Lynchburg. Va. May with the
majority of the delegates to the
state Democratic convention to be
held at Roanoke, May 19, already
elected, uncertainty still exists as
to whether the convention will send
an instructed or uninstructed dele
cation to the national convention at
San Francisco in June. Some of the
county conventions have instructed
their delegates for Senator Carter
Glass and others have merely en-
dorsed him as their choice. but the
majority. probably, have contented
themselves with endorsing both
Senators Glass and Swanson, with
out reference to the Presidency.
Loudoun County has endorsed Gov
ernor Davis as it's choice. but is
expected to vote for instructing for
Glass IL resolution to that effect
is presented.
Those advocating no instructions
pl ofess an entire absence of hos
tility to the junior Senator. but say
that the delegation would have more
influence IL uncommitted to any
man, even a favorite son candidate.
Should Glass. by any chance, be put
in the running. they say, Virginia s
support would be assured. instruc-

second appearance of the campaign

He pitched into the Eighteenth

He denounced this sort of legis-

PASEO PLACE
Building Boom Under Way That Means
Many New Fine Residences
for Lamar.

The house just completed by the
company in Paseo Place has been sold
to Kenneth Deverman. The second
one is being built by the Lamar Home
Building Association, and the Paseo
company has already let contracts for
three new residences. In addition the
foundation is laid and the wall being
put up for a handsome $500 home
in the center of the north block facing
the boulevard, which the McCue Mere.
Co. is building for F. A. Cox.
f. w. Johnson, superintendent of
the d. A. NJ. & p. Co., and j. F. Baker
have purchased the lots adjoining Mr..
Cox and will at once begin the cree
tion of homes there
At least a half dozen other citizens
are having plans drawn and contracts
made for residences on their lots in
this handsome new addition. The CON-
pany is rapidly laying out the drives
and parking according to the promised
plans, and this part of our city will
soon be its most beautiful and exclus-
i've residence section. At least doz-
en- more citizens have purchased lots
which they expect to improve before
the end of the season, and this building
boom will have much to do with reliev-
ing the living situation in our city.

One More Spoke in the Wheel

The outlaw switchmen's strike was
just another step in the program of re-
volution that is being promoted by
radicals in this country.
Punishment for instigating such
movements has been a farce-a few
alien radicals have been deported but
thousands have been turned lose.
The blame for this leniency is plac-
ed at the door of Acting Secretary of
Labor Post, who has been a consistent
champion of radicalism and he has the
power to decide whether an alien re
volutionist shall be deported or not
The switchmen's strike has served
the purpose of demonstrating once
more that revolutionists acting as la
Dor leaders are attempting to wreck
this government and gain control of
our industrial system.
The government has proof that the
/. W. W. leader Foster who engineered
the steel strike fiasco, and others like
him, are behind the outlaw switch
mems strike. Also that this revolu-
tionary movement is financed by for
eign capital and is part of the plan
of the Russian radicals designed at
the ultimate capture of industry. the
overthrow of the government and the
setting up of n dictatorship like that
in Russia.
American workmen are making the
gravest mistake possible when they al
low themselves to become mere pawns
of radicalism to wreck this government
and its industries.
They would be the greatest losers by
chaotic conditions such as they are try
ing to create.

proper preparedness. Down to 1916"
ne said, "the President continually
voiced protest against any prepara-
ton on the part of the country for
war, Notwithstanding the fact that all
Europe was in conflagraiion. If we
had only two or three hundred thous-
and men and a proper system of train
ing at the time Germany declared war,
the Germans never would have crossed
the Belgian line at Liege. In the
early days of 1917, when the German
line was crumbling, and when Haig
had them almost with their backs to
the wall, if we had had few hundred
thousand men ready to send over there,
undoubtedly the war would have been
shortened by a year and more than g.
100000 lives would have been saved"

$1,000 A SPAN PAID IN
EAST FOR BIG HORSES
Western People Should Get Into the
Game and Get Heavy Stock.

Messrs. Richards and Slipp Of
Fort Fairfield, Maine, recently paid
more than $1,000 span for heavy
draft horses for use in the potato fields
of that state. They wer- de, 2 -bod'-i
powerfully built ORATORS and averag-
ed over 1900 pounds each. The pur-
chases were made at the Union Stock
Yards, Chicago.
This shows what the horse market
is coming to-" says r. w. Clark, live
stock specialist for the Colorado Agrl-
cultural College. "and farmers will do
well to heed the hand writing on the
wall.
Good heavy horses only should be
raised. all others are drug on the
market"

Reform Delayed

Not long ago Mr.. lansing, while
Secretary of State, wrote n letter to
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee in which he submitted facts which
revealed a startling congestion, with
facilities utterly inadequate to handle
the tremendous increase in the work Of
the Department since the beginning Of
the war. One Of the significant facts
about the matter is that the former
secretary should have waited until he
was no longer a member of the Presi-
dents Cabinet, and for a Republican
Congress, before taking measures Of
correction. Probably he knew that Mr..
Wilson would certainly disapprove any
recommendation that he might make,
and that the Administration leaders in
Congress would likewise deny him the
means for making the reforms.

The Vicious Circle

The striking bricklayers of New
York City have been awarded an in
crease of wages to S125 per hour for
an eight hour day. Without discuss
ing the reasonableress of the wage, it
is at once apparent that if the wages
of builders go up, the cost of new
buildings must advance, and the value
of present buildings goes up to cor
responding degree, all of which means
increased rental charges. At the same
time that tenants are unable to find
places in which to live, the cost of
houses is advanced by the men who
build houses. In this case the circle
of increasing cost Of living is quickly
made. Because of higher wages OF
bricklayers, rents go up, and because
rents 20 up the bricklayers must have
higher wages. And that is practical
ly the whole story relative to many
increases in the cost of living.

SILAGE FOR EWES
GIVES SHEEPMAN
EXTRA GOOD RESULTS
Six Weeks Breeding With Silage Near
Ewing Time Practically Doubles
Lamb Crop for Wyom-
ing Man.

As further proof Of the value OF
silage, R. W. Clark, livestock special
ist of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege relates the following:
A Mr.. Johnson of Basin, Wyoming,
is a strong advocate of silage for
breeding ewes. He runs sheep by the
thousands and by the use of silage
gets about 166 per cent lamb crop. He
begins feeding silage about six week.
before the lambing season arrives and
continues feeding it until the ewes and
lambs go to pasture in June.
He saves larger percentage of
lambs with silage than without it and
in the fall they average Is pounds
heavier than lambs, under the same
conditions, that received no sllage.
Since beginning to feed silage lamb
ing and other troubles have practical
ly disappeared from his flock.

WASHINGTON NOTES
For Fair Court Martial System

The agitation last year over the de-
fects in the army court-martial sys-
tenn has resulted in the framing by
the Republicans of comprehensive
amendments to the present regulations
which will b. incorporated into the
army reorganization bill now pending.
The proposal is to crate in the Judge
Advocate Generals office board of
review with power to modify or annul
all court martial sentences. Death
sentences must be by three-fourths
vote of the court instead of two-thirds
us at present. All members of courts
martial must have bad legal expert
ence. Defendants will be allowed to
select their own counsel, who may be
either military or civilian. Junior Of
ficers are to be subject to disciplinary
punishment as well as enlisted men.
Senator James w. Wadsworth of New
York, chairman of the Military Com
mittee, anticipates little opposition to
the proposed changes as the imper-
fcctions of the present system are gen
orally admitted.

SENTIMENT GROWING
Whole State Awakening to Need of
Strong National Guard
Organization.

Denver, April 25.-Denver may be
slow at times but when it wakes up
it tries to do things. Governor Shoup
has apparently done that which many
others have failed to do-he has
awakened Denver to the dangers of
Bolshevism.
A short time ago when the need Of
an efficient state militia was more than
apparent, he called in leading buciness
men from all over the state and urged
them to aid in this work of enlistments
in the National Guard. Most Of those
from out of town went back and start
ed actively to work but those in Dem
ver did not find the work as easy as
they had anticipated. They had been
told by federal army officer that
there was a well arranged movement
on the part of radical leaders to pre-
vent enlistments end when they start
cd work they found this statement to
be better than 100 per cent true.
Last week a meeting of the leading
business men of Denver was held at
ing enough information was brought
out to cause every sober minded per-
son in the state to step and do little
good hard thinking. Tyson Dimes. who
made the principal talk, asserted on
the best of authority thero were over
100000 reds in Colorado every one Of
them actively at work to overthrow
our government AMI laying every OBJ
stacle in tho way of militis enlistment
possible.
During the past few weeks it de-
veloped through secret service work
that the city he'd been flooded with
now bolshevis. literature of the most
dangerous kind. Mr.. Samson Of the
U. S. Secret Service, said that while
many Of the bolshevist leaders hC.]
been sent to the penitentiary yet the:
were thousands of them at large and
that they were now printing and cir
culating over 20 publications printed
in as many different languages. The
meeting pledge the business men Of
Denver to continue active work until
the city had its quota in the state re-
quirement. Mcnte Vista is the first
town awake to the real situation for it
has already completed its quota with
other towns probably will be in the
same class within a week or so.
The active work Of Governor Shoup
to call the peoples attention to the
red menace has won for him a great
many fricnds but will probably call
down on his head the wrath Of tho5e
in the state who, while not openly al
lied with the red NOV ilent, have yet
rather been extending sympathy and
aid. The whole movement is so In
siduous and so dangerous that it will
be well for every man from city dwell
or TO most distant farmer, TO look with
suspicious on every man who ap-
proaches him with some line of talk
that has back of it unrest. distrust. i'll
feeling and class hatred. Through
clever talks and from seemingly re-
spectacle sources, thousands are now
being led astray.

Not getting quick enough action on
the appeal for raise of salaries at the

President is even more vigorous and

Several county assessors have made
partial reports to the State Immigra-
ton Department on agricultural sta
tistics for 1920, and the tabulation of
these reports in the office of the de-
partment will be begun about May l..
Such reports received to date indicate
that the total acreage in cultivation
this year will be somewhat greater
than that reported last year, though
it is yet too early to make any fore
casts regarding the various crops All
advance reports indicate slight de-
crease in the acreage of winter wheat,
but possible increase in spring wheat,
corn and sorghums, and a possible
slight increase in both oats and barley.
Assessors also are reporting this year
the number of fruit trees of bearing
age of the several varieties, informa-

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

There are hundreds of excellent op-
portunities in Colorado for the estab-
lishment of business houses in various
lines, for new factories and for the
location of business and professional
people in some of the most prosperous
cities and towns in the state, accord
ing to the annual opportunity survey
now being completed by the State I'm
migration Department. The survey
covers more than 300 towns and small
fessional openings of all kinds. APP
parently there is greater demand for
hotels at the present time than for
any other kind of business establish
ments, more than so cities and towns
reporting need for new hotels or for
purchasers for existing hotels. There
is also considerable demand for physi-
clans, though not so large n call as
there was at this time last year The
list now includes nearly 1000 oppor-
tunities, in more than so different buS-
ness and professional lines. 1t does
not include positions of employment
in established business houses, but only
opportunities for the establishment OF
new business houses in locations where
conditions are favorable for success.
There are also good opportunities re-
ported for the location of attorneys,
physicians, dentists and other profes-
sional people in places where there is
little competition. The Immigration
Department found locations for more
than 100 business and professional peo-
pie through this survey last year and
it hopes to surpass that record this
year. A special campaign to advertise
these opportunities outside the state
will be begun as soon as Colorado peo-
pie have been given opportunity to fill
such of them as they care to fill.
