Our Bank Savings Safe
Unless Germany Wins

There seems to have been a very
insidious propaganda carried on,
obviously by secret agents of
Germany, to the effect that saw
ings banks deposits are to be con-
fisca ted It is difficult to believe
that any person in America would
credit such a report for an instant.
Secretary McAdoo says that the
absurdity of these statements is
manifest, but in order to allay the
fears of few who might be alarm
ed by such reports, he repeats
officially that these rumors are
wholly baseless.
There is but one thing that will
in the least put in danger of con-
6scation the savings of the Ameri-
can people, whether deposited in
savings banks or other banks
or invested in Liberty Bonds OF
any other investments, ana that
one thing is a German victory. 1t
is not the American Government
that our people should fear, but
the German Government, and
with the American soldiers fight.
ing as they are in France, and the
American people, supporting their
Government as they are in Amer
lea, the American people, their
liberty, their rights, and their
savings are safe.
The United States instead OF
con6scating or endangering the
savings and other property of its
people is defending them and
theirs with all the irresistible might
of this invincible Republic.

BILE for a candidate from a small
mountain county to win in a
primary election against candi-
date from populous valley county.
In Clear Creek county the great
est interest was attached to the
democratic nomination of sheriff,
commissioner and treasurer cam
didates. Albert E. Straub, who
aspires to fourth term as sheriff,
something unheard of in the an
mails of Clear Greek politics, won
out easily over his three opponents,
getting an even larger vote than
on previous occasions. 1t is
charged that his republican friends
voted for him in the democratic
primary The question now
arises "Will the republicans join
with his democratic friends and
elect him in November, or will
the democrats who oppose fourth
term join with the republicans
and elect Harry Hanson?'
William Ives was nominated fol
commissioner over Miller, Waldo
and Underhill, the three latter
dividing the vote in such way
that Ives had the advantage. The
Siftings still predicts that Mayor
Moscript will be elected commits
sioner in November.
For county treasurer Patricl
Devany won out over james D
Milliren, and it will now be up te
Devany to campaign agains1
David Kennedy, the republican
nominee. Devany secured the

Ida Mary Paul Berthiaume was

jectives. namely, the organization.
after the utter humiliation of Ger

nations to maintain, by rational
methods and, if need be, by force

To this object France and
America are already officially CON-
mitted. In Great Britain the
House of Lords, leading statesmen,
and others, have expressed thier
approval.
In order to attain this great con
structive end the Allies must re-

her people are made to know that

REPUBLICAN, VICTORY SURE
IN NOVEMBER ELECTION
Strong State and County Ticket Named, and Al
Indications Point to Republican Success

As was confidently predicted by
the Siftings. Lawrence G. Phipps
received the Republican nom-
ination for United States senator
by a decisive majority, and there
is every indication that he will de-
feat John F. Shafroth in November.
1t is Colorado's opportunity to
send a really capable man to the
senate.
Oliver H. Shoup, the Colorado
Springs big business man, won
the nomination for governor over
Charles Ballreich, the Pueblo
lawyer, by a large majority in
Denver, Colorado Springs and al
most every county in the state.
, Pueblo county went for their
home man but cast very light
Republican vote.
Harry MuInix, the expert ac-
countant and figure wizard, won the
nomination for state treasurer
from Erastus Harper by big
lead. Mulnix will easily defeat
Leckenby in November.
Arthur Stong OF Alamosa county
defeated our home man, Ben Cat
rem, for republican nomination for
state auditor.
About the only surprise of the
state candidates was the big vote
for lyman for governor on the
democratic ticket. lyman, the
penitentiary warden. defeated Gov
ernor Gunter, former supreme
court judge, in Denver and thru
out the state. Gunter's defeat is
attributed to his rather Indifferent
or negligent attitude toward the
soldier boys who first assembled
in Denver only to find that no
provision had been made for their
care and keep before being sent to
the various cantonments. The
women of Denver collected money,
food and clothing for the SOL
dier boys from the business men
and liberal citizens, and Governor
Gunter was unable to overcome
the indignation that was aroused.
Then, too, the advance in tele-
phone rates and the coming ad-
vance in street-car fares was
charged against the governor.
In the nomination of Tom Ty-
nan, victory is plainly visible for
Oliver 81. Shoup for governor, and
with him perhaps the entire re.
publican state ticket.
In the Third congressional dis
trict, of which Clear Greek county
is a part, Edward Heating, the
present incumbent, was nominated
for congress over John A. Martin,
who had put up vigorous CAM
saign against Keating's rotten"
war record. Guy U. Hardy of
Canon City, the republican cand-
idate, is a clean and capable man
in every way-a thoro and depend
able American-and altho this
district is normally strongly dem
ocratic, even conservative demo-
Gratis concede that Mr.. Hardy's
chances for election are exceed
ingly bright. Republicans and
loyal American democrats alike |
can unite in sending Guy Hardy |
to congress and have the big Third
district capably represented.
William G.. Smith of jefferson
county defeated Royal R. Graham |
of Clear Greek and Roy Blackman
of Arapahoe for the republican
nomination for district judge. !
The big republican vote of JEFF
ferson county turned the trick for
Judge Smith.

Public 10 Meet
on School Problems

meeting OF our people IN the
school building for the purpose of
discussing general school prob
lens. Our Board of Education
has requested DR.. Frank l.. Clapp,
of the State University at Boulder,
and Supt. Chas. E. Greene to make
survey of the local schools
DR.. Clapp and Mr.. Greene are
busily at work this week and will
not finish before the close of next
week. They are being assisted in
the work by all of the teachers
and by Mrs. Jaynes, secretary of
the Board
The Board and Supt. Greene
wish it understood that no radical
changes are contemplated in the
schools. They simply realize that
the problems of our schools are
numerous and complex and that
many opportunities for securing
the very best possible results are
liable to be overlooked unless the
situation is given careful and com
prehensive study at least OCCASION
ally. The purpose of the survey
is to find, if possible, those points
in the work which may be given a
little more attention in order that
the results may be the best pos
sible.
Among the phases of the situa-
ton that will be given attention
are the physical plant and its
equipment, the organization and
administration of the schools, the
finances of the district, etc. Where
possible, comparisons will be made
with standards that are generally
accepted and with similar schools
within the state. This week at
tention is being given to the
ability of pupils in certain fun
damental subjects such as reading,
spelling, arithmetic, writing, etc.
Standard tests are being used.
These tests have been used in
large number of schools and STAN
dards for each grade determined.
This work will reveal how pupils
compare with pupils in general
and will also help to indicate those
points in their work that need
special attention.
Those in charge of our schools
trust that our people will be in
terested in the survey and in the
recommendations that will accom-
pany it and that everybody will do
what they can to make our schools
as efficient as they can possibly
be made.
Detailed announcement Of the
meeting for next Friday evening
will be made later.
Mayor Moscript is the originator
of the idea of the school picnic.
Nothing could be done that will
reflect more creditably upon the
vital interest of busy business
men in the children of Idaho
Springs. The response of the
citizens in furnishing prizes for
the contests and automobiles to
carry the children was practically
unanimous. The children will
always remember with gratitude
the men who are making these
contributions.
Everybody in Idaho Springs
who is interested in our schools
is cordially invited to attend the
public meeting to be held in the
high school auditorium Friday
night, Sept. 20, at 8 O'Clock. DR..
Frank L. Clapp, professor Of school
administration, the University of
Colorado, who is making the
school survey, will be the principal
sneaker. Refreshments will be
served. Keep the date open,
Sept. 20.

Arao Buys High Grade
Ores as Usual

Thru a misstatement in the
Gazette last week an injustice was
inflicted on the Argo Reduction
and Ore Purchasing company.
The paper stated the Argo "did
not care to handle high grade ore
to any extent. This is entirely
wrong, as the Argo people buy
ores of all grades, and it has been
their competition in the ore-buy-
ing field that has operated to the
benefit of the mining industry in
Clear Greek and Gilpin counties.
