Enough Democratic Experiments


The experience of this country un-
der the existing tariff bill, for which
the present administration is respon-
sible, has been such as TO show that
the policy of free trade and tariff for
revenue only is failure. 1t has been
indicated by the revoking of the
clause which provided for free sugar.
but the stand which the democrats
have taken regarding a tariff COM
mission, in spite of the fact that they
were the cause Of wiping out just
such commission instituted by the
preceding administration and by the
Recognition of the fact that there is
need Of giving protection to the dye
making industry in this country makes
it more certain.
But where there has been a dis
closure of a change Of heart in these
directions, it is still evident that there
has been no complete capitulation.
This is indicated by the five year
vision concerning the dye industry.
What is wanted is not half way
protection. That will not give the en-
couragement that is desired any more
than the uncertainty as to the length
Of the war, which serves while it lasts
as an excellent tariff wall, can be de
pended upon by those who would in
vest their capital in such business to
give them a start which cannot be
knocked over completely and effective
ly by the conditions cf the foreign la
Dor market.
The Kitchin bill shows a leaning to
protection, but It contains dangerous
provisions. Full and not uncertain
protection is what is wanted, and it
is what the welfare of the country de
serves It is no time for halfway
measures any more than 1t is time for
halfbaked legislation. American in
dustry should be given the chance to
which it is entitled and that cannot
be done by law which is in force
today but which, according to the pro-
visions, may be wiped out tomorrow.

cratic experiment.-Norwieh Bulletin.

While we are gaining triumphs Of

erary merit TO Carranza, who gave
his soldiers orders TO fire on our
troops, our flag is not the aegis for
our citizens that it once was.
In Chihuahua, where a few Ameri-
cans are still trying to guard their
property, Old Glory is no protection to
them. However, they are wearing
small British flags, for which the
Mexicans have a very wholesome re-
spect, and in that way escape insult,
injury, and loss Of life and property.
Inasmuch as our government ap-
pears to lack power and disposition to
protect our citizens, except by means
of the pen which is not mightier than
the sword, it is probably quite proper
that they should seek safety under the
awe-inspiring folds Of the Union Jack
No doubt, they think it better to live
miserably and ignobly, but peacefully

Plans for Stock Show

The premium list for the annual
National Western Stock Show at Den
yer has just been issued. The dates
are fixed for the week of January 20
27, 1917. and the classification offers
over S25 900 in premiums. 1t is one
Of the most attractive classifications
that have yet been issued and there is
every indication that the next Show
will be equal if not superior to all of
the big shows which have preceded.
The Dairy Show section will be made
a special feature at the coming show
and will be under the auspices of the
State Dairymen's association.
Now is the time for those stockmen
who have fine cattle to commence to
make their plans for the annual exhi-
bition. This is the one big western
event of each year and already there
is considerable interest all over the
west and many plans are being made
by the exhibitors as well as by the
Show association. Copies Of the
classification and premium list can be
had by addressing Western Stock

Governor Carlson Announces Candi-

II renominated by the Republican
party and reelected to the office Of
governor my official endeavor and that
Of my administration appointees will
be directed chiefly along the follow
ing lines:
To endeavor by strict impartiality,
by prompt and diligent effort, by
vigorous application of the principle
Of exact justice to save employer,
worker, and all our people, the waste,
hardships and suffering incident to
future lockouts and strikes.
To sustain the dry LAWN my opin-
ion the greatest social, economic and
moral step forward that Colorado has
ever taken; and to oppose the pass
age of the beer amendment or any
other unfriendly or reactionary legis-
lation; to seek after this year of
testing the dry law to make it even
more effective against the bootleg
ger by such amendment as the true
interests of the prohibitory cause
and experience dictate.
To maintain the Colorado utilities
commission so free from all outside
control that it may continue as an
Independent and efficient agency to
meet promptly, wisely and justly the
innumerable disputes and differences
between the utility corporations and
the several municipalities Of the state,
and thereby insure fair return and
stability of property value to the
utility investor and efficient service
adequate protection to the consuming
public.
To adjust and limit the total Of
state expenditure TO the minimum of
state income, making it certain to
nav opa hundred pppfs of gVpFN- dol
lar appropriated, and instead OF
swallowing up extraordinary income
by useless and wasteful over oppro-
priations, to conserve such surplus
for use by the succeeding administra-
ton for building construction or other
permanent purpose.
To maintain all state institutions
upon a sound financial basis; to es-
tablish the budget system; to procure
such close union and cooperation be
tween educational heads that over
tapping may be prevented, that the
educational problems of the state b
met as a unit, and that maximum cost
in all extension movements.
To so guard the 100000 acres of
school land in the state and the half
million acres of coal which is under
them that this hundred million dollar
heritage of the school children OF
Colorado may be preserved and kept
inviolate and never again be imperiled
by a scheming official however well
concealed may be his designs or pow
erful his sponsors.
To continue the policy begun in
the present administration whereby
the state assumes the whole burden
of the care of the insane so that not

a charge upon any county in Colorado.
To seek to decrease the burden Of
administrative expense upon the tax

expense of efficiency or through re
duction or restriction of service. To
the end that all consolidation and
abolishment Of boards and bureaus
may be constructive and productive OF

No Progressive Convention Likely

Mr.. Parker, tail Of the headless pro-
gressive ticket, shows scrpentine sa-
gacity, with or without dovelike
harmlessness, in calling off the Chi
cago convention set for August 5th
until after the conference Of leaders
to be held at Indianapolis on August
3. The last progressive convention
was accepted at face value. 1t was
treated by the press as though it
were composed Of delegates, elected
by great flocks Of voters. Delegates
TO the republican national convention
knew better, however, for each knew
the representation from his own state.
The convention was for practical pur-
poses a huge mass meeting. Should
a new progressive national convention
be called, it would be subjected to
scrutiny A list of the names and
addresses Of the delegates would be
published in every state, so that the
people in each state would be able TO
judge the convention as a whole from
the delegates from their state. Such
pitiless publicity would destroy the
impressiveness Of the convention. II
would show that the whole movement
is now a sham. The number Of the
irreconcilables, outside the hopelessly
democratic southern states, is prob
ably far less than that Of the fanati-
cal Taft men who voted for Wilson
in 1912 in states where they thought
that was the only way to defeat
Roosevelt.
The democrats continue to derive
comfort from figuring on the percen-
tage Of progressives that will sup
port Wilson. All Of them, except Mr.
Bryan, use the 1912 vote for figuring
purposes. Mr.. Bryan has political
sense and common honesty enough to
admit that most of the progressives
returned to the republican party be
held. The great bulk returned in 1914
except in three states. 1t is not
even good nonsense to argue that the
progresives who went back TO the
republican party prior to the Chicago
conventions were driven out Of It
again by the nomination Of Hughes.
when his nomination won over such q
multitude Of last bitches, including the
colonel himself. A new national con-
vcntion would be a revelation of the
emptiness Of democratic claims. II
the democratic leaders are wise they
will not permit such showing

to rub it in to the democratic leaders
for their present inconsistent attitude,
quoting from former speeches made
by these democrats, where they ex-
pressed views directly opposite those
they upheld during the recent debate.
1t was great sport for the republicans
and correspondingly humiliating to
the democrats.

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM is a
WHOPPER
Holds Enough Water to Cover State
of Delaw are Two Feet Deep

The great Elephant Butte Dam,
which is the principal engineering
feature of the Rio GraEde project of
the Reclamation Service, was complet-
ed on May 81, at o'clock in the af-
ternoon. 1t stands as one of the great
dams of the world 1t is exceeded in
height by the dam at Arrowrock which
is $50 feet high and the Shoshone dam
which is 32S feet high while the Ele-
phant Butte dam is 31S feet high. The
reservoir, however, formed by the Ell
ephaat Butte dam, is larger than the
reservoirs of either of the above nam
cd dams which arc higher. The great
reservoir contains enough water to
cover the state of Delaware two feet
deep. The Elephant Butte dam is
made Of concrete and contains 6lO,-
900 cubic yards. This, of course, does
not mean much to the ordinary lay
man, and it will be interesting to put
it in different figures. Suppose it
were placed upon an ordinary city
lot 25 by 125 feet. 1t would then
make block Of concrete 25 by l25

Mr.. Hughes Great Speech

In his speech Of acceptance Mr..
Hughes lays the basis for campaign
which will sweep the country. The
feebleness and vacillation Of the pres
ent administration in its foreign pol
icy are given first place, not neces-
sarily because the subject is of para
mount Importance, but because it is
the topic Of greatest current interest.
The indictment of the presidents Mex
lean policies is sweeping, but il is de-
served. Mr.. Hughes tears away the
gauzy veil Of rhetoric and reveals the
bare Mexican facts. The administra-
items course has not helped the
United States and it has added to
the woes Of stricken Mexico. 1t has
caused Mexicans to regard US with
mingled distrust and contempt. Mr.
Hughes is keen in his comment, but
the strongest part Of the indictment
is the chronological recital Of facts.
The condition Of anarchy in Mexico
and on the border has been prompted
by the fatuous course Of President
Wilson, and it will take years for the
United States to regain the prestige
essential TO the proper discharge Of
its duties toward Mexico and toward
American and other foreign resi-
dents.
Mr.. Hughes shows that the admin
istration's early Mexican dealings i'm
paired international respect for this
country. This took the impressive
ness out Of its stand on every viola
ton Of American rights by the Euro
pean belligerants. The world took
America no more seriously than the
Mexicans did. Mr.. Hughes has de-
scribed the essential weakness Of the
administration as the average man
has seen it. He has gone to no eN-
tremes Of theorizing or logic chop
ping. He has driven his point straight
home in every part Of the speech that
is elaborated. He promises amplifi-
cation Of several SUBJECTS he now
touches lightly But he shows that
the administration lacks common
sense, common efficiency and common
sincerity. And he shows it in lang
uage that is comprehensive to the
man on the street.
Not the least striking part Of the
speech is the treatment of temporary
prosperity, based on abnormal war
conditions. He shows just what was
happening under the operations of the
Underwood tariff until the great war
came to shut off the imports of man
ufactured articles and to afford an
unprecedented market for all our old
and many new industries. He also
points out the probable end Of our
fools paradise" and proves that it
would be utter folly to trust the dem
ocratic party to cope with such a
situation. Mr.. Hughes made a great
republican speech and a great Ameri-
can speech.-Globe-D
