FOUR PARTIES OR TWO
New York World

When he comes face to face with n
new thought or new issue, Senator
Reed, democrat, of Missouri. usually
has As many awful misgivings, as Sen
ators Penrose, Knox and Lodge, all
Republicans. The mere suggestion as
n League of Nations devoted to peace
and justice. fills him, like them, with
alarm, and so on the greatest modern
problems he resembles them also in
everything but the label.
No doubt there are other Democrat
ic senator's who sympathize with Mr..
Reed in his terror of change and pro-
gress, and we know that many Repub-
lican senators are not in harmony with
the members of the Old Guard whom
we have named. 1t is evident, there
fore, that there are two Democratic
parties, the quarreling brethren in
each political household hating each
other with a bitterness which used to
De shown only to the common foe.
We are going to have some strange
alliances in this country when the
measures for peace and reconstruction
come up for consideration. Democrats
as well as republicans have their lead
ers of little faith who cling desperate
ly to everything savoring of the past
Or promising TO keep things as they
are. Of right, these men belong to
enc party, and if popular intelligence
san be brought to bear upon them they
will presently be compelled to accept
such realignment. By that process
progressive Democrats and rrogres-
sive Republicans would naturally be
bed into a more than casual unity.
A disquieting result of the war in
most countries is party chaos. We
have no excuse for it under our sys-
tem and can easily avoid it in future
If the people give heed to principles
rather than party names and banners.
The South calls itself solidly Demo-
cratic, yet it is in fact largely Repub-
hcan and autocratic. The West calls
itself Republican, but in truth it is
more Democratic than the South. In
the presence of new problems, the
East has not found itself as yet, but
We do not believe that it is to be either
Bourbonic or Rolsheviki.
Our nt-hearted Democratic Tories
ought in some manner to be driven in
% the ranks of the standpatters whom
Aey serve. Our forward-looking Re
.Dublicans ought to find an agreeable

New Champion started the new
year on volume forty, but one of these
must have been a little short to ac-
count for the fact that the Gunnison
News was established in May 1880.
The old Review Press began about the
same time and was later merged into
the Tribune and then into the News
Champion.
There is value in the old established
name and business. Certain trada-
tions grow about a paper, especially
when it has been run under one man
agcment as long as the News Cham
pion. Nearly eighteen years now,
with hut three years break in the
editorial handling. These have been
successful years, associated with very
pleasant memories eli business and
social friends. We certainly appreci-
ate the good will and splendid patron
age, and shall do our utmost to merit
them in future.

of negro who carried gun TO kill a white
citizen of this county, and was constantly
armed for this purpose at the time of his
death. That he had beat nhis wife terribly
before they went to bed, and threatened her
as soon as he got up and she got up at night
