FOSTER FOR STATE AUDITOR

The friends of T. II. Foster OF Victor In this
county and throughout the state. have deter
mined to push him candidate for state
auditor before the democratic assembly and
the primaries. Mr. Foster has resided in the
Cripple Creek District for eighteen years and
has always been prominent in politics and as
n business man. Starting as plain miner,
he has by fidelity and application become
one of the leading business men of Teller
County. For years, as alderman of the City
of Victor he has always been regarded AS the
financial safeguard of the city. Mr.. Foster
served two terms county assessor. In
which position he made most enviable
record. During all that time he was chair
man OF the State Association OF County AS
SCISSORS. to which position he was elected soon
after becoming county assessor. He soon
became known throughout the state as an
authority on taxation and II is due to his ef-
forts, more than those OF any other man In
Colorado, that the scientific taxation is so
prominent In the public mind.
Indeed, legislative committees, as well as
two governors of the state, have largely re-
lied ON him for advice I'm this particular. Ho
Is an excellent accountant, as well as n bust
ness man of high order, and liz superbly quail
iiied to discharge the duties OF state auditor.
The legislature OF 1913 selected Mr.. Foster AS
one OF n committee OF three to audit the
books of the state auditor and treasurer and
the report OF this committee Is said to be the
most complete and exhaustive of It's kind.
His activities In behalf OF the democratic
party and as leading tax authority have
given him wide and popular acquaintance
throughout the state. Genial. popular, com
petent and deserving. his friends predict his
nomination and election. Cripple Creek

Presidents Foreign Policy

Washington Times contains golden
advice for Colorado:
There are some British markets
that Americans might well investi-
gate. For instance, the British
policy of admitting all sugar prac-
tically duty free has been response
BILE for building up perfectly
enormous business in jams, pre-
serves, jellies, confections, pastry
specialties and the like. These are
sent all over the world
Now the sugar supply on which
England has depended is shut off,
and there is no reason why the
United States should not go after
that breakfast table business in
earnest We have more fruits than
England, better variety of them
and we pack them rather more at
tractively, The Californians do
these things rather better than
anybody else in the world. They
have the sugar at their door, both
their own states beet sugar and
also the Hawaiian and oriental ar
ticle. They should be in position
to keep the British producers very
busy protecting their own hold
ings."
Colorado, like California, raises
the fruit and makes the sugar.
England raises little or no fruit
and does not make a pound of
sugar.
Yet England has cheap sugar
which enables it to capture the
worlds market for jams, preserves,
confections, etc, and Colorado has
dear sugar and its fruit rots in its
orchards.
What sort of economic folly is
thisY Is it possible that the peo-
pie of Colorado and California will
continue to tolerate these condi-
tions?
1t is fact that you can buy
sugar in war-swept England today
for less than you can buy the same
sugar in this country, where much
of it is made. That is what the
sugar trust does to us when for
eign competition is paralyzed, and
yet the monopoly has the nerve to
ask congress to restore the tariff
on sugar 80 it may continue to rob
us after the war is over and com
petition has been restored
METHODS OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
On August Is the house passed
LaFollette's seamen's bill, meas
ure which, in the opinion of many,
will do more to put the American
flag back on the sea than anything
congress has done in one hundred
years,
The shipping trust fought the
bill tooth and toe.nail, 1t was tied
up in committee for full year
while the representatives of the
monopoly plotted its destruction.
In the face of all this, when the
bill was brought out on the floor of
the house, where the American
people could see what every con-
gressman did, the champions of
the shipping trust would not ask
for roll-call and the bill passed
by unanimous vote.

ors to protect its friends 30 they

publicans are correspondingly de-
pressed. A few days ago, at the
suggestion of Democratic leader
Underwood, the house adopted

The Republicans especially the
"standpat" variety-objected Wig
orously, but the Democratic ma
jority had its way.
President Wilson feels that with
Europe convulsed by the most stu
pendous war in the worlds history
congressman and senators should
be ION the job" Politics can wait.
Congress may remain in contin-
uous session until March 4, 1915,
and of course the president may
call an extra session of the sixty
fourth congress to convene on that
date. This means that the con-
gressional spellbinders will have
slight opportunity to participate in
this falls campaign. The Demo-
Gratis view this prospect with equa-
nimity.
1--WE have nothing to explain
The voters understand our posi-
ton. We are standing by the
president and supporting his poll
cies. If there is any explaining
to do the Republicans must do it."
That is the Democratic attitude.
| cannot help feeling it is win
ming one.
STANDPATTERs SEEK COVER.
One of the interesting develop
ments of the situation is the at
tempt of the standpatters to shift
their position on the presidents
foreign policy. A few weeks ago
they were filling the Congressional
Record with the bitterest denunci.
ations of Wilson diplomacy. He
had surrendered to England, he
was not protecting American inter
ests in Mexico, he was the laugh
ing stock of Europe, etc, etc, ad
infnitum, al nauseum.
In Ohio Harding, the RepubIi-
can candidate for senator, can
vassed the state before the prima-
ries denounoing "watchful wait
ing" and grape juice diplomacy"
On August % the Republicans of
Ohio met for the purpose of adopt
ing a platform and this same Hard
ing bobbed up with plank in
dorsing the presidents foreign
policy.
Boss Penrose of Pennsylvania
began his campaign for reelection
by promulgating platform with
two outstanding planks. One was
long calamity howl and the other
was categorical condemnation of
everything Woodrow Wilson ever
thought, wrote or uttered concern
ing the relations between foreign
countries and the United States.
Now the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania are drafting their state plat
form and the leaders from all sec.
tions of the state agree that any
criticism of the president woull
probably prove fatal.

work of apportionment and distribution is per-
formed by a committee consisting of four OF
the trustees of the association, the Mayor OF
New York, the postmaster of New York ana
the president of the Chamber OF Commerct II
the State OF New York.
1t is interesting to observe that number OF
the founders of the association are still, after
thirty-hve years, actively connected with IT,
Among these are Charles Lanier, who has been
its treasurer from the beginning and still serves
in that capacity; George Macculloch Miller, ITS
honorary president and Jacob Schiff
The growth, both of the association and its
work. has been very large and on the VIII lie
pretty steady. The receipts have generally n
creased from year to year, excepting in l., -
'0o-l0, when there was a serious falling of, Jut
the increase since has been so marked al to
bring last years receipts up to probably as
high figure as they would have reached hac
the growth not been temporarily checked in
these three lean" years.
In 1890 the association comprised only
fifteen hospitals, and its receipts were S2t,-
ass OF. That was an average of sl,7o3 81 TOR
each member. In 1914 the membership hal
more than trebled, amounting to forty-sevcr,
but the receipts had increased by far create
ratio, amounting to $l337s4 So, or an average
of S2,s46 AZ each. The amounts actually 7e-
ceived vary, however, very much from the aver
age according to the size OF the hospitals, their
proportonate amount of free work and their
cost of operation Last year, as for many
years, Mount Sinai led the list. 1t had given
in the preceding year no fewer than lo6'6ls
hospital days of free treatment, and the aver
age cost of its ward patients was 81 81 ~"

reckoned at 81, givirg" the hospital 2l32so
credit units and making its spportonment
$lo6l7 70. Five others received more than
$4,000 each, while three got only $3.50 each.
1t may be added that the payments OF tns
city to these associated hospitals or account Of
public charges amounted to only IL per cent Of
the cost of the free work done. There was
left no less than $2,7s2,3S1 40 which had TO be
secured from benevolent sources The issaf'
day and Sunday gifts were-ohiy a little way
toward it. How this great sum is to be secured
each year is vital and paramount 'ivie PROB
lem, in the solution of which the hospital as
ISOLATION invites general cooperation. II
not we'll that of the 1000 beds in these torty-
seven hospitals about 1000 were unoeeupiea
lats year, not for lack of sufferers who needed
to occupy them, but for lack of funds TO main
tain them.
All of which leads to the practical and per
sonal inquiry: What did you give to the cor
lection yesterday or what are you going 20

doubt if there is any other natural growth,
animal or vegetable, extinct or existent, that
varies in color and texture as much as the
mammoth tusk. Some, very few, that come
into the North Siberian mart are as white as
elephant tusks. These have come straight
from quarter of million years cold storage
discovered in a carcass that eternally frozen
soil or a deposit of ice has only recently
yielded up.
Then there are tusks that look like stained
mahogany, highly polished near the point,
though coarsening in grain toward the butt.
There are blends of mahogany and white
and mahogany and cream.

They do more than that They now provide
an additional basis for distribution of funds. 1t
was decided last year to take into account in
making the apportionments not only the num-
Der of days of free treatment, but also the cost
of care and treatment Of ward patients up to
but not exceeding 81 day. These two ele-
ments are multiplied, the one by the other, and
the resulting product gives the number OF
credit units, upon which distribution is based.
Thus if one hospital gives 100000 days of
free treatment and its ward patients st only
81 day it has just 100000 credit units. If
another hospital gives only $4,000 free days, but
its patients cost 81 day each, it also gets
100000 credit units, and the two institutions
share equally in the distribution of funds. The

ontology" "The numerous fossil tusks of the
mammoth which have been discovered and
recorded may be ranged under two averages
of size-the larger ones at eh feet, the smaller
at feet" The latter probably belonged to
the female mammoth, he added.
There is no tendency in the tusks to fall into
any particular average of size. All sizes are
encountered with equal promiscuity, except
that naturally the very large and very small
are scarcer than specimens ranging from four
to eight feet.
Male and female tusks are quite simply dis
tiguished, but by no means solely by the length,
though COW tusks run shorter than bull The
bull tusk tapers considerably from socket to
tip. The COW tusk is almost the same breadth
throughout, beginning to taper perceptbly
only few inches from the tip. Moreover, the
hollow socket in the female mammoth's tusk is
shorter than in the males. This is distinc-
tive sex trait in tusks Of calves insufficienty
grown to indicate tapering or lack of it.
How long do mammoth tusks run7 All! l
see the ever omniscient Encyclopedia Britain
MICA holds up its hand:
The tusks -. in the adult males attained
a length of from g to 10 feet measured along
the outer curve"
One of the famous Beechey finds at Esch-
scholtz Bay, Alaska, in 1926, ran feet 2 inchej,
part Of the tip being missing. The tusks OF the
Adams specimen, now at St. Petersburg ran
feet inches.
Well, of those l examined at the mammoth
mart, twenty or thirty ran between g feet
and 10 feet inches A few ran II feet and
an inch or two One 1l-footer in particular
had a skin OF beautifully symmetric grain, like
a brown kid glove seen under magnfying
glass; it was mahogany color, not a crack in
it, sound as the tusk of freshly killed ele-
plant Another tusk ran II feet S inches.
One tusk ran II feet l inch.
The monster tusk of the lot ran II feet

tin,s ranging the entire spectrum Under
stand, however, It is only the glazed skin On
the tusk that is tinted. Beneath one-tenth Of
an inch of this, and layer Of brownish or
creamy bark" perhaps one-quarter of an inch
deep, is white ivory.
But only about quarter of the tusks are IN
such fine preservation The rest, in color and
bark, are extraordinarily like weather-worn od
limbs of trees, the dead wood you find under
foot in forests. Some Of them, recolleet, have
been lying exposed to rain and snow, frost
and thaw and sunshine since thousands OF
years before the earliest Assyrisn civilization.
And there were the tusks that had been en-
posed to water action-pounded about the
Arctic beaches and rolled along the pebbly bed
of swift creeks swollen with the springs melted

and rock for years-perhaps centuries-with

Handling a thousand or two mammoth tusks
is instructive.
You learn in day, for instance, that the
scientific world is quite wrong in describing
and picturing the typical mammoth as beast
with tusks so curly that they form almost
circle. Not one tusk in ten forms third OF
circle, not one in twenty even a semi-circle.
Nor is this curve merely matter of growth.
Some of the biggest tusks form only third
of a circle, some of the smallest two-thirds of
a circle

HISTORY OF A TUSK; THE TRACE
DIES OF COMMERCIAL CONQUEST.

How were they found, these tusks, and what
of the men who found them3 Which had
been hacked from shaggy-hided monster OF
flesh and blood, newly exposed by landslide
on the thawing cliff of a Kolymsk creek3
Which had been seen afar off, dark, curly
things sticking out of the level sea OF snow
on the Taimyr? Which had been dredged IN
a trawl from the shifting bars OF the Lena
delta? Which had been smashed or sawn
from gigantic white skull bleaching in
tangle of tundra brambles2 Which had been
raked up from the sandy beaches of Now 81
Dir or brought to view by the gale-driven ice
packs that pound along the undermined cliffs
of the Liakhov isles?
Yakut and Samoyede, fungus and Lamut,
Yukaghir, Ostak and Tchukcha, men of races
you have never heard Of had ranged the un>
mapped Arctic wilds for this trove, now mere
grst to the mill of commerce, flung like so
many bales of cotton or kegs of pork, into
traders cellar
Dangers innumerable had been braved for
these tusks. men had been manned and killed.
Leprosy and snow blindness, frostbite and
starvation, lingering deaths in crevasses in the
ice Frail skin canoes capsized by the uneX-
pected shifting of that awkward cargo. Death

the teeth of ravening wolf pack-flung,
like so many bales of cotton or kegs of pork,

They brought the tusks out into the sun

were perfect, those were pretty good; here
were some with serious flaws. These were
good tusks with bad spots; those were bad
