FARES BETTER HERE
Rev. HoImgren Says American
Laborer Has Advantage.

"The condition of the laboring man in
the United States is much better than
in Sweden" said Rev. David Holmgren,
a member of the Swedish riksdag, last
evening in an address at the ST. Sig
frid's church, Locust and Eighth
streets. 1.-The American laborer gets
better pay, has shorter hours, has bet
ter homes, better clothes and his gen.
eral conditions are all very much more
satisfactory than those of my country"
Rev. Holmgren has spent the past
three months travelling about the
United States studying the labor ques-
ton, of which he has been a student
for years. He is now on his way to
Stockholm, where the riksdag, or lower
house Of the Swedish legislative body,
meets next month.
He discussed the various phases of
the labor question in an interesting
manner, speaking in Swedish. He will
speak at st, Sigfrid's church again to-
day on "The Primeval Causes of the
Great Emigration From Sweden to
This Country and the Effects of This
Emigration on the Mother Country"
Rev. Holmgren said he believed the
final solution of the labor problem must
be worked out along those lines laid
down by Christ.
ut must be by an equal division be-
tween employer and employee of the
profits" he said. while the immense
profits of manufacturers are going into
the pockets Of a few, there can never
be any final peace between the CAPT.
talist and the laboring man.
1.-The first great fight toward the ac-
complishment of this state Of things
will come in America, for the laborer
here is much better educated, more
thoroughly organized and more capable
of coping with the capitalists. 1t will
take centuries to work out the prob
lem along the lines of brotherly love
and such a solution is still almost
nothing more than theory"
Rev. Holmgren declared that the first
great step taken by the laboring men
of Sweden to better their conditions
resulted in a victory for them. The
machinists, foundrymen and other en-
ployes of the immense steel plants of
the country recently made demands for
better wages and hours. The manu-
facturers tried to take things into their
own hands by locking out the men.
The men held out and finally secured
settlement of their differences by
arbitration. This Rev. Ho1mgren de-
clared was a distinct and important
victory for the working man. 1t re-
suited in the establishment of a law
in Sweden and Norway which provides
that all labor difficulties shall be sub
mitted to board of arbitration.

The New Pension Law.

Several of the old soldiers of this city
have recently received an increase OF
pention under the new law raising the
grade of pensioners who have lost a
limb in service. This act was approved
March 2, 1903, and it will not be neccs-
sary for pensioners to petition for an
increase as it will be made voluntarily
by the officers of the pension bureau
just as rapidly as they can be reached.
The following is the new act:
Gan act to increase the pensions of
those who have lost limbs in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled. That from and after the passage
of this act all persons on pension roll,
and all persons hereafter granted a
pension, who while in military or naval
service of the United States and in the
line of duty, shall have lost one hand or
one foot, or been totally disabled in the
same, shall receive a pension at the rate
of $40 per month; that all persons who
II like manner, shall have lost an arm at
or above the elbow or a leg at or above
the knee, or been totally disabled in the
same shall receive a pension at the rate
of SAC per month; that all persons who,
in like manner shall have lost an arm at
the shoulder joint or hip at the hip
hip joint, or where the same is in such a
condition as to prevent the use OF an
artificial limb shall receive pension OF
S555 per month, and that all persons who,
in like manner, shall have lost one hand
and one foot, or been totally disabled in
the same, shall receive pension at the
rate Of $50 per month, and that all per-
sons who, in like manner, shall have lost
both feet shall receive a pension at the
rate Of 500 per month; provided, how
ever that this act shall not be so con
strued as to reduce any pension under
any act, public or private

A Dangerous Thing to Carry.

1t is dangerous thing for a man to
be carrying gun in his pocket, for he
is liable to use it when there is no oc-
casion for it and get himself into
trouble. This corner Of Iowa has had
two instances of the folly of this bust
ness just lately. Matt Hunter carried a
revolver, met a man with whom he had
had a difficulty, was afraid he was going
to get hurt, so he claims and shot the
man. He is now serving twenty-five
years in the penitentiary for it. A trial
has Just been closed at Creston which
resulted in twenty years sentence for
a man by the name of S. E. Wilson, who
carried gun, met a man with whom
he had some trouble and under the de-
fusion that the man was intending to
harm him, drew his revolver and shot
him down. There is a law against car
rying concealed weapons and it ought
to be enforced, if men will not be SEN
sible enough to take warning from such
examples as those two instances. We
are glad that our Iowa courts are deal
ing with such cases as they should and
giving them good, stiff terms i'll the pen
itentiary. No man has any business in
this peaceable country to be carrying a
revolver around in his pocket unless
authorized by law to do so as an officer,
and as it is..a violation of the law to do
so, when man does use his gun he is
only adding one crime to another. Bet
ter leave the revolver business alone
and betteri take pummeling than to
kill man through fear that he might do
something Clarinda Herald.

Leets Simpson Buncoed.

Leets Simpson and family, Of Bates
county, Missouri, came to Canon City
last week to make this their home. Mr.
Simpson is q son-in-law of s. W. Mo-
Daniels, of 727 College avenue. At
Pueblo the Simpson family had to wait
= few hours to make train connection
and there Mr.. Simpson was initiated
into the mysteries OF the freight till
racket While walking about the depot
he was approached by Mr.. Smoothe who
easily learned his destination. and the
fact that he had some acquaintance
in Canon City. Simpson was then iu-
formed that Smoothe's father was one
of the leading merchants in Canon
City and that he was in Pueblo buying
goods for the store. With Mr.. Daniels.
simpsons father-in-law h.- had some
acquaintance, and with w. S Loggins,
who Simpson had known for Fl teen
wears, he had 4 v-ry intimate acquaint-
ance. in fact Loggins was one of the
best customers of the Smoothe store.
Directly Smoothe discovered that the
goods that he had been buying were at
the depot but the railr,s company
would not accept them for shipment
unless the freight was paid in advance
He had brought down considerable
money. but had found q numb.-r of ex-
ceptionsl bargains for cash and WAS q
little bit short. As he was going to
Can n City on the same train with
Simpson could he spar, him enough to
ship the goods and save Smooth. trip
back with the frrighi money simpson
said thar ne only had $4s in cash with
him, but il that would help out,
Smoothe was welcome to it. Tha, sum
just suited Smooth- and Simpson was
given an orle, on the store so that he
could ge, his money back as soon as he
arrived in town, in case Sroothe WAS
una',le to get his business finished in
time to go on the same train with the
Simpsons. Soa" after h had parted
with his money it occurred to simpson
thaI he had been bilked and he went to
police headquarters. He gave an ac-
curate description of the stranger and
the police thought they would have
him in Jail in a lew minutes. but so far
Mr.. Smnnthr is sill at large d has
probably spent simpson, money in
riotou> living Fortunat .ly for simpson,
he still had some money in drafts He
has purchased carriage. team and -x.
press wagon from his friend Loggins
and is husily engaged in winning back
his substance.
