PUEBLO BANNER REPUBLICAN
COUNTY.

The way in which Pueblo county
voted this year must be source Of
great qualification to every lover of
law and order and of the Republican
party. Pueblo gave $500 majority
TO George Carlson and gave $500 ma
jority to Hubert Work. Ben Griffith
got 412 votes and E. P. Costigan 535
votes, which shows that the Progress
sive party is far behind the Socialists
in the county Of Pueblo. Indeed,
about 90 per cent Of the Progressives
in this state seem to be in and around
the Pixies Peak region. but they are
growing fewer every minute.-Colo-

NOW FOR 1916.

"It isn't any trick to be good
prophet, If you only know how, SO
far as forecasting election returns
is concned," says the Kansas City
Journal. "The prime requisite is an
abiding faith in the good sense and
patriotism of the American people.
Sometimes that faith is sorely tried,
and yet it has been regudiated sur
prisingly small number Of times since
the Republican party first provided a
foundation for it. Those who counted
confidently on the judgment of the
American people seized upon the cleo
ton Of Woodrow Wilson by plural
ity vote as the most encouraging
augury of Republican success in 1914,
and as q practical assurance of Re-
publican victory in 1916. They began
prophesying before the wires were
cold that licked off the news of Taft's
defeat by Roosevelt. They have been
prophesying ever since with con-
tinued and increasing confidence, and
they will start afresh this morning,
with text in every line of the returns
from Tuesdays election.
From all over the country, with
here and there sporadic instances Of
Democratic success, due to local issues
and other incidental causes, comes the
story Of wisdom regained, of the
downward march halted, of the silly
chasing after fad reforms checked, of
the about-face movement leading back
to prosperity and Repghlicanism. The
old leaders are being returned to
power; the new leaders are being
repudiated right and left. The people
are showing in unmistakable figures
that they are emphatieally tired of
the conditions which inevitably fol-
low the inauguration Of Democratic
policies. The Democratic organs anil
orators made desperate effort all
through the campaign to minimize
and obscure the tariff rs an issue in
the contest, yet the most substantial
gains made by the Republicans were
made in the great manufacturing dis
tric.s--in New England. New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey; in the
gieat middle west, with its combina-
tion of manufactures and agriculture
wherever the lesson Of disasterous
competition with foreign producers
withort even compensation revenue
or reduction of the cost of living
was brought home to the voters.
"The people appear to have been
convinced at last that something more
must be done to make the country
prosperous than harass those who
protpered under Republican policies.
They have been able to see that pros
psrity and Democracy are irreconcil-
able and that "war tax" in time of
pexce cannot hide the economic fail
urs mad danger Of Democratic poll
cies. At their first opportunity they
have rcpudiated the Wilson admins
tration and all the Fundamental eco
nonic fallacies for which it stands.

Latest returns show a plurlity of
only 1887 for Thomas which may be
further reduced. For all intents and
purposes this is sufficient to return
Thomas to Washington the coming
six years, but it's left handed en-
dorsement as with two Republicans in
the field he lacks over 10000 of hav-
ing majority. One thing about the
Democrats, they stick together, while
Republicans throw away success by

HENRY KRUMPANITZKY
is LAID TO REST

The remains of the late Henry
Krumpanitzky, who passed away in
Mancos Monday, were laid to rest in
Greenmount cemetery this forenoon.
The regular funeral service was held
in Mancos yesterday. Last evening,
the widow of the deceased accompan-
led the body to Durango.
This morning at 10 o'clock Rev.
Green conducted brief service in
the Ames G. Bradford undertaking
parlors. Following the prayer, he
paid beautiful tribute to the one
who had gone to the other side, and
his beloved brother Adolph, who is
at deaths door, and whose passing is
momentarily expected. He designat-
ed them as men who were the soul
of honor, honesty and integrity. The
speaker cited many places where they
had held important places in the life
of the community, mentioning es-
pecially their connection with the
knights of Pythias lodge. Rev. Green
stated in his many years as a mem
ber of the order he had never met
two men as well versed in it's works,
adding if the rituals of the lodge were
all destroyed these two brothers could
easily have reproduced one from men,
ory, and their lives exemplifed the
orders teaching in the ideal way.
The pallbearers, chosen from menu
bers of the order, were Henry Scou-
ton, A. Farley, VIM. Wickline, Frank
Balster, Charles Snyder and Thomas
Hamor.
The following obituary notice was
included in yesterdays service:
Henry Krumpanitzky, who passed
away at his home at Mancos on Mon
day, was son Of Herman and Mary
Krumpanitzky and was born in Brown
county, Indiana, in Novemsy s4s,
and raised in the town Of Fnlhklin,
same state.
He came west in January, 1868, and
located in Jerseyville, ILL.,, and from
thence to Trinidad, Colo. He came
to the San Juan in April, 1880, and
settled at Animas City, and from the
latter place removed to Mancos, where
he resided until his death. In 1899
he was united in marriage to Miss
Grace Cobb of this city. In addition
to her he is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. S. W. Raymond, of Durango,
and Mrs. Pack, of California, and
two brothers, Matt and Adolph
Krumpanitzky. He was a member
of the Knights of Pythias and of the
San Juan Pioneer association.
He was stricken with Myetities last
April and never regained his health,
having been practically an invalid
from that time until his death.
The local members of the X. Of P.
lodge attended the service in body
and accompanied the remains to
Greenmount cemetery, where Prelate
X. M. Murray conducted the service
according to the ritual. Four mem
bers of the Mancos lodge, Messrs.
George Carr, J. E. Ptolemy, Elmer
Coston and Rev. Green, came over
for the burial.
Mr.. Krumpanitzky was man who
will be greatly missed by all who
shared his acquaintance. On those
of his own household the blow falls
very heavy, and to them, the heart
felt sympathy of hundreds of friends
is extended.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
There has been a marked improvement
during the past week or two in both the
amount and the character of the Ger
man war news that comes out of Ber-
lin. 1t has value because it has been be-
ginning to give with distinctness the
German versions or points of view, and
because it enables all readers, in this
country, with fair and open minds, to
make close and corrective comparisons
of the accounts which come from any
of the allied countries concerning the

belated after having been revised or
which the intelligent portion of the Lon
don press has been protesting in vain.
From Petrograd-the St Petersburg
that was-there has been an abundance
of dispatches, but many of them have
been far more enthusiastic than ac-
curate in their pro-RuSSian color ng, and
a lively note of exaggeration has run
through them all. Even more untrust-
worthy has been much, if not most. OF
the news from Vienna. BY far the best
reports, in the course of more than two
months, have been those which have

The Most Important War Tool.

Much has been said since the COM
mencement of the war in Europe about
the effect of new weapons and devices
for military effects, exceeding in value
all the old war implements. AS the
campaigns progress, however. the fact
becomes more and more evident that in
this contest the tool of greatest value
has been the spade. In repeated dis
patches occurs the phrase that the
force dug itself into secure positions"
Immense trenches have been cut
through the fields Of France, miles in
length, some of them SO deep as to
constitute veritable houses for great
numbers of soldiers, with space for
sleeping as well as for fighting. By
means of such trenches the Germans
were enabled to withstand the repeated
allied assaults along the line of what
was styled the battle of the Aisne. for
several weeks In today's reports it
is stated that the British troops worked
forward to a position of strategic i'm
portance, and then cut trenches two
feet deep and held their own there.
Without the spade or improvised in
trenching tool the soldier in the field
would be helpless. So deadly is the
fire of modern artillery and rifles that
the exposed man is an almost certain
mark for the enemy. He must hide
himself wholly or in part to. stand a
show on the battlefield. OF course
there comes a time when he must rise
and rush forward. The bayonet has
not been eliminated from the fighting.
despite all the high-power guns and
long-range rifles with their fiat ira

featured the battles of this war from
the outset, and in the final pinch the
