This paper also has the hardihood
10 publish scurrllous attack upon
opposition newspapers and calls up
On the people 90 boycott them.
1t is indeed sad thing 10 CON
template SO many members of the
local press of Colorado inoculated
with a spirit Of anarchy and rabid
partisanship So that they support a
hideous travesty ON law, order and
Justice as this administration has
Afforded and willing classify them
selves with the pusillanimous brutes
IN he and she garb who advocate
sentiments like those above quoted
The argument that Wardlon was
an agitator paid IN his own medicine,
even if true and from reports of his
speeches at Crested Butte, it was not
true in the slightest degree woald
be an argument fit for the lunatic
brain OF a General Bell. but for no
Intelligent man who had the good Of
his country at heart or,understood the
FIRST principles al true law and order.
Stop supporting such vile senti-
ments, gentlemen, Stop supporting
the selfish and purchasable brutes
who utter them Violence by either
employee or employer Is 10 be de
preCated and irOwned upon. The
miners Of Colorado undoubtedly have
some acts TO regret, have committed
deeds that brought disrepute upon
themselves and upon their orgaoiza
ton. The NEws-CHANrIoN believes
and stated from the first that the
present strike was wrong and un-
lusuiable. and was instigated by
soclalistic leaders not for the good
Of labor but 10 gain their own private
ends But whatever opinion upon
these points the men bad a right to
strlkeaAd let it be said 10 the everlast-
ing credit of union labor that in the
struggle they have almost without
exception conducted themselves like
lawabIding American citizens and
like gentlemen. Grimes that their
enemies ought to fasten upon them
like the NIndicator explosion. the
Sun n Moon dynamiting or the
Florence a Cripple Greek train
wrecking have been conclusively
proven TO be either pure accidents
as with the Nindicator on a deliber-
ale conspiracy TO defame a. in the
railroad case.
On the contrary their enemies
have stopped at no crime or violence.
They have suspended the laws,
thrOttled the courts. violated the
guarantees of the constitution, tramp
led under the feet of cheap military
blatherskites the most sacred priv
leges Of home and private life.
Is 1t the part of honor to sup
port this false and warped idea of
law and order? l. ii honorable to
give aid and comfort to the defamers
Of our state and the violators of our
homes? Colorado is heralded to the
world as a hot bed of industrial an
archy when the proclamations that
I published the lie were manufactured
/ by a corporation tool TO suit his cor
poratlon masters.
Our business credit as state. our
far name as home Of the most in
telligent and law abiding people in
America has been dragged in the
dust. For one, the News Champion
has no desire TO see Its name in
scribed in the roll Of ''honor?' as a
paper that supports such dishonor-
able ideas and purposes.
