interest to justify you in publishing it as an

The war is over and we contend,
in our view of our governments OBJ

ceased begging space of the newspa-

ceived two such announcements, an
original one in which the commission
made an error, and then a second one
in which we were asked to correct their
error.
When the newspaper itself needs
help it advertises for it, often in other
papers at the regular rates We would
like to see every country weekly take
up the matter of impressing upon the
government that something has got
to come out Of Washington besides
begging letters.

ONE VARIETY OF POLITICS
IN THE STATE OF COLORADO

About the silliest thing in state pol
itics is the effort being made in some
quarters to have the people give an
Endorsement of the acting crowd of
officials and thereby do away with
an election. And, strange to say, there
are a few scattering newspapers that
fall for the dope-papers that still
permit mediocre and nervy politicians
to influence them and pull the wool
over their eyes.
Why not the usual election? Why
this desire to upset the usual order
of things? Is it because there are no
others who could possibly fill the Of
fices so well? Or is it because there
is danger of interfering with the war
activity?
OF course, there is no good reason
at all. 1t is only a brazen trick that
handful of politicians are attempting
to put over; but it won't work The
men will discover that they must
make the usual scrap to remain in
