Punish the Liars.

General Bates, when he investigated
the Telluride and Cripple. Creek stu
atipns, reported to Washington that he
Thought the state militia could take care
OF the situation, and in his report he ad-
niitted these sections were in open insur-
rection and rebellion against the state
authorities. We presume Governor Pea
body was influenced to some extent by
these admissions when he made it impos-
sible for Judge Seeds, Sheriff Robertson
and others to further delay the game of
justice. Martial law cuts the News
Times and Post liars to the quick.
These liars can now be all centered in
Telluride and Trinidad. After awhile
maybe the governor will declare martial
Law in these towns; then the Denver
daily papers will have to move their liars
ktsk TO Denver. and possibly under some
Interpretation OF the law they may be
arrested in Denver, as they certainly de
serve to be. There are good citizens in
Denver 1--WE think the majority of them)
who would like to see Denver under mar
tlal law long enough to check the dirty,
contemplate liars who are keeping the
strike going in this state.
Ii a lot of liars ever earned choking
the Post, News and Times are certainly
entitled to the honors. If something

for two weeks there would not be a
strike in Colorado and everything would
settle down and become quiet. We
trust the governor may see his way clear
TO declare martial law long enough to
clean up the source Of all the strikes in
the state. He has the backing of the
community. He stands higher today as
a man than any citizen in the state, even
the politicians who refused endorsement
OF his administration now see their mis-
take. In California they are talking
about Roosevelt and Peabody, and this
talk is not confined to California either.
Peabody is a bigger man than the Post,
News and Times can comprehend. He
has the backing Of majority of the peo-
pie who stand for law and order, and
stay with him. These newspaper liars
might as well face this fact now as later
and assist him to restore peace to our
skate" ridden state, because it is going
to be peace sooner or later, even il a Wig
lance committee made up OF all the de
cent people of the community has to be
formed to take up the case of all these
well known skates and blatherskites, in
Guiding Patterson and his liars, and give
them a touch OF higher law. Mr.. Pat
terson may think he can burn up the
town and ruin the industries Of the state
and Mr.. Tammen may think he has it in
his power to incite the mob to riot, but
there is a quiet, determined element in
this community that outnumber the riot
breeders four to one, who, while they
have not yet gotten together at the polls,
stand ready to cast their party affiliations
TO the wind for the time being and stand
up for Colorado. Should we ever bump
up against that proposition it will be a
hot time for the strike breeding dailies
and their allies. This is pretty plain
talk, but we have pretty nearly reached
the parting of the ways. We are speak
ing by the card now, and what we say
goes!-George's Weekly.

courage every enterprise for the public

very loud in bowling against knockers,
while 1t is itself the chief offender in that

About Ebert County.

The Field and Farm Annual Statistic
al Edition, which by the way, was very
creditable edition OF that excellent farm
journal, contained the following article
regarding Elbert county:
''This county has made wonderful i'm
proyement in the past year. Although
1903 was dry season every industry has
been on the increase. Potatoes we're the
poorest crop in years owing to frost on
July 3, the yield varying from 1900 to
1900 pounds. Notwithstanding the poor
yield seventy-fve carloads we're shipped
from Elbert, mostly for seed to other
potato-growing sections. The non-irri-
gated divide spuds return a larger yield
in the irrigated districts than any other
seed. Grain was a fair crop-rye yield.
ing twenty to twenty-five, oats sixteen to
twenty four, wheat ten to twenty six
bushels without irrigation. A. G. Corn
forth had rye over six feet high and
wheat five feet. Alfalfa has done ex-
ceedingly well and the acreage is doubled
every year. Native hay averaged only
eighty per cent. -Four times the amount
of poultry and eggs were shipped than
ever before. The dairy business is on
the increase, the creamerics and cheese
factories increasing their capacity. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver draw ON Elbert
county for hundreds of gallons OF cream
daily. The cattle industry has the lead
one hundred and forty cars being ship
ped from the west end and like number
from the east. Stockmen feed more lib
orally than formerly and they produce
the best breeding stock obtainable.
Elbert is one of the best non-irrigating
counties in the state. Considering the
price of land, which is very low, the
amount Of labor required to raise crop
and the crop raised, one can clear more
money on the investment than in many
rural districts"

the house since that time. We have five
