pending In congress. for y national
highway or automobile boulevard, ex.
tending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast. The chambers Of com
merce, boards of trade and other com
mercial organizations in Denver. Colo.
RADIO Springs and other cities Of the

ars anxious % cooperate in the under.
taking. Il IL Argeed that the Colo.

through Denver TO Colorado Springs.
skirting the rockies. between the two
otties. distance of about seventy Ave
miles. and entering the main range,
at she end Of the stretch. The Colo
RADIO portion Of the great highway
would undoub ubtedly be one Of the finest
along the entire route. extending
over rolling plain. through thriving
cities and picturesque bamlets, past
towering peaks, through gorge and
canon, and traversipg some Of the
grandest mountain scenery in the
world-in all, q distance of about 400
miles. The line would no doubt
cross the range directly from Colorado
Springs to Florence.

Once Home of Cliff Dwellers.

The only place in in the world
where four states. territories or prov.
inces join. is where the boundary

and the United States has marked the
place with stone monument, the
names of the four divisions being in

Russian Barbaritu.
Revengeful Treatment of Japanese
Refugees by Russian Soldiers.

The stories which come from the
ar East about the treatment of Jap
anese refugees by Russian soldiers
are not calculated to increase respect
Tor Russia among the nations of the
world, especially when this treatment
is contrasted with the restraint and
courtesy which have been shown by
the japanese toward Russian citizens
Ia similar circumstances. 1t is said
that Japanese have been plundered
and beaten and stabbed by Russian
soldiers who apparently wished to re-
heve their feelings of resentment to-
ward tke japanese, and that women
have been separated from their nat
ural protectors and also maltreated
This sort of thing Is not likely to win
Russia sympathy abroad.
All reports of the conduct of the
allied troops at the time of the Boxer
troubles agreed in saying that the
japanese exhibited throughout a self
restraint and deceney of behavior
which was, unfortunately, not shown
by the troops of some other countries.
IT seems TO be the aim of the Japa-
nese to show themselves worthy Of
the trust of the world. An acute cor
respondent writing from the Orient
SAID nor long ago that their anxiety 10
observe every point Of international
law, and offend in no possible way
against the conventions, Is so great
that they are standing straight
enough to lean backward" 1t is an
apt phrase They have thus far OBJ
served not only the letter, but the
spirit: of international courtesy. and
Ii would be hard TO see any point in
which exception could be taken to
their conduct up 10 the present time,
either as soldiers, as diplomatists, or
as civilized human beings. The most
shocking disasters yet reported al
iecting the Russian forces are the
death of six hundred men from ex-
posure while crossing Lake Baizal,
and the blowing up of the Boyarin
by a Russian lpine, for neither of
which ealamities can Japan be held
even remotely responsible Of course,
Japan's 'scuteheon may contract blots
III course Of time, and probably will,
since no country can make war with
ont some mistakes; but thus far ii Is
commercially white.

Poor Kansas Citu!
The Unappreciative Remark of Trav-
cling French Journalist.

NJ. Jules Huret, a French CORE
spondent, has been making a tour Of
this country, and has got as far as
Kansas City. Apparently he is not
impressed favorably with that me-
tropolis Of the West, for he Is report
ed TO have said that it is Just like
thirty other American cities, no mon
nothing to see but the fronts
Of tailor shops.
This is hard on Kansas City, for it
is well known that the Middle West,
when 1t fails to win golden eneomiums
from visiting foreigners, Is always
crushed and respondent. There was
a sensitive French critic once, who.
when a kind friend offered TO show
him the Chicago stock yards, actually
refused. There was a Hindu, belong
ing To one Of the vegetarian sects,
who was actually Mortified at the idea
Of Chicago being proud Of those
stock yards. That heather regarded
them much as we should a wholesale
meat shop in the Cannibal Islands.
We all know how seriously KipEng's
reputation was injured by his failure
to treat those stock yards with apprc-
pirate respect and awe.
The average American town con
siders the front Of its leading tailor
shop as one of the most remarkable
sights in the world-its own front"
possibly being considered even better
worth attention. American energy,
American grit and enterprise, Amer
lean progressiveness, the Way IN which
we keep Ia touch with the most mi
mute changes Of fashion in the Cd
World. all are shown IN those tailor
shops. There is no doubt that in al

A State of War.
Methods Used by the United States

methods used by the United States
Steel Company.
The allegation that the attitude of
capital toward labor, and of labor to-
ward capital, in a strike, amounts viz
tually to state of war, Is sometimes
made, and vigorously combated. But
occasionally an incident in the his
tory of a strike seems to confirm that
view.
The men in the employ of the
United States Steel Company at Lees
dale, Pa. went on strike, for what
reason it is not necessary to state
The right and wrong of the demands
Of the strikers have nothing TO do
with the point of this anecdote. The
town in which the strikers live Is sup
Piled with water by pumps in tie
mines controlled by the employers.
The employers bethought themselves
Of the expedient of shutting off the
water. There is nothing for the men
C. do now but to come back to work
at the terms of the capitalists, or
move; and most of them cannot move
on account of lack Of funds, TO say
nothing Of the difficulty of finding
work elsewhere
Some such simple means Of settling
strike may be increasingly used by
employers in the future They have
already secured means of controlling
the food supply in mining and fac
tory districts, by the establishment Of
the company store, which can refuse
credit on groceries to strikers. IN
some towns they own the houses rent.
cd by the strikers. They VIII contend.
with justice, that such means Of com
pelling obedience to their will is no
more unlawful than the strikers plan
of threatening and maltreating
"scabs" aud interfering with com
merce. The fact Is that all such
means Of settling a controversy which
Is essentially one of right and wrong,
not Of force, are simply evidences Of
state of war-a condition in which
all peaceful methods Of settling a d.
pute are abrogated. They prove that
at some time, IN some way, strikes and
loekOuts, boyeotts and the control Of
labor by capital, and Of capital by
labor, must cease, and the liberty Of
the individual be secured by peaceful
means consistent with law.

wore silk hat The judge 1as always
been a devotee of the wool hat: he be
neves IL is as essential TO democracy as
the Constitution itself. In hiss country
the glossy lid is as much despised as
a rattlesnake. and just about as scarce.
The judges political future would be
blank We're he TO go to Georgia's be-
meath one Of these evidences OF modern
civilization. but. nevertheless. he wore
one yesterday.
The judge had on his characteristic
wool hat and was en- route to the sta
zion when ne encountered big Jim" Nc
Andrews, Democratic colleague from
Chicago
Great Heavens Judge. you're not go
ing 10 wear that blank old wool hat to
the funeral. are you?" exclaimed Nc
Andrews
Sure, sir" replied the judge, why
sir; / never wore any other kind Of hat
in my life, and I'm too old to- take up
new fads now sir
II II be damned CALCULATED Mean
drews who IS not given TO the use Of
profanity except under great provoca-
ton. IF III let you disgrace yourself
nd look like a tramp among a party Of
6entlem en-. Why every other man in the
party win have on 4 silk hat, and you'll
look like the devil in that thing you
wear"
For fifteen minutes the big Chicagoan
argued the matter with the Georgian,
and finally cut the discussion short by
calling messengef- and sending TO his
hotel for d discarded silk hat OF his
own, and when It was brought to him
he insisted that Judge Bartlett wear IT,.
But, what'n people down in Georgia
think OF me if they learn that / wear a
silk hat2'' protested the judge.
You're not soinS down in Georgia. -
shouted McAndrews, you're going out
In Ohio where the people are civilized. %
Il want you to understand. sir" de-
Clared the judge grmly, but good ma
turedly, that the people down in Geor-
gia are just as civilized. as refined. and
highly cultured. sir, as the people any
where else on Gawds green earth sir.
even If they don't wear glistening bon
nets and swallOw-tailed coats when
they go in TO breakfast"
But the Judge at last. in order to ap-
pease McAndrews. put on the silk hat
and stepped before the mirror where
he surveyed himself front and back for
fully three minutes, while McAndrews
chuckled to himself.
Say, Mae said the Judge after a
time. by George that head gear isn't
so blamed bad after all. If itn please
you / reckon III wear it," And so he
did When the train was about to de-
part the other members looked about
for Bartlett They did not at first recog-
nize him in his shining tile, but when
they did they gave him the glad hand.
They didn't know that the lid" was a
second hand one in fact that il was one

The resistance Of certain capitalists

some amusing, some ominous. Ia
Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia
the theater interest Is so large, and is
IN the hands Of so few men, that rad

CURED in Philadelphia, where there is
a mayor who cannot be easily twisted
round anybody's finger A certain
theater was found, after the enforce
nient Of the new ordinances, to be ex-
tremely cold. ley blasts swept from
the gallery and assailed the backs %
the necks Of the audience below.
Half the men in the audience kept
their ovelcoats on, and some of the
delicate folk arose and left the place.
Some Of them went 10 the box Office
and complained about it, and from
enc Of these we have the story, told
by a letter TO one Of the PHILADELPHIA
papers. The managers were very
sorry, but really they couldn't do any
thing about it. The new ordinances
required that the exits to the gallery
be kept open, and they had to be kept
open, whether the Thermometer was
down round the zero mark or not. 1t
was too bad that the audience should
get pneumonia, but, really, what was
TO be done when the city authorities
were so unreasOnably particular?
