Hon. Edward Keating writes
the editor in effect that it would
be little short of treason to de-
sert the president at this time
to come home to campaign Mr..
Heating needn't fear the conse-
quences. The third district will
show its appreciation of his 10y
atty to duty by good solid vote
in his favor, and will return him
with good solid majority. We
wer4 greatly in hopes we could
have Congressman Keating at
our fair, but we appreciate tie
necessity Of his remaining at hi.
post. The democrats of the
county were for him anyway,
and we believe that many of our
republicans will support him.

My Dear Mr.. Konkel:-
| take the liberty of sending
YOU herewith what is known as
THE Taylor Homestead and
Desert Land Law which was
approved by President Wilson to
day, as follows:
THAT any person otherwise
duly qualified to make entry or
entries of public lands under the
homestead or desert land laws,
who has heretofore made or may
hereafter make entry under said
laws, and who, through no fault
Of his own, may have lost, for.
feited, or abandoned the same,
shall be entitled to the benefits
of the homestead or des.sett land
laws as though such former ee-
try or entries had never been
made; Provided, that such appli-
cant shall show to the satisfa fac-
ton of the Secretary of tn IN
terror that the prior entry or en-
tries were made in good faith,
were lest, forfeited, or abandoned
because of the matters beyond
his control, and that he has not
speculated in his right, nor com
mitted a fraud or an attempted
fraud in connection with such
prior entry or entries"
Thanking you for giving the
matter such mention as you may
deem it's Importance merits, | re-
main,
Yours very respectfully,
Edward Il. Taylor.

In the matter of being "'open

the Democrat again accuses 1t,
self in last weeks issue: If sc
being is II matter of hiding ones
head under cover of false af
fidavit --then the Herald is not
guilty.
It's again the case of the
Democrats misconception OF
the expires sion. AS an instance,
if the officials editor went be-
fore grandjury and agreed to
turn states evidence to tell,
for an Instance, who it was that
induced him to make the atfida-
Wit, anl why so, giving at the
same time the names of the
owners of the Democrat at the

that would be real case of

As te "AbuSe"
and "InSinuati0n.'

Mex to being "open and "a
bove board, "our worthy contem-
porary S particular fort is free
dom from abuse and insinuation;
thereby of course not in
sinnating that the Herald is
guilty of these infractions of
courtesy and propriety.
We have an abiding faith that
our worthy brother aims to be
all that he claims TO be; but
that, as in the case of the fais e
affidavit, he has wrong concep-
,ior of the Significance of the
terms used, both by the der
aid and by himself,
Insinuation" is one of the
terms used by himself, the
meaning of which seems to
evade his understanding. AS
an instance, when the Herald
offers $500 apiece sor enough
atfidavits to prove that Tie
democrats affidavit Of owner
ship gave the government the
Information wanted and for
which it was m lde, there
WASH t any insinuation about it,;
not any more than Offering So 90
for Information OF the where
abouts of Il horse.
Again, as to the term abuse -
When tie Herald states posi-
lively and ,uneluivocalIy that
tha Democrat affidavit of
ownership gave the names OF
two or three. persons who never
had one dollars interest in the
paper, and omitted the namcs OF
three county officials whose
money was in the Democrat al
that very time-that'S neither
abuse nor insinuation, but &
plain statement of fact.
Take this statement of fact
as an instance that Enocl
koontz charged soma of the
court attorneys Of being "Hogg
foggs." J." If true, it could not be
classed as either abuse or insinu.
alton; and if not true, The thing
would be TO show up its falsity.
In the case of the Herald s
charge Of q false af1idavit, if the
charge were false instead of the
affidavit. it might be considered
t, be abuse; and we will say now
that when the fair COMMITTEES
gets cnongiI attidavi's to prove
that tie Herald S charge is
wrong, right then we viii! make
an abject apology for having
made it,
! No, Gear brother, the Herald
dosn't insinuate, and has never
yet stopped to abuse: has never
even spoken of the source it
came from" as in the case of a
certain contemporary on Il few
occasions.

We believe that here it would
be onportulle to speak of some
of the parties who have worked

on it's feet and to made it u sue

First OF all, to the valued con-
tributors of the Herald is due the
everlasting gratitude of every
man, woman and child in the
county, as except for the eter-
nal persistence of those con-

Without seeming to worry that
lady With over-mucl praise. all
Springfield realizes the fact that
it was Mrs. Bailey that made
the fair financially possiblei and
she did it on the very first day
of her work.

the fair committee, the Doubt
Ing Thomases had been nodded
into enthusiastic fair workers,
and the Cant Be Dones" had
taken downtheir signs and were
acting as valued seconds to tbe

Doubling Thomases.
While the money she gave of it
self merits special appreciation
and praise, thaJ was II small lac-

to help and her ability to work.
AS stated by the Herald at the
time, one good enthusiastic
worker is worth d whole battal-

Mrs, Bailey proved to be that
one good worker.

TO THE VOTERS
OF CRESTED BUETE
The following extracts from the
principles of socialism will ex-
plain the stand of the Social
ist party on the municipal
affairs of Crested Butte
which may be affected
by the coming, mu-
nicipal election

The aims of socialism are to organize
industry and society so that every in
dividual shall be secure In life, liberty
and the persuit of happiness asrecited
in the Declaration of Independence of
the United States. Socialism comes
to rescue the people from the fast in
creasing and successful assault of
capitalism upon the liberty of the
Individual
The Socialist movement, therefore,
is world wide movement. 1t knows
Of no conflict of interest between the
workers of one nation and the workers
of another. 1t stands for the freedom
of the workers of all nations; and,
in so standing it stands for the full
freedom of humanity.
Socialism means that all those
things upon which the people in COM
mon depend, shall by the people in COM
mon be owned and administered. Those
utilities which affect the whole people
should be collectively owned, and those
affecting locality should be munich
pally owned. Under the first class
come the great railway systems cover
ing the different countries and under
the second class come lighting and heat
ing plants and water supply systems.
If these things are good thing for the
few who own them now, they would be
good things to be run in the interest of
the whole people or those affected by
those systems.
Socialism means then that the tools
of employment shall belong to their
creators und users; that all production
shall be used for the direct benefit of
the producers; that tiss making Of
goods solely for profit shall come to an
end; that we shall all be workers to-
gether for the common good; and that
all opportunities shall be open and
equal to all men. The constitution of
the United States says that private
purposes without just compensation, so
by giving just compensation all utilities
may be taken for the public good.
To these ends, all Socialist candidates
must pledge themselves, as the party
of the people, to use all political power,
as fast as it shall be entrusted to them.
in the interest of the people equally.
our appeal for the trust and the suf
frage of our fellow men is at once m
appeal for their common good and free
dom, and for the blossoming of human
ity in common. In pledging ourselves.
and those we represent. to be faithful
to the appeal which we make, we be-
lieve that we are but preparing the
soil of that economic freedom from
which will spring the freedom of the
humanrace.
