as no TIE WoRKINGMAN.

An effort is being made to convince workingmen that
II is their duty to vote the Democratic ticket straight
II they do that they endorse the yellow dog rule No
class Of people on earth If they are wise ought to
acht this rule as uncompromisngly as the laboring
people.
It sounds beautiful when the gifted orator gets up
and in mpassoned language declares his undyng deyo-
ton to party and tells how this devotion lifts him above
all personal considerations enabling him to vote for his
bitterest enemy if the latter after fair fght obtains
the primary nomination. That part all right; no man
should let personal considerations come between him
and the doing Of what he believes is right
But here's the other side You are workingman.
Suppose you join the Democratic party and subscribe as
YOU must here in vnita to the yellow dog rule Sup
pose that in the next primary two running one
friend OF labor one bitter foe If the latter obtains
the nomination. then will you vote for hm2 If you do,
you betray labor.
There is but one way in which workingmen can OBJ
tain their rights that by sticking together and voting
for the men whose past devotonto their cause proof
Of what they will do in future. And workngmen
can't very we do that If they tied with yellow
dog rule. Then the politicians have them just where
they want them, tied hand and foot
In the city election here be workngman cannot con-
sistenty vote either ticket straight He has friends
and enemies on each ticket He knows that fact as well
as the next man. and is not likely to be by this
haunting Of partisan banners.

TRYING THREATS.

The present yellow dog Democratic city committee
threatens that those Democrats who fail to vote the
straight ticket at the coming city election will hence
forth receive consideration from the party Il the
inquiry is pertinent however, may ask what good a
party nomination is going do the faithful If the can
didate cannot be elected? And further can Democrat
c candidates in the future be elected by the united
voss OF all Democrats?
Wouldn't it be better to try to secure common ba-

out much good being apparent Why not abandon
threats now and try conciation9

BUENos AYREs' MARVELLOUS
GROWTH.

The capital Of Argentina has had
as wonderful an expansion az Chi
eago. Buenos Ayres' population
which was little less than 100000 in
1888. crossed the 100000 line at the
time the latest count was made. in
1905. The Argentines make count
often, so that in 10 OF ~ months from
now we will find that that city has
added another $4,000 or 100000 to its
total Growth is easy and rapid down
there, and apparently excites no re-
mark. As Buenos Ayres has no riv-
ais in population on the western
hemisphere south of the latitude of
Philadelphia, its directory compilers
and two-million clubs have no espe-
cial incentive to pad the returns.
As compared with the population
Of its own country in the aggregate
Buenos Ayres is the largest town in
the world. except London. 1t mas a
sixth of the people of the whole of
Argentina. Built on that scale, New
York would have 14,000.000 inhabi.
tants, or AS many as there are in the
entire states of New York and Penn
sylvania today. New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia are the only towns
in the new world which exceed Argen-
tina's metropolis in population. Rio
de Janeiro, giant among Latin
American towns, has 250000 fewer
people than Buenos Ayres, and the
gap between the two is rapidly broad
ening. AT its present rate of in
crease Buenos Ayres will have 2000,-
600 people by 1920. On the roll of
the worlds largest cities of today Ar
gentina's capital stands fourteenth
Outside of the three United States
cities already mentioned. only Lon
don, Paris. Berlin, Vienna. st. Peters
burg and a few Others are ahead of it.
Nor is this growth superficial and
transient. Argentina herself is ex-
panding with great rapldity in pop
uistion and trade, but not at any
thing like the speed of her chief city.
Behind Bnenos Ayres are the re-
sources and the assets which will in
sure her solid growth for many
years TO come. She has all the ee-
ments OF stability and of the highest
civilization. Her streets, Industrial
and mercantile houses, banks. schools
and newspapers are of the most ad-
vanced type seen anywhere. At her
wharves the flags of all the maritime
nations float. With an area like that
OF the United States east of the Mis-
sissippi. Argentina has population
less than Pennsylvania. so that there
is room for many millions of inhabi
tants there before the country gets
crowded Argentina and her chief
city deserve to receive more of the
United States attention than they
have commanded along to this time

There seems to be a general de
mand throughout the country for in
creased efficiency and yieor in the en-
forcement of the laws of the land.
Now this is all right and very com
mendable. providing this demand is
accompanied by full determination
on the part of the public to support
the laws. Unless this support is Civ
en-, the whole thing will end in a
iizzle. No public official can enforce
laws that have been permitted to lie
dormant. without arousing bitter op.
position and making many enemies.
and unless he is given tangible evil
dence of the backing OF public opin-
ion, his interest in enforcing such
laws is sure to rapidly wane. The
first thing an official hears who un-
dertakes to enforce the laws rigidly
is the news from various interested
sources that he is digging his politi
cal grave. That he is making hosts
of bitter enemies who will punish
him politically for his temerity in un-
dertaking to do his duty as ne sees
it. And the worst of it is that this
program is very often carried ont
Then those who urged the reform will
condemn the official for not succeed
ing and those who have defeated him
will condemn MIN for having such
poor political judgment. There is but
one way to have the laws fearlessly
and honestly enforced, and that is foi
the public to take enough interest in
the matter to fearlessly and honestly
back the official who is trying to en-
force them.

The Chinese Got Even With
Each Other

Little news had been given through
wire press channels about under
ground Chinatown rat San Francisco
when the earthquake came.
1t was announced that in one of the
cracks made by the fracture through
the thin crust on which the Crescent
City" rested, one chasm of 105 feet
was open.
1t had long been one of the rigid
features of police discipline in the
city by the Pacific ocean, to study
the underground boroughs of the yell
low hop smoking race, and to keep
the underground plat before the coun-
ell, that they would not undermine
the larger and heavier buildings need
ing anchorage in the form of a ter
restial stool.
Greed and avarice had needed the
economy of the yellow men and wom-
en- who taught rich mems wives and
daughters the art of smoking opium
and other kindred vices, until at last
men must abandon their homes and
fortunes or acQuiesce.
1t might not have been Holy wrath.
Among the returning refugees are
those who have recovered sufficiently
to possess faculty of thought and ut
terance, and one of these said:
You can never undertake to i'm
agine the horrible spectacle present
ed when a few of those left who
would adventure, went to under
ground Chinatown to see what had
happened. Hundreds were found
with their throats cut from ear to
ear.
AT first 1t was thought that they
had in an abject moment of terror
cut their own throats, but those who
We're familiar with the customs and
habits of these yellow demons, who
knew of their various conflicting muir
derous Highbinder and contending
factions, suggested that on this, their
last day of earth had simply decided
to get even with each other, the sit
uation was readily simplifed.

Edward G. Stoiber WAS another OF
those men who. while In the pursuit

at all men much. More than any
other one man, the prosperity In the
San Juan region OF Colorado today is
due to his persistent search Tor an
economical method to reduce tne
low grade ores that occur al high al

be proiitably transported to market
Before he made his mark on mill
ing processes in Colorado the PROB

centrating ores had been left for the

talk the mine owner into buying his
machinery settled the fate of the
mining proposition to large extent
II the mill handled the ores after II
was built, the mine was declared
good one, otherwise it was too re
fractory'' for any commercial use.
That system filled the gulches OF
the state with misfit milling plants
and set the industry of mining back
many years. Stoiber took the othe!
end of 1t, adapted the process to the
ores, and, although neither a mine
finder nor an inventor, he solved the
most important mining problem the
Industry ever confronted and made al

mense bodies of low grade ores lying

mountains, and while making for

wealth he made himself.
His operations were of such III
original nature, so daring in theil
undertaking, of such magnitude ant
SO revolutionary that even to this da!
they are only beginning to be ap
preciated and only few have SO ia

Every newspaper and every citizen
of Colorado should take a live inter
est in state issues and administration
of public affairs. People are some
times prone to ignore such matters
until a campaign comes on. and then
everything they read on civic sub,
jects they regard as colored for po-
litical or partisan purposes. The
time to find out what Colorado wants
in the way of legislation. and what
public officials are doing is between
elections not at the last minute
wnen judgments are formed under
stress of excitement.
