RESPECT WILSON'S
PROCLAMATION

The censored reports from the bat
tlefields of Europe give the reader
a very unsatisfactory account of the
different armies maneuvers. AS yet
no great battles have been recorded,
but undoubtedly both sides are mass
ing their armies for their final test
of strength and in few days we
may expect to hear of one of the
bloodiest battles that ever darkened
the pages of history.
AS President Wilson has wisely pro-
claimed, Americans should be careful
in favoring any particular nation as
we are peopled from all the nations
now at war and cannot afford to
show hostility to any particular ma
ton, as the majority of immigrants
who come to this country, when nat
uralized, become loyal citizens to
our country and its flag. Therefore
let us refrain from expressing our
preference for any one nation, there
by not wounding the feelings of an
other whose loyalty to our flag is
unQueStioned.

THE PRICE.

In this awful strife of nations,
With their corpse-strewn battlefield
Running red with blood of martyrs,
Shed through country's flag to shield,
Who will pay the price of vict'ry
When the smoke has rolled away?
Who will bear the brunt of battle?
Who will have the most to pay?
They will be the wives and mothers
Who in grief are left alone,
And in sorrow for their loved ones
Deep in anguish weep and moan.
But from out this death and carnage
Rising like the sun at morn,
There will be new births recorded,
New Republics will be born.

REPEAL THE PRIMARY LAW.

The primary law passed by the leg
islature four years ago with the in
tention of purifying politics, has been
tried out sufficiently and found to
be wanting in many respects. First,
1t is costly to the taxpayer, and Sec
ondly the voter has lost all interest
in politics and has ceased to attend
political gatherings, and thirdly 1t
enables those characters who are re-
pulsive to the people to get upon
the ticket (and often elected who
would have no show in a respectable
political convention.
AS a matter Of economy to the
taxpayer of the county and state,
as we'll as the purification of politics,
let the incoming legislature repeal
the existing primary law, frame and
pass an election law authorizing the
county commissioners to issue certi-
ficates OF Indebtedness against the
county in amounts of one dollar each
to every voter attending the precinct
caucuses to select delegates to tie
county conventions.
At first blush it would seem that
this is a wild and erratic suggestion,
but let us scrutinize the question in
all it's phases and see If it is not
more economical as we'll as more
satisfactory than the present primary
law.
At the last primary election there
were 500 votes cast for representa-
tive in this county, averaging 1882
per vote, some precincts in the re-
mote part of the county averaging
$500 per vote. These 800 votes cost
the county $2,656 at the primary ell
ection over and above the county
clerks fees. At the general election
that followed, there were 1,647 votes
cast, and this number deducted from
the primary cost would leave a net
gain TO the county of $1,000 had all
voting at the general election attend
ed the precinct caucuses and receiv-
ed one dollar each. Under this plan,
interest in politics would be restored
and a better class of men and wom-
en- selected for office. This sugges-
tion is worthy of thought and affords
serious reflection to thinking mind.

destruction of property in Europe can

coLoRADo's FUTURE.

The thousands of American tourists
who are marooned in Europe on ac-
count of the war and the great trou-
BILE experienced in returning to their
native land, has taught them an OBJ
ject lesson, and hereafter many Of
the wealthy class will pass the heat
ed season among the cool retreats of
our mountain fastness. Colorado has
many advantages to offer. Not only
have we the most delightful climate
on earth, but we have the good
roads on mountain and plain, where
the automobile may glide as smooth
ly and swiftly as any place on earth.
Our attractive forests and secluded
glens far removed from the noise
and turmoil of the busy world, form
an ideal spot for the overwrought
man of business to build his summer
villa. and enjoy that peace and COM
fort of mind and body so essential
to tho welfare of a human life.
Here beneath the spreading branches
Of the tall and stately pine, surround
ed by towering peaks that were
moulded by natures handiwork, with
the eternal snow-capped peaks loom
ing in the distance and the last rays
Of setting sun casting their lumin-
GUS light on the frozen crystals, re-
flecting a panorama seldom unfurled
to the eye of man. Here the lover
of piscatorial exercise may feast up
on the meats Of the finny tribe or
plunge into the dense wood in search
of bear and other kings of the forest.
And here in this invigorating and
salubrious atmosphere, surrounded by
all the charms of nature, the youth
of our land can find improvement of
the body and mind that is so essen
tial to take up the business cares of
life laid down by his illustrious sire.
Here the man of means can invest
his idle capital in good and profit
able mines of divers minerals: as
well as among the great oil fields of
southern and western Colorado. And
here in Gilpip and Clear Creek coun-
ties are to be found the greatest in
exhaustible gold and silver mines
known to the world, that have been
steadily worked for half a century
without perceptible exhaustion.
The present war in Europe has
marked an epoch in our history,
when the wealth Of the nation will
repair to this Switzerland of Amer
lea and rear stately and magnificent
abodes in our mountain glens or
among the groves of our foothills
that skirt our pure and dashing noun
tain rivers. Colorado has a bright
future and among her many diadems
there is none so choice as the little
Kingdom of Gilpin" whose invigor-
ating atmosphere has cultured many
of the bright minds of the nation.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

Samuel d. Nicholson of Leadville
one of the designated Republican
candidates for governor, has at last
made a statement to the people OF
the state regarding his position II
elected. His statement teens with
glittering generalities regarding the
seeing to the laws of the state be-
ing obeyed, and the bringing of the
settlers to the state to cultivate our
vast area of unimproved lands and
says he is opposed to the policy OF
restricting the prospector on our pub
lie domains, and all those things that
go to make plausible showing
without saying anything for the ben
eft of the masses. But not one word
does he say about the smelling trust
that has ruined our great state for
over decade, by its unfair and un-
just treatment of the miner. Neith-
er has he one word to say regarding
the repeal of that unjust law that
places a double tax on the output of
our mines. The voters of Colorado
have suffered too long to trust a
man closely allied to some of our
large corporations, to gain power
without standing squarely upon the
issues that are vital to our welfare
and publicly discussing them without
evasion. The people are wise and
will no longer tolerate deception.
