It is somewhat salutary to once in while
receive confirmation of the fact that money is
a measure of value; not the intrinsic value
itself In China a large supply of brass
coins has just been purchased to be melted,
their value as metal far exceeding that of their
value as a medium of exchange. The Chinese
are perfectly open minded in the matter of
values and it is not surprising to find them
using money to the best advantage.

Bishop Brewster Elected to an
Eastern Diocese.

The convention Of the diocese OF
Maine. which met at Portland, Janu-
AIRY 2Sth, elected the Right Rev.
Bishop Brewster ID. d., missionary
bishop of Western Colorado, rs bishop
of Maine.
This is not very surprising when
one remembers that Bishop Brewster
Is recognized as man Of marked
ability and considerable intellectual
attainment. While it would be a
cause of deep regret to us ifthe bishop
should see his way to accept the cleo
tion, nevertheless we rejoice that our
bishop should be shown this token OF
appreciation Of the church In the
Fast. Bishop Brewster has won the
affection and esteem Of the people OF
western Colorado since he was elect
ed bishop In 1903.

So Say We.

If the Democratic party of the state
want to put a winner against Carlson,
why don't they pick man like Sam
Wheeler OF Mesa county, who has the
interest OF the state at heart, instead
of lot of tricky politicians that have
long been relegated to the rear? The
great success of the American troops
uuder Taylor in the Mexican war In
lS48 was the war cry, Remember the
Alamo" and SO we say unto the Dem
ocratic party when they seek to pick
for us tricky politician, remember
the disastrous defeat Of 1914. The
voter of colorado will no longer stand
for few politicians in Denver and
Denver newspapers picking his can
didate.-Giipin County Observer.

Throwing Sarcasm at the Colonel
and Others.

The sardonic humorist of the New
York Evening Post is having his fun
at the expense of the Colonel, Son-in-
law Nick Longworth and the rest.
He emits the following for the enjoy
ment of the nation:
"rhat same lack Of preparedness
which should have lost us the Rev.
olutionary war, but didn't; which did
lose us the war of 1912, only we were
lucky; which should have lost us the
Mexican war, only that the Mexicans
were even less prepared than we
were; which made the Civil war y
four years job for Abraham Lincoln,
instead of cleaning up the South in
three months, rs the corresponding
secretary Of any defense league today
could have done; which went on, odd
ly enough, to give us victory In 1888,
when it would have been better for
Preparedness today il we had been
beaten in lS9S-that same lack OF pre-
paredness, we say, Is regrettab'y

The Craftsmanship Of President
Wilson.
A Washington dispatch says:

1t is requiring all the statesman
ship, tact and diplomacy that our
great president can command to keep
the United States Senate from fore
ing him to the fatal step Of plunging
the United States into war with Mex
leo. 1t would be ridiculous for the
United States to inaugerate war
against Mexico simply because band
of Mexican outlaws near the WIN. II.
Hearst ranch murdered thirteen A
merican citizens. President Carran-
"a Is rapidly restoring peace to all
parts of Mexico. and In a short while,
there is every reason to believe he
will have the entire republic of Mex
leo pacifed and prosperous; he has
Promised to do everything possible
to capture the murderers and punish
them.
Last May the German government
murdered ll6 American citizens when
they unlawfully sank the Lusitania.
She has repeated this crime several
times since, and still there Is no clam
or in this country for war with Ger
many. If Uncle Sam refuses to fight
'anyone his size," like Germany, he
is not such coward as to declare q
ridiculous war against Mexico. sim
ply because he would be sure Of VIC
tory. The clamor for this war comes
from such men as William Randolph
Hearst, who owns q string Of papers
including such cities as Boston, New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, and
other places and is alleged to control
or own the Washington Post, and .
number of other papers, secretly. Mr..
Hearst has been the most persistent
promoter of war with Mexico Of any
man In the country. So he, through
his editors, it Is believed writes the
editorials for the Washington Post
clamoring for war and the next day
he sends u two-coluinn telegram to
the Washington Post congratulating
it on an editorial for war, which was
written no doubt at his dictation. Mr.
Hearst will forget some day and come
out and congratulate himself on his
own editorials.
Mr.. Hearst owns great tracts Of
land, probably q million acres, In
Mexico and il he could induce the
United States to fight Mexico and an
mex it his land would probably be
worth one hundred million dollars.
SO 1t is clear that he has strong mo-
tive for wishing to plunge the two
countries into war. BY owning num-
ber Of newspapers secretly" he can
make big howl, and has made such
howl SO big it has scared the Sem
ate. But the howls are nothing but
the screams of the chorOus of the
Hearst editors in the papers which
he secretly or publicly owns.
For more than twenty years the
United States have been trying to
draw the South American republics
into closer relation and friendship
with the United States. and we have
succeeded admirably in this endeav-
or. To declare war against Mexico
would turn every South American
country against us. because South
America and Mexico both belong to
the latin race. For this reason as well
as humanitarian reasons President
Wilson desires to avoid war with
Mexico, and SO do all real American
people.
