AN EFFECT ON POLICY.

Occasionally a spread eagle piece
appears telling how American indus
tries have an opportunity to develop
during the war, and that new mar
kets are being opened for American
goods, says w. Y. Morgan.
But the fact is that American in
dustries are having a hard time and
are not enlarging or reaching out af-
ter new business.
The reason is easy to understand.
If you had million dollars would
you invest it in a factory to make
a line of goods which was formerly
produced in Germany or Belgium and
is now cut off by the war? Of course
yof wouldn't. You would say that the
war would some time be over and
that then the cheap labor abroad
would bust your American factory
SKY high. The policy of our govern
mcnt now is not to develop Ameri-
can industry but to buy stuff wher-
ever it is produced the cheapest, re-
gardless of the wage of labor. With
that policy staring you in the face,
you would not invest dollar in an
9 .smpt to build up business for
which the war has made a demand.
The only industries in America
wh'cl this war stimulates are the
raising of food products which armies
must have. Every other line of busi-
ness except mules is bound to suffer
from the disturbed conditions and the
economic policy which would put
American labor into competition with
cheap labor beyond the seas.

The legislature and state admins
tration elected on November 8, last
were placed in office on platform
OF economy and, so far as we know
it is the purpose of those elected to
do everything in their power to re-
duce the expenses of the state gov
rnment. But it is not very easy
task if the legislature responds to the
numerous demands made upon it and
many of which are reasonable.
For example, few days ago, the
chamber of commerce of Boulder met
with the legislative delegation in that
county and all agreed that they would
make concerted demand and effort
to secure larger appropriation this
year from the legislature than they
have had before. They appointed
committees to get to work immediate
ly upon this proposition.
For some time past, the people of
Pueblo have been demanding another
wing or building for housing the in
sane. The Denver Post is aiding their
cause and declaring with large, red
ink headlines that it is shame and
a disgrace that the insane of the state
should be huddled together and i'm
properly housed and cared for.
Our own state school for deaf and
blind is also in the field with request
for another building to cost perhaps
100000, They are certain that this
is needed quite as much as improve
ments at any other institution.
And thus the demand goes on. Very
many worthy objects are bound to be
submitted to legislatures and other
bodies having power of appropriating
money, and yet if these demands are
all granted, it will be quite impossi-
bic to have what will generally be
known as an economical administra-
ton. In the securing of appropria-
tions, the rule seems to be "every man
(or institution) to himself and the
devil take the hindmost.' .'-Colorado

What A controversy over the

many hundreds of thousands have
sung it without knowing who wrote
1t, and for how many decades? No
popular song has had more endur-
ing popularity. They were singing it
seven years ago, when Polk was

POSSIBILITIES OF PEACE.

To the market reports, rather than
to the news columns, many close OBJ
servers of world affairs are accus-
toned to look for the earliest fore
cast of coming events.
Recent differences from the market
pages suggest that the possibilities
of peace may be better than is appar-
ent to those new writers who are ac-
customed to recognize facts only af-
ter they have actually come to pass.
Whether it is only the numbing
touch of winter that slackens the zeal
of the combatants along the trenches
in France and Poland, or whether
there is some impulse Of impending
huce. no one but those deepest in the
secrets Of European diplomacy has
any reliable knowledge.
Peace need not wait until one OF
the other of the combatants is ex-
hausted to the point of non-resistance
Peace must come when the people
of the nations involved become con.
WINGED that the continuation Of wal
can bring no possible compensation
for its necessary cost.
That was the actual situation wher
the war began. War came because
the nations could not recognize the
situation.
For = limited time only will the
