epublican in that Personally, he high
broad mind The Forest Reserve system his
monument and this time when such effort being
mpde to destroy it, his election to the governorshp of
the Keystone state will make for putting the brakes on
the other crooks who desire loot the national
resources His is another indication how Sc
is the revolt against this administration Mighty
few administration congressman senators will live
through the coming struggle and the of the Pres
whip will send the congress scurrying
for cover.
MILLIONS of German soldiers dead in the great
war; through fault of theirs They obeyed soldiers
did everywhere Their mouldering bodies worth
kaiser who gave them the orders writing his
memoirs and will be paid million dollars for the writ
ing-Arthur Brisbane.
And in opinion the treatment of soldiers
compares quite harmoniousy with that of the wrecked
German government. True but there is evil
dence of the fact in the surroundings of the who
made victory possible The proeers of this country
sembe the Kaiser closely Surrounded by the vast for
they acquired by the suerings of conscrpted la
boring they utterly ignore common rules of
gratitude Efforts grant additional compensation
with refusal by hypocrtica administration that
millions and billions for subsidies to railroads and
ship owners but cannot spare dollar for justice to the
and diseased soldiers .whQ made the sacrifice.
Not word of denunciation be truthfuly said of
the Kaiser that cannot equally be hurled at the
who pushed this country into the and amassed mil

OUR friend Rawalt of the Gunnison Empire is the
favors % William Sweet for governor as against Uncle
Billy Adams then Rawalt always likes to be the
says.-Grand Junction News.
Fortunately there many other papers that sup
port Mr.. Sweet However, course is DOM
mated by what others say do Mr. Sweet nearly
represents what constitutes good guberna
torial timber than other suggested Like Henry
Ford, Mr.. Sweet is really big business But he
combines with his wealth regard for the interests of
the people of the state He regards people i'm
porant than property. He is fundamentally right and
has been for many years, and for all the time have
known him. he has been fighting peoples battle. At
this time when the forces of reaction are trying to elect
a democrat nearly like Shoup that will be unable
any difference between the past and the coming
administration will be victory for the produc
ing laborng if Wm Sweet is elected instead.
And if will Observe progressive ideas rampant
battalion after battalion of the old guard going
down in the primaries east and west Even in their cit

i ANENT the Ku Klux Klan agitation, would like
to suggest: First there is in this country for
law enforcement In itself it abrogates
all law. To stop it effectually merely outuaw it. Let
there be permanent open season on Ku Kux and all
other mob organizations. You will observe that when
Ku Klux mob shot up in California, it put crmp
in the Invisible Empire that bids fair to destroy it
Every and woman is justified in killing masked
who attacks them. Let there be deadly shoot

THE opportunity afforded the Governor appoint
Supreme judge to take the place of Judge Bailey
expected to result in the appointment of Republican
Still it is somewhat surprising to with what
from the hundreds of egbes His Exceency selects the
man of all men, who has demonstrated his fitness from
: the standpoint of the predatory interests.
OUT of the welter of candidates for Governor the
Democratic ticket have been earnestly watching for
the the Denver Hghbinders will support So far
his but this editor is informed that the proper
time will be suddenly discovered that nothing but John
T. Barnett possibly the Democratic ticket. We
would not for worlds embarrass old friend Julius by
announcement of his candidate but nasmuch
as for Wm E. Sweet, feel if his actual op
ponent should be troted and opportunity for
parison of their running qualities afforded.

Well, Gen. Wrange will get another wrangng that will
do him and his allies good He chased of Russia
once and this time hope he will become a permanent
resident under their fertile soil
1T takes a brave Republican editor to keep stiff
upper lip in times like these Every day brings fresh
news of political disaster The President
