The Conductors Story.

We'll, gentlemen, in the 35 years
of my experience on the railroad this
is the only time such a thing has ever
happened" said a conductor, address
ing a car full of business men on
their way to New York a few days
ago. Curiosity prompted the men to
ask questions. We'll, this is the
first time have ever gone out on a
train and in a whole car full seen
but one woman passenger" the con-
ductor answered. TN all of this
crowded train there is but one wom-
an. She is seated back there in
the middle car" The conductor point
ed with his finger to a small woman
in black, and all the passengers of the
male sex addressed craned their necks
to see her. That one woman sat
blissfully unconscious all the way
from Philadelphia to New York. quite
undisturbed by her solitary state

QUESTION OF STATE RIGHTS

The states and territories west
of the Missouri river are going to
attempt to solve for themselves
the question as to where the right
of the state ends and the sover-
eighty of the Federal Government
begins. This is really the prob
lem to be solved in the Public
Land Convention to be held in
Denver June lS-19-2O. The with
drawal of immense tracts of the
public lands from settlement and
development by the government
for the purpose of creating forest
reserves and other purposes, has
made this burning issue in the
west. Whether, after permitting
the people of the west to form
states including public lands, the
government can now take the lands
back, as it were, and after barring
the citizen of the state, undertake
to develop and operate the lands
as revenue producing PROPOSE
tion, is a question that must be
The La Jara chronicle., 1907-06-14
c0LORADO's vINDIcATION.

Those people in the east who at
one time condemned the citizens
and the government of Colorado
for the attitude taken in this state
against the Western Federation of
Miners must recognize now that
the course pursued was both req
uisite and wise. says the Denver
Republican.
The life of the state was at stake
when the inner circle of the West
ern Federation pursued its policy
of intimidation and outrage. Had
the men responsible for the disor-
der which for while prevailed in
several localities, been permitted
to have their way, everything in
Colorado would by this time be
subject to the Western Federation,
and the right of men to live their
own lives and work in their own
way would find no recognition.
Every opponent of the peace and
prosperity of the state at that time
was compelled to recognize the su.
premacy of the law: and thereby
the people of Colorado taught men
everywhere a lesson of inestimable
value. They demonstrated that no
policy of disorder and outrage
could be maintained; and by restor-
ing order where peace had been
disturbed they opened the way for
the prosperity which since that
time has come in such abundant
measure.
1t is probable that no such at
tempt to control the chief industry
of state will ever again be made
by combination like the one which
was suppressed under Gov. Pea
body's administration. The fact
that the law was enforced at that
time leaves no room for question
in any mans mind that should like
conditions arise in the future it
would be enforced with equal
again.
1t is exceedingly fortunate that
there has been no backward move
ment in public sentiment since the
settlement of the strike disorders
at the time in question An at
tempt was made to induce the peo-
pie to retrace their steps. but they
chose common sense for their guide,
with the result that the policy of
law enforcement which had proved |
so successful was adhered to with |
more tirmness than ever.
The La Jara chronicle., 1907-06-14

solved at once. The states want
to know where they are at. The
administration Claims that the in
terest of the whole country de-
mands that the government should
take possession of the remaining
public lands and develop them for
the good of the whole nation. The
people of the states naturally want
to know where they come in on
this deal. When the state was
formed and admitted. it was with
all the rights and privileges pos
sessed by the older states. 1t has
heretofore been considered that
one of these rights was that of set
ting the unoccupied public lands
with citizens. The states agreed
when admitted not to tax the public
lands as long as they remained
the property of the government
If they are to remain the property
of the government in perpetuity,
it means that half the state must
pay the taxes of the whole.
Under the decisions of the su-
preme court in the past, it would
look very much as though the
withdrawal of large tracts of land
for public purposes without the
consent of the states, was uncon-
stitutional. There is strong ar
gument OH both sides of the ques-
ton and the convention in Denver
is likely to develop considerable
interest.
The convention has the backing
of governors of all the public land
states who will each appoint ten
delegates and all commercial and
industrial organizations are en-
titled to appoint five delegates
each The outlook is for big
convention and all organizations
are urged TO appoint delegates
and be represented. Names of
delegates should be sent to Arthur
Williams, secretary, Chamber of
Commerce. Denver.

ORCHARDS TESTIMONY.

The testimony of Harry Orchard
the Boise murderer. aud the readi-
ness with which he has met the
cross examination, denote him to
be most extraordinary criminal.
He has an exceptional memory.
He has told IA consecutive story.
He has been as dispassionate as
human being can be under any cir
cumstances. He has manifested
utter indifference to his fate, but "A
keen, careful interest in his nara
tive. There is nothing of the brag-
gart about him. And while this
confession is convincing in its Sc
quence and fullness, and in its re-
lation to the published history of
the crimes narrated. it implies the
most reckless procedure on the
part of this blackhanded murderer
and his accomplices. There was
little cunning in most of the plots
and their execution and it should
not have required IA Sherlock Hol-
mes to ferrit them out The mar
vel is that Orchard and his band of
assassins escaped arrest so long.
