SIX MILLION MORE!

IL; S one-half the world gone mad
What words may be properly used
with which to characterize the war
frenzy with which the nations of Eu-
rope are today surcharged? 1t is an
+ anced that beside the millions now
in battle arrayed six million more are
in readiness for the conflict and are
simply awaiting the orders ts-"For-
ward. march,"
Six million more men for the Euro
pean war!
Six million men withdrawn from
the fields and mines and sheps and
varied lines of industry!
Six million more homes darkened!
Six million more families thrown
upon the charity of cold world!
If from out this saturnalia of hor-
row Europe can emerbge with enough
of recuperative power to ever again
hold up her head it will be admitted
that there is hope for the race, and
that the millennium may after all be
not so very far away.

SECRETARY REDFIELD IN MER.
RY MOOD.

AS the holder of cabinet position,
Secretary Redfeld of the department
of commerce, may feel that he is
obliged to champion or defend every
cause with which the national admin
istration is identified, but in doing so
he should have a care against max
ing himself ridiculous in his public
utterances.
Secretary Redfeld delivered an ad-
dress before the New Orleans cham
which he confessed himself unable to
see anything but humorous situation
in the opposition which has developed
against the ship purchase act.
The secretary of commerce is quot
ed as saying:
Good men and wise men come to
me with the statement that operation
of ships now by government would
involve it in international difficulties.
That is funny. 1t is really joke.
My department now has offers to pur-
chase ships that could not get us into
trouble. Furthermore, there is no ma
ton in the world that would seek a
cause for trouble with us now. We
are the only nation that can furnish
supplies to the rest of the world.
They need us and want our friend
ship"
There are times, for example, on
the Fourth of July, when eagle
. screaming is in good form, when we
can congratulate ourselves upon that
grand isolation which on the face of
things at least, seems to make US for
ever immune from trouble. There are
other times when it would seem to be
the better wisdom to look "a situation
squarely in the face.
Does Secretary Redfeld suppose for
one moment that in the present state
of European turmoil either England
or Germany would hesitate to pounce
upon an American merchant ship If
there was the least suspicion that the
cargo was intended for the hands OF
the enemy or in danger of falling into
the hands of an unfriendly power?
The United States is an interna-
tional power and has confidence in its
own capacity to take care of itself
Each Of the foreign nations not in
volved In war entertained similar feel
fnrs OF confidence In themselves be-
fore a gun was fired. That Is no signI

THE PROPOSED WAR MATERIAL
EMBARGO.

The discussion as to whether this
country should prevent the expsrta-
ton of war materials to belligerents
or whether a free field should be
maintained for all comers is becom-
ing more and more animated.
The Literary Digest submitted to
one thousand representative newspa-
pers the following query:
"Do you favor the stopping by law
the expectation of war materials ia
belligerents ?"
Out of 440 replies, 244 answered
NO." 167 "Yes," and 20 were non
committal.
Considering in a special group the
replies from cities of over $4,000 in
habitants it found the Noes" even
more in the majority, the vote stand
ing So to "a. In turning to the cities
and towns of smaller population it
found opinion much more evenly di-
vided, l64 replies opposing embargo
legislation and l40 approving it.
The debater runs between those who
take the commercial viewpoint and
say; "Sell the belligVents whatever
'hcy will pay for; our business has
suffered enough already because of
.he war, so let's take what compensa-
ton we can get" and those who in
ist that an embargo policy is the
'ci ly logical course for nation that
ics'res peace and neutrality"
II these replies are cariterion It
would appear that the commercial
rather than the purely humanitarian
view is the one which dominates in
ihis country today. And as it has
been observed before-we are living
IN commercial age.

Motor Club Wants
Herr Reappointed

At the last meeting of the Motor
club the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, the San Juan basin, COM
prising the counties of Archuleta, La
Plata, San Juan and Montezuma in
Colorado, and the county of San Juan,
New Mexico, has within it scenery
and ancient ruins unsurpassed in any
other portion of the world, which
scenery and ruins can be made acces-
sible by the construction of perma-
nent highways connecting its terri
tory with other portions of the state
of Colorado; and,
Whereas, the state highway COM
mission of the state of Colorado, dur
ing the past year has undertaken to
connect this vast territory in south
western Colorado and northern New
Mexico with the eastern portion of the
state by the construction of high
way in the vicinity of what is known
as Elwood Pass, which when complet-
ed will give the people of his section
an outlet and furnish the means
whereby large numbers of tourists
can come into this portion of the
country and visit the many points of
interest, including the Mesa Verde
ruins of the ancient cliff dwellers in
Montezuma county; and,
Whereas, Mr.. C. E. Herr, the pres
ent state highway commissioner for
the district comprising the counties
OF southwestern and western Colo
RADIO, has performed his duties as
such in an able, energetic and con-
scientious manner, always working in
unison with the other members of said
board, and thoroughly understands
the conditions and needs of the peo-
pie in his district, and especially the
needs Of the section Of his district

Will boys never learn to be care
full when handling firearms? La Pla-
ta county has furnished many sad ex-
amples of the carelessness of handling
guns. We have in mind half dozen
or more boys with loving parents and
bright futures, victims of inexcusa-
BILE carelessness. Whether it is the
parents or the boys to blame we can
not say, but no boy should be permit
ted to handle a gun unless he shows
great care. and no matter how care
full boy may be, two or more should
not be permitted to go hunting, un-
less accompanied by an older person
to look after them, and, above all
things, it should be impressed on a
boy how to handle a gun, never per-
the muzzle to have any angle
except downward one out of range
of any living object 1t is true that
with all due diligence on the part Of
parents and guardians accidents will
occasionally happen among the best
trained boys, but insistencs upon
proper handling of firearms will do

Colorado is not the only state
where the Legislators employ double
the number of people required to
do the work. An investigation of the
charges of Gov. Clarke, of Iowa, de-
veloped the fact that the senate of
that state had double the number Of
employees necessary and that they
were in each others road. That it
requires 100 or more clerks to per-
form the clerical work of the Colo
rado assembly is preposterous, but
the system of giving clerk to every
legislator has been in vogue so many
years that it appears difficult to
change. BY giving every member a
clerk there are no jealousies over en-
ployes whereas if only one clerk to
every two members there would be
much feeling engendered occasional
ly. For this reason there is not much
prospect of a change as long as we
continue to have an unweidly assem-
bly,. A legislature or commission COM
posed of 13 or 15 members elected
from judicial districts would save the
state vast sum of money and ac-
compllsh great deal more for the
state. The present system is surely
bunglesomc as well as aggravating.

The San Juan people, and of working
in broad way for the development
of the whole San Juan country. 1t is
prohibited by its charter from at
tempting to serve the selfish interests
of any person or class of persons,
and it can take no part in any fac
tiJial controversy.
The Exchange will found and main
tain the best club and exhibit rooms
in the southwest-where the members
may meet and "get together and
-ah travellers, and business men
fr;ln other sections, and investors,
may make their headquarters.
With the club as headquarters, the
main service of the Exchange will be
to go to work and get for the San
Juan the things the San Juan needs
the improvements that you want to
STE come. A paid and competent sec
1aary will give his whole time to the
work, and the directors will also be
compelled to spend a great deal of
tteir own time in the public service,
without compensation.
Full membership is $i.5O per month
as dues. Persons not residents of Du-
ango may be nonresident members
at $500 per year as dues. The Ex-
| change already has over 275 members,
who have pledged over $500 to the
founding fund, in addition to their
monthly dues. The Exchange will
need, in order to start right and do
is work right, at least 400 members,
and more money for the founding
fund, as there are no initiation fees.
You are invited and requested to
join. You will help most by joining
now. On the inclosed membership
blank, your name should be signed in
the first column; in the second col
umn should be placed whatever sum
you desire to contribute to the fund
for starting and furnishing the head
| quarters and club; in the third column
should be placed the amount you de
sire to contribute per month for the
first one year, which needs to be large
enough to cover the monthly member
ship dues.
Cordially and earnestly, we ask you
to join in and help. The Exchange
is not an experiment and it is rot
temporary. 1t is the perpanent,
broad, building-up institution that our
country here has so long needed. 1t
is based upon the principle that pa
triotism begins at home, and that the
true patriot is he who is willing to
sacrifice something today in order
that he and his neighbors and their
children may have little better coun-
try tomorrow. 1t is time to join to-
gether and work for our San Juan
country.
Very truly yours,

fatherland. The poor woman on her
way to factory contributes her mite
to the collection boxes. The rich wo-
men open their parlors, bedrooms and
kitchens to the wounded officers and
soldiers. Not only do the women of

the women in America are everyday
suffering from the many ills that wo-
men are heir to.
The diseases which weaken and tor
ment women, may in almost all cases
be cured by the use of DR.. Pierce's
tavorite Prescription. 1t establishes
regularity, heals inflammation and
liberation, and cures womenly weak
ness.
Every woman who has reason to
believe that backache, headache, un-
natural pains, low spirits, sleepless
nights irregularities or a catarrhal
condition is caused by n arrangement
OF the womanly functions, owes it to
herself and dear ones to speedily over
come the trouble before a general
breakdown causes permanent prostra-
tion.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is temperance remedy that any all
ing woman can safely take because
it is prepared from roots and herbs
