Two hundred prominent merchants

enough for them and that hencefortb
they will use only the newspapers for
such advertisements as they may pub

keyboards, charts. programmes. tick

What n lot OF money is spent annu.

cash is sunk in circulars. In dead wall

nouncements every day In the year.
and yet business men keep right or

1t is easy enough for merchants to
prove the relative value of these differ

with straight newspaper advertising.

Of the mine. The bucket became stuck
about 80 feet from the bottom. and Car

BE HONEST YOURSELF

A correspondent OF The News
t>kes The Sentinel to task tor as
serting that the labor movement
does not possess either honest
or competent leadership"
The Sentinel stated nothing of
the kind. Here is what it really
said:-
"Workingmen should not be de-
ceived by the Socialist or other
political side movements of labor
character Past experience proves
that such combinations are usu-
ally formed by few demagogues
with the one purpose Of selling OUT
for their own personal preferment.
There is no possibility for the
workingmen to win through such
movements for they lack strength
and cohesiveness and have not the
essentials OF either honest or COM
petent leadership. By supporting
side ventures the labor element
can accomplish but one thing. and
that the defeat Of the democratic
party, which has proven itself their
best friend"
What is stated above was true
yesterday, is equally true to-day
and will continue true Tomorrow.
1t is not charged that the labor
movement lacks competent or hons
est leadership, but that there side
political movements Of which the
socialist labor is a fair sample are
'nares set by designing politicians
Of a cheap grade. There is wide
difference between real labor lead>
ershipand political labor leadership.
The correspondent alleges that
the "entire organized labor of the
state has endorsed the Bucklin
amenement," while The Sentinel
opposes It, This is also untrue.
Only fraction OF organized labor
in Colorado has endorsed the Buck
lin amendment, and this fraction is
officered mainly by political office
chasers. The Bucklin amendment
IS not of vital interest to the wage
worker, one way or the other, nor
is it a test of democracy or devo-
ton to labor whether The Sentinel
favors or opposes it. The propos-
ed measure is merely the theory
Of few half>cooked socialists, and
is no more worthy of respect than
fads in general.
The correspondent irrelsvantly
goes on t. say that the democratic
party defeated Gov. Waite, the
leader OF the working classes; that
Gov. Orman fills offices with rela>
tives, and that Secretary Of State
Mills believes in 4 state house
clique All we have to say to this
is that if the democratic party de>
ieated Waite it did good job,
only for the fact that it elected a
republican and not a democrat in
his stead. We hear much OF Waite S
friendship for labor, but little Of the
fact Of his running rat" or "scab"
printing shop in Aspen before be-
coming governor. Like Mr.. Buck
lin, he found it necessary to CULTS
vate labor when he got into politics
and we would like to know how
