FOXY" THOMAS.

When Senator Thomas NJ. Pat
tcrson deserted caucus of demo
cratic senators called to determine
"a course of action with reference
to the presidents San Domingo
policy last week, he created the
sensation of the sesson and i'm
mediately became the most con-
spicuous member of that august
body. The caucus purposed to
bind all senators to vote against
the plan proposed by the president
and Patterson refused TO be bound.
Just what course he intends TO
pursue in the future he declines TO
state. but rest assured. our versa
tile political acrobat has a high
trump concealed in the dark re
cesses of his makeup Which he
will play at the opportune moment
whether it be in the halls of con-
gress or in Colorado next fall.
Pattcrsou's only attachment to any
political party has been for his
own personal advancement and he's
iust as apt to desert democracy
and act Independently or announce
himself as "A republican as he was
wont to turn populist when pop
ulism was destined to sweep Colo
rado. He may believe that the
time has come when another change
is best for his own political for
tunes. and when once resolved. he
is not slow to act. 'Tis out of the
ordinary when you note "A demo-
cratic editor or Il democratic scnat-
or praising the policies of il repub-
lican president and ardently sup
porting those policies against the
dictates of his party, but Senator
Patterson is not an ordinary man.
He has done all these things and
more. For what? Who knows but
for the hope that that republican
president may be induced to return
like support when most needed
in the future. Senator Patterson
is designing and unscrupulous
politician. as we'll as an able man
and one of power in this state.
Who knows what havoc he could
wreak in the republican party of
Colorado with but a few words of
commendation from the republican
president whose cause he has cham
pioned from the democratic side of
the United States senate Keep
your eye on Thomas NJ. Patterson

THE IMMORTAL LINCOLN.

In commemoration of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln, the public
schools of La .Jara were dismissed
last Monday, which was the 9th
anniversary of his birthday.
He was born on IA farm near
Hodgensville, Hardin county. Ky,
Feb. u. 1909, and died April 10,
1868.
With the revolution of time,
more enegetic efforts are made to
perpetuate the memory of Abra-
ham Lincoln. There was recently
formed an organization known as
the Lincoln Farm association
whose purpose it is to purchase
the old Lincoln birthplace and
transform it into a national park.
The first work of the association
will be to restore to its original
place the cabin in which Lincoln
was born. 1t is the purpose to
erect monument on the ground
and here will be Il historical muse
um which President Roosevelt has
suggested should be called "a

COAL MINERS STRIKE.

Without some unforeseen some
thing arises, on the first of next
April about 100000 coal miners
throughout the United States will
go ont on a strike and some three
million people, dependent upon
these miners for their support, will
be deprived of their ordinary means
of sustenance. The miners have
accumulated an emergency fund of
nearly 100000, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected to double the
amount in the treasury by assess
ments in the course of the next
two months. while the operators
have stored up immense quantities
of coal in preparation for a time OF
idleuess.
The importance of this great
strike and the losses that it will
entail upon the country may be
judged from the record of the
strike of 1923. which was a much
smaller affair. but which resulted
in loss of S25.OO0.oO0 in wages to
the miners. S5O,OOO.OOO in profits
TO the operators, and S26,ooo,o0o
in loss of freight to the railroads.
besides other heavy property loss
es. suffering and danger to life and
health.
The prime cause of the impend-
ing strike is the failure of the coal
operators and their employees to
agree upon the wage schedule, al
though other matters also enter
into the difficulty.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
THIS AND THAT

ed States Senate.
Packers, like other people. have
memories that are better in .some
spots" than others.
AS usual the senate is "doing
nothing" This is the only thing
the senate really does well.
Count Boni de Castellaine seems
fine example of the man who sat
out on limb and sawed it off next
to the tree.
A pure food bill has been before
congress for seventeen years. Nat
urally the senate has become ex-
pert in killing it.
As the coal miners and operators
do not seem to be kept peaceful by
arbitration, it might be good time
to try contiscation.
H. II. Rogers seems to have had
the courts beaten about three weeks
on their decision that he need not
answer Mr.. Hadley's questions.
Municipal ownership has scored
point in West Virginia. The
Pennsylvania railroad has bought
another entire town in that state.
1t seems IA trihe inconsistent to
find that neither DIR. Osler nor any
of his adherants have yet applied
for membership in the Suicide
Club.
II. II. Rogers and certain of the
beef packers, doubtless receive
many circulars these days from the
proprietors of memory culture sys-
tens.
Tom Lawson may have gone
broke. rs he at one time predicted,
but the poor man is still able to
travel about the country in "A pri-
vate car.
Senator Patterson is now eating
his former words about the Presi-
dent. This ought to make him a
more earnest advocate of the purn
food bill.
A means for photographic
thought" has been discovered. 1t
would be interesting to have a
photograph of a L. $. Senator max
ing a speech.
Senator Money has moved to
strike out all but the enacting
clause of the Pure Food Bill. Won
der how he came to overlook the
enacting clause.
Many man who wouldn't be
superstitious enough to believe in
the ground hog. is still secretly
glad that he has fuel enough to
last the six weeks.
Some of Russia's subjects are
receiving death warrants and some
are getting appointments to gov
ernorships, which is about the same
thing in the long run.
Ohio, like Indiana and Wiscon-
sin, has new cigarette law. 1t is
so strong that it forbids the use of
pipes and cigars. 1t will get
smoked out" we fear.
