Time to Investigate an Investigator
Frank Walsh was the chairman of
the federal industrial relations COM
mission that was supposed to make
an impartial investigation into causes
and conditions that have developed in
dustrial unrest. The minority or West
report of this commission was not ap-
proved by five members of the COM
mission because they not only dis
agreed with Chairman Walsh and
Commissioners Lennon, O'Connell and
Garretson, but they knew that Walsh
had not tried to make fair investiga-
ton. Walsh made it his special busi-
mes to persecute the Rockefellers, de-
nounce Colorado and address labor
meetings. Walsh was not an investi-
gator. Walsh was an attorney for the
United Mine Workers. Walsh has
now made his investigation" public
and its violent utterances and false
statements demonstrate that Uncle
Sam ought to investigate Walsh.
We miss our guess if Walsh did not
get big check for the report If he
didn't he expects his pay in votes, for
as sure as the sun shines Walsh will
run for some political office next year.
And Walsh will be defeated, for fair
minded people-and they are in the
big majority-can't accept Walsh, who
in one public office, has betrayed his
trust and revealed himself trickster
and a demagog. News.

The Return of Protection

In no part of the correspondence Of
German agents, made public recently
is there more significance than that
contained in the expressions Of conf
dence that Germany will be able to
regain all her trade in the American
market once the war is over.
The shrewd commercial agents Of
Germany foresee an immediate move
ment for the restoration Of a Drotec-
tive tariff, according to this cores
pondence The predictions TO this eff
feet, however, are based upon the COM
plimentary view that American busi-
ness men are too shrewd to permit ;he
present non protective tariff to re-
main in operation.
Unless such steps are taken, the
Germans are aware they will not only
be able to regain their old foothold
in the American market, along with
all other European nations that pay
wages lower than the American stan
dard, but will be able to do much more.
They will not only be able to regain
the position they had under the
Payne-Aldrich protective tariff law,
but will be able to take full advantage
of the existing tariff, which permits
more than so per cent of all imports
to come in free.
1t has been said that even the
democratic party, under the pressure
of public opinion in recent years. had
abandoned the policy of free trade.
No democrat ever dares utter peep
about free trade on the stump. Pres
ident Wilson doubtless would have
resented the charge that he was
free-trade candidate. Yet, with free
trade applying to more than go per
cent of all products, by what other
name can the present tariff law be
called Washington Post.

A census of straw hats taken on a

days ago gave evidence that they suIl
predominated; but the straw hat, as
the end of the summer solstice ap-

lures. 1t may disappear within 4 day,
never to be seen until the robins nest
again.

Jersey.
For the six months ending June 30,
1914, the value of exports to the
United States from Plauen, Germany,
was $2,474,774. During the cores
ponding six months of 1915 they fell
to $S99,45 This was the effect of
the war on the Plauen campaign for
the capture Of the American market.
The democrats took as their cam
paign issue in 1912 the high cost of
living, which they blamed to a pro
tective tariff. They promised us low
er prices for commodities to follow
their slash in the tariff rates. Ac-
cording to Economic Bulletin No. 1S,
just issued by the Department Of Ag-
riculture, the oyster has not advanced
in price. Everything else has. On
this subject the democrats have taken
the oyster as their example, and they
are keeping mum.
In the year ended June 30, last,
the Northern Pacific railroad lost over
$7,277 900 in gross revenue but cut
expenses almost $6,O0O,OOO. That saw
ing in expenditures will long be re-
membered by the half fed and poorly
clad families of the men in the north
west who lost their jobs. Like war,
an industrial depression brings suf-
fering not only to the men but TO
their dependent women and children.

Daily Airship Flights by One

Corps of Aviators.

Tuesday, The Children's Day

next winter can be guessed with some
accuracy when the returns from the
harvest are known; and in the mean
time a notion as to what those returns
are likely to be can be gathered from
the displays in the exhibition build
ings.
Reports from all sections of the
county are uniformly favorable, but
there is nothing like personally seeing
the pumpkin to excite a lively and
positive conviction that the farmers
have the goods. If the exhibits are
up to the reports, the immediate eff
feet of the fair should be revival of
confidence and a proportionate in
crease of business.
Attend the fair, not only for the
good you can do the fair, but for the
good the fair can do you. If you have
anything to exhibit, make the entry,
and if you fail to receive a premium,
the failure to receive it may be of
more value than the premium-thati is,
you will find out where, and in what
way, your exhibit failed, and you can
improve on it. The fair is run fair
and premiums are awarded to the
best, regardless of who owns them
Competent judges are hired to pass on
the exhibits; if they err in judgment,
it is not the fault of the fair manage
ment.

CONFIDENCE CREATED THRU

Makes for Substantial Faith in
Prosperity

The disposition to disapprove of any
thing in the nature of a celebration for
merely entertaining purposes does not
hold as against fair whose essential
reason and business is to increase and
improve the products of the farm.
If the rule applies that the bigger
the Lamar fair becomes the more eff
fective it is in promoting the interests
Of agriculture, then the more we help
the fair the more we help ourselves.
Without agriculture there would be no
Lamar, and the Lamar of the future
will be big in proportion to the pro-
ducts of the farms in the district
whose business centers here.
Applying the general rule to the
particular case, it will be worth while
going out to the grounds to get a
slant on the prospects of the immed-
late future. The condition in the city

Hollands View

In the way of preparedness for de-
fense it is Hollands new plan to make
trained soldier Of every available
man. By law that went into effect
last July the number of thoroughly
instructed soldiers will be increased
from $4,000 to 55O,O00. Many hither-
to exempt must now serve. This class
includes certain students, men who are
the sole support of families, and those
whose brothers are already serving.
During the last ten years an average
of $4,000 men yearly were exempt for
reasons that will no longer be ac-
cepted. Only the physically unfit will
now be omitted. Hollands opinion of
the situation is that every able bodied
man must be trained in camp and be
held in readiness for active service if
necessary. Holland no longer dreams
of territorial aggression or playing the
role Of conqueror. Its new military
law is intended to defend itself from
any monarch of that class who may
threaten it, or undertakes to tamper
with its acknowledged rights under
international law. The mouth of the
river on which Antwerp is built is in
Holland. Airships may be careless
about passing over Hollands terri
tory. After careful consideration of
the military necessities of the time,
the leading Dutch statesmen have de-
cided against any halfway measures,
and will instruct in camp every man
who is bodily capable of going there.
The temple of peace is in Holland,

Chas. Maxwell, owner Of the Prov
ers County Fair, has made contract
with the Lincoln Beachey corps of
aviators of Chicago for daily airship
exhibitions at the fair here. Mr. Max
well has had some trouble in the past
with aviators, and this year onI' sign
ed up after he got a contracs to suit
him, one which not only requires the
aviator to fly to get mis- money. but
compels him to bring au IirshiO with
him well equipped and in good order
and having an engine of one hundred
horse power, so there can be no ex-
cuses The late Lincoln Beachey dis
proved the old theory that this air was
too light to successfully fly in, as he
succeeded in doing all the daring
been done anywhere in the world. His
corps of aviators have the benefit of
his experiments and are daring and
successful aviators who will furnish a
real aviation treat for our people.
Look over your premium list Mr..
Farmer and Stockman and you will see
a big list of liberal premiums for all
lines of stock. Bring in the best of
your live stock and make a real stock
show here for once. 1t will pay your
expenses financially and be boost for
the live stock industry here such as
was never known before. Mr. Max
well in addition to offering these lib
eral premiums has gone TO the ex-
pense Of employing two experts from
the Fort Collins college for the judg-
ing and they alone will be of big bene-
fit to you if you bring your stock in
for them to judge. We have the stock
in the county and all that is needed is
to show it.
The kitchen department has been
growing so rapidly of late years that
Mr.. Maxwell has engaged a lady ex-
pert from the Fort Collins college as
judge in this department. All of the
ladies are cordially invited TO exhibit
their work in this line and get the
benefit of her knowledge and advice
free.

know hat it is impossible for these

counted upon to provide the impulse
for the engine. on the surface the
