A STATE OF WAR IN COLORADO.


A state Of war exists in Teller coun-
ty Colorado.
The situation is deplorable in the ex-
IRENE and under existing conditions
intelligent comment is practically i'm
possible as between the opposing fac
lions. Certain general principles, how
ever. apply and the gravity of the sit
uation should be realized and appreci-
ated by every citizen. Wholesale
murder has been committed. Proper
ty has been destroyed, mobs have shot
and killed; every right of the citizen
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States has been ruthlessly yio-
lated. What are the people of Colora-
do going to do about it? What are the
people of Iowa and other states going
to say should be done about it? For
similar conditions, though it is to be
hoped in a far less virulent form, are
liable to develop in other industrial
centers at almost any time
American citizens must stand for
the rights and liberties of the people
or general anarchy will prevail, and
our beneficent system of free govern
ment will go down in history as a
stupendous failure. The constitution
of the United States guarantees life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness as
the inalienable rights of the American
people. These rights must be preserv-
ed at all hazards and at all cost, as
must also the right of the trial by
jury and arrest and conviction for crime
by due process of law. Men must have
the right to work il they choose or not
to work If they see fit, but they shall
not be permitted to prevent other men
from exercising these same constitu-
tional rights. The pursuit of happi-
ness cannot be guaranteed to the peo-
pie without the protection of property.
On this rests almost the entire struc-
ture Of civil liberty. Property must
and shall be protected and where de-
stroyed by mob violence the commune
ty should be compelled to restore it.
On the other hand trusts and illegal
combinations of capital must and
shall be suppressed. Capital has no
more right to violate the law than the
individual
Not only the people of Colorado, but
the people of the entire United States
are facing serious problems. The stu.
alton must be met with firmness and a
determination to do exact justice to
all Murder and other crimes must be
detected and punished. 1t would seem
as ii the very liberties of the people
are hanging in the balance There is
one duty incumbent on every citizen
greater than all others combined and
that is, to hold fast to liberty what
ever betide."

TRIED AND FOUND WANTING.

Topeka Capital-"I have a warm
regard for Roosevelt in certain re-

1t will be remembered that in 1892 a
good many people thought this Park
hurst idea good thing, and most of
them for the first time in their lives
got close speaking acquaintance
with the empty dinner pail for several
years afterwards.
