THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GUILLOTlNE."

4 CCORDING to history as it
n is popularity accepted, the
instrument by which criminals
are automatically bcheaded was
invented by Joseph Ignace Gull
lotine, who was also the first vic
tim of the machine. Outside Of
the fact that Doctor Guillotine
neither invented the apparatus
nor perished by it, the general
impression of the matter is fair
iy correct.
The original model for the
guillotine was constructed by a
German piano-maker named
Schmitt, under the direction Of
Doctor Louis, a French surgeon,
who in turn obtained his idea
from the manaja, somewhat
similar instrument which had
been used in the Latin countries
for centuries. At first, the in
ventior1 was known as the
"Louison,' but. owing to the fact
that Doctor Guillotine waged
ceaseless warfare upon the bar
barites of the rack and the
wheel and continually urged the.
adoption of this more humane
method Of inflicting death penal
ty, his name was indelibly as
sociated with it. On March 25,
1892. the national assembly
passed the resolution recon-
mending the use Of the machine
in all French prisons and it was
publicly used a month later in
the beheading of a prisoner
named Pelissier.
Far from perishing by the in
vention, which, despite his pro-
tests, was called by his name,
Doctor Guillotine died in his
bed in 1S14-having achieved a
vicarious fame which he did not
desire and to which he was not
entitled. . .--....s

ment, of law. But now the people,
are growing weary. restless. and 70.
vengcful.
The time has come for the GOV.
ernment to arrest every man who
takes advantage of an emergency
to practise extortion.
This is certainly true of the houf
IN which we are now living.
The government talked about
seizing the coal mines. The gov.
eminent ought to seize not only tho
mines, but everything else that tho
pro6teer is trying to use for tho
purpose of extorting from the peo-
pie an unjust and unreasonable
profit
The pro6teer should not Be Al
lowed to do business.
Let the government say TO an
pro6teers: Every time you raise
the price unjustly. the government
will take from you the right and
the license to do business"
This is the only way by which
the suffering public can be quieted
and put at ease This is the way by
which the government can restore
confidence in its sovereignty. IN its
power. and in its justice.

County Roads
and Funds

Complaint may be made of the con-
dition of the roads in Crowley county.
the newly s?aded roads. but the com
missioners hrve done the right thing
in working them as they have the
past sumner. There was the State
road fund tc he used. If not used
this road building season the county
would lcse il BY doing the grading
that has been done. and that is consid-
erable. the money has not only been
left to circulate here but excellent
road-beds will be the result of 1t.
1t has been suggested at times that
the work should have been allowed to
stand until it rained, but rain seems
to be lost art here and had that
been done Crowley county would
have had to contend with worse
roads for longer time AS soon as
moisture does come these newly
graded roads will be dragged and
then is when we will appreciate what
the commissioners have done.

EINALLY our charming women
L folk have bowed to the inevitable
and given the gate to the short
skirt. Soon sight of tapered ankle
will be spoken of as something that
existed in -the good old days
Women of course will be chided
for their weakness They have pro-
tested that the short skirt is healthy
and comfortable, and tried TO keep
it in the mode, but what are the
poor things to do when the whole
sale dressmak.rs just won't MAKE
short skirts. The girls must buy
what they arc offered or nothing.
And where's the harm7 The change
means more cloth used, more mill
hands at work, more business IN
the stores. The much derided
changing mood OF our women folk
has kept the wheels OF industry
moving many year.

How Democrats outside the
state feel on the Ranger issue
was revealed in talk by a
Texas men before the Young
Republicans of Denver last
week. He explained that al
tho Texas was an overwhelm-
ingly Democratic state it had
had a body of Rangers for
years, and that a Democrat
who advocated the abolition of
the Rangers would find himself
out of step with his party.
Many Democrats in Colorado
feel the same way.

County Treasurer

George A. Walker is the Republic
an nominee for County Treasurer.
He is the present Treasurer, serving
his first term in that very important
office Mr.. Walkers efficiency was
shown when the State audit of his
books were made. The auditors
found the books kept in excellent
manner and perfect condition. 1t
was unnecessary to make a single
change and hardly a suggestion. That
is a record of which to be proud
when it is realized that Mr.. Walker
handles from 100000 to $500, 900
a year. 1t, of necessity, requires
very careful book work for account
ing of the funds Furthermore he
does everything he can to give the
public the very best of service and
has their interests in mind at all
times.
Mr.. Walker was in business in Sug-
ar City for several years and gained
good knowledge of business in gem
eral in that way No better man
could be found for the position.
Mr.. Walker is active in community
affairs and has Always identited
himself with the best things in a
community, and has stood for ad-
vancement in every way.

Oh, What a
Difference

In 1874 Colorado was torn with
an insurrection. Coal miners We're
on strike. Communists and
syndicalists at once took leadership
of that strike Property was de-
stroyed. Tipples were burned.
Tunnels We're sealed by dynamite.
Men who wanted to work were in
timidated, abused. mutilated and
killed. The State was forced to call
out the National Guard.
Then the venom directed against
the men who wanted to work was
turned to these soldiers of the State
They were charged with all kinds of
crimes. A general campaign against
these loyal boys, many of whom
afterwards went to France-and
some of them did not come back
was inaugurated. Even good cit
izens, deceived by the well directed
propaganda of falsehoods emanating
frcm syndicalist ard communist
sources. implored the Governor to

Colorado, permitting no man to
work. destroyed property, ruthlessly

soldiers of the State, and openly

into the field. Finally Fedora
troops came to uphold constituted

ress in Colorado-the coal miners
and the railroad shopmen. There
has been practically no disorder.
Men who wanted to work have work
ed and supported their families.
No property has been destroyed.
No lives have been lost. The auth
ority of the State has not been de-
fled. Business has gone on in a
normal way. There has been no
attempt on the part OF the syndical-
ist and communist to overthrow the
State government. Savings ac-
wage-earners. have increased. Men
with money have. without hesitancy.
invested in the State. Many new
industries have come to Colorado,
and the protection is paid for by
the Hat tax on corporation.
WHY THE DIFFERENCE?
In 1874 Colorado had no police
force. Syndicalists and communists
with their disturbing and lawless
followers were able to eNpound and
carry on their work without in
terference. They always operate in
States where there is little or no
police protection for the people.
In 1922 Colorado had an efficient
police force in the form of the
Rangers. Syndicalists. communists.
and their disturbing and lawless
followers. made little attempt to
operate in this State for fear of
proper punishment.
William f Sweet. the Democratic
candidate for Governor, stands for
the abolition of the Rangers. He

pathy for their work. He SAYS he
would invite them to Colorado to
operate undisturbed If William f.
Sweet is elected Governor it means a
return to conditions such as those
experienced in 1874.
