ARISE, MY COLORADO!

Were ii not that there is yet an abundance of
gold in the mountain and silver i'll the nine" the
exploitation of which so generously supports its
other industries life would hardly be worth living
in Colorado. With people alert and brainy, a
climate unexcelled in the temperate zone, farms
and ranches o'erfowng with milk and honey, no
state in the Union presents better advantages to
make its citizens happy: But its politics, OH its
politics and politicians It's state government, that
laughs at courts, scorns writs of habeas corpus,
suppresses newspapers, arrests citizens for exer-
cising the right of free speech and mprisons them
in bull pens Ten years ago, who would think such
outrages could be possible III Colorado, or in any
place of the civilized globe outside of Russia and
the volcanic peoples of South America?
A day of reckoning will surely come to those
who have brought disgrace upon Colorado It's
people too enlightened 10 much longer stand
the abuses which make for the destruction of civil
rights and q mockery of popular suffrage.
Already systematic investigation of election
frauds has begun and we trust no let up will take
place until the official pirates are pointed out and
punished. The discovery of padded election lists
has caused a great sensation in Denver But the
Honest Election league will assist in prosecuting
tnose VINO alded III The glgant1c frauds. They
are determined to run to cover those who have
been guilty of sandbagging the people at cleo
tionS. In some instances it is claimed the ras-
Gals have been caught redhanded. Good If the
penitentiary at Canyon City is not large enough
to hold all the ulprits. then confne them in the
bull pens and hberate the honest men imprisoned
there By military satraps.-
At present everyone through whose hands the
fraudulent lists are known to have passed. is busiy
engaged III accusing someone else. That's clear
sign of guilt. 1t indicates the apprehension which
the. prospect of penitentiary sentence is casting
over all who have been concerned in the election
frauds.
Senator Patterson has presented resolution
in the upper body of congress providing for an in
vestgation of the miners strike By the committee
on judiciary. Of course it will be passed upon
gingerly by the committee and a majority of the
senate. But they cannot close the mouth of Tom
Patterson, and he has pretty big mouth Neither
can they prevent the printing of what Tom Pat
terson may say. BY such means will the at
mosphere of Colorado be clarified and the truth
made to stand out.
May the dawn of peace soon be visible in Colo
RADIO, and the sunshine of contentment and hap
piness shed its rays over the enlightened chival-
rous people of the Centennial State.

ROYAL IMpUDENCE.
=s--ss-s- ----r---

The Alegemne Zetung, Vienna paper, says
that Duke Philip of Orleans is seeking divorce
and that he has petitioned the Roman Curia Tor a
dispensation to enable him to marry the daughter
of a great Austrian noble. He sets up the plea
that his present Union is chdless and that he de-
sires to continue the royal line.
This is virtually the same reason Napoleon gave
Plus VII for putting away Josephine and demand
ing Papal appreciation of the divorce and his sub
sequent marriage to Maria Louisa of Austria. The
application of this OrIeanist for divorce from
his lawful wife will operate no more than it
did in the pontifcate of Plus VII The Roman
Curia is not specially interested i'll the perpetual
ton of the royal brood in France, or Catholics i'll
America are greatly mistaken. Philip of Orleans
should seek the tribunal of penance rather than
knock at the door of the Curia for writ that would
scandaize Catholics the world over.
What blessing it would be for poor France if
its Bourbons and Orleanists enlisted in the arny
of the car, and then, after being shrived, they
were placed in front of few Japanese who car
ried good rifles and shot to kill With royal pre-
tenders under the ground and powerless to coax
the allegiance of sanctuary Catholics. the republic
would become such in fact as we'll as in name. And
a republic where the name of Combes would be

The Protestants do not regard the ordination OF
their ministers as a sacrament and sacrlhce' l
wish they did in the same sense that Rome so re-
CARDS it,
Although the topic of the evening was: "How
can we become more truly Catholics" such sentl-
1nents from DR.. Briggs could have no other than
startling effect and he who uttered them was be-
sieged with questions. Dr. Briggs said he agreed III
substance with the judgment of Pope Leo MIL,
that Anglican orders are invalid, in the that
Episcopalialls consider them. and he urged the club
to use its influence to have the Episcopal church
get down off its pedestal and recognize other peo-
pie who enthusiastically quite good as they.
He said that Anglican orders, III the matter OF
continuity, hang upon pretty slender thread, and
went into history to show that it was the act of
God in cutting short the life of Queen Mary, and
not any holiness or wisdom the part of early
Anglican leaders, that gave the Church OF Eng
land bishops and made it national.
If Dr. Briggs is not disciplined for his bold
utterances, it will stand as an admission by the
Episcopal church authorities that his position is
Impregnable. Inns horn OF the dlielllna Is no"

called to the paper read to the Church club by Dr.
Briggs, the complainant being the president of
the club.
We fail to see how DR., Briggs logically ex-
tricate himself from the stand he has taken and
continue to be member of the Episcopal church.
There is sound of sincerity in what he has ut
tered although, from a worldly standpoint, it was
rash. The Roman Catholic church, whittier DR..

converts Should he abandon the Anglican church,

The fascination for Jules Yemes fiction grew
out of his highly improbable narratives, like trip
to the moon and twenty leagues under the sea.
When he introduced one Phineas Fogg, who nm
dertook a trip around the world in eighty days and
succeeded i'll doing it. the novel became popular
that it was dramatized and staged. There was
lesson in it. too but none expected it could be real
lied so soon. Now that the Russians have com
pleted the great Siberian railroad, Phineas Fogg
and his eighty-days' trip around the world be
came posthumous affairs of little account.
The circuit of the globe may be done now in less
than fifty days. On July last, Henry Frederick
left New York on the steamer Deutschland. He re-
turned at midnight August 26. after having COM
petely encircled the earth in tftyfour days. seven
hours and twenty minutes. Eighteen days were
passed on the train from Paris to Daney China;
two more were occupied III crossing the Yellow Sea.

tination at Paris. So as Phineas Fogg Is dis

Isn't 1t better TO live III Logan than die in Salt
Lake City," queries the editor of the Logan Re
publican. The answer depends on whether the in
quirer is Theosophist and disciple Of Pytha-
goras, who taught the mystic philosophy of the
TRANSPORTATION of souls. If such believer for in
stance, died in Salt Lake and his soul took fight to
Logan and became the ego of poor country ed
itor, we could imagine that soul having the power
Of speech. Assuming it had utterance lin order to
carry out the mysticism of the cult), it might cry
out as Artemus Ward did when he exclaimed that
it would be ten dollars in his pocket if he had never
been born. Hence it is better to die in Salt Lake
than take chances of living in Logan; providing
you are satisfied to remain long time dead, and
Logan Is closed as a port of entry for the trans
migratory souls of Theosophists.

The announcement last week that the Board

settled their differences, it now appears was pre-
mature A later dispatch from New York denotes
that the organizations are as far apart as ever
and that the Boardof Erin-which must be small

ever heard of t--preferred charges against their
national delegate for assuming to bring about
reconciliation and unity. The board passed reso-
luton declaring that 'he only true Hibernians in
America belong to the Board of Erin" There YOU
have it. The senseless action of this faction re-
minds the writer of a certain Patsey Haley.

back in Buffalo years ago. To any of his country

question:: What county man are yes' If the

ought to be. The same sentiment applies to the
Patsy Haleys in this Board of Erin, who coddle
the thought to their souls that they are Catholics

the steady sweep of business southward-all these
vital facts which show how Denver's business
district is growing and what may be expected in the
