Democratic editors are finding fault
because Ambassador Harvey declared
that the United States went into the
war solely for self-defense, while
President Harding says we were
largely actuated by our interest in
civilization and humanity. The crit
icisms of the Democratic editors
aimed chiefly at Mr.. Harvey, demon
strate one important fact-that we
now have an administration that can
tolerate men whose minds do not
always run in exactly the same chan
mel as the presidents. This is no
longer a one-man government. Free
dom of speech and Of the press has
been restored.
The farmers suffered cut of about
Sc per cent in their income, so natur-
ally they think the rail employees
should be willing to take a cut of 10
to 15 per cent.
How would you like to have some
government bureau take supervision
over your business and tell you what
prices you may charge and what
wages you must pay, and then take
a big share of your profits If you
cmake any, and refuse to share your
losses? That is practically the man
ner in with the government is regu-
iating the railroads today.

A pEpLoRAeLE CONDITION.

The heavy r,n-off in both the I'm
compahgre and Gunnison rivers this
spring has done thousands of dollars
damage. Many acres here and there
along these swollen rivers have been
practically ruined.
The winding Uncompahgre from
Ouray all the way to Delta, has done
the most damage County bridges
and roads have suffered; many acres
of the very best land ruined; the Rio
Grande railroad has lost its tracks,
culverts and bridges in many places,
Owing to its sinuous course the river
has changed it's channel many times.
From the state bridge to below Del
ia the Gunnison has again claimed
within it's path damage that can hard
ly be totaled in dollars and cents.
The run-off natural to both the Cum
nison and Uncompahgre rivers covers
one of the widest snowfall areas in
Colorado for quick flood. The snow
fall basin extends from the valleys to
the highest peaks; and upon either
side are thickly timbered forests.
Through the Reclamation Service,
the government has spent upwards OF
$7,OO0,0OO in diverting the Gunnison
river into the Uncompahgre valley at
a point few miles above Montrose.
They have gone further and now have
nearly complete the necessary bitches
and laterals for distributing water
over the entire Uncompahgre valley.
We have the most perfect irrigation
project in the world with but two OBJ
jectionable features. The project
should have adequate drainage to
eliminate the seepage which Is mani.
fest in places. The most dangerous
and disastrous drawback to the en-
tire system is the winding Uncompah.
gre river itself.
Year after year this stream piles
up dollars upon dollars OF damage and
nothing is ever done.
From the point Of union of the
South Canal with the Uncompahgre
river all the way down to Delta the
stream should be Strengthened with
sufficient carrying capacity to amply
take care of any heavy spring flood.
This Is a government matter and
should be urged by the Water Users
association. The right Of way neces.
sary should be secured very reason
able. Everybody should cooperate
even to the Rio Grande railroad com.
pany.
The Gunnison river from the state
bridge to Delta should also have some
OF the kinks taken out.

HARD SHEDDING

Ambassador Harvey advised Eu-
rope that the United States would
cooperate but not meddle. Follow
ing this the Congressional leader OF
internationalism in this country, Sen
ator Gilbert Hitchcock. became bitter
in his denunciation OF Harvey Tor
presuming to indicate what should be
the foreign policy Of President Hard
ing. On the day Hitchcock was ac-
cusing Harvey of presumption, See
retary of State Hughes wrote the
Polish minister relative to the She-
sian boundary dispute, in part as
follows: 81 have the honor to inform
you that in my opinion the settle
ment of such boundary disputes as
arise in the matter under considera-
tion is a matter Of European con-
cern which, in accord with the trad1'
tional policy OF the United States,
this government should not become
involved. The attitude OF the gov
ernment in this matter Is clearly un-
derstood by its representatives In
Europe, who will therefore-..--...take
no part in the discussions concerning
Upper Silesia and will give no opin-
ion MS to the settlement" So 1t
seems that the foreign policy OF
the Harding administration Is fairly
well understood by our representa-
tives in Europe, whateveh view SEN
ator Hitchcock may take of it. 1t Is
hard shedding for internationalism

That's a fair question for every
woman who works. And these days
the army of business women Is con-
stantly increasing. Mortality statis-
tics are impartial and no respecter of

by one of the larger life insurance
companies show the average lives OF

just half of her life while the average
housekeeper lives to be SO years old.

to you, Miss Business Woman. you'd
better be above the average.
DO you sleep in the open air? Have
you and the sleeping porch gotten ac-

Do you know the pleasure Of hike

Do you know how to swim?
Do you keep your windows in the

so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

Various labor leaders are trying
to show that there has been no re-
duction in the cost of living srffi-
cient to justify reduction in war
time wage scales.
In the face of falling living costs,
the printers all over the country are
calling strikes to establish the "A
hour week at same pay as for 48
hours and in many instances they
demand an increase in pay as we'll.
This is the organized movement to
reduce production to increase jobs.
The Helena Independent in show
ing up the unreasonableness Of these
demands prints the following list of
present commodity prices in Helena
compared with peak prices OF 1920.
Theses figures give the lie to the
claim that living costs have not come
down and apply with equal force to
cities and towns the country over.
