Our own laureate poet, J. C. Pierce,
Since the campaign was first begun,
Has been spouting poems long and

To the amusement OF everyone.
Occasionally he was sublime
In lines that were full Of sincerity (;
But after all Of his high-strung rhyme,
Must print the defeat of Jastrsmskl.
True, the old hero has done his bsst
Trying to get q Wholesale lien
On Louisana's votes, but now may rest
Listening to Pierce and his talking

The Independent advises everybody
to keep out of Colorado There is no
opportunity for business them; an
American has no more rights than
some militia captain may be pleased
to grant. II he is not citizen OF that
state he is liable to be hauled out OF
bed at night and depolted with or
ders never to come back. Stay away!
Give Colorado wide berth. Citizens
Of other states have already been de-
ported by order of the militia. The
state is in the hands of few misera-
BILE republican politicians who have
turned the government over to. the
smelling and mining trust. It is no
place for a self-respecting American
citizen. If you must travel or emf
crate. better go to Russia Arizona is
a much better place for consumptl'e
invalids. Colorado is hell with the I'D
off. If you go there the lid may be
clapped down and you can never get
out.
The people are so helpless in the
hands of the thugs and capitalists that
at a recent election of great import
ance in the city of Denver less than
one-fourth of the voters dared to go
to the polls. The consequence is that
that city will be ruled by the thugs for
the next ten years. 1t is no place for
decent man. If you value your Lille
or wish to preserve your property keep
away from Denver. 1t Is no use to ar-
peal to the courts out there. The
Judges have been so cowed that they
will try cases while the court rooms
are filed with armed soldiers-a thing
that has not happened anywhere else
In civilization since the days OF Magma
Charta. The mass of the citizenship
seem to have no more courage than
the judges. Stay away!

AVOID COLORADO

There are some things about Colo
RADIO anarchy that are pathetic. The
miners we're scrupulously obeying the
laws and &c criminal charges could be
made against them. They were claim
ing protection under the old flag. To
emphasize their devotion to that flag
they printed some of their calls for
meetings on paper that had a picture
of the flag whose protection they
claimed. Then warrants were sworn
out charging them with Decorating
the flag and their leaders were al
rested and imprisoned on that charge
There was never more damnable
piece OF hypocrisy and despotism en-
acted In any part of the world. II will
return to vex the authors of 1t for
many years. That kind OF government
viii make Colorado wilderness. Its
effects are already being seen on ev-
cry hand. One of Nebraska's most
distinguished citizens has Just made
trip through that state. lie says
that business Is at standstlll. that
everywhere people are talking about
leaving the state and getting some
where whore law and order prevail.
This business depression Ii not only
apparent In the counties where mill

but all over the state. No one seems

from newspaper men, These crimes
were among the matter that was al
ways blue-pencilled and the reporters
had ceased to write them out. 1t was
the same way about the dozen or more
poor creatures who froze to death On
the streets every night and the facts
about which no daily there would
print. A writer hints that greater
horrors are committed in St Louis
and to less extent in Chicago. Ev-
cry year over 1,400 young girls disap-
pear in the great cities of the United
States and their families and friends
never hear of them again. The Jau-
gernaut and suffice OF the heather
never crushed out one-tenth as many
lives of innocents as the barbarians
who live along the eastern seacoast
OF the United States. James Taylor
Lewis, counsel for the New York Stale
Medical association, declares that "a
harvest of nearly 100000 is reaped
here annually by illegal medical prac-
titioners, that the dead bodies of l.
800 abandoned babes are found in the
streets of this city every year, and
that $4,000 births are unrecorded."
That all comes from the almost uni
versal and disgusting immortality of
the great captains of industry" who
not only rob the people of millions.
but live the lives of libertines.

action to put stop to the wholesale
degeneration of the people,

TEDDY AND RocKEFELLER

TEDDY AND BOCkBFELLEB
The close alliance still continues to
exist between the administration and
the STANDARD Oil crowd" as it is
called down on Wall street. A long
time ago The Independent printed the
facts about the deal with Rockefeller s
National City. bank of New York, in
the sale of the old customs house
There was never a more open and UNI
disguised robbery of the treasury than
was involved in this transaction. The
veil thrown over it is SO thin that an
octogenarian can see through it with
out putting on his spectacles. The
government sold this great building 70
the National City bank. The bank
then informed the government that it
had made a transfer OF credits on Its
books and the government was cred-
tied with having deposited that much
money. The government continues to
occupy the old customs house and will
do so for some years 20 come. The
National City bank therefore charges
the government $4,000 year for
the rent Of the old customs house.
There is another little trick in this
business In making the entry on its
books crediting the government with
a deposit in payment for the old Gus
toms house, the bank did not credit
the government with the full amount
paid for the building. The credit is
$4,000 short of that amount. The
government will therefore not make a
deed to the bank to the property and
it stands as still owned by the gov
eminent It follows that the property
cannot be taxed. The amount of taxes
would be $50, 1000 a year. So here by
this little understanding with Teddy,
Rockefeller takes out Of the treasury
of the United States yearly $4,000
and out of the treasury of the state of
New York $4,000. That is to say that
the people of the United States and
the state Of New York are taxed $780,
600 year and the money turned over
to Rockefeller as gift.
Mr.. Sulzer made a motion in the
house the other day to strike the item
of $4,000 paid to Rockefeller for rent
of the customs house from the sundry
civil appropriation bill and the motion
was defeated. Through this transao-
ton, Rockefeller draws from the
treasury salary more than four times
as large as that of the president of
the United States. A direct tax on
the people is made for the benefit of
Rockefeller. 1t is a gift. Rockefeller
renders no service whatever for it. 1t
has been paid now, we believe, for four
years.
On to Springfield! and let us do our
best to stop this part of the Rockefel-
Ter graft.
