Few Surprises. ~
The primary presented few surprises
The league held it's members in line
and voted them solidly, as usual. The
Independents showed equally good
teamwork where they were organized.
Unfortunately for them, they entered
the campaign too late to build up a
machine which could successfully cope
with the Townley organization. The
showing of the Independents, consider.
ing the odds which they faced, is re,
garded as unusually good. Had the
voters association had an opportunity
to do as much work in the country as
1t did through volunteer helpers in the
cities. the result might have been diff
ferent.
The Independent Voters, associa-
tion has not yet conceded Frazier's
nomination. Less than half of the
states 21OO precincts have been heard
from. A majority Of those which have
reported are in Steen territory, and It
is thought that he has demonstrated
his greatest strength, while Frazier's
display of running ability is still to
come Stems lead Of approximately
1900 is not regarded as strong enough
to withstand the onslaughts which will

SOCIALISM AND AUTOCRACY
BOTH MADE IN GERMANY

Undoubtedly the world must fear
the particular brand of socialism
which is made in Germany and
which reaches its flower and fruitage
in the blackguards and criminals now
overrunning Russia. We must fear
1t as we do the military autocracy that
has just fallen. Both are predicated on
the false doctrine that the individual
is made for the state, while the bas-
is of all free people is that the state
exists only to give greater opportun-
ity, greater freedom of attainment to
the individual.
There is a socialism that we all pro-
fess to greater or less extent but it is
the sane working out of united con-
troll of natural monopolies. such as the
public upholds in the postoffice and
perhaps the wires of communications
and means of transportations. The
socialism made in Germany is another
type of autocracy, of tyranny as
merciless, as diabolical, as subversive
to individual initiative and the spirit
of free America as was the Kaiser
and his junkers. That false and evil
doctrine is spreading and it is a dan
gerous menace not only to our land,
but to the world.

THE PRICE WE PAID

New York World:
As the veil is lifted in Europe we
can see how tremendous were the ac-
Movements of the Allied Armies in the
immortal ll9 days from July Is, the
date of the last German drive, to Nov.
II, when Germany admitted defeat.
II valor in battle be the supreme test
of manhood then the losses as the VIC
tories tell that the race has grown.
An English authority estimates our
casualties in the Argonne- Meuse Bat
tie, by far the greatest ever fought
by American Armies under American
command, at 160, 900, eight times those
OF the Germans at Gravelotte, and the
figures now coming in indicate that he
is approximately correct. This gives
US loss of about 20 per cent. At
Gettysburg the losses of the two ar
mics were $4,000, or 30 per cent, but
when the battle there was over, North
and South alike were exhausted. At
the Meuse the Americans were ready
to fight the next hour, but there was
nobody to fight.
When our armies were thrown ac-
ross the path of the Germans after
they had come down from the Aisne
lIt NtSlt Ntit q
spear-head toward Paris, less than
forty miles away, they had more than
1000 casualties out of 5000 engaged,
but they never yielded an inch. At
the Second Marne the 3Sth Regiment
regulars, held off five times its num-
Der, despite enormous losses. In this
battle, one of the most dramatic and
important in the worlds history, we
had, according to Pershing's report,
100000 men, about as many as the
Allied Al mics at Leipzig or at least
so per cent more than all the armies
at Waterloo.
The British casualties at Waterloo
were $500. By this scale they fought
more than a hundred Waterloos in
those blazing four months, and the
French, on innumerable fields, showed
a valor and constancy never surpassed
and probably never equalled by the
race that has burned more gunpowdel
than any other in Europe.

THE RED CROSS MEMBER
SHIP CAMPAIGN

Pueblo Chieftain:-
1t is astonishing, after the expert
ence of the past two years that any
man or woman would refuse to con-
tribute one dollar as the annual
membership fee of the Red Cross.
Yet the solicitors of that organization
report that there are some persons of
apparent intelligence and respecta-
bility even in Pueblo who have refus-
ed to recognize this claim of common
humanity.
In this enlightened age, and fresh
from our war experiences, it would
seem thatthis worldwide organization
which recognizes no distinction of
race, creed, or national boundaries,
whose only purpose is to hasten to the
relief of suffering humanity, and
whose efficiency has been gloriously
demonstrated, both in peace and in
war, ought to receive support in a
membership limited only by the num-
ber of people in the civilized lands.
There may be some exceptional
cases in which the Red Cross member
ship is not duty, but speaking in a
general way, one dollar a year for
the Red Cross is the least that one can
do in recognition of human relation
ship, and It is something that one
ought to do, if he has done nothing
