FEEL TARIFF EFFECT.

Hydro (0kla. Review.
A few days ago Senator Gore loud.
ly declaimed over the state that "fre.
farm implements" would relieve the
farmers of paying tribute to the
trust. The new tariff bill provides
that farm implements shall be ad.
mitted free of duty. But as promis.
ed relief for the farmer it can hard.
ly be called any. great success. Since
machinery has been placed on the
free list binders have advanced So to
$3.50 each; mowers have advanced
from 81 to $2 each; riding plow
now costs about dollar more thar
a year ago; wagon costs about q
five-dollar William more than a year
ago. We were talking with an i'm
plement dealer the other day, and
who Is q good Democrat, and he gave
us the above information and stated
that there was an advance in price
on practically the entire line Of farm
implements ranging from 5 to 10 per
cent.
On the other hand, most everything
the farmer produces was placed on
the "free" list. Some charge that

Doc Tennal says local newspaper
is half public utility and thai some
day editors may be selected by the
people. Hardly half, Ralph. A news
paper is no more public utility thar
is grocery store or meat market
A public utility enjoys some special
favor from the public at large. A
railroad has the right of eminent do
main, and can cut through your farm
or town lot if it wants to. Street
railways, water, telephone and tele-
graph companies use the streets and
therefore are deeply indebted to the
people for the franchises enjoyed. A
newspaper, on the contrary, serves
the public. 1t boosts the town in
which it is printed by locking the
closet and keeping the good foot for
ward. If people we're to selecs their
editors we wouldn't have a Job, and
therefore rail at the suggestinn.--At-

to make clear its position, the party
nominates for governor one of the
lifelong disturbers of the peace in
this state in the person of Thomas
M. Patterson.
Nobody could wish for a better
joining of issues than this. Patter-
son and anarchy versus Republican,
ism and prosperity.
The issue will be squarely up to the
voters this fall, and it is well that il
should be so. The Democracy has
repudiated the one leader in its party
who should have been given a vote
of confidence, and that is Governor
Ammons, and it sells its soul for a
mess of political potage in the shape
Of the labor vote.
The Democratic politicians have
had their inning; but it remains for
the mass of Democratic voters yet
to speak.-Colorado Springs Tele-

FOR PRESIDENT, PANCHo villa

New York Sun.
The Mexican situation will not be
regarded as simplified by the change
of heart which Gen. Pancho Villa is
said to have undergone as respecss
the presidential succession. So long
as he professed in or through popu-
lar magazines and newspaper inter
views a modest appreciation of his
own qualities and expressed a pref
erence for farm and his ease when
the great struggle was over to the
dizzy and risky heights of ruiership,
all was we'll. He could be trusted to
fight if he didn't expect anv great
reward outside those of his consc .encc
and rude, generous nature.
But now the evoluted brigand chief
appears to have come to new knowl
edge of himself. If he can lead armies
he begins to think, he can lead min
istries and command parliaments.
Surely it is much easier. When all
the possible shooting is on one side,
what difficulty can there be in ruI-
ming things? Besides, Carranza, who
at one time was Pancho's ideal of =
president, isn't the man he thought
at all. He found this out in time
The evidences of the discovery have
not been wanting for couple of
weeks past.
So now Carranza is only to be al
lowed to act as stop-gap president,
a warming pan for Villa himself, the
dominating genius Of the revolution,
the real force Of "constitutionalism.
When the final choice is made by the
people of Mexico Villas will be the
only name heard To the victor be-
longs the spoils, and the victor of Il
dozen bloody fields will see to it that
no more thinker comes between him
and the people--nor the people be-
tween him and what belongs to him.
The policy of watchful waiting de-
velOps new surprise-or is it sur
prise ?-at any rate the prospect OF
a new triumph for civilization and
humanity.

tribute more or less to market.
Farm labor in the United States
commands much higher wage than
in any other country under the sun,
yet under the new tariff measure the
farmers of this country must now
produce their crops in open competi-

Anyway the tariff has not been the
