REIGN OF MARTIAL
Law IN COLORADO
TWO COUNTIES UNDER JURIs-

AUTHORITIES.
Purpose of Order in San Miguel County
Is to Prevent Return of Union Min
ers-Son of the Sheriff Saws the
Strikers Are Armed.

Denver Col, March 25.-Martial law
is In operation in two Colorado coun-
tles-San Miguel and Las Animas. Re-
ports from both districts are TO the eff
feet that conditions at present are
peaceful. At Telluride, San Miguel
county, press censorship is exercised
and no news is sent out except such as
approved by the military authorities.
No press censorship has yet been es~
tabllshed at Trinidad or other towns in
the coal field. At the capitol no secret
is made of the fact that the purpose
in declaring martial law in San Miguel
county is to prevent the return to
Telluride of the union men who were
expelled from the camp by an organi-
cation of armed business men, who
have announced their intention to go
back, under protection of an injunction
granted by District Judge Theron
Stevens.

CoIorado's Property.

Whatever may be the individual feelings
OF any voter toward certain individuals,
whatever may be his opinion as to the
propriety of all that has been done by the
state administration, the future prosperity
OF the state is now bound up i'll the success
OF the mines and farms.
In a state OF boundless undeveioped
resources. there is constan, and growing
need OF capital to develop them; in state
where wages are higher than almost any
where else in the union, there is constant
need OF capital TO pay them. Where is the
capital coming from Partly out OF our
own mines and farms. orchards and vine
Yards, but largely from investors from
other states.
We all know the state OF feeling there
was in the East in regard to Colorado in
vestmeuts in 1898. Colorado men who
tried then to attract capital. even for the
most meritorious propositions. were turned
down, aud informed that until the state
came TO its senses and would protect prop
erty. rather than protect those who were
destroying il, there was no Use i'll asking
for capital.
But in the wave of Republican success
that has swept the country there will be
one OF the greatest forward movements IN
the history of the state Colorado will be
regarded by investors as one of the safes,
places for property in the United States.
Al the present time the rights of life. lib
er,y and property are better protected in
this state than they ever have been in its
history: and the fact has been thoroughly
advertised throughout the business world.
Republican SUCCESS means continuation
OF these conditions, and capital will come
in more freely than ever before. There
will be plenty of money for wages and
plenty more to develop new enterprises:
while the old ones will take on new
lease of life.
These things are true. They are not
partisan distortions. but cold business
facts.

Mr. Bryan's Latest Advice.

Mr.. Bryau's latest advice 10 democrats IS
TO prepare for the campaign of is9s by try
ing to convert their republican neighbors
to democratic doctrine. In this connection
he suggests the distribution OF literature
and especially the circulation OF democrat
ic newspapers. Possibly it would be un-
fair TO direct attention to the fact that Mr.
Bryan is himself the editor and proprietor
OF democratic weekly. The time does not,
however, seem especially opportune to be-
gin among republicans the kind of work
suggested The logic of events Is often
more convincing than the maSiris OF pe-
iitical reasoners, and should Mr.. Bryan's
democratic followers enter upon the mis-
sionary work proposed, the result. viewed
from his standpoint. might disclose more
perverts than converts. He should season
his advice with caution. for democrats en-
gaging in political discussion with repub-
lican neighbors might find themselves en-
ployed upon dangerous enterprise. not
TO suggest that they might be taught the
truth of the proverb that the wicked
stand in slippery places"
/; is altogether probable that the next
four years will bring forth events that will
outweigh all the arguments of the Bryan
school of Democracy. For every theory
that a Democrat may advance, his Repub-
lican neighbor will be able to present a
contradictory fact, and thus the work of
converting Repub biicans to Democracy
promises to proceed somewhat more
slowly than Mr.. Bryan may desire--Den-

To know OF one Of the sharpest sorrows

to her story how that she had loved and
trusted some man utterly, and has been
betrayed. Knocked, deserted.
A dreadful fate IS drawing nearer; home
and the familiar faces are simply
sources OF tortue. She has not where to
lay her head or hide her sick heart. Is it
any wonder that the river is a bed for her

while from the ranks of the professional

Why this difference?
Simply because the girls who come to
us are the ones who want to be saved.
They have not learned to live without
work; to live on morphine and whiskey,
and have not come TO utter degradation OF
soul and body.

of life OF shame.
