The Governors Proclamation

The effect, so far, of the Cover
nor's proclamation declaring Teller
county to be in state of rebellion
appears TO have been the suspension
of the habeas corpus act, without
suspending the civil courts.
The object of the proclamation
seems to have been to enable the
militia to arrest and detain danger.
Gus charscters,-men who are known
to be criminals or counseling VIC
lence and resistance to lawful author
ity. That there are a number of
desperate characters in Teller coun
ty is well known, and in fact, has been
well known for months, and while
direct evidence connecting them with
recent crimes may be lacking, their
records, their attitude toward the
lawful authorities and their public
conduct generally is such that the
military authorities believe the pub
lie safety demands their arrest and
detention until it is deemed safe to
again turn them loose upon the com
munity.
While this action may seem arbi-
tary and unnecessary to the friends
of the men so detained. the great
majority of law abiding citizens will
approve of any legal method of
bringing the intolerable condition of
terrorism that has prevailed in Tel
Ter county to speedy end.
That such differences of opinion
as to the necessity for the Governors :
action will exist goes without saying,
but there can be no doubt that he
acted within his constitutional right
in issuing the proclamation, nor can
there be any doubt that in doing so
he was prompted solely by desire
to restore peace and good order in
the disturbed district.
The time it will take to restore
normal conditions depends entirely
upon the citizens of Teller county,
and the assistance given the military
authorities by the local officials. -

How Rumors Crow

Groundless rumors have recently teen
circulated to the effect that the Amer
ican Beet Sugar company had neglected
TO place orders in a sufficient quantity
with several of the beet growers in order
TO enable them to get all their crop IN
before the factory closed this fall.
In order to get at the bottom OF this
report representative of the company
recently interviewed all of the growers
who have any beets on hand; being nine
in number. Those nine growers had on
hand l73 tons of beets, and they bad
previously received orders from the fac
tory for the shipment of 623 tons, and
had delivered on these orders total of
$40 tons Now it is a matter of fact, the
American Beet Sugar company notified
all Of the growers to deliver all the re.
mainder of their crop as quickly as pos
sble after November 21st, and after the
last date of delivery these few remain
ing growers who had smal Tonnage of
beets left were given four days addition
al in which to deliver the entire remain
der of their beets. The company went
TO the expense of having four empty
beet cars hauled from La Junta to La
mar to accommodate those growers. with
the result, that about q of one car was
loaded during the last four days of de
livery. Further more these growers
stated to the representative of the com
pany IN a personal interview that they
had no complaint to make against the
American Beet Sugar company butwere
perfectly satisfied.
The circulation of such rumors as the
the above should be discouraged by all
citizens who have the interest of the
community and valley at heart, as they
can only serve the purpose of discourag-
ing farmers at this time, when they are
feeling the effects of the first failure Of
the beet crop. The beet crop Is un-
questionably one of the best and most
profitable for our farmers as well as the
greatest maker of land values and all
our people should pull together to en-.
courage its production.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to bhe mothers Of

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

THIS is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife replen-
ishes her supply of Chambcrlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is certain to be needed be-
fore the winter is over, and results are
much more prompt and satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. In almost
every instance a severe cold may be
wardcd off by taking this remedy freely
as soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving it
to children, for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.

This happened in 1907, when Colonel
Tate, with the Legion Nolre, landed
near Fishguard, intending to march on
and burn Bristol. When the expedition
appeared off the coast there was only a
handful Of volunteers available to op.
pose them, and Lord Cawdor, who was
in command, mustered all the Welsh
women he could gather together.
Each Of these wore a long red cloak
descending, pctticoat fashion, almost to
her heels, and thus attired they were
made to march and countermarch
among the hills, presenting themselves
at different points to the view of the
enemy in such a way as to give the i'm.
preston of red uniformed troops taking
up position. The French were so puz.
zled by their appearance that, although
they landed, they could not make up
their minds to advance until sufficient
time had elapsed TO raise the countrv

Professor See has watched the dura-
ton of the blue sky after dark, and
found it to continue for about an hour
and fifteen minutes, and from this Inc
shows that our atmosphere extends to a
height of fully 1870 miles. Astronomers
have usually found the height of at
mosphere by computing the height of
meteors, but none have made the hight
of the atmosphere over 100 miles. The
study of the blue color of the sky thus
proves also that our atmosphere ex-
tends considerably higher than scien-
lists nave heretofore supposed. On our
lark days the blue color of the sky is
shut out by clouds, and combinations
of colors due to rejecting clouds and
countless myriads of particles in the
ethereal regions high above the earth
give the bright light which is SO much
relished in daily life.
