Getting In Line.

Raymond Robbins, chairman Of the
progressive national convention and a
former democrat. whom the democrats
of Illinois have been trying to nomi-
nate for governor, came out this week
in unqualified support Of Mr.. Hughes

knows Mr.. Hughes to be to restore our

The date for notifying President
Wilson of his nomination has been set
for September 10. The Democratic
party is taking long chance on Civ
ing their candidate six weeks before
election, in which time he may. and
probably will change his opinion and
position several times on the import
ant issues now confronting the nation.
Within six weeks it is quite possible
for Woodrow Wilson to forget all
about the St. Louis platform and to
make his campaign wholly upon the
principles endorsed at Chicago. The
date of the Democratic notification
should have been set for November l.,
and even that would be taking too long
chance.-Pueblo Chieftain.

A motion TO make more definite and

on the tariff. Mr.. Hughes has an

But the Republican candidate will
not be especially exercised over the

AUGUST

August gets its name from Angus

been the most brilliant in history, and
Augustus did his best to eclipse it.
His choice of August as his mon

world. julius Caesar went into this
subject exhaustively. He found while

Experience is that beside which
youth and beauty are to laugh 1t

operates a gaff. Your simple maid no

ing in the sand. Her trust is in her
soulful eyes and mans wide yearning
for her hand. The widow smiles at
this soft stuff, and boldly canters down
the beach; in her campaign it is
enough that man shall come within her
reach. There is a shrek Of startled
prey. cloud of sand obscures the sky.
The chase goes laundering away as
straight as swallows ever fly. By
dune and moor it sweeps with all the
zest of sportsmen after deer, and ere
the shades of even fall she brings her
man in by the ear.

leave behind its second year. and each

body else's ear. The issue now, we
understand, pertains to who is loath to
stop. They all desire the upper hand
before they let the matter drop. The
Gear must have the Dardanelles, the
French must have the Kaiser's goat,
the Teutons must have all the shells
and Britain have the only boat. The
Turks must have the Cars back hair,
the Austrians must all be dead, and
each possessing whatsoe'er fight on
for something else instead.

FEDERAL ROAD FUNDS.
Secretary of Agriculture AppOrtions
Money to States as Provided in
New Road Law

The Secretary of Agriculture, I'M
der date of July q, 1916, certified to
the Secretary of the Treasury and
the governors and State highway de-
partments of the several States the
following apportionments of the So
900, 900 of Federal road funds avail
able for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1917. This is the first installment
of Federal moneys to be apportioned
to the States under the Federal-aid
road act approved July IL, 1916. Be
fore making the division among the
States, the Secretary, in accordance
with the act, deducted per cent, or
Sl5O,O00 needed for administering
its provisions. This left $780, 900 to
be apportioned among the states, one
third in the ratio Of area, one-third in
the ratio of population, and one-third
in the ratio of mileage of rural de-
livery routes and star routes. The
apportionment on this basis gives Col
orado $50, 69O.14.
The appOrtionment indicated above
is only of one years funds. For sue

The act requires that the apportlon-
ment for each year shall be made in
the same manner. Different sums are
appropriated for each year and the APP
portiOnment must also take into con-
sideration the population as shown by
the --latest available Federal census
and the mileage OF rural delivery and
star routes as shown by the certificate
of the postmaster general for the next
preceding fiscal year. A new appor-
tionment, therefore, must be announc-
for each fiscal year.
The apportionment as given above
does not take into consideration the

each year for ~ years for the devel-
opment Of rural roads in the National
