1t is true liUt nothing Gail FIJI the
place in the preparation for life that
instruction during youth provides.
But. after ali, this schooling Of youth
is but means to an end. It's aim
is not so much to provide items OF
knowledge, TO be. treasured up and
specifically applied in later years, as
to initiate a process of emancipation
from the bonds Of the ignorant inca
pacity which prevent development,
and so to render possible an advance
through later life towards real free
dom of the spirit. The things learned
are, in other words, not ends i'll them
selves, but the milestones which
mark progress towards liberation.

ton himself. If mining fails to
come back, it means that Mr.. Rem
shaw's business fails also, SO it
means as much to him as to the
rest.
Besides the mining proposition,
is it not an incentive to vote for a
man of our own community and
county2 Is it not a credit to be
able to say that the state senator
is from Clear Greek county?
Mr.. Renshaw is well educated,
and in every way is man of whom
we are not ashamed to send from
ClearCreek county as state senator.
What are you doing to do about
it? Are you for him. and are you
going to vote for him and thereby
vote for the interests of this county
and all mining districts? You

Mining Men, Now Is
Your Big Opportunity

If the people of this community
want the mining interests repre-
sented and taken care of, William
E. Renshaw is the man you want
to elect for the state senate. He
has made mining his business fol
thirty years and understands il
from "a to T." He has particu
larly devoted his mining interests
to Gilpin and Clear Greek counties
and will do his best to bring min.
ing back to it's own, if given an
opportunity by being elected as
senator from Colorado.
He is a Republican and believes
explicitly in its principals, but is
not narrow in his views and gives
every man the right to his convic-
tions. He would not sacrifice the
interests of the state or his COM
munity for the sake of putting a
man in power who is not capable,
altho he might be of the same poll
tical faith.
For years, Mr.. Renshaw has been
manager of the great Gem mines,
and in his business dealings with
his employees and others. he has
always assumed an honest an up
right position, gaining the respect
of all.
Mr.. Renshaw did not seek the
nomination for the Office OF state
senator, but since his friends have
been kind enough to honor him
with it, he believes it his duty to
do his best to be elected. Having
extensive mining interests himself,
one cannot doubt the fact that he
will do the utmost to promote
mining interests. 1t isn't like the
candidate who will promise all
sorts of things just to be elected,

this country, with the war league

That means that we should be
bound to provide money and men,
as much and as many as needed

England because of her vast sDe

Do we want to insure the British
empire against attack? Do we

man and every American dollar
back of that insurance?
Why, in the name OF Washing

Do The Voters

Fortunately for the United State
Article x, in the league Of nation:
covenant, is written SO clearly tba
no man can argue about it. 1t
design is to make this nation re
sponsible with men and money fol
future European wars.
Here is that Article x. of which
President Wilson truly says, "lt
is the heart of the league.
"The members of the league
(of nations) undertake to res
pect and preserve as against
external aggression the territor-
ial integrity and existing polit-
ical independence of all mem
bers of the league. In case of
any threat or danger of such
aggression the council shall ad-
wise upon the means by which
this obligation shall be full
filed"
If the United States enters the
league of nations, as Mr.. Cox
promises that it shall do, this
country will be bound to respect
and preserve from external ag-
gression the territory and political
independence of all mem bers of
the league.
Japan is in the league, despoil-
ing China, grapping Siberia shall
we protect her with her loot?
Roumania is in the league She
has doubled her territory since
the war, taking land from other
nations. We must fight with her
if any nation tries to take back
what Roumania has got by con-
quest. That means that at any mo-
ment our men aud money could be
called on to fight Russia or Tur-
key, or both, and to fight any ma
tious helping them.
Speaking to representatives Of
European powers in Paris Presi-
dent Wilson said:

J. H. ROBSON
Democratic Candidate for Representative

Mr.. Robson has been mining in Clear Creek
county for fifty years. He began working in the
mines when a boy and knows the needs of the work
have brought as much money here to be used and
expended for the benefit of the county. He has
the county successfully and when superintendent he
never had any strikes or labor troubles.
Important mining legislation will come before
the next legislation and this county should be rep

1t is a council in which this
country would have about as much
influence as has Hayti in the affairs
of the United States?
We are invited to have just one
vote in that council, while Eng
land, whose empire we must in

nations of Europe have votes that
would make of our one American
vote a pitiful farce. Are not the
interests of America apart from

Would not their council, "ad-

the machine dropped.
