However, we do think that the Booster

LITTLE HOPE OF INTERVENTION.

At present there seems to be no way
in which outside nations can affect the
conflict between Japan and Russia and
therefore arguments against their doing
so are welcome. Men who can make
such record as the Russians have
made at Port Arthur have a right to
continue the war on land and sea until
they have had enough. A Russian
lieutenant wrote of one of the Port
Arthur combats: THE ravine below
streamed with blood and in one place
corpses lay SO thick that dam was
formed. The men in our advanced
trenches were driven out or bayoneted,
but before the Japanese got yard
further they were all shot down. The
night attack and the ensuing sortie
were ghastly affairs. We have got to
stage at which we all laugh at blood
and murder and no man would shed
tear over the death of his own father"
Captain Mahan, in one of his recent
comments asked: "In view of such
suffering, shall those who have in it no
part save sympathy, rising little above
| idle sentiment, advocate interference,
as we hear from time to time? Have
not the men who have done what
Kuropatkin and Stoessel and their
valiant soldiers have done a right to
demand ''hands off" until their govern
ment asks interposition?" As far as
fright" is concerned. what about the
way Japan was treated after defeating
China? Intervention that helped her
now could certainly not give her back
more than she lost then Captain Ma
han says: Japan had no recourse but
to declare war and at the moment she
did," In such circumstances fright"
is not the troublesome question Neither
England nor the United States is likely
to intervene just at present.

AN ASTONISHING CASE.

The Denver yellow journals and their
pitiful little echoes in various parts of
the state are making all the fuss they
can out of the allowance by the Colo
RADIO military board to the Victor Re
cord of claim for damages amounting
to 81, 2O6.
Attached to the bill is an itemised
statement of the actual loss incurred,
and to one who is familiar with the
machiney and material used in daily
newspaper offices the claim does not
seem at all excessive or extravagant.
There is no doubt that the Victor
office was wrecked at time when the
Cripple Creek district was under the
protection of the state military power.
Whether the Office was destroyed by
the Western Federation of Miners, the
Citizens Alliance, the militia or the
Salvation army, there is no doubt that
it was destroyed and it would seem that
the owner of the property had very
good claim against the state.
Nevertheless the journals above men,
toned, audtheir little understudies, find
it necessary to make every incident in
current history serve the ends of parti-
san politics and SO they are alleging
that this claim wos allowed in order to
bribe the Record to support Peabody
in the recent campaign. That the
Recoad did support Peabody is known
to all and SO did hundreds of Teller
county citizens that had previously been
outspoken in favor of the Western
Federation aud its methods. Whether
the Record supported Peabody because
the military board gave Mr.. Kyner the
chance to ask the legislature to ray
for the property destroyed it is not
known.
The really astonishing thing about the
case is that Mr.. Kyner secured even

1t has often been wondered why paint
and varnish turn white for a while after
a heavy rainstorm- This is probably
due to molecules Of moisture being
driven into the minute divisions Of the
paint or yarnish. and thus giving them
the color that we see on foam on the
water. The natural color of the paint
or varnish can be quickly restored By
rubbing on little fine oil, which takes
