WONDER how many of the
10000 coal miners in the an
thracite regions of Pennsylvania
who are out on a strike, realize
that we have prosperity" with
a big P? They used to mine
24oO pounds of coal for ton
and earn $3.50 a year for it.
Now the miners ton has been
increased to 27OO pounds, his
grocery bill, clothing bill, fuel
bill and rent bill have increased
20 to 80 per cent, but he still
earns but $3.50 a year-or less
than 80 cents for each working
day in the year, to keep an av-
erage family of five. Do you
wonder that he strikes, against
that kind of prosperity?

ssTHE plain duty" of every
voter is, to be governed in his
ballot by intelligence and COM
mon sense. If you believe in an
American republic, not an en-
pire; in the right to compete and
the opportunity to compete; in
special privileges to none and
equal rights to all; in honest and
economical government; in the
Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United
States, then vote the democratic
ticket and for the candidates
who stand for all these. If you
honestly believe in the govern
ment of this country by a hand
full of millionaires; if you believe

commissioners OF this county TO
consider at the regular monthly
meeting to be held next week.
The Fries home at Pueblo has
been abandoned. The furniture of
the institution was packed mp last
week by the Rev. Sheppard and
shipped to this city, where it will
be stored until the necessary funds
are secured to establish new
home. Mr.. Stonaker informed US
that there were forty seven chill
dren in the home at the time OF
the tragedy. OF this number ten
were sent TO the state home for de-
pendent children in Denver, seven
teen were returned to the care of
relatives and the rest have been
provided for by the associated
charities OF Pueblo. Rev. Fries
has been granted letters of guard
ianship on seven OF the children,
and these he will probably demand
to form the nucleus OF the institu-
ton he contemplstes establishing
in this city. 1t is the intention to
start the home with limited num-
Der OF children, which will be in
creased as the necessary funds are
secured Mr.. Flies is acknow-
ledged to be past master in the
art OF soliciting funds, and the very
moral and christian argument is
used that the establishment OF the
home IN this city would result in
the expenditure OF from $500 to
5000 per month with our merchants
most OF which would be derived
from outside sources. This is what
they term looking at the enterprise
from business standpoint. The
commissioners of Pueblo county
will tell you that the Fries home
in that city was never business
proposition at all. but was simply
the outgrowth of sickly sentimen-
tality. Do the citizens of La
Junta want breeder Of pauper-
ism" established in La Junta? 1t
is time to act, for or against.

FRIES. cnIloaeN's HOME.

Do the citizens OF La unta want
the Fries rescue home for children
established in this city2 Is there
animperative need for such home
in this locality' Are the citizens
OF this community under any moral
or religious obligation to endorse
such movement or encourage the
establishment OF an institution of
this character in our midst3 II
not, we believe that a serious mis-
take is being made in not taking
decisive aud effective measures to
stop this movement before it is
everlastingly too late.
For the past month, or, indeed,
ever since the horrible tragedy that
resulted in the breaking up OF the
children's home in Pueblo, Rev.
A. A. Fries, who was compelled to
flee for his life from that city. and
the Rev. James Sheppard, OF La
]unta, who was secretary Of the in
stitution at the time OF the tragedy,
have been quietly working in this
community enlisting the endorse
ment and financial and moral sup
port OF our leading citizens in an
effort to re-establish the home in
La Junta. They have not met
with any great success, neither
have they encountered any decided
opposition, and because OF this lat
ter fact these two gentlemen ap-
pear to believe that their endeavors
are approved by majority of our
citizens. Such is not the case,
however. We have interviewed
quite a number of our leading citi
zens and have not as yet found one
who believes there is an imperative
need for such an institution in this
city, or who believes that Mr..
Fries has any right to travel over
this and adjoining states gathering
up dependent children and dump
ing his charges upon this or any
other community
A meeting was held at the Meth
odist church last Monday morning,
which was attended by about
twenty-five people and three minis
terial sponsors OF Mr.. Fries from
Pueblo, Rev. J, L. Weaver, Of
the Presbyterian church, Rev. w.
7. Patchell, of the Congregational
church, and Rev. c. S. Early, OF
the Christian church. They be-
lieve that Mr.. Fries has been
falsely accused, unjustly con-
demned, and is very much ma
ligned and prosecuted man. They
believe in MIR. Fries, and think he
is good man worthy of the con-
hdence and respect Of Christian
people. They also assert that per-
sonal observation has convinced
them that Mr.. Fries is competent
to conduct such an institution, de-
spite the fact that they do not deny
the charge that he criminally neg
tected the children. They claim
that 'sstress Of circumstances"
forced Mr.. Fries to employ incom-
petent help and the tragedy re-
suited. T6ey seem to think. how
ever, that Mr.. Fries is not respon-
sibls for the '.stress Of circum-
stances, Z and therefore should be

not appeal 10 the Bood sense oil tne
average mortal. If Mr.. Fries is
not responsible for the stress OF
circumstances, who is? II he IS
not able to finance the institution
and employ competent help he
should not be permitted to travel
over the state rescuing children
from evil surroundings from Dan
to Beersheba, and then import
them into an innocent community
where they eventually become
pauper charges.
A letter addressed to the county
commissioners of Otero county,
written by prominent citizen OF
Pueblo, was received one day this
week, and throws some light on
the orphans home business as con-
Quoted by Rev. Fries. 1t IS as fol-
lows:
'.We were much surprised this
morning to read in the Pueblo
Chieftain that the people OF La
Junta were considering the placing
OF Mr.. Fries in charge OF chill
dren's home at that place.
You are familiar, OF course, with
the recent tragedies in Pueblo.
Mr.. Fries was endorsed by the
ministers OF this city without know
ing anything about him except that
he was a Baptist minister, and be-
fore the people knew what was
going on he had his home estab-
lished. He gathered together
something like fifty-seven children,
only ten of them belonging to Pu-
eblo county. They were brought
here from Wyoming. Kansas, New
Mexico and various counties in this
state. In many instances the par
ents came afterwards and are now
charge upon the charities of our
people.
81 do not believe that anyone
has right to gather up children
in this way. ! am sure that each
county and state should care for
their own. So far as Fries is con-
cerned, he is totally unfit for such
an undertaking. He came very
near losing his life here and ought
to know enough to drop the bust
ness, and ] think he would il he
was not pushed forward by three of
our clergy. am pleased to say
there are only three OF the original
endorsers that would again recon-
mend him.
"Unless the citizens of La Iunta
call meeting and stop this move
ment at once they will find them
selves in the same condition we
were in--an army of children on
their hands and Fries unable to
feed them. The home here was
over 5000 in debt when the mur-
ders occurred.
81 ask you gentlemen to place
yourselves in correspondence with
the county commissioners OF Pueblo
county. and think you will see a
way to protect yourselves.
Mr.. Stonaker, secretary of the
state board of charities, says that
in an interview with the chairman
of the board OF county commits.
sioners Of Pueblo county, that gen
tleman pronounced the Fries home
in Pueblo as a "breeder of pau
perism. In many instances the
parents of the children rescued by
ries followed them to Pueblo and
became charges upon the county.
This will probably be the exper-
fence Of Otero county if the home
is allowed to be established in this
community. The county clerk has
placed himself in correspondence
with the commissioners Of Pueblo
county, as suggested by the writer
OF the above letter. and there will
be some interesting data relative to
the Fries home in Pueblo for the
