million dollars more. Business blocks
and residences bring up the total well
toward $5.OOO.OOO
All of this money-all of this $751;
OO0,OOO-is money not now in circula-
ton in Colorado. A largr part of 1t
will come from the East in exchange
for stocks and bonds and other securi-
ties. From the East will come the
money for the library. and for the pub
lie improvements. And what money
does not come from the East will come
out of vaults. 1t is money which Colo
RADIO people have been holding until
the time seemed ripe for investment,
and which they are now going to put
in circulation.
1t was proved again and again by
political economists in the currency
discussions of few years ago that an
increase of $40 per capita in the circu-
lating medium meant great prosperity
and business activity. But here is an
increase of $40 per capita. 1t does
not take much of a political economist
to see what this means for the pros
perity and development of the state in
the next few years.

amounts likely to be expended soon:

One Row of Corn es Miles Long.

Kansas is simply inexhaustible in
the matter of oddities. Just when it
might be supposed that she had run
the whole gamut, she appears with an.
other novelty such as nobody else in
all the wide world would ever have
thought of.
For example, Kingman county
farmer is growing row of corn little
more than twenty-five miles long for
no other reason than to be singular and
extraordinary. He commenced in a fif-
ty-acre field and went round and
round in circle with lister until he
had planted the whole in a single row
which commences at one of the edges
and terminates in the middle. When
he cultivated it, Of course he had to
plough the same way. AS appearan-
ces go the field will make as much crop
as it would if planted in the ordinary
way.

Serious Business.

1t Hanybody in the coal region gets hurt by the
troops it will be his own fault, and there will be
no call for mitigation afterward because he is an
innocent citizen who meant no harm. The stu.
alton about the mines is serious, and everybody
understands it. Nobody, man or woman, boy or
girl, striker or worker, has any excuse for think
ing the soldiers are out for picnic. They are
out to preserve order, and if there are manifest
ations of disorder they are likely to fire, and not
fire blank cartridges. Therefore all persons who
do not care TO be hit, and have no intention them
selves to break the law, should have the good
sense to avoid the neighbood of any threatened
outbreak. Otherwise, if while merely trying to
see what is going on, they and not the active
rioters get in the line of bullets they will have
only themselves to blame. 1t is proverbial that
the innocent on-looker generally falls in riot
but the innocent on-looker is at perfect liberty
to keep out of the way of danger; and SO are the
angry women who often in time of labor troubles
presume on their sex in expecting immunity
whileindulging in unlawful demonstrations. The
attacks already made on the soldiers guarding
the mines, especially the night attempts to steal
upon the sentries, have produced an uncomfort-
able tension. The troops will be perfectly justi-
fled in protecting themselves against threatened
attacks. They have given warnings enough
they have drawn their lines with detiniteness, and
those who encroach must know that they do so
at their peril.
Orders to use ball cartridges and shoot to kill
seem harsh, but it is probable that they are the
greatest kindness to the whole people, after all.
Disorder feeds on ITSELF and serious riots almost
always take their beginning from lawlessness tol-
Grated so long in its pettier stages that people
come to think there is no line which they may
not cross with lmpunity. If the first outbreak
invariably drew upon itself sharp punishment it
would be necessary to call out troops far less
frequently. Soldiers who let themselves be
played with simply provoke condition which

in the emo is likely 70 call for more severe meas
ures than would have been necessary to put down
the first manifestation of disorder. 1t is evident
that few miscreants are anxious to make trouble
at the collieries. They are the men who try to
steal on the camps at night, whether to assassin
ate soldiers or to disable horses. The strike
leaders declare that these skulkers have no fel-
lowship with them. They discountenance all
lawlessness, and wish as much as anyboy to see
rioters punished. They therefore should support
the troops in the most strict discharge of their
duty, so that the disorder OF the few may not by
liberation be allowed to spread and include any
large number of strikers, whose lawlessness
would bea severe blow to the union, according
to Mr. Mitchell, and its suppression perhaps the
