A GREAT INVENTION.

The greatly increased demand for
American foodstuffs in Europe has
necessitated the building of immense
cold storage plants in New York and
Jther eastern shipping points. 1t is
said that in New York City there
are thirty million dozen eggs, TWEEN
" million pounds of butter, five mil
non pounds OF poultry, sixteen mil
lion pounds Of fresh meat and other
provisions in like quantities await
.ng shipment.
Few people appreciate what it would
mean if there vas no such thing as
told storage. Perishable foodstnffs
could not be shipped across the ocean
n large quantities. There would be
no packing industry in this country
fhe little island of England woulo
consume in month nearly all the
fresh foodstuffs on hand.
A little investigation reveals the
astonishing information that the man
who invented the cold storage plant
died of starvation. Many people do
not know that it was invented at all /;
they think it just happened. Yet there
are those who declare the discovery
of modest little Frenehman, named
Charles Heller, is of far greater
economic Importance than Bells tele-
phone, Edisons electric light or Mar
coni's wireless telegraphy.
Teller perfected his cold storage
system for the preservation Of vege-
tables, meats and fruits 40 years ago
A sailing ship was equipped with his
appliance. and carried cargo of meat
from Buenos Ayres to France. 1t took
one hundred days to make the trip, but
The cargo arrived in as good condi-
tion as when it started
Like many men of genus Teller
had no business ability. His inven-
tion was stolen from -iim and in bill
terness he wasted the rest of his lift
trying to invent something that would
eclipse his first success.
The French government recognized
Teller eventually and decorated him

people that American lives and prop
erty should be safeguarded in the
southern republic. 1t is well known
fact that the citizens OF the United
States who went into Mexico went
frequently by invitation to aid in the
upbuilding and development of that
country. They were engaged in per-
fectly lawful and laudable enterprise,
quite as much so as that of an auto
mobile manufacturer who goes across
the river into Canada to establish
plant. They were glad to see them
come in, and the United States is
doing nothing less than its duty when
it demands that they be protected
after spending their money in creating
a business.
And yet, Senator Thomas of Colo
rado and the administration at Wash
ington take the view that these men,
having gone into neighboring coun-
try for a lawful purpose, are in effect
engaged in criminal operations and
that they are not entitled to any re-
spect or support or protection from
their home government. In substance
they are told, "You went in at your
own risk; now get out if you can.
II you are murdered, we may protest,
but probably YOU are responsible for
your own death for having the tenn
Gritty to put you rnoney into bust
ness enterprise in another country"
The people are becoming very tired
of the impotence or Indifference of the
Mexican administrations, and they
are demanding that the Carranza gov
ernment, recognized and indorsed by
the United States, be compelled to
give protection to the citizens of
other nations, or that it resign that
task to someone who is equal to its
plishmen.-Colorado Springs

AUTOMOBILE FATALTIEs.

Is the deadliness of the automobile
increasing?
This question seems to be answered
in very conclusive manner in gov
ernment mortality statistics for the
year 1914, which indicate that during
the five years from 1909 TO 1914 the
number of automobiles increased in
the United States more than twice as
rapidly as the number of fatalities
caused by them.
People who have noted the in
creasing number of automobile acct
dents with alarm have failed to take
into consideration the rapid increase
in the number of machines used
AT the close of 1909 the number
Of machines in use in the United
States was approximately 100000, by
the close Of 1913 it had risen to l.
100000 and year later, at the end
pf 1914, il was 1,750,000.
Thus a five year Increase of TIA per
cent in number of machines has beer
accompanied by an increase Of but 31E
per cent in fatalities. The figures ap-
pear to furnish ample justification for
the conclusion that the automobile to-
day is being driven with more care
md more regard for public safety thar

of them he is unable TO keep. Like
all Mexicans, he is unreliable.

But is life SO dear and peace So
sweet as to be purchased" at the

If this government is to intervene.
the time is at hand. 1t had better
be done before the wars In Europe
come to an end. Intervention should
be by the consent of the South Ameri
can republics, if such consent can be
obtained, but should be done and done
bravely and honestly, with or with
out their consent.
The country does not feel like in
tervening partly on account of lack of
confidence in President Wilson's ad
ministration. The country prefers to
wait until after the presidential cleo
ton. But this would mean long,
long wait.
1t would take six months to get
ready to invade Mexico. Therefore.
preparations should begin in the

SENATOR THOMAS AND MEXICO.

The violent antipathy of Hon. c. S.
Thomas, junior senator from Colorado
toward business enterprises in gener-
al and large business in particular is
well illustrated by his comment upon
the murder OF | or 20 Americans by
Mexican bandits.
Instead of promptly asserting that
the United States should undertake
to protect its citizens wherever they
may be while engaged ia lawful puI-
suits, either of business on pleasure,
Senator Thomas condones the Mexi-
can outrage just committed by de-
clarlng in most Indifferent and cold
blooded manner that these revolutions
in Mexico have been fostered by the
Standard Oil company and the Pear
son Oil company of England.
There is probably not an iota of
truth in the assertions made by Sen
ator Thomas, for everybody knows
that 1t is to the best interest of busi-
ness enterprises in this country, in
Mexico and elsewhere, that condition
of good order and tranquility be OBJ
served. Hence. it would be to the
advantage of the oil companies. as
well as others. to see that the govern
ment in power remain undisturbed.
In fact. it is well known .ilat what
the mining, smelling and oil interests
in Mexico want is peace, in order
that they may continue their business
undisturbed. Hence, il is not at all
likely that they have been spending
their money in promoting revolutions
and disturbances in various parts of
that country.
1t is humiliating spectacle that
any member of the administration
party in Washington, and particularly
a senator from our own state of Colo
RADIO, whose citizens have such large
interests in Mexico. should reply in
this cold-blooded fashion to the just |
demands for reparation for this brutal
murder and to the insistence Of our
