Protecting Americans

From the Springfield Mass Re.
publican Und)
AS an example of shameful"
and ''ignoble' avoidance of the
duty of a President of the Uni
ted States to protect American
citizens from murderous attacks
by foreigners, the following ex-
traordinary passage.in an official
message from the President to
the Governor of Arizona should
prove exceeding effective in the
hands of Mr.. Hughes while he is
on the stump:
The pressure for general intcrvcu-
tiou under such conditions Il might
not be practicable to resist. 1t i.
impossible to iOrc-cc or reckon the
consequences OF such II course and
We must H." the greatest scli-rc-
straiut to avoid it. Cannot, there
fore, order the troops at Douglas to
cross the border. but | must ask
you and the local authorities in
ease the same danger rcCurs, To di-
rect the people of Douglas to place
themselves where bullets cannot
reach them and thus avoid asualty.
The President of the United
States. in that message, was not
confronted with the question of
protecting the lives of Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico; the only
question was the protection of
the lives of American citizens
from Mexican bullets in the T.
nited States. Instead of remov-
ing the cause of the killing OF
our citizens in their own country,
the President directed that A
merican citizens residents in
Douglas, Ari2., should hide in
their cellars when Mexican bull
lets We're flying about, How
can Mr.. Hughes contemplate
such a performance except with
the deepest shame Yet that
was the performance, not OF
Woodrow Wilson. but of the las
Republican President, William
II. Taft, on April Is. 1911.

In Memorial

In loving memory of our dear
mother, Emily f. Bradley, who
passed away Sept. 6, 1915.
One precious to our hearts has
gone,
The voice in sound is stilled.
The place made vacant in our
home,
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in his wisdom called
The boon his love had given.
And tho on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in heaven.

lieutenant governor are those
that fall to him as president Of
the senate during the 90 days or
more the legislature is in session.
If the other duties are to be add
ed it is generally conceded that
greater care than usual should
be exercised by the voters in fill
ing the position.
The Democratic leaders, it is
declared, had this new law in
mind when they insisted that
former Senator Franklin +. Car
ringer, of jefferson county,
should accept the designation for
lieutenant governor. He has
been highly successful in the
conduct of his personal business
affairs during the 25 years he
has been established in Colorado,
it is pointed out, and is fully e.
quipped in every way to manage
the business affairs to the state

Henry Ford has announced
that he will put on four shifts a
a day in his factories, of six
hours each, and that each en-
ploye will be paid 81. 90 per hour.
At the present time the local a
gents cannot get cars as fast as
they can sell them. Mr.. Ford's
own wage allowance is said to be
500, 600 per day. And Mr..
Ford is for Wilson, naturally.

Looking at the eight-hour law
enacted by Congress last Satur-
day to avert a nation wide strike
one ut first blush is inclined to
rebel at the thought of 100, 600
employees influencing Congress
to the extent that it would pass
a law apparently to their sole adj
vantage. 1t will be remembered.
however. that this is not the first
time that Congress has acted on
behalf of the railway cmploye.
rs the time was that there was
no limit to the time a railroad
company might exact from an
cmploye, Congress stepped in
and made it imperative that the
cmpIoye must have eight hours
rest out OF twenty-four. Since
that time eight hour work DAY
laws have been passed 10y many
in fact nearly all the states in
the Union for all classes of skill
workmen. The government al.
so. has established an eight
hour day for its mechanics. and
strange to say. after the manu-.
facturers became accustomed to
the new order of things land Il.
gainst which they protested Wig.
orously) they made even rapid
advancement in the volume and
quality of goods manufactured
within the eight hours. It
was soon shown that the work.

of our schools has been under
the able direction of Mrs. Mary
G. C.. Bradford, candidate on the
Democratic ticket for reelection
as state superintendent of public
instruction. The departments
for the inspection of steambOilers
and oils, both revenue producers
| for the state, has been under
the direction of Democratic Of
| ficials, and Notwithstanding the
fact that their appropriations
were either vetoed or reduced to
minimum by the present gov
ernor, these departments have
been rendering efficient service
to the state. The public utilities
commission was created by a
Democratic legislature. The ma
jority of the state land board
are Democrats and control the
policy Of that board.
The protection of the water
rights of the citizens of this state
one of the most vital questions
in Colorado, has been under the
personal direction of Attorney
General Farrar, Democrat.
who has laid the foundation for
the defense of the states owner
ship of the streams within its
borders. This work, splen-
didly begun, should be continued
under supervision familiar with
it, and if elected, Mr.. Hubbard
says, Il shall continue the poll
cy of the present attorney gen
eral in respect to the protection
of these water rights. "
During the three and a half
years he has held his present
position as assistant attorney
and inheritance appraiser, he
has, with a minimum amount of
help, handled and disposed of
over ), 900 estates and collected
nearly a million and a half dol
lars of revenue, at cost of APP
proximately $37, 900, - a record
W hich invites attention. During
the eleven years previous ad-
ministration, there were handled
less than one-third the number
of estates, and but little more
than a million dollars collected.
at cost of approximately $50
600.
During the last nineteen
months Mr.. Hubbard has col
lected and turned over to the
present Republican administra-
ton, under an estimate of $500,

Hon. Franklin +. Carringer
seems to be gaining ground
steadily as candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. His opponent
Mr.. Pulliam seems to have been
given 50 much prominence in the
convention largely as a compli,
ment to Alva Adams and the
Pueblo crowd. 1t will be differ
ent when it comes to votes.
Judge Robt. G.. Strong of
Greeley is a candidate for state
supreme judge on the Demo
cratic ticket. He has practised
at the Colorado bar for u years
and in 1912 was elected District
Judge Of Weld, Larimer, Bould-
err and Jackson counties, the
strongly Republican eighth ju-
dicial district. Judge Strong is
a man Of analytical and highly
intellectual mind and personally
is a most likeable man. He is a
personal friend of Judge Harry
Class of our own district, and
Judge Class recommendation
which is unreservedIy friendly
and of the highest possible praise
should be worth something in
helping Jefferson county voters
in making up their mind for
whom they should vote.
Frank Owens, De m oc ratio
candidate before the primaries
for county commissioner of Dis
trlct No. z was in town Tuesday
calling on the voters in the in
terest Of his candidacy. Mr..
Ovens is making a clean cam
paign against his opponent Jo-
seph K. Cruise of Montana pre-
cinct and he believes that he can
lead his party to victory should
he be nominated. OF course he
is in a thickly populated district
and he stands well in Golden.
If Mr.. Truelsan secures the
nomination on the Republican
ticket, and his prospects seem
good, Mr.. Owens will meet him
on his own fighting ground, an
the encouragement he has re-
ceived from both Democrats and
Republicans makes him feel that
NJ has a good chance to defea;
Mr.. Truelsen. AS to Mr.. Owens
qualifications he has had eXpcr-
fence on contract work and upon
the roads as overseer which
stands as a monument to his a.
bility and integrity. The gener-
al feeling among Democrats both
here and in Golden is that they
have Two splendid men contest

Owens and Mr.. Cruise and which
ever one wins will receive the
full support of the party.
