SAGUACHE SHERIFF GETS
BAD ACTORS AT PARLIN

Sheriff Paul Of Saguache came over
the mountains last week in pursuit of
two self-styled Mexican bad men who
were wanted at Saguache in connec-
ton with passing some bad checks.
The sheriff got track of them Monday
and when he attempted to arrest them
they threatened him with drawn guns
and made their escape. Early the
next morning word was received from
the Flying NJ. Ranch that two men
answering their description had pass
ed going in the direction of Gunnison.
The sheriff Immediately took up the
pursuit over Cochetopa pass. He
was informed by Ed Funk at Coche-
topa Dome that the two men had
spent the night there Saturday. At
the Parlin store Sheriff Paul found
that the two men had eaten a light
breakfast about 700 a. m. and gone
on toward Gunnison. A short dis
tance the sheriff spotted the two men
walking down the deserted South
Park track, whereupon he abandoned
his car, forded the Tomichi and headed
them off. The surprise of the meeting
evidently took all the starch out of
the Mexicans, who offered no resist
ance. Two guns and n bunch of "a
keys were taken from the prisoners.
Among the keys were master Yale,
handcuff, shackle and skeleton keys.
something for every occasion. Sher-
iff Paul took the men back to Saguache
the same day. During this time
Sheriff Hanlon of Gunnison had all
the roads guarded so that it would
have been well nigh impossible for the
men to have gotten thru our city any

Mr.. Brown informs US that the

ing the bill as to provide an agricultural schedule
which could be made part, without change, in the
proposed complete tariff revision measure to follow.
There is quite unanimous agreement that farm
products do need and should have tariff pro-
lection. The only problem Iis when this should
come It is question of tactics rather than strait
eey. involving only precedence thatNs whether this
bill and the complete tariff measure or tax revision
should come FIRST.
And this involves the whole question Of time.
1T might be easier to get fair agreement on tax
measure and its quick adoption, leaving tariff for
more leisurely consideration with its certainty Of
delay and conflict. Again, what gives Republicans
pause. is that such tariff delay will inject it more
directly into the next election and the memories
of 1912 have ghostly influence.
But there is still another economic measure of
almost if not quite equal importance. This is the
budget bill once passed and vetoed technicality

German Communists.

MI X LENlNE may fear he has become re-
IVA spectacle, but his followers are not troubled
py any such quibbles They have broken loose in
Saxony on reported orders from him. If this sbor,d
prove true, 1t would be cause for much surnr;se
as he has never made any pretense of sincerity in
any OF ms speeches or to any of his acts
he has many times said that any immediate,
policy he adopts, is but for the time. to secure =
present advantage and always subject to change as
tne situation changed His only fixed policy is to
MAINTAIN his own supremacy and his personal dieta
forship. His pledge to stop Bolsheyik propaqanda
and that he has wholly abandoned his policy of
world revolution, is worth just the breath exb,Ied
to make it.
But on the other hand these Communist ont
breaks IN Germany and chiefly for the time in Sax
ony, may have an entirely different source II Is
somewhat significant that Savony lying south of
brandenburg, reaches the southwest to the
boundary of Bavaria. These troubles come at inst
the time OF the proposed enforcement of disarma-
Hent which is especially resisted in Bavaria
1t has always been the plea of its widespread
niilitarist organizations, which refuse to disarm
that they must be maintained and must retain their
weapons, because of the danger of Bolshevism. II
would De quite German and not without precedent
that this plea should take on substance and concre.
demonstration at just the right moment
There is little real danger of Communist con-
trol in Germany. The government has sufficient
troops to suppress these sporadic outbreaks while
the real menace of substantial Red revolution has
been gradually wearing away. But that it should
be used by the mlitarists and imperiaIists 10 fur

considerable proportions.

Deserves the Honor.

HE record of the combat army of the American
i Expeditionary Forces in France is largely that
of Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett, who commanded the
army in the field. The greater strategyJof the su-
perb advance through the Meuse-Argonne sector is
only to his consultve credit; but the tactics in the
day-to-day advance mainly his.
That it was an American force which first
reached the city of Sedan that it there yielded the
honor of entrance to the city, to the French; that
when the armistice there were some thirty
American divisions ready for drive to encircle
Metz; that another thirty days would quite surely
have ended in German rout, is largely due to Gen.
Lggett's superb leadership.

OF the chief opponent who had to
be removed before England could

purpose England then, as now, put
more than one set of secondary

secondary causes concurring to
oring about Joan's destruction was
group of Anglicized French eccle-
slastics of the type of Cauchon-
men who. like Cardinal woolsey-

as her instruments to destroy the
Maid by fire, rebounds the shame.
