With the advent of American SOL
diers and sailors at Vera Cruz pros
perity hit the place. When the ma
tives realized this, and that they
were being protected and that their
property was safer from confiscation
than ever before, they showed that
they would gladly be conquered every
day in the week, writes Jack Lon
don, who is there for Golfers Week
ly. This recalls story that used to
be told of Ell Paso county when it
was vast sheep range. There were
many sheep herders of Mexican blood
there who were American citizens and
voters. 1t is related that Demo-
cratic speaker at school house out
on the plains told his hearers that
Senator Chaffee, leader of the Colo
RADIO Republicans, had said at Denver
that he could go to Ell Paso county
and buy every Mexican vote with a
sack of flour. Instead of arousing
Indignation. the speaker was amazed
when his hearers arose and offered
three cheers for Chaffee.

the exception of Keating--hid out
during the winter insofar as home
affairs were concerned.
Governor Ammons was in delicate
position, and it was generally consid-
cred that he needed the best advice
that could be given him. Senator
Thomas is one of the greatest law
yers in the country; he has had large
executive experience and has been the
adviser of many public men. Did
he come forward and take his chances
at extinction with the head of the
state party? Not that anybody re-
calls.
Now that the strike troubles have
been put up to the president and may
be kept there until after the election,
the senator gravely comes forth and
starts his campaign on general law
and order platform. Senator Thomas
has been very busy around Washing
ton handling the distribution of off.
ces for Utah, Wyoming and all other
Rocky Mountain states that have nc
Democratic representatives in con-
gress-too busy to pay much atten.
tion to Colorado. The voters have

His sweeping statements are SO plain
ly false that they must even cause
surprise to the few friends he has
left in the state.
The supreme court Of this state
which is now characterized by Lind

"owned like office boys" should forth

from Lindsey the facts upon which
he bases such an assertion.
The fact that Lindsey is giftet

Are the courts of this state, its

Senator Borah breathes a messag,
Of optimism regarding the Republican
party. The Herald has never losl
faith. When Taft ran third two years
ago we were not discouraged. We
did not expect anything else. Through
submissiveness to the powers Tafl
lost the confidence of the people
When he declared in his Winona
speech that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
was the best measure ever passed h.
gave the lie to his previous utter.
ances when he advocated a revision,
downward. Then, again, Taft kept g
lot of dead weights in office. Colo.
rado was cursed with the same old
crowd of twenty years age
who were kept in the saddle through
patronage. notwithstanding all these
defects business conditions were far
better than under the Wilson admin
istration and the voters would be
glad to get back to the old regime
But Taft and others will not cut much
ice in future Republican conventions
and the advanced and progressive
element will be in the saddle. What
we mean by progressive is keeping
up with the times. Under certain
conditions standpatism is all right
but when leaders say they are stand
patters and advocate the same poll.
cies now that worked well ten years
ago, is not keeping step with prog.
ress. If the merchant conducted hi.
business the same today as ten ant
twenty years ago he would not last
long. The Progressive or Bull Moos,
party was the result of standpai
methods and the leaning of Taft tc
big interests. Senator Borah tells oi
the rejuvinated Republican party
brought about by the defeat of two
years ago. The defeat was tough or
some but it was the only way to cui
out the ulcer that was eating the Wit
ais Of the party. 1t is possible divi.

the matter of caring for their lawns

is emphasized, and that is that the

Il know a young lady to whom a
young man has been paying attention

whether it is proper for her to buy

engaged, and the young man has

gumption, the simple honesty, the

coy and alluring sweetness of her
grandmother's day.
She balances precariously between
the determined and independent seek
ing of what she wants (Which may be
hers some day), and the charming
elusiveness of olden days. And be-
tween future proposing and past
seeming to run away from a proposal,
she tacks awkwardly and ungrace-
fully, neither quite daring to come
out and ask for what she wants, nor
vet knowing how to invite invitation

But of all the awkward maneuvers
OF which the girl of to-day is guilty,

Impressions of Shows.

Impressions of Shows.
The first impression of poultry
show is, of course, lasting on the no.
vice, hence 1t is best that the beginner
attend a properly managed and con-
Quoted exhibition. In order to at
tract the novice the fowls should be
Kept in good condition and shown in
neat coops, so they appear at their
best. Sick and defective birds are. of
course, not allowed. AS prizes are
awarded to the best birds according
to standard of fixed rules, the judi
ges VINO place the awards should
know their business thoroughly in
order that their work may not mis-
lead the beginner into n false esti-
mate by awarding prizes to birds of
inferior quality. The officers and
managers of poultry shows should
understand the proper arrangement
OF coops and the proper display Of
the birds in order that the show may
be uniform and harmonious, and
thus appear to advantage before the
general public.
While to arouse interest in stan
dard- bred poultry is the first object
of poultry shows. yet the second is
that of receiving entrance money and
door receipts for the payment Of
prize money and incidental expenses,
such as rental, light, feed etc.
AS the public is slow to patronize
a poultry show by exhibiting birds
and paying admission to see a show
unless they have confidence in the
ability of the officers to make a first
class display, it becomes doubly i'm
portant from a financial viewpoint that
men of good standing and reputation
in the community be placed at the
head of the Management. Very few
poultry shows aim to make a profit
as the hope to advance the cause of
standard bred poultry is the main
reason why businessmen of reputa-
tion and standing can and do afford
to devote their time in working up
interest, and in the management of
poultry shows in thousands of towns
and communities in this country.

In the present state of society, good
