Of $27O for horses which comply with

Of S270 for horses which comply with
their specifications.
No such price has been, is being
or will be paid, according to the state
ment yesterday Of man who has
made a business Of supply belliger-
ent nations with the munitions of war
for many years. He closed contracts
yesterday with the French and Brit
ish agents in this city for 100000
head Of horses, but he has no idea
OF delivering them until next spring,
or later.
Those governments are paying from
s180 to $170 for horses that will
stand the test for cavalry and artil-
lery service. That is the price paid
to the farmer or breeder, the contrac-
tor and the foreign governments
sharing in the expense of delivering
the animals at the seat of war. 1t
is expected that each horse will cost
the governments an average of $270
by the time he reaches the line Of
battle.
Farmers and breeders have been
led to believe that they would be Of
fered $270 each for their horses. Pre-
liminary inquiries by purchasing
agents have resulted in the informa-
ton that the farmers and breeders
are holding their horses at that fig
ure, while before the war the same
animals sold freely in the open mar
ket at S100 to $3.50.
Unless the farmers Of the United
States consent to sell their horses at
$160 to $170 the French and the Brit
ish will go to South America for ami
mails. This determination was reach
ed in the city yesterday when the
purchasing agents learned that the
United States breeders and farmers
had placed, perhaps through misun-
derstanding, prohibitive price upon
their horses. Cable messages were
sent to Buenos Ayres yesterday ask
ing about horses.
Agents of the foreign governments
will make tours Of the horse breed
ing sections of this country in Novem-
ber and December and if they can
purchase the horses at the prices
stated they will take them over ut
once, paying cash. At certain con-
centration points, like Chicago, Kan
sas City and Denver, there will be
French and British army officers to
inspect and accept or reject the ami
mails, but the rejected animals will
be loss to the purchasing agents
and not to the breeders.

THE GRAND OLD
REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Grand Old Party "came back
yesterday on the rum" A majority
of over 100000 in New York state
for governor, and equally great ma
jority for Senator Penrose in Penn
sylvania, together with other Republi-
can victories, spells the complete re-
turn of the Republican party to power
in 1916. Speaker Joe Cannon, that
stalwart Republican is also among the
victors. The decline of the Progress
sive party is apparent everywhere,
and the corresponding rise of the Re-
puplicans is just as evident. 1t is
great and glorious victory and
means much for the future of the
country.-Colorado Springs Tele-

Col. Harvey, the noted and versa
tile editor of the North American Re-
view, who has just made up with
Woodrow Wilson, is not much better
on guessing results than the common
run of people. In page review in
the New York Times the Sunday be-
fore election Co.. Harvey wound up
as follows:
That the Democrats will have
majority of between so and 100 in
the next house; that Gov. Glynn
will carry New York by more
than $4,000; that Mr.. Gerard will
get even more, regardless Of the
effect upon the president perturb-
ed heart; that Our Colonels for
mer ally, Sulzer "the crook"
will poll more votes than Mr..
Davenport; that Roger Sullivan
will win in Illinois.
Not prediction proved true. In
stead of Glynn being elected gov
ernor Of New York. the Republican
won by nearly 10000 votes to spare,
while the Republican nominee for
senator by nearly 100000 over Ger
ard. In Illinois, Sullivan was also
defeated. Col. Harvey has another
guess coming. As a betting tip he
will not be taken seriously hereafter.

Now that the smoke of the election
is settling there are Democrats who
claim that President Wilson made
political mistake in forcing a war tax
measure through on the eve of an
election. Champ Clark says the bill
should have been deferred until after
election $50 we could see by that
time whether it would be needed or
not" There is something in the posi-
tion of the speaker from politicians
standpoint. Wilson either doesn't
care a rap about the galleries or
he's a poor party bandmaster.

If the Progressive party is a thing
of the past it will not have been en-
tirely in vain. 1t will impress, for
some time upon Republicans, the
necessity of administering in favor of
the people and not the politicians and
classes. Any party long in easy con-
troll will drift into the hands of un-
scrupulous politicians. Had the Pro-
gressive party secured long reign it
would have eventually have gone the
way of the other parties; there is

What Foot and Mouth. Disease L.

What Foot and Mouth" Disease Is.
The "foot and mouth" disease. Of
ficials explained, is not fatal, but the
only way to prevent its spread
throughout herd is to kill all af-
fected animals. Its effect is to ENACT
ate the beef cattle and reduce the
milk supply of dairy animals. The
animals mouths become so sore they
cannot eat.
The malady attacks livestock of all
kinds. Cattle are particularly sus-
ceptive OF it. For many years Eu-
rope has suffered from the scourge
while the United States has been
comparatively free from it. The dis
ease is one that manifests itself by
the appearance of small ulcers and
vesicles in the mouth f animals and
on the hoof, between the to%sN vhe
disease spreads with great bidity
and is highly contagious. The NOR
tality among animals affected by it
is large.

FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE

ommittee having in charge the inter
sts of the vets in the late cam
'aign is the right kind Of looser
n an interview he said:
I'VE took the position that pro-
hibition would be detrimental to
the best interests of the state.
We still take that view, but the
majority have voted thather way,
and SO we feel that we should now
assist in to the best of our ability
in the enforcement of the meas
ure. Several legislative enact
ments are necessary, and it is our
disposition to aid in having such
laws passed as will bring an abb
solute halt to the liquor traffic
in Colorado.
eve always have been against
the unregulated saloon and the
dives where liquor has been sold
unfortunately. Now that the
majority have voted aginst the
liquor traffic, in. any form. the
proper thing is to pass every re-
strictive measure possible.
"The new law prohibits the
gift as we'll as the sale of liquor.
This being the will of the major
ity, legislative enactment should
be passed that will apply equally
to everybody. Under the prohibi-
tion amendment just adopted no
person has greater right to
give drink to another man than
to sell it. This being true, the
legislature would be unfair to dis
criminate in the matter.
We therefore have no such di-
rect interest in the result as have
the dealers. Now that the major
ity has spoken, as business men
we accept the decision, and in do
ing this, and to be consistent, we
cannot but now join with the
majority in the strict enforcement
of every provision contemplated
by the people in the adoption of
prohibition. Meanwhile we will
do well to forget the election and
pull together for Colordo."
