ment, Navy Department. has been
pushing with great energy the estab-
lishment of wireless telegraph stations

of the insular possessions of the Uni
ted States and extending clear to the

quests the department to take steps to
secure possession of the needed tracts

Indicative of General Forward
Movement by Oyama.
(By the Associated Press }

Frequent fighting between Japanese
advance guards and CoSSackS on the
south front of General Kuropatkin's
army, reported in dispatches to the
Russian War Office, is regarded as in
oicative of the near approach OF

in western Russia have been ordered
to the Far East. No word has beer

Republican papers are making
much of an investigation of Cripple
Cresk atrocities by Walter Wellman.
They are wise in doing so. 1t was
republican investigation, made by
a republican for quasi republican
newspaper for the express purpose
of attempting to vindicate our anar-
chist governor so that the opprobri-
um of his administration would not
drag down Roosevelt. 1t was cum
ningly devised and cloaked in the
garb OF non partisan, unpreludiced
observer, etc etc. There have been
too many Investigations of Cripple
Creek conditions by people who were
not paid for reports, and at time
when national politicians were not in
danger, for the world to accept Well
man whitewash as bone fide. Well
man makes much ado about Mover
and Haywood and points the whole
moral from them. Again, the cum
ningly devised political scheme.
These discredlted leaders of social
ism have neither sympathy or sup
port among the true law and order
citizens of Colorado. The question
is not Meyer a Haywood, it is not
the Western Federation of Miners,
it is not socialism, it is not the per
sonal triumph of Peabody, it is a
question many times larger and
more serious than all of these togeth-
er. 1t is a question whether we
have any constitutional guarantees
of liberty, home, business and fam
lily or whether these all depend on
the whim Of loud nouthed coward
ly knave like General Bell who delib-
erately abuses helpless women and
children or the orders of paid svco-
hant Of the wealthy mine owners, like
Peabody. whose personal word is a
stencil and whose opinions veer with
whispers from his owners. Nc
amount of sophistry can obscure this,

In the struggle between employers
and employees, dynamite is said to
have been used by the latter, result
ing in the loss of life and destruction
of property The perpetrators of
this otfense against the laws of God
and man and all others engaged in
the conspiracy with them should, af-
ter due trial and conviction, have
had meted out to them the most rig
orous punishment known to the law
This crime, added perhaps to others,
led to the formation of a committee
of citizens that, with the support of
the military authority, deports from
the state, without trial, persons sus-
pected of belonging to the organiza-
ton of which the perpetrators of the
dynamite outrages were supposed to
be members In both cases the
reign OF law gave way to the reign of
force. The essence of good govern
ment lies in strict observance of con-
stitutional limitations, enforcement
of law and order and rugged opposi-
ton to all encroachment upon the
sovereignty of the people.
