Lest We Forget"

And now, LEST We Forget" let US
sum up the present situation. The
Wilson Administration, having passed
all the vexatious laws it could, is now
trying to assure all business, both big
and little, that it did not mean any
harm. Any suggestions that business
has suffered reverses or that capital
has gone into hiding or that working
men have lost employment have been
treated as "a state of mind That
sort of loss in business or employment
was purely Psychological" The man
who lost employment or who suffered
in business wants to remember this
He does not want to forget it because
we are having spasmodic prosperity in
certain parts of the United States, due
to the demands for war supplies in
Europe. The European war does not
excuse the democratic party for using
up the S5O,000000 balance that was
left in the Treasury when Mr.. Wilson
took hold. 1t does not excuse that
party for losing $10O,OOO,OOO of rev.
enue and a full S1,00O,000,000 of
business and wages. It does not ex-
cuse the Income Tax nor the War
Tax. 1t does not excuse the deficiency
that now exists in the Treasury-that
is to say, the excess of expenditures
ever receipts that must eventually lead
to an issue of bonds or additional tax
es. 1t does not excuse the tendency of
! all legislation of the past two years
toward government ownership and the
destruction of individual enterprise. 1t
does not excuse the violation of demo-
cratic pledges Of retrenchment and
economy, nor does it excuse the most
extravagant Congress in all history.
! It does not excuse fake Antitrust leg
islation, injurious shipping laws and
the deliberate destruction Of American
shipyards by the proposed use Of
American taxes to purchase foreign
vessels. It does not excuse the raids
upon the Treasury for sectional pur-
poses. All these things should be re-
membered and Lest We Forget" let
us take up the United States Treasury
Statements from day to day and dis
cern for ourselves whittier we are
drifting. / have before me the Treas
ury Statement Of August 10th, which
includes in collections all incomes and
war taxes and all revenue receipts on
the democratic basis. For less than
six weeks of the fiscal year of 1915 it
shows that our receipts have been
| SIG, 500, 900 less than they we're for the
same period in 1914, and that our ex-
penditures were S2,3O0,OOO greater
Here is a net loss for six weeks Of
the new year only, of approximately
SIS, 100000.
The democrats have resorted to
every method that can be employed
to wiring the taxes out of business, and
the people, and they are now losing
at the rate of S19,OOO,0OO per six
weeks. The imports from foreign
countries, notwithstanding the war,
are increasing and when the war
closes there will be such an influx Of
foreign goods taking advantage of our
free tariffs that competition in many
lines of business will be out of the
question.

L ne BTOS5 earnings Ol oO IdllLOhu
for the year ended June 80, 1915,
amounted to S1,154, ,23s,4O6 as COM
pared with $1,236, ,2s4, ,534 for the pre-
ceding year. Gross earnings measure
the amount of business done. The
democratoc enthusiast who can see any
great degree of prosperity in these
figures certainly has fertile imagi-
nation or a flexible veracity.
Two years ago, we recall, the A. b.
&c. nations conferred on Mexican af-
fairs. The Niagara conference af-
forded lot of correspondents an ex-
cellent opportunity to visit the Falls.
But did anything helpful or practical
come out of the conference? This
years A. b. conference was held at
Washington and the country hopes its
suggestions will be fruitful. But there
are doubts. Mexico is to be pacified
only by a strong policy, and "watchfull
waiting" has weakened American con-
idence in anything emanating from
the present administration.
On August /, 1912, there were &c.
$40 idle freight cars. There were
practically the same number at the
same time of the year in 1913. That
was when republican laws were in op-
Grafton. In October, 1913, the demo-
cratic tariff laws went into effect.
On August /, 1914, there were 1885,
655 idle freight cars and on the same
date in 1915 the number had increas-
ed to 264, ,343. Facts are stubborn
things.
In the presence Of this burdensome
war tax" we recall with interest the
words of Representative Cox of In
diana February q, 1914. Speaking
to Mr.. Fitzgerald Of New York, he
asked: "If this extravaganza
these enormous appropriations are not
stopped in some way, does not the
gentleman believe that in the course
of a short time the government will
have to come to a system direct tax
alton, such as it had in 1861 to carry
on the war ?" Democracy surely re-
CelNtu llilelg warning.
Representative Carlin of Virginia
says the issue next year will not be
the tariff, but "the foreign policy Of
the Administration" That is no is
sue; that is a joke.
The balance in the general fund Of
the U. S. Treasury dropped to $685.
431 ,490 during the week ending Sat
urday, August Il, compared with over
$3.50, 100000 two years ago. The deficit
from July l to August ID, was $24,-
I'll ,s66.
For the week ending August Z, 1915,
imports entered at 10 principal GUS
toms districts of the United States
were valued at $34 ,294, 900. The duty
collected thereon was S3,432,0OO, an
average ad valorem duty Of 10 per
cent, compared with an annual aver
age ad valorem Of 17.6 per cent for
1913, under republican law.
The republican party can stand
comparisons. The New York Times
Annalist Index Number on wholesale
prices of 25 leading articles or food
for the first week in August, 1915, was
1877, compared with 1887 for the
first week in August, 1913, under re-
publican law. The Index Number for
the year 1914 was 1867 compared with
.139.9S for the year 1913.

Prowers County Fair
Preparations Growing Bigger all the
Time and Fair will Break all
Records in the Valley

MIR. Maxwell mas proven III ehS PeASN
that he never allows any town to beat
his fair, and this year he is going to
lay it over his own record by giving
Prowers county the best fair with the
biggest displays and most entertain
ing program of races and sports ever
pulled off in a town the size of La
mar.
The flood this week did some dam
age to the grounds, but as it came
month before the fair is to be held 1t
will in that time result in the grounds
and track being in better condition
than ever before. The contract has
already been let for an addition of
forty feet on the north end of the
grand stand, which will add sew
eral hundred to its seating "upac-
ity and the reduced price of % cents
will fill it to overflowing at all times.
The conveniences for autos and other
vehicles will be increased also.
The inquiries already show there
will be more and better entries in both
the harness and running races than
ever before, and there will be lot
of new horses that never raced in
this section before as the late date
coming just before the big Denver
meet gives the Lamar fair the ad-
vantage over all others in this sec
ton.
Mr.. Maxwell wants all the school
children of the county to see the fair
on Tuesday free. They will all be
welcomed and the more that come
the better he will be pleased. This is
one of the big racing days of the pro-
gram too and they will have fine
sport. The invitation is extended to
all the children who come from all
sections of the county and adjoining
counties as well.
The premium list will be out the
first of next week and it will offer
bigger and more premiums than ever
before. They can be obtained at the
Register or Sparks offices and all the
stores, or you can write to C. v.
Newman at Lamar and one will be
sent you.
The following letter explains itself
and Mr.. Burch's proposition has been
accepted and the tent will be erected
for the convenience of the publi..
Rest Room at Fair
Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 20, 1915.
Lamar Fair Association,
Lamar, Colo.
Gentlemen:
Have you considered rest room for
your Fair?
We have a number of friends and
customers in your little town, and
would like to offer your Fair Associ-
alton a nice attractive tent, made of
pretty stripe with 6 foot side walls
and an awning on the front, with
three wire cots, three mats for the
same and five or six easy chairs.
These to be billed to your Fair As
sociation free of charge, if your As
sociation in turn will furnish an at
tendant with nice clean sheets and
pillows for these cots.
This makes it very convenient if
any one happens to get hurt or for
any mothers that might attend your
fair with children.
As stated above, we would be glad
to furnish this to your Fair Associa
tion free of charge, if you will erect
the same and take good care of it.
Thanking you very kindly for a
prompt reply, and trusting your Fair
will be big success in every way,
we beg to remain,
Yours truly,
The F. ]. Burch Mfg. Co.

The Supreme Court and the Lawson
Case

Case
1 The decision of the supreme court
of Colorado granting writ of super
sedeas in the case of John X. Lawson,
and also restraining Judge CRANKY
IHillyer from the further trial of these
coal cases will be viewed with grave
concern by the friends of law and or
der throughout this state.
The fact that the decision was given
by a divided court in which five demo-
cratic judges were arrayed upon the
side of Lawson is bound to give rise
to the feeling among many people that
the decision was rendered as much
upon the grounds of political expedi-
ency as upon the real merits of the
case.
The effect of this decision by the
supreme court is to give serious
blow to the administration headed by
Governor Carlson, whose members
have been trying to bring about or
derly processes of law as a substitute
for the torch and the rifle which were
so much in evidence for the last two
years. And it is bound to prove dis
heartening to Attorney General Fred
Farrar, whose office handled this case
with so much vigor and ability that
the jury could do nothing else than
bring in a verdict of guilty against
Lawson; despite the fact that he had
some of the ablest lawyers in the
state as his counsel.
What is the meaning of this YER
dict? 1t means that none of the
"higher ups" in the labor unions can
be found guilty of their crimes. Here
and there a poor Slav or Italian or
Greek or some other deluded follower
of these leaders will be found guilty,
but not the bosses who plot and
scheme and hatch up the strife and
rebellion and insurrection.
The decision of the supreme court
means that Lawson will go free and
thus another miscarriage of justire
will be recorded similar to that il
Idaho when Bill Haywood was releas-
ed. No judge in this state will be
found who is acceptable to Lawson and
his lawyers, for they will file charges
and afIidavits of prejudice against anv
Judge who may be selected.
In thus taking these cases out of
the hands of Judge Hillyer the Sill
preme court has done a grievcus in
Jury not only to Judge Hillyer but to
the entire judiciary of this state.
What Judge will care to sit in the trial
of these cases when he knows that he
is likely to he venomouslv attacked as
preiudiced and that this attack will be
sustained bv our supreme court? Are
onlv iudges IN be narmittad IN sit in
these cases who are favorable to Mr.
Lawson's views7

DES MONIES NEWCOMERS WEEK

We reprint today article from the National Printer
Journalist on the success of Des Moines QoWa) New-
comers' Week" The idea exempifed is that after a
community has secured people residents it should
take at least reasonable interest in their welfare and in
making them feel at home. This is especially true Of
Pacific coast cities because much effort is being made
all the while to attract homeseekers, and most Of them
from long distance away and are strangers in
strange land" Some cities have recognized the neceS
sty for giving attention to the newcomer if salts
fed residents to be made of them, others have
cepted their money if they bought property engaged
in business and then ignored their presence
This is really an important matter because no COM
muity thrive if it embraces large element of dis
contented homesick MEMBERS who only remain in it be-
cause they have tied themselves up in such that
they cannot get away In the reorganization of the
mercal club this point should not be overlooked tt
should be made thoroughly democratic organization
and the membership of newcomers should be invited and
when they in they should be received into full fe
owship, and encouraged to take interest in the af
fairs of the CITY, The hope for the growth of Saem or
any other city is in attracting newcomers of the right
kind and when they locate here trying to make them sat
isfed with the choice they have made.
The Des Moines idea is good one and shows that the
Pacific Coast has no monopoly on the practical and
sensible town boosting schemes.

his own words as if he eished such food better than
