The only hope for the domestic su-
gar industry lies in tn election Of
president and congress in 1916 pledg-
ed to American industry. The presi-
dent will stand by the cane sugar
refiners of foreign sugar as against
the continuance of the domestic sugar
production. There have been persist
ent and widespread rumors to the ef-
feet that the duty on sugar would be
restored, in whole or in part, because
the revenues therefrom were required.
The Mexican demonstration and semi
occupancy was an tim of expense not
foreseen, and the income tax has fail
ed to produce an easily and cheaply
collected revenue of over $50, ,O0O, 900
year, it was declared the govern
ment would yield its position on this
item at least, not only because it
needed the sugar tax, but because it
was found the industry could not sur
vive with all the duty removed.
Congressman Underwood and others
declare the new tariff law will not be
disturbed. If congress were to pass
any measure affecting the present law
the president would veto it. Mr.. Un-
derwood said the sugar producers and
all others might as well make up their
minds that the present law will stand
unchanged.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
American sugar industry, nor in fact
any other business in this country af-
fected adversely by the tariff law,
can hope for any relief at tn hands
of President Wilson or the leaders Of
his party. .... ..f ...
The only hope is to do as was done
in 1895, wipe out the free trade ma
jority at the November election and
retire Mr.. Wilson to merited oblivion
in 1916.-Nstional Farmer.

Playing for Votes

1t would appear as though the law
less element has captured the nation
al administration the same as it has
captured, in a way, our state govern
ment. Yesterdays dispatches carried
three stories of extraordinary signifi-
cance. The first story was to the ef-
feet that President Wilson had un-
conditionally pardoned four Of the
men who were convicted of the dyna-
hitting outrages in the trials at In
dianapolis. Another story was to the
effect that the federal soldiers at
Walsenburg had taken four men out
Of the mines who wanted to earn hon.
est livings and deported them from
the strike territory. Another story
was that the federal government will
allow the union organizers to come
into the coal fields in the strike dis
tricts in Colorado, but will not allow
men who want to earn their livings
who were not at work before the
strike started to enter the coal fields,
for the purpose Of obtaining work.
Either of the above orders is unamer-
lean and unjust. Evidently the demo-
cratic administration from President
Wilson down is playing for the vote
of the rough element in labor. Ger
tain the pardon of the four dynamit-
ers was bid for the support Of the
anarchists and that class of citizens.
Certainly the deportation Of the four
men who wanted to work in the Colo
RADIO coal camps was bid for the
vote of the men on strike. Certainly
the order allowing the organizers Of
the United Mine Workers to come in,
when at the same time an order was
issued preventing honest workmen
seeking labor from finding the same
is bid for the votes Of the destruc-
tive element in organized labor.
However, we are not much inclined
to criticise the administration at this
time. From the time the federal
troops were brought into the field un-
til today there has been tendency to
assist the United Mine Workers and
to force the coal operators to either
close down their mines or sign a con-
tract with the union. Personally, we
expected that very result. 1t will do
more to line the law and order ele-
ment up together this fall than any
thing that could happen. We do not
believe that President Wilson's popu-
larity is such that he can do these
things and retain democratic con-
gress. We believe the people will this
fall realize that his unfair positions
have been taken purely for the pur-
pose of getting votes and that instead
of getting the popular support his ad-
ministration will receive popular con-
mnation.-Pueblo Chieftain.

There have been thefts of public
funds and the barter and sale of spe-
cial privileges without rifle coming
to the prosperity of the masses. But
there never has been a lowering Of
the tariff, so as to set the foreigner
at work for the manufacture Of the
goods consumed at home when ruin
has not followed.
For the depression following tariff
reduction in the past, excuses have
been offered that have been more OF
less convincing. This time there is
no excuse possible.

RIOT IN MEETING OF PROGRESS
I'VE LEADERS
Costigan and Followers Cry Down
Patriotic Members With Loud
Jeers and Shouts-Dr. Fisher
and Following Of Loyal Citi-
gems Called "Galoots" and
Liars"

Denver, June 25.-The progressive
party through its state central COM
mittee washed its dirty linen in the
ordinary of the Brown Palace hotel
this afternoon. For a party that has
been in existence two years and that
came third in the last political con-
test, it certainly has stacked up pile
of dirty linen that would make DEM
ocratic soiled wardrobe of 20 years
standing look like a rose garden per-
fumed with violets.
Every member Of the committee
present stripped of few suits Of po-
litical sweaty underwear and a half
dozen pairs of wornout candidate
socks and threw in to the general heap
under which was the contest for sec
retaryship. Incidentally while the
washing was being done it developed
that one Edward P. Costigan can give
Archie Stevenson, Bob Speer, JEFF
Farr and William Lorimer all the deck
and still skin them alive in knowing
how to run party with one political
boss and he be that boss. 1t made
no difference what matter was before
the party during the last two years,
Mr.. Costigan was the boss and he ran
things with a high hand. If any one
feels that the progressive party rep
resented by the state central commit
tee is situated party of the pro-
gressives for the progressives and by
the progressives, he has six more
guesses coming for it has been a
party insofar as its state central COM
mittee tasted, bitten, chewed, swal-
lowed and digested by one Mr.. Co.'S
tigan.
Today's meeting was called for the
purpose of outlining temporarily a
platform for the coming campaign.
However when the committee met the
matter of the resignation Of Mr.. Tenn
pie was brought up and occupied the
entire afternoon. Mr.. Temple has been
secretary of the progressive party for
some time. About six months ago the
executive committee, which employs
the secretary, appointed subcommit-
tee of four to employ a secretary. Lat
er two mmbers of this subcommittee
moved away. Some time ago Mr..
Temple saw fit to express himself up
on the matter Of law and order in
Colorado. He said that he believed in
law and order and that when men
were shooting at the soldiers and the
state flag it was time for every citi-
zen of the state to uphold the COVER
nor in attempting to preserve law and
order. ---,. ,...... ..t
Mr.. Costigan and Mr.. Causey, the
only two members of the subcommit-
tee in the city went to Mr.. Temple and
accused him of being untrue to the
Mr.. Costigan candidacy for governor
in the remarks he had been making

SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACT IS
FAIR
New Contracts Offered by Two Buttes
Company Offers Settlers Splendid
Opportunity

Now that the contract holders nave
a chance to settle amicably the differ
ences with the company which have
arisen as a result Of unforeseen con-
tingencies, chief of which was the SER
les of dry seasons covering the last
few years, and not from any bad
faith on the part Of the company, by
signing the new supplemental con-
tract; and in face Of the splendid
showing on the segregation where
proper farming has been done-such
as elected from outside visitors who
come to the segregation unstinted
praise and favorable comment on what
is being done herewith abundance
Of water stored in one Of the best
reservoirs in the west, constructive
policy should be adopted by all and an
effort made to make The tract pro-
ductive of income. The tracts can
be made productive quicker perhaps
with alfalfa than anything else, even
by non-residents, as has been demon
strated here on the C0ons, Kopf and
Claussen places. There is every evil
dence that resident entrymen and
many non-residents realize the value
Of the opportunity and are gong
ahead. Others no doubt will be do
ing the same eventually.
The question of transportation, of
course, is an important one. But it
may not be fully realized that we can
expect to have heavy local demand
for our products, especially for hay,
with a vast area of stockraising coun-
try tributary to the segregation on
all sides, and that indications point
to the building of railroad just as
soon as traffic demands, within year
or two. We believe the time for
"watchful waiting" at Two Buttes is
passed. Let all alike sign the con-
tract as resident entrymen are doing
and get to work.
Fred L. Harris, the one man, as
we have mentioned before, who knows
more about the project than any other
human, gave some of the best years
of his life to build the system for the
purpose of reclaiming semi-arid lands
to make it possible for many Of his
fellow-men to build homes in the
west as they desired. He met many
discouragements in the last few years
enough to have chushed a weaker
man. He is still working with renew
ed energy to complete his work with
no pecuniary gain for his company.
He is largely responsible for the liber-
al terms of the new contract. He has
faith in the ultimate outcome. What
we have seen accomplished here under
unfavorable conditions and what we
see here this year under more favor
able conditions portend the success
Mr.. Harris had in view as his prime
motive, as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
our level, fertile lands, the building Of
homes. Others share in the faith and
the purpose. Let US make it universal
and get to work.-Two Buttes Senti-

League Standing

A large number Of local fans ac-
companied the Lamar team to La Jun
ta Sunday to attend the track meet
bail ganc did you say. Huh! Go tell
your grandmother! They used to play
that kind Of ball games in her day.
Well anyway, whatever it was, Lamar
got the count and goes up a notch
nearer where the Las Animas Leader
says we belong.
1t was q nerve destroying game
for the Lamar fans but when the
clouds cleared away the boys had the
bacon, so everything is forgiven. At
the end Of the sixth inning La Junta
had a lead Of 10 to and then the
Lamar batters started work and at
the end Of the eighth had the score
II to 10, making five runs each in
ming and shutting La Junta out. In
the first Of the ninth they made one
more and had lead Of five runs, yet
they came near throwing this away
by errors in the last half but pulled
UP after the fourh La Junta man
crossed the plate and made the last
out just in time.
Jack Littler pitched the last three
innings and held the La Junta hits
fairly well scattered. These two clubs
are certainly the sluggers Of the lea
que, however, as their three games
win show and they are well matched.
They have played three games and the
score stands 81 to 80, in favor Of La
mar, and the odd game also goes to
Lamar ~ well.
The Lamar team led in batting and
errors also. Caulk heightened his lead
in the batting by making three hits
in six times up and one a home run
Of course. He is the Baker Of the
league. He didn't get chance in the
field. Sharkey felded two chances
without an error and moved up into
the four hundred class with four hits
one q two bagger. Hines helped his
batting average with three hits in
five times up, but made four errors.
which is unusual. Mayfeld and Skin
ner tried to keep in Hines class but
fell q little below in both hits and err
rors. Beavers the new shortstop
showed good class in fielding, but did
not break into the hit class yet. He
will strengthen the team considerably.
Fred Littler caught when Jack went
into the box and did good work there
As well. as in the pitchers box. Bud
played his usual even game and got
two hits, one two bagger. The de-
tails of the game would be too much
for anything but magazine, and
can be guessed from the box score
below.

RED S0x ARE N0 BIDDING
 FOR BAKER

Boston, Nov. as: :sTf 4Ienne Run Ba- ker is really to be put upon the mar
 ket and the former star third sackers Of the Athletics passed lfp by Connie
 ldack who is ridding his team of ex
 tIapagantly high priced play CTS and
 st tifling pro Federal league sentiment
 at the same time. it may be put down
 as certain that the Boston Red ssor
 svln make no efrprt to secure him.
 One year ago at this time the very
 suggestf6n that Baker could be pur
 chased or traded for would have put
 every American league manager on
 his trail but times have changed
 really turned loose there will be no
 mad scramble to annex him.
 At any rate he will not come to the Red Sox. He may be harder hitter than Larry Gardner in a pinch: and his season,s average may over top the Boston men by many q point; he may be more reliable In the paths. but In spite Of all this Man ager Carrigan and President Lannin would far prefer the regular incum- bent Of inc third base berth on the Boston team.
 The announcefnent Of Bakers ap- parent loss Of prestige in Philadel- phia will cause no great sensation in the baseball world During the great- CT part Of the season just passed he slzffered the sanne slump that his teammates were experiencing, and In 1 the big series he proved one of the colossal dtsappoin tments of the year. For the first time in a battle for the
 worlds charnp pionship he failed to do any thing that would enable his team 1 to take the measure of the Braves This is the principal reason why such q decided loss Of prestige has been suffered by Connie Mack,s great star But there are other causes, too. One is because of the fact that Baker is getting we'll alonE toward the t1ir- ties, is the oldest member Of the -mil- lion dollar inffelds g and is not regard= ed to be quite as fast as he formerly was. But perhaps the strongest mo- tive that has actuated Connie Mack in his deterna1 1natdon to get rid of him is the disposition that Baker has shown in regard to a salary increase Also the tendency that Baker has shown toward doing business with the Federal league has made nAack dolbly anxious to replace him

Cambridge Mass, Nov. 18-iVVtth only two days remaining to get the team into shape for the ' ale game the Harvard Varsity coaches mapped out a. long days work for the players yesterday-
 The rush line proposition was heap- ed little by the return to the held of Ernest Soucy- This player was slated to be the Varsity center, but when Mahan was hurt and HardvYick was placed in the back field, Soucy was moved out to end only to be laid .ur, in his first game. He was not in the lineup yesterday, but it is thought that he will be ready to go back into the game as si1bstitute center if he is needed This may be possible as HBige4ow, Wallaee's regular substitute, also stands as second man for either Trl1nbu1 or Parson-
 The Harvard undergraduafes held their annual mass meeting in the Onion last night. There were songs and speeches, the team being present, and Capt. Brick1ey and Coach E7augh- ton telling the boys that the team was ready to meet Yale on even terms While tTfis was going on the Harvard graduates in Boston were having 9 festival af their club, the occasion be- ing the banquet to the Harvard crew, which was victorious at the Henley regretha. last summer in England
