MINERS PROTEST.
Western Federation Issues State.
ment About Goldfield.

Denver, Dec. 10-The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners issued the following statement
concerning the present controversy
association and the Goldfield Miners
union:
"On Dec. President Roosevelt is
sued proclamation ordering Federal
troops to Goldfield, New, ostensibly for
the purpose of protecting life and prop
erty. That there was ever any dan
ger to personal property is emphatic
ally denied by officers of Esmerelda
county and by the merchants and cit
liens of Goldfield. The only reason
for the present trouble was the decis-
ion of the mine owners to force upon
the miners a scrip that would not be
taken at par by the railroad compa-
MES, the Well-Fargo Express company,
the stores or boarding houses.
Neither would the mine owners
redeem this scrip at any time in the
future
In refusing to accept this worthless
scrip in exchange of their hard labor.
the miners of Goldfield are taking a
manly stand against the usurpation
of governmental functions by unrelia-
BILE banking firms which assume the
right to set aside the legal money of
the nation.
I'VE desire to call the attention of
the American people to the disaster
at Monongah, W. Va, where 500 coal
miners were murdered by the capital
LIST system in it's greed for profits
Had President Roosevelt been as anx-
1ous to enforce the mining laws in
West Virginia; had he considered as
well the protection Of the lives of
those miners by demanding the mine
owners to safeguard their employees
against unnecessary dangers as he is
to send the regular army to crush an
organization whose only aim is to
better their condition and make hap
pier the lives of the working class, 500
blackened corpses would not today
be laid upon the altar Of greed at Mo
nongah, w. Va, around which weep
widowed wives and orphan children.
1--WE protest against this action OF
President Roosevelt, knowing that he
was animated by personal hatred
against the Western Federation of
Miners and its officers. The moving
of troops on peaceable community
must be regarded at least as hasty and
Ill advised and we call upon the work
Ing class of the country to protest
against this unprecedented action of
mimic warfare"

He never made any attempt to con.
ceal the humble origin of his family.
and whenever he travelled to the south
of France he made it a point to visit
the little house at Pau, where his
grandsire was born. A tablet over the
door of the little one-story house bears
this inscriptions "The peasant, Charles
Bernadotte. who subsequently rose to
be field marshal of France and ulti-
mately King Charles XIV, of Sweden
and Norway, was born in this cottage
in 1853"
In appearance, however, King Oscar
was every inch king, and there Is no
sovereign in the world who was more
stately and more regal in bearing than
he was. In height King Oscar stood
six feet two inches, taller than most
of his subjects who, as rule. are tall
men. His eyes were blue, distinctive
of his race.
Prince Gustave, who took the oath as
king in the afternoon, was married
Sept. 20, 1881, to Princess Victoria of
Baden-Baden. Their eldest son, Prince
Gustave, was married June Is, 1905,

ANOTHER WAY.

This is the way the esteemed but or
ganized Winfield Sentinel puts dark.
ness on its people
The most remarkable proposition
that has occurred during this campaign
Is the charge made by Don Gallery Jr.,
the ex-Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, against Lieutenant Governor San
ders, which was denounced by Mr.. San
ders as false AMI cont ..npt;hle, after
which Gallery made bluff by ceering
to challenge Mr.. Sanders, which Mr..
Sanders called. Then Mr.. Gallery, the
Republican guardian Of the Democratic
party proposed to produce the proof OF
his charge. What do we get? A state
ment made out by a disgruntled ana
discharged employe.
Now, Mr.. Gallery produced such
proof that ex-Republican Estopinal,
Sanders campaign manager, asked a
suspension Of public opinion until San
ders {not the Sentinel and his other or
eans) could answer.
The proof was court records, court
decisions. the sheriif's books and Mr..
Sanders own notationsl

After the injured parties were taken

LINING UP.

Neat Democracy IS going to have a
chance at last, as it is now conceded that
Mr.. Bryan will lead the party from
this time on.
Even Watterson of the Courier Our
nal gives it up and applauds the Nebras-
kan in these words: 1T can not be de-
1tnied that Mr.. Bryan has made a stead
fast fight, that he is clean, typical
American, that his following is compact
and enthusiastic, and that even among
the masses Of the lRs sIs1 he is
as so many political assets at time
when the public mind is so unfxe1 and
variable, party lines and discipline so
loose, and the popular mood and tense
so impressionable. |"
Continuing, the colonel says that it
IS idle to dispute his leadership, and
calls upon Democrat to close up.
Only a few days ago the Washington
Herald, paper not friendly to Mr..
Bryan, tells the secret of his popularity
with the masses. Says the Herald:
with all his shortcomings, political
ly--and his career, like Roosevelt's, is
characterized by political shortcomings
1.-The people believe in him, respect him,
and give implicit faith to him, If not to
All his theories. The rank and file of the
party trust his leadership-trust it as
they have trusted no other leadership
IN more than two decades. And it is the
candid opinion of this newspaper that,
IN the forthcoming presidential race, if
Roosevelt persists in eliminating him
self. Bryan will have magnificent OPP
portunity to reach the goal. His strength
y indefinitely greater than that Of any
other Democrat-North or South"
