Secretary Mellon SIMULTANEOUSLY says that THE
repeal of the profits tax solemn pledge made

We recall another very solemn pledge, much more
vociferousy enunciated viz: The soldiers bonus BILL but
has been indefinitely postponed virtually by Presiden
tial order The the constpated condition of
the Federal Treasury, Mr.. Harding told
But the repeal of the profits will reduce
the government income about half billion dollars and

be taken for the balance of the in antic

repeal retroactive merely leaves the half billion s5oo

mulcted it from the consumer.
Can you grasp the infamy of the procedure!
Can you fathom the wickedness the mpudence of
the whole deal?
Five hundred millions of dollars taken from the

AN OLD TIMER VISITS GUNNIsoN

Last Monday afternoon a middle
aged gentleman strolled into the EN-
pire office in leisurely sort of way
and asked whats the chance for a
job?" Owing to the fact that our en-
ployer was out of town, we did not
feel warranted in putting the gentle
man to work, but felt inclined to do

Jus to such an extent that we hardly
knew which part of the work to do
first.
However, as we continued conversa-
tion with the gentleman we found
that he was only blmffing and did not
need work as badly as he tried to
infer, and he went on to say that he
was one Will " Tufford, of Clinton,
Iowa. Further quizzing on our part
drew out the following account Of
Mr.. Tufford's early life:
"Way back, when these glorious
mountains, that surround Gunnison,
were little valleys" said Mr.. Tufford,
I was a resident of your city, and
worked at most anything could find
to do. 1 believe I was the first one
to haul freight up Ohio Creek and
also the first to take load of ore
out of that district. was later en-
ployed as printer on the Gunnison
Democrat, which publication will be
remembered by quite a number of
Gunnison residents who still remain
here. l was finally euchered out of
that job, and drifted to Ouray
where / was given work as typesetter
in the office there, and by some hook
o. crook was given the title of
Little Muldoon," and it has stuck to
me like cootie ever since"
1t was interesting to hear Mr.. Tuf'
ford talk of the early days in Gunni-
son. and undoubtedly was more in
tresting to the residents of our city
who happen to be acquainted with
. Mr.. Tufford and remember him.
Mr.. Tufford was the organizer o1
the Odd Fellow lodge of Gunnison
and says he thinks he is the only
, charter member left.

And the flame of the camp fire

To the rugged hills, and the forests

Runs far away to the South;
There's roaring torrent goes swe,p

Till it pours from the canyons

Then Gunnison's there, and Ouray

Where the hills and the sky doth

And Telluride and it's Bridal Veil,
And the land trod by Aztec feet.
There's a hillside broad, with flowers

Its green spruce towering high
Oh, there's many startlingly Won

 William Hale Thompson, Mayor of Chicago suf- fered his first political reverse since his election office in 1915 when few days ago Chicago voters defeated every Thompson candidate judicial posi- tion coalition ticket, composed of both Democrats and Republicans victorious. The Thompson can didates, all Republicans, opposed by the Bar Association and other civic bodies
 Twenty judgeships involved in the election and the Thompson machine had conceived the idea of capturing every place and defeating men who had given every evidence of their impartiality on the bench The citizens of Chicago rallied to the coali- ton ticket and out of total of some 45O OOO votes boiled, the Thompson ticket was beaten by ap promimately 50000. The women of the city for thc hrst time in its history, participated in judicial election and this factor is credited with having a de cisive effect in the result
