brought shame upon ITSELF by open
ing the portals of Its government to
public view. Its Mayor stole
away in the night, leaving dis
honor and disgrace behind,
You ask why this happens,
Perhaps because the better
class of people are too busy with
their own business affairs. to look
after the city's needs. They say
these men are elected, and paid to
do this work let them see to 1t. and
so it goes on until they suck all the
good and honor Of the city out, and
put In place of 1t. money making
schemes which bring about halls OF
vice and dishonor and take into the
government halls thieves and liars.
Next Thursday Is our election.
Look at our own city. Not long
ago a railroad off cial stopped In our
city for few days visit, aud he
was taken through the city by a
policeman, an officer of the law,
after visiting saloons, dens OF vice
and iniquity, and the slums of our
city, his verdict was, that Sisters
Vile was the worst town of Its size,
that he ever had visited.
Think of 1t, an officer of the law
showing off a city to strangers In
this way, uncoverlng our sin and
disgrace. He must have Known of
these before, he wore policeman's
badge, he had sworn to protect our
city, yet he dared boast of these
thing. Are you content with this
kind of government? Are you
satisfied that the front doors of our
saloons shall be closed, only to open
the back ones. on Sunday? Many
new people are coming to us;a large
number camea year az all desirable
law abiding citizens. Will they be
content with this sort Of thing? But
they come to you and say party

If a party come; into power and

STRIKERS AT COLORADO CITY
ALLOWED TO REPLACE PICKETS

Colorado Springs, Colo. March O.
The Colorado City Millmens Union
was yesterday notified by Brig. Gen.
Chase, commanding the militia quar-
tered at that place. that the strikers
would again be permitted to station
pickets about the three boycotted
mills. This order materially relieves
the tension prevalent for the past for
ty-eight hours. the dispersion OF the
union pickets having caused more bit
ter feeling among the strikers than
any action OF the authorities since the
calling out OF the troops.
1t was announced that the union In
tended to take legal steps to secure
permission to establish pickets. and 1t
was feared that the rougher element
would take radical meaures and resort
to violence to station their men at
places forbidden by the authorities.
Neither the officials OF the union
nor the brigade officers would discuss
the subject more than to corroborate
the report that the strikers would not
be interefered with In their picketing
duty. The impression is prevalent
that the quiet attitude and orderly ac-
tions Of the men caused the reversal
OF the prohibitivc order of two days
ago.
The streets of Colorado City were
quiet. save for the presence OF the
usual loungers and visitors from the
Springs and surrounding places. The
