mn. WElsER HAS MADE
THE BEST DISTRICT
ATTORNEY Ne EVER Hl0

William Weiser. Democratic candi.
date for District Attorney. has been
your district attorney for the past four
years During his term Of Office he has
prosecuted diligently all criminal cases
brought to his attention, and has been
especially diligent in prosecuting eattie
thieves. The beneficent results brought
about by these prosecutions are well
known to the citizens of this county.
He is bright, diligcnt, cultured. fair in
his prosecutions. and . gentleman in
every sense of the word.
Don't you think that a man WHO has
served you as well as Mr.. Weiser. is
entitled to another term of office? II
you do, and we have no doubt that you
do, it is your duty to vote for him.
Mr. Weiser's opponent. Mr.. Stivers
Of Montrose, is taking very unfair
stand and Billy Weiser is going to take
him to cleaning proper next Tuesday.

IS WvEH THEA ~
CRIME OR Al ASSET
TO R. 0. BtRRETT

Robert o. Barrett has surprised his
best friends, by the strong run which
he is making for county clerk. As q
young business man he has always been
very popular in Gunnison. yet few su-
spected the wide acquaintance he al
ready had throughout the county, or
the manner in which the likeable quail
ties and the sterling business judgment
which he possesses, would help in maxi
ing new friends during the campaign.
Some of our republican friends have
raised the cry that he is too young. :"
Shame upon such a campaign. Bar
rett's youth coupled with his ability is
something to be proud of. Barrett,
young or old. has greater ability and
more shrewdness than some of the older
bewhiskered bucks who NEEDLE in poll
tics. We need more young men who
take m interest in public affairs. Are
the old fossils not willing that a young
man Of push and energy should have q
chance?
Here's predicting that those who fig
ure Roy Lotdell . republican winner
win be treated to the surprise Of their
lives.

Beginning October Slst, says Station
Agent Hogan. the station at Doyleville
is named Waunita by the d. & K. G..
railroad. That is certainly q funny
happening and we wonder IL Doyleville
people were consulted about the change,
or what right the Rio Grande has to
name such places any way. 1t may be
that the Doylevillians petitioned the
Rio Grande for the change. but it would
seem that the name would be confusing,
for Waunita 10 ten miles aw ay and is a
community by ITSELF And this tells
nothing of the distinctive fame gained
by place like Doyleville after forty
years.

that the minds of the voters are made
up to put George Miller in the Office of

He lives at the county seat, where bis

As business man he has been q sue

Bait for the Bull Moose.

In view Of the proclaimed purpose of the
democratic political yardmasters to spare no
effort to round up and corral all the stray bull
moose who can be brought into the Wilson fold,
the prepared statement given out by Brother
Charley" Bryan, on his return from the St. Louis
convention to assume his duties as mayor of Lin
coin. is especially interesting. He says:
THE democratic national platform and cam
ddates offer the only logical resting place for
the progressive republicans who were betrayed
at Chicago by the man they looked to as their
Moses, the late bull moose leader, Theodore
Roosevelt"
This, doubtless, reflects the real attitude Of
the democrats, but is it the kind Of bait on which
the bull moose will bite3 Will branding Colonel
Roosevelt as traitor" make his former follow
ers enthusiastically embrace Woodrow Wilson
and consort with the democratic donkey? Judg-
ing from the manifestations, the sudden love OF
the democrats for the bull moosers is so intense
that it is painful.

wilson, Undivided Responsibility.

In another column Of this page The Bee gives
space to most interesting review Of the Mexican
situation written for the Louisville Courier
Journal by Colonel Henry Watterson in his
Enthusiastically forceful language. Not that we
want to be understood as approving or con-
curing in his Interpretation Of the succession Of
events in Mexico or the conclusions he draws
from them, but his survey takes broad sweep
that is certainly invigorating. One assertion, in
particular, however, calls for contradiction being
repetition Of the groundless charge that Wilson
inherited" his Mexican troubles from Taft when
the truth is that the revolution that deposed
Madero took place on February Is and the Ma
dero assassination on February g. 1918 but ten
days before President Wilson assumed his Office
and President Taft was particular to hold every
thing growing out Of this situation in allegiance
in order not to forestal or complicate any policy
which President Wilson might purpose to adopt,
What Wilson inherited from Taft, therefore, was
perfectly free hand in Mexico and by no per-
version Of the facts can blame for Wilson's
blunders be unloaded upon his republican prede-
cessor Whatever anyone else might or might
not have done under the same circumstances,
President Wilson must take the full responsibility
for his conduct, or rather misconduct, of our
Mexican affair

Effect Of the War on Congress.

One result OF the present war scare is shown
in its effect on congress, where preparations for
national defense have been speeded up very ma
terially by reason OF the likelihood of conflict.
The Hay army BILL that was hailed by deserving
democrats" as perfect in all its details, is now
being amended to embody provisions insisted
upon by the republicans when it was going
through. Principal Of the amendments to the law
will be provision to "federaze" the National
Guard which means that the "forty-eight little
armies" are to be made into one great army for
the nations uses, and that the deadenng pressure
OF states rights will be removed from the service.
The navy bill, fortunately not enacted into law,
is being changed in the senate to embody the
recommendations of the general board, and thus
to give the country program for building that
promises adequacy instead Of temporzing with a
serious situation. The probability now is strong
that circumstances will compel the democrats to
redeem finally ,their violated promises to provide
for the reasonable defense Of the nation.

Live stock Grower, Are Awake.

Resolutions adopted by the Nebraska Live
Stock Growers association at its Alliance gather
ing, indicate that the members Of that organiza-
ton are keeny alive and progressively active in
furthering the best interests Of their industry.
The subjects treated of in the resolutions pertain
exclusively to the live stock industry and only
touch the public indirectly, but they serve as an
illustration Of the change that has come over the
business Of cattle raising and the producing Of
meat animals within few years. The cowboy
followed the buffalo into limbo, and the home
steader made checkerboard OF the range with
his barbed wire, but the cattle baron" met the
situation and readjusted his methods to the end
that his business, while not so extensive as to
landscape or book count" is far more stable
because il is on more substantial basis. Con-
ditions that threatened have been turned to serv-
ice snd intelligent direction has given to the live
stock industry such standing .as it never could

braska's interests in the business is far greater
than is generally understood, On the first Of
January last, the value of the cattle in the state,
exclusive Of mich cows was more than $85.000,-

Double Track. and Double pepot..

The travelling men are now agitating ques-
ton that is bound to become vexatious for the
railroads before it is settled unless the transpor-
tation companies beat the public to it and give the
relief sought because it has been suggested. 1t
is matter Of safety first, and has to do with
depots at stations where double track lines are
used. The travelling men would like to have mat
tiers so arranged that passengers will not be COM
PEELED to cross tracks to get on trains. Several
methods by which this may be accomplished have
been suggested and one Of them will doubtless
be forced upon the railroads in time The prob
lem applies to all the stations where trains are
stopped on more than one track, and has in it
elements that appeal for support. The railroad
companies have given much attention to the pre-
vention Of accidents in other ways, and it is not
unreasonable to expect that they will safeguard
life around their passenger stations as far as 10
humanity possible.
