Look out for Democratic Gas Bombs.

All this campaigning is but the presentation
OF the case in the great court OF public opinion
on which the popular jury is to hand down the
judgment of the ballot box. What the candidates
and their champions with voice and pen, are sup
posed to do is to put the voter in possession OF
the facts bearing upon the issues Of the day and
to bring them to look at these issues from all the
varying view points. If this work is well done,
if the campaign of education is carried on eff
GENTLY and effectively, the judgment of the ballot
box will register true verdict OF the popular
will Yet ballot box judgments are not always
intallible nor final, for it occasionally happens
that the verdict is secured by Misrepresentation,
by false issues, by imposition, by trickery. 1t is
only correct judgments founded on truth that
can be lasting.
In the present campaign, the republican can
didate, Charles Evans Hughes, and the advocates
Of republican policies, have been appealing to the
intelligence OF the openly and above board.
1t is nconceivable that Mr. Hughes could carry
on any other kind of campaign, because the
whole makeup Of his character is frankness and
straightforwardness and square dealing. On the
other side the democrats have been resorting to
all sorts OF catch-phrases, distortions and decep-
tons with plenitude OF eleventh-hour roorbacks
yet to be sprung. Against this deception and trick
cry the voter who is intelligent enough to think
for himself should be warned. II is regrettabe
that the democratic political managers seem to
place so low all estimate upon the people whom
they make specially of coddling that they ex-
pect them ito fall for" this stuff and thus to Sc
cure a ballot box judgment which these same
democrats despair Of getting by submitting their
case on its merits for fair decision.
So, look out for political gas bombs and tor.
pcdoes, exploded from masked democratic bat
teries, during the coming week.

say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man thou mayest meet
In lane highway, or open street.
That he, and we, and all men move
Under a canopy OF love
As broad as the blue sky above;
That doubt and trouble, fear and pain,
And anguish. all are sorrows vain;
That death itself shall not remain;
That weary deserts we may tread,
A dreary labyrinth may thread.
Through dark ways underground be led;
Yet, II we will our Guide obey,
The drearlest path, the darkest way,
Shall issue out in heavenly day.
And we, on divers shores now cast
Shall meet, our perilous voyage past,
All in our Fathers home at last.
And ere thou leave him, say thou this
Yet one word more--they only miss
The winning Of that final bliss
who will not count 1t true that love,
Blessing not cursing, rules above
And that in 1t we I've and move.
And one thing further make him know
That to believe these things are so,
This firm faith never to forego-
Despite OF all that seems at strife
with blessing, and with curses rife
That this is blessing, this is life.

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

America is known as the greatest
and most powerful republic on earth.
\ republic, unlike any other system
of government, derives its govern
ing powers from the consent of the
governed The chief executive, or
president is elected to preside over
and govern by the consent of the
majority vote OF those to be govern
ed.
A republic has three coordinate
branches, the executive, the legisla-
tive and tie judicial, each having
their several duties prescribed. To
the executive and his cabinet is dele
gated all diplomatic and foreign re-
the creation of the law subject to
the approval OF the executive, and
to the judicial is assigned the true
Interpretation of the law, each
branch to be separate and distinct
from the other.
Many of our U. S. senator's and
all congressman are elected by the
majority vote of the governed in
their respective d stricts, and are
elected to strengthen the arm of
the chief executive on all matters
pertaining to t e welfare of the re-
public and are public servants to the
people of their respective districts.
The great majori'y of those who
delegate this COVER ming power, stand
by the president at this critical
time when nearly every nation in
Europe is plunged into war and Ann
erican rights are being jeopardized.
A senator or congressman SO elect
ed should council the opinion of
those frcm when his power is de-
rived and obey tier wishes by his
vote, rather than that based upon
his individual opinion.
Many In congress are descended
from the different nations now at
war. but this should not be allowed
to act as bar, wien loyalty to
country is the paramount issue. A
divided congress heralds to the world
that we wish to dodge tie great
question of inteInat'ona law, and the
rights of neutrality and favor the
disregard of all international law.
that has so ruthlessly been tramp
led upon by mnay of the European
nations in the present conflict.
Let it be read into the pages of
Colorado's future history that her
u. S. Senators and congressmen n
obeyed the mandates of their con-
stituency and placed loyalty to corn-
try above personal opinion when
treir country stands upon the brink
of war
