Not Too Late to Save the Republican
Party

1t is not yet too late to the legislative situa
tion and to without extra session. If the
Republican members of the house and senate be
brought into conference with the party leaders, the
program promised to the people be put thru.
The members of the legislature are not exclusively
TO blame for the present unfortunate situation Last
fall Republican leaders from all the state gathered
in various conventions and outlined policy that
adopted by the and legislative candidates The
people accepted the platform and elected the Repub
lican senators, representatives and state officials
Since the election the who drafted the platform
and who outlined the policy have practically left the
legislature alone Never before in the history of the
Republican party in Colorado has there been such
opportunity for constructive legislation there
when this general assembly met The chairman of the
Republican state central committee then owed duty
to the party and the state that ought to have been full
filed He should have called into conference the lead
Of the party from all the state and should have
appointed general advisory committee representing
the state organization and the Republican men and
of Colorado to aid the Republican senator's and
representatives in the enactment of the laws pledged in
the party platform.
But how then could the state chairman know, and
who among the county leaders would have been bold
to predict, that the Republican assemblymen would
oe 81 ueieiie " .neir uuty so olihu W he party inter-
ess, unfaithfu in the performance of their pledges
to the people, to permit nearly ninety days of the
session to pass without sending to the governor
measure of constructive legislationf
It is not too late to do the thing that might
have been done long ago. The chairman Of the state
central committee and the Republican leaders in the
counties should understand that the honor and the f-
ture of the party seriously imperled, and
they should act to the party from dishonor and
defeat
It is not matter of great importance who wins in
any factional personal quarrel, who is triumphant
in clash between departments of the state governs
ment. But it is matter Of tremendous importance
whether the Republican party keeps its platform pledges
to the people, for in that issue is involved very vital
principle of popular self government

This is not a fortunate day, accord

Uranus dominates with evil power,
while Mercury and Mars are adverse.
Business Judgment is not to be trust
ed at this time, for conditions will

problems.

At this time race questions Will be
sharply discussed, but the planets

Neptune gives repeated warning of
literary scandals and a period OF pub
fishing that will put on the market
many books OF questionable charac-
ter.
Women as we'll as men should safe

Clean Newspapers

good many persons these days are declaring with
more less vehemence that they want clean news
papers, yet it is undoubtedly fact that some of these
same persons do not want klean newspapers.
Indeed it would appear that some of those who
are the oudest in their criticism of the newspapers
those who have read with greatest particularly all the
indecent details of the stories of vice and crime that
have recently formed large part the current
Of the day.
As matter of fact the persons that really want
clean newspapers like the persons that really want clean
picture shows, have the program of their desire clearly
In their own hands 1t is not necessary wade thru
more particularly the nature of the article is usually
plainly pacarded in the headnes and was ever
seriously hurt by newspaper stories that remained un-
read.
Furthermore, newspaper that continues to print
the sort of matter that has been spread in American
homes recently, upon the theory that this the kind
of human interest stuff its readers want, can hardly
be blamed for continuing to hold and upon that be-
lief, when its readers do nothing than make empty
clamor against the morality of such publication.
The people who do not want to read indecent ar
ticles, do not read them.
The people who do not want sensational "human
interest,"" boodand-sex newspapers in their homes do
not permit them to come there
The people who really and sincerely desire clean
newspapers, take clean newspapers, and none others
With the effective remedy easily at hand it hard
ly seems worth while to pay much attention to the COM
plants of those who talk way about uncean news
papers and act in quite different way,

In the days before the Eighteenth
Amendment put n ban on liquids with
an alcoholic content, punch" OF one
kind or another was an essential at
all formal receptions, dances and other
ceremonies at which number OF per-
sons were present. and both the word
and the beverage are SO essentially
British. that few would think to look
abroad for the derivation of the term.
Yet like u number of other name, OF
intoNicants. punch" comes from tho
East-from the Hindustani "pince"
and the Sanskrit pancha. both OF which
mean five. As the formula for tho
original drink called for five ingrcdi-
ents-spirit, water, sugar, lemon and
spice It is probable that the name,
II not the recipe, was brought to Eng
land by some Indian nabob and hav-
ing found favor there, was rapidly
adopted into the language of the pco-
pie.
The other kind of "punch"-thc one
synonymous with blow or "strik-
ing with the fist"-is either an al
legorical reference TO the cffects; OF
the liquid punch, or. remembering the
origin of the first word a blow de-
livered with the fist or with all five

Good Work By New Secretary

Secretary Davis Of the department of labor is to
strike of the packing house employees. Such a strike
at this time would have been nothing short Of national
disaster 1t would have increased greatly the Of
meat to the consumer and it would have deprived the
producer Of profitable market. It would have been
heavy loss to the business interests of the nation and
it would have inflicted a staggering blow upon the
wage earners thru their loss Of employment.
1t is very pleasing to note that the efforts of Sec
rotary Davis to promote industrial peace heartily
seconded by the representatives both Of the packers and
Of their union employees. Such spirit of conciliaton
and Of broadmnded fairness is the great need of the
industrial life Of the nation today The example of the
packers and their employees is to be commended to
poyers and workers in all other lines.

maned the lingering hope that somewhere in Germany
there might be store of those principles
Of morality, integrity and self respect, which held
among of what call Christian civilization-and
not among Christian alone-as superior to wealth,
power or material achievement
The verdict of the world against imperial Germany
rendered not by Germanys enemies, but by those
who would have preferred to remain Gernanys friends
The United States and her neutral associates did not
enter the willingly; they forced into the
by Germany There was nothing that Germany pos
sessed which they desired take by force They had
purpose to deprive Germans of any right or just
privilege But they had fight in defense of cviliza-
ton and of liberty because Germany pursued the pur-
pose of selfish greed and Imperialism with utter dis
regard of the rights, the opinions and the we'll being of
other nations.
What imperial Germany was proved to be in war,
republican Germany is discovered to be in peace And
once Germany is being judged, to her everlasting
Giscredit, not by enemies but by those who would like
to be her friends. Nothing would give the people of
the United States greater pleasure than to welcome the
German republic into the ranks of liberty loving square
dealing truth speaking nations of the world and do
our full part neighbors and friends, to bind up
the wounds of and to repair far possible the
reparable injuries of insoent and autocracy
But with the exception of few isolated voices like that
of Aaximian Harden, there is nothing to indicate that
the masses of the German people, those German lead
ers who control national affairs have any purpose Of
sincerity, truth or honesty.
On the contrary their only purpose to be one
of evasion and of treachery and they
lent, defiant, mpenitent and unashamed.
To deal with the millions of such race is prob
lem to tax the utmost powers of civilization but it
problem that cannot be avoided. Even yet we cannot
believe that there is not in Germany vestge of
national morality integrity and self respect upon which
ha Sfahl, shoI cfv oe
ment But thus far it must be confessed by those
that wish Germany WE'LL such basis of reconstruction
in accord with the principles upon which civilization
must be maintained, has not been found.
