The Primary Election

The primary cleo IN this year Is
OF more than usual Importance this
year to people OF this part OF Weld
county. II was never 30 vital to our
Interests to get out a big vote as this
year at the primary.
The vote for e. c. Abbey will be
taken as indicative OF the position
OF the voters on the matter OF coun-
ty division. II is hardly possible
that he could be defeated In the prl-
mary election. but there is the dan
ger. People are apt to take 1t for
granted that the high vote given Mr..
Abbey In the assembly means certain
victory at the primary election and
neglect to go to the polls. 1t will
not do. The opposition to county
division can conceal their opposition
by working for any or all OF the 9th
err candidates so to cut Abbey's vote
to anywhere near the danger point,
they will claim after election that
It indicates the weakness Of the d.
vision sentiment in the county II
the vote in this section is light, 1t
will be pointed to as evidence that
the movement has lost in favor on
this side OF the county.
Mr.. Abbey is regarded as the can
didate. OF the county division forces.
A big vote for him will influence all
other legislative candidates on all
tickets to favor the divisionis.s, a
defeat for Abbey, or a bare victory
for him at the primary election will
cause all other legislative candidates
to look upon the proposal with doubt
and possible disfavor. The best way
to serve county division at the pri-
mary election Is to 60 to the polls
and cast a vote for Il. G. Abbey. In
no other place at that elections can
you give 80 effective voice to your
wish for new county.

II We know anything about 1t
the platform OF the Non-partisan
League was State socialism. Wheth-
er 1t Is still the same thing may be
open to question since thsy choose
to go under the democrat name In
Colorado. Either the Non-psrtisans
must surrender part Of the former
platform or the democrats must be-
come socialists. We are curious to
know which Is true.

II seems to us that 1t takes good
deal Of nerve for the democrats to
appeal TO women voters on the
ground that the ladies are indebted
to that party for the ballot; and only
a trifle less for the Republicans to
work he same stunt. The fact Is
both parties were mighty slow about
1t until II was sure to come and then
both tried to beat the other to It..
The ladies will find better reasons
than that for their political action or
We miss our guess.

The primary law Is coming in for
Its share OF criticism because OF the
fact that In the primary you can
not split your ballot between the
parties. In the primary election
there Is no way to act with more than
one political party. You can take
any party you want, but you can't
take two. There Is no such thing
as political polygamy in the primary
election.

WANT SIX HOURS WORK

Misunderstanding the miners
demand for a six-hour work day,
Acting President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers, declared that if these
workers are given a six-hour work
day they can annually produce $780,
600 900 tons of coal.
"What the miners want" said the
trade unionist, "is to get away from
the present system under which they
may find 48-hours employment one
week and none the next.
"The average number of days work
ed per year in the central competi-
tive field (western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois) since 1913
was 2O6h days to keep his family
for 365 days.
Fabulous wages for coal miners
exist only in the minds of those who
are opposed to granting better con-
ditions to the miners"

Demonstration at Gas Office

Every family in Newark is inter-
ested in the gas question, especially
when the pressure is low as has been
the case during the recent cold
weather, and the profanity has been
difficult to repress, even by church
members, when endeavoring to cook
on some ranges that wouldn't even
boil water. A device is being shown
at the gas office which eliminates
this trouble and renders cooking a
pleasure even at half an ounce pres
sure, and which can be attached to
the ordinary range at small expense
A heating stove is also shown which
does the work at so low a pressure
that the ordinary heater would not
even light. Every gas consumer
should call and investigate these two
modern inventions.

AT LAST!

1t seems that at the headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
they have finally come to realize that
Congress is slightly overriding things
in its jealous endeavor to pass re-
strictive legislation-laws "J4hch are
by no means directed solely against
the radical element, but which, upon
close examination, are found to be
aimed principally at the trade unions.
1t has taken long time for the work
ers to recognize this fact, and par
ticularly for the labor leaders at the
head of the movement to see the
danger that threatens the unions If
nothing is done to check the nefarious
work that certain interests are try
ing to push through Congress.
President Gompers has finally taken
the step he should have taken long
ago, and entered an energetic protest
in the name of the organized workers
against this one-sided and hostile at
titude of Congress towards the work
ers. He calls the attention of the
authorities and lawmakers to the fact
that many of these laws seriously
impair the activities of the unions
and that they strongly protest
against them. Whether this protest
and warning will have any effect or
whether it has perhaps been issued
too late, remains to be seen. In case
our law manufacturers at Washing
ton should really come to their senses
and not enact any further oppressive
laws and perhaps even repeal some
of those already enacted (Which is
hardly to be expected), then that
change of attitude would likely be
due less to the protest and warning
of President Gompers than to the
efforts of far-seeing and well-mean-
ing persons who might be able to
bring such a change about, and also
to the fact that in certain industrial
centers there is even at present a
scarcity Of workers and that the
prospects are that in the near future
many foreign workers will return to
their old home because they are tired
of restrictions and annoyances to
which they are being subjected.
Capital and employers who are
principally responsible for these
wretched conditions-for the enact
ment Of laws that are a parody on
liberty-must themselves finally come
to a realization of the fact that they
are going too far in Washington, and
that no European workers will come
to America under such conditions.

Merchants, like all others, must be

ant advertises in every paper but
that patronized by the toilers, it
it would seemingly indicate that he

Along this line, it is a foregone con-
clusion that those merchants who do

Gas Explosion Caused by Carelessness

Gas Explosion Caused by Carelessness
An explosion of natural gas, the
result of almost criminal careless
ness, which fortunately did not re-
suit fatally, occurred Tuesday morn
ing at the home of Samuel Minke-
witz, retired B. & o. engineer, 259
Eastern avenue. For some days the
smell of escaping gas had been
noticed, but with the exception of
endeavoring to notify the gas COM
pany over dead telephone, no effort
was made to discover the trouble.
Tuesday morning, at about six o'clock,
Mr.. Minkewitz endeavored to light
the kitchen range and terrific ex-
plosion Immediately followed which
wrecked the room and broke most
of the windows in the house. Minke-
witz was blown across the room and
badly burned about the face and
hands. DR.. Stone dressed the in
juries, and the patient, who is nearly
80 years of age, is on a fair way to
recovery. The east end fire depart
ment responded to an alarm, but as
no fire followed the explosion their
services were not required.

NATIONS LEAGUE
(Bv John Bush.l

(By John BuSh.)
"'Tis our true policy to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any por-
ton of the foreign world. d."-George
Washington.
"Time is ever silently turning over
his pages; we are too much engrossed
by the story of the present to think
of the characters and anecdotes that
gave interest to the past; and each
age is volume thrown aside to be
speedily forgotten. The idol today
pushes the hero of yesterday out of
our recollection; and will in turn, be
supplanted by his successor of to-
morrow.
"Thus man passes away; his name
perishes from record and recollection;
his history is as tale that is told,
and his very monument becomes a
ruin"
How impressive are these lines by
Washington Irving, and how vividly
does their truth and logic loom, when
we hesitate for moment in this
time of perplexing problems and un-
settled thought to compare facts with
the theoretical design of the league
of nations.
Through the and untiring efforts
of some of our genuine American
statesmen the ratification of this illu-
sive and famous document has been
held in allegiance for the present, but
those who are familiar with financial
and political affairs are conscious of
the fact that sooner or later the
United States will be lured into the
snare.
In 1923 Mr.. Canning, who was a
member of the English cabinet, pro-
posed to Mr.. Rush, the American
minister in London, that the United
States should cooperate with Eng
land in preventing the Holy Alliance
from interfering with the Spanish
American Republic. President Mon
roe consulted jefferson on this point,
and Jefferson replied: "Our first and
fundamental maxim should be never
to entangle ourselves in the brolls OF
Europe. Our second never to suffer
Europe to intermeddle with cis-
atlantic affairs"
This particle of history is q dis
closure of Great Britain's design, and
also the wisdom and foresight of that
renowned American. England, since
Cornwallis surrendered to George
Washington, has never given up the
hope of regaining what she lost and
making the United States colony of
the British Empire. Washington and
jefferson were always aware of this
fact. they knew what the result would
be and forewarned the people.
Now the precaution of these two
Americans, whose courage and wis
dom gave US our freedom and liberty,
has been cast aside and we are en-
tangled in the broils of Europe and
there is no escape but to sign the
treaty. If the Senate should fail to
ratify the treaty of Versailles our
nation may be isolated from other
countries of the world which at some
time might be pitted against us.
Such isolation and possibilities would
make necessary the creation and
maintenance of a large standing
army and a greater and more effect
i've navy in order in some degree to
protect the republic of the United
States from aggression by those coun-
tries with which we were allied in
the great war. Past and present
history makes this fact obvious, and
the thoughts of Washington Irving
are fitting to the conditions.
