The people will that they shall not
exist any longer.
Mr.. sorl goes further. There is
no war in America, but there are
enormous evils here. They exist for
the same reason that war exists in
Europe, for the reason that the will
of the people is ineffective to enforce
their removal. The stream of gov
eminent cannot rise higher than its
source.
Then Mr.. Ford takes the next step
the bravest and best of them all. He
went to Europe as self appointed
representative of Americas superior
civilization to show those benighted
people the error of their way. He
comes back sadder, wiser, humber
man. Il am to blame" he says,
because as a citizen / have not done
al that | might have done to remedy
the evils near men, in my own state
and nation, and city and precinct.
Laugh as you please at the thought
of the man who says he has not voted
six times in his life, and never ex-
cept by his wife's insistence, going
to Europe with Ben Lindsey to stop
that war, but honor the courage, the
honesty and the sound sense of the
man who has learned something from
that trip, and who dares to tell his
countrymen what he has learned

HENRY FoRD's PEACE WORK

To those who may be carried away
ny the cooked-up enthusiasm of the
Preparedness campaign now being
conducted thruout the country by the
munition interests and those patriot
ic societies that are misled by in
sidious influences to see great dan
ger threatening the United States.
It is well to consider an editorial
printed recently in the Corona (Cal-
ifornia) Courier. California, be it re-
membered, is ore of the favorite
stamping grounds of the war jingo,
where the peril of the Japanese is
ever and anon Haunted TO stir up
patriotism.
Says this sensible editor, in discus
sing the political issues of 1916, as
quoted in the Literary Digest
THE issue should not be that old
ghost of an issue, the tariff, but rath-
er return of truly business admin
stration, run on business principles,
with view of getting the greatest
returns for the money spent. All
this talk of greater army and navy
is pure buncome, and the administra-
ton should be big enough to see the
hidden graft. If only the people would
do little thinking for themselves
and not let the big dailies do it all!'
Henry Ford, who is vastly interest
ed in the so-called preparedness cam
paign said recently after reading
much about the matter in the news
papers: Il would like to know how
much of this patriotic fever the edi-
tors talk about comes from the hearts
of the American citizen and how much
from the pocketbook of the men who
expect to land the contracts for equip
ping the big military forces proposed.
In the first place l think the Ameri-
can knows the country to be in need
of no vast armed force for with that
comes the beginning of the end of
democracy, and in the second place
think he is too shrewd to permit any
such program to be stuffed down his
throat by men who are going to make
money out of it.

THE GREATNESS OF
HENRY FORD

The man that can see his own mis-
takes is entitled to i considerable
measure oil credit. A larger measure
Of appreciation is due 10 the one that
is willing TO acknowledge his error
Best of all is the man who can see
clearly the reason for his mistake
IN such way as to preclude the pos
sibility of its repetition.
Henry Ford, whose quixotic trip to
Europe with Ben Lindsey and others
OF the same sort has been the sub
ject of endless comment in recent
weeks, now see that that his trip was
mistake. More than that, he is
willing to admit it publicly. Best of
all he will not make the same mis-
take again.
We have better opinion of Henry
Ford than we ever had before.
The soldiers of Europe, says Mr..
Ford, are in the trenches because they
want to be there. They have the
kind Of government they want Tyr
amy, msgove-nment and war exist
because the people permit them to
exist, and they will continue until

From the very start President Will
son has tempted to make this a one
man country the same as Germany
but there are enough self-willed men
even in the Democratic party, to OBJ
ject to such program, True, the
president was able to jam damag-
ing tariff measure down the CON
gressional throats because II few OF
the Shafroth stripe placed party
above principle, but the Wilson con
tentions have proven such dismal
failures, that lawmakers are dubious
about his recommendations Why
shouldn't they be. What does Mr..
Wilson know about the practical side
of life. A schoolmaster all his life
he is theoretical and every old San
Juaner knows what theoretical min

Nick Torres, who plead guilty to
forgery charge and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for a term of
not less than IL months or more than
Is months, was found missing from
the county Jail this morning, when
breakfast was served. Some time
during the night he took his depart
ure without leaving a forwarding
address, having made his getaway
thru the same route that gave Raw
Stock his liberty few years ago
an opening in the floor of the county
superintendent's office. After the
escape of Stock, the commissioners
had a steel ceiling placed over the
cells to prevent recurrence of the
trouble. A door fastened with pad
lock furnished Torres his avenue to
liberty. With the leg of a chair he
sprung the lock, opened the door and
pushed his way to the office occu-
pied by Miss Salabar Opening the

Develop in Thompson's Park.

old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Sponsel. She was brought to Och

SENATOR THOMAS EXPOSED.

SENATOR THOMAS EXPOSED
We wish every Chieftain reader to
read over and over again the letter
of Senator Thomas in today's issue
The senator says he is opposed to
the presidents preparedness program
because there are so many grafters
who will get the major portion of the
money spent for this purpose, but he
will support the program SO as to
have party harmony.
That position should be given seri-
Gus consideration by every Colorado
voter.
If the senator knows there is 60
ing to be grating to such an ex-
tent, he should not support that pro-
gram. Certainly he ought not to give
his aid to any proposition of which
he has SO unfavorable an opinion
merely because it is an administra-
ton measure.
No other conclusion can be drawn
from this letter than this: that SEN
ator Thomas sets party expediency
foremost among his political motives
and will advisedly support a meas
ure which he believes to be wrong in
principle or defective in its details,
in order to maintain his party stand
ing and regularity.
A great many Colorado people al
ready held the opinion that Senator
Thomas is exactly that kind of
politician.-Pueblo Chieftain.

there is not the Slightest clue to his
whereabouts.
Two victims, in the persons of Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey Bennett, formerly
of this vicinity, lost their lives in a
slide in the silverton camp yesterday
afternoon when thousands of tons, Of
SNOW and ice came tearing down the
mountain side, carrying them to their
death in the gulch below. The ac-
cident occurred in the Stony Pass gulch
about nine miles northeast Of the town
of Silyerton, about p. M, when Ed.
Fiant, Bob. White and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennett We're on their way to the
Anti-Peridoc mine, which the form
er mas leased White and Bennett
were to be employed at the mine and
Mrs. Bennett was to have charge OF
the boarding house. The party left
Silverton in the morning, tarrying
at the Garry Owen tunnel long en-
ough to eat lunch. Knowing well the
danger that lurked over this por-
ton of the trail in winter, they
started to make their way over
Stony Pass with great care, Fiant
and White heading and breaking the
path. Just as the men were within
few feet Of safety the slide came
tearing down the mountain side, COW
ering the whole party. Fiant and
White were caught in about three feet
of snow just at the edge of the huge
mass and were able to roll to safety.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett were
swept to their death. Their com
panions rushed to the Garry Owen
tunnel and gave the alarm. A force
VI rescuers was organized and hasten
ed to the scene of the accident. After
a search they saw Benefits legs
sticking out Of the snow, but his body
vas in such position they did not
dare move it because of the dan

woman were unsuccessful. Reseuing
parties from silverton joined the Gar
