Teddy has plenty of material to
make winning fight against Presi-
dent Wilson regarding his domestic
administration and handling of the
Mexican situation without criticising
the Administrations German policy
which has received the appreciation of
a large majority of the people who
do not want to become mixed up in
European War. The mothers of
America have not raised their boys
to be massacred by 42-centimetre
guns and Colonel Roosevelt can never
erthuse the thinking people along his
line of reasoning. The horrors of
war are too wildly pictured on the
memories of nine-tenths of the Ameri-
can people to even think of going to
war even under much greater provo
cation than has been offered up to
the present time.

THE SPOTLIGHT ON BULGARIA.

The spotlight of war shines today
upon country where no fighting is
in progress. For the time being, the
limelight is removed from Belgium,
northern France and even Russian
Poland, to shine upon Bulgaria. Upon
the actions of the Bulgars depends,
in larger measure than most people
realize the ultimate outcome of the
present titanic struggle in Europe.
1t must give Gar Ferdinand grim
and sardonic pleasure to be wooed so
ardently by the powers which, but a
year or two ago were issuing ultima
tums to him and obliging him to
sit down to a meal of crow, where
he had expected to gorge himself on
Turkey, well garnished with Greece.
Having borne the brunt of the fight
ing in the war of the Balkan states
against Turkey, Bulgaria quite nat
urally demanded the lions share of
the spoils. But the powers inter-
vened-which is but a trifle more
euphonious word for interfered-and
gave Bulgaria to understand it could
have so much, and not foot more.
Bulgaria has harbored grudge
against the powers, and especially
Russia ever since that day. And
now the powers are sending emis-

A Willard, Colorado, ranchman asks
the query editor of the Denver News
if there is any law in Colorado pro-
tectlng landowners when other peo-
pies cattle crawl through your fences
and you should kill or injure them
for damaging your crops. The edi-
tor advises no such drastic measures
but tells him to collect damages
through the courts. The advice is
probably coed but to those who have
had their lives pestered and their
crops damaged by stock turned into
the public highway to rummage for a
living it is not very satisfactory. Colo
RADIO is deficient when it comes to
proper herd laws. In this state the
cattle barons have all the best of it
while the poor rancher must guard
against damage by roaming stock the
best he can. We have been told of
instances where stock has been de-
liberately turned into the road when
the owners knew it meant damaging
neighbours crops and when there
was not enough feed along the high
way to keep the animals from starv-
ing to death. Such stock becomes
"breechy" and will get through illegal"
fences in no time. We know from
personal experience.

Nineteen hundred and fifteen will
go down in history as one of great

for which we all should be truly thank

There should be plenty of bloody

But it seems the Greasers have the

of his ultimatums.
