ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS.

Not later than next Tuesday
The TRIBUNE will send in the
amount received for the soldiers
medal fund. 1t should not be nee
essary to again bring the matter
to the notice of our readers. The
circumstances that make it neces-
sary to raise the required amount
by popular subscription have
been fully set out in former
issues of this paper, and the i'm
portance of Florence meeting a
fair share has received decided
emphasis. Only few more days
remain in which to act. No mat
ter how small the amount, it will
be cheerfully and gratefully re-
ceived by the committee having
the matter in hand. The Colorado
soldiers honored the state in I'M
dergoing dangers and hardships
of which the civilian is hardly able
to conceive. and the people of the
state will come short of their duty
if they do not EN- brace this oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation

MONEYS DUE THE STATE.
Foreign Corporations Have Been
Evading the Law.

Investigations being made in the
office of Secretary of State Beck
with show that more than $4,000
which can be collected is due the
state from corporations which have
so far failed to pay the bulk of their
incorporation fees due the state.
The plan has been for foreign
corporations filing in Colorado to
capitalize at much less than they
are rated in their parent state and
thus avoid a large percentage of
the incorporation fees. The dis
covery of few days ago that S.
600 was due from the Pullman com
pany because it capitalized here at
only 100000 instead of 81 10000
has led to a general investigation
under Mr.. Beckwith's direct su-
pervision. He is said to believe
that other shortages of this kind
will swell the total due the state
more than $4,000 perhaps $685.

A COrlrlON SENSE VIEW.

The outlook is, if the smelters
open up, the work must be done
by imported men, and il the smelt-
ers are compelled, by the obstinacy
of local smeltermen, to look else
where for laborers it is right
they have, and they, with their la
borers, should be protected. If
the laborer thinks more of the I'M
ion than he does of his family, he
must not expect the sympathy of
the public, who are the great losers
by his folly. The smelter trust
has as much right to select its own
employees as the union has to say
who it will work for. The union
may dictate the course of its mem
bers, but it has no right to say to
outsiders you can" or you can
not" If the union desires TO ex-
haust its treasury in supporting its
mem bers in idleness, no one de-
sires to forbid them the privilege.
But the union has no right to in
terfere with those who are willing
to work, nor have they the right
the professional jawsmith claims,
of impeding industry or in any
way interfering with personal
rights TO the detriment of progress
and injury of the public good AS
a social organization, organized
for mutual instruction, pleasure
and profit. the union is a good
thing, but when it starts in as a
law maker, 'or disturber of the
peace, it is good thing to be
squelched. The suggestion of in
dependent workingmen toorgauize
against the tyranny of the union
is a good one and should receive
hearty support and endorsement.
1t is question of self-defense, le-
gal and justifable, and a logical
result of the dictatorial position
taken by the union. Mining

A Communication.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: In your issue
of July 9th you had an editorial
copied from the Colorado Demo
crat written by Frank p. Warner
| am astonished to see man of
his ability express such views in
this day and age, and of you TO
copy it. Mr.. Warner is ten years
behind the times even in ignorance
A person not educated had just
as well say that mathematics was
not practical just because he did
not understand them. No one who
has the least idea of the socialistic
doctrine will compare it with an
archy. The present useless waste
of the competitive system is an
archy in its fullest sense. There
is no more successful business en-
terprise than the Standard Oil Co.
Does it believe in competition?
Does it spend one cent in advertis-
ing except for axle grease in which
it has competitions
You are not good at theories, my
practical friend. This competitive
theory is rank blockheadism.
Suppose two men had to get
cart upa hill; would they get it up
sooner if one tried to push it up
while the other tried to push it
down? Suppose two men had to
catch colt; which would be the
wiser plan, for each man to try to
prevent the other from catching it,
or for each man TO help the other?
And this your competitive sys-
tenn exactly.
People have fallen into the
stupid error of surprising that COM
petition is better than cooperation
partly because they have never
seen anything but competition in
practice, and partly, because they
have not the proper enlightenment,
Mr., Warner says that ''competi-
ton is the stimulus to effort"
Would Dewey and his men have
fought the battle of Manila any
different if they had been employ
ed by corporation in place of the
government? mol Patriotism,
love of country, and love of admi-
ration. spurs a man on, aside from
hope of reward or riches.
What would Mr.. Warner think
of a corporation to police Chicago.
or corporation to protect any
large city from fire? Why did he
favor municipal ownership of the
Florence waterworks?
Is there more economical or
better conducted business than the

convention In this Western State whore wom-

nomination for one OF the important oflces,
and IL was no mean ONCE. either, could not
agree on q man for the place, Now, two women
had been booming themselves for the office.
Both held small oflces. but nobody had taken
their candidacy seriously until II was decided
that perhaps o woman on the ticket might set
tie differences. The names OF the two women
were discussed. Both we're described as sit
ting at that moment on a back flight OF stairs
weeping their eyes out. Both had made equally
good records. One was fat and about 80. The
other was about %. snappy and slender. The
deciding word rested with a young man, who
finally laughingly said:
boys. Mrs. A.. is too fat. Let's take Miss B.
I'm a few moments Miss b. had the Joy ofhear-
ing that she was the chosen candidate. She has
kept on rising to this day, but she doesn't
know that her chance was due solely TO the
other woman's thirty pounds extra weight.

got that nomination. or course there are some
