Editor Iron County Record:

notice In your issue of 18th inst
communication from "Subscrib Der. :"
In which he objects to certain doings
of Socialists, and the methods they
use. He starts out with "These
papers (The Appeal to Reason) seem
to have been sent out for free dis
tribution", etc. Now, 1 would have
him know that certain members of
the local Socialist Club paid good
money for those papers, and out of
the generosity of their hearts, enabled
various parties among whom were
"Subscriber," to read the truth
about certain events which occurred
In Colorado and Idaho, that are not
shown up in other papers, on account
of being owned by the capitalist class,
who favor the Mine Owners Associa-
tion. 1t seems to hurt ''Subscriber' -
that copy should be in the hands OF
every working-man of our beloved
country and as regards the motives of
the paper l can't see how Sub
scriber" can put himself up as q
judge in such matters. He must
have wonderful head to understand
the apparent object" and seems to
think himself as discerning man as
Mr.. MCFARLAND. / fail to see in the
"Appeal" where the prisoners are
pictured as models of a Messiah
as the Bible does not say, and have
read it from Genesis to Revelations,
that the Messiah was married man,
a devoted husband or a loving father.
l would further like to draw the
attention of Subscriber to the fact
that the law states that every man is
innocent until he is proven guilty
beyond Reasonable doubt and the
prisoners, by the actions of kid
nappers, are to the mind of all reason.
able persons, innocent. l think
Subscriber" will find il he reads
his "Appeal" that the paper calls it
the "Colorado-Idaho Crime" not
Conspiracy" and heads 1t as such
and that the "rabid sheet" even went
so far as to charge McParlad with
blowing up the depot at Indepen-
dence, instead of. If he read the
paper properly, Marshall Bemore, as
the Appeal states "that after the
depot was blown up the bloodhounds
went straight to the cabin of Marshall
Bemore, "a spotter in the employ of
the Mine Owners Association. If
Subscriber will leave out his ideas as
regards insinuations ana look the
affair plainly in the face he will see
that the Appeal has just as much
right to have its ideas about the
Idaho affair as either subscriber or
Mcfarland. IL the Appeal has stated
untIuths about the governors, every
body knows what the law of libel is,
and guess the governors can take
care of themselves.
After Subscriber has rakod the
Appeal, and shown from his deduc-
tions that he believes Meyer and
Haywood guilty, he goes on to say 81
do not know whether Meyer and
Haywood are g;ilty or innocent. Z"
What twaddlel / do not think that
Subscriber" has sufficient discern
ment to judge whether or not the
tactics used by the Appeal" indicate
weakness, as everyone has right
to defend himself or his party with
out being charged with trying to
bolster up his defense by misguided
public sentiment. 1t is the first
time that have ever heard of Pinker-
ton men (otficers of the law being
elected by peoples ballots and I, for
one, think we would be better off, IL

Squire Thompkin's Daughter.

A golden opportunity has fallen to
the lot of the society editor this
issue. The pleasure of criticising
the theatrical productions Is a sweet
morsel that the editor in cheif has
ordinarily reserved for himself.
along with the complimentary tickets
but this is whore he gets what Is
coming to him, and a long suffering
community as we'll as long line of
aspiring and crest-fallen actors, who
have gone down before his IMPLYING
criticism, viii enjoy seeing the lime
eight hed upon his I'M persopstion' of
I Altscsyyolish's role.
First, as to the play itself. 1t is
the liveliest which has appeared on
tho boards this winter. It had
snap and sparkle that some of the
others have lacked, and vas not
wanting in dramatic episode. Too
often, however, the snap was allowed
to effervesce before the audience got
the benefit of it, because the actors
we're slow in remembering their
lines, or too tame in scenes requiring
intensity. For instance, in the last
scene where Miles lover. Flynn,
takes poison and falls dead, the
assembled company act about as much
concerned as they would at the sight
of an overturned wool sack, and the
facility with which the heroine
transferred her affections from the
dead man to her admirer Bunny was
enough to make the most hardened
fiirt in Utah gasp. Another error
was committed which must be charged
against every performance pre-
sented this winter, there was too
generous display of red light. At
best, color tableaux are an articflial
means of inducing quivers, and un-
less the audience is already wrought
up, are liable to strike it as melodra-
matte and sometimes even ludicrous.
When color effects are used, especial
ly where but one or two actors hold
he stage, the tableaux should be
given with certain expedition and
finished with quick curtain.
ut were easier to tell tw enty men
what they ought to do, than to be
one of the twenty to follow your own
advice" Oh, Mr.. Editor, charity
hideth multitude OF imperfections,
but in spite of your benevolent
motives (of which the rest of the
staff are justly proud) in taking part
in the performance we must confess
to conviction that you will make
a moro shining mark in the world as
critic of plays than as a delineator
Of them. Your gestures we're ginger
ly, your speeches too calm and
deliberate for the heavy villain. II
you will go on the stage, don't try
the heayies any more; don't attempt
Hamlet, but bank on your sense of
humor and go in for comedy.
LATE Mcdonnell, in the character
OF the ubiquitous Irishman, covered
himself with glory. He kept the
house In roar, and was on the whole
the best character in the play.
The actors as awhole did prehaps as
well as the ordinary run of amateurs,
without professional coaching. None
OF them, however, we're threatened
with a repetition of the San Francisco
disaster as result of stentorian
barsts Of applause.

Editor Mail Box.-I have read
with some degree of interest, the
article by Subscriber, in the
Record Of recent date, and would
here say that 1 would like to be able
to look at matters and things as
optimistically as he does. Apparent
ly he has read great deal, and has
not wasted much OF his time on the
street corners. i opine, however,
that the subject he discusses upon
has only been examiepd on one side,
the popular side. Like ''Subscriber"
| too have had the misfortune to read
little in the Appeal to Reason, +"
and now let that rascally paper 90,
and let me appeal to his reason.
Let me ask him to do as | have done:
Il sent to Washington d. @. and
asked the Hon. Commissioner OF
labor to send me copy of Labor
Disturbances In Colorado" book
of about $50 pages, dealing with the
attitude Of the Western Federation
Of Miners, and the Mine Owners
Association.
Now, IL this second Daniel come
to judgement will read carefully, be
will find out that the other fellow
might be thu better off for little
sympathy, ne of the time. Sub.
sorlber says @c sympvkbs should be
with the o of law eseryS
time. 1 an 4iling TO say, most u
the time, besI can say, thank the
Lord. that am not In sympathy with
such officers Of the law as Colorado
has been cursed with for few years
past. There has been so many
crimes committed by those officers
of the law. that it makes one blush
for humanity. "Ah, Liberty" said
Madame Roland, when she laid her
beautiful head on the executioners'
block, show many crimes are COM
mitted in thy name.'' Colorado has
furnished history with good many
crimes committed in the name of law.
History Is said to repeat itself.
Subscriber cannot possibly be
ignorant of the fact that there was an
army sent here to Utah to annihilate
a handful of people because they we're
not popular, and as matter of
course, by "the officers of the law, "
and that worthy gentleman, whom
the people OF Utah or at least great
many of them, hold in high estima-
tion, was harrassed by "the officers of
the law" aud brought before the
courts as many as 80 times, without
being able to bring any crime home
to him, and subscriber sympathizes
with the officers every time; does
he?
If Meyer and Haywood can he
proven guilty of the murder of
Stunenberg it will be worth millions
of dollars to the Mine Owners
Association, and result In the entire
disruption of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, as we'll as an enormous
loss to them. "A DEMOCRAT.

Subscriber has to make charges
that we would be much better off
with as few of that class of men

AS regards the charge OF "trans-
forming an order respecting people
into q nation of Anarchists, " would
ask Subscriber" how would he like
to be kidnapped by night from one
state to another, without trial in his
own statei think that is anarchy
and believe Subscriber" himself
would kick against IL.
think the last fourteen words of
his email Box" epistle are splendid
and IL he reads it over himself and
cogitates thereon, he will find a
different meaning than be intended

are at present living under.

MONUMENT TO CAPT. WIRl.
Comrades All Over the Country Express
Their Horror at IL.

c. D. Lindsay, 67th Ohio, Toledo, o..
thinks that, while undoubtedly Jeffer-
son Davis had guilty knowledge of what
was being done in Andersonville, r. e
Lee also had the same knowledge, and
should have stopped the practices OF
resigned his position.
j. w. Garner, Perkins. Okla, was
born in the South and reared a Demo
crat, but served in the 1st KY. Cav
(Wolford's). He has the profoundest
respect for any Southern soldier who
served honorably. but the proposition
to erect monument to the heartlesS
Wirz is simply revolving. His name
should be forgotten and his grave not
known.
H. c.. Hackett, Union Springs, n. Y.
thinks that the monument erected in
Detroit to the Devil could be appro-
priately used by the Daughters of the
Confederacy for Capt. Wirz.
A. L. Swap, First Sergeant Co. E
3Tth Ill.,, Albion, Pa, is surprised that
the better element of the Confederates
should not suppress the insane effort;
to call attention to the disgraceful acts
Of WirZ.
r. D. Colgate, 149th n. Y, Orbisonia
Pa, believes in a monument to WirZ ii
he could only design it. 1t would have
him suspended from a crosS-bar by q
rope.
j. B. Myers, 18th Iowa, whitten
Iowa, was in Andersonville, and suffered
at the hands of Wirz, and his whole
nature rises in rebellion at the thought
Of any monument to the inhuman
scoundrel.

mously presents Comrade Thomas d
Kimball for Commander of the De,

that he is an intelligent. cultivated gen

PENSION POINTERS
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

I. N. NJ, Elwood, Mo.-Although
you were drafted for three years. since
your service was less than two yeyrs
you are not entitled to bounty.
A. H. NJ. Keystone. Ind.-The mum
Der of pensioners on the rolls June 80,
1908. was 99S,441; the number of Spe
cial Examiners, 1870: the number of
Examining Surgeons. 4.742.
Reader, Spring Valley, Minn.-A
widow pensioner whose name has been
dropped from the rolls because of re-
marriage, upon the death Of second
husband may have her pension re-
stored, provided she was the wife of
the soldier during his military career
and her income less than $3.50 per
year. Independent of her own daily la
Dor.
Subscriber. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-If
the name of a widow pensioner is
dropped from the rolls on account of
violation of the provisions of the act
of Aug. z, 1882. the Pension Bureau
holds that she cannot be restored, even
though she has lived a good moral life
since the date her name was dropped.
J. G., San Francisco. Cal.-It is held
that the guardian of a pensioner is
the agent of the United States for the
proper expenditure of the pension
money in his hands, irrespective of the
duties devolved upon him by the State
law. The Pension Bureau has the right
to control pension money in the hands
of a guardian, both before and after
the death of the wards.
P. A.-Service rendered as enrolling
officer does not give title to pension
under the act of June 81. 1890.
Reader. Kan.-If the minors were
over 16 years of age at the death OF
the widow, they have no title to the
accrued pension due the widow at the
date of her death.
