years ago in regard to trusts was
broken. It seems to me also that
there is a lingering consciousness in
the minds Of the Democrats that they
have broken this promise In this
years platform they say absolutely
nothing about the issues that they
made so much of in 1914.
We should not criticize the for
eign policy Of the previous admins
tration, but this year and right be-
fore the last election the Democrats
criticized the Republican dollar dip
lomacy and several other things, so
why not criticize their foreign pol
icy?
president Wilson sent military
forces to Vera Cruz, and some Is or
20 American soldiers and Mexicans
were killed. Wasn't that invasion
WASH that war? The Constitution
says that the declaration of war Is a
law, therefore it is reasonable to as
sumo that war could not be under
taken by the president without the
consent of congress-. President Will
son thought so, of course, and sent
before the house resolution auth
or1z1ng him to use military forces in
Mexico. Before congress acted forces
were sent. do not believe we were
justified in declaring war on Huerta.
The Democrats now disclaim any
intention Of making war on Mexico.
When they sent troops down into
Mexico they afterwards apologized
for it, saying that the American SOL
d1ers were aggressive. Nevertheless,
the resolution was argued back and
forth in congress for some time. Four
days before it passed, Wilson had Am
erican soldiers in Mexico, thus the
president declared foreign war with
out the consent of congress and then
the Democrats say, He kept us out of
war; He couldn't begin war, law
fully, without the consent of con-
gress. The question of peace or war
should be left in the hands of those
who represent the people,

HIDE THEIR REAL FAvoRlTES
Claim Made That Few Literary Men
Tell the Truth When Asked a
Leading Question.

Now and again men Of letters and
other persons more or less in the pub
lie eye are requested to put them
selves to the question and to write
out list of their favorite characters
In fiction. Sometimes they are hidden
to stand and deliver She names Of
stalwart heroes, and sometimes they
are desired to lisp lovingly a list of
loves herOines.
And as these men of letters and 9TH
er persons more or less in the public
eye are human, after all, and therefore
hypocrites, they are likely to go on the
stand with no intention of telling the
whole truth, says Scribner's Magazine.
Their secret delight may be in the
mysterious vengeances of Nick Of the
Woods; yet this is what they would
never dare confess, so they get out a
search warrant and they take up a
collection of their thoughts in order
to produce as their first choice Achil-
les or Ulysses, Gargantua or Marius
the Epicurean.
They are equally lacking in frank
ness where they volunteer to name a
bevy Of heroines, They may make a
bluff Of Indifference to beauty by put
ting in Jane Eyre; but no one of them
would be bold enough to acknowledge
his sneaking fondness for Becky Sharp,
that most fascinating villainess.
Thackeray tried to make us dislike
Mrs. Rawdon' Crawley, thereby incur
ing the reproach of Taine-to the eff
| feet that her creator did not love
Becky as Balzac loved Nine, MaFReffe>
Yet, try as hard as he could, Thack=
cray failed to arouse in the average
sensual man, any detestation for the
impersonator of CIytemnestra at the
Gaunt House theatricals. In fact if
the average sensual man had his
choice, he would rather take in to din
ner Becky than. the blameless Amelia,
beloved by the lOng-suffering Major
pobbin.

MR.. LETHERBURY'S CANDIDACY

THE many friends in this community
l of Mr.. Walter S. Letherbury regret
that because of his views upon the
temperance question, they were com
PEELED to refuse him their votes.
Mr.. Letherbury, because Of his uni
formly kind and obliging character and
his devotion and loyalty to his own
town, has many friends not only of his
own household of faith politically, but
among all parties, and the very fine
record he made in the last Legislature
made him in every other way than in
the temperance legislation highly de-
sirable candidate for the present Legis-
lature, and it is speaking nothing in dis
praise of our own able and successful
candidate to say that Mr.. Letherbury.
in the Senate, helped by the experience
gained in his unusually successful career
two years ago in the lower house,
would in the Senate also have proved q
wise and active servant of the people
of this district in promoting their in
terests as well as those of the state
generally.
The Transcript has heard very warn
praises spoken of the ability disclosed
in Mr.. Letherbury's careerin the last
Legislature, and also concurs in. the
opinion it heard expressed the Othel
day that "Mr. Eetherbury was the only

imes'' and the high prices far4hers got
or their ckops; Mr.. Wilson's eowardly
'peace- -at-any- price" appeals to an
euaasculated American manhood and
womanhood, :'too proud to fight for
their cOuntry's insulted flag or their
slain countrymen-an appeal which
found expression in the shameful yawp,
''He kept US out of war;" Mr.. Wilson's
deinagogic overtures to labor and his
infamous browbeating of weak Demo-
cratic Congress into passing The Adam
son Bill which will be declared uncon-
stitutional as soon as one of the seven
attacks upon it can be heard by the Su-
preme Court-these are the minor
causes of Mr.. Hughes defeat, despite
the fact that he, especially later in the
campaign, was energetic, fOrceful and
wise. That he would have made mag
nificent president no one doubts.
But the one great cause of this amaz-
ing change of a $500, 600 majority
against Wilson into almost 100000
majority for him, was the profound dis
trust which millions of Progressives
felt for the old Reactionary Rosses
managing Mr.. Hughes campaign : not a
distrust of him himself, but of Taft,
PenroSe, SmOot and the rest of the dis
credited standpat Reaetjonarles who re-
fused, both at the Chicago Convention
last June, and thruout this campaign
until near its close, to recognize the
Progressives
But all these causes tho narrowing
Hughes victory to the slender margin
of two votes, would still have failed to
defeat him quite, had he not made the
great and fatal bluader of sA4bbing the
California Progressives and their idol,
Cow Hiram johnson, thereby alternating
them from his cause.
The blunders he made there under the
stupid Bourbon guidance of his reac-
tionary managers, seem too great for
belief! The veriest tyro in politics,
much less a seasoned campaigner like
himself, should not have made them. 1t
is another Illustration of the insoIent
madness that for years has marked the
reactionary "rule or RUM tactics.
| Look at the list. l. In his California
speeches he failed to mention Gov.
Johnson's candidacy for the U. S. Sen
ate. 2. He, or his foolish managers,
refused in the public meetings held
there. ell recognition of>Gov. johnson
or of the ProgressiVes. 8. He affronted
a strong Progressive public sentiment
in California by allowing himself to be
the guest at banquet given by the ex.
leaders of the defeated Southern Pacific
railroad ring hated cordially by every
good citizen Of chat state. 4. He was
for hours in the same hotel In San Fran
cisco with Gov johnson and never me-
him either because of his own bad judg
ment or because of the contrivings ot
his biundering managers!
Had Mr.. Hughes kept away from Cal
ifornia he would have gotten its elec
| toral votes which would have made hin
president by just two votes-268. Thu
in the very last analysis it is true to sa.
, that his own act did what all othe
! causes put together fail to accomplish
, defeated him
. The like does not appear in all tn
, history of American politics; it wa
even a greater mistake than Webster
q 7th of March speech which totall
ruined his presidential aspirations.

From the junction Of the Muddy and
Anthracite, where the North Fork Of
the Gunnison really begins, it Is some
six miles to Somerset, and ten miles
further to Bowie and Paonia, but the
road 30 Marble direct does not 60 by
