COLORADO
DRY AS BONE
Wilson Administration Repudiated all Over
the Nation-consress Republican.

From the reports up to the time
we go to press it is strongly indi-
Gated that the National Congress
will be controlled by Republicans.
The congressional district in New
Jersey, Wilson's own home, turns
him down and elects Republican
congressman and balance of the
ticket.
The state of Colorado, for many
years democratic, went $4,000 for
Carlson, the Republican candidate,
as we'll as statewide prohibition
winning out by a handsome ma
jority. This comes as somewhat
OF a shock, as Colorado has been
one of the leading Democratic
states of the union for years past.
The state of New York turned
Mr.. Wilson down with a majority
for the Republican governor, and
many other states went Republi-
can by good margins, as we'll as
many of them going dry.
National prohibition seems GER
tain, and will probably come I'M
der the Wilson administration, to
be used ASA factor in electing
Wilson to a second term of office.
Many surprises show plain on
the face of the returns to date
from over the nation and the
whole thing makes a clean repudi-
alton of the Wilson administra-
ton.

Heretofore the stockmen of Amer

Heretofore the stockmen of Amer
lea have followed very closely TO
the European standards in live
stock breeding. The war has sud-
denly put an end to importation
of live stock from Europe, and if
the conflict continues for any
length of time it will leave Europe
with not enough live stock for
their own uses and they will later
have to come to this country to
secure breeding stock to renew
their herds.
The interesting question with
stock breeders is what effect will
their cutting off of annual impor-
tations from Europe have upon
live stock in this country. 1t is
practically certain that there will
be a material change in all classes
of livestock due to the different
environment under which they
are produced in this country. It
is practically certain that there
will be a material change in all
classes of live stock due TO the diff
ferent environment under which
they are produced in this country.
Heretofore it has been possible to
renew the blood lines from year
to year and thus keep our breed
ing in line with that of Europe,
but from now on the breeders of
this country will have to depend
upon their own efforts and upon
their own heads. One result of
this condition has been a greatly
increased interest in stock shows,
and at the National Western stock
show in D'nver in January there
will be stronger exhibits in all
lines of breeding stock than ever
before. Quite a number of wes-
tern men are getting into the
breeding business, realizing that
from now on America must breed
for its own uses and also eventu-
ally be prepared to supply an
European demand. From now on
the stock shows will have an i'm
portance far greater than they
have ever had before.

The COnServa-
tory Players

The first number OF the Mid
land Lyceum Course for the sea-
son, "The Conservatory Players"
appeared before a crowded house
here last evening This company
is composed of four persons, "Bal-
dy" Strang, Margaret Siewers,
Dott Fay Trott and Edward Cole
man, and they are all ''live wires"
The entertainment was of much
variety. Music on various instru-
ments was the chief feature and
was we'll rendered, but the last
stunt on the program, a comedy
love sketch, in which all four took
part, was the most appreciated.
Badly" Strang, in his Scotch
costume. played several selections
on his bag pipe and told a num-
Der of good stories. His line of
talent is along that of Harry Lau-
der, the renowned Scotch comedi-
an, and if Mr.. Lauder can put
anything over Badly" we will
have to be shown. He is a born
actor and will be a favorite where
ever he appears.
Margaret Siewers and Dott Fay
Trott, the ladies', are talented mu-
sieians. Miss Trott pleased her
hearers with several grand opera
selections on the violin. She is a
composer of note, having won the
Boston Symphony prize for excel
lence in harmony and modern
composition.
Edward Coleman is an instru-
mentalist of are talent, having &C.
CURED that hitherto impossible
accomplishment of being expert
in the playing Of each of ten in
struments, used in band and or
chestra. He is a complete band
in himself. Incidentally he gave
the Canary band a tip or two.
With these ten instruments before
him on the stage he plays in such
swift succession that the listener
is completely dazed at the exhibit
ton This feat has won for him
the econiums of the worlds great
est living directors. Mr.. Coleman
has been premiere soloist with
Sousa's band.
Saratoga citizens wait with en-
thusiastic anxiety for the next
number of the course.

The First Kiss.

The following sentence was TAX
en- from one of our exchanges:
"The greatest surprise in the
world to a girl who is kissed for
the first time is that there is no
taste to it."
No taste to it'll Well. by the hem
feathers on Cupid's dart, but the
editor of that paper must be col
or-blind and deaf and dumb in his
palate. They tell US, those who
have tried it, that it tastes like
the double distilled essence of
honey spread thick on a large fat
slice of pumpkin pie; that its taste
resembles a sip of nectar, brewed
by the gods and served in a dew
covered honey-suckle blossom.
Way back in the dim and hazy
past, long before we had misplace
ed all our teeth and when we had
a cinch on the beauty prize, the
prettiest girl in all the world told
us with her own rosebud lips that
our first kiss felt like a flock of
Paradise birds huttering out each
ear and ended with a sensation
like a covey of winged angels
pouring sorghum molasses down
her spine.
No taste to the first kiss! Great
guns! 1t would make a wooden
Indians hair curl up into a fut-
terry marcel wave and his toe-nails
culver in ecstatic bliss.
No taste to the first kiss! Why
it tastes like the ambrosia of cher
ry blossoms just at the time when
the whirr of the humming birds
wings come to one as g. siren song.
Nc taste to the first kiss!

phrase must be an ice-box.-Ex.

Canary Band Dance.

After the election Tuesday the
band boys celebrated the event by
giving a big dance in the hall that
evening. This dance was gotten
up for the purpose of raising
funds with which to buy band in
strnments. music and other equip
ment for the new band, which was
recently organized. They we're
fortunate lily selling about 100
dance tickets, which, at 81 each,
made them a neat sum for their
efforts, as most Of the expense of
giving the dance was contributed.
The committee in charge of ar
engagements were Fred Holck,
Paul Pilon and Jack Corlett, the
latter acting as floor manager, and
they all deserve the credit of pull.
ing the dance off in good shape.
Prof. Rose, of the Saratoga pub
lie schools, has been chosen by
the members as manager of the
new band, and We understand he
has drawn up a set of rules to
which all members will be reauir-
ed to comply, and upon non-com-
pliance with said rules, will be
asked to sever their connection
with the organization. This was
done with the intention to prevent
MISUNDERSTANDING, and is a very
good idea The Prof. has taken
hold of the movement with good
spirits, and it is to be hoped he
will be successful in his enterprise
as this town could well be proud
of having a good band.
There has been a number of
bands start here in years past, but
they have always fzzled out, ow-
TO Misunderstanding among
the members, and if the present
organization proves to be the ex-
ception, we feel sure the whole
town will give them every en-
couragement. They now have a
good membership, some of
them being old band men, and
with diligent practice they will
be able, before the win
ter is over. to make an appear
ance. They have sent for several
new instruments, and all the boys
are working hard in the interest
of maintaining the organization.
The Sun joins with the rest of
the citizens of Saratoga in hoping
to see Prof Rose accomplish the
desired result.

There were 81 straight Republi-
can and 8 Democratic votes cast
here.
For the special road tax, for the
construction of the Encampment-
Steamboat road, there were not
many here that voted the extra
ballot, but it carried this precinct
by about a three fourths majority,
which shows plainly the interest
and voice of Saratoga.
For the amendments to the con-
stitution there were very few who
cast their ballot, as there we're on
ly a few who even knew that there
were any amendments, and less
knew of what they consisted and
we're not well enough informed to
vote intelligently, so many left
the ticket blank.
In the state ticket Kendrick and
Houx, democrats, we're elected by
about l,5OO majority, and republi-
cans were elected for the balance
OF the state ticket by a majority
of about 1900. The republicans
comprise Forsyth, auditor, Gates,

NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES

AS all the world knows, interna-

much attention to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT

tain whether you will have an en-

There is geniality about the Ma
tionalist volunteer that makes you
know that he would rather fight some
one else-Germany in this case-than
Ulster. A few stories are current
that help to show how very ripe Ire
land was for Cancellation. Not long
ago a company of Nationalist volun-
teers, passing a company of Ulster
men, and being uncertain as to the
customary etiquette between deadly
enemies-saluted. In a northern dis
trict there was only one field suitable
for drilling, and as the two opposition
armies wanted 1t, the owner began
bidding them against each other.
Northern canniness asserted itself,
The commanding officer of one battal-
ion approached the enemy, and they
agreed to rent the field in common,
and use 1t on alternate days!
A third anecdote relates that while
some Ulster volunteers were drilling
a Nationalist was seen sitting on a
fence watching them. When he was
questioned by an fisherman he ex-
planned that his own company had
mislaid their rifles and could not
drill; but" he added. I'VE were wait

MODERN WAR is MERCIFUL

A general impression Is that with

greater loss OF life and greater pain

tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t is of
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim fair chance of re-
covery. 1t does not, as a rule, mutt

wounds. If the risk of being hit is
greater, the chances of recovery from
injury have been immensely in
creased.
