Mr.. 0rman'S Record as
Nm Employer Of Labor.

err hand, 1t is well known that such
work as il required on grades is now
better paid than since the early nine
ties, a fact that is due almost entirely
to Mr.. Orman himself, who was the
pioneer in the upward tendency of the
pay.
The Courier office is usually the first
place where men come who have been
ill-treated by their employers, and we
can truthfnily say that never since we
have been printing this paper has there
ever been a single complaint of unfair
treatment against Mr.. Orman, or the
firm of Orman & Crook, and we are
justified in the assumption that IL there
was trouble of any kind we would have
certainly heard of 1t.
In the spring Of 1897, Mr.. Orman
was the candidate for mayor of Pueb-
10, and he was elected by the laboring
men Of this city. During his admins
tration most Of the river levee was
built, and Mayor Orman saw to 1t that
the eight-hour law was strictly en-
forced on the work. Never complaint
by labor was made during his admins
tration, and careful watch of his acts
while filing that office convinces us
that no laborlng man In Colorado can
AFFORD to vote against him for gov
ernos. especially as vote against him
would have to be cast In favor of Mr..

acter is known to his family and neigh
bors as by nobody else.
Therefore the following, from the Pu-
eblo Courier, representative and
high-class labor paper published at the
home of Hon. ]. b. Orman, fusion can
didate for governor, should be of espe-
cial value in determining Just what is
Mr.. Orman's true status as an extern
sive employer of labor.
We hear 1t frequently said that
James B. Orman. Democratic candidate
for governor, who is the leading con-
tractor In Colorado for railroad grad
ing and building, is unusually severe
on the men who work for him or the
firm Of Orman & Crook. We desire at
this time to refute such statements,
and to correct all erroneous impress
sions that have been circulated for eff
feet by the wolcott hirelings. For
many years the firm of Orman & Crook
has been engaged In railroad work all
over the West. employing thousands Of
workmen, and not one case of wrong

Looking out For Alma Mater.

No doubt the casual observer has of.
ten noticed how INCREASINGLY bequests
flow into the treasures of certain uni
versities. but lie may not know that
the alumni of those institutions. partic.
ularly the lawyers, have 1t always on
their minds to secure, or at least TO
suggest, bequests.
One OF these men, a prominent cor
poration lawyer Of this city, was speak.
ing of the custom the other day. He
explained that n lawyer and his client
usually sit down to talk over the gen.
eral subject of will. If the client has
more than enough money TO meet the
actual needs of his family, he common
ly says something of charitable or edu.
cational institutions, generally in a
vague way, which makes 1t quite nat
ural for his lawyer to suggest as def.
inite object his own alma mater. The
lawyer referred to had himself secured
several bequests. one of them for the
sum of 100000. But" said he, smil
ing, "a young lawyer in my office has
just cut me out of 100000, which he
put in will for his own almtfnater
1t was n very good stroke on his part
