turn to the development of the native
resources, rather than permit prOduc'
tion to lag and supply to be diminish
ed in any industry.
For the maintenance of agriculture
for instance, we rely more and more
largely upon mineral fertilizers. The
three essential plant foods are potash
nitrogen and phosphorus, the latter
used generally in the form of phos-
phates We have depended, with the
rest of the world, very largely upon
the mines of Germany for our supply
of potash salts, and ar-has cut of
this supply, but we have large depos-
its of potash in California reserve
which can be Immediately opened and
developed if bill now before Con-
gress to make these supplies available
is enacted. Chile holds practical
world monopoly of the most readily
available nitrogen in its great nitrate
beds, and not only the manufacture of
agricultural fertilizers but also of
many kinds of high explosives, have
been made dependent upon the Chilean
supply of nitrates. If this supply
should be cut off, new supply would
have to be found or manufactures
and agriculture would suffer. For
tunately this new supply is at hand.
We can draw nitrogen from the air
and fix it with lime by the use of
large and cheap electrical develop
ment, as it is done at Niagara Falls
and in Norway, and all that is neces-
sary to pave the way to this electrical
development is the passage by Con-
gress of the Ferris bill now pending,
which will make possible the utiliza-
tion of the great unused water powers
of the Western States.
"The Southern States have for years
largely supplied the world with phos-
pilates, but because of the distribution
system, a large part of this supply has
gone to Europe, and much of the phos-
pilates used in the Western States
have been imported across the Pacific.
We have some 100000 acres of phos-
phate lands in the West lying near
the smelters from which is produced
the sulphuric acid necessary to con-
vert these phosphates into form avail
able for plant food, and still there is
no law by Which these phosphates de-
posits can be made commercially
although bill which would
allow of their immediate development
has been favorably reported by the
Public Lands Committee of the House
Of Representatives, and is awaiting
the approval of the House and Senate"
"Will these resources be developed
If these laws are passed?" the Secre-
tary was asked.
"of course they will" he replied.
you can depend upon American en-
terprise and ambition to make good
when it is given an opportunity. At
present these deposits and resources
are locked up out of use. To open
taem to use when the supply from
other countries is cut off means to
make American industries using these
materials independent of the rest of
the world, and business men will not

To the General Public

We, the undersigned ministers
and pastors of churches in st.
Johns. in response TO the request
of some OF the good people of
our city, have attended the NOV
ing picture exhibit. THE House
of Bondage" at the skating
rink. and give the following as
our opinion of the affair. viz:
That we disapproye of the eN-
hibit as we do of all others that
carry with them immoral sug-
gestion.
That we believe it will educate
TO the evil as much as away from
| il. However we recognize that
with AN immoral subject. we do
not see how il could be dealt
with in a more modest way.
That we are persuaded that
much that has been said against
it has heen done purely with the
design of making advertising
out of il,
That it is another slap at Prot
estantism in Difference to Roman
Catholicism.
That we most earnestly recon-
mend TO the city council that
they pass suitable ordinance
creating a board OF censors
whose duty it shall be to censor
all such moving pictures and
vaudeville which may be brought
before the public, and have full
power to act and suppress any
and all which they do not ap.
prove.

The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1914-08-12

The recent primary in Kansas does
not seem to offer any large amount
of satisfaction for the progressive
party. Inasmuch as the Sunfower
state has been known as a stronghold
of that party it was generally expect
ed that the progressives would make
a big showing in the primary. But
their vote was very small.
If we take for example the city of
Emporia, the home of William Allen
White, one of the high priests of the
party, we find striking example of
the decadence or Indifference of the
progressive party. The republicans
in Emporia cast $50 votes, the demo-
Gratis 300 and the progressives 40.
In Shawnee county in which Topeka is
located, the republicans cast about
5000 votes, the democrats about 1900
and the progressives about 400.
Of course it will be said that there
are so few contests in the progress
i've ranks that their votes did not
come out, but even at that the votes
seem to indicate decided lack of in
terest among the progressives. Wheth-
er this means that their vote will
slump in like proportion in the fall
election cannot be fairly predicted,
but it seems quite likely, all things
considered, that the progressive party
in Kansas as elsewhere in the nation
was at high water mark two years
ago.
When we find both the republican
and the democratic candidates work.
ing tooth and toe nail for the nomina-
ton, as they have been doing in Kan
sas for weeks past, it at least indi-
Gates that these candidates for Unit
ed States senator, governor and other
important offices think that they will
have a chance to getting elected in
November or else they would be in
different and inactive.
Evidently, therefore, the republic
cans of Kansas are confident over the
outlook and are going into the cleo
ton with purpose to win and with
assurance that their candidates are
likely to be successful at the polls

the Forthcoming democratic flame

cloak room of the house of represen-

belief that the number of democratic

The Views of a Democrat

One of the best speeches made at
the recent republican state assembly
in Denver was made by the veteran
editor of the Boulder Camera, L. C..
Paddock, lifelong democrat.
Mr.. Paddock has forsaken the DEM
ocratic party in Colorado this year be-
cause Of its failure to uphold the
governor in his stand for law and or
der and for its further failure to make
any reference in resolutions or plat
form, to the vital issues which con-
front the people Of this state.
Mr.. Paddock was delegate in the
convention in support Of his fellow
townsman, A. A. Reed, and when call
ed to the platform told few straight
truths regarding the attitude OF his
fellow democrats, or rather demo-
cratic bosses who are at present in
control of that party.
Mr.. Paddock said:
"When the controversy arose in
Boulder county and other parts of the
state last spring over the coal mines,
and the right of the state to put
down armed insurrection, my pro-
phetic soul told me that it was only
to the republican party that l could
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1914-08-12

look for Straightforward, out-and-
out declaration for law and order to
uphold the honor and dignity Of the
state. Events since that time have
fully justified my belief"
The views of Editor Paddock, and
the position taken by him, will I'M
doubtedly find an Endorsement in the
minds of thousands of democratic vot-
ers upon election day. The democrat
ic party has made its position clear
and it should be opposed by every
citizen Of this state who believes in
the suppression of anarchy and in
promoting orderly liberty under the
law.
The democratic party not only re-
fused to indorse Governor Ammons
but he was actually Missed in its con-
vention. Then it lodged the issue by
adopting no resolutions whatever in
it's assembly; and it crowned its ad-
herence to the forces of disorder by
nominating Thomas NJ. Patterson for
governor, man whose whole career
in Colorado has been one long record
of political, fractional and business
strife. The attitude of the party and
its nominee are consistent. They go
hand in hand for disorder and repud-
iation of the principles upon which
our state government rests.
Mr.. Paddock simply voiced the SEN
timents of thousands of democrats in
his own county and in every other
county in Colorado. They will vote
for republican candidates not so much
because they are republicans but be-
cause these democrats of the rank
and file wish to show to the political
bosses of their own party that they
do not care to be enrolled under the
banner of anarchy and strife.-Colo-
