OPEN LETTER No. ~.

To the Hon. Alva Adams-Dear Sir:
You have had much to say about what
you regard as the usurpation of au-
thority by the military forces of the
state in Teller county.
You seem to imbibe much satisfac-
ton from n constant reiteration of the
phrase:
1.-The military must be subservient
to the civil power"
And then you act in such n manner
as to give your hearers the impress
sion that something dreadful hap
pened to this wise provision of the
constitution during the recent conflict
with Western federation lawlessness
in Colorado.
Will you not please give the pub
lie the benefit of your Judgment upon
the following question:
Does not the law that makes the
military subordinate to the civil power
imply in itself that there must be
civil power capable, effective and will
ing to act?
IN OtneT WOTuS, III tne event Inal
the civil powers of a county got into
the hands of insurrectionists or their
sympathizers, would you then contend
that the military sent to suppress the
instruction should be held subordi-
nate to the civil power in such
county?
Witness Teller county. where you
have said that criminals have long
gone unpublished; where the enemies
of lawful liberty controlled many of
the civil Offices and the juries and
paralyzed the hand of Justice
Would you, Mr.. Adams. turn the
military forces of the state over to
the insurrectionists if the insurrec
tionists happened to be the civil au-
thorities?
Or, would you. under such condi-
tons. conclude that the governor
who is commander-in-chief of the mill
tia-was also the real head of the
civil power. and, therefore. possessed
the right to use the militia to subdue
the instruction.
VIII you not kindly give the public
q moment of your valuable time to tell
them what you would do in a case of
this sort? Yours truly.

A SMALL POLITICAL TRICK.

Mrs. Minerva C. Welch was Re
publican.
She was in the employ Of the Re-
publican state committee.
She lost her job.
She Immediately turned Democrat.
She was also president of the Colo
RADIO Equal Suffrage Association.
When she turned Democrat she re-
solved to take the equal suffrage as
ISOLATION with her.
In order to do this 1t was necessary
to turn a neat political trick.
She issued a call for meeting OF
the executive committee. without spe-
cifving in the call what the business
before the meeting would be-
A "side tip" was given to the Demo-
cratic members of the committee.
When the meeting was held there
were fourteen Democrats present and
four Republicans.
A motion was made that the asso-
equal suffrage" Alva Adams and Elias
NJ. Ammons and John F. Shafroth.
an outside member of the associa-
lion. Mrs. Wright. was admitted to the
meeting, in order to speak for the mo-
ton. Other members of the associa-
ton, who were Republicans, were ex-
cluded from the meeting, because they
were mot for mamma" The motion
was carried, and the result was sent
far and wide, as an endorsement OF
the Democratic ticket by the associa-
ton.
In order to send out this circular.
letterheads were printed. with the
names of all the officers, some OF
whom were Republicans, and not at
all in sympathy with the action, who
were thereby falsely represented, and
the impression was sought to be given
that the entire association endorsed
the Democratic ticket.
The charter of the equal suffrage as
ISOLATION provides that it shall be en-
tirely non-partisan. The charter has
been violated by sending out this cir
cular, and the Republican members
have consequently withdrawn.
Furthermore, in n circular issued
from Democratic headquarters, 1t is
stated that many Republican women
who were present at the meeting of
the executive committee voted for the
Adams motion. This is al absolute
md unmitigated lie. There were four
Republican women allowed TO be pres
ent. and they all voted no"

Cured Her rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa. Oct. 31.-(Spe-
cial.)-There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the littlo
daughter of l. N. Whipkey of RheG-
matism. She was a great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodd' s
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill
dren do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
II am indeed thankful for what
Dcdd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid IN the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.
