three times as much to these ms
tltutlOns as some members?
DO not misunderstood US and
think we begrudge this, but just
think on the other hand how little
some of YOU are doing to show
your appreciation.
TO exist a newspaper must have
readers, and, not only readers
but advertisers and a lot of them
in these times of high prices. 1t
behOoVes every one, therefore, to
do his part. The reader should
paw his subscription promptly
and the merchant should be lib
eral with his advertising.
1t is under these circumstances
only that a newspaper can exist.
Think it over and see if you can
not meet us half way. We thank
you in advance, for we believe
you will.

1t is perfectly natural that we

what it would mean not to have
this privilege? The editor may
not give much actual cash to the

Sundays papers report that
800 small town newspapers in
the United States have been
compelled to suspend because of
the great increase in the price of
print paper and other materials
which on the whole is more than
80 per cent. We trust our read
ers will not be disposed to force US
to follow this course. So far we
have had little complaint to
make, as since we increased our
rates in July we have taken on
about 60 new subscribers as a.
sainst dozen lost; We must,
however insist that our subscrib-
ers be prompt in their renewals,
as it is too expensive to carry
them long. Many papers will be-
gin on January LIST to stop every
paper that IS not paid for strictly
in advance. We hardly expect
to enforce this rule to letter, but
we certainly cannot carry you,
dear reader, on our books longer
than 6 months past due. State.

meantime. Do not wait for a
statement, come in and pay up

They do say that John F. Wv

the slightest doubt but his man
Carlson would be elected and
to think too, that jefferson county

of nearly 700 votes, which repre-

presidency and this last analogy
of how it happened" by the
Colonel, proves one Of the three
things: First, that he wanted to
see himself in the public print
once more; second, he wanted
to ascribe the victory to himself
and place the people under last
ing obligations, or third, that he
was as big a traitor to Hughes as
he was to the Progressive party,
for surely, if Mr.. Roosevelt now
recognizes the elements that con-
tributed to Mr.. Wilson's success,
he must have known instinctively
that his TRADE of abuse was weak
ening the chances Of the man
whose cause he professed to be
championing.
1t is our humble opinion that
one r. r. is politically dead, and
inasmuch as he seems still to
want the credit of having done
something for the American
people, we would suggest that
President Wilson, on his own be-
half and of the nation, express
appreciation by appointing him
minis ter to Netherlands or else, if
he should need a peace envoy
to Germany, reward the Colonel
with that important commission.
1t is quite evident that he is going
to demand recognition of some
sort.

After several weeks of silence.
Theodore Roosevelt came forth
with the remarkable statement
that three years of praise and one
year of abuse is what reelected
President Wilson. Admitting
Roosevelt's theory to be correct
the American people still owe Mr..
Roosevelt a vote of thanks, for it
is generally conceded that Mr..
Roosevelt disseminated more a
buse of the president than any
other speaker in the campaign.
1t has frequently been suggested
that Mr.. Roosevelt was never en-
thrsiastic over the idea of Chas,
Evans Hughes succeeding to the

Mrs. M. A. Cochran, editor of

line of work and is, we believe,
qualified in every way to fill the
position Politically she deserves
the recognition she is asking for.

Our old friend John Barkhau-
sen, of the Denver Democrat,
seems to be pretty well inside on
the home stretch for printing
commissioner. John would run
che office, we believe, on a fair
and impartial basis. His editorial
polse has always been free from
the dominance of clique or clan,
as far as we have been able to
discern, and a newspaper man
who can so conduct his paper in
a city like Denver must have a
spine that is not easily kinked.

The PaIeObotanist.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Paleobo-
tanists are botanists who delve into
the dim and distant past; they are
botanists working on fossil remains of
plants which inhabited the earth
thousand, a million. or perhaps 25
million years ago. The paleobotanist
like the common, ordinary variety of
botanist, is continually making dis
cOveries Of species new to science, al
though these new" species may
have flourished when the Rocky
Mountains were just beginning to ap-
pear above the primal ocean. Like
the modern botanist. again. as soon
as he discovers a new plant of anci-
ent days he gives at Latin name,
such, for instane, as Quercus chap
maniolia which is a cousin to an
other hoary, fossil oak, namely QUE
rcus myrtillodes, whose existing cou-
sin today, Quercus chapmani, is found
iE Georgia and Florida. Some Of
these things are discovered in a short
report by Edward Wilbus Berry just
Issued by the United States Geological
Survey at Washington as Profession
al Paper 9S-F. The report, as may
be inferred. is purely technical but
IL may be Of especial interest to ma
tives Of the city Of Washington, for
it notes that certain fossil elm leaves
found embedded in the rocks Of the
District Of Columbia and those near
Richmond, Va, are of the same fam
lily Of elms that have been found in
Iceland and Greenland.

THE UNITED STATES
AMERICAN NOTE TO THE ALLIES
Is VIGOROUS IN ITS
TONE.

WASHINGTON, May 27.--The Unit
ed States. denouncing interference
with neutral mails. has notified Great
Britain and France that it no longer
can tolerate the wrongs which Ameri-
can citizens have suffered and contin-
ue to suffer through the 'lawless
practice" those governments have in
dulged in, and that only a radical
change in policy, restoring the Unit
ed States to its full rights as nett
trail power will be satisfactory.
This notification is given in the
latest American communication to
the two governments, the text of which
was made public by the state depart
ment last night. The time in which
the change must be effected is not
specified, but the United States expects
prompt action.
Generous and vexatious" abuses,
which have been perpetrated by the
British and French governments in
seizing and censoring neutral mails.
are recited in the communication. and
answers are made to the legal argu-
ments contained in the reply Of the
entente governments to the first Am
erican note on the subject. 1t is Wig
orously set forth that not only have
American commercial interests been
injured, but that the rights of prop
erty have been violated and the rules
Of international law and custom pal
pably disregarded.
Notice is served that the United
States soon will press claims against
the British and French governments
for the losses which already have been
sustained
