: LITERARY TIMER.

The timer was busy on the roof of
the building whose garret was occu-
pied by poor poet, who also wrote
jests. such as they were, for liveli-
hood, such as it was.
speaking of tinners," mused the
jesting rhymster, that's one on the
house-no, that ones too bad and too
old. l wonder how | can get some in
spiration out of that chap who is sit
ting on my skylight working away so
vigorously"
Just then the timer shifted his
knees into more comfortable posi-
ton, thus throwing more of his weight
upon the frail glass.
He was precipitated to the poets
garret, landing squarely in pile of
verse manuscript that hal been ac-
cumulating for months.
"Ha." exclaimed the poet. 81 have

poetry"
Dashlng it off hastily on his type
writer, he hurried out and sold it for
the price of brealtfast.-Baltimo

NEWSPAPER LICENSE.


The Herald does not believe 1t is the
province or the right OF newspaper
to attack private individuals and be-
rate them from day TO day in the con
duct OF their business. In its policy
OF rule or ruin the Democrat goes out
Of Its way to attack citizens of Duran
90 and bring about discori The pa
per would have the community at war
and on the down-hlll road TO ruin.
In It's attacks en- the Citizens al
Iiance and its mel crs the same ribald
against labor and Dor unions year
go. Consistency has never existed In
the Democrat office. although the ylr-
tue IL claimed In every iten---oi being
honest and sincere. In the morning
issue 1t admits that 1t would be Will
Ing TO condone lying. cheating and
any other old thing providing II was
paid for It---as long as merchants paid
the coin there was silence. OF course
those attacked can rest assured That
little attention Ia paid at home over
the rawlings of the morning sheet. but
on the outside We must admit II has
an influence and Durango is regarded
as town to steer clear OF. and here
Is where 1t hurts, The union laborer
who will pay any attention to the ad.
vice of the paper after the experience
OF year ago is indeed hard up for a
mouthplece.
And why should there be chickering's
going on between the business and
laboring element of this community
Are not the interests OF each identi
cal? With the two pulling apart our
town cannot prosper. With laboring
men sore at their empioy ers and EN-
ployers dissatisfied with their men
only one result will follow-both Will
lose out. Without this daily disturb
ing element there would be no fric-
ton. And the whole sum and sub
stance of 1t is because certain firms
no not advertise. Isn't this an admis-
sion that the sheet is willing to con
done wrong Tor n few paltry dollars?
Doesn't 1t make 1t plain that the fight
is not sincere but based wholly on
spite and Misrepresentation?

MILITARY AND MARTIAL LAW.

great many people who do not
understand what martial law means
think Is something terrible-an instru-
ment In the hands OF the military 10
run rough-shod over the rights OF the
people. This is great mistake. Mar
tiRl law Is for the protection of the
rights OF the people. or course the
fact that 1t Is necessary to declare
martial law Is not a good advertise
ment for any community, because 1t
Indicates lawlessness upon the part
OF her citizens that cannot be coped
with In any other way. Outside oil
this martial law in the Telluride dis
trict does not mean oppression or
coercion on the part OF the military
Every man, woman and child enjoys
perfect freedom so long as complying
with the laws OF the land, laborlng
men as well as others. The militia is
not for the purpose of coercing any
one to work or press 'the crown OF
thorns." but to protect those who want
TO work. II is not n question of wages
In Telluride. Cripple Creek or any 9TH
er portion OF the state where troops
have been stationed, but question OF
the protection OF lie and property.
Fully ninety-five per cent of union la
Dor is against Illegal methods OF fore.
Ing their demands, but there are a few
who go beyond the bounds, and 1t is
this class that has to be looked after
In the Telluride district all the first
class men and miners pulled out after
the strike was promulgated and only
those who apparently are desirous OF
fomenting trouble remained behind.
1t is one thing certain. the Telluride
district will get rid of the law breakers
and this applies to those out of the
union rs well as those In. 1t is not
a question OF wages. The same wages
are paid new men as before the strike
and all underground men are on eight
hours time.
unionism is right. We believe in
organization for the protection ana
equalization OF wages. but force and
law breaking methods never won a
union battle. To win laboring men
must have the sympathy of the people
and the fact that the miners OF San
Juan and Ouray counties are working
peacefully and harmoniously on. the
same basis as offered by the opera
tors In the San Miguel district, IL evil

The Herald will admit there Is great
injustice done labor in many instances
that wages are kept down in order
to pay dividends ON watered stocks,
etc. but this cannot be attributed to
the mining interests of the San Juan.
