We notice the Democratic press
is busy abusing Stone and Bryan.
Yet Stone was it's ideal states
man for chairman of the Senate
committee on foreign relations.
He yet misfits that position. Bry
an was three times the Demo-
cratic candidate for president,
but a merciful Providence avert
ed the calamity of his election.
But President Wilson found in
him his ideal for secretary of
state. We are somewhat puzzled
but is there not an inconsistency
somewhere in all this reversing
of positions?

Automobile Licenses Issued

Otero county has issued 1926 au-
tomobile licenses thus far this year.
as compared TO 1860 for the previous
year. The number OF licenses issued
TO owners is 1917. and to dealers
the number Is so. The amount re-
os.yed by otero county for automo-
bile licenses Is about $500. This
shows that over $1,000. 900 has been
invested by residents of Otero coun-
ty In automobiles. II the upkeep OF
each machine averages SIS per
month. residents OF Otero county
expend about $4,000 per month for
this purpose. or 100000 per year.
This is nearly one-half of the total
OF taxes to be paid by Otero
county this year. People who spend
this amount on automobiles each
year have no just cause to howl
about their taxes. or the high cost OF
living either. for that matter.

Patriotic Graduates Given Diplomas

Fourteen seniors of Colorado Col
lege. young men In whose hearts the
patriotic appeal of the president Of
the United States for volunteers
truck a sympathetic note, last Tues
day morning bade farewell to college
life. and stepped out into the world
to do their bit toward upholding
the principles of liberty and equality,
upon which the country is founded.
In one of the most stirring ad-
dresses ever delivered In Colorado
Springs, DR.. William F.. Slocum con-
ferred degrees upon these young men
who were graduated before the end
of the school year TO enable them
to go to Fort Riley, Kan, to take
the military course at the officers
reserve corps training camp, which
is scheduled to open next week. DR..
Slocum declared that the diplomas
he awarded were the most valuable
ever given by the college; that they
meant more than any ever given be-
cause they were awarded on this
special occasion to enable the re-
cipients to go forth to serve their
country. DR.. Slocum spoke feelingly
OF the part which the United States
is to play In the titanic European
struggle and of the great principles
which this nation is pledged to up
hold.
One Of the fourteen graduates was
Earl Ewert. son of DR.. A. L. T. Ew-
ert, of this city.

serving; by augmenting the food sup

sobriety OF the labor market: by

Washington Elected School Director

John G. Washburn was elected
to succeed himself as school direct
or In District No. IL last Monday.
Very little interest was taken In the
election as Mr.. Washburn was the
only one who had filed notice OF his
candidacy with the secretary OF the
district. Late In the day. however.
a new candidate appeared upon the
scene. and might have been elected
had not Mr.. Washburn's friends
got wise to the deal that was on.
Enough votes were dug up at the
last minute, however. to insure Mr..
Washburn's election. The vote cast
was thusly: J. G. Washburn. So:

Travelling Bootlcggcr Nailed

While Marshal Wieneke was ON
dress parade at the depot platform
last Sunday morning he observed q
suspicious looking individual weight
ed down with "a huge grip of un-
known contents. The suspicious look
Ing individual had the appearance
of n man who was apout to enter
a plea OF guilty to most any old
charge, In the hope that 1t would
be relief to his mind. Our marshal
decided to investigate and SO took
the gentleman in tow and piloted him
to sequestered spot for the pur-
pose OF investigation. When the grip
was opened twelve large quart bot
ties of whisky were exposed to view.
The stranger within our gates was
Immediately consigned to private
apartments in the city hoosegow.
After spending a quiet but peace
ful day in Jail the gentleman ap-
peared before his majesty, Judge
wilkins, on Monday. He confessed
to the name OF Henry Rohrey, and
claimed Swink as his permanent
abiding place, He said he had been
down to Ration to lay In a supply
OF good red liquor for private con-
sumption. As the amount contained
In the grip was several quarts above
the speed limit permitted in Colo
RADIO booze circles at the present
juncture, Judge wilkins announced
that 500 and costs, or total
of $1,000, would be the amount
necessary to appease the outraged
majesty OF the law In this particular
instance. The gentleman from Swink
dug down In his jeans and paid the
amount gladly and cheerfully and
went on his way painfully rejoicing
that 1t was probably as well with
him as II could be under the unfor-
tuitous conditions which seemed to
hedge him about. The gentleman
from Swink pungled up about 312.50
per quart for his twelve bottles of
booze. after he had figured up rail-
road fare both ways to Ration and
the original cost OF the red liquor.
The high cost of living seems to have
extended even to booze circles In
some inctances.

Not Many Boose Permits

Since April cath. under the pro-
visions OF Colorado's new prohibi-
tion law. the county clerk has issued
twenty-one permits to purchase booze
up to Tuesday night-a period OF
fourteen days. This Is an average
OF five permits day. or about l25
per month. Most OF the applications
for the purchase OF liquor originated
in La Junts. the number from out
side the county seat not being over
one-fifth. Under the old law be-
tween 400 and 500 people in Otero
county received shipments OF booze
each month.
Outside OF the county seat you
have to 20 before = notary public
and swear out an application for q
permit to buy booze. and then mail
II TO the county clerk. Not over half
. dozen applications for permits to
purchase booze have been received
by the county clerk BY mail thus far.
There Ii 10 much red tape TO the
new law that II II not going TO prove
very popular. and there are some
men who would not 20 through II all
