said Samson, sharply. "You are coun-

Il reckon" drawled the other. that's
a matter we'll work out as we goes
along. Depends on how obedient ye
air."
I'm responsible for the peace and
quiet Of this county," continued Sam
son. We're going to have peace and

The Judge looked about him. The in
dications did not appear to him indica-
tive of peace and quiet.
"Air we?" he inquired.

an unlawful and armed assembly.

Samson turned and walked through

Samson went to the hotel, accompa-
MED by Callomb. A half-hour later the
two were back at the courthouse with
half-dozen companions. The yard
was empty. Samson carried his faith

prepared In advance, had flashed to
Frankfort.
Mob holds courthouse - need

And a reply had flashed back:
use local company-Callomb COM
manding" So that form Of law was
met.
The courthouse doors were closed
and its windows barricaded. The place
was no longer a judicial building 1t
was a fortress. AS Samson's party
paused at the gate warning voice
called:
Don't come no nigher!"
The body-guard began dropping
back to shelter.
II demand admission TO the court
house to make arrests" shouted the
new sheriff. In answer a spattering of
rife reports came from the Jail win
dows. Two of the Souths fell. At a
word from Samson Callomb left on a
run for the hotel. The sheriff himself
took his position In a small store

What Free Sugar VIII Mean.

The Democrats will have a hard
time explaining that schedule in the
tariff law which places sugar in the
free list next year." said Frank A.
Singer OF New Orleans. Down our
way we believe there will be action
by the next congress to restore the
duty on sugar. Some idea of the op-
GRAFTON of the new sugar schedule may
be had by a statement of the govern
ment figures under the Underwood
law. These show that from March
/. 1914. when the reduced rate went
into effect, up to March /. 1915, the
revenue was $i9,794.000. For the
same period. II the duty on sugar had
not been reduced. there. would have
been revenues amounting to S6s, ,000.-
900. a difference OF practically $751;
100000. The refund for which the
government is responsible under q
decision of the court OF appeals. five
per cent on all goods coming in over.
seas. at this rate would be $4,000. 900.
II sugar goes on the free list May /.
1915, as contemplated by the Under
wood law. there will be an annual
loss OF duty of s6s.0OO.O0O.
Notwithstanding the reduction IN
duty and the contemplated placing OF
sugar ON the free list. the price OF
sugar has gone from st.70 in June.

NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE
Possibility That Another Generation
Of Fighters May Utilize Their

Here Is a war comment from George

The Russian army has one advan-
tage over all other armies. and that 10
whiskers. II has an ENHANCEMENT OF
whiskers that nothing can penetrate
not even lyddite. shrapnel or slugs. A
Russian soldiers whiskers are not the
hossy kind that toss around with
every passing gale. They are SO dura-
BILE that when he falls on them he does
not even bend them; he drives them
into the ground. The only time Rus.
sian soldier is in danger is when he
turns the back OF his head to the en-
emy. The other armies may have the
best tactics. armament. discipline.
spirit and patriotism. but the Russian
army has the chilled.steel whiskers.
The most difficult Job q Red Cross
nurse has TO perform. after the Rus
sian army has finished an engage
ment. is to comb the bullets and
shells out of the soldiers whiskers.
Fifty years from now. when the next
great war Is fought. 1t will not be n
question OF rapid-fring. long.range
guns: Il will be n question OF whis-
kers. The world will ask which army
has the best whiskers. Whiskers will
decide the battle. Nations will no
longer waste money in buying big
guns and testing them. They will
grow whiskcrs for national defense
and they will test an armys efficiency
by drawing up company on tho
parade grounds and allowing a husky
coal HEAVIER to go down the line and
hit each soldier In the face with an

COLORADO IN Line
State AssuredIy With Republican
Party.
People of the West Recognize the Ne.
cesslty Of Placing the Government
In the Hands Of Capable
Statesmen.

Representative-elect Charles r. Tim
berlake of Sterling will be the only
Republican member of the Colorado
delegation in the next house, but that
is one better for the Republicans
than the present representation. Mr..
Timberlake was elected to succeed
Representative Seldomridge.
1t doesn't make any difference
about what we did in the congression-
al elections" says Mr.. Timberlake.
Colorado next year will be found in
the Republican column without the
shadow of doubt. 1t is true the
Democrats elected three members of
the house and United States sena-
tor but there were local conditions
that had a large influence. The fact
that the state is Republican is shown
by the election of every state officer
save one, the state senate and house.
In my judgment, we shall turn the
Democrats completely out of power
next year. There is dissatisfaction
among the people due to disapproval
of the state and national administra-
tions we in Colorado have no pa
tience with the policies advocated and
pushed by the administration in Wash
ington. Free sugar does not set well.
nor does the attitude of the admin
istration in its foreign policy. and its
general economic program. Had it
not been for unusual conditions there
is no doubt Colorado would have elect
ed Republican United States sena-
tor last November. Business in the
state has not been good, but it is i'm
proving some. The state once more
has assumed sovereignty in the labor
troubles. and | believe we shall set
tie this matter soon. In most of the
mining districts where there were
strikes operations have been resumed,
and there is every prospect that the
mining industry will get busy again
soon."
