself. On the Atlantic seaboard,
in the large cities, there are hundreds
Of thousands of men out of employ
ment, more than at any time in re-
cent years. While it may be fair to
charge part of this to the European
war, and the dullness in business con-
sequent therefrom, yet it is not Who'll
ly due to that. 1t is due to the de-
preston in business in our own coun-
try, because of the uncertainties of
Democratic legislation.
The Underwood tariff has done
nothing thus far to justify its exist
ence. 1t has not decreased the cost
Of living, but has deprived our own
business enterprises of millions of
dollars worth of trade and given it
to Europe The average American
manufacturer does not know at this
moment what tomorrow will bring
forth from the Democratic congress,
therefore, he hesitates as to how to
proceed.
If the country had been operating
under Republican tariff and with
all our shops and mills going at full
speed, we should be supplying our
tuoftif,a 70
business in Europe. Congress has
not alone hammered the business en-
terprises in this way, but it has
brought the railroads to the point of
bankruptcy by decreasing their busi-
ness and refusing to allow them a
fair compensation. The result is that
these concerns have added many thou
sands to the unemployed.
One thing the Democratic party
does not seem to understand is that
when it fights and throttles and ham
pers business enterprise, it is also
doing gross injury to the workmer
employed in that concern. When il
deprives any business of the power tc
make money-just SO surely does il
cut the heart out of the payroll o!
that enterprise. When business is
prosperous, it has good, steady pay
roll-when times are dull, as they al
ways are during Democratic admin
istrations, then the payrolls suffer
and there are thousands of unemploy
ed from one end of the land to the
cther.-Colorado Springs Telegraph.

News bulletins, compiled by the
census bureau on the condition of
the negro in the United States show
a condition that should be highly
gratifying to the colored race in
many respects. For instance, the re-
port shows a decrease in illiteracy
and in the death rate, indicating
more attention to education and bet
ter sanitation. 1t shows, too, that
the negro has made great progress
and success in agriculture, three
fourths of the negro population of
the country living on farms or in
small villages. The work of Booker
t. Washington and leaders of his
class is doing much for the better
ment of the colored race in general
and the report compiled from the re-
cent census data is quite encourag-
ing.

A recent news note conveys the in
formation that the expenditures for
pensions are beginning to decrease.
To nation Of people, grateful for
patriotic service rendered in time
of dire need, this will bring thought
of sadness, for it can mean but one
thing, and that is that the ranks Of
the Civil war veterans are being rap
idly thinned by time. The service
they rendered in war was a great
cne and the service rendered by
many of them in peace has been no
less patriotic or important to the
country. So while there arc per-
haps few who will look upon the
decreasing pension roll as = saving
to the government, loyal people ev-
erywhere will forget that In the loss

WHY RoApY DID NOT COME.

There is q most encouraging sign
among the Democrats of Pueblo coun-
ty. For several days it was adver-
tised that their campaign would be
opened here by T. NJ Patterson and
Roady Kenehan, but when the night
for the "monster" meeting arrived
only Mr. Patterson put in an appear
ance; only Mr.. Patterson spoke; only
Mr.. Patterson explained why the
Democratic ticket should be elected
in Colorado, and his reason was that
it was the duty of every Democrat to
Sustain President Wilson," And all
the time where was Roady? Where
was the man who, as state officer
by the grace Of the Democrats, did
all within his power to encourage the
men who were openly defying the
constituted authority of Colorado, and
encouraging rioting in the coal fields ?
No Roady came to town; no Roady
appeared at the meeting. The fact is
the Democrats of Pueblo county did
no want him, and openly and frankly
told him he must not appear here on
the platform with their candidate for
governor because it would lose the
entire ticket a great many votes.
And what the Democratic organ
ization thinks of Roady Kenehan the
rank and file of that party in the
state think. 1t is, in fact, slur on
the party to have his name appear
on the ticket as one of its members
| He is loud-mouthed, boasting, in
efficient man who, by playing to a
certain element, came to the front
politically. He will by no means Sc
cure the cmocratic vote of Pueblo
county; nor more will Patterson
Brake, Thomas and Keating upon the
same ticket. Their acts in the past
have condemned them in the eyes OF
the people of Colorado and they are
far from being in good grace in their
own party. 1t will be a happy day for
Colorado when the voters retire them
to private life.-Pueblo Chieftain.

A new construction has been
placed on. the order regarding
strike breakers by the war de-
partment.
While the United Mine Work
ers officials have given out no
statements, there seems to be
general dissatisfaction with the
new construction placed upon the
original order.
The first rule made by the war
department said that no man
should be employed as a strike
breaker who was not a resident
of the state. This rule was no
obeyed by the operators ana
when investigation Of complaints
against the practice of import.
ing large numbers of men was
made by army officials in the dis
trict they secured affdavits from
mine officials and scabs only.
The new ruling says that any
man who comes to Colorado to
make this his home can 90 TO
work. With mems that the OPP
orators can import all the seabs
they need.
The fact of the matter rs, as t
authorities in Washington have .
ready discovered, that the only vs.
to please the striking miners is

A CHANCE FOR THE AIRsHIp.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A great deal of comment growing
out of The German capture of Ant
werp is the merest speculation. Only
the men who planned the movement
and conducted the assault are capable
Of telling US just what they propose
doing with their victory. The short
ness Of the siege, as we said imme-
diately following the surrender,
probably ended forever the old habit
of confining thousands of troops in
fortified cities which it is hoped to
hold for long periods of lime against
besieging forces. That most impor-
tant contribution to the science of
war the Germans may already claim
as result of their Antwerp victory.
Even the laymen can see this much.
AS to immediate, or near, military
results, the newspaper writer's who
are dubbed expert" vary widely
in their conclusions, as they always
do, for the excellent reason that none
Of them really know any more than
any other one of them.
Their nearest point of agreement
"a in the opinion that Antwerp will
be used as base for aerial war
fare to be directed against London.
But why only against Lonron, or, at
least, why against London first? If
| Antwerp can be used successfully
as Zeppelin base, it would be nat
ural to conclude that the most i'm
portant use of the great balloons
would be against those transport
ships, and their conveys, which
about this time, must be getting nu-
merous in crossing from British to
Belgian, or French shores. That
would appear to be the most clearly
indicated use Of a great Zeppelin
fleet, operating around Antwerp as 8
base. Dropping a few bombs in Lon
don would be child's play compared
with the important work of prevent
! ing Great Britain from landing hel
large army of newly drilled recruits
on the south shores of the Englisl
channel.
In such an undertaking would com,
the first great test of aerial warfare
The two months campaigning ha.
not impressed us overmuch with tn,
value of this arm of the service Of
any one of the armies now in tn,
field There have been daring ex
PLOTS, admirable in the highest de
gree. There have been most heroic
sacrifices of fire by men knowing thai
they were going to death. But ther,
has been nothing counting for great
results in'war, and least of all do W,
like the dropping of bombs in cities
not under siege. We must avail
some deed of magnitude in order t,
be able to appraise the value of ali
craft in warfare. Let Zeppelin fleets
blockade the English channel agains
British warships conveying British
Transports filed with British troops
and then we shall know that the air
ship has become a mighty arm ot
Mars. And then we shall know, too
why Germany wanted Antwerp.

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Let us not forget, in the midst of
the heated struggle between Congress
man Seldomridge and Andy Adams.
that there is United States senator
to be elected to succeed Senator
Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas glorics in the fact that
he is Democrat first, last and all
the time, and that to him the interests
and policies of the Democratic party
are first, and the interests of the in
dustries of Colorado are second. He
makes no bones of the fact that if
called upoE again to vote against
Colorado at the behest of the Demo-
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-10-29

which the concern was plunged two
years ago, have been invited to join
in the formation of an Anti-Thomas
club in order to revenge themselves
upon u. S. Senator Charles Thomas
who was president Of the company and
whose connection with the concern
led hundreds of small capitalists to
buy the bonds it issued.
Thomas did not perform his duty
to the shareholders and the owners
Of the bonds, but merely posed as
| the executive head of the directorate
was the cause of hundreds of persons
in all parts Of the state, and prin-
cipally in Denver, investing in the
bonds, which were, in fact, something
| of the nature Of shares in build
| ing and loan association. There is
reason to believe that many of these
persons never would have gone into
the business If it had not been that
| the name of the former governor and
present senator was connected with it.
Those who did paid well for their
faith in Thomas. Bonds that had
been purchased in monthly INSTALL
ments wrung from the wages of
scores of hardworking persons until
their investments ran as high as ST.
900, were, when the collapse occurred,
practically valueless and the received,
when he closed IN the affairs of the
concern, could only pay from two to
ten percent upon the amount of the
moneys paid in.
The company was formed in 1903
and was organized to do business
along old-fashioned building and loan
association lines. Its bonds, in four
classes were sold on installments, the
appeal being made to wageworkers to
invest because of the surety of the in
vestment Funds arising from the
sale Of the bonds were invested in
municipal bonds ard in real estate
mortgages, and dividends were paid
for while. Thomas was made the
president on account Of the drawing
power Of his name, but he apparently
gave not the slightest attention to the
affairs Of the concern.
Gradually there was no new bust
ness to be acquired, and in 1912 re-
ceiver was asked for by a man who
had invested in several Of the bonds
and who had discovered that the com
pany was unable 10 meet his claim.
During its lifetime the company's
receipts were upwards of 1887 900 and
its disbursements were less than two
thirds of that sum in dividends. Ex-
penscs were extremely heavy and
when the receiver was asked for the
company was admittedly bankrupt
and prepared of its own volition to &c
into liquidation.
In all the proceedings, which make
a volume in the office of the clerk
of the district court. Thomas does moi
appear once as having performed thu
duty required of the president of s
corporation, neither does he seem tt
have gone to the front to defend th'
management or to have lifted fin
ger to save some of the money en-
trusted TO his care by his confidin'
patrons. There are in the list o
creditors, mainly holders of the bond
the company disposed of, several hun
dred men and women, apparentl,
wageworkers, and few persons o
| greater means, and these persons ar
the ones who will be urged to form
the Anti-Thomas club, which vii
work to defeat the senator at the No
vember election.
