THE NoN-PARrIsAN LEAGUE

To our way Of thinking, the So
called Non-Fartisan league that is
now trying to gain a foothoid In this
state should be sat down upon In its
incipieney.
From the beginning Of the history
Of our government we have been al.
fIieted with the third or non-repres-
sntative party, whose only aim 10 to
create chaos In the ranks Of the vot.
or. The promoters Of these parties
are Of those who have lost the con-
fldenee Of their fellow party mem.
bers who no longer trust them with
any portion Of party power. This
Non-Partisan league, that its leaders
are trying to force upon the voters
Of the state, has the abiding back
ing Of such men as Senators La Fol-
lette and Gronna, whose record az
senators for the past eight months
has been a stencil In the nostrils Of
every loyal American, by their mega
tive vote on every proposition per-
tanning to the welfare Of the country.
We arc at war with the most bar
barous nation known to history, and
these two men who have aided the
enemy by their negative vote in the
national halls Of congress, are now
making disIoyaI speeches and are
asking the farmers and miners to
support this REASONABLE orsaniza-
tion.
From the foundation Of the govern
ment, our country has continued to
grow and extend its powers under
the skiIlfuI hand Of democracy and
republieanism, and from experience
the people have learned to trust
their power and fidelity for the eoun.
try's good, but now we are about to
have introduced party whose lead
ers' aim 10 to tear down and destroy,
and the voter at the next election
should rot allow Of it's taking root
on Colorado soil.

Much dissatisfaction 10 being Gre.
ated by the acts Of the coal baron
and the flour mill hogs, but we must
remember that Mr.. Hoover who has
been appointed by the president to
adjust these matters has no prece.
dent to guide him, and 10 therefore
unable to adjust all things Alright at
the first, but in due time the coal
and flour profiteers will receive a
hard jolt.

You cant learn to live. All you can do Is to keep on learning to live.

 An associate of Charles. NJ. Schwab remarked to me the other day that the steel mans very best story deals with his interview with Lord Kitchener soon soon after the war began.
 AIl. Schwab was in London to get or ders for Bethlehem. There are things. however which do hedge about lord that are difficult for m American man n1acturer to negotiate.
 For long time it was hard sledding, and the ice seemed yard thick in the British war office. Finally, after Mir. Schwab had stumbled half a dozen times over the "my lord" General Kitchener smiled and said:
 Suppose you sit down and tell me briefly as an American business man just what you can do."
 As evidence that the king of Bethle hem was up to that task Is the fact that he brought away in his inside pocket orders for supplies worth $12S.- 100000. .-

 The best s;art in life that parent can give their children is to tel> Il them thrift.
 Thrift makes strength. The strong men ia any community are mon of thrift.
 Thrift begins to be acquired wilcn one distinguishes between luXuries and necessities and schools himself to do without luxuries.
 Wasting a cent day wastes $3.65 a year. This would buy the use of al- most $50 at 8 per cent interest.
 The thrifty man does not have to haunt the free employment bureau or feed his family on mush and milk.
 Thriftiness with money means inde- pendence of the pawnbroker and the loan shark. Thrift of time enables a man, if he so wishes. to acquire a lib eral education.

Wonderful results lave been obtain ed ill communities where the pay up campaign has been tried cut. With every one paying his or her bills there has been an immediate circulation of money. There has been quickcning of business. Persons who never dream of being dishonest often let bills run on. They are simply careless. They do not mean to dcfraud. This is a rapid age.
