Awaited Wilson Impatiently.
In his address to President Wilson
President Poincare said:
"Mr. President:
Paris and France awaited you with
impatiencc. They were eager to ac-
claim In you the illustfious democrat
whose words and deeds were inspired
by exalted thought, the philosopher
delighting in the solution OF universal
laws from particular events, the emf
nent statesman who had found a way
to express the highest, political and
moral truths in formulas which bear
the stamp OF immortality.
They had also passionate desire to
offer thanks, in your person. to the
great republic Of which you are the
chief, for the invaluable assistance
which had been given spontaneously
during this war to the defenders OF
right and liberty.
Even before America had resolved
to intervene in the struggle she had
shown to the wounded and the or
phans OF France O solicitude and a
generosity the memory Of which will
always be enshrined In our hearts.
The liberality Of your Rod Cross, the
countless gifts OF your fellow citizens.
the inspiring initiative Of American
women, anticipated your military and
naval action and showed the world to
which side your sympathies inclined.

selves into the battle, with what de-
termination your great people and
yourself prepared for united success!

aid Of France, because France herself
was faithful to her traditions. Our
common ideal has triumphed. Together

Now we must build together such
peace as will forbid the deliberate and
hypocritical renewing OF an organism
aiming at conquest and oppression.
Peace must make amends for the
misery and sadness OF yesterday. and
1t must be a guarantee against the
dangers Of tomorrow. The associa-
ton which has been formed for the
purpose OF war, between the United
States and the Allies, and which con-
tains the seed Of the permanent in
stitutions Of which you have spoken

forward. a clear and profitable en-
ployment in the concerted search for
equitable decisions, and in the mutual
support which we need II We are to

Whatever safeguards we may erect
for tho future no one, alas, can assert
that we shall forever spare to man

A Broom Factory
For Springfield.

Our article last week on the
broom factory has set all Baca
county talking, and from expires
sions that have come to Va, di-
rectly and indirectly there would
be no trouble to sell the maxi
mum number of shares for the
building and equipment of the
factory wanted.
We believe to give good work
ing margin that 25O shares of
500 each should be sold, thus
giving a fund of s25,Oo for the
building and equipment of the
factory and the expenses other
wise necessarily incurred be-
fore returns on the brooms
would provide an income.

is wanted to be known and un-

The arrangements were made.
We would join the town in the
spring and start a newspaper
iu consideration of certain inter-
ests; and this we did in the
March following.
The Founding of Boston
In the midst of a blizzard on
the 26th day of Eovem Der, 1856.
the first tents were pitched in
Boston. and the first lumber ar
rived on the ground. Colorado
style. the snow furry was soon
over. and in a few days a lot of
carpenters and helpers were
busy on q lot of business build
ings grouped about q common
center.
In those days the wells all over
the west were dug, and almost
Immediately upon the landing of
those Boston Pilgrims a well was
started at the intersection of the
two main streets of the town;
but it was along III the spring
before the we'll was completed
sni a windmilli llinstalled.
So rapidly were the building
operations pushed that by the
first of March seventy houses,
mostly business, were built, and
Boston began to take the appear
ance Of a real town.
Boston wasn't quite the first
in the east end-as this part of
Las Animas county was then
called. Butte City was started in
June, 1886; but we believe that
less than halt a dozen houses
were built there when it was
abandoned and the houses NOV
ed over to Minneapolis, started
few miles west OF it in the
summer of 1887.

given an entity.

The plan decided upon was to
charge farmers $500 head to
join the league. the funds thus
raised to be used to elect their
candidates, the said candidates
not Icing allowed to contribute
anything to their own election.
Only farmers were permitted to
join the league, and only league
members were permitted to be
nominated for Office.
The machinery for organizing
the farmers of the state was put
in motion in every county; and
when the time came, candidates
were put up for the state offices
and for both branches of the leg
islature-every mothers son of
them a farmer.
They won the governorship and
other state offices, and the lower
branch of the legislature, and we
believe controlled the upper
branch in most of the legislation
wanted.
Having got a taste OF blood,
the Bolsheyiki leaders then pnt
their heads again together and
decided to 20 out aud conquer
the rest of the world; and to have
a more powerful leverage for or
ganization and campaign purpos-
es, decided to pnt the installment
fee at $1,000 per farmer head.

Mr.. Farmer of Baca county,
you've got the facts as each side
gives them-use your good judg-
ment for the rest. The organic
ers are in the csunty-in every
county of the state. Go after
them along the line of the above
objections, and make them ex.

right ana yt ur privilege.
AS an aside to close, the edit.
or has every confidence in the
farmer-wouldn't be the least
perturbed if every state officer
and every member Of the legisla
ture was a farmer.
And yet-we are inclined to
believe that day laborers, pro-
fessioLal men, business men. anC
their wives. are just az much in
in the welfare of the
people as the farmer is, and
could be equally trusted.
But as already stated. the farm
