There is a type of woman whom every

and perhaps tomorrow one will come
across the same woman asking some
ones else advice regarding the same

only too common, and It Is not at all

THE EIGHT HOUR QUESTION.

The Democratic speakers and edi-
tors in Colorado have had much to
say about the alleged opposition OF
the Republican party to an eighthour
law. This criticism is very interest
ing as illustrating the practice of the
Democratic leaders in improyising
real issues upon which they are weak.
In order to make an issue of the
eight-hour question, it was necessary
for the Democratic leaders to first
mis-state the fact as to the Republi-
can attitude upon this question
Thus they are now found lashing
themselves into a fury of denuncia-
ton over a Republican policy that
does not exist and never has existed.
The Republican party in tie nation
is in favor of the eight-hour prlnci-
pie and has applied 1t among govern
ment employees. President Roosevelt
approved an eight-hour law while gov
ernor of New York
Four years ago the Republican par
ty in this state urged the adoption oil
a constitutional amendment authoriz-
ing law for an eight-hour day for
men working in mines and in con
nection with furnaces and smelters.
Two years ago the platform urged
all Republicans to vote for the consti-
tutional amendment and it was adopt
ed by Republican votes.
In the last assembly. the Stephen
bill drawn up by the State Federation
of Labor received the support of every
Republican in the house and was kill
ed in the conference committee by the
Democratic Senate, which Withdrew
its members of the conference com
mittee at the last moment before the
House adjourned at the close of the
session
The platfrom adopted by the Repub.
lican state convention, advocates the
enactment of fair. Just and euitable
eight-hour law
But still the Democratic leaders
tell their followers that the Republi-
cans oppose an eight-hour law. They
seem to think that they can be pick

Republican party stands, and by the
simple process of saying that 1t does

campaign issue.
The eight-hour question in Colo
RADIO is not a political Issue. 1t is en-
tirely nonpartisan matter The DIFF
terence in the attitude of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties on the
question is best indicated by the fact
that the Republican House tried to
pass such law and the Democratic
senate prevented its passage.

PEABODY ENDORSED.

The Democratic platform adopted
at Denver yesterday says:
I'VE declare the right of every
man TO earn his living unrestrict-
ed and untrammelled."
If the above is not a positive en-
dorsement of Gov. Peabody and the
policy of the Republican party we
would like to know what 1t is? The
above doctrine is all the Republicans
have contended for. Had former gov
ernors, Orman for instance, a prodigy
OF Adams, carried out this policy, an
archy would have been squelched in
the beginning Had men been permit
ted to work in Teller and San Miguel
counties in accordance with the above
declarations there would have been
no necessity of calling out the state
militia. II was the vascillating policy
OF the Democratic governors working
hand in hand with the Western FEEDER
alton that caused the reign of terror
in the counties mentioned. Right in
face of the above declarations the
Western Federation will be found sup
porting Alva Adams and at the same
time intimidating and deporting work
men who do not agree with them
wherever permitted to do so. Oh, yes,
our Democratic friends are long on
platitudes but short on fulfilling same

ALVA ADAM s.
-O-

Alva Adams is the nominee for
governor on the Democratic ticket
For weeks the governor has been pro
fuse in declarations that he would not
accept the nomination, but after he de-
clared in an interview at Pueblo, that
the man who did accept should drop
ont of the race for United States sen
ator 1t was dead cinch that he
would accept the tender. If memory
serves right. Mr.. Adams made the
same modest declaration two years
at large. He declared he would not ac-
ceDt the nomination under any con-
ditions. But he did. II is not the in
tention of The Herald to belittle Gov
Adams in any manner, but facts are
facts just the same. We have high
regard for Mr.. Adams as citizen
and good character, but the ruling
passion IN the Adams family is office
by any route and before the end of
the campaign we will witness the sor-
ry spectacle of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, through Meyer and
Haywood, extending every aid to-
wards his election and Western FEEDER
alton literature will be a Democratic
argument. Therefore, 1t will not be
the man The Herald will have to deal
with, but the great principle al stake
whether the Western Federation is
to control one of the great political
parties of the state. The party or in
diyidual that plays with fire cannot
escape without getting burned. There
fore it is not question of Adams as
a man but Adams as a politician and
the crowd back of him. The situation
is just the same. There is only one
way out and that is to vote the Repub-
lican ticket and have the news scat
tered broadcast over the land that
Colorado stands unequivocably for
law and order and the right of every
man to earn his living unrestricted
and untrammeled.''

Labor unions can secure wages and
better conditions through the Repub-
lican party than through Moyerism.
If Moyerism prevails industrial strife
Va continue and this means disrup-
tion of unions along all lines. The en-
ploying interests of this state will not
allow Meyer to dictate. They will
fight it out in the beginning and the
result can only be one way. The Her
aid favors organization. 1t is neces
sary for self interests to organize
But organizations must be conducted
along sane and reasonable lines. With
out prosperity and work labor unions
are of little benefit to the working
man. There will be no work to do.

1t will stand every Republican in
hand to have himself apd voters in
his family registered. This election
means much for Colorado's future. AT
the present time the outlook for Du
range and this southwest section is
bright. The Republican national ad
ministration is behind work that
means wealth to our people and with
government irrigation enterprises will
come additional railroad facilities,
and with no handicaps Durango will
double in population inside of the
next two or three years. Eevery right
thinking man must realize that We
cannot go ahead without capital and
with Peabody and the Republican IT,
clIet elected it will be an invitation to
capital to come to our state. Let every
voter give this careful study.

There was a marked deficiency in tenn
perature over the eastern half OF the

siderable damage to corn and garden
truck in the north-central and north

rain is needed for fall plowing.
Thrashing continues. blowing Is un.
