Russians Regain Ground Lost.

notwithstanding to news from the
Russian scenes Of war operations, the
armies Of the Gar are regaining
ground which they lost along the Styr
river last week. Czartorysk, a little
village unknown before the war, and
which became famous for the bitter
fighting that has occurred around 1t, is
again in the possession of the Rus
SLAMS, who evidently let the Germans
enter simply to shell them out the
next day.
The German attack, which met with
initial success, was doomed to final
failure, as the country around 1t is a
great marsh.

required to prevent Greece from being

The entente allies will not tolerate

Won't Stay Dead

The crown prince Of Germany is
alive again. He has had another res
direction, this one being the fifth
in number since the first reports of
his death appeared. The heir appar-
ent to the Hohenzollern crown is a
hard man to kill, or, at least, hard
man to keep killed. Killing him by
newspaper report is easy enough, but
far less easy by an artillery report or
the report of a rifle. None of these
reports, it is true, have been well
authenticated. That part of the world
which likes best to read of things the
most melodramatic and sensational,
cannot be satisfied with the assurance
that every day sees the slaughter Of
Jacques and Hans, Tommy and Ivan
in countless thousands. 1t wants the
thrill of hearing that one Of the great
has fallen. And as the crown prince
of Germany, more than any other
soldier of the blood royal, has been
showing himself not only at the front,
but at the front of the front, he has
become a target of the purveyors Of
news who give the people what they
want. Besides, if royalty. which has
the privilege of staying at the rear
of the front, recklessly exposes itself,
let it take the consequences.
Some discrimination must be shown
even in such news purveying. Such
story told of the king Of England
would not be believed, nor Of the czar,
nor of the kaiser himself. The German
princeling having once been seen in
the line of fire cannot get out of it.
He may go down, but as fast as he
comes up again the correspondents
will give him a fresh volley. II casting
his horoscope, we should begin by say
ing that he is man not born to be
killed by paper wads. As for bullets,
we should have to consult the stars
again, and perhaps again.-Globe-
Democrat.

The Presidents Address

President Wilson's address TO con-
gress today is devoted in large part
TO the problem Of preparedness. He
declares that conquest and dominion
are not in our reckoning or agree
able to our principles. But just be-
cause we demand unmolested develop
ment and the undisturbed government
of our own lives upon our own prin-
ciples Of right and liberty, we resent,
from whatever quarter it may come,
the aggression we ourselves will not
practice. We insist upon security in
prosecuting our self-chosen lines Of
national development. We will
not maintain a standing army except
for uses which are as necessary in
times of peace as in times Of war
But we do believe in body Of free
citizens ready and sufficient to take
care of themselves and Of the gov

A Two-Party Country

Truer words were never uttered
than those by prominent progressive
now leaving his party. that "This is Il
two-party country" The history Of
national and state politics emphasizes
this truth
A party to succeed at the polls
must be united. In 1896, when the
Wings had four candidates for presi-
dent, they were defeated by the dem
ocrats;; but in 1910. when the Wings
were united, they turned the tables
on the democrats.
For many years following 1910 the
liberal, free soil, American, independ-
ent, temperance and other similar
small parties were unsuccessful.
The Greenbacks in 1876, many Of
whom were originally republicans,
made the vote so close between the
republicans and democrats as to call
for a decision by an electoral com
mission.
As rule, since 1876, a third party
nomination has not affected a presi
dental vote seriously until the cleo
tion Of 1912, when the progressives
split the republican vote. Since then.
however, the progressives have given
up fighting for state offices in most
commonwealths.
The two-party contest is the most
sensible, for It suits the voters. Citi-
zens do not care to indulge in too
many political theories or expert
ments. Their thoughts usually con
centrate on one leading party or the
other and independent parties or
movements meet with small support.

The "Fly-By- Nights"

The "Fly-by-Nights" is the sub
ject Of very interesting and inspir-
ing editorial published by the Port
land, Oregon, Journal, prominent
democratic organ in the Pacific north
west. This expression is used to de-
scribe a class of salesman who ap-
pear at local hotel and take orders
for shoes or other commodities, and
leave in few days for other COM
munities. The complaint of the
Journal is that these statesmen pay no
taxes, buy no groceries, use no hard
ware, patronize no doctors or drug
gists, and employ no labor. The
Journal says: "The home dealer is a
part of Portland. He helps maintain
Portland; he helps provide jobs for
Portland workers he helps support
Portland workers, he helps support
Portland schools; he helps pay Port
land firemen and Portland police; he
spends his earnings in Portland and
among Portlanders and by his help

From which is it apparent that the
net balance reported in the Daily
Treasury statement of November "a
is purely illusory, and the Treasury
is $1,O0O,OOO in hook, so far as live
assets are concerned.
The Japanese Finance Department.
which for nearly year has been en-
gagged in conducting Investigations
with view to a revision Of the Gus
toms tariff, has made its report to
the Japanese Diet which will take up
the question at its coming session.
1t is planned to increase the duties
on manufactured articles and abolish
the duties on certain raw materials.
Evidently the Japanese have been
studying the disastrous effect of the
Wilson Underwood tariff law, which
taxes raw materials and places nom
protective duties on manufactured
products. The tariff policy which they
are about to adopt is identical with
that ehampioned by the republican
party and which will be restored to
the United States in 1917.
In 1910 Woodrow Wilson, then
Governor-elect Of New Jersey, insist
ed that James E. MARITIME must be
made Senator. In 1915. the same
Woodrow Wilson insists that Mar
tine must not be reelected. At the
earlier period MARITIME was elected, in
the opinion of some, BECAUSE Of Will
sons insistence. Now he will be de-
feated-not because of Wilson's op-
position, however, but because New
Jersey is going to elect a republican
senator next year.

fulness to the community he deserves
the patronage of the people of the
community"
The marvellous feature Of this edi-
torial by the Journal is its entire
disregard of the application of its
utterances to the problem of foreign
importations. The "fly-by-night" at
least pays a hotel bill, and advertises
in the local papers. At the same time
that the Journal is making a plea for
the purchase of articles from Port
land dealers, it is advocating a tar
iff policy which encourages American
people to buy from European and
Asiatic producers.
The European manufacturer pays
very slight taxes under democratic
policy, he does not help build up
American enterprise, and all his in
terests are adverse rather than fay-
orable to ours. Every dollar we pay
him he uses to develop his industries
so that he can take more dollars away
from us.
In its local affairs the Journal rec
ognizes the fact that the home dealer
Is your neighbor, your townsmen,
your co-worker and he ought to have
your patronage" but in national pol
icies, the theory Of the Journal and
all other democratic papers seems ~
be that the producer of Europe and
Asia is your neighbor, your CO.
worker who ought to have your pat
ronage."
1t is to be hoped that those readers
Of the Journal who accept its policy
regarding the patronage Of "ny-by-
nights" in Portland will extend their
patriotism and loyalty to home inter
ests by advocating a national policy
which encourages or compels the
American people TO patronize the pro-
ducers Of their own country.
Representative N. E. Matthews Of
Ohio, represents one of those numer-
Gus congressional districts in which
the sugar beet industry has made con-
siderable progress. When the demo
cratic tariff law was passed, many
of the farmers discontinued the rails
ing of sugar beets and some of the
factories closed down. The beginning
Of the European war revived the in
dustry, AS an indication Of the i'm
portance Of this industry to any com
munity, Mr.. Matthews gives fgur,s
showing that one small factory at
Paulding, Ohio, paid out S3O2,250 for
a portion Of the crop Of beets har-
vested in October Of this year. Had
the democrats accomplished what they
expected to with regard TO domestic
production Of sugar, this and other
factories Of a similar nature probably
would not have been in operation at
all this year

A POSSIBLE COMPROMISE
According to Reliable Rumor the
Colorado X ansas Water Suit Is
About to Be Compromised

A compromise of the gigantic Kan
sas-Colorado water suit is about to be
completed. 1t will put an end forever
to the much mooted question of water
priorities in the Arkansas valley and
will place the bitches of both Colo
RADIO and Kansas upon a stable basis,
which was impossible during the life
OF the controversy, says the Pueblo
Star-Journal.
By the terms Of the pending COM
promise the five big ditch companies
OF Kansas which are behind the suit
will waive their claims to priority,
and for doing SO they will receive. it
is understood, approximately half the
amount that would have been requir-
ed to buy their rights had the big
suit been decided against Colorado.
The uncertainty Of the end,
enormous amounts that already have
been spent in gathering data and sta
tistics and evidence, and the thous-
ands that would have been required
by both sides to push the claims to n
conclusion and the subsequent ap-
peals of the losing side are factors
which brought about the willingness
OF both sides to end the struggle.
The exact terms of the deal still are
secret and the entire proceedings were
to have been completed before the
public was informed Of its successful
termination.
The final contracts, the main points
Of which have been approved by both
sides, now are in the hands Of the
Kansas ditch companies. The signing
is believed to merely be a matter of
getting their arrangements together
and carrying out a legal form.
Years have been required in gather
ing evidence for the case, which prob
nbly now never will come to trial.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
been spent by the two states in col
lecting testimony and data to be used
in proving their respective claims.
1t was the main contention Of the
Kansas ditch companies that they had
priority water rights in the Arkansas
river over Colorado bitches, and that
the Colorado companies were appro-
priating the water without authority
Of the law.
II was the claim Of Colorado in the
controversy that the use of the water
in the Arkansas valley Of Colorado did
not effect in any manner the flow at
Garden City and other points in Kan
sas. as it was claimed that practically
all Of the water originating in Colo
RADIO sank into the sands of western
Kansas before it came to their bitches
and that to prohibit Colorado from
using it would have been to waste
the water and make barren the hund-
reds Of thousands Of acres which de-
rive water from that source.
Large appropriations had been
made by the states of Colorado and
Kansas, attorneys and engineers had
been engaged by the score and every
effort was being made to present con-
elusive claims to the courts by both
sides.
The termination Of the suit will
be an enormous asset to the irrigated
lands Of the Arkansas valley, as it
will end forever the feeling of uncer-
tainty regarding the water supply.

Holiday Vacation

The schools will close for the holi-
day vacation on Wednesday evening,
December %, and will resume work
on Monday, January 3. The usual
Christmas vacation is somewhat
shortened this year because of the
necessity Of making up the three days
used by the teachers in attending the
Colorado Teachers Association.
Semester Ends January 2l, 1916
The first school semester will close
January q, and the second semester
will begin January "a. At that date
new classes will begin in all depart
ments Of the school and it will be a
good time for new students to start.
This applies especially to beginners in
the primary grades and to students
entering high school. The mid-year
high school enrolment this year prom
ises to break all records.
Physicians viii Examine Pupils
The annual physical examination Of
pupils which is required by law, will
be made by the local physicians after
the first of the year. This examina-
ton applies especially to defects of
hearing, sight, breathing, etc. that
would interfere with the normal de-
velopment of the pupil and that would
retard him in his school work.
Night School Flourshing
The night school employs three in
structors, Messrs. Hemphill and Ham
on and Miss Madge Creaghe. New
enrollments are being made right
along, especially in the Spanish and
Commercial departments. The teach
ers' review class begins this week the
study Of school law in preparation for
the December teachers examination.
The night school meets on Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
