LEST WE FORGET

1t seems extremely unfortunate
that because of some personal differ
ences among Denver physicians, the
dead bones of Miss Mary Park, for
mer Delta school teacher, must be
exhumed and all the lip-licking slime
crawling gossips turned loose to gloat
over a possible mis-step of one who
was sweet and beautiful.
More than four years have elapsed
since Mary Park sought shelter in the
earth which had furnished her a home
and it is doubtful is any suggestion
of miSdeed was ever uttered against
her by any person qualified to know.
1t is we'll known that with certain
class of people. no woman married or
unmarried, submits to surgical op-
Grafton without the possibility of
some shadow of suspicion being
thrown about her.
Viewed from every angle, if in pun
ishing the guilty-and it is only pos
sibility that guilt will be proven-can
any good come of it when parents and
others to whom Mary Park was dear
are made to suffer incomparably thru
the action, while vile tongues are
turned loose to lash the back of her
who perhaps, loving, not wisely, but
too well, stepped aside as hundreds,
nay, thousands of women have done
before?
AS for ourselves, she was pure and
sweet, as when we first knew her.
and, refusing to listen to scandal, we
prefer to think of her as the lovely
blue-eyed, sunny-haired girl who years
ago drove a dog cart about the streets
of Greeley.

cooTIEs AND PRoFITEERs.

For most of the difficult problems
raised by the war human genius found
a solution. Men, money, ordnance,
ammunition, transports, equipment
strategy, everything pertaining to mill
tary art on mammoth scale. had only
to have its need indicated to be sup
piled. Yet there were two subtle foes
of efficiency, the cootie and that other
parasitic incubus, the profiteer, Win
which 1t was Impossible to cope. Even
the resourceful Ludendorff was baf-
fled by the profiteer, as he bears wit
ness in his memoirs: "Profiteering
was the deadliest sin, and our inability
to eradicate 1t was a matter OF the
greatest regret to me from the point
Of view of morale at home and in the
field. Many times / made an effort to
get to the bottom of 1t. The war prof
iteer is loathsome phenomenon. and
he and the corruption of his influence
have done us incalculable harm" The
war profiteer was the human cootie OF
the war, "a loathsome phenomenon"
which no insecticide~ of legislation or
of moral or military regulation could
eradicate says New York World.
"Great fleas have little fieas to bite
EN-" but this voracious flea was i'm
mune from any restraint. His gains
at the expense of his country were an
irritant poison to patriotism, and the
corruption of his influence, as the Ger
man says, did incalculable harm. If
there was no remedy for his voracity
in war can none be found in peace?

Yale professor who is interested
in taxation methods gives the country
the interesting news-Washington
having failed to report it-that the
auditing of federal tax returns is three
years behind the procession. Thus,
while the citizen is paying his 1920
taxes and congratulating himself that
that irritating business is over, leisure
ly clerks at the national capital are
examining his papers of 1917 with the
hope of finding mistakes in his arith-

the present pace falls off, the 1920 re-

p Irrigation does not pay" was the
argument before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at Denver
last week by an attorney for a bond
house. The attorney stated in his
particular case SO per cent of the to-
tai assessed valuation was retirement
assessment alone. While there may
be irrigation districts in Colorado so
organized and managed whereby max
ing ends meet is impossible, yet in
Western Colorado many acres of irri-
gated land could be assessed almost
any amount and pay out. Irrigation
in Colorado pays, and pays big, but
the reclamation of Colorado lands by
the irrigation route is problem
which must be in capable hands.

ENGLAND PLEADS

The unusual was before the tariff
committee, Tuesday when Arthur
Balfour, representing the English
high speed steel industry pleaded for
retention of the present duties, urg-
ing that the proposed change in the
tariff would put the English manu-
facturers out of business. A no.
ticeable feature of his remarks was
the statement that even should the
United States insist on this there
would be no endeavor on the part Of
England to retaliate: that England
believed friendly relations with this
country are essential, that the peace
of the world depends on the CO.
operation of these two countries.
1t is in evidence that conditions
have materially changed in England
since the war. Mr.. Balfour stated
that in England taxes to the amount
of % pounds per person are being
paid, that wages are nearly the same
as in this country and the cost of
living slightly greater. Wages have
increased 400 per cent in England
since the beginning of the war and
the cost of fuel is greater than in this
country. it is contended. Furthermore,
England has no way in which it may
pay it's debts to this country if it
shall be thrown out of employment.
The adjustment of this matter is
work for the experts, who ought to be
able to determine respecting the ac-
tual conditions there 1t is not the
purpose of this country to drive other
countries out Of business by means
of it's tariff. A remark of Senator
Smoot of the committee is signiff-
cant. He said: NO tariff law that
statute books as they have done in
normal times in the past"
This country imports considerable
of this grade of steel, which the Eng
lish declare under the proposed tariff
they will be unable to send us. Not
only is that country facing the tariff
in this country but she also is ex-
posed to ruinous competition with
Germany. 1t is conceivable, viewed
entirely from a selfish standpoint
and we have every reason to believe
this would be the view England
would take under like conditions
that it is possible to impose a duty
so high that in the long run it would

American Ships
In Foreign Trade
To Stay-Plummer

I'VE propose to put American
shipping into the foreign trade of
this country to stay" was the re-
mark with which Colonel" now
Commissioner Edward c. Plummer
of the United States Shipping Board
replied to the question of the Times
as to what the new Shipping Board
had in mind at present.
"Of course things are dull now
and well they may be" he continued.
THE world now has some 100000
tons surplus tonnage, due to the fact
that Russia, Germany and the south
eastern European states are doing
but little in ocean transportation,
while the water borne traffic of the
whole world is far below normal
But already signs of improvement
have appeared, and when it is re-
membered that the nations now in
active need only to resume some
thing approaching normal to create
a demand which will show full en-
ployment for all vessels, the outlook
improves.
But the assurance of a perman-
ency of American, shipping in the
foreign trade rests on facts which
world conditions have demonstrated,
that is, that a merchant marine is a
! national necessity and one of the
! most important industries a nation
can have. Then, the country has
come to see, from actual demonstra-
/ tlon, that it costs more to maintain
the high standard of wages and ac-
! commodations found on American
ships than it costs our competitors,
! and they have shown that they want
the ships.
Then the benefit of American
/ shipping lines as d sales agent of the
country is being demonstrated by
: the line which we have established
to Rio and Buenos Aires-a line of
/ finer ships than any of our competi-
tttt can show, and as a result we
! have built up a great business there
people will pay for the best and
! taNel on the best; and when that
means travelling to the United
States and doing their trading there.
+ they will come to the United States.
That isn't theory, that is what is
being done today. When ] asked
Frank Munson if he could fill those
14,oO0 ton steamers each voyage, he
smilingly replied that they were do
ing it, and that the American I.e-
gion, the new ship which / was on
for her trial trip, was already book
ed full
Heretofore. we have had to con-
tent ourselves with telling the public
ttl2; such would be the effect if we
established line of American ships.
Now it's demonstrated fact"-Bath
