must also know how to get it.
Every voter should understand the
industrial condition of his own cOun-
try and of the leading nations of the
world. He should study the relations
of the people to the aristocracy, both
at home and abroad. He should study
the relations of capital and labor, the
effects of reducing the volume of the
currency, the effects of cheap and dear
money upon the producer, the effects
of cooperation; in short, he should
study legislation in all its branches
until he knows what law will be ben
eficial to the people and what will be
injurious to their interests.
The greatest need of the republic is
intelligent voters, and a careful study
of these questions will make intelli-
gent voters. For knowledge is pow
er; yea, and it always will be. Ignor-
ance is weakness weak are al
ways pressed to the wall.
The world today is in the hands of
the strong and wise. A study of this
will show what knowledge has done for
the capitalist; also what ignorance has
done for the poor
Let us learn wisdom before it is too
late. And stop this voting for either
of the old parties, and the remedy
is for the industrial class TO
stand shoulder to shoulder in defense
of their rights and interests; and in
stead of voting at the dictates OF the
machine, vote for Mary and the babies.

the usurpation of power by the cor

That portion of the opinion of the
supreme court of Colorado which has
been published goes one step further
than the supreme court of the United
States took in the Philippines cases,
and is just what Justice Harlan pre-
dicted. The opinion says: "The gov
ernOr has the right to use the militia
force OF the state to suppress insur-
rection. He also has the power to
order the Imprisonment and killing Of
insurrectionists il in his opinion that
extremity is necessary. He can de-
tain military in force until he decides
the insurrection is quelled. The
courts of the state have no right to
interfere with the military and their
handling of prisoners. They have no
power to attempt to discharge mill
tary prisoners" That is specific re-
pudiation of the constitution of the
United States and of the state of Colo
RADIO and establishes a military des-
potism. The people Of Colorado will
never submit to it while there is
man able to defend his civil rights
left. 1t introduces anarchy and shows
what government by corporations
is willing to do.

There has never been an address
during commencement week at the
university for the last ten years that
was as profound or valuable to the
audience as that of James w. Gleed
delivered at Memorial hall last Mon
day night, entitled, "Some Unconsid-
cred Elements in Political Economy. z
If the whole state could have heard
it, it would have done more for the
creation Of wealth on these plains
than millions of capital poured into
it, 1t was the sort of political econ
omy that The Independent has been
trying to teach for the last ten years.
No summary of it can be given this
week. but if it is possible, a copy of
the lecture will be obtained and print
ed in full in the future. A wealthy
nation is not one where the wealth is
concentrated in few hands, but where
it is generally distributed The Gre
alton of wealth comes from honesty,
intelligence. faith in the doctrines of
the Declaration of Independence which
gives hope and courage to all, from
belief in the brotherhood Of man a
consciousness of a great First Cause.
The strangest part about the business
was that Mr.. Gleed is railroad at
torney. 1t brings to mind an address
by A. j. Poppleton at this same uni
versity when he was the attorney for
the Union Pacific along in the seven
ties and which no daily in the state
would publish. The editor of The In
dependent was at that time publish
ing little paper In Omaha called the
Journal Of Commerce, and though il
taxed the facilities of the little Office.
the address was printed In full.
