leaving the state, and vacating his
seat in the state senate, SO that the
senate of the twenty-first general
assembly will stand II Republicans
and II Democrats, a tie vote. In
case of tie the lieutenant governor
casts the deciding vote, so that in

ant governor will be an asset, and a
decidedly needed one, for Colorado

OF Judge Pulliam will be such that
he ought to be able to pull down

anything he wants. We wish him
luck, for we think a whole lot more

Compulsory arbitration is not ex-
actly the right term. Arbitration is
right, and way0 and means for quick
effective and equitable arbitration
should be provided and made easy to
obtain, and the natural thing to be
thought of. In fact is is entirely
possible to force any matter involv-
ing difference of opinion before an
arbitration board of some sort, but
when the decree of that board or tri-
bunal has been entered, the difficul-
ty will be found to lie in the enforce
ment of its mandates. Those man.
dates may with relative ease be en-
forced against propertied interests.
Fines may be assessed, and property
confiscated, but when the decision
goes the other way, enforcing It
against human rights instead of
property rights may sometime easily
bring industrial strife to the point
of civil warfare.
In the last analysis, the only hope
of proper solution of the industrial
problems of America, lies in the edu-
cation of the masses along the lines Of
industrial science and political econ
omy. The press can serve a noble
purpose in that educational program
if it will, and feature that should

YOUR KIDNEYS

Dnrango Residents Must Learn The
Importance OF Keeping Them Well.
Perfect health means that every or
gan of the body is performing its
functions properly.
Perfect health cannot be enjoyed
if the kidneys are weak and disor-
dered.
Thousands testify that Doan's Kid
ney pills have a reviving action on
weak kidneys.
What this remedy has done in so
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merit.
Read the following. It's testimony
gratefully given by a resident of this
locality:
William Reid, E. Colorado ave-, Tel
lrride, Colo, says: "The water l am
forced to drink is full of minerals
and has tendency to cause kidney
disorders and pains across my back.
By using Doan's Kidney pills oc-
casionally, find my kidneys are kept
toned up. This medicine quickly re-
lieves the pains in the back"

GERMAN FRONT, Dec. Every
hundred yards something is dead o
dying. Rumania is a country mad
with terror. Anarchic chaos is
preme. The inhabitants are in mis-
cry and terror. This is mostly due
the Rumanian government which or
dered the civilians to leave home as
the Teutons advanced swiftly.
To re-establish order, General Won
Tulff, ex-administrator of POLAND

He is en- route with two generals and

LONDON, Dec. Whether Lloyd
George succeeds in forming new
cabinet is the question of the hour.
Those familiar with his qualities have
no doubt of his ability to surmount
the obstacles. 1t is believed that he
will appeal to all parties to sink their
indifference in single purpose of wag
ing energetically successful conduct
Of the war. The chief difficulty he
faces is lining up sufficient support
in the house of commons for his min
istry.

charges that an immense German
propaganda, heavily financed, is al
ready operating in connection with
the pacifist movement in England,
against Lloyd George.

greater efficiency and more COM
