Costigan Supports Wilson and Gives
Reasons Why

The Denver News, Hughes Repub-
lican organ, was forced to publish the
following in its last Tuesdays issue !:
F.. p. Costigan of Denver, former
candidate for governor on the Pro-
gressive ticket, yesterday announced
that he will support President Wilson
for reelection, and in a lengthy state
ment to Progressives gave the rea-
sons for his action.
Mr.. Costigan gives 1t as his belief
that the public welfare will best be
safeguarded in 1918 by national Dem
ocratic victory under the present for
ward looking leadership" The con-
gressional record of the Democrats he
characterizes rs one which will be
for many years to come guide, a
standard and an inspiration for q re-
.vitalized Democracy" Enumersting
many Of the laws passed under the
guidance of President Wilson, he says
they compose a record ION which the
Progressive party, had it succeeded
in 1912, would confidently and reason
ably based its title to reelection"
MAY Progressives now deny to
others a credit they would have in
sisted on for themselves?' he asks.
"And, ifreward should be given faith
full service achieved and not merely
promised, how many Progressives in
fairness turn their backs on that rec
ord for mere Republican generalities
which have glittered, without fulfill
ment, through generation of party
ascendancy."
In regard to the Mexican imbroglio,
he says that he is not so much i'm
pressed with tn. fact that the admin
istration kept the United States out
of war as he is with the fact that ION
different occasions, when the easy
way led straight toward useless con-
fict, it did not take us there"
1.-The states right theory" he ad-
mits, ''in Democratic practice has
yielded to an all pervasive national
ism that does not stop short of meet
ing natlonaI problems with national
solutions"
On reviewing the situation, Mr.. Cos
tigan is of the opinion that the Dem
ocratic party holds, apparently,
greater proportion of 1.-The plain peo-
pie" Thoss who profit from ANTI
social conditions in law and govern
ment," he finds are more normally
gathered in the Republican party.
ITO illustrate this thought" he says,
1.-The Republican party has renomi-
mated to the Supreme bench a Judge
who, for seventeen years, has consist
emily supported practically every re-
dictionary decision of the Supreme
court Of Colorado"
He also condemns denomination of
Governor Carlson.

Commercial Clubs

There are some men who make a
practice of complaining that the Com
merciAl club accomplishes nothing
except to bring the leaders into the
limelight. For that class of men we
have small sympathy. Long ac-
quaintance with the work of Com
mercial clubs, here and elsewhere,
have shown us that the leaders work
harder and more conscientiOusly for
the public and get less for their pains
than any other class Of men in the
world. The News has sent its check
to Secretary McCrery for member
ship and adds the vote which 1t did
not have Monday night to the ex-
preston of thanks to President Hay
den, Secretary McCrery and the di-
rectors for the splendid work they
have done during the past year. Com
mercial club work is altruism, and
altruism seldom commands the en-
couragement,support and enthusiasm
which it merits.
the ABOVE CONSIDERATIONS taken, from
a late issue Of the Weld County,
Greeley, Colorado, News, applies
with equal force to the work of our
local Commercial club. Rio Blanco
Commercial club of Meeker, has been
organized ION its present basis) a lit
tie over q year. During that time, 1t
has been the means of doing incalcu-
liable good for Meeker and Rio Blanco
county. But what thanks have it's
members. who paid their so per head
as initiation fee-its county members
who pay SIP q year dues-its town
members who pay s24 per year dues,
got for their enterprise for starting
and keeping up such an organization?
Nothing but plenty Of knocks" and
fault-finding at the hands of the nu-
merous small bore people who never
contribute penny to any institution
having for its object-public good.

Carrie Nation was living at Medi-
cine Lodge out in Barber county She
occasionally visited Kiowa where saloons
ran in full blast at all hours of day and
night and made some protests. Her pro-
tests were of little avail and she oc-
casionally created an occasional ripple of
mingled excitement and amusement by
entering the saloons in Kiowa and de-
nouncing some inoffensive bartender.
There was in some of her Kiowa opera
lions some show of violence but never
any publicity attended the operations.
At this time Wichita was the most
VIGOROUSLY wide open town in Kansas
