WASHINGTON PESSIMISTIc.
Germany's Long Delay Interpreted as In
dicating Failure to Comply.

Washington, ID. c., May 3.--Two weeks
have passed since the United States dis
patched to Germany its note demanding
that an abandonment of present meth
ods of submarine warfare Immediately
be declared and effected, and the state
department is without any definite in
formation indicating that the demand
would be complied with. As the days
go by and no reply comes from Berlin,
and Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government, an
air of grave concern is beginning 20
manifest itself in administration circles.
Publicly officials continue to preserve an
air of optimism. Privately no attempt is
made to conceal contrary feeling and
this feeling is certain to become more
pronounced unless definite news is forth.
coming over night.
Ii is felt here that the very length of
time which has been consumed by the
German government in preparing a re.
ply in itself indicates that the commune
cation win not take the shape OF sim
pile response to the direct and clear cut
issue raised in the American note. 1t
is feared that the reply is likely 10 as
sumo an argumentative character, which
can scarcely be regarded as meeting the
requirements of the United States.
Persons in close touch with affairs at
the German embassy, however, continue
to express themselves as being positive |
that Germany will make concessions to
the United States which will prevent the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
They say the Berlin government had
been advised that the United States
meant just what it said in its note and I
was not prepared to enter into any ne
yotiations on the subject of submarine
warfare until present methods had been
Deen abandoned.

Two years ago John E Ramer was

This year he might almost be GER

of those who have had occasion TO do

people are all out to help Ramer. Go

force on anything from an auto tag
to information regarding the corpor-
ations of the state, they have come

he sized up Harry MulniXs capabil-
tiles better than they could be written
in serial story.
Harry Mulnix is reckoned veri-
table wizard at figures. He has lived
with them all his life-as state treas
urer in 1886, then as public account
ant, and for the last two years as
state auditor. He knows those figures
by their first names, and he can line
them up and make them perform, but
always correctly. In the state house
he is the fountain head of figuring
knowledge. In his head, waiting fo-
his tongue to call on them, are all the
statistics and figures of state-sal-
aries, appropriations, receipts of de-
partments. disbursements, cash on
hand, surplus-everything. And often
is he suddenly called upon to give out
information, doing so with accuracy
and without consulting books.
When he was born in Pennsylvania
that state probably didn't realize that
it was giving to Colorado one who
would know more about arithmetic
who invented those pleasing pastimes.
It was thirty-eight years ago that he
came here, engaging in the contract
ing business. only to have his ability
recognized with the position of state
treasurer in 1894. 1t is rather sin
guhr coincidence that after twenty
two years he should be the unanimous
choice Of the Republican assembly for
the same office he had filled so ably.
After his term as treasurer he took
up public accounting. This carried
him over the entire state and he has
a handshaking acquaintance with
thousands. He knows every phase Of
state government, his office force Is
a perfectly balanced, polite and eff
cient organization, and his own abso-
lutte reliability is embodied in the
word which often goes through the
state house: ASK Mulnix; he
knows"

. IF HARD TIMES RETURN

Should the courts hold the Adamson'
law to be constitutional, how will the
trainmen benefit if conditions become
as they were two years ago, just prior
to the outbreak of war in Europe? Do
the trainmen not recall that time when
traffic slackened, when trains were
taken off, and when trainmen were
laid off or were working part timer The
European war will end some time, and
if the party of free trade is still in
power, and its free trade law is still
in effect, there will be recurrence Of
the conditions of 1918 and 1914.

waste of accomplishment to supplant
it with an altogether different PLAN
In such printed words did the pres
ent Democratic superintendent OF
public instruction praise the work of
Mrs. Helen M. Wilson, who is again
the Republican nominee for an office
il which she served with distinction,
honor and credit in 1911 and 1912.
That praise, even though it may not
have been known that it would serve
in Mrs. Wilson's campaign, proves
how able a public servant she was,
how she safe-guarded the school, the
teacher and the pupil.
Mrs. Wilson's term as public in
struction superintendent was notable
for the economy Of office and travel
ing expense and the actual work ac-
complished. Those things alone Nigh
we'll constitute platform on which
she would be certain of election. She
made the rural school her especial
charge, doing much to raise the stan
dard. Her efforts were commended by
the leading educators of the state as
we'll as many educators Of national
fame. The course of study referred
to by her successor was the first real
step toward the Standardization Of
rural schools in the state Also while
In office, Mrs. Wilson issued an edu-
cational directory, the only one ever
issued in the state; she codified the
school laws, and prepared and issued
lessons in scientific temperance that
were used in all schools.
She Is the daughter and grand.
daughter of men who helped to make
and preserve the nation. Her father
and four uncles wore the Blue of the
Civil war, while one uncle wore the
Gray. She came to Colorado and went
to live in Durango during the pioneer
days Of that town. Later she removed
to Denver. She was charter member
of the first womans club in the state,
and has always been active in club
and civic life Just as her ancestors
were people Of literary tastes, SO she
has done much writing for papers
and magazines, although her chiefest
interest has always been in the
schools.
In 1913 the State Teachers College
conferred on her the degree of Master
of Pedagogy. In 1886 she was state
librarian Of Colorado. and after her
term as state superintendent she was

DIFFICULT JOB TO CHECK
FIRE BLIGHT

The only known means of checking
fire blight is to cut and burn all the
affected parts before the disease is
carried to the rest of the orchard by
bees and other insects, or has chance
to spread through the twigs themselves.
The pruning tools may carry the
germs if not carefully disinfected by
either dipping them into l to 1000
solution of corrosive sublimate, of wip-
ing them with rag or sponge which
has been dampened with such solution
carried in a small bottle for this pur-
pose.
Corrosive sublimate-also called BIZ
chloride of mercury-may be purchased
at any drug store in small bottles con-
tanning about 25 tablets apiece with
directions for dissolving and making
solutions of desired strength.

WHY HUGHES SHOULD
BE ELECTED

Former United States Senator Joseph
NJ. Dixon, manager of the Roosevelt
campaign in 1912, has written the fol-
lowing statement as to why Wilson
should not be elected president:
1t is futile for the Democrats to cx-
pect to attract any perceptible proper
ton of the progressive voters of four
years ago. Mr.. Hughes is progressive
enough for all of us. The man who
successfully conducted the probe of
the insurance scandal was among the
earliest of our genuine progressive
leaders.
Mr.. Hughes has never been aligned
with any element in the Republican
party that could be considered reac-
tionary. His entire course during his
public career has been along progress
sive lines and in the furtherance Of
doctrines that are purely progressive.
He earned the confidence of both par
ties during his administration as gov.
ernor Of New York. He made the
Albany climate an unhealthy one fol-
the political bosses; he changed the
old order Of things completely; he at.
tracted the combined antagonism of
the special interests and those who had
comes to think, through years Of In.
trenched security, that they were big
ger than, the law and the constitution.
Mr.. Hughes leadership in this earn.
paign is really the harvest Of the crop
sown BY the Proeressives during tho
past SIX years. His nomination Il n
triumph for the Progressive forces In
The Glenwood post., 1916-10-28

American politics. That Mr.. Hughes
recognizes this fact is shown in the
personnel of his campaign committee
and the men chosen to direct the battle
this fall.
Not even Mr.. Hughes enemies have
dared to question his political and per-
sonal integrity. His elevation to the
supreme bench met with the commend
alton of all good Americans regardless
of political affiliations. His nomination
for the presidency is fine illustration
of the spirit of our times, a spirit
which commends and rewards honesty,
fearlessness and efficiency in the public
service. Without seeking the nomina-
ton, without even permitting others to
seek it for him, he became the choice
of his party. By the sheer force of his
personality, his distinguished public
service and his Indifference to personal
ambition. he attracted all elements 10
his party. No machine, no combiua-
ton of influential leaders, no clique or
faction promoted his candidacy. 1t has
been said and with some measure OF
truth fNobody wanted Hughes except
the people"
The very heavy increase in popula-
tion during the past four years, the
new settlers coming as they have from
the Republican states lying to the east
of us, gives Montana this year voting
strength in exces sof 100000. In the
recent primaries, at which about one
half of the total vote was polled, the
Republican candidates received an av.
erage vote of about ten thousand 10
excess of the Democratic vote for the
same offices.
This year our women vote for the
first time and there is not the slightest
doubt that majority of them will
mark their ballot for the Republican
candidates. Mr.. Wilson's wavering st.
titude on the question of universal suf-
frage as contrasted with Mr.. Hughes
emphatic declaration that he favored =
constitutional amendment giving votes
to women, will have its influence upon
the women's vote. U
Our state organization in Montana is
in splendid working shape, the Pro.
gressives have a strong representation
on the ticket and both elements are
working we'll in harness for the success
of the unified party. We look for the
election of both of our congressional

WHY REPUBLICANS WANT A
CHANGE

When a little bandit nation
Can raid our shores at will,
And torture little children,
And manhood's lifeblood spill;
When our wives and blooming daughters
From the ravisher are not spared,
And the murderers give no quarters,
It's time that someone cared.
With a thousand murderers upon the
land,
And thousand beneath the wave,
Where is your boasted Gland of the
free,"
And where is the "home of the
brave7'
While every brutal crime we bear
Within barbarian's range,
There IS none in power who seem to care.
Republicans want change.

A just Judge can be more than a

man Is found who combines the judi
