Let the people of Crested Butte
have self-respect enough to not
resort 10 calumny in the campaign

OF dishonesty, yet honesty is The

ish sentiments is past. The ingrates
who inhabit the contested territory
should be taught a severe lesson.
The country is already tired of
their conduct and will doubtless
bring about a change of policy by
this government. Adhesive policy,
from the administration is called
for. If the territory is to be held
by the United States it is well to
accomplish the subiugation of the
natives, but if not, the American
soldiers and sailors should not lie
sacrificed on account of the worth

John Ruskin possessed a mind
OF wonderful scope and power, but
when he said that the greatest
thing a human soul ever does in
this world is to see something, and
tell what it saw in Il plain way,
the great writer on art had 10 con
ception of what it would cost in
these latter days for one to dare to
tell all he sees.

The ST. Louis Worlds Fair in
1903 calls for as much money in
city, county, state and federal ap-

purchase cost in 1903. In those

almost beyond ordinary compre-
hension, but it will now be spent
as a matter of course in an educa-
tional exposition to commemorate
the centennial. Could more strik-
ing evidence of the development of
the country be produced2

4 number of foreigners who have
been employed in the Lake City
district have recently gone to un-
usual lengths in defiance of both
local and federal authority. They
have committed deeds of direst
treachery and high treason. Such
people are a constant menace to
peace and progress and should be
taught lesson as q guide for their
future department. They under
mine American citizenship and
have tendency to bring our Amer
ican bred workingmen down to a
level with their unfortunate con-
dition. The participants in the
outrage at Lake City have terror
lied that section for weeks, and in
order to protect life and property
it was deemed expedient to call out
the militia. The troops arrived on
the scene Friday and it is to be
hoped that the criminally inclined
foreigners will receive a wholesome
lesson for the impunity with which
they regard the laws of this nation.

The present social status of the
world shows no improvement over
the ancient and medieval periods.
Society smiles and fawns upon the
prosperous, and fairly grovels at
the feet of wealth. Gold is the
standard of its weights and meas
ures of men. It's morals are even
guaged in a similar manner. The
unfortunate and poor are hkened
unto the dust trodden beneath the
feet. We condemn the jews for
their persecution of Christ, but
would He have Jared any better
in this professedly enlightened age?
Did He not go about preaching to
the people and denouncing usury?
Was He not poor and without
where to lay His head?" In these
days the latter might have been
reconstructed to read: "With no
visible means of support" which
in this advanced stage of mociery
is construed as a crime regardless,
