 The spacious rooms of the Buch- anan home were aglow with the chosen motif of red which was car ried out by autumn hulls and the soft illumination from crimson candles.

More than sixty guests joyfully participated in the enthusiastic games of progressive rock that followed. High scores that won the first prize were made by Mrs. Joe R. Hamilton and MT. Henry Moore. The consola- tion prizes were presented to Mrs. Nat Martin and Mir. Joe R. Hamilton. The honor guest received a box of beautiful embroidered handkerchiefs.

Sample of Democratic Economics

Senator MARITIME DemD Of New
Jersey presented a most remarkable
document to the Senate the other day.
Ii was resolution adopted by the
National Democratic Club of New
York City favoring the government
ship purchase oill, and this wac one
Of the reasons given: Owing to
American standards of wages, safety
at sea and humane conditions of labor
for American seamen, private enter
prise cannot be relied upon to pro-
vide the ships, because experience has
demonstrated that private capital
cannot successfully compete against
the handicap of lower standards main
tanned by other maritime nations"
As an idea in economics that is a
gem. Suppose it were followed out
in our manufacturing industries.
American laboring men receive higher
wages, and they operate under more
humane conditions than those prevail
ing abroad Is the National Demo
cratic Club of New York in favor Of
having the government operate our
factories on that account Is gov
ernment ownership to be the fate Of
any industry which accords fair treat
ment to labor? Why is this club for
government ownership and against a
protective tariff, for instance "The
old-fashioned subsidy system has fail
ed, and it is not only discredited but
undemocratic," reads the resolution.
When was it tried in this country? It
seems to be doing effective work in
foreign countries, nearly every one Of

News Letter

Denver, Colo, May 8, 1916.
The State Public Utilities Commits
sion today suspended increases in
commodity rates of the various ex-
press companies within the state un-
til August 80, 1916.
The tariffs were filed by the Adams
Express Company, American Express
Company and Wells Fargo & Com
pany Express, to become effective
June /, 1916. Immediately upon re-
ccipt Of the tariffs the Commissions
rate department made tentative
check Of the increases and reductions
resulting from the filing Of the new
schedules. and it was found that there
were between 1900 and 1000 in
creases, and perhaps 200 reductions.
The commodities chiefly affected are
known as second class" although
many increases arc shown on laundry
and fruit and vegetables. 1t is i'm
possible to accurately show the ad-
vances or reductions on account Of
the elimination Of certain items from
the old schedules, and also on account
Of changing minimum weights, etc.
The principal increases in rates on
fruit are from the increases in the
minimum weights.
The commission will hold a hearing
a a date to be later designated, at
which time the express companies will
be required to justify the advances
shown in the schedules.

dant private capital is ready for in
vestment under present conditions.
The secretary of the treasury, just
returned from South America, la
ments the lack of shipping facilities
between the United States and Latin
America ports. This means that there
is more money in the European trade.
If the government is to supply the
Latin-American demand, it will have
to operate its ships at rates that do
not appeal to private owners. This is
a thinly disguised government sub
sidy of particular trade route, and
every democrat should regard it with
horror If the government leases the
vessels the lessees will insist on the
most profitable route or they will
force down the price Of the charter so
as to make the treasury pay their
profits. Charterers are not in bust
ness on the advice Of their physicians.
The latest compromise is reported to
be so fearfully and wonderfully fash
ioned that it will appeal to all schools
Of thought. 1t is to catch believers
in government ownership and
at the same time mollify
opponents Of such an expert
ment in paternalism. This is to be
accomplished by putting a time limit
on government operation. But it may
ALLEVIATE sensible members Of Congress
who can see little wisdom in making
large investment in an experiment
that must end five years after the
end Of the war. The net result would
be a treasury raid for the benefit Of
a few favored pets, with eventual
profit to a few individuals. OF all the
crazy projects of she administration,
its jitncy merchant marine scheme is
the most fanatic.-Globe-Dc

The city election at Denver this
week resulted in the overwhelming
election Of former Mayor Speer. His
majority is so large that his election
cannot be charged up to any one
cause, but certainly the Denver Posts
violent opposition added as much as
any one cause to his big vote. What
ever may be a mans personal opinion
of Mr. Spcers character otherwise, he
cannot but admire the fact that he is
one of the few Denver citizens who is
not afraid Of that dirty sheet and its
Matchmaking owners. He defied their
mud batteries and the vote shows that
the best way to win in Denver is to
make the Post tight you. Mr.. Speer
promises an absolutely non-partisan
administration, and this feature of his
return to public life will be watched
with most interest by the public gen
orally, as it is fixed idea of most
people that there amt no such ami
mai. AT any event the citizens Of
Denver when asked now will be able
to tell you who is mayor, something
u large portion of them have not
been able to do for the past four
years.

New Compromise" Ship Bill

That jolly old tar from Gallatin
Mo, Representative Joshua w. Alex
ander, has introduced new edition
of his ship purchase bill. This bill
has already gone through more edi-
tions than the best seller in a decade
Criticism Of it has been attended with
considerable difficulty. since it has
been necessary to specify the various
stages of its fitful existence. 1t is a
bill with all kinds Of purposes. At
first it was an emergency measure.
But the emergency is gone. 1t was TO
stimulate shipbuilding, but exertcd an
exactly opposite effect until IS
chance Of passage became remote
Shipbuilding needs no stimulation
now. On April l there were 1856
ships, with a gross tonnage of ,O67,-
$50, building or ordered in American
yards, as compared with 76 ships Of
3lOOs9 tons on July /, 1915. Album

Dickering With a Figurehead

The last doubt of the impotency Of
Don Venustiano Carranza to bring
order in Mexico should be dispelled
by the latest raid at the border. And
yet, President Wilson continues TO
dicker with this figurehead Of Mexi-
can authority as if good could come
from it, Apparently, the wish is
father to the thought in the mind Of
the American executive and so the
negotiations go on. Outrage is added
to outrage and crime to crime. Truly
the light shines upon the darkness
at the White house but the darkness
comprehendeth it not.
Official hopes Of bringing order out
Of chaos in this troubled republic
through the help Of the present head
Of the Constitutionalists are futile.
More might be expected from the
ghost Of Diaz. The capture Of Villa.
orstwhile northern leader, would be a
minor incident only in the restoration
Of peace. Caranza must go as well,
and with him the motley aggregation
Of office holders, who have bled the
government and bandits, who have liv-
ed off the savings Of the p ople.
Reliable information from the in
terror shows that the present Mexican
executive lacks any considerable sup
port, while the most influential resi-
dents OF the republic arc plotting
openly against him. The fricndliness
Of the army is more apparent than
real. Its commander is unable to act
without its sanction, and fear Of as
3assination leads him to move about to
avoid coming in contact with any con-
siderable body Of his men. Yet, this
is the executive on whom Washing. n
has pinned its faith.
Such childish trust has not been
seen for many day. 1t is impossible
to comprehend the workings Of
trained mind that looks to a figure
head to save a situation like that in
Mexico. Carranza has no more chance
Of establishing a stable government
than the hunted Villa, or the blood
thirsty Zapata, or any Of the other
outlaws who have devastated the
country He is one Of the leaders
among the number, and his following
is among the largest, and that is the
most that can be said for him.
1t is time that dilly-dallying should
cease. American representatives at
the border conference should be in
structed to present their demands and
to insist on compliance. 1t may be
well enough to exchange social calls,
to blow the fanfare or fire a salute
in honor Of this leader, but there
should be no mistake as to who's who.

Indiana republicans should offer
their thanks to Senator Tom Taggart,

election to the seat which he now

eft the republicans, for Taggart,
