ten witnesses in reserve. Most of
the rebuttal evidence to be introduced
bears on the labor situation in Colo

Is intended to rebut the claim of the
defense that there existed a condition
OF peace and quietness prior to the
calling out of state troops. The warm
weather close atmosphere of the court
room and strain of the trial, now the
middle of the tenth week, are telling
on the nerves of the counsel.
o. NJ. Sackett OF Telluride, Colo,
for fifteen years an employe of the
Smuggler-Union mine, was the first
witness of the day. He told OF his per-
sonal experiences in the big riot at
the SmugglerUnion in 1901. He said
he and several other employees of the
mine were compelled to run through
perfect hail of bullets in order to get
to the mine. who was the head of

The witness next told of negotiating
with st. John to have the firing stop

him. Defense objected to several of

ting no bar on white voters no mat
ter how ignorant and degraded. Mr..
Bryan has been challenged time after
time to discuss the negro problem in
the South. but will not do SO. He
dares not do so. He is like Judge
Douglass just before the war who was
trying to curry favor with both North
and South. In answer to the we'll put
questions of Lincoln. Douglass did at
last answer. as to his views on the
rights of slave owners in the terri
tories. The answer cost Douglass the
support of the South. and taking
warning of the past Mr.. Bryan will
not declare himself. With his party
associates demanding the repeal of the
amendment at the United States con-
stitution guaranteeing to the colored
man the rights of a white man in the
eyes of the law, and law after law
passed deprivlng him of his vote.
Bryan stands mute, yet wants to pass
for an honest man in politics. He is
demagogue of the deepest dye.

HUGHES OF NEW YORK

AS time progresses the possibilities
of naming Gov. Hughes of New York
as the republican nominee, grow in
public mind. The candidacy of a
man who can certainly carry New
York state will not be set aside as
unworthy of notice. With New York
the success of the republican ticket
is certain. and continuation of re-
publican policy is what the country
wants. The objection that H ughes is
unknown is not g strong one. for he
has record which will bear inspec-
ton. The man who was the fearless
foe of corruption in places high and
low when he had no thought of MAX
ing a record for presidential honors
can be trusted. AS governor he has
kept at the good work He is safe
man. who would take no backward
step, and he stands a good show of
being the next president of the United
States.

DISHONEST BRYAN

We know there is feeling abroad
that Bryan, although mistaken in
many of the things he advocates is
sincere and honest. To our mind
there is not a honest hair on his head,
when it comes to his actions as a
political leader. He ian make good
looking plausible showing. but there
is no true heart in it. He will aban-
don tomorrow what he says to-day if
he finds that he is not on the popular
side. 1t needs hardly to be called to
mind his severe arrangement of the
gold standard as the sum of all evils,
anu how he had relegated free silver.
and single gold standard to the rear.
He came back from his tour around
the world and in the great New York
speech spoke boldly for government
ownership of railroads. He wanted
the states to take over the lines
strictly operating within their bord-
ers. and the, nation to control the
lines running between two or more
states. This is an untenable posi-
ton. for very impracticable. When
he saw that this plan. did not meet
popular support. Bryan promptly mod
fed it and said he did not mean it.
In his Commoner of Sept. 9th he
puts forth that base hypocritical plea
that democracy stands for the indi-
vidnal and republicanism is against
the individual" We challange the
record of the democatic party on the
issue that it stands distinctively for
the individual" and the republican
party against the Individual" The
claim of Bryan is fraud.
Bryan has never lifted up his voice
on behalf of the colored voters of the
South who are being SO horribly treat
ed The various states of the South
pass laws expressly worded to keep
the colored man from voting. and put

TIN HORN GAMBLERS.

The men who will deliberately sell
ball game. who will play to lose for
the purpose of fleeing men by side
bets. are tin-horn gamblers aud they
should be barred from further par
ticipation in decent sport.
We are moved to this ebullition of
wrath by the apparently authentic re-
port that ball game recently played
at Charter Oak was openly and shame
lessly sold by an aggregation sailing
under the name of the Denison ball
team.
A member of the team has admit
ted that he was betting on the Ute
while playing with the so-called Den
ison team. Petty swindlers are so
common that we would probably have
nothing to say in this instance were
it not for the unfortunate use of Den
ison's name.
The facts in the base ball situation
are these: Dissatisfied with too poor
ball the team was playing. and just
about at the end of its resources fl
nancially. the management released
the team TWO weeks ago. There were
some games still on the tapis and as
1T was too late to secure other engage
ment the players agreed to stick to-
gether and fill the dates on their own
responsibility. Games were played
at Jefferson, Charter Oak and Manila
under this arrangement. The team
retained the name ''Denison'' but it
was not under the control or manage
ment of Denison people.
We are indignant that the good
name of our city should have been
trafficed with by these cheap sports.
We have no word to say in their de-
Tense. These men played good ball.
and so far as we know honest ball.
while they were in Denison employ.
1t would seem that the temptation to
make a stake at the close of the sea-
son, was too much for them.
Some of the players were undoubt-
edly innocent and knew nothing of the
graft. but those who were guilty
ought to be made to know just how
their action is regarded by honest
men.
In conclusion let US express the be-
lief that Denison has seen enough of |
professional ball to last it for several
seasons.

This charity society official is Of the
opinion that the police methods of

Gus and repressive. Vagrancy should
be prevented, for it cannot be cured
.Ablebodied Migrants should be made to
work. Migrants caught trespassing
should be arrested and punished. Food
and lodging furnished to tramps should
be paid for in work except in the case
of incapables. and this class should be
dealt with by the proper authorities.
Finally Migrants should everywhere
and always be kept separate from the
honest poor and also from criminals
