DODGING GREAT HONOR.

There are not lacking candidates
for the Republican nomination for
the presendency next year, nor even
men large enough for the job if they
land it. Borah, Burton, Cummins,
Mann and others have been mention
ed without making a noise like pro-
test. AT the same time it is inter-
esting to note that three great lead
ers of the party, perhaps the great
est, are flatly refusing to have
presidential honors thrust upon them.
These are ex-President Taft, Elihu
Root and Justice Charles E. Hughes,
Any of the three has capacity for the
exalted position, beyond question.
Taft is much more popular now than
when the Bull Moose contributed to
his defeat, but his judicial tempera-
ment prefers the quiet life of a Yale
professor to the turmoil of state af-
fairs, and enough is aplenty with him
and he refuses to take chances on
having the presidency thrust upon
him. So much of a strenuous nature
has confronted the nation since he
relinquished the helm that one
fancies he rather revels in his de-
feat. In times past, both Root and
Hughes have aspired to the highest
office in the gift of the people, but
Root says he is too old and Hughes
finds a life job on the supreme bench
10 his liking, and will not rel.nquish
it to listen to the lure of the presi-
dental bee. These are the excuses
offered, and they may be adequate
enough. Yet it is at least unusual
for excuses to come in punches this
way. The Republican party is not
a one-man party and the fact that
it gained in the last election, al
though not enough to win control of
congress, should be encouraging to
whoever secures the nomination next
year.

THE FEDERAL DEFICIT.

One of the first problems that will
confront congress when it meets in
December is a probable revenue de-
ficit of St00,000,000, which will
stand against the treasury at the
end of the present fiscal year. The
special war taxes will soon run out
and congress no doubt will renew
them with few additions. Revenue
from imports has fallen off to a
greater degree than was anticipated
when the war tax was made and there
is little likelihood that conditions will
be better for another year at least.
In addition to the loss of import
duties, sugar passes to the free list
early next year under the provisions
of heUnderwood- Simmons tariff act.
This will result in reduction of
revenue to the extent of $50,000,0O0.
And this makes us wonder what the
next move will be to try and make
the people believe the Democratic
administration is the best ever. But
we do not believe there are many
who cannot understand the true sit
uation. It's been experiment after
experiment for the past two years,
or since the New Jersey school mast
err was inaugurated. First It was the
tariff that was going to save the
country, then war tax was found
necessary in time of peace and in
face of this comes the one hundred
million deficit for the fiscal year
with double the deficit looming up
the coming year. Had it not been
for the war, this country would be
sure in the dumps. We do not be-
lieve that the deplorable conditions
of the treasury can be obscured
through the handling of the foreign
situation.
The temporary war tax will soon
expire and congress will be forced
to provide some means Of raising
money for the carrying on of govern
mental affairs.
The postmasters and federal Off
Gals must be cared for. But when
the people are called upon to pay
an additional tax, roar will be
emitted that even Woodrow will
hear.

JAPANESE TELL OF
EFFORTS TO ENTER IN S.

TOXIC, Aug, 14.-(By Mail. )-Six
Japanese sailors in court yesterday
told an exciting and sad story of
their futile efforts to smuggle them
selves into the United States. They
finished their story in jail, place
less disagreeable than several into
which their misfortunes had thrown
them in the course of the past year.
The six are the remnant of the
crew of the cookie boat Daiyei Maru,
60 tons, which left Japan in June,
1914. Ostensibly the craft was head
ed for the north Pacific fishing
grounds. She carried an abundant
stock of rice, soy and other Japanese
foods.
Right from her home port the
Daiyei's troubles began. Battered by
bad weather, she had to put back for
repairs before getting out of sight
of land. On the second attempt 20
days out the captain died. AZ days
out, while rough weather continued,
Unimak Island, in the Aleutian chain,
was reached. A submerged rock, as
the sailors endeavored to make a
landing, tore the Daiyei to pieces.
The sailors were thrown on the
shore and into the hands of a party
of Eskimos. The natives were kind
and made themselves hosts to the
refugees from that day, August 10,
until May 5. In the spring the
Eskimos started on their annual trip
to the mainland to get ammunition
and fishing gear A storm drove
them back and the son of the Jap
anese captain was drowned.
The first evidence of good luck
was seen in the arrival of d British
steamer, Mry 5, to trade for furs.
The Japanese asked for passage to
Seattle, apparently leading that off
Ger to believe that America was. their
home, and although they could not
promise to pay for their passage, he
gave it to them.
But on the way, one of the sail
ors let it slip that they were en-
deavoring to smuggle themselves into
the United States and we're not hon
est fishermen at all. The welcome
hands that awaited the sailors at Sc
attic were those of the immigration
authorities. After a few days N Jail
the Japanese consul found passage
for them on a returning vessel.

What wonderful opportunity for
graft is the expenditure of twenty
five million dollars daily to keep her
soldiers in the field. English tax
payers will have load to carry that
viii be worse than facing the Ger
man guns. But just why such a
vast sum of money should be need
ed is beyond the ken of honest peo-
pie. The soldier in the field who is
facing death, privation and all sorts
of hardships but is not the one re-
creiving his share of the money. It's
the middle men and purchasing Off
cersc who will come out of the war
with well lined pockets.

Neat Thing in County Fairs.

Aztec, San Juan county, New Mex
leo, is TO have a county fair Septem-
Der %, %, and "a that's different"
OF the three fairs held in San Juan
county this year, the Aztec fair is the
last and best and the only author
lied official county fair held in the
county. The other two fairs of the
county are appropriately designated
as educators for the Aztec fair.
The Aztec fair management knows
how and does things different" 1t
is to be all action, all novelty. The
23rd is Governors Day, the oath IS
Indian Day. The Indian Day program
alone will justify trip across the
continent to see. Two hundred In
dians in native costume, Indian band,
and Indian sports, games and ath-
letics. Baseball, foot and horse races,
Indian camp life, women and child
rem. In evening, address of welcome
to Indians, reply by chief in Navajo
language, translated by interpreter.
There will not be another fair like the
Aztec fair this year. Special round
trip rates on railroad from Alamosa
to Dolores, from Silverton to Farm
ington. If you've seen other fairs
you'll enjoy the Aztec fair more. If
you have not seen other fairs, you
positively cannot afford to miss the
great, unique, San Juan county fair
at Aztec, September %, %, "a. 1t
is going to be the real thing in coun-
ty fairs.

State Senator George E. West, an
appointee of Governor Carlson of
Colorado, to attend the convention of
conservationists of the ten western
states that will convene at ortland,
Oregon, next week, departed this
morning. Mr.. West is one of three
delegates from Colorado. The object
of the convention is conservation of
public lands and particularly the con-
tention Of water rights. The govern
ment contends, Mr.. West stated, that
it controls all streams. Mr.. West will
contend that the streams belong to
the state or really to the people. Mr..
Vests contention is, that the ten
western states involved, prefer that
the government shall not have the
right over the state or the people of
the state of section to decide the
adjudication of public streams, nor
the usage thereof.

Jim Brown Checked Out.

Pursuing its policy of refined abo-

changes, Jim Brown, the best known,
oldest in point of service and most
capable passenger ticket salesman, ex-
cepting General Agent McAtee, is to-
day being checked out as ticket agent

is to be succeeded here by Mr.. L. S.
Lively, who has been telegraph opera

thoughtful and considerate man ever
here on railroad telegraph service. 1t
is deserved promotion to him and
an added work, as he will cover both
positions, for time at least. We re-
greet to see Jim go. We will miss

of the road suffered themselves to
be bled for alleged advertising in

which is interesting but not startling
to the people of Colorado who are
acquainted with the character and
methods of the Post.
The only question now is whether
or not the officials who connived
at this graft will be obliger to
return the money; or whether Tam
and Bon will be called upon by the
federal law department to disgorge
these sums which they secured for
advertising in the news and editorial
columns"
Likewise as a matter of curiosity
the people of Colorado and the de-
cent newspapers would be interested
in knowing whether or not the Rock

paying the Post for advertising
of this sort and whether or not any
other railway is giving rebates" tc

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

The surprise of the Dumba incident
is than an American could be found
who would agree to carry the off
cial letters of the Austrian ambas-
sador to Vienna, knowing as he IN
doubtedly did that they were MIN
ical to the best interests of the United
States. Mr.. Archibald is trying to
excuse himself by saying that he
did not know the contents of the
papers. 1t SO happens that Archibald,
who by the way, is a soldier of for
tune and stelf-styled war cores
pondent, has spent a number of
years in Germany. He is a close per-
sonal friend of DR.. Dumba. He took
an active part in spreading the propa-
ganda in this country to stop the ex-
portation of arms and munitions.
Archibald made lecture tour of the
United States giving the German side
of the war.

We often Hear farmeres remark
that it is useless to compete for
prizes at the annual Colorado New
Mexico fair as they would certainly
come in for third, fourth or fifth
place. In this connection the Herald
Zeller of Iowa, whom we are informed
by the Des Moines Capital, ten years
ago took ten ears of corn to the
national corn show at Omaha hoping
to win first, second or third place.
When the award was made Mr.. Eel
Ter was given thirteenth place
twelve exhibitors surprising him.
Did Mr.. Zeller go homeb fold his
hands and say it was useless to make
further effort? No. AS he rode
home, somewhat downheartened at the
poor showing, he determined that he
would show the people that thirteen
was not hoodo ELnlfer He resolv-
ed to 20 about corn breeding as live
stock men go ab)ut animal breeding.
Result: This year Mr.. Zeller won
the grand champion sweep stakes for
the best corn exhibited at the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition, winning the
biggest corn honors that the world
has to offer. Take heart and bring
in your exhibits. If you persevere
you are going to win sooner or lat

force than elegance. But the aim
was poor and the good leg escaped
damage, but the game member came
in for the full force of the blow just
above the knee joint. 1t required
the attendance Of a physician and
several stitches, also the enforced
occupancy of the bed for week or
ten days. Mr.. Halter says, however,
