ARKANSAS VALLEY FAIR
Has Relegated Racing Game to Scrap
Heap-Real Cowboy Talent at
Wild West Carnival

When Frederick Noble, w. j. Brown
and Horace Dye visited Cheyenne las
week they were empowered by the
directors of the Arkansas Valley fair
to engage what they considered tha
best of the real cowboy talent for the
big wild west carnival that will b.
staged here in connection with tha
fair, and that they attended well t.
their duties is evidenced by the fac,
that the fair association has contract
signed by some of the best artists tina.
ever mounted pony or roped a steer.
and all doubt as to the magnitude o.
the program that will be presented
vanished Monday when the attraction
committee in a four-hour session map
ped out line Of wild west sports tina
will equal the best ever seen in an
part of the west, and offered purse
for several of the events that is sue
to attract the attention of the bes
riders in the country.
With the passing of the harnes
racing game, some of the best Of
which was to be seen on the traci
here, it was decided to supplant tha'
attraction with a wild west carnival
but the members of the committee
have been in the attraction game toe
long not to know that if this featur,
was to be made permanent that thcrt
could be no halfway about it and witt
this end in view they are after tn,
very best in all lines and no effor
is being spared to give the patron.

SnArRoTH FIRST, ANY OLD
THING NEXT!
interests of Country, State and Party
Subordinate to Reelection of
"Honestjohn" With Office
holders

The call for support from the dem
ocrauc president and democratic gov
ernor counts for nothing with the
democratic ofliceholders of Colorado
who wish to reelect "honestjohn'
Shafroth to the senate. Shafroth
never was loyal to any country, party
or Individual except John Shafroth.
He never supported anything, how
ever meretorious, if he could not see
some personal gain to himsh in it;
and he never baked at anything, how
ever Infamous, if he could see any pos
sible gain for Shafroth in it. As
governor he saddled the state with
indebtedness and iniquitous laws that
will be a burden for years to come,
just to build up a machine to carry
on his fight for the senatorship. Since
landing in the senate he has been so
busy getting offices for men who will
agree to devote their entire attention
to Shafroth's reelection that he has
had no time to do anything for Colo
RADIO.
When a democratic governor in
1914 was faced with civil war in the
state and called on the legislature t.
assist him, the Shafroth forces re-
sponded by knitting him in the back,
even going so far as to try to i'm
peach him. In the session just closed
the Shafroth forces gave another dem
onstration of their patriotism" An
other democratic governor was facing
a great crisis and called on his leg
islature for help. Everybody else was
forgetting partisanship and working
for the upholding of the government.
Not so Shafroth's henchmen. They
the democratic caucus
against the governor rs they did in
1914, and again as in that year the
governor appealed to the republican
caucus and through their patriotic
support was enabled to get through
the legislation necessary to keep up the
state finances and maintain order and
law. 1t is time to relegatc Shafroth
to the background and bring forward
someone who puts Colorado in tho
first place instead of himself

lie acknowledgement of the debt he
owed the republican members, and
admitted that it was only through
their patriotic laying aside of all
thoughts of political advantage and
working for the good of the state
that he was able to get needed lagis-
lation. The constabulary bill intend
ed to enable him to maintain peace
wherever the local authorities are un-
able to maintain the law was bitterly
fought by the majority of the demo-
cratic members.

Gen. Pershing Takes First Step
to Check Soldiers Booze Supply

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Friday Dec. 2S.-tBy The
! Associated Press. General Pershing
| in an interview with correspondents
today said the question of prohibiting
| the sale of all intoxicating liquors to
American troops, which he favors, is
! being discussed with the French gov
eminent He explained his recent
order prohibiting the sale of all in
toxicants except light wine and beer
and the conditions prevailing in
France, which caused it to be drawn
as it was.
'The question Of prohibiting the
sale of all intoxicants to American
troops is under discussion with the
French government" said General
Pershing, "but, of course, there are
difficulties here in France that do not
exist in the United States. The gen
eral order issued Dec. Is was a long
step toward the prevention of drink
ing among our men.
1T was not by any means intended
to convey an injunction to the Amer
lean troops to drink light wine and
beer, but quite the reverse. 1t was
drawn TO conform to French regula-
lions on the subject
Prohibits Gifts"
ut stated only that light wine and
beer only would be permitted and pro-
hibited the purchase of and acceptance
of gifts of whiskey, brandy, cham
payne or similar beverages. 1t order
ed that all drinking places, where
such articles are sold. be forbidden
American soldiers. 1t is same regula-
ton made in France by the British
army and by the French.
Although l am heartily in favor Of
prohibition for the American eXpedit-
ionary force. the situation in France
and the United States is not the same.
Comparatively few French people
drink water as we do; they drink wine
instead. This is partly because the
French water supply is not as pure as
ours. French wine is light and much
less intoxicating than is generally sup
posed. An intoxicated Frenchman is
a rare sight indeed French beer also
is by no means strong. The French
government issues to it's soldiers
regular wine ration. Obviously there
are obstacles to forbidding wine shops
in the zone of the army to do business

at all, which PRACTICAL is what the
French would have to do. Local senti-
ment will play large part in the de-
termination of the question.
1.-THE same order which forbade sol
diers taking strong drink contained
the most rigid regulations to prevent
the spread of the social evil. The
questions are connected closely. Thus
far the record of the army in both re-
spects has been most excellent. 1t is
highly gratifying to me and is testi-
monial to the high character of the
American soldier. Everything poss-
IDLE is being done to protect his morals
and his health and honor to himself
