Congressman Seldomridge is fair
counterpart of a former Republican
congressman-Warren A. Hoggott.
The latter thought he was the whole
cheese and above his party. Seldom
ridge ignored his party, especially in
Colorado Springs, where he endorsed
a man for postmaster almost outside
of the party organization, turning
down those who brought about his
first nomination and election. In
gratitude does not. pay. May win for
a short time but it's going to get the
man who proves traitor to his party.
Seldomridge has gone to join Hag-
gott, Sulzer and others of similar
stripe. You may talk as you please
about the late Senator Platt, but his
long control of New York state poll
tics was due to his strict adherence
to party pledges and party friends.
The man who gets too big for his
party advice does not last long.

STRENGTH NOT FULLY
DEVELOPED.

In long article on the European
war the Scientific American puts it
this way:
"The allies are still fighting, not so
much to win, as to keep from getting
badly beaten in these first days of
the war. Their full strength cannot
be developed before next spring, so
they are well satisfied with an even
break at present. So much have the
Prussian successes, against Austria in
1866 and against France in 1870, i'm
pressed the military men of all coun-
tries that the whole strategy of the
allies has been directed to avoiding
a knockout blow in the first rounds.
II they can force the combat to set
tie down to question of endurance,
there can be but one outcome. In
the beginning Germany's well-trained
and well-equipped men can Outright
largely superior numbers of their OPP
ponents. But before August comes
again the allies will be able to out
class them not only in numbers, but
also in armament, ammunition, and
tho accessories that add so largely to
the fighting power Of troops"

AMERICANS IN MEXICO In
SYMPATHY WITH CARRANZA

PUEBLO, Nov. 5.-Fred Star, of
Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico, was in
the city recently visiting his sister,
Mrs. Nora Williams. He has a large
ranch % miles from Victoria and
saw much of the fighting in the re-
cent revolution.
He declared that, when Venustiano
Carranza, then governor of Coahuila
state, started the revolution by de-
claring war on Huerta, Americans
along the border helped all they could
because they were in complete SYM
pathy with the purpose of the up
rising. The United States govern
ment, he said, placed an embargo ON
the importation of arms into Mexico
but Star declared it had little effect
and was more of don't let me
catch you at it" policy than any
thing else. Star himself transported
ammunition in autos for the use of
the Mexican rebels.
Star characterizes Gen. Francisco
Villa as a much abused man, a gen.
tleman and man who knows right
from wrong very clearly and prefers
the right. He is not brutal, as some
people imagine, Star declaring most
of the executions charged to Villa
never have taken place.

had not performed "real service"
for the people. Mind you, II it was
not for the solid south with its 12o
votes to overcome the president and
his policies would have been showed
under by an overwhelming vote,
therefore the small majority, coming
as it does from the solid south IN
both the house and senate, cannot
be taken as an endorsement but rath-
er a direct slap. The voters have
shown they do not approve of the new
tariff measure and the efforts OF
cabinet officers to fool them was of
no avail.
Two years from now the Progress
sives will be negligible quantity
and the Republican party will go back
into power by majority something
like that given the lamented McKin-
ley after four years of Cleveland poll
cies. Those who predicted the utter
downfall Of the Republican party two
years ago will have to change their
views.
