BURSTING A BUBBLE.

The Democrats who sought a crit.
icism from DR.. Charles w. Eliot OF
Mr.. Hughes acceptance of the presi.
Dental nomination got one, but not
the kind they Wanted. Dr. Eliot was
heartless. Instead of helping the Dem
ocrats keep the supreme court bubble
in the air he pricked it with a pin
when in his letter he said of Mr..
Hughes action:
Most Americans will think that
having tried the life of a governor and
the life Of a justice of the supreme
court, he had a right to give effect TO
his preference for political service"

Mesa County to
Claim Sheep Tax

Because the sheriff's office failed
to act as requested by the county
treasurer in serving distraint war
rant on r. E. Baker who kept a herd
of 1900 sheep in the county a month
or more, Mesa county will probably
have to sue to secure the $66 taxes
which County Treasurer Canon claims
is due the county. Baker, who was
here for over thirty days, heard that
the sheriff had been ordered to col
lect the taxes on the warrant, and
drove his sheep over the line into
Delta county, so it is alleged.
1t is said that sheep men can choose
which county they pay their taxes in
and Baker claims that he has paid
taxes in Oregon on these $4,000 sheep,
but anyway Mesa county claims $66
taxes which the sheriff's office failed
to get. There has been no terrific
rush of business in the sheriff's office,
according to general appearances, and

War Cloud Again
DarkenS the u. S.

The most exciting thing about the
European war this week is the alleged
break threatened between this coun-
try and Germany.
The Schoolmaster President has
been ponderously sizing up the polit-
ical situation and has written notes,
then some more notes, to the Kaiser
about sinking a few rotten ships.
That anything half as serious as
the yellow headlines of the daily news
papers is likely to come from all this
questionable diplomacy is hardly with
in belief.
Even should the threatened break
OF diplomatic relations between this
nation and Germany occur-presum-
ably to be restored at later period
it is questionable if it would amount
to much more than the Villa chase
fiasco across our southern border; but,
of course if we cannot be neutral, We
must be as neutral as we can.
Germany is of course in no situa-
tion at present to engage this country
in active warfare, and presumably the
people of the United States would OBJ
ject. IL given a chance. to any actual
declaration of war. Their verdict
would most likely be: We have the
best of it as il is. why seek the worsti
Of 1t? Our people will have plenty
to do along lines of Industrial pursuits
to feed the fool nations already at war.
And the shame of 1t is that politics
is the inspiration. The real interests
of the nation or the people are not be-
ing considered. The wolfish natures
are being fed upon war screed for
party effect.
The fighting in the European en-
gagements has continued this week as

A8ain the Sheep
Raiders Appear

Another raid on sheep was made
down along the Gunnison valley Tues
day night and sixteen head of Browns
sheep ranging on Alkili, were killed.
But meagre details of the affair have
come to hand, but it looks as though
determined effort was being made
TO prevent the sheep men from grazing
in that section.
What the outcome will be if these
sheep killing raids continue, is hard
to say: possibly the old results of
men being killed over possession of
the range will furnish the stirring
climax.
1t seems too bad that these matters
cannot be adjusted in some other way
than by butchering sheep wantonly
that are valuable for mutton, just as
