Such was the opinion OF Charles $.

some who tho lght different then.

the trouble WAS over several Of the
miners were sent TO prison. Not one Is

the State Board OF Pardons that not one
of the convicted men was guilty Of
the crime for which lie was sentenced.
and all werc released. so the charge
that they were ,1w-breakers falls to
the ground.
The attorney general OF the state Mt

this to say OF ihem:

Mr. Thomas said in support u thcs,
resolutions:
This occasion Is most serious one
Indeed. would dare to say It Is as
grave n one as the citizens OF our be.
loved state have ever been called upon
to face. The question before us now
Is not one Of local importance. 1t is
dangerously general. II affects not
alone the property aud rights of the
Cripple Creek district, or of those who
reside at Colorado Springs. but It In
wolves the very safety of the liberties
OF every citizen OF the state. II indeed.
its limits are bounded by the borders
OF Colorado.
Some people would have us believe
that this is a question OF labor against
capital. 1t has got far beyond that.
gentlemen. l have said much and
spoken often on the subject OF labor
and capital, and l never said a word
in that connection that | regretted.
and am here TO admit that there are
erros In both organized labor and or
ganized capital do not intend to as.
assail or defend either at this moment
am here for another purpose.
within our state we have n condI-
tion OF affairs that Is disgrace to us.
and which we must help put down.
Wherever he is, or whoever he IL. ev-
cry man in Colorado must be taught to
respect the law. and he must be made
TO respect IL. Whenever n man or n
body OF men so far forget their duties
as to place themselves above the pale
OF the law. they must be classed as
criminals by every honest and law
abiding citizen and made to feel the
fullest effects OF the criminal laws
enacted for his benefit. Those laws
must be applied with all their sever
ity."

with conservation service. To-day's ses-
sions have been filed with unusual power
and conviction and tangible results of the

Rev MIR. Rogers of Rupert this after
noon. Many ministers went home to-day
and several cottages are closed the ma

until the end.
The quiet of the night was broken las
evening in an unusual manner. A kero
scne lamp attached to a tree at the real
of the stand and tent exploded and 4
llaZe of fire shot out, illuminating III,
night for some distance around. The hour
was not so late but that some saw the

Lower Prices Forced Upon the

Demand For the New Article Sluggish
and the Supply Abundant-Firm Mar

dency-New whort Flour Selling Low.
Boston, Aug. 31.--The situation is suCs
that lower prices have been forced upon
the butter trade. With the prospects
of increasing receipts from now on and
I'm view of the very limited demand the
market may he called weak. though there
has been no material slump in values, as
there is considerable confidence with the
members of the trade in an early revival
of the demand. The early fall has In
variably brought out Il better demand
for the purposes of filling the wants of
the retail and jobbing trade. made larger
by the return of families to their homes
after the summer holidays. 1t is this
merchants are confidently looking for.
There has been decline Of about a
half cent in prices quoted during the
past week Here 1S1a cents buys about
the best western creamery in spruce
tubs. though n trifie higher is quoted by
Some members of the trade. Supplies in
large ash tubs are held at around 1SA
cents per pound. Northern New York
assorted sizes are quoted at IL cents,
but are not selling at that price, and
most dealers say that 1Sl9 cents is all
that can BE- obtained. The supply of both
western and York state is full, and pres
sure has to be made to interest buyers.
There is no accumulation Of fine New
Hampshire and Vermont creamery, and
while the demand for II is not very
barge. prices are quite we'll maintained
at 10 to 1919 cents. The demand for fine
box and print butter has been fair, and
sales have been made at 20 to q cents
for northern and 1919 to 20 cents for
western. The lower grades are In full
supply. and. with quiet trade rule easy
in price. Extra Vermont dairy is quoted
al Il cents and New York at 16 cents.
F!rsts rang, from II to u cents. Imita-
ton creamery has been In fair request
at IL to IL cents. and ladle packed at II
