TIE notion of increasing the stand
ing army of the United States to 100,
900 men is steadily gaming ground
Heretofore the expense of maintaining
such an army has initiated against
such measure, and besides, the boast
of the country has been its citizen
soldiery-the militia. But sentiment is
changing with the times. and the recent
outrages against law and order under
cover of the railroad strike, and the
bloody threats of anarchists who stood
ready to take advantage of the DIS
turbance have caused people to do
some thinking. 1t has been demon
strated that the regular troops are the
most effective and by reason of being
in the employ of the government there
is less resentment against them, and for
these reasons taken with the demand
for better protection, there is likely to
be some Legislation in that direction
before long, Indeed it is safe to say
that congress is already considering
such a measure.

EVERY right thinking man and women
in Colorado knows that next after the
free coinage Of silver, the greatest help
that could possibly come to the state
would be the recalling of eastern and
foreign capital to assist in developing
the resources of the state and to start
up new enterprises Colorado has
within her borders great possibilities
and rich resources, but it takes capital
to develop them and the people look
in large measure to the money centers
for aid. Unfortunately the breach
which has been made the last year he
tween the classes of capital and labor
by the unwise policy of the chief ex-
ecutive of the state has checked the
inflow of money and created a CORE
spending depression in business circles
1t matters not who is governor, be he
populist, republican or democrat. if by
being over Jealous for personal gains or
otherwise he antagnizes capital he be-
comes a foe instead of friend to the
laboring classes. 1t takes money to
create labor, and without labor there
is everywhere want and discomfort.
1t is absolutely necessary for the pros
perity of Colorado, then, that hereafter
the administration of the affairs of the
state be SO conducted that investment
shall be encouraged in order that labor
may be employed, and happiness and
plenty once more smile on mountain
top. valley and plain.

IT is doubtful If town can be found
in the entire west today where there is
any more actual business going on in
proportion to the population than there
is in Pueblo. True, the steel works
are not what they used to be. and the
several smeltcrs are not running more
than at half capacity, but steel works
and smelters are not to be found in
many towns and better poor runs than
none at all. The commercial trade is
fair and the business outlook is no
worse if not better. Pueblo is solid
town built to keep abreast Of the times
and will boom with the return of q
revival Of trade.

CHINA and Japan might go into
actual war. and will unless there be
Intervention from the civilized powers.
Japan claims that her powerful nsighbor
provoked conflict because Of her OPP
preston in Corea, while China says the
Japanese are aching for fight and
thinks she can win with her strong
navy. China has 100000. 900 people
while Japan has only 35,00O.O00. and
1t looks as though there could be but
one result unless Russia takes sides
with Japan and licks China with Eng
land thrown in. There is glorious
opportunity for the dogs of war not
only in the Orient but in Europe to be
turned loose.

THE Denver News is the unques-
toned leader of the populists in this
state. II Governor Waite is re-nom-
mated the News will not support him
and 1t Is almost certainty that he will
be re.nominated. Here's critical
situation for the populists. They will
be divided, the democrats are already
divided on important party issues,
while the republicans arc standing
together. The deduction is easy.

Tom Bradford has given first-class
satisfaction as justice of the peace, and
what is hard thing to do he has made
many friends while in that trying
position. A justice has hard row to
hoe on account of so many conflicting
claims coming before him, and he is
often made to suffer for the false
promises held out by attorneys to
their hopeful clients. But Mr.. Brad
ford has gone through it all with an
abiding faith in the good sense of the
public at large, and the verdict has
been that he has done we'll. As he ex-
poets to come before the people again
for reelection his party is looked to
in the approaching primaries for re-
nomination.

ANOTHER CHANCE, INDEED,


The Seattle Press Times insists that the
Republican psrtyI eeds another vote in the
United States senate. In order tn obtain
tina, vote it urges Governor McGraw to
call an extra session OF the legislature tn
elect Republican senator land give the
Republican party an opportunity to take
care Of itself"
Such Coarse work as this is the evidenre
the people OF the state have that the ex-
tra-session movement is partisan to the
core, Notwithstanding contrary protests-
tons
But the idea that Governor McGraw
should, at the expense and humiliation
OF the taxpayers OF Washington, give
the Republican parry another opportu-
,unity u take rare OF itself" is supfemely
ridiculous.
Has 10. -aie Republican party. for more
.nsH a quarter I'll century, had abund-
ant opportunity TO take care Of itself
And has it not done so? Do not the

money ITO enact and enforce tariff
law that would encourage and enlarge its
own industrial enterprises and thus fos-
ter the interests OF horne labor and cut
off the possibility OF starvation among
our own wage earBers?
Has it not enjoyed opportunity and
legislative power to do all OF these things
and more? And what is the result?
Alarming conditions OF anarchy have
grown in us corrupt wake. The public
treasury has teen looted until today il il
in condition of shameful depletion.
Domestic industries are dormant and the
dust of iIleDess has accumulated upon
the machinery OF our mills and factories
and shops where hundreds Of thousands
OF destitute toilers should be happily
employed In earning for their distressed
families the bread and butter on which
they must subsist.
