Refused Notice

Every editor has received them.
The postmaster sends them to the
editor. For instance, there is a man
by the name of John Black who re-
fused to take his paper out of the
postofice. He did not want it any
longer, and we wondered what was
the matter. Upon investigation of
our subscription book we found that
John was short $3.50. He stopped
the paper as an economy to us. One
evening we went to church and John s
melodious voice rang out loud and
clear in that soul-stirring song,
Jesus Paid it ALL" We might have
been mistaken but his earnestness
impressed us. The next day we
sent him a receipt in full, begging
his pardon for not knowing he had
made arrangements for his liabilities
in that manner.

Ashland county's new court
house is beginning to assume
the proportions which it will
take and it will indeed be an i'm
posing structure. The building
will be three stories in heighth
and will be as nearly freproof
as it is possible to build it. The
roof will be put on the building
within the next few weeks and
the building will be sufficiently
enclosed to permit work to be
continued on the interior through
out the winter months.

Space for All Beliefs

The New Era recently rendered the
Anti.Saloon league, OF this county,
an entire page of space to be edited
as officers of that league saw 1T. The
offer was accepted and appreciated by
that organization as Is shown by a
page to be found In another portion uf
this issue.
We made this offer OF a free page to
be used in any manner they liked be-
cause we feel both factions Of this or
any other great issue should have the
right to be heard. Funds by which
the Anti Saloon league could gain the
publicity, secured by the opposition,
were lacking. The local association
has been able to do some advertising
but IL has been necessarily limited.
Last summer, the Colorado Busi-
ness Mems Home Rule league con-
tracted with us for u certain amount
Of advertising space. We sold them
this space because 1t Is 4 stock 10
trade with this and all other publica-
tions. The Anti Salon league, not
having sufficient funds. was unable TO
purchase such an amount Of advertis-
ing and for that reason they were al
lnwed the use Of page in this Issue

Hopeful Omens

Superintendent Finch spoke 10 DIFF
ferent parts of the county within the
week, following the schedule an-
nounced In the papers last week. He
reports the prospects for victory
this fall as highly encouraging. There
Is harmony among the various branch
e. OF the temperance force. The state
was never before 40 we'll organized.
Evangelists Sunday in Denver and
Scoville In Pueblo are dealing telling
blows for prohibition.
Temporary prohibition during the
last six months In Huerfano and Las
Animas counties has done more than
anything else could have done in that
part OF the state for state wide prohi-
bition.
The Increase of taxes, already bur
densome almost beyond endurance,
will lead many taxpayers to try the
Kansas plan OF lowering taxes.
Many drlnking men say they will
vote for state wide.
The outrageous methods OF adver-
tising and the ridiculous distortion OF
facts as we'll as the lavish expendit-
ure OF money by the enemy proves
them In hard straits. The temper
ance people have great reason to be
encouraged.

composed of persons of every political
faith. 4 large percentage being Repub-
Leans. The Democratic county chair
man, D. w. Simmer, called the house
to order and introduced Judge Patrick
as the speaker of the evening who
pulled off one of his characteristic ora
torical stunts, beginning with the dawn
of civilization, and by mighty leaps and
bounds sprang from one great political
achievement to another and finally
landed upon the Wilson administration
as the crowning glory of the worlds
history.
Evidently the audience was impressed
by it all as are the American people by
Democracy generally, for not single
demonstration of approval came from
the audience, aud when the judge saw
his effort to arouse the audience had
fallen fiat and lay heavily on the crowd,
he renewed and fedoubled his force and
energy, seeming to forget the fact that
many of hearers personally knew Of
the wager the Judge has on the propo-
sition that Patterson will not be the
next governor of Colorado, as well rs
the fact that he came near being the

Campaign Costs
are Rather Light

The candidates have filed their CAM
paigu expenses for the primary elec-

anyone, at least the largest amount
given In and sworn to, was that OF
Henry Humiston for sheriff, on the
Democratic ticket. His amount was
S40.5O.
I Following Humiston was Daily
with an expense OF s35 70. J. II. Cow
den spent sSl. 80; II. Ed. Trainor
S25. rs; Harry Gull S2l 100; Tiedemann
SIS. SO; Edd whitney s2O.5O. These
were all Democratic candidates. or
the Republican candidates Williams
for assessor was the only one who had
any expense, and he paid out 1915.
There was no opposition on the Re-
publican ticket and it required no
campaigning to secure nominations
Dan Petit for constable on the Re-
publican ticket spent 25 cents. This
was evidently for the acknowledge

mendation of the committee to its MEM

Following the speech of Mr.. West
came the speech of the evening by Mr..
Patterson, who related at much length
the part he took in the strike situation
and the inability Of the Democratic ad-
ministIation to successfully cope with
the situation. Several times he referred
to his chief opponent, Mr.. Carlson, in
terms not uncomplimentary. and not
one time did he offer q solution Of the
existing conditions in Colorado. The
speech, coming from the source it did
was disappointment to almost the en-
tire audience, many of whom left the

Allies Lose Opening Round

The allies have lost the opening round of the first great struggle of the War of the Seven Nations.
 How much effect that loss will have upon the fighting of the next few days remains to be seen.
 The censorship perceptibly relaxed yesterday and with an unexpected frankness, the French war office an nounced to the world that their of fensive movement had been repulsed with heavy losses.
 As predicted by The Age-Herald, the German operations at Namur, upon which the right wing of the allied army rested, brought on a general en- gagement, and this morning the battle is raging from Muelhausen, only few miles west of the Swiss frontier, tc six miles north of Lille, distance of over 200 miles.
 The fortune of the day yesterday was everywhere with the Germans. Ir Belgium, the French and English, car. ried away by their enthusiasm, at tempted an ill timed forward move. ment which was repulsed by the Ger mans, both armies being badly mauled.
 With the fighting in Belgium ap- parently reaching a crisis, the German war office has given the word to the armies of the Moselle and the Rhine and as result Nancy has been taker and Germans are we'll within the French frontier. A German force k advancing upon Muelhausen and it k probable that the French will retire their left flank being in danger iron the army of the Moselle.
 The greatest interest will be cen tered on the battle in Belgium where the British and French are resting on ground which they have prepared With the German attempt to dislodg' them will come the struggle, the mag nitude of which will baffle the imagin ation to grasp.
