SAN JUAN PEOPLE ARE
BEGINNING TO REALIZE

1t has been rather slow task in
getting many i'll this section TO rea-
iize that good roads are to be come
one of the most important of the
san Juan county assets. This does
not necessarily mean roads for autos,
but it means roads for transporta,
eion and communication. 1t means
railroads as well as wagon roads. A
country like this surrounded by noun,
Gains and aboundlng in the richest
gifts of nature must depend more OF
iess upon roads Tor transportation.
We are rapidly building our auto
roads and we at the same time need
to remember that we need to en-
courage the construction and main
yenance of the very best railroad ia,
cilities. We need broad gauge rail-
road connecting the San Juan with
all points east and north of US. This
country needs to give every encour
agement to the investment of capital
along these lines. The thing that we
should not do is to in any way knock
ON the investment of capital in this
country. Without such investment,
what would this country be worth to
us or any one else? Encourage indi-
viduals and corporations to come here
and invest their money. Let us be
broad minded that we may realize
that when we assist the other fellows
to do business that we are in meas
ure helping ourselves to do business

OH MY BACKi
The expression of Many kidne,
Sufferer in Durango.

A stubborn backache is cause to

ache there. My kidneys were out of

BAD PLACES IN BAYFIELD,
ROAD

VIM. Glassner, the automobile man
who operates between Durango and
Pagosa, reports two bad places in
the Bayfield, road. Opposite the Car
mack place on Dry Creek a bridge
was swept away by the hard rain and
it is necessary for the motorists to
drive thru the heavy sage brush over
some very rough ground. Five miles
this side of Bayfield, along the pipe
line the other bad place is found. lie
is certain if these are not repaired at
once some one is going to have SER
ious auto troubles and possibly a
wrecked machine. Yesterday after
noon Mr. Glassner made "a trip over
the Upper Florida and Upper Pine
river roas, as far as the Johnnie
Farrel place and found them in ex-
celient condition.

against unusual hazards from fast
riding, but the speed craze has de-
veloped form of mania that cannot
be controlled otherwise. Joyriders
not only risk their own lives but
those of their fellow travellers as
we'll.
The Denver-Colorado Springs high
way has become source of danger
in this way, as the county commits
sioners, Mr.. Irving Howbert and
others have pointed out, and no time
should be lost to restore the normal
traffic conditions. The risk is par
ticularly great at this time because
of the poor state of the road. But
a comparatively small portion of the
surface is sufficiently firm to hold
cars without danger of overturning
and yet scores of automobiles are
obliged to turn out for racers every
day. In many instances these tray-
alers are held up for hours awaiting
help to get back on the road.
State Legislation is needed to con-
crol the situation in the hest way,
but it would seem that some concert
ed move on the part of the commits,
sioners of the counties controlling
this highway could be made. Signes
showing speed regulations should be
posted at conspicuous points and the
punishment for violations should be
sufficiently severe to awaken even a
speed maniac Evening Telegraph.

Vacations and summer trips bring

THE DRIFT FROM WILSON

Speaking words OF sober wisdom
the New Yorl, Evening Post, Which
has been Wilson supporter, says;
"Wilson will be elected or defeated
according as the drift has, on the
whole, been towards him or away
from him, not among the Progress
sives Of 1912 or any other special
element, but among the people of the
United States as whole" In de
termining this there can be but one
opinion. In 1913 Mr.. Wilson had the
good wishes of all. Today he has
alienated many of his party friends
by one means or another and he has
driven from him such of the other
support which was then given to him
in the hope that his words would
fructify into deeds beneficient to the
country. The drift, on the whole, as

THE SAFETY OF THE ROAD

The first consideration of the road
should be safety. 1t may be fast OF
slow, on constructed on any of u
dozen different plans, but the para.
mount quality should be that it can
be travelled without endangering life
or limb. The finest of speedways,
therefore, would be poor roads for or
dinary travel, SO long as they con.
tinue to be used for racing, and an.
attempt to convert the usual thoro-
fares into tracks for joyrides would
be equally unwise.
1t ought not to be necessary to
legislate to secure safety. Personal
interests should be sufficient to guar
antee the protection of all travellers

The fact that Congressman "Nick"
Longworth of Ohio is to purchase silk
ties for all Democratic members of

the next congress, if the Republican
majority Of that body is not at least

Information coming to our league
within the last month foreshadows the
defeat of prohibition" said J. B.
HAYNES, who has done the publicity
work of the prosperity league. Scores
of newspaper publishers throughout
the state with whom we have done
business have reported from time to
time the change Of public sentiment
respecting the proposed amendment.
These reports have been voluntary.
In addition to them, our representa-
tives, whose business it was to ar
range for meetings for our speakers,
have for month brought in similar
reports, based upon conversations
with leading men in many cities and
towns of the state. From these and
other sources, our league has received
predictions of victory from men whose
Judgment is entitled to consideration.
THE leagues analysis Of the situa-
ton leads to the conclusion that the
advocates of high license and local op-
ton in the up state counties will come
to Douglas county with majority Of
not less than 10000, and it may ex-
coed $4,000. Add to this the conceded
majority in Douglas county, which
cannot be less than $4,000, and is
more likely to exceed 10000, and we
have a clear total majority against the
amendment of $4,000, at the lowest
possible estimate.
Our league has conducted the most
extensive newspaper campaign of edu-
cation ever done in this state, and the
defeat of the amendment will be large

OF the president, who spoke like one
who realized the defeat he is facing
and who found difficulty in maintain.
ing his nerve and composure under
the strain.
Betters Want Hughes.
Meantime, the betting odds continue
to show the faith OF the public gen
orally that Hughes is elected and
Wilson defeated. Despite the astound-
ing claims of the democratic managers
for a Wilson majority III the electoral
college, almost equal to that OF 1912
there was not a democrat to be found
in New York City who would back
those claims with his money. II you
ask democrat, especially one Of the
Wilson campaign managers, what the
result OF the election Is to be, he will
reply that Wilson is to carry every
thing in sight. But IL you ask him
to bet, he inevitably replies that it is
10 to ! shot on Hughes, and he
wants odds OF at least 10 to 6.
All Signs tor hughes.
That is the situation on the eve OF
the election. Every reliable and re-
sponsible indication throughout the
campaign has pointed to the over
whelming election OF Charles E.
Hughes to the presidency. There has
been absolutely nothing on the demo-
cratic side but noisy and unsupported
assertions, Whenever and wherever
there has been count the republicans
have shown in the majority. The
democrats are doing now in the nation
just what they did in September in
Maine, claiming everything in the
hope of affecting, thereby some wav.
ering votes. The verdict Of the voters
will be for the nation just what Il was
in Maine. Charles Evans Hughes will
