WORST OUTLAWS WILL
BE RIDDEN ROUNDUP DAY

shame in disowning God, as not the
least of our present national disasters.
To you, first l address a subject that
must be agitated.
M. r. WATKINSON,
Minister of the Gospel.
To Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary of the
Treasury.
Under date of November 20, 1861,
the Secretary of the Treasury address
sed the following letter to the director
of the mint:
Treasury department, Nov. 20, 1861.
Dear Sir: No nation can be strong
except in the strength of God, or safe
except in His defense. The trust of
our people in God should be declared
on our national coins. You will cause
device to be prepared without un-
necessary delay. with a motto express
sing in the fewest and tersest words
possible this national recognition?
Yours truly,
s. P. CHASE.
James Pollock, Esq, director Of the
mint, Philadelphia, Pa.
1t was found that the act Of January
IS, 1887, prescribed the notices and
devices that should be placed upon
the coins of the United States, so
that nothing could be done without
legislation. In December, 1868, the
director of the mint submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury for appro-
val designs for one, two and three
cent pieces, on which it was proposed
that one of the following notices
should appear:
Our country; our God; God our
trust"
The secretary of the treasury, in a
mint, under date of December 9, 1868.
uses the following language:
l approve of your motto, only sug-
gesting that on one side the motto
should begin with the word "Our," 80
as to read: Our God and Our Coun-
try" and on that with the shield, it
should be changed so as to read: I'm
God We Trust"
An act was passed April %, 1864.
changing the composition of the one
cent piece and authorizing coinage of
the two-cent piece with devices of
which were to be fixed by the director
of the mint, with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, and it is up
on the two-cent bronze piece that the
motto, "In God We Trust" first ap-
peared.
The act of March 8, 1865, provided
that in addition to the legeno and de-
vice on the gold and silver coins Of
the United States, it should be lawful
for the director of the mint, with the
approval of the secretary of the treas
ury, to place the motto, "In God We
Turst" on such coins as shall admit
of the inscription thereon. Under this
act the motto was placed upon the
double eagle, and half eagle, and also
upon the dollar, half and quarter dol
| lars, in the latter part of 1865.
The coinage act of February 12,
1878, provided that the secretary of
the treasury may cause the motto, I'm
God We Trust" to be inscribed on
such coins as shall admit of such
motto.

Grand Junction this morning shows
the interest being taken in the Round
Up day at Canon City November 2S.
1907:
Grand Junction, Nov. 2, 'O7.
C. E. Reeves, Esq,
Canon City, Colo.
Dear Sir and Friend:
notice that you have the celebrated
outlaw mare, Nan Patterson, on your
program, to be ridden at Canon City
November 2S.
have my doubts about any cowboy
in Colorado riding her, ss she has
bad record. 1 was in South Park last
summer and saw them attempt to ride
her at three different meetings and
failed. She is the worst 1 ever saw.
1 intend to make the trip to Canon
City on that date and will feel repaid
If your men succeed in riding her.
Yours truly.

gave suggestions as to the course to
be pursued. The morning session was
spent in a discussion of the plan of
munications from number of local
unions which have pledged their sup
port to the movement
In the afternoon a local constitution
for the unions was adopted, as was
also a constitution by which the dis
trict will be governed.
The following delegates were elected
as members of the executive board, to
serve with the officers Of the district
John McMillen, Of Rockvale: Olinto
Maj colino, of Rockvale; Frank Casper
of Walsenburg, and H. r. PLAT Of
Aguilar.
The convention voted to apply for a
charter from the Western Federation
of Miners. The matter OF seeing to
the details was placed in the hands Of
the executive board OF the Western
Federation In Denver.
The convention yesterday soiemnly
pledged itself to work for the release
of John Mareno, who is now serving
a life sentence in the penitentary at
Santa Fe, New Mexico, for murder.
Members Of the Western Federation
believe that Mareno Is innocent. Ac-
cording to the story Mareno went to
the assistance Of his partner who was
in trouble with several deputy sheriffs.
After a few words, they claim that the
men rushed at Mareno. who struck
one OF them with a miners candle
holder and killed him,
Mareno, according to the story. did
not have enough money to bring his
witnesses to his trial, and pleaded
guilty to the charge, receiving a life
sentence.

Grand Junction, Colo.
My Dear Sir and Friend:
Your letter just received and can
assure you that If you come to Canon
City on November the 2Sth you will
certainly see the famous outlaw mare,
Nan Patterson, rode, as we have her
here now.
As this is our first attempt at Round
Up day at Canon City we are not
sparing any expense to make it a
success. Nan Patterson is not the
only bad actor we will have; we will
have the best horses or rather the
worst ones we can get as you will see
by the well known buckers that will
be here. Ben Bolt will make any of
them ride. Mexican Pete has long
list of we'll known riders on his string.
Pin Ears is also a we'll known actor.
Cassie Chadwick. Eveline Nesbit,
Harry Tracy and Harry Orchard will
also be ridden and a score or more Of
other bad ones will be tried out.
We have engaged some ol the best
riders in the state and our show will
be second to none, not barring Chey-
enne.
Yours truly,
C. E. REEVES.

DRY" KANSAS.
g. D. Stocks Furnishes Facts and Fl
cures Which Make a Good
Showing.

r. NJ White. Editor. Mexico. No.
Mexico, Mo-, Nov. I'll notice an
article in the daily Intelligencer OF
Nov. 20, setting out the evils Of pro-
hibition In bleeding Kansas. God
save her from her population If all
the allegations are true. Yet there
are some statements made which do
not reflect largely in favor Of the sa-
looms or saloon man when reduced to q
comparison.
Allowing for . reasonable increase
since the census Of 1900, Kansas
has q population Of 1000, 900 and To-
peka 10000 or more than 5 times that
OF Mexico.
The writer says there are now $4,000
United States licenses for retailing
liquor in Kansas. That means,if true
that one out OF every SO persons in the
state Of Kansas, including men, women
and children, rural and urban, white
and black are carrying Government
~license-and thus armed are openly or
secretly violating the laws Of their
state, they are not law abiding, but
are openly defying the law, not people
who respect and regard the Law, but
who like the Daltons at Coffeyvflle,
despise the law. II this be true and
the State Of Kansas Is SO completely
dominated by those who propose TO
sell liquor legally OF Illegally, then
there Is little wonder U friend,
Lewellyn, can point TO an enormous
reign Of crime and criminal commit
ment In Kansas. May God help us
that we In Mexico may throw of this
burden OF crime and evil beforewe too,
shall be oppressed and borne down to
the same slckening level.
We also read that in May 1901, there
we're q, 325 liquor sales made in Tope-
ka.
II Topeka has her quota OF the 2s,-
900 US licenses in the State, then
there are TIA persons SO engaged In
that city and they in 30 days have
made 2l,s25 sales or Ill sales each
day. We say 30 days because no man
would expect such q population TO res
pect the Lords day. These I'll sales
among 10000 persons mean that these
ia statesmen have succeeded each day
In making one sale TO one person in Sc
In that city, In other words ia sales
armed with one Government H.
cense each have succeeded In making |
III sales each day, that is the record
Mr.. Llewellyn gives. II be Is correct
then who 81 say prohibition does notl
prohibit in Kansas.
How about Mexico2 We are told
there is $4,000 expended for liquor
Mexico each year. $4,000 per day
..'is dc 10 cents per sale and allowing
the larger sales by the case and jug 10
bring up the beer sales to this avsrzhe |
means 1900 sales each day for soool
people, thus in Mexico we have 2s sales
