High Cost of Democracy

Concrete evidence of the tremendous
waste of money by the administration
during the war continue to come to
view upon the horizon of news each
day. The latest cheerful news, when
the cost of everything is mounting
higher and higher comes with the fact
that the town of Nitro, West Virginia,
the war town built by the war depart
ment at an approximate cost Of $70.-
100000 has been sold for the magnifi-
cent sum of 1851 900! II the town
of Nitro. which includes not only an
expensive plant for the manufacture
of explosives but good sized town be-
sides, had produced a reasonable sup
ply of ammunition during the war, the
great loss in this sale to the govern
ment could be overlooked. But the
truth remains that NOT ONE SHELL
was made in this expensive toy Of the
administration and at the time Of the
armistice, the plant was incomplete.
And the taxpayers stands the loss!

MORE LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATIONS
ARE NEEDED BY STATE

This is the season Of the year when
farmers begin to think of the winter
business operations. Last year about
twenty cooperative live stock ship
ping associations were formed and
these saved the farmers thousands
of dollars. Prospects are now that
a larger number will be formed this
year. These associations have a work
to do in all parts of the state. In one
or two fruit sections they have been
of great benefit to the producers.
There is more live stock to ship in
all sections than some people think
and person is always surprised
when he investigates the railroad re-
ceipts.
Some people think that co-opera-
tive live stock shipping associations
are only for certain sections Of the
state, but this is a mistake. There
should be hundreds Of these associa-
tions in Colorado and there is work
for them in every part Of the state

II Still Holds Good

There used to be an old expletive
among European "hell's
broke loose in the Balkansl" Under
the new order" and the precious
league it was thought this expletive
had become obsolete. 1t appears not
SO. Rumania and Serbia are demand
ing independence of action in their
own affairs, insisting that instead of
helping them to become strong states
the league of nations paves the way
for their disorganization. Rumania
thinks we have no more right to in
terfere with her Jewish problem than
she has to interfere with our negro
problem or with Great Britain's Irish
problem. Those two countries kicked
over the Balkan Confederation. Sup
pose they should kick over the league
of nations.

Congress Eats Cheese on .aonahan

Congress Eats Cheese on !honahan
Washington, Nov. 11.-(Special cor
nce)-Congressman James G.
Monahan of Wisconsin claims that he
has within his district the wealthiest
agricultural county in the United
States per capita. The source Of its
wealth is cheese, over 200 factories
for the manufacture of which are with
in the boundaries of Green County,
itself only twenty miles square. One
of the principal concerns sent Mr.. Mon
ahan sample of Swiss cheese with
the request that it be placed on a
table in the House restaurant where
all members might partake of it. The
Congressman took advantage of the
occasion to extol to his colleagues the
prosperity which pervades his district
and Green County in particular, and
his invitation to taste Of its products
was taken advantage of by most of
those who heard him.

A Wrong Interpretation

Mr.. Gompers says that "the bill to
prohibit strikes on railroads is a meas
ure to reintroduce involuntary servi-
tude." Oh, no it isn't. The bill ex-
pressly provides that it shall not be
construed to prevent any man from
quitting for any cause. The bill sim
ply makes it unlawful to conspire to
tie up the transportation Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Gompers does not dare quote
the section of the bill in full and then
assert that it would establish involun-
tary servitude.

A Paradox

Some of the labor unions wanted the
government employment service con-
tinued, to help find jobs for people,
and now to strike seems very popu-
lar diversion. Is it the plan to have
a government bureau busy finding new
jobs for strikers or new men to take
the places vacated by the strikers?

In his message vetoing the prohi-

son said that where the purposes Of
particular Legislation arising out of
war emergency have been satisfied,
sound public policy makes clear the
reason and necessity for repeal"
Which is a good argument for repeal

the executive departments. But Mr..
Wilson has not asked Congress for re-
peal of much war Legislation giving
