Each generation despises and de-
nOunces as cranks the men that the
next generation honors. That has al
least been true ever since the dawn OF
Christianity.

1t seems that the Japanese govern
ment was much more successful in
bOttling up the war correspondents
than they were the mouth Of Port Ar
thur harbor.
Roosevelt has kept a man so friend
1y to the trusts in the Office Of attor-
ney general that at the first opp0rtun-
ity the steel trust secured his transfer
to the United States senate to defend
their interests there. The steel trust
wanted Knox in the senate, and Frick,
the leading director, called on the
president, told him So and then went
to Harrisburg and had Knox appointed
in direct conflict with the constitution
Of the state of Pennsylvania.

The textile workers in New England,
and there are many thousands of
them, are to suffer another cut OF 10
per cent in wages. There was a cut
of 10 per cent last fall. The same
class in Pennsylvania are to be cut
Is per cent. Most of the mills in
Pennsylvania have been running on
half time and now all Of them are to
do so. The wage-workers Of the east
have nothing to hope for and next win
ter there will be much suffering
among. 1t seems that the bottom has
fallen out of the full dinner pail
Oil over the east.

The Manitou (Colo) Journal says:
ssWe have more coal than Pennsyl-
vania and the richest gold mines in
the world. Come to Colorado Very
few will accept the invitation until
you have government out there that
will protect life and property, and do
1t by laws and civil processes, instead
of anarchy under a military despotism,
where militia captain is authorized
to defy the courts and shoot and kill
at his own sweet will. There never
was more infamous thing put on the
records OF any government than the
decision of the Colorado supreme
court That decision lays the founda-
tions for civil war and anarchy.

Reading between the lines, as the
phrase is, it is very plain to be seen
from European papers and court Cos
take part in understandings and
agreements that are arrived at by the
powers of the old world, concerning
strictly European affairs. The advice
of George Washington concering en-
tangling alliances has no influence
with modern imperialists.

Those of the revolutionary fathers
who opposed the system of courts es-
tablished under the influences OF Ham
ilton made some harsh criticisms, but
in their most heated discussions they
never predicted such things as have
come to pass. They never dreamed
that the right of trial by jury would
be denied, or that perfect military
despotism could be established by the
authority of the courts alone. Yet
both Of those things have happened.
One is the order of the supreme court |
of the United States and the other by
the authority of the supreme court of
Colorado.
