At last, colonel-a sure enough

has loosely complained of being ad-
dressed as "Col." Watterson every

The matter was this: Once Ken

Home Gardens an Urgent Need.

On Saturday was effected in this
city the District of Columbia Agricul-
tural Council for the purpose of con-
ducting a campaign in home growing
and gardening this spring. Reasons
of the greatest urgency were stated
at the meeting for the widest possible
cultivation of home gardens this year.
The situation is worse than it was dur.
ing the war. Truck farmers all over
the country are buying smaller guam
titles of seed than ever in recent
years. They do not want to take the
chance on an uncertain market for
their "truck," and, therefore, the pros
pect is that the supply of vegetable
food will be shorter during the coming
season than even in the worst months
of the European conflict.
1t is possible for the people to feed
themselves to such great extent
through home gardening that the

Thousands of housewives have
found that they can save two-thirds
of the money usually spent for
cough preparations, by using this
well known old recipe for making
cough syrup at home. 1t is simple

hold of a cough and gives imme-
diate relief, usually stopping an or
dinary cough in "a hours or less.
Get q. ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, honey

The Treaty and the Third Term.

The Presidents Jackson day letter
seems not to have been accepted as
conclusive. either on the question II
dealt with, or ON the one it failed to
deal with.
Take the peace treaty. Democratic
senators are still talking reservations,
and some of them predict the ratitica
tion of the treaty with reservations.
Evidently they think that, faced with
such an outcome, the President. not
withstanding his present attitude,
would weaken and accept the Senate
work. At any rate, they are Wiling to
chance it. They want the treaty dis
posed of, believe that the country does,
and are busy trying to give the coun-
try what they think it wants.
Take the third term question. The
President said nothing about it, when
something definite was expected and
strongly desired A single line re-
fusing the use of his name in con-
nection with another nomination
would have brought forth halleluJah
chorus. There were diners at the
Jackson day function to whom such a
line would have carried infinite pleas
ure.
The absence of the line left some
of these men without hope. They have
taken a final and somewhat affecting
leave of their presidential booms.
Never again for them.
Others, however, are not so sure.
The welcome voice of whispering
hope" still sounds in their ears. They
consider they have two chances: One,
that the President may yet speak the
desired word and clear the way for
them; the other, that, if he does not,
the party in a few months will, IN a
polite and sympathetic way, speak the
word for him.
The men of this latter class wish
the President. all personal good for
tune. They read with pleasure DR..
Grayson's reports of his condition,
and sincerely desire to see him COM
pletely regain his health. But they
doubt If this can come about in time
to make it safe, either for him to ac-
cept another nomination, or for his
party to bestow another on him even
if he should wish it.
The case of Mr.. Tilden is cited.
The Sage of Greystone was never a
robust man physically. So that the
excitement of his campaign for the
presidency, followed by that attending
the electoral commission, took heavy
toll of his strength, and left him re-
duced in reserve power. This his op-
ponents in his party used against him
in 1880 when it was proposed to re-
nominate him. He was in fair con-
dition, but they insisted that he could
not stand the strain of another cam
paign, and that should he break down
in the midst of one the party would
60 to certain defeat at the polls. Mr..
Tilden was not renominated.
The coming FIVE months will be
found packed with thrills, and maybe
some surprises.

THE COMPANY SIDE OF
THE ACCIDENT QUESTION

To the Editor Elk Mountain Pilot and
Gunnison Empire:
Our attention has been called to
resolutions passed by the Crested
Butte local of the United Mine Work
ers touching on the accident which
resulted in the death of Joseph Byouk
on the 18th of May, 1920, at the Elk
Mountain mine of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company. These resolutions
condemn the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company because they did not have a
mine foreman on duty at the time of
the accident to see that Section 70 of
the Coal Mine Law was complied
with. The Section 70 referred to
reads as follows:
"The mine foreman shall see
that safety blocks or some other
suitable device is installed and
maintained in good working con-
dition to prevent cars from fall
ing into shafts, or running away
on all slopes or inclines where
grades are sufficient to allow cars
to run, and employees shall use
such devices in all rooms or en-
tries where such employee has
charge of any car"
1t is clearly seen that the law re-
quires the mine foreman to supply
the suitable devices for preventing
running away of trips on slopes. This
device was furnished in the form OF
drag which is universally used for
this purpose to be attached to the last
car on the trip so that in case g
hitching or rope breaks, the trip will
be delayed. The trip rider in this
instance neglected to attach the drag
to the rear end of the trip.
1t is foolish to expect the mine
foreman to be present each time 8
trip is hoisted to see that the trip
rider uses the drag, and the company
was in no way at fault in this in
stance and had in no way violated ths
law. The responsibility for the ac
cident rests entirely with the triT
rider who failed to use the drag.
