A Party in Disrspute.
[Rocy Mt. News (Denver) Sept al

Rocy Mt. News lDenFer) oept EfJ
The other day we wrote regard
ing the National Non-partlsan
league, which was about to hold
a three-day conference DIT Mime
apolis. We gave a partial list of
the speakers invited to the cen
ference and suggested that the
conference would be worth watch
ing. We judged. from the names
that all was not well. 1t turned
out much worse than we feared
would be the case with such
motley throng. Federal author
ties are looking over the short
hand notes taken of the proceed
ings with d view to action against
those not protected by their otfic-
ial place, for treason. or sedition.
What took place last week at
Minneapolis is of moment here.
The new party found many ad-
herents in Colorado. Organizers
were all over the state picking
up initiation fees and dues in
gobs. The early political birds
were getting on the band wagon
so fast there threatened tc be a
breakdown of the wagon. The
new organization was going to
sweep this state as it swept North
Dakota last year; 1t was to be d
second coming of Populism and
what not.
Coming on the heel Of the state
department. publication of the
Bernstorff cable appeal for $780,
GOO with which to fix" congress
the proceedings of the new party
conference were ill-timed to say
the least. 1t will take the party
a long time to get away from the
odor left upon it by its president
and LaFollette and his ilk. A
feeling will exist that perhaps a
chunk of the Bernstorff slush
fund found its way to leaders of
this organization as well as other
avowedly peace" propaganda
organizations. The Norpartisan
league was non-partisan perhaps
in local party politics but where
did it stand with reference to in
terna.ional affairs?
The new party, which was to
creep in between the two main
parties and disorganize both, was
an appeal chiefly to the farmer
and to labor unions to unite and
rule the nation. Among its chic f
exponents were single tax ad-
vocates and extremists in politics
and off-shoot leaders from both
old parties. Its tentative plat
form was advanced. fully as
much so as the Populist ssdeclara-
tions of a quarter of a century
back were ahead of the platforms
of the regular parties.
All of which mattered little so
long as loyalty predominated
among proponents and followers.
We are living in radial age.
What was Socialism and to be
feared short time back is now
being enforced by the federal
government to the satisfaction of
the nation.
But a disloyal. un-American
party, bolstered by enemy coin
or influence is another PROPOSE
ton.
When the farmer comes to un-
derstand regarding the real OBJ
jects of the new party, whatever
they may be, and they certainly
are in suspicious company for the
present, he will act accordingly
and what he will do will be re-
membered by those who sought
to lead him by the nose into a
trap baited by LaFollette. a

great value to the pupils and

The boys at the dormitory en-
joyed a feast on cantaloupes and
tomatoes, donated by Mr.. and
Mrs. Pfost, Saturday. The same
friends brought in a generous
supply of ripe tomatoes.
New regulations have been
made with regard to playing or

can play in any matched game.

from India told of going into the in
terror of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had bottle of Cham

Remedy with him and believed that
it saved his life. This remedy is used
successfully in India both as pre-

Billy Bunny and His Friends

1t was certainly very kind in Sue
Cow to tell Billy Bunny to hide, for az
soon as the Big Farmer came into tho
shed he locke all around You see. he
could tell by the footprints In the snow
that little rabbits were about. and as
the footprints led right up to the cow
shed. and stopped right there. ne
thought the rabbits must have gone in
side. But as he couldn't see them any
where. he sat down on a one-leggeu
stool and began to milk Sue Cow.
Billy Bunny and Bobby Tail didn't
dare move They hardly dared to
breathe. In fact, Billy got very black
in the face holding his breath. Bobby
got terribly frightened. and whispered:
"Sakes alive, you'll drive me wild.
You're turning into colored child!
"S-s-si,." answered Billy. Il was on
IL holding my breath. When I breath
ed it made the straws wiggle and they
tickled my nose till I was afraid I'd
sneeZe."
Sue Cow suddenly began shaking her
head very hard, and the bell at her
neck made a great tinkle-t inkle. She
did it on purpose. for she was afraid
the Big Farmer would hear them whis-
pering.
Steady steady. old girl" cried the
Big Farmer, stopping his milking and
