The annals of several counties have
been stained by strikes. lockouts, mar.
tial law and outrage. These are poor
testimonials of free government.
while strikes may not be forbid

laws that will make strikes unneces'

Let Us Have Peace.
During the past two years Colorado
has often held the center of the stage;
she has filled many columns in current
literature; notoriety, if not fame. has
been her portion. To-day as | look
with hope and confidence into the glad
new year, l repeat for Colorado the
hope expressed by Gallatin to Jeffer-
son when about to enter the White
house: May your administration
make no history
Men OF peace have no Plutarch.
Short are the annals of peaceful
states.
80, for the next two years my
prayer is that Colorado will make no
history, save that which is written in
the hearts Of a contented. a prosrer>
Gus and peaceful people.

me the wisdom to know the right and
the courage to do 1t.

BIG ROW THREATENS

Older Members of Order Bitterly OPP
posed to New Rate Schedule.
May Secede.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Announcement
of the new rate schedule adopted by the
Supreme Council OF the Royal Arcanum
at its recent meetings in Atlantic City
has provoked hostile feeling among old
er members of the order.
The rates show an increase on an ave-
rage of 90 per cent. It is predicted that
she enforcement Of the new rate sched-
ule viii be fought in the courts IN every
State In the United States.
Members and officers of the local
councils who have seen the schedule
unhesitatingly characterize the step
taken by the Supreme Council as IAN
outrage against the old line members "
Predictions are being made freely to-
day that the radical action taken will
result in the disruption of the order. OF
more probably. the secession OF several
State bodies and the formation OF in
dependent organizations IS fairer lines
than those laid down by the Supreme
Council.

Taking up the prevalence Of graft
in public life, the governor said:

so that the new branches got susten-
ance. This artificial thing got every
thing from the original That's graft"
[Applause.1 Politicians had no right
to fasten themselves on the Govern

graft, declared the governor. The peo-
pie ought to stop It by all means.
Continuing in this line. he said:

THE SEASON PROMISES WELL
Prospects For Local Oystermen Are
Very Bright.

The local oystermen declare the out
look of the present oyster season is
very promising and much brighter
than for some years past, according to
dealers. Oysters give promise of be-
ing prime and in sufficient quantities
to make the business pay.
The glut of last year will not be re-
peated. if il is possible to prevent il,
and the mussels that inflicted such
damage last year have not made their
appearance on large scale. The mar
ket opened this week firm aud about
10 cents higher than the close on Sat.
urday. They brought from 60 to q
cents yesterday and today. About Il
vessels arrived at Pratt street wharf
Baltimore, most of them having small
cargoes. the total number of bushels
being estimated slightly below 1000.
The oyster this year is large and
firm, but so far continues thin. AL
of the longing is being doue,up the bay,
no oysters having been taken south OF
Herring bay and Poplar Island. The
dredging season begins on October 10,
and It is hardly probable that there
will he drop in prices until then.
