OUR MILITARY COVE an
fiENT.

The Republican party In Colo
RADIO announces In ious tones
that II stands for law arc order
and endeavors to create the i'm
preston that the Democratic
party stands for anarchy and
disorder. 1t also Intimates rather
strongly that lawlessness is pre-
valent only among working peo-
pie, and 1t insists upon an army
of rangers. such as we have had
for. the past two years, to keep
the lawless working man in
order. But the Republican party
hasn't fooled anybody. All law
abiding people in Colorado and
in every other state are for law
and order. and all thinking peo-
pie know that the working man
Is only human being and Is not
different in his loyalty to his
government and his respect for
law from any other human be-
ing. But the great mass of the
American people resent militar-
ism in government in times of
peace and they rise up to smlte
it with the ballot at the first op-
portunity. In Colorado. where
rangers have been used for the
benefit of few of the people
to the detrlment of the rest. the
vote against military government
on November z will surprise
even General Hamrock. who has
had some reason to know how
unpopular 1t Is.

Benjamin Griffith, standpat Repub-
lican attorney general Of Colorado In
1911 and 1912. was the candidate for
attorney general on the Progressive
ticket in 1912 and for the United
States Senate on the same ticket In
1914. In, those days when Ben was u
Progressive his standpat Republican
friends called him a radical and would
have nothing to do with him pollti-
cally. Now he is candidate for gov
ernor Of Colorado on the Republican
ticket, and the standpat Republicans
all swear by him, though his Progress
sIve friends wonder why he has
backed up. But William E. Sweet, the
Democratic candidate for governor, is
progressive Democrat now. just as
he was ten years ago. This is pro
gressive year, In spite Of what George

the people of Colorado are not seek

has been backwards.

The Republicans tell us that the
rangers have maintained order in the
state during the past two years, and
nearly S245.000 has already been
spent for the support Of the
ranger army. But the Republican
legislature in 1921 appropriated
100000 from the national defense
fund for the suppression of riots
and instructions in Colorado dur
ing the biennial period. and lot
of that has been spent, too. And don't
forget that this appropriation was en-
tirely distinct from the 100000 mp
propriated from the same fund to sup
port the rangers.

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

Some time ago. when 1000 900 work

Idle and Colorado farmers had all sold
their wheat for about 80 cents a
bushel, a few of us got the idea that
maybe we were not quite SO prosper.

George Shaw, Republican Moses for

emergency tariff had fixed everything
UP all right and we bought five cent

The spectators had all the wheat by
that. time and the price went up
around $1.4O bushel, Just like George
said 1t would.
But pretty soon the farmers
threshed another crop of wheat. and
when they began to haul 1t to market
they found that the price had gone
down. in spite of that emergency tar
iff. Colorado farmers again sold for
around 80 cents, sometimes little
less. Our fine Colorado peaches also
brought the growers about so cents a
bushel, though the rest Of the people
in the state, who were urged to can
them and help the growers. paid from
$1.75 to So a bushel for them. Pots-

less than so cents . hundred pounds

look like George Shaw had ma1e q

French Attitude
Delays US. Genoa
Meeting Decision

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The at
titude of France toward the proposed
economic and financial conference at
Genoa next month has resulted in
further postponing the decision of
this government on the invitation to
participate, ii was learned today in
official circles. The White House
announced last Tuesday that Ameri-
cas- reply to the invitation was TO
have been made public today.
The request of Premier Poincare of
France that the conference be post
poned at least three months for more
careful advance preparations, it was
understood. was received here today
and caused a furry in diplomatic
circles. Later the state department
denied that the proposal had been
received.
Secretary Hughes conferred at
length with President Harding after
the regular cabinet meeting and it
was understood the economic con-
ference was discussed.
The President was unable 10 meet
representatives Of the press this af-
ternoon and Secretary Hughes de-
clined to meet them. Belief prevailed
in official quarters today that tho
action of the French premier had
forestalled any reply from this coun-
try to Italys invitation. II was said
that a conference with France absent
would be virtually no conference and
in some circles the belief was ex-
pressed that no action would be
taken in the invitation OF Italy at this
time

REINFORCEMENT OF
MADALYvVE TRACED
BY STATE COUNSEL
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wlre1

Los ANGELES, Feb. 10.-Details
OF the Staying of j. Bolton Kennedy
and of the life of Madalynne c. Oben-
chain, on trial charged with his
murder, were related to the jury to-
day by witnesses called by the state.
Close descriptions of the wound
that caused Kennedy's death were
given by w. M. Strother and j. W.
Musselman, undertakers.
Strother said the place where the
shot entered was Jagged and about
as big as a dollar" adding that he
found two buck shot and two wads
from a shot gun cartridge in it. The
.wads and shot were introduced in
evidence.
Defense counsel brought out that
Strother found in the effects of the
slain man $780, two band rings set
with stones, and six keys. Counsel
said the significance of this would
be developed later
So closely did the prosecution trace
the movements Of the defendant dur
ing her residence in a hotel here just
prior to Kennedy's Staying, that they
developed through James McCabe and
Roy Emery, hotel clerks, the num-
Der of telephone calls she made and
instances upon which she made cas-
ual visits TO the hotel office.
With the resumption of the trial
next Tuesday the state plans to call
William Mclaughlin, an employe CT
a telegraph company, to testify as 10
messages alleged to have been sent
by Mrs. Obenchain, in Los Angeles,
to Arthur Burch, her co-defendant, in
Chicago, asking Burch to hurry TO
Los Angeles.

was only one eighth of that sug-

Among the documentary stamp
taxes doubled are those on real

rates are fifty cents where the sum
exceeds 800 and does not exceed
