fruit of the trees in the months Of October and
November, long before the beans are ready to be
gathered. and often iocks Of these devastating
birds may be seen wherever a large tonqua- bean
tree is to be found. According to Eugene Andre

not so much on account Of what they consume
as OF what they waste. Wherever these birds
have eaten the ground is strewn with fruit only

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The presidents message, delivered
to the members of the Gath congress,
is not only a logical, but conserva-
tive document. dwelling largely upon
tie question Of national prepared
ness. The president points out, and
as all must know, that we are the
greatest republic the world has ever
known, comprising a hun: red mil
lions of population, with, thousands
of miles of unprotected sea coast and
small standing army. 1t is patent
to all that the very teachings of a
republic are peace and prosperity, but
this must not deter us from placing
the country in a proper shape to re-
sist foreign foe. From the forma-
tion of the nation we have exercised
q suZerainty over infant republics
that have been created on this west
ern hemisphere, guarding their well
fare as our own against seizure by a
foreign fee, until they have become
convinced of our abiding faith.
The war now raging in Europe de-
monstrates not only the terror, but
the power of war, and further, that
we should be prepared to resist a
foreign foe. When ships now build
ing are completed. our battleship
navy will rank among the first of
nations, but our coast defenses
should be strengthened and sub
marine fleet created as an additional
auxiliary. The standing army should
be increased to reasonable proper
tions, and the presidents suggestion
that a large number of our young
men devote a pcrtiCn of their time to
military training is timely and prop
er.
The presidents allusion to those
from foreign lands who seek this
haven of liberty for the betterment
Of their condition, and WHO have
sworn to renounce all foreign poten-
tates, and uphold the laws and flag
of the country of their adoption, so
far forgetting their allegiance as to
aid and abet their mother country,
to the detriment of the one chosen
should be severely dealt with and
congress should pass laws covering
this strange and unpatriotic move
ment.

WANTED-MEN


To the Editor of The Denver Post:
1t is my firm conviction, and that
of many others, tt at the coming po-
litical campaign is to be the most i'm
portant and far-reaching in its re-
suits Of any that we have ever ex-
perienced. And for this reason it
seems timely to suggest that the cit
liens of Colorado should begin now
to use their influence to the end that
the candidates for all state offices in
this campaign shall be men worthy
of the great opportunities now un-
folding.
The state has just passed thru
very troublous times, and is entering
now upon a new era in which real
constructive effcrt is to be put forth
to make mutually beneficial the re-
lations between capital and labor.
The new idea of industrial represen-
tation is to be tried out, and it will
depend upon the state officials
chosen at the next election whether
this great state of Colorado is to be
brought back to its rightful place
among the states of the union. Any
unjust siding with labor against cap
ital, or with capital against labor,
will defeat whatever chances of sue
cess there are for the plan inaugural
ed by Mr.. Rocket lie r-and, what is
more, will keep the state stirred up
and the old wounds open.
Prohibition Law Must Be Teeted.
TIE incoming regime will be re-
sponsible, too, for the testing out of
the prohibition law; it will be
squarely up to the men who are next
year elected to high positions in the
state government whether this law
is to be a farce. or is to be respected
and obeyed. In addition to these
my that must be practiced, and few
sane and needed laws to be passed.
Let all the people of this state.
whether members of one party or an
other, insist that the men nominated
for important offices be men of high
character, men who have not been
antagonistic either to capital or to
labor, men who have the broad Wis
ion and fearless courage to see that
all laws are enforced justly.
Immediate Present is Time to Decide.
The immediate present is the time
to decide what men are capable of
filling the positions of great trust in
this state government of ours. Too
often. and to our detrim ent, have we
waited until the leaders had chosen
their men and we were forced to
vote for weak candidates. Tie par
ty system has come to stay, but let
the party be the means of express
ing the will of the people rather than
merely the will of few leaders.
There are new problems ahead for
the state to solve, and there are
great plans to be worked out in many
lines of governmental activity. There
fore, let us have men big enough and
far-visioned enough to carry out the
grave duties which await execution.
The time is past when men can run
| for and obtain Office just because
they want that office, whether or
not tie people want them. The time
i has come when Colorado can pro-
gress in honor and commercial pros
perity only as justice, wise legisla-
ton, and respect for law obtain.
