also "run out" if we allow it to be crossed with other varieties. The danper of mixing and crossing, and of general deterioration of the crop has to be feared, if other varieties are grown. and our market will be ina- paired if it should appear that the Pima cotton will soon be replaced or mixed with short fiber.
 A New Law Needed
 The pure food and drug law pro- tects the public against some of the worst dangers and decept1ons of the patent medicine dealers, but there is no law to protect us against inferior cotton seed except the quarantine against bringing in seed rom regions infested with boil weevils Or other cotton nests. Disregard of the pest danger is a very disquieting feature of the agitation for short cotton. The suggestion that large quantities of fresh seed be brought in every year from South Carolina no doubt is att tractive to those who expect to handle the seed, but certainly our. farming industry ought not to be jeopardized to make business for prospective dealers.
 The call for more evidence by the Farm Bureau, with suggestion that more experiments be made, is good sign if it means that more or our people are getting into a state or mind where evidence will be consid- cred, instead of responding without thought to the suggestions or those who would like to sell some other kind of seed. Our cotton industry is in danger as long as ther. are farm CTS who can be induced to buy in- ferior short staple or mixed seed, and at higher prices than are charged Tor pure Pima seed. More experiments can do no harm, if properly Isolated, and the possibilities of any other va- rieties should be known to all our farmers as the best protection that we can have against the erroneous statements that now find credence. If there is a better cotton than Pima for the Salt River valley, all farmers will want to grow 1t, and there will be the same need of having supplies of good seed, and of keeping up the seed Supplies by continued selection and roguing of the seed fields as With the Pima cotton.
 To let go of our community sys- tenn of production or to have it de- stroyed by casual tampering with dlf- ferent kinds of cotton, would place us where no other kind of cotton could cure us. No doubt the cotton growers in this valley would be as badly dis couraged as in other districts if we had been planting the inferior mixed seed, instead of a uniform, select stock. That we should abandon oul good variety of cotton and discard our system of organized community production and marketing of our croI 1 is a suggestion that certainly would 1 not be made by anybody who has fol- l lowed the progress of the cotton In dustry in this valley in comparison with other regions.

FOUR MINERS HELD
 SHOOTINGS IN STRIKE DIST RICTS

WALSENBURG, Colo, Nov. 22- Four miners of the Oakdale mine at Oakview were in the county jail to- night in connection with the, investi- gation by Col. Patrick J. Hamrock, adjutant general, for the shooting af- fray fray at the mine a week ago, fray at the mine a week ago Sunday.
 The men were taken by state rang CTS sent here to enforce order after declaration of marital law following strike of miners in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company mines. The Oaklale mine is not a Colorado Fuel and Iron company property.
 The arrest of the four miners fol-

lowed an investigation of several days in an effort to fix responsibility for a general fusilade fired into the camp from the hills, in which Dan Price, president of the miners union at the camp, was slightly wounded.
 Coloney Hamrock said that two of the men admitted having been in possession of weapons at the time of the shooting, which the colonel said apparently started from a fued be- tween certain factions of the camp. Those arrested are Claude Philpot, 29: Louis Lasalle, 21; Gust Ferris, 30; Steve Roth, 31, the latter two being aliens.
 No formal charge has been placed against them.

China was gradually induced by treaty. it was explained, to grant the nationals of the powers this rate of two and a half per cent in addition to the ex- port and import duties in lieu of all internal tariffs. Thus, the Chinese say, native merchants are penalized as compared with foreign traders since the internal customs rate is invariably higher than two and a half per cent.
 China's contention for restoration of tariff autonomy is based on four principles: That the existing re- strictions amount to denial of self determination: yielding of in sufficient revenue; inequality in taxation and a check on economic deyelopment of China.

II VENTS make sport of the schemes
~ Of mice and men. Mckinley en-
tered the race for the presidency on
the tariff issue, was elected on the
money issue . and the greatest
problems that confronted him in the
White House were the fate of a chain
of islands off the coast of Asia and
the destiny of China!
Spain had been engaged for two
years in a desolatlng struggle t. hold
in subsection the revolving island of
Cuba, and two happenings pushed
Mckinley into the conflict in spite of
Ahimself. In a private letter, the Span
ish minister at Washington scoffed at
the president as a 'politicastro'-
in plain American, "a peanut poll
tician"-and plainly intimated that
the fair promises which the S%paniards
Were giving him We're only a trick to
fool the administration and the Amer
lean people. Within a week of that
exposure, the battleship Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor, with the
loss of 266 American lives.

XXIILLIAM MCKINLEY challenged
w and disproved the old saying
that the presidency casts its shadow
on no nan but once and that if the
chance be missed hen it will nevel
come again. Twice the Republican
nomination seemed to be within Nc
Kinley'S reach-in the national con
~ventions of 1888 and 1892. Each time
he put it away, content to wait his
proper turn, when he did not have tC
shake the tree to bring down the
ripened fruit of his patience.
Mckinley was beaten for the speak
ership by Thomas b. Reed in 1889, and
he left Washington a defeated con.
gresham only six years before he re.
turned as president-elect. Had hi
been speaker, and, instead of Reed, in.
Cured the title IF Gear" or had he
not been turned out of congress
had he won those smaller honOrs he
well might never have won the highest
honor. A disappointment m~anfully
borne enlists the popular sympathy
and the author of the Mckinley bill
entered the contest for the presiden'
tial nomination in 1896 as n who had
suffered martyrdom in the OF
the protective tariff.

And for IA years he was the spokes.
man in congress of that Industrial
district.
The young major, when he came to
Canton, was a c%lean-cut, outstanding
figure, genial in his nature, but with a
sober dignity. His readiness of speech
when on his feet, came from his prac-
tice of the art in the debating societies
of his school days. His habits also
had been properly formed in his boy
hood when he Joined the Methodist
church at ten and grew up a youth
as his collar clean.
All doors in the little town natural
ly swung open with a welcome to
"such a nice young man," and a ma
jor to boot. Although he was yet
poor, when Ida SaXton, the bankers
daughter, who had been to school in
New York city and who had just come
back from Europe, smiled yes to him,
while they were taking a buggy ride
the banker smiled, too, and made them
a wedding gift Of one of the best
houses in Canton. 1t was from the
front porch of that honeymoon dwell
ing that Mckinley made his campaign
for the presidency in 1896.
McKinley's is one of the best-and
one of the most pathetic-lOve stories
in the domestic records of the presi-
dency. With the birth of her second
child, the wife was left an invalid.

he hurried home from congress-, and

Fish Protectors Discuss Pollution

Measures to safeguard the fish .in-
dustry of the Eastern seaboard were
discussed June 10th at a conference
of State authorities from the Atlantic
coast and fishermen with Secretary
Hoover. The meeting was called, It
was explained, to consider the prob
lens of pollution of the waters OF the
Atlantic and control migratory fishes.
1t developed at the conference,
Hoover said, that billions of dollars
worth of fish had been lost during the
past 20 years through pollution Of the
waters as a result of the use Of oil as
fuel for ships. The conference de-
cided. he added, that the problem
should be handled through Federal
action, and recommended the appoint
ment of a national commission to
study the question.
Representative Linthicum, of Mary
land. who has introduced in the House
a Migratory Fish bill, modelled gener-
allv after the Migratory Game law,
opened the discussion. He said that
his bill now provides for the protection
of fish and that he would be GLAD 10
amend it to cover specifically crabs, Il
the general terms do not do so now,
and also to make it apply only to food
fish. He then spoke of the wastefuI-
ness that has marked the treatment
of natural resources of many years
and of the necessity for stringent con
servation methods in many directions.
There is now, and there has been for
several years, he said, the most obvl-
Gus and pressing need for conservation
of seafood, resources.

months the popular cutlery Of Gre
member the Maine" the president
yielded, and war was declared. In
. ten days Dewey had smashed the
enemy squadron in Manila bay; in ten
weeks another squadron was sunk
or captured off Santiago; in three
months and a half poor old Spain
threw up the sponge.
' 1t took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. AS we had not
captured the islands in the war, many
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender Of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the
president dispatched a military eXpe-
dition to take over the Philippines,
proclaiming to the revolving FilipinOs
the policy of benevolent assimila-
ton" The resulting war dragged its
unpleasant length for two years be-
fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed
to their new master.
It was the strange fortune of a
president whose entire public life had
been given exclusively to domestic
questions to plant the flag in the dis
tant Philippines and to send it to the
pink walls of the Forbidden City of
China. In the march on Picking for the
rescue Of the forgein legations from
the siege of the Boxers, or Chinese
<yolutionists the United States joined
other powers for the first time in a
military expedition.
Under the high craftsmanship of
John Hay, the secretary of state, the
United States had already, before the
Boxer rebellion, laid a restraining hand
upon the nations that were looting
Chinese territory and had drawn from
them pledges to keep an "open door"

ing at the point of the gun. The

Silvertowns In 2O% Price Reductions

Motorists will be glad to know that
the famous Silvertown Cord Anti-Skid,
Safety Tread Tires are included in
the recent 20To price reduction which
brought tires prices back to pre-war
basis. Among tires Silvertown is the
name that instantly conveys the
thought of the highest quality. Motor
car manufacturers and dealers are
quick to emphasize to their prospects
that their cars r. equipped with Sill
vertowns, knowing that neither expla-
nation nor argument is necessary.
This reduction brings Goodrich
price to a point 15% below the pre-
war schedules, as represented by the
1918 level. 1t is rather startling TO
find that in 1910 tire prices were 1850
higher than the Goodrich prices today.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, has recently suggested that
when price reductions are made pres
ent prices should be shown, compared
with the prices on same article one
year ago. In the case of Goodrich
this would show that last November
tires We're reduced about 1850 and on
Nav 2nd Goodrich reduced prices on
every size and style of their tires IN
Guiding SilveTtown POO.
The price reduction campaign IN
stituted by Goodrich has received the
endorsement of motorists, dealers and
the press-as an economic move in
tune with the spirit of the times.

Lights on Bicycles

Assembly 488, effective April 2 1921,
is an amendment to the traffic act,
and provides that all bicycles when In
use on any street at night shall carry
at least one lighted lamp on the front
of such bicycle, which lamp shall show
a white light and shall be Of such ma
ture and so displayed that 1t may De
seen at least 200 feet distant IN the
direction toward which the bicycle Is
proceeding, and if such front lamp IS
so arranged that it will show a req
light for a d~istanct of at least 200 feet
from which the bicycle is proceeding,
then no red light attached to the rear
of such bicycle will be necessary; pro
vided. however, that where such front
light does not show a light visible for
a distance of at least 200 feet l the
direction from which the bicycle is pro
ceeding. then there shall be attached
to the rear of such bicycle n lighted
iamp showing a red light visible for
q distance of at least 200 feet IN the
direction from which the bicycle Is
proceeding.
Ii was impossible to have the new
motor vehicle act take effect at thls
time as S5 per cent. of u reglstra-
lions for the year 1921 have been IS
sued and it was DESTROYS that the new
law should become operative When the
new fees are levied.
The motor vehicle act carries a
drastic penalty for overlooking OF
trucks and it is hoped that with the
scales for weighing now at the dlspo-
sal of the Department of Motor We
hicles that the haulage of loads far IN
excess of the carrying capacity of h

Trade At Home

When YOU order a piece of goods by
mail, you know nothing about the
quality of the article delivered until
it has been tested by use. Having
been used and found wanting, YOU
have to 90 to the trouble of sending it
a long distance back for long-distance
satisfaction, a very rare bird indeed.
Trade in a home store and get quail
itv. The local merchant must carry
quality or his neighbors will not trade
with him. And if there has been bad
quality accidentally, it is only a step
into his store to show him the error.
The merchants of our town have
both quality and price. If you will
only figure out the common ms of
it. YOU will find that it is cheaper to
trade at home in the long run, and the
short run, too.
