THEN AND NOW

1t is now just eighteen months since
the present state officials took office
For six years previous to that time the
Democrats had been in power and by
their extravagances and general in
compentency had well nigh bankrupt
ed the state. A short time before they
retired from office, four per cent. state
bonds had sold in Denver for as low
as IS cents on the dollar and the state
certificates of Indebtedness for as low
as IS ents The state penitentiary
had floating debt of over $50, 900.
Some of the state educational institu-
tions we're fearing that they might
have to close their doors and gen.
eral Generalization was in evidence
everywhere.
Today, owing to the careful and
business-like administration, Colorado
State bonds are eagerly snapped up
at par by investors; certificates of
Indebtedness are purchased at face
value, and interest, by the state
Treasurer; the floating debt of the
penitentiary has been paid in full; the
educational institutions are all on easy
street. and the credit of the state is as
high as that Of any state in the union.
Since January /, 1916. insurrection
bonds af the issue of 1897. to the
amount Of $4,000 have been purchas
ed and cancelled and bonds of other
issues to the amount of over 1850, ,00O
for different state funds; most OF
them for the school fund. and notwith
standing this large purchase, there is
more money on hand by over hall
million dollars then there was eight
teen months ago. Reckless expendi
lures have been stopped; delinquent
creditors of the state have been made
to pay up. and some who had beer
overpaid have been made to disgorge
This fine work has been brought about
only by persistent, Intelligent effort
and those who are inclined to believe
that most OF the time of all state Off
cials has been spent in running around
making speeches are seriously mis-
informed.-LakeC City Times.

There were surprises all around II
the Nebraska primary results. Late
returns indicate that Henry Ford leads
Cummins, his nearest competitor, for
the Republican Presidential nomlna
tion by 1000 votes. That does not in
dictate that Nebraska Republicans are
in the "heroic mood" to demand the
Fire-Eater of Oyster Bay as their
national leader. William j. Bryan,
by the same returns, appears sixth on
the list of candidates for delegates-at
large to the Democratic National Con-
venton, of whom four are to be elect
ed. Later returns may change the re-
suits, but the present indications are
that Mr.. Bryan is elected TO stay at
home, while his brother, G. w. Bryan,
is defeated for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor and the Bryan can
didate for the Senatorial nomination
is likewise among the also-rans. II is
evident that Nebraska Democrats are
loyal to President Wilson's Admins.

April 18th has been an important
day in United States history. 1t was
on a pril 49, l715, that the embattled
farmers at Lexington fired the shot

tated the American Revolution. On
April 10, 1861, the mob in Baltimore
attacked the Sixth Massachusetts regi-
ment and the first blood of the civil
war was shed. And now, on April 10,
1916, President Wilson demands, in the
name of humanity, that Germany cease
her warfare against passenger vessels.

The punitive expedition can become
an invasion OF Mexico only If the ar
rogance and short-sightedness Of
General CarranZa, his advisers and os.
tensible followers make it so. United
States troops were sent into Mexico
for the purpose Of capturing Villa and
dispensing his bandit band, The lack
OF Carranza q effective co operation is
chiefly responsible for the failure thus
far to accomplish that purpose.

Carranza and Obregon would display
sagacity if they were to assure their
people that we were in Mexico by their
permission and to eXterminate their
enemies and that we would retire with
the accomplishment Of that purpose.
But it seems to be the purpose OF Obre-
gon to stir up trouble instead OF to
make our way smooth. Such efforts

leader, has frequently shown his IN
ability to rise above partisan consider
atoms. but he reached the depths OF
degradation in his effort to make
political capital out OF the present
crisis with Germany. The spectacle
he presented in his lying criticism OF
the Presidents attitude must make
patriotic Republicans hang their heads
in shame that such small souled'
vindictiye and un.American politician
of the peanut variety is the accredited
leader " their party in the House OF
Representatives.
In one sentence Mr.. Mann seeks to
raise race and religious issue out OF
the foreign relations of his govern
ment. "The truth is, " Mann declares,
"the President is acknowledgements
and hates the Dutch " With this
summing mp Of the situation of his
mind, he continues: at is perfectly
evident that the President, as cam
psign political dodge, is tryingto work
up to point where he car get into
war with Germany during President
ial campaign. The President has never
been neutral. What he has said about
Germany while it is grossly exagger
ated, is a Just complaint, But he could
say Just the same about England and
our shipping, substituting Selling
ships for sinking ships. "
When Mr. Mann says that the Presi-
dent has never been neutral, he lies,
and he Knows it. He is well aware
that there is not grain OF truth in
such an assertion. For more than n
year, against tremendous pressure from
the sympathizers OF both sides OF the
European struggle, President Wilson
has maintained the equilibrium Of
neutrality with success which is best
attested by the fact that both sides
have accused him of favoring the other.
The latter part Of his accusation re-
veaIs the lttleness of the Mann mind
and the Mann heart in all their shame
lessness. To the Republican leader in
Congress human life, including the
lives OF American citizens, is OF no
more consequence than SO much pork.
a shipload Of meat from Mann's con
gressional bailiwick may be held 10
by English officials for "A year and then
paid for A passenger ship is sunk
without warning and 200 men, women
and children perish. Their lives can
never be returned or recompensed.
But the two cases are Identical TO
Mann one is sinking a ship and the
other is Selling ship, and in the
Mann catalogue OF crimes both are
equal. There is no reason for any &C
tion in the one case, according to the
Mann theory, that should not apply to
the other.
While Mr.. Roosevelt has been de-
nouncng President Wilson because he
has been trying to avoid war, Mr..
Mann charges the President with try
ing 70 embroil his country in war as "a
politi cal dodge, the most Infamous
charge that could be brought against
the President, but one which carries
no weight because of its own apparent
ialsity and It's mendacious source
The fact that Mann says it would be
enough TO condemn it even did not the
well known facts revea! its vileness
and imbecility. But TO think that this
Mann has even been mentioned as a
Presidential possibility God help
any country that should be unfortunate
enough TO be afflicted with such warped
souls in high places
