Advancing Daily.

The conditions that prevail in the
wearing apparel market are a great
deal more serious than the consumer
has any idea of. The European war
has caused everything in the dry
goods line to advance from ten to rs
percent, which advances are due to the
great demand for the various articles
from the raw material to the finish
ed product. The foreign countries
nave bought American products and
ehe Latin American countries have
come to America for her merchan-
disc. Up to Jan %, 1916, there was
shipped from the port of New York
the following lines in dry goods for
foreign countries: Cotton cloths, ST.
o47 ,564, cotton duck, $652,S4S, manu-
factures of cotton, $740,144; cotton
yarns, $34S, ,2S6; knit goods, s1,235,
o26; manufactures of wool, $3,5l6,25l
wearing apparel, $7lS,719. The dye
stuffs have advanced from zoe to $40
pound and are very hard to get at
eIrers who have guaranteed the col
ors as fast. Most of them have said
their colors are commercially fast
which is not a guarantee of fast col
or. The demand and scarcity of dyes
are not the only items that have caus-
ed an increase in the wearing apparel
line. Gasoline that is used to oper-
ate the big machines in manufactur
ing has advanced from 13c gallon
IN 1915 to 26c gallon in 1916 in the
central states, an increase of 100 per
cent. Everything that has gone into
the manufacture of anything that we
have to wear has advanced in price.
even the stationery that the bills and
statements are written on, has ad-
over 100 per cent. Labor in the east
has advanced in accordance with
other things all of which makes it
very plain why the things we have
10 wear have advanced and will con
tinue to advance. The large buyers
have no advantage over the smaller
buyers and in many cases the small
buyers have advantage over the larg
er ones. The manufacturers know
that the large buyers must have the
goods, and knowing this, they are
made to pay the price, while the small
merchants can get along without GER
tain merchandise and will not buy un-
less they get the right price, while
the large buyers must have the goods
regardless of the price. Every manu-
facturer of anything in the dry goods
line has been running to full capa-
city and has found ready market
for all that he has had to sell. This
being the condition he will not sell
unless he gets his price.

roads, has the lowest tax rate in the
state.
Costilla county has never been much

low tax rate.

never paid a cent of city tax. Dur

PLANNING FOR TRAIL.

Local mining men and the forest
service officials and others will hold
l meeting at the Exchange rooms
tomorrow evening for the purpose of
giving their support to the building
Of a fourfoot trail about four miles
long, beginning at or near the Jones
ranch on Junction creek and extend
ing to Walls Gulch. This trail will
lead to the ORC F'ino mining district.
The men claim that trail of this
sind will decrease materially the ex-
pense of bringing their ore to the
.jmelter as it must be done by pack
trains.
These men claim that later this
rail can be widened for wagon trav-
el. The price of silver and other met
ais has stimulated the mining indus
lry to the extent that local mining
men wan to get busy up in the
"a Platas. Tomorrow evening the
lerits of this trail will be set forth
by those who are interested in and
,inow the country.

The note intimates that if the u.
S. government is unable to obtain
such pledges from the allies that
Germany may return to her former
methods of summarizing, and puts ac-
quiescence in the demands on the
ground of responsibility before the
forum of history of mankind" as well
as the friendship of America.
The note bitterly assails Great
Bnt..i.. for violating the laws which
safeguard the freedom of the seas,
and declares that Germany is under
the impression that while America
threatens a diplomatic break with
Germany, unless the most effective
arm of her warfare is abandoned, she
is merely protesting to the allies
against the Illegal acts committed BY
them.
The note admits the possibility that
the unidentified steamer that was
sunk by the Germans may have been
the Sussex.
BERLIN, May 5.-That Germany
has yielded practically every demand
made by the United States, is the view
here.
BERLIN, May 5.-The Lokal An
zeiger in commenting on the Ger
man reply to the American note,
said:
"We hope the sense of justice of
the Americans will be satisfied with
Grrmany's friendly advance, which
was made out of full knowledge OF
her powers, successes and the JUS
tice of our cause.
The German standpoint cannot be
criticised because it is based on the
principles of international law and
humanity, which America has repeat
odly maintained"
WASHINGTON, d. c., May a.

IMPOSSIBLE, OF COURSE.

The mater of taking the tariff out
of politics has been discussed more
or less in this country. That it
would be better if it were out of poll
tics there is no question. That it is
impossible to get it out of politics
likewise there is no question.
The having tariff out of politics
and the getting of the tariff out of
politics are very different matters al
tho they seem closely related.
This is similar to the purification
of politics so much discussed about
the time that the Peoples party was
cleaning up the old parties back in
the eighties. The people were being
told that politics should be purified.
1t was then that the famous Kansas
senator and orator, John ]. Ingalls,
said that it was alright to talk about
the purification of politics, but he
also pulled of for the American peo-
pie that worldwide famous expires
sion, "Purity in politics is an irri-
descent dream"
Below we are giving yor the op'n-
ion of tie American press when Pres
ident Wilson said he desired to take
the tariff out of politics.

The framers of Act No. 1 deemed this to be the nearest ap- proach to a registration system that could be had under the Arkansas con- stitution.
 The proposed law postpones the pri- mary from the last Tuesday in March to the last Tuesday in May. Thus a great deal of winter campaigning would be avoided. The primary could not be set for later day because, under existing laws, the delegates must be selected to both the state and national conventions.
 This election measure provides pen alties for
 The casting, knowingly, of a vote in any primary election when the voter is not qualified elector.
 The receiving, knowingly, of vote when the voter is not qualified elector
 The casting of vote in the primary of party to which the voter does not adhere; but this would not apply to any one who, in good faith, abandoned previous political utilization. The wrongful and fraudulent certi- fication of any vote or return. The destruction, abstraction, or taking away of ballots, list of voters or returns, or the making of false cer- l tificates.
 The failure by judges and clerks to make or deliver the list and certifi- cates required of them. The willful tearing down or des- truction of the summary of votes posted at the election precinct by the judges or clerks.
 The giving or receiving of money or anything of value to influence vote.
