HAPPY GREETINGS TO ALL!

Now at the close of the year we
take this occasion to thank all our
friends for their loyalty. There are
many who have not been as kind and
fair as we feel we have been with
them. But we prefer to say nothing
about those things which have wound
ed us and to believe that those who
are unfriendly are far in the minori-
ty. and to look rather to those who
are our friends.
The Independent will soon start on
its seth year, and we know that dur
ing the past three years, while we
have directed its operations not one
suggestion has been made which was
unclean; not one man, woman or child
has been wilfully offended and not
one issue has ever come from our
press which would attend even the
purest child.
We have nearly doubled the circula-
tion of the Independent during the
past three years, and while We have
asked for no donations or showers"
our list continues to grow. We shall
continue our policy of clean, fair, up
right business methods, which we be-
lieve to be the only way. Once more
we say: "a Merry Christmas"

JOE INGRAM PURCHASES
WELL KNOWN HOSTLERY

This week Joe Ingram purchased
the furniture, equipment and good will
of the Delta House, for the past two
years operated by Harrington & Wray
and will conduct the hotel in thor
oughly business-like manner, we judge
owing to the fact that he had had con-
siderable experience in the hotel and
restaurant business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ingram have made Del
ia their home for number of years,
and during this time their records
have been such that they need no
emulation from ourselves, but We be-
speak for them a generous share Of
business which is their right.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wray have gone to
Alamosa to take charge of the Vic
toria hotel which they purchased last
week, and Joe Harrington will go
there Sunday.

REPUBLICAN, PARTY NOT
AGAINST THE LAeoRIkG MAN

Washington, Dec. 2O.-"The insin-
cerity OF racial labor union leaders
was never more impressively demon
strated than at the present time when
they are endeavoring to make labor
ing people believe that the Republi-
can party is an enemy of the laboring
man." declares the Republican Publ
city Association, through its President
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. During
the past seven years the Wilson Ad-
ministration has maintained close re-
lations with the radical union leaders
Their counsel has been frequently
sought and almost universally fol-
lowed. When substantial business men
found it impossible to get the ear OF
the President, radical leaders had no
difficulty in securing an audience
with the Chief Executive. During the
recent campaign those same leaders
threw their influence to the Demo.
cratic nominees. In the disappoint-
ment OF defeat they strive to get re-
venge by charging the Republican
party with being inimical to the Ia
boring classes.
"a review of American Industrial
history, however. will show that the
Republican party has been the true
friend of the wage Garner although
welfare of the laboring man by class
legislation or special privileges. 1t
has been the belief of Republicans
that the only sound plan is to promote
the general welfare in which each
and every class will participate.
"In the demand for protective tariff
Legislation owners of American indus
trial enterprises have taken the lead
| and 1t has been the effort of the De-
mocrats to create the impression that
because capital has been most active
in this direction protective tariff leg
islation would be in the interest of
capital only. 1t must be readily ap-
parent, however, that capital can not
profit by enlargement OF American
industry without measurable bene-
fit being reaped also by wage earners.
Limitation of importations means in
creased home production. Every In
crease in home production means an
| increase in the number of American
wage earners employed, with a cor
responding effect upon wages. The
man with capital invested in Ameri-
can enterprise has been most active
in urging tariff Legislation because
he is best able to secure statistics
demonstrating the need OF protection
and to present his arguments before
| legislative committees. Indirectly he
is the spokesman of men whom he en-
ploys, for his endeavor is to secure
an import duty which will represent
the difference between the wage paid
to labor in foreign countries ana that
paid In the United States.
"Whether the Democratic or the
Republican party Is the true friend
of labor was demonstrated In 1914
following enactment of the wilson
Underwood tariff law. Prior to the
enactment Of that law the monthly

is JUDGE BLACK ovERwoRkED,

The Mesa County Bar association
has gone on record as favoring an
additional Judge for the Seventh Judi
cial district, with the plea that Judge
Black is SO overworked that he can
not handle the volume of business
that is placed before him each year.
The procedure Of the ordinary law
suit, if continued in practice. would
require several judges within the nsst
few years.
We are in the days of recons,ruc-
tion. II the business actually warrants
additional help, let's have 1t, bU. be
fore the matter goes any further, lts
investigate. Shall secold Judge be
saddled upon the state. m2-e'y because

trade balance had been in favor of
the United States. AS soon as a
long list of commodities had been
placed on the free list and the i'm
port duties of another long list had
been greatly reduced. the United
States began increasing its purchases
abroad with the result that the ia
vorable balance rapidly decreased -un-
til finally the balance appeared on
the wrong side of the ledger. 1t re-
quires no college training in econo-
mics to enable any person to know
what the result of such a policy must
be. Every dollar spent abroad meant
a dollar more for the foreign wage
Garner and a dollar less for Ameri-
can. Moreover. since every dollar
changes hands ten times year. IN
the course of twelve months of every
dollar sent abroad meant ten dollars
of increased activity in foreign indus
try and ten dollars less of turnover
in American industry.
1.-THE Republican party stands to-
day where it has always stood-for
the promotion of the general welfare
of the United States. Under its poll
cies the laboring man. along with all
others will enjoy the largest possible
prosperity Undoubtedly during the
next few months there will be much
unemployment due to the reaction
from the state of high initiation
brought about by Democratic policies.
but eventually the restoration of Re-
publican principles in our economic
system will restore industrial activity
with resultant benefit to the wage

a VICTORY FOR LAW AND ORDER

There are cases in which the fear.
less discharge of plain and simple
duty is worthy OF high praise. Such
a case is the decision Of Lieutenant
Governor Stephan to take no further
executive action to interfere with the
sentence imposed upon George Bosco
It was the plain duty of the acting
governor to respect the authority OF
the courts and to support the en-
forcement Of the laws, but it required
a fine degree of moral courage and
of mental integrity to stand firm
against the strong influences that
were brought to bear to prevent the
infliction of the penalty of capital
punishment in this case.
Wholly Independent Of the question
whether capital punishment is right
or wrong, as matter of principle or
as a matter of policy, Colorado's name
is more honorable, and her laws are
more respected, today, because Lieu
tenant Governor Stephan has refused
to be the instrument OF sentiments
lists to nullify law and to make gov
ernment contemplate.
II those who are opposed to capital
punishment, and who have been seek
ing to pervert the pardoning power
