Des Moines Capital. Recent changes
in election laws have placed new re
sponsibilities on the newspaper.
When primary elections are called
there are usually multitude OF can
didates, the majority of whom are
quite unknown. Some of these men
are better known to the newspapers
than to anybody else. The public Is
growing to expect the newspapers to
fitch in, as they say, and tell the
voter what to do.
In southern states where there Is no
party excepting the democratic party
/ primary elections mean that there will
be no opposition at the polls to those
who win. Hence the fight in those
states is severe. The newspapers are
usually involved and the campaigns
are made up of bitter personalities

Surprised When Asked II She
Attended Church.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
DENVER, Colo. Dec. IA new I'M
petus was given to investigation OF
the Colorado coal strike by the United
States commission on industrial rela-
lions when Chairman Walsh returned
early today from secret trip to the
southern Colorado strike zone.
During his visit, he personally
studied conditions, interviewed strik-
ers, strike breakers, officials and en-
ployes OF the coal company without
the disadvantage of having any OF
them on the watch for him. He ate
dinner OF strikers fare at the Ludlow
tent colony and visited the coal camps
of Primero, Hastings, Delagua and
Forbes without his identity becoming
known. AS the result Of the trip It IS
probable the commission will have
opportunity to examine many new
witnesses and to delve into the pres
ent situation in Las-Animas county.
center of the strike field.
At Ludlow, Walsh went over every
foot Of the ground on which the fatal
battle of Ludlow was fought last
April. He talked to Mrs. Mary Pet
rucci who lost three children In the
black hole" Of Ludlow, and Mrs. Vtr-
ginia Bartelotti, whose husband fell
in the battle. Numerous strikers who
participated in the tragic trouble were
interviewed. The chairman watched
companies of strikers go through
their drills with wooden guns and
swords and he took deep interest in
the women and children of the camp
and their views. When he asked Mrs.
Petrucci if she went to church on
Sundays, she replied: Church? NO.
there's no God any more. No church
for us"
When the strike probe was resumed
today. 1t was expected President Vel
born of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Co, would resume the sand.
Meantime delegates to the special
convention of Colorado miners arrived
for the opening of the convention at
two o'clock this afternoon. More than
200 delegates are here. Reports were
current early today that th.e conven-
ton would call OF the strike This

WAR TAXES WITHOUT WAR.

Washington Post: Democratic lead
ers must feel sure of their ability 70
make plausible explanations to the
people of the country when they reach
| the conclusion that increased taxes
will be necessary to meet the treasury
deficit. Already most of the people
have felt the burden of the income
tax. Not merely those who have paid
the tax, but the employees of such per-
sons have felt the pinch.
Increased taxes are never good
political expedient. No matter how
hard the democratic leaders may try
to find way to make certain classes
stand the burden of the new taxes,
the expense will be passed along and
distributed until everybody feels some
of the Inconvenience.
1t is curious that rigid economy mas
not been thought of in connection with
the deficiency. 1t might not be pos
sible to save 500, oO0, 900, the amount
which will probably be needed, but
great savings could be effasted If con-
gress set itself to the task.
Certainly it will not be easy to ex-
plain 10 tHc VOteTS IudI luO uCiuoSh -
tic party could find no way of meet
ing the expenses of the government
other than the imposition of addition
al taxes. If this country were actual
ly at war it would not be necessary
for the party leaders to make expla-
nations. Now, however. they will be
compelled to give a detailed state
ment to their constituents. They will
be compelled to present the involved
explanation of the effect that the Euro.
pean war is having upon the COM
merce of the United States and upon
the revenue derived from the tariff.
An excellent opportunity will be
presented to the republicans. They
need merely cite the fact that the
democrats could find no way to make
income meet the expenditures except
by adding new burdens OF taxation
upon the people. This charge, made
against party historically committed
to economy, is apt to prove an inter
esting feature of the coming cam
paign.
The democratic party may have an
excellent explanation to make, but
nevertheless it will find itself on the
defensive.

Like tiny CLINT OF light piercing
through the dusty gloom,
Comes her little laughing face through
the shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as i
hears the patt'ring tread,
While her prattl.ng treble tones chase
the thoughts from out my head
She is queen and l her slave. one who
loves her and obeys;
For she rules her world of home with
imperious baby ways.
In she dances calls me 'Dear!" turns
the pages of my books.
Thrones herself upon my knee, takes
my pen with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns
my papers upside down,
Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from
fear of any frown.
Crumples all my verses up, pleased to
hear the cracking sound:
Makes them into balls, and then
filings them all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away. leaving me
alone again
With warmth about my heart. and a
brighter, clearer brain.
And, although the thoughts return that
her coming drove away,
The remembrance Of her laugh fingers
with me through the day.
And it chances, as I write, may take
crumpled sheet
On which, God knoweth why, read my
fancies twice as sweet
