ARBOR DAY IN IRELAND.

Ireland is trying to re-estabish it's
claim to be known as the "lsland of
Woods 1t is interesting to know
that an American importation, "Arbai
day. is being made use of largely in
furthering the ends of forestry.
Since Arbor day started in Nebraska
thirty-fve years ago its observance has
spread all over the United States. The
tangible result in this country has been
the planting of over six hundred million
trees, for the most part by individual
school children, besides the interest
aroused in animate and inanimate ma
ture and in forestry. In ireland a simi
lar movement is now fairly launched
and is rapidly spreading througout the
country. The time set for planting the
trees is in the fall, instead of the
spring, as in most American states, viz. ::
the week commencing October 20 of
each year.
Last year a circular was issued by
the Irish Forestry society to all the
bishops, clergy, and public bodies, urg-
ing them to organize an Arbor day in
the various districts. A hearty response
was received, and the support came
from all sections of the community,
from peers, peasants, clergy and arti-
sans, not omitting the school children.

THE YELLOW PRESS

1t is characteristic of yellow journals
that they spare no one, but by prefer
ence assail those upon whom an attack
will present the most sensational fea-
lures. They thrive, not upon the ex-
posure of wrong, but upon the extent
to which they can utilize in street sales
the love of a certain class in the pop
uation for whatever may satisfy NOR
bid taste for excitement.

hicted upon those of higher station or
who have achieved greater measure of
success, for it is true that she who sur
passes or subducs mankind must look
down upon the hate of those below. -
Appealing to this spirit, the managers
of yellow journals do not scrupe to de
nounce and vilify any man who attains
distinction or achieves success.
President Andrews of the University
of Nebraska did well to denounce the
spirit which stands back of such Jour

in so far as they make a market for
such papers, the publication of which

decapitation is the outgrowth of what
is said to be his misconduct in conncc-
tion with the midnight closing law and
the fight made by the ministerial ALI

NO STRIKE ON THE RIO GRANDE

III b. Perham. President o. h. T.,
City:
".Dear Sir and Brothcr-Have care
fully considered my ease upon which
strike was voted by the telegraphers of
the d. x X. g.
''Since being discharged thirty days
ago after having given up the best part
of my life for the past nine years and
seeing by their action now how much
they appreciate an employe who has
given the best he has in him, | have de
cided that / could not afford to waste
any more of my time in their employ.
Opportunities Many in Colorado.
'..The state of Colorado is wide and
offers far too many opportunities for
y Young man for me to go back to them
when l have fully made up my mind to
enter other business. / think ] am JUS
tilted in asking you to withdraw the
ease.
"In calling this strike it would work
hardship on some ol my oluest irlehus,
tclcgraphers for the d. & r. G., and
would paralyze the business interests
in this state. Now, ! have made my
home in Colorado many years and shall
make it my home also in the future, and
having the best interests of the state
at heart | cannot permit hardships to
be worked on its people by corpora
ton which has made such a stubborn
stand as has the d. & R. G. railway
and which has at heart only the profits
of George Gould.
'.Please withdraw the case and thank
the boys for the manly stand they have
.aken in the matter.
Yours truly,
"R. H. SKEGGS.'
The Glenwood post., 1907-10-26

At any rate, Skeggs saved the day
by stating that he did not desire to be
reinstated and begging his union not
to strike on his account. In this way
he saved the members of his union the
humiliation of going into a hopeless
fight and he saved the public the an
-oyance and fear which would have
resulted had the strike been called.
The Glenwood post., 1907-10-26

The threatened strike of the Denver
& Rio Grande telegraphers has been
called off. At 6 clock last evening
Wire Chief Skeggs, who was discharged
from the service of the company for
his failure to obey orders, sent a letter
to President Perham asking that no
strike be ordered on account of his dis
charge. He said that he did not want
all of his friends thrown out of work
Just on his account.
Accordingly President Perham with
drew the demands that he had made to
Vice President Schlacks of the d. Il. Il.
G. for the reinstatement of Skcggs.
Naturally such procedure on the
part of the operators indicates there
was an agreement of some kind. What
it was is not known yet and so far as
the general. public is concerned it is
not of much vital importance.
That the strike is averted is the one
thing the residents of the state are in
terested in.
No doubt Mr.. Skeggs will be looked
after in some manner, else the organi-
zaton to which he belongs would not
have backed down and withdrawn their
demands.
Skcggs is reported to be fairly well
fixed financially and he announces his
intention of going into the real estate
business in Grend Junction where his
home has been for several years. He
realized that strike would work hard
ship on the operator and therefore was
anxious to avoid such condition of
affairs.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2e, 1907.
PEOPLE MUST SUPPORT
IN
THE COURTS.

When in any community district
judge is inspired to declare from the
bench that an organized effort is being
made to defeat the ends of justice and
calls upon the people for their support,
there must be something decidedly
wrong. This happened in Aspen Sat
urday when Jundge Shumate addressed
retiring jurymen as follows:
81 have been credibly informed that
a party or an organization has been
formed, supplied with funds to obstruct
the administration of justice and to pre-.
vent the trial of causes by an officer of
the court. That when it was found out
that they could not bribe or corrupt,
then they struck vulnerable spot by
applying what is commonly called
dope A person or persons who think
of resorting to bribery or doping to
gain their ends, then the only conslu-
sion we can arrive at is that, failing
in these, they would resort to the use
of club in dark alley or to assssina
ton
"There would seem to exist among us
moral ulcers that strike at the very
heart of the efforts of the court to con.
duct the business of the people and to
prevent criminal prosecutions. The
court must be sustained by the people
and the executive officers of the court.
To allow such things to go on, the court
may as well quit the trial of causes.
81 could not say anything during the
trial of this case for fear that | might
injure the cause of the people or the
defendants; hence | have waited until
after the trial had been concluded to
call attention to these matters.
at seems that these moral ulcers do
exist among the people who ought to
know that they do exist, and while the
American people are slow to action, yet
when they do become aroused they sup
press them with force, and l hope such
will be the case here and that the peo
pie will assist the court and its officers
in trying to put stop to such things
and aid them in their efforts to enforce
the law. The court cannot accomplish
that unless it has the issistace of the
people. The laws must be enforced and
the court and its officers are powerless
unless the people do assist them
This condition of affairs cannot last
long. The people of Aspen will arise
as one man in support of the courts
and there will be some hiding out done
by those who "dope' officers of the
law. 1t is fortunate that no such scan
dal has yet touched Garfield county.

WHEN 1T is remembered that lat
ter-day conditions have called the teach

the public school is often necessarily

to the immigrant child, who will be the
future citizen, we ought not to begrudge
whatever outlay will assure to the

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has bee


invited by the London Times to
head an international crusade against

such a request, Mr.. Roosevelt is looked
upon as the strong man of the world
man who is not afraid to mix up in
European affairs of moment because of
any danger that he might be offending
some near relative among the rulers of
the various great countries. That
Monte Carlo is bed of crime main
tanned by people of all nations, and
where, as the London Times says, "The
American plutocrats are as prominent
at the tables as the aristocracy of Eu
rope the demand on the president to
head the movement is not without good
sound judgment. However, above all
else, it is high compliment to the man
who does things that are right.

A SENSIBLE UNION MOVE.

We have not noticed in many a day
more sensible movement on the part
of n labor oganization than that just
taken by the o. r. 7. in squelching the
threatened strike against the Denver <
Rio Grande railroad because of the dis
charge of Wire Chief r. II. Skeggs and
the refusal of the road to reinstate him
at the suggetion of the union.
1t will be remembered that Skeggs
refused to test a Western Union wire
this being part of his duties and one
of the acts for which he had for long
time been paid by the company.
When Skeggs refused to do the work
which the company had for him to do
and which he had been doing and fol-
which he was receiving pay, he was, of
course, discharged. Nothing strange OF
unusual ABOUT that. Inc company ulu
just what any other employer would dc
with such an employe.
How Skeggs or his union could hope
for his reinstatement or how they could
hope to present any reason for such re

not understand.
