The meeting Of the Assessors and
County Commissioners in their an
nual convention last week, stimulated
the already great interest in the local
political situation. 1t is significant
that there is a spirit Of confidence and
optimism prevailing among republi-
cans that is sadly lacking among the
democratic statesmen.
The disgraceful failure of the ad-
ministration to protect American lives
in Mexico, and the break between the
Wilson and Bryan forces over the
question Of preparedness, seem to
have taken all the heart out Of our
democratic friends. That all of those
opposed to democratic inefIiciency and
extravaganza will be united in both
the state and national contest ap-
pears more and more certain.
1t is rather significant that neither
the State Central Committee of the
progressive party, nor the Executive
Committee have been called together
since the last election. 1t is rumorcd
that the reason for this is that were
they to meet there would be a scrap
more bitter than any that party has
yet witnessed. At least two of the
candidates for congress in 1914, on
that ticket claim they were double
crossed by the organization and they
intend to get even at the firs
tunity. Again, while the action of
their National Commit
cago meeting last month is warmly
approved by the great majority Of the
rank and file, it is rumOred that one
or two of the leaders are very violent
ly opposed to the program there out
lined. This matter would have to be
fought out should the committee be
called together.
The Lamar register., 1916-01-26

range the plans for the Lamar meet
ing. The committees appointed by the
business men at their meeting will
appoint committees who will meet
with Mr.. McCann on his arrival and
complete arrangements for a great
meeting. Some of the events that are
practically assured are two days of
institute work by H. w. Campbell, the
dry farming expert, an address by
the president of the United States
National Bank of Denver on Rural
Credits, County Teachers Association
with special reference to the needs of
the rural schools, address by Cover
nor Carlson, every day programs by
the Colorado Agricultural College
team of institute experts, and home
economics department for the women.
There will be no charge to any of the
programs except an enrolment fee
of % cents in the Household Econom-
les department The enrolment in
this department will be limited to 100
women, the high school equipment will
be used, and the lecturers and dem
onstrators will be Miss Bess Chappell
of the Lamar high school and Miss
Mary Oberlin of the State Agricultur-
al College. Enrollments in this de-
partment may be phoned to Miss
Chappell. ANY woman interested in
this work may enroll and as it will
be necessary to limit the enrolment
to 100 it would be well TO enroll early.
High School Conference at La Junta
Between $50 and 200 boys attended
the Conference for Older Boys of the
Arkansas Valley, held at La Junta
last week under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association Of
Colorado. Boys were in attendance
from all parts of the valley, but La
mar sent the largest delegation. In
tense interest was shown in the meet
ings, and as a whole, every fellow
went back to his high school with
something worth while for those who
were so unfortunate as not TO have
attended the conference. A detailed
account of the meetings will be given
Wednesday evening at the Boys Club
at the high school. The following
boys were in attendance at La Junta:
Ernest Allen, Byron Stahl, Frank Ray,
Robert Ford, Earl Ford, Emil Am
mann, Donald Church, Merrill In
man, Geo. McClave, Donald Mclean,
Fred Myers, Wilbur Kerr, Otto Lub-
bers, Richard Merrill, Ralph Traxler,
Ethan Beavers, Hoyt Roberts, Mr..
Hemphill, head Of the commercial de-
partment, chaperoned the crowd.
There is some prospect that the Con
ference will be held in Lamar next
year.

Short Course

Considerable interest is being shown
in the Farmers short course of three
weeks which begins Monday, February
7. This will be a treat to any am
bilious farmer boy and a number of
farmers have signified their intention
of attending along with the boys. All
are welcome, and there will be no
charge for tuition or text books.
Messrs. Brown and Gilbert have plan
ned a fine course along special prac-
tical lines, and Miss Chappell is out
lining a cooking class for boys which
promises to have a good enrolment.
A knowledge of cooking often comes
in handy to a mere man, especially on
the farm.

One Way to Prepare

The more the people study one
proposal made in ex-President Roose-
velt's recent speech on preparedness,
the more it will be appreciated. That
is his endorsement Of the plan Of max
ing military training necessary part
of the high school course, making 1t
compulsory on all high school boys
to take certain number Of months
military training along with their
education. There are so many bene-
fits TO be gained by this method that
only the strong prejudice which has
existed among some classes Of citl-
zens against even the name military
mas prevented the movement being
started before. There is nothing that
can be done for the young men ply
sically that will have anything near
the same value TO them in future
years. The military exercises and
training are not only conducive to the
highest state of health at the time,
but they teach all, who are sensible,
valuable lessons in that line for their
future guidance. The restraint taught
and the discipline are equally as val
liable in a mental and moral sense;
while patriotism is a necessary con-
sequence which follows. 1t would
have the effect in future years Of
building up greater respect for gov
ernment, stronger patriotism and
healthier body Of men. And if ever
the time should come when the people
would find it necessary to volunteer
as soldiers TO save the government,
there would rise up an army that
could be made effective in a third of
the time required to produce soldiers
out Of the present day citizens.

The Young Mems Business Associa-
ton is extending an invitation to one
of the leading bankers of the Rocky
Mountain region to deliver an address
and to conduct a conference Thursday,
February "a, on the subject of Rural
Credits" This is one of the most
important questions to be discussed at
the meeting. The young men are to
be congratulated on their public spir-
it in proposing to bring to Lamar one
of the men who hold a commanding
influence in the matter of farm loans.

A Mississippi member Of congress
is telling good story on himself. For
some weeks past he has been rcceiv-
ing letters by almost every mail from
one Of his constituents asking him to
send him some of the free seed sent
out each year by the congressman and
making an especial -ppeal for peas.
Finally, the demand for peas became
so large from this constituent, that the
member of congress wrote the appli-
cant in these terms: 81 am sending
you half dozen mora packages Of
peas, as you requested. S>y what arc
you trying to do down there, plant
the whole state to peas?" A few days
later he got this reply: mo, l am
not planting them. They make bully
soup. Send along some more"

CoLoRADo's LARGE RETURNS
Forty Five Million Dollars Added to
States Wealth by Beet Sugar
Industry

The financial returns from the 1916
campaign of the beet sugar industry
in Colorado, the leading sugar pro-
ducing state OF the country, have add
ed S45,OOO,OOO to the wealth of the
state. This sum is approximately
equal to the total metal output Of
TINS state for the past year.
The value Of CoIorado's sugar pro-
ductlon Of 242,l7O short tons this
season at the present market price
amounts to S25,OOO,OOO. Nearly q1l,-
900 900 was paid to the farmers of the
state for their beet crop Of l,9l3,36O
tons grown on l5s,lS acres, and over
80, 100000 went TO the farm laborers
Tor their services. The fourteen fac
tories operating paid S2,5OO,O00 for
factory labor, and S2,4OO,OOO for fac
tory supplies.
The value of the sugar beet crop
represents 20 per cent of the total
value Of all the agricultural crops of
Colorado in 1915, exceeds by $4,000
900 the value of the gold output of
the state, and is larger by $l,OOO,OOO
than the combined value of all the
other Colorado metals mined during
the year.

Increase Explained

We have seen many reasons given
for the fact that the stock show at
tendance was the greatest ever, but
most of them have avoided the real
point. The fact was that hundreds Of
men who have always gone alone to
the stock show heretofore, took Friend
Wife along this year. A sudden burst
of generosity seems to have struck
all of them together.

The recent discovery Of letter from
Woodrow Wilson to A. NJ. Palmer,
written when the democrats of the
house were discussing the "one-term
plank" of the Baltimore platform has
aroused a great deal of interest.
This letter was written in February,
1913, a month before Mr.. Wilson be-
came president, but he showed even
at that early date that he had no pur-
pose to be bound by the Baltimore
platform in this respect.
Mr.. Palmer and his fellow demo-
Gratis of the house were seriously con-
sidering the matter Of submitting a
constitutional amendment to the
states embodying the "one-term" prin-
ciple for the presidency as it had been
promulgated in the Baltimore plat
form a year before. At that time, be-
fore Mr.. Wilson had become president
and before there were any such things
as war in Europe or diplomatic
crises which are now before us as
reasons for his reelection, Woodrow
Wilson was very evidently making the
way clear for his reelection if pos
sible. In his letter at that time he op-
posed a single term of six years, but
favored amending the constitution SO
that a president would not be eligible
for more than two terms. He wrote :
"A fixed constitutional limitation to
single term of office is highly ar
bitrary and unsatisfactory from every
point of view. l believe that we should
fatally embarrass ourselves if we
made the constitutional changes pro-
posed"
This letter from the man who was
not then in office but who proposed to
succeed himself if possible is all the
more interesting in the face Of the
democratic platform at Baltimore,
which, after declaring for one term for
the presidency, said:
"Our platform is one Of principles
which we believe essential to our ma
tional welfare. Our pledges are made
to be kept when in office as well as
relied upon during the campaign"
One of the pledges of the democracy
upon which Woodrow Wilson went in
to office was the one-term pledge. The
democracy says;
"Our pledges are made to be kept
when in office as well as to be relied
upon during a campaign"
The man first to violate this pledge
and to pervert fellow democrats is
Woodrow Wilson, the same person
who so recently declared, There are
some simple things in the world; one
of the simplest is principle. When l
have made a promise as a man try
to keep it."-Colorado Springs Tele-
graph.
