Now that the State Tax Commission
has been sustained by the supreme
court, Colorado voters can be remind
ed of the new plumage in the Demo
cratic hat every time they receive
notice of higher taxes to pay, and
the final receipt will prove an i'm
pressive reminder. About seventeen
percent is what the Tax Commission
ordered in the increase of Delta
county valuations. The increase over
the state will swell the states revenue
several hundred thousand dollars,
carrying the total for state taxes well
up to two millions. However, this
will be campaign year and the Demo
Gratis will need it all-and then some

There is quite lot of flapdoodle
talk in the newspapers about progress
sive" and "standpat" republicans get
ting together or not getting together,
When the time comes for a campaign
a republican success will mean the get
ting together of Republican voters, in
one way or another while a Republic
an defeat will explain that they have
not got together. The experience of
last campaign stands out in letters so
big and bold that all who run can
read There was enough Republican
and Progressive votes to give the usual
victory; there was not enough of
either to spell anything but over
whelming defeat. The Republicans
and Prograssives have got to get to-
gether when it comes to voting, in Or
der to win a victory, and they have
got to get together solidly. Whether
they will do it or not, this paper is
not prepared to say. What the Demo
cratic party is praying for and bank
ing on is, that they will not get to-
gether.

John Lief suffers Broken Arm.

John Lief Suffers Broken Arm.
John Lief, formerly of this city and
well known to every base ball fan,
having played base ball in Minot for
ten years or more, is now located at
Washburn, where he is agent for one
Of the elevator companies. John suf-
fered a rather peculiar accident early
in the fall. He had gone to the train
to mail letter, mailing it while the
train was in motion. He stumbled
over some object on the platform and
fell, striking his elbow on some hard
object. He thought nothing of it and
suffered no particular pain at the time.
The accident occurred right at time
when John was the busiest, and he
went back to the elevator and contin-
ued to dispense the 'long green" for
Mclean county wheat. The arm both
cred him more and more and finally he
consulted physician about it. The
doctor examined the arm and could see
nothing wrong with it, until an X-Ray
examination was made, which revealed
the fact that one Of the bones of the
elbow was broken. The arm was i'm
mediately placed in a plaster cast and
is doing nicely. 1t is the hope of
Johns many Minot friends that the
accident will not affect his perfect
"peg" to home plate from deep left
field, position that he always played
in dependable manner.

GAME CALLED

Game called. The days hot work is
dome;
The Player is a man again
And even as you and other men
Is grateful that his rest is won.
Game called. The bleacher's right
to groan
He purchased with a few poor
pence
Is forfeited Outside the fence.
The Player calls his soul his own.
Game called. The effort which they
cheered
Was good because they saw it win;
For failure is our only sin;
A stronger struggle-and they jeered.
Game called. And we have spent our
breath.
No more the mad mob roars and
frets.
The world turns from us and for
gets;
The Game is Life, the Umpire, Death.
Game called. An error or a hit?
Why, what to us are praise or
blame?
We only know we played the game,
Home beckons- the Lights are
