sHouP FOR GOVERNOR

Although the Denver Post has mill
lions at stake and is spending a hun
dred thousand dollars to secure Ty-
mans election, the only thing their
army of hired detectives can find
against the character of Oliver II.
Shoup is that he is substantial busi-
ness man and has never before run
for office That makes a pretty clean
record. 1t is true that Mr.. Shoup, who
earned his way through school as a
newsboy, has made such a success in
life that he has built up several large
Industries in the state that pay good
wages to hundreds of men. He has
been an actual builder-not a hot air
builder like lyman. He has three sons
and one daughter in the family; and
just three sons and one son-in-law en-
listed in the army. He has been one
of the states largest contributors to
the Red Cross and other army activi-
ties, and heavy purchaser of Liberty
Bonds. If 100 per cent Americanism
is what you want it will be hard to
beat such a record as Oliver II. Shoup
has made. Combined with his patriot
ism and fair dealing he has the ability
and business sense so badly needed
just now in the management of Colo
radios state government. A vote for
him is a vote for decency and Il big
blow to the Tam-Bon annex of the
Hearst Hun scheme to control as many
state governments at the coming elec-
tion as possible.

Robert X. Ross.

Judge Robert X. Ross of Trinidad
needs no introduction to the voters of
this section. He Was for several years
district attorney Of this judicial dis
trict, and made a splendid record as
such. He has always been popular
with the voters of this part Of the
district. As county judge of Las Ami
mas county he has made a reputation
as a fair and able judge and his cleo
tion will insure the voters a safe pre-
siding officer on the bench for the
next term.

Hon. Allyn Cole.

No new man serving his first term
in the Legislature and also in public
office ever has taken a more promin-
.ent or creditable part in the councils
of his state than did Hon. Allyn Cole
in the sessions of the legislature the
past two years. During most of that
time he acted as the republican floor
leader and was largely responsible for
the able and patriotic manner in which
the republican minority saved the
democratic state administration from
disruption and anarchy in the months
just following the entry Of our country
into the great war. The majority of
the democratic members were deter
mined to overthrow Governor Gunter
whatever else might result and to Mr..
Coles able management is much of
the credit of their failure due. He has
earned a reelection and will if elect
ed probably be the next speaker of the
house and in position to do much good
for this section.

With the drafted men who left Mon
day morning from Lamar for Fort
Macarthur, California, was Roswell
H. Cochran, editor for several years of
Mealology, the bright and snappy lit
tie magazine published by the Denver
Alfalfa Milling & Products Co. Mr..
Cochran was also for the past eight
months editor of the Bringing the
War Home" department of the county
papers, and as such was most able
and interesting addition to the staff
of all the editors. On the declaration
of war he Immediately put in his ap-
plication to enlist in the army and
after numerous failures to pass the
physical examinations, persisted with
patriotic earnestness until finally he
got by and is on his way to camp. In
the intervening months he was devot-
ing much of his time and energy in
assisting in all the various war drives
and he will be greatly missed in all
these activities in Lamar hereafter
Mealology, which has made a distinct
i've hit in the line of trade magazine,
will be temporarily suspended and may
not be revived until his return from
the service of his country.

Senator John S. Hasty.

During the past term in the senate
there has been no figure more prom
inent or more consistently right on
the many prominent issues coming be-
fore the state Legislature than Senator
John S. Hasty. Always on the alert
to look after the interests of the Ar
kansas valley he has been a valuable
official for his people and also for
neighboring districts not so efficiently
represented. Doc probably takes as
many hard knocks as any official in
the state, but always comes back
smiling and is ready for the next
round. We believe that the voters of
the district appreciate the record of
efficient public service he has made
and will once more return him win

"Pack dried fruits and other food
products in small tin or wooden boxes.
"Give preference to hard candy over

20 pounds in weight and must measure
not to exceed two cubic feet in volume.
They should be packed in substantial
boxes, with hinged or screw-top cover
to facilitate opening and inspecting.
The text of the Navy regulations
follow:
"All mail matter should be address,
ed as now prescribed by the postal

next year means that he is going to
require 100000 more junior officers,
an din order to get them is going to
utilize the half billion dollar plant OF
more than 300 colleges and universe

When it was determined to extend
the draft age limits from Is to As, it
looked as if all college activities OF
the country would be paralyzed.
But that is where the war depart
ment came in with its plans for the
Student Army Training Corps. Young
men who have been going to the 300
colleges on the governments list will
come back to school this fall as usual,
to be given an intensive training to
fit them for army life. Army officers
will supplement the regular, faculty.
Young men who are 20 will be CIV

those of 10 will be trained until about
April I. and those of Is will be trained
until about July l. The idea is to pre-
pare reservoir of officer material

central officers training camp.

GOOD FOR GEORGE PLAZA.

Some discussion is going on especially at Bis
marck regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of changing the
German name Bismarck to something American.
We all remember how silly it appeared to us when
st. Petersburg was changed to Petrograd.
Changing the name will only emphasize in years
to come the smaness of people. For years the
school children of the country have learned the
capital of the state. Men all the nation know
the name of this capital. To learn it over again
will cause kids to stand 80 in examinations that
might otherwise stand 100 Its idle time, losing
energy and silly to change name that has stood
so long as Bismarck has.
We know what Bismarck means to us; it means
our state capital it means beautiful and growing
city; it's name does not effect our loyalty or sig
nifty less Of patriotism. Bismarck and the state OF
North Dakota are too big and too enlightened to be
concerned about the origin of name that has sat-
isfied them for years. There is no merit in being
an impusive people, little spiteful shallow think
ing people. Let us be bigger than moment of
the time in which we live. Russia showed her
fckleness in changing the name of her capital and
she has shown it again by being gutter If the
name of Bismarck must be changed, let us wait
till after the war, let us have little mature
and calmer judgment. The advocates of the
change can hardly insist that it is military adj
vantage or necessity to change it now, but it will
hinder and cause extra work and extra expense

FULL STRENGTH

Congress will enact the 18-45 man power bill.
This is making it clear to Germany that we're in
the war to the last drop of fighting blood in the
last fighting man. It is putting our full strength
of manhood into the conflict.
Congress should enact war revenue bill which
will collect money from those who have most to
pay. Less than 80 per cent of war profits is not
enough and is not fair to other Americans who
now carry too heavy load Of high prices. In
other words, Congress owes duty to the people
of the United States to conscript money power
as we'll as man power Both are needed. Without
either the war cannot be won.
The full strength of American man power plus
our full strength Of money power spells victory
over there. And our full strength Of money
power cannot be modified until Congress drafts
the profiteer's dollars.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Some of the ennently practical business men
in the Council of National Defense are in grave
langer of becoming so eminently practical that it
hurts Anyhow, their suggestion that Christmas
giving this year be confined to letters and post
cards is needlessy cold-blooded and helpless.
The people have earnestly responded to all the
many demands made upon them to so change their
habits of life to help win the war. Uncomplan-
ingly they have done their bit and gone coalless
meatless wheatless and sugarless in order to help
win the war.
J; There has been little real sacrifice in the food
)saving part Of the program, to be sure, and the
nations health is doubtless better for this war
curb on overheating. But the spirit was good just
the same, and indicated that the people will as
cheerfully make real sacrifice when necessary.
But there is no real need of putting the national
soul in cold storage just because are making
heroic sacrifices for our war aims. We won't help
by pulling long faces, taking the smile out Of life
and settling down into depressing war gloom.
Nothing worth while is lost by giving the little
ones all the Christmas joy we can provide-and
the big ones well.
Those who have older boys over there are in
softened mood that will thaw their parental hearts
toward the younger ones who still bless the fam
lily circle.
We older ones are thinking nowadays. We are
feeling, too The sacrifices we must make in our
own families bring us closer to others who are
making the same sacrifices. There is growing
kinship between fathers and mothers where lives
never touched before.
We are in kindier mood, and would save for
humanity all of the kindness and gentleness and
happiness may.
Life need not be all tears even in war time. If
we let tender smiles shine through the tears
there is no less of sympathy for and appreciation
of sacrifice.
So away with an over-efficent efficiency, that
would hide away the Christmas spirit until the
war is over. Let Christmas come, and with it
all the old-fashioned tender generous, loving
Christmas spirit we can muster.
Leave the people alone with their Christmas,
and they'll start the year all the better fitted
in morale to go on with the war that may end all
wars and push along toward the happy day when
the Christmas spirit will last the whole year
through. r,a
