Oh, Thou. who dost exalt the
mighty and put down those of low
degree, crush we beseech thee, the
struggles of the Filipinos for indie
pendence. Force them to recognize
that freedom is only the right ofthe
stronger races and that. although
they are willing to die for it, they
are not fit 70 i've in it. May they
and all men forget the Declaration
OF independence. or if they remern-
der it may they also remember that
il was not intended to apply to Ma
lays. Strengthen in US the pride of
men and the exalting conviction
that we are not as other men are.
Help us TO scorn the Filipinos as
children unworthy of the rights
which our ancestors had from the
days of barberism. May we SUBJ
iect them to alein military rule
knowing that this is the school in
which self-government and manhood
are developed. May our people for
get that the Filipinos had establish
ed a government in which life and
property were secure before we COM
manded them to lay down their
arms, and enable the voters to re-
joice when they read of villages des.
troyed for the preservation of prop
erty and men killed for the preser-
vation Of life. Forbid, o Lord.
that we should treat the Filipinos
as we have treated the countries of
Spanish America in the past, pro-
tecting them against foreign aggres-
sion and permitting them the gov
ernment of their choice. Aid us in
our war of subjugation to the end
that we may use the Filipinos to
extend our trade-and thy Glory

Convention Of April 9. 1900.

To the small stock growers o.

We earnestly call your attention
to the following vital facts in rela-
ton to your convention to be held
in the Chamber of Commerce build.
ing in Denver. April 9TH. 1860.
That committe of the National
Live Stock Growers association
met in Denver March 23rd to draft
"a new leasing bill.
That Representative Stevens, OF
Texas, introduced new leasing bill
in Congress March 73rd.
That the governors OF the west
ern states meet in Salt Lake City,
April 10th. 1900. to draft a bill for
the ceding of the public lands to the
several states.
That the resurrection of the de-
funct Colorado Stock Growers as
sociation to meet on April 10th, tine
day after your convention is called,
and before yours can probably ad-
journ, is for the sole purpose Of con-
fusing the public. and tc neutralize
the effect. and seemingly to absorb
your conve ltion--thus defeating
the objects for which you are striv-
ing. viz, the preservation of the
public range as it now is. and al
ways has been.
We earnestly urge your stock as
sociation and your county commits
sioners to appoint full delegations
of men imbued with the stern neces-
sity of making this convention a
success---one in which Your voices
will be heard and needed in this
question Of utmost Importance to
your continued prosperity.

The Denver Republican says, "A
fall festival of some description is a
certainty" If it had said fall
robbery Of some description was a
certainty, il would have been nearer
the truth. Denver's disposition to
bleed the balance of the state has
become so chronic that almost any
thing may be expected.

The Democratic nationafcepyen-
tion can add tremendous voteNc
the ticket by putting plank in fhe
platform, providing for the election
of president and United States sen
ators by adirect popular vote. The
sentiment of majority of the peo-
pie is with such move. They are
tired of the plan that permits man
to buy his way into the United
States Senate. When that plan
was thought out by our fore fathers
they did not dream that the country
would ever reach the state Of cor
ruption that exists today. The
plan is no longer in the interests Of
the people; they have no voice in
the matter, but are compelled to
submit to the scheming and corrrp-
tion of fsome corporation or combine.
The only remedy for the evil is in
a direct popular vote and the Dem
ocratic party-the party ofthe COM
mon people---is the one to take up
the work of applying the remedy.
Every delegate to the national con-
vention should be instructed to work
for direct popular vote plank in the
platform, along with the other good
things.
