Synopsis Of the Dissenting
Opinion Of Judge Steel.

believe that the constitution has
been Unnecessarily assaiIed and rudely
violated" by the head of the executive
department and further believe that
this court has removed The landmarks
which our fathers have set and my dut,
requires me to Withhold III! approval.
1t 10 entirely probable that the act of
the governor in calling to his aid the
military arm Of the government cannot be
questioned, but when it comes TO super
seding tho civil power aud exercising
martial law, to dsobeying the writ OF
habeus corpus or other process of the
court, to dstuiniug citizens upon sus-
picion. than the question Of whether an
insurrection exists is not to be deter
mined by the governors proclamation.
The court has not construed the con-
stitution, it has ignored it; and the resuil
10 that it has made greater inroads on
that not one Of the guarantees Of person
a liberty can now be enforced.
When the court says that because the
governor is the, head OF the executive
department Of the state that when he
takes command Of he military forces he
is still at the bead Of the civil power and
that the section Of bill OF rights which
declares 'that the military shall always
be in s,rict subordina,ion to the civil
power" has no other meaning than that
The military ehail always be under the
command u the governor. it is simply
snnulling that section of the bill OF
rights.
Meyer may be guilty OF the most
heinous offenses. 1t may be that he
deserves to linger in prison the remain
der OF his natural lie; but he is entitled
to his liberty unless some one, in proper
form and before a proper tribunal,
charges him with violation Of the law.
II one may be restrained OF his liberty
without charge being preferred agaiDs,
him, every other guarantee OF the con-
stitution may be denied him.
When we deny to one, however wicked.
right plainly guaranteed by the con-
stitution, we take that same right from
everyone. We cannot deny liberty to-
day and grant it tomorrow; We cannot
grant it TO those heretofore above sus-
picion and grant it to those suspected
OF crime; for the constitution is for all
men-"for the favorite at court; for the
countrymen at plow"--at all times and
uuder all circumstances.
If the law is as this court has declared
then our vaunted priceless heritage is a
sham and our fathers stood "between
their loved homes and the wars desola-
ton" in vain.

ALL ACTION SHOULD Be
WITHIN THE Law.

In the troublus times through
which Colorado is now passing il
behooves all patriotic and conserva,
tive citizens to make their influence
felt by active participation in pub,
lie affairs and by the aggressive
advocacy Of that kind of law and
order that comes well within the
limits Of firmly established princi-
pies of justice and right.
1t is very easy during periods
of industrial disturbance, such as
Colorado is now passing through,
for both sides to say and do things
that are indiscreet, unwise, unfair
and often criminal in their effect.
From such proceedings there is
always reaction, as the pendulum
Of justice and fair play is certain
to adjust itself before the end of
the chapter is reached, but much
bad blood can be spared the repu-
tation Of the state can be promoted
the assassins and the agitators
can be dealt with more effectively.
through the power of the law ell
forced in strong and conservative
way, than through any radical,
inconsiderate or rash action that
may cause months of delay in re-
storing real law and order to The
state.
The weapons of boycott, of in
temperate talk, of wild speeches
and interviews, of indiscrcet de.
nunciation, should be dropped
once and for all and the people Of
the state should bear in mind that
they are the members Of a common
community and all together they
constitute one of the greatest COM
monwealths on the American con-
tinent.
The matters before the pnblic
should be thoroughly discussed in
all of their bearings and he is not
a good citizen or loyal American
who undertakes to prevent or
abridge such discussion. The in
temperate discussion of such mat,
tiers on either side meets its own
destruction without any effort from
outside and every person should
hear in mind that our Colorado
people are the most intelligent, as
a whole, of any community of equal
size in the world and they will not
be misled one moment by wild OF
intcmperate talk or extreme or
criminal agitation and, while
strictly enforcing the laws against
all criminals. they will ever insist
on fair play and just treatment
toward all other classes of citizens.
This is an excellent year for all

CAN SHIPS BE RAISED?
General Stoessel May Have to Sink
Ship to Save Them.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 13.-The state
ment that the Russian warships at
Port Arthur were sunk by the Rus
SLAMS as protection from the Japan.
ese gun fire is regarded at the ad.
miralty as being quite possible. II
true, it is interpreted as a sign that
General Stoessel believes the fort.
ress can hold out until the arrival OF
the second Pacific squadron. The
supposition is that the garrison as a
last resort, will retire to the Lao Tie
forts.
If succor should come, the ships
could be raised. Considering the fact
that Admiral Wirens orders were to
destroy the ships beyond the posi-
bility of a salvage when all hope had
gone the admiralty has been unable
to understand why they remained at
Port Arthur. The explanation is
therefore regarded as more reason

EXCHANGED SWORDS
StoFy C: Two Brave Soldiers Who Are
liow in Opposition.
FEELING OF WARM FRIENDSHIP.
In Japan Kuropat<in Is Held In Re-
spect BY the People, Many of
Whom Think War Would Have
Been Averted If He Had Known In
Time.

Toxic, Nov 13.-An interesting
story of the great struggle at arms
between Russia and Japan lies in
long established personal friendship
between General Terauchi and Gen
eral Kuropatkin, commander-in-chief
Of the Russian armies in Manchuria,
and an exchange of swords as pres
ents between them on the eve of
war.
Kuropatkin ald Terauhi met in
Paris twenty years ago Terauchi,
then a major, was military attache
to the japanese legation in the
French capital, and Kuropatkin. a
major general at that time, went to
France to observe the military man
euvers. The two soldiers met first
officially and there soon sprcng up
between them a feeling of warm
friendship and regard. They parted
in Paris and did not meet until KurO-
patkin came to Japan last year. The
lapse of years had brought increased
rank and cabinet portofoliOs for both,
and their reunion was an interesting
one.
Events were then moving rapidly
toward war, but the rupture had not
come, and the two ministers met as
friends and freely enjoyed the re-
union. When Kuropatkin was about
to leave Japan for home Terauchi
presented to him a Japanese sword
an old blade of the finest workman
shop and with an interesting history.
When he reached st. Petersburg,
Kuropatkin gave an order for the
manufacture of a Russian sword for
his friend Terauchi. It was finished
and dispatched in December, and
reached the Japanese capital week
before Togo's guns opened fire upon
Port Arthur. A somewhat peculiar
thing about the Russian sword is that
it reached Toxic with the blade keen
ly sharpened, a custom followed by
officers as a rule only in time of war,
and among the few who knew of the
existence of the weapon there has
been much discussion as to why it
was sharpened. The sword is a hand
some weapon, shaped more like a
saber than the conventional sword
of the time, it has a handle of gold,
and the black scabDard in which it
rests is tipped with gold. Despite the
gulf that divides the two peoples, de-
spite the fact that their soldiers had
skill are pitted in a gigantic struggle,
Terauchi speaks fOndly and respect
| fully of his old soldier friend. Indeed
| throughout all Japan Kuropatkin is
| held in distinct respect by the people
at large, many of whom believe that
if he had been at home in Russia last
| year the men who made the war
would never have gained the ascend

the case Of Mrs. Benz. Wilson of this
place. Suffering from Sugar Diabetes,

years and doctored with two doctors,
but received no benefit. She had so
much pain all over her that she could
not rest day or night. The doctor said
that she could not live.
Then an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills and they help

MORE RURAL ROUTES.
-Four More Counties In Karsas Are Be
iag Routed.

Topeka, Dec. 1S.-There is a boom
in rural free delivery in Kansas. The
process for making streets out of
roads is being followed with results
The service is TO be given to coun-
ties complete as follows: Wyandotte,
Johnson, Sedgwick and Cloud Al
ready the service covers the follow
ing counties: Franklin, Shawnee,
Harvey and Sumner.
In Wyandotte county the work is
in charge of c. P. Johnson, who has
corps of men making the routes.
Similar work is being done in John
son county by a. w. Smith; in Sedg-
wick county by r. J. Martin, and in
Cloud county by G. H. Chase.
In Wyandotte the Commercial
Club of Kansas City, Kan, more than
a year ago asked that the whole
county be given service. The ap-
plication in taking its turn was finally
reached and it is now thought a SER
vice can be relied upon as starting
by April 1. This same schedule of
service is also predicted for the other
counties now being routed.
This will place the service in three
counties in close business touch with
the two Kansas Citys. 1t has been
established in Jackson county for two
years and to this is to be added Wy
andotte and Johnson. An effort is
also being made to give a complete
service to Clay county. This is very
much like extending the city limits
from a commercial standpoint. The
outgoing mail is placed in every
home during the day and the people
are given city facilities for doing
business. The market and trade
news distributed by mail, and this
closely followed by telephone devel-
opment increases the Accommodations
for county life, enhancing in value all
farm lands. 1t also places the coun-
try in direct touch with the city.

Death In Coal Mine.

Tacoma, Wash. Dec. 10.-An ex-
plosion of gas in a coal mine at Bur
nett resulted in fifteen fatalities
F iredamp was responsible for the
disaster.
Eleven cOrpses, all badly burned
and mangled, have been recovered.
Eight of the men were married and
had families.
The cOncussion rocked the sur
rounding territory like an earth
quake. Just before the explosion
forty men ascended from the depths
of the mine. Several others got out
shortly afterwards.
