a southern Colorado paper specu-
1ates on what Stimson would have
done to meet the industrial crisis had
he been elected instead of Peabody.
Had Mr.. StImson and the Democra-
tic ticket been successful there would
have been no labor war to meet in
this state. That condition has been
barely thought about by the Republic
an administration. which has insisted
upon meeting labor's requests with
club and banquet instead of concilia-
tion and arbitration.
The Sentinel upholds law and Or
der. but the law would never have
been IN danger of infraction with a
different executive in the chair. Gov
ernor Peabody went into office as the
servant of the Mine Owners Associa-
tion, whose funds were used toward
his election. and he has followed the
instructions of that organization
throughout. He has used the military
arm regardless of the wishes of the
civil authorities, and has insisted upon
retaining as the military head an al
legged rough rider who has ridden
rough shod over vested authority and
individual rights from the Governor
down.
Governor Peabody and the Republi
can party will go before the voters
this fall and demand justification and
perpetuation on the score of law and
order. This might have some weight

of lawIessness and disorder which
they allege. Hietory, however,
proves the opposite.
Martial law should be the last ex
tremity, and Democratic administra-
'tions have not found it necessary to
turn the state into military camp
as Peabody and McIntire and Pitkin
and nearly every other Republican
governor has done. The direct expense
to the taxpayers of the state, in lit
tie over year of Republican rule
has been $3.50, ,0C0. and the enc is not
yet The loss to business interests
and state prestige is incalculable. The
antagonism of labor and capital were
never so pronounced. And this is
the record which the republican party
will ask thu voters to ratify this fall.
We finally believe that with the
Democratic party at the helm all the
immense expense. all this disorder, all
this disgrace, all this loss to the labor
and business man wnuld have been
avoided. And we also believe that
there can be no hope for an adjust
ment of these unfortunate conditions
until liberal and progressive Demo-
cratic administration is once more in
stalled.

Grand Millinery
Display.

In very few large cities are any
more pretentious displays of millinery
made than that by the Ladies' En.
porium in this city today. Indeed
it was markedly beautiful and great
ly admired by the hundreds that
attended the opening.
rhe windows were the first to at
tract attention. In the first was "A
magnificent display of millinery, be-
ing set off with beautiful flowers and
trimmed most tastefully. But it was
the second window. aside from the
millinery display in the first, which
came in for the largest amount of at
tention. The window was representa-
tive of Easter time. In the center
was beautiful cross of flowers, the
daisy and violet being predominant
as the floral decoration Back OF this,
as a sort of background, was a large
fluer de lis. beautifully made from
flowers. All over the bottom of the
window was carpet of dasies.
But it was the interior of the store
which presented the surprise to the
ladies. Here everything took on -
new color and new ideas decoration.
Along the north side there We're
three booths The first was violet
booth, next a baby's cosy corner, next
a rose booth. In all these the decor
ations were qnite handsome and the
dipslay of millinery in comport with
the character of the booths.
Back of the first window was the
French booth. Here was display
of pattern hats and creations by the
house itself. 1t was beautifully fur
nished, everything to make it attrac-
tive being added. Between this and
the lounging room, was the stock de-
partment. The facing of this was a
large archway, trimmed with pump
kin veins. The lounging room had di-
vans, easy chairs. reading tables and
many things for the comfort of the
fair sex.
Each of these booths was set alone
by itself and each had its own partic-
ular decoration, which was artistic in
every particular. In the centre of
the store proper was the display of
millinery and to the credit of the
adies' Emporium it can be said that
never has more beautiful or exten-
sive display been attempted in this
city. Every possible shape of the pre-
vailing modes in millinery was here
displayed, with degree
of art seldom witnessed.
On the whole the owners of the La
dies Emporium can be proud Of their
splendid millinery rooms. as they are
simply work of art, upon which
has been spent much time and labor
and not the least of all is the splendid
millinery creations. which in point
of beauty and number are comparable
only with some of the very largest
displays made in the cities.

GLASSES
Cure Headache

When headaches are due to eye.strain
they can be cured by the use of proper
fitting glasses. An optician whose ac-
curacy proves his ability, should be
consulted, as he alone can determine
whether the headaches are really due
to eye-strain, as they may be due to
some disease of the eve, or even to
some general disease. In the latter
case it is treatment and not glasses
that is needed.
