The Fort Madison Gem City says:
That the Mexican situation begins to
look grave was shown in railway
circles in this city late Saturday when
an order was received from had
quarters to the effect that all fat

shipment of ammunition and supplies
to the Mexican border OF Texas. Com
ing as it does after such period OF
restlessness, the order looks doubly
grave and many are OF the opinion
that more trouble IL close at hand.
There are thousands of the cars all
over the system which will be sent In
at once. There were very few, how

was obviously not leaving for a short
trip but for an extended stay from
their homes. They told their friends
here that they had seen too many
signs that Huerta was preparing to
fall, Samson like, pushing the -otter-

base and their destruction among
tumbling walls. This may be within
two weeks or forty days at the most.

The dictator, the flimsy semblance OF
government maintained in Mexico
City may come to an end. But Huerta
will not be eliminated. He will still
have his card to play. Word passed
to the friends OF the mediators here,
is that the dictator feels secure in the
belief that President Wilson cannot
permit him to be killed. A precedent
has been set as to the killing Of Mex
+ lean presidents in the Madero assas-
sination. II President Wilson should
have permitted Huerta to be assas-
sinated, then he could not recognize
the president who took the oath of Of
fee over the dead body Of the dictator.
Therefore Huerta does not expect to
be dragged out IN the nigh. as was
Madero at the order Of rebel leader
and shot down. He will fee to
Pueb1a and in that stronghold, guard
his life against the assault Of the
revolutionary hosts until the Amerf-

that there Is no serious danger to the

among the trees; loaf in soft
valleys Of green; stroll in the
moonlight; eat Of the fat OF the
land and sleep like a babe.

to shippers, so that produce would
not be at the mercy of buyers the
minute it arrives in city like Den
yer, it would often prove a great help,
for little time might discover a
profitable purchaser.
Naturally the grower should not de-
pend upon such a thing too much, it
is easy to see that such plan in op-
Grafton could prove great conven-
ience.
The plan is also open for develop
ment and improvement. A state
might do more than merely try to pass
laws to control-but which fail to con-
and disreputable mar
ket manipulations. 1t could extend
direct aid to the marketers, or even
take hand in the marketing itself.
It could spend money in that way to
much better effect than with lot OF
political hangers-on, whose only bust
ness is to junket over the state, COL
lect fees from working people and in
crease taxes.
With the money spent uselessly in
this way, storage warehouses could be
built and given a force of directors
whose duty it would be to devote
their entire time to aiding the mar
keting of crops. Why not consider
something useful and beneficial
once? Make it non-partisan and place
the storage warehouse heads under
heavy bond and with sufficiently Sc
we're penalty for grating to preclude
anything but honest effort.
Such action would, we believe. meet
the approval of all growers, as well

POSSIBILITY FOR SILVER.

"The European war brings a ray of
hope to the silver miners of the
United States The revival of the
silver mining industry would mean
great things for Colorado, for this is
one of the richest states in the Union
in that metal. With the tremendous
debt of the world caused by the war,
it will be impossible for the gold in
existence to take care of the credits.
The nations will have to turn to some
other metal. Naturally they will get
to silver as being the next scarcest
and consequently, outside of gold. the
most desirable as a basis of value.
This subject is one of deep interest
to many mining camps of Colorado,
once great, and again would be great
il the price of silver advances to a
point where hundreds of properties
can again be worked to a profit In
discussing this subject the Leadville
Herald-Democrat says:
There is going to be as great a
clamOr for silver as there is for gold.
1t will be poured out as a circulating
medium among the millions of Eu-
rope, for the nations there cannot go
on a paper basis"

After a short respite following his
activity in the primary campaign HUI
bert Work, who received handsome
majority as the choice for United
Statees senator on the Republican
ticket, is ready to begin a strenuous
campaign in the interest of Colorado
and her people. During intervening
time between the primary election and
now the candidate has been attending
to his business. He never neglects
this. Even while he was engaged in
the primary campaign he was in con-
stant touch with his own affairs in
Pueblo and directing them from far
and near 1t wes his business success
which established his reputation and
which was largely responsible for the
vote of confidence he received at the
polls on September s. He is a bust
ness man first, last and all the time.
In all the time he has taken part
in political affairs he applied business
methods. This is the kind of man
Colorado wants to represent her in the
United States senate; more especially
at this time than ever before, if Colo
rado is to be brought back to state
of prosperity.
