In order that you may fully appre-
c.ate the point | am trying to make
clear. ! VIII give you another iiiustra-
ton. You are constantly intimatiny
that the law is sufficient for all cmer.
lencies. Let us see.
When great fire Is raging In "A city
II is the common practice. as you
l.now. to blow up surrounding build.
ings to prevent the spread of the con-
migration. Do you know OF any Law
or constitution which permits the fire
chief to destroy property in this man
ner?
You know that under such condi-
tions the fire chief will order you out
of your house and tell you that he is
going to destroy II. and that your pro-
tests will be made In vain. He Will
tell you that he is going To destroy II
in the interests Of the community to
prevent the spread OF the fre. For
time he rises superior to the law. He
tells you few are to be made to suf-
fer for fhe benefit of the many. that
your house must be sacrificed to save
the property OF the people OF your
city.
II you are as fair. candid and just
as you would have the people believe.
you will admit that this IL indeed an
extraordinary emergency" which is
met by an application OF the natural
law of self.preseryation and you
must also admit that II Is right to ap-
ply this law in this emergency.
Now tell the people how you can
maintain that 1t is right to apply the
higher law OF self,preservation to pro
t5cs property in this manner and
wrong to apply the same law to pro-
tect life In similar extraordinary
emergency.
Please answer.
Another extraordinary emergency
which has called for extraordinary
measures to meet, Is your candidacy
for the goyernorship. You and your
party regarded the emergency SO cx-
traordinary that you and they have
adopted the extraordinary and humtli'
ating policy of forming an n'liarce
with the element which believes strike
violence justifable and that property
IL robbery.
Just one more question. Have you
heard of any dynamiting or any muir
ders Of union or non-union men since
the bad characters were run out Of the
mining ca4aps. where the disorders oc-
Cured?
Is It not a fact that every legitimate
business enterprise has been resumed
without fear of the dynamiter; that
prosperity and good order have fol-
lowed the disappearance OF these
Western federation desperadoes from
the camps, as II did after their sup
preston In the Occur d'Alenes and at
Leadville?
Deportation is severe remedy. II
In unfortunate that the Iawless sup
porters of the Western Federation of
Miners made II necessary TO apply il.
but you must agree that the remedy
has had the desired result Good or

Miners. You dare not tell the people
Of Colorado the story of the brutal,
heartless and inhuman crimes OF this
organization because you are running
on ticket and standing on a platform
side by side with two representatives
of the Western Federation Of Miners,
whose support you lack the moral cour-
age to sacrifice.
Now please stand still and look the
audience square in the eye and an
swer this question:
Don't you know In all times and h
all ages extraordinary measures have
been required to meet extraordinary
emergencies1
There are times when human i'm
pulse prompts people to do extraor-
dinary things and it requires extraor-
dinary means to bring them back to
An orderly and ordinary course.
Did you ever stop to think. Gov
ernor, how Adam and Eve left the Gar
den of Eden?
Their departure is the first recorded
case of deportation and you will also
remember that cherubim guarded the
Garden of Bden with a flaming sword
to see that they did not come back"
Perhaps you may regard this extra
ordinary emergency" as too remote to
apply to modern instance. II SO, here
is one that is quite recent:
/ know 1t is your policy to admit
nothing and claim everything, but still
you will not deny that your brother
Frank Adams is at the head of the po-
lice department of Denver.
Your brother Frank has deported
about 800 Of your fellow citizens since
the present administration came into
Office. Inasmuch as this is all in the
family, you Of course will not maintain
that you do not know of this Outrage
Gus proceeding"
Cañon City record., 1904-10-20

And now plsase face the voters an<
tell them why you denounce the ~
thoritiea for the deportations In Teller
county and fail to denounes the deport
atIons In Denver conducted by youi
brother Frank.
II II 10 right to deport dangerous
characters from the city. why 10 Il no,
right to deport them from . eountyf
II your brother Frank may Judge wt,s
are dangerous characters In Denver
why may not the authorities Of Teller
county judge who are dangerous char
sstsrs In that county7
Yop will observe that there are d.
rect and specific questions. Have yos
the time to reply to them? Show
your friends-Owers and Patterson
that you are not az weak and timid -
they would have the people believe,
and speak up DO all may hear you.
Don't say that the Gases are differ.
Ont because the deportsd men from
Denver had NO families or property.
while some of the deported men from
Teller county had both, for II you
make this argument you will take the
position that 1t is a crime for an
American citizen to be without q FINN
fly OF property. which, Of course. would
be foolish thing TO do. The fact b
that these poor. unfortunates can 20
cumulate neither II they are to be con-
itantly hustled from one town to an
other in this unconstitutional manner.
Perhaps you may regard this In
stance Of deportation as much too ro-
mote, therefore your attention is In
vited to the deportations that occurred
few weeks ago at the opening Of the
Rose Bud Indian lands.
Several thousand people were gath
cred, awaiting the drawing OF lots to
secure land. Among them were num-
Der Of offensive and dangerous charac-
ters whom 1t was found impossible to
control by ordinary means. The peo-
pie assembled there were law-abiding
and respectable and they concluded
that an extraordinary emergency"
had arisen. and you know the rest
they deported. drove away the unde-
sirabIe characters.
VIII you please tell us why you have
not raised your voice against this
outrage? This, you know. Is one Of
the questions you cannot dispose Of
with a pleasant smile.
You are undoubtedly aware OF the
appalling list of crimes which the
civil authorities of Teller county per-
mitted to go unpunished while the
Western Federation of Miners was in
control OF public Offices in that county.
You know that after the militia left
Cripple Creek that lawIessncss and
wholesale assassination was resorted
to. Ordinary measures having failed.
do you not think that extraordinary
measures were justified to meet this
extraordinary condition. Perhaps you
do not regard the murder OF fifteen
men in one day as an extraordinary
emergency" At any rate, don't over
look this question; 1t In really quite
important that you answer IL. ~.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Another Fourth of July has
passed and it will be weeks before
we cease to read of accidents, some
fatal, some non fatal, as a result OF
our senseless way of celebrating.
The St. Paul city council passed an
ordinencel Immediately after Inde-
pendaEce Day of 1908 regulating
| the use and sale of firearms and ex-
plosives, and put everything of a
dangerous nature on the prohibited
list. The result was watched with
great interest on the Fourth just
passed, and while the number of
accidents was smaller and less SER
ious than formerly, there were yet
more than had been expected.
**4
The disappointment in this re-
spect was due to two things. In
the first place many people who
could not buy what they wanted in
the way of heavy explosives in St.
Paul went to Minneapolis, where no
restrictions had been imposed. In
the second place some of the St.
Paul dealers sold on the sly most of
the things on the prohibited list, in
violation of the law. The whole
force of city detectives is now en-
gagged in an effort to detect all Ct
such offenders, and the authorities
propose to prosecute to the full ex-
tent of the law all that are found
guilty. The ST. Paul ordinance
bearing upon that matter will not
only be made more rigid but an
effort will be made to have the city
council of Minneapolis pass SINH
lar ordinance.
But regardless of the law it does
seem as though parents generally
use very little sense in the selec-
ton of fireworks for their children.
Many people in Minneapolis, and
they were not confined to children,
fired guns, pistols, and noisy ex-
plosives all day Sunday, preceding
the Fourth, and the papers next
morning gave account of several
serious accidents. One little girl
had been taken to a hospital with
a fatal case of lock-jaw from having
been shot by toy pistol. A case
came under my immediate observa-
ton where little boy was reck-
lessly firing dangerous pistol at
the very time his parents were
reading the newspaper accounts of
these accidents. I know this be-
cause | loaned them the newspaper
and spoke about the accidents as I
handed it to them. The little boy
used the pistol all day and early in
the evening senta cartridge through
the wrist of little girl. Here was
a boy who was allowed to use a pis-
tol in violation of the law, and that
in the face of the whole chapter of
pistol accidents which both parents
had read and talked about.

THE ROBBERY AT MANKATO.
Emil F. Lentz Relates to the Free Press
His Version of the Story.

Emil T. Lentz, one of the persons
in the caboose of the Omaha train,
when it was held up by two high
waymen, near Mankato, on Friday
evening, July s, gave the following
interview to reporter of the Man
kato Free Press on the following
day:
I boarded the train at Madelia,
leaving there at 9 o'clock. The
train stopped little before getting
to the depot at Lake Crystal, and
the two men who are locked up
appeared on the scene for the first
time, and tried to intimidate the
train crew with their revolver. An
other man who was passenger on
the train as far as Lake Crystal
went to the village on foot and re-
ported the matter to the village
marshal, and a search was made of
the train for the men, but they
could not be found in any of the
cars. When the train crew was
satisfied that the men we're not on
the train, we pulled, out of Lake
Crystal.
Nothing happened until we got
to Minneopa, where we stopped
some little time to let passenger
train No. 60 by. AS Conductor
Ritz got off, l noticed him take his
revolver from his hip pocket and
place it in his right coat pocket,
saying that he would fix those fell
lows evidently meaning the men
who had given trouble at Lake Crys-
tai, and whom he probably had
seen get off of the train at Minneopa.
[ learned afterwards that as he and
the brakeman stepped off of the
train they ran right into the two
robbers. The men robbed them
and then came for the caboose. I
was sitting in the cupola and saw
them coming. They had handker-
chiefs tied over the lower part Ct

Of circus equipment. a show Il
given every week day afternoon
and an admission fee of ) cents is
charged. The performance con-
sists OF tumbling, trapeze V lrk and
other athletic exercises, some OF
which are very creditable. But
the amusing feature is the street
parade. The boys have some Shet-
land ponies and bronchos, nearly a
dozen in all, and as many small
wagons, or dog carts. Each wagon
has cage, made of lath, and some
OF them are drawn by bronchos and
some by Newfoundland dogs In
one of the wagons was a phone
graph, as substitute for caliope,
and as horse-scarer and producer
of hideous sounds it is a worthy
rival. Another wagon had an An
CORA cat and litter of kittens; an
other Shanghai rooster and ban
tam hen; another some rabbits; an
other cage of rats, etc. But the
wagon which caught the crowd was
one in which there was boy, in
tights, with hat off, hair combed
pompadore, his tatooed arms, bare
to the shoulder, folded across his
breast. He sat on stool, as straight
as candle in a candle stick. In
one hand he held a heavy raw hide,
and leaning against his leg was a
massive club. He was a typical
lion tanner. In another corner of
the cage there was, instead of a
lion, an old fat pug dog, sound
asleep, lying on a mat This fea-
ture of the parade has given the
boys reputation beyond their inn
mediate locality, and people from
all parts of the city go to South
town to see it. How much better
it is than to blow their arms and
legs off by pistol, guns and explo-
sive fireworks. w. NJ. T.

While was being robbed the
conductor wired to Mankato about
the robbery, and this is what
brought the policemen. Sanders
said to me that they had been lay
ing for the train crew.

POULTRY IN THE ORCHARD
The Combination Is Good on a Small
But Not on a Large
Scale

1t is frequently asserted that orchard
ing and poultry raising go together.
This perhaps is true on a small scale.
but we can hardly conceive of great
commercial orchard comprising hun
dreds of acres of land being made also
a poultry range. In such a case the
combination would be oyerdone, as the
shade from the trees, being constant,
would initiate against the health of the
fowls. On small scale the combination
is happy one. The bugs and worms are
eaten by the fowls and the grass forms a
handy adjunct to the feeding operations.
The grass is not wanted anyway in the
orchard and if the poultry can keep il
down so much the better. 1t will then
not be necessary to even run the weed
er over the ground to keep the weeds
from becoming a nuisance.
The plum orchard is a very good kind
OF orchard in which to keep poultry. as
the limbs of the trees do not shut off too
much sun from the birds. We have seen
poultry yards of small size, in each one
of which was single plum tree grow
ing and thriving. There is no reason
why trees in such locations should not
prove to be very fruitful. They are GER
tainly sure of not becoming grass
bound.-Farmers' Review.
