GETS THINGS BADLY MIXED
Young Candidate from La Junta
Loses Vote on Account of
Carelessness

One OF the prominent young candi-
dates out for election this fall is a
very hearty hand shaker and this is
possibly the cause of the loss Of a.
least one vote that he would have re
ceived had he let matters go as they
stood instead of attempting to maxi
reparation in haste At any rate tho
young lady is all peeved over the af
fair which is nothing more or less than
one of those mistakes that Away
come when we least expect them and
which are never found out until it
everlastingly too late.
This young man was shaking hand
with Rocky Ford young lady thu
week and as he learned that this sea
son would be her first offense at tn
polls he squeezed her hand httl
harder as he congratulated her an
solicited her support when all Of :;
sudden he felt the glove on the lady
hand give and sure enough there wa
a perfectly good kid glove all squeez
ed to pieces. OF course it did no
make a particle of difference, and I'll
Young lady told him so but he said he
would make it right and he did, yes

NEW HOME OPENS
TO STATE INSANE
BUILDINGS AT PUEBLO ASYLUM,
COSTING S225 900 ARE COM
PLETED AND DEDICATED
TO HUMANITY.
MOTTO OF WOMEN FIRST"
Burden Raised from Many Counues
Thru Republican Administra-
tons Efforts

Pueblo, Colo, oct. 1.-THE most
humane step which Colorado has ever
taken-one in which every county,
city, town and citizen should be IN
terested-came today. when the three
new buildings at the State Asylum
for the Insane, in this city, were de-
clared open for patients. and when one
OF those buildings actually received
patients.
Women First" was the good policy
observed. In the three buildings there
is ample room for 300 patients, and
today 100 women were received. I'M
mediately 200 more pauents-ihale
and female-will be enrolled. Thus
all of the states insane will be cared
for in the asylum and an unjust load
will be taken from various counties
that have been compelled, through the
asylums former inadequucy, TO care
for many of their own insane.
The new buildings are fireprooL
germ proof. epidemic proof. and, what
is quite as much TO the pubic credit
they are debt proof They were paid
for before they were opened. In ad'
dition there is a lighting plant. heal
ing plant, kitchens. and the finest hos
pilaI rooms and every latest clinical
equipment and apparatus.
In his inaugural address in January
1915. Governor George A. Carlson
spoke of the deplorable condition oil
Colorado's insane patients who could
not all be housed In the state asylum
and who were scattered through the
various county hospitals and poor
farms. II was the states duty, as
Governor Carlson saw it, TO care for
these people in the proper manner
He announced in favor OF an Appropri'
alton, and in fulfillment OF thai
promise addressed a message to the
Legislature, which Republican BODY
responded with s225.OOO for the build
ings. In their erection, however
$4,000 was saved on each structur,
over what had previously been paid
by Democratic administrations fol
other buildings which were not fire
proof nor highly sanitary. This sI5.
900 was saved to the state despite th'
soaring cost OF building material
Further investigations by Governor
Carlson revealed $50 insane patients il
the different counties. The number
had been increasing during the two
Shafroth administrations and the one
Ammons administration, yet NOTHING
was done by the state to house thes'
people In a humane way until Cover
nor Carlson took hold.
The Democrats had left a deficit ii
the treasury. and the S225.00O cos
looked like an appalling. discourasinl
proposition. But the buildings ar
up: they are ready for patients; an,
all is paid for.
1t Is one OF the vast and laudabl
accomplishments OF the Republican
administration. And even with thi
and other things of like scope. tn
/ Carlson administration, heir to larg
deficits from three Democratic admin
istrAtions, can today point to a treas
ury surplus OF over 100000.

Chauncey Parsons and Miss Forsyth were
acclaimed Colorados greatest singers in
contest heard by 400 persons Over 1000
pushed and iostled to get into the big Den
yer Auditorium, but were turned away be-
cause there was no more room.
The whole world heard OF this unique con
test. Everyone knows that Colorado 5 air
and Colorado S sunshine produce sweet sing
ers that vie with the songbirds from the
mountains Of Italy, the peaks Of Switzerland
and the fiords of the north of Europe.
So we want YOU to hear these Colorado
singers
Listenl When Mr. Parsons and Miss For
syth were acclaimed the winners OF The
News Times Columbia contest they were es-
eorted to the laboratories of the Columbia
Graphophone company in New York City.
There they sang again these sweet old songs
for the benefit Of all who love talent and ap-
preciate music.

The South American Example.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Argentina
copied her form of government from
the United States. Her constitution,
with some small exceptions. Is ident-
ical with that which congressman at
Washington propose many times each
session to amend. But in some re-
spects Argentina has been far wiser
than her constitutional mentor.
This South American republic has
acted in the matter Of national self
defense while we have been merely
talking about it. Argentina has organ
lied an army, while the United states
has merely organized debates on paci-
tism.
At the basis of Argentina's military
efficiency is law providing for uni
versai training for men between 20
and As. For the first decade of this
period the men belong to the active
army or first line; for another 10
years to the national guard, and for
the last five years they are members
of the territorial guard. The period OF
continuous service or training in the
ranks is for the greater proportion
only three months.
This provides an army of 100000
trained men available for an emer-
gency: yet the peace strength of the
military establishment is only some
$4,000. Argentina has solved the mill
tary problem without swinging tc
militarism.
This is what the war in Europe has
meant to one nation in the western
hemisphere. What it means to the
United States is yet to be determined
One thing it should bring is the estab-
lishment of some systems OF universal
military training.

Despite the constant reports of an
expected anti-British uprising in the
Sudan, one-fourth of the British mill
tary and civil staff-there were fewer
than 400 in all-have been allowed to
return home to rejoin their regiments
or to volunteer. No increase in the
British electives has been asked for or
contemplated. For nearly 100000
square miles there are fewer than 1000
British soldiers. At the beginning OF
the entrance OF Turkey into the war,
the sirdar received kilograms and let
ters from the principal chiefs of the
Sudan, condemning the action of the
Young Turks and expressing whole
hearted loyalty to the British empire.
OF all who came forward at that time
with declarations of sympathy and 10y
atty, only two have since been put un-
der formal restraint for political in
trigue with the enemy. So reports
Herbert Adams Gibbons. author of The
New Map of Europe, who recently spent
a considerable time in north Africa
studying conditions, and who contrib
utes his conclusions to the January
Century in an article entitled, Great
Britain in the Sudan. In this second
article in his series on the problems
of reconstruction that confront Europe,
it is said that Mr.. Gibbons analyzes the
British policy in the upper Nile region
and outlines the extraordinary results
obtained there by Sir Reginald Win
gate, Kitchener's successor as sirdar.

Mr.. Gronvold is one of the old timers

Senator Gronvold has always been

He was very much interested in the

HELPING MEXICO TO COLLEGE.

New York Evening Post: The reA
sponse OF American colleges TO the
proposal that they make IL easy for
Mexican youths to come here to study
has been prompt and generous, more
than hundred institutions having
made definite offers OF assistance in
the form OF remission OF tuition fees
or of scholarships covering the ex-
pense OF both board and tuition. Tha
other part of the project, for a visit
of so Mexican educators to this coun-
try, has met with less success so fars
although il may be regarded as tho
more important half OF the plan. Ths
objection has been made that such a
visit is not expedient at this timeS
because OF the strained relations be%
tween the two countries. This has m
fantastic sound. Relations are not
what they should be. but TO call them
strained in the sense of initiating
against such visit as that proposed
is to exaggerate what Is abnormal in
them. A preliminary looking over Of
the ground by men who know the
qualifications of Mexican students
would seem highly desirable. To ar
range for year of study which
those who came might do more harm
than good. Some one OF our educa-
tional foundations or an individual
has the opportunity of rendering an
international service by making the
suggested visit of Mexican educators
possible. The matter is In the hands
of Stanley r.. Yarnall OF the Friends
School. Germantown. Philadelphia.

Fargo Man Tells Of
Meeting Lloyd-G George

Probably DR.. r. A. Beard, pastor OF the
First Congregational church of this
city, is the only person in Fargo who
has had the privilege of a personal
meeting with Lloyd George, who Is now
premier Of England and whose name
figures in practically every press dis

DR.. Beard was asked for an inter-

more by accident than anything else.
"On account OF the sickness of my
son, who was student in Oxford,
Mrs. Beard and I spent the summer of
1912 in England. In a London church,
which I supplied, there was a Mon

potent forces in all the island king

cratic ideas. Whenever Gladstone had
an important measure to introduce in

After Mr. Holmes had shown me
around through the great political
power house we seated ourselves at a

many dining rooms and were just on

is quick spoken, with characteristic
Welsh accent, and has a voice which,
though quite musical, gives his speech
an effectiveness that arrests attention
at once. He has a most bewitching
twinkle in his eye, indica ting his keen
sense of humor, but this twinkle

"After we three had finished our
lunch we went out upon one of the

to me was, You people in the States

me that he should have been called to
