CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR ILL
MAY NOT VISIT US

The following from the Delta Trib-
une of last week, indicates that Con-
gressman Edward T. Taylor may be
too sick to keep his promise to visit
Gunnison during this campaign.
Congressman Taylor came in on
Wednesday mornings train and had
luncheon here at New Perkins with
a bunch of leading Democrats. He
intended to visit Olathe and Montrose
Thursday, and go on up the line, but
took a severe sore throat and was
advised to go to bed by physician

From the Oak Creek Herald:
When the war Is over the politician

That has been the history of recon-

where popular government existed.
Two years hence, whether or not the
war is over, there will be enough re-
turned heroes in the United States to
consume the political pie, and for
fifty years hence the same condition
will obtain. The human heart is so
constituted that it delights to honor
those who have risked their lives for
the common good In those days it
shall come to pass that the men who
profiteered at home during the war

lliff Independent: A million dollars
against a million people is a true ana
adequate description of the cam
paign in Colorado this year. The mil
lion dollars will be furnished by steel
trust, oil trust, ct al, IN order to
elect Shoup and Phipps, the Gold Dust
Twins. Will it work? It's up to you,
vsters, to give the answer.
The taxpayers of Colorado are not
paying a penny of the S2,500,0O0 state
war bond issue authorized by the leg
islature in special session year ago.
The reason is that James R. holland,
secretary of state, evolved a plan for
making the corporations pay it all.
State Treasurer Higgins recently re-
tired 1925 900 of these bonds and paid
the interest on those outstanding, all
with money collected by Jimmy No
land as secretary of state. holland will
be reelected by very big majority,

ONE HUNDRED SWEATERS

DOUGLAS, March 5-Between the first of October and the first of March an even 100 sweaters were completed by the ladies of the Doug las-Treadwell Red Cross chapter and during the same period the ladies supplied other garments and sup plies up to the quotas requested of them by the requisitioners in charge. This means an average of 20 sweat CTS every month but at that it is doubtful if it means one for every man who has left the Island for en- listment during the period covered. While the exact number of those who have left Douglas Island to enter the ranks of the American Army since the declaration of war by America is not known, it is believed the num- Der is considerably in excess of one hundred.

Last night the Air dale was restless. Whether it wa due to something on his mind ol stomach is not known. At any rate he spied the hat and the birds. This the former was scattered over the room in strips and strings and the birds had been segregated until no two feathers were left to gether. Hence the wrath. The dog already has a new home, but the dove of peace is still wandering sc far as that particular home is con cerned.
