ROOSEVELT IN COLORADO.

The Victor Democrats of Colorado
have met the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt.
They have heard him speak and by
mobbing him they have come into per-
sonal contact with him. They have
found that bis beliefs are strong, his
faculty for repartee is most happy, and
that his body is solidly planted on "a
pair of good legs. guided by cool
head and backed by stout heart.
Bryan makes soft apology for the
Colorado mob. We Will assume that
1t was made IN innocence. But the
mob attacked Roosevelt shouting Bry-
ans name coupled with the unmistak-
able slogan OF rlOt-'C0eur d 'Alene."
If the Colorado Democrats never had
the sense OF shame before they should
have II now.--New York Sun.

the miners There Is no doubt thai
many thousands of the miners wonid
be glad to go hack to work ut the ten

are afraid, however, OF being stigma
tixed as ''scabs." and they know that
II they do go to work. their lives aud

and destruction.
II 1t be crime to try to encourage
more cordial relations between employ

persuade employers to offer their em-
ploys ten per cent. advance In wages;
II Il be a crime to try to settle amica-
bly, strike which threatens disturb
ance and riot in more than one state
OF the Union, and which IL prolonged
would inevitably cost the miners more
money than they could make in months
OF labor-if all these things are crimes.
