i GREAT TASK OP C. O. P. .
The great task of the Republi
can party when k. ahall be re
stored to .jpower will be one
which has heretofore fallen to It
after a ' Democratic administra
tion. It r will . be remembered
that one of the first of the early
act of the Cleveland administra
tion'was to sell bonds to secure
money to replenish a depleted
treasury. The. naralysis of in
dustry and diminution of income
under the Democratic tariff laws
made it necessary or the, Gover
nment to secure some extraordi
nary income other -than that
from i ordinary, ''venueJ';, The
Cleveland bonds were left for a
Republican ! ' administration to
pay. , A. similar experience' was
had after the inauguration of the
WilsoOTadministratioa.'- Long be
fore the United "States' entered
the war and before the, 'United
States ! began preparation for
war, the .Wilson administration
was selling bonds to secure mon
ey with which to run the busi
ness of the Government." Those
bongs, as well a the indebted
ness incurred for the prosecution
of the war, must be paid under
economic policies which the Re
publican party wiS establish,
By restoration of economy and
efficiency In Government and by
the adoption of sound construct'

Salonskl, 82, of West Denver lost jsev'
eral teeth -and 1 carrying Uit face In
Oslp stood on tho corner, smoking a
clgaret end watching with Interest the
oungstera shoot off their exploslvea.
Suddenly a desire to be young, real
young, once more assailed him, and.
stalking np to a near-by booth, he pur.
Chased a whole fistful of firecrackers.
Stepping to the edge of the curb, he
cautiously applied the end of ' his
lighted pijgaret to the fuse of one of the
crackers. ' A epntter and A volley of
little sparks announced that the noise
n on the war. Then Osin'a nientall-
tv failed, to function properly.. W1UI a
quick tacveiuent he; slammed bis clg
aret Into, the street and jammea tne
end of .the firecracker Into, hia tnouth.
A terrific 'crash, . which disengaged
three front teeth and Despecniea nig
face with powder burns, brought Oslp
to the conclusion that all was not just
as It should be. He made a run tor
