shuttlecock game played with the
members of the trade union movement
than this? How in the name of com
mon sense can a movement be non
partisan when everybody directly con-
cerned In that movement is practical
ly ordered to vote for certain man
or certain party and nobody else?
President Gompers had before the ex-
ecutive council met last week officially
declared that the wage worker who
did not vote for Bryan would lose his
manhood, inasmuch as he would prove
that he was not an independent voter.
Yet the council not only offers a de-
Tense of President Gompers but de-
clares to the world that his policy is
non-partisan. What in the world is
partisan? What is freedom or liberty I?
Is it to be limited to the opportunity
of voting for one particular man,
selected by one authority who tells us
who that particular man is? Is it to
be branded as one who has no "real
independence" of, mind and who is no
true citizen II he does not vote for
the man designated by that authority?
Let members of the organized labor
movement ask themselves these cues
tions after they have read the latest
mon partisan" effusion of President
Gompers.
Most certainly organized labor
should support it's friends and oppose
its enemies. There can be no perad-
venture of a doubt on this point. But
we would like to know in what man
ner or form President Gompers, as a
leader of the trade union movement.

ment when he is urging the success OF
a party of which one Of the most
active heads and leaders is Haskell.

very stiff questions and shows how
the president of the American Fedora
ton is now in rather deep water"
The editorial follows in full:
That President Gompers of the
American Federation Of Labor and
those directly allied with him in the
attempt to commit the trade union
movement of the United States to a
partisan political action are reaching
or have reached deep water is evil
denced by the fact of another zap
peap and explanation" being issued
to the rank and. file by the executive
council of the A. f. of L. These ap-
peals or explanations are already be-
coming more frequent and they are
more and more becoming defensive
and less forceful at that of the policy
of President Gompers. This is alb
solute proof that at least some of the
members of the executive council are
not so enthusiastically in the demo-
cratic band wagon as the head of the
organization is, the truth is some of
the executive members are opposed to
the policy.
1t is not surprising that the burden
of the latest appeal" or "explana-
ton" of the policy of President Com
pers is a repetition of the old cry that
all that is desired is for organized
labor to be non partisan and vote for
it's friends and oppose its enemies"
This is platitude as old as the hills
and specious political plea that has

a time long before Samuel Gompers or
any of US We're born. In the present
instance 1t really becomes an insult
to the Intelligence of every member of
the trade union movement who reads
The American Federationist, edited by
Samuel Gompers, and the official or
gan of the organization that is made
up OF almost all the trade unions of
the United States. In an editorial OF
that official organ and In an issue Of
this very month President Gompers
definitely states that to be a real in
dependent voter a wage worker must
vote for Bryan. He does not even at
tempt to juggle with words in this In
stance but puts the definition in the
most unequivocal terms. There is no
possible loophole for dispute: the de-
cree is there--if you are an independ-
ent voter you will vote for Bryan We
cannot possibly avoid the ultimate
conclusion that the logic Of this decree
will lead us to, viz. that IL we don't
vote for Bryan we are not Independent.

LaSal Mountain Thieves
Getting Scared Up.

Getting Scared Up.
Those outlaws of the LaSal noun
tains who have been so systematically
making incursions into Colorado and
helping themselves to desirable horses
are finally up against a proposition
which promises to result in putting a
check to their operations, if it does not
exterminate the gang. The time when
they could operate with apparent i'm
punity is past and short shrift will be
given them in the future.
The stealing of five valuable horses
from H. M. Freeland on September "a,
as reported in The Cpiterion at the
time, was the elimination of series
of similar outrages extending over
long term of years. The boldness of
the operations and the almost universal
success in getting away with the goods
without detection, would Indicate that
the organization was powerful and had
the support of wide circle of sympa-
thizers. That this is true no one cog
nizant of the circumstances doubts,

the bandits have so long been enabled
to successfully play their game.
When the Freeland stock was stolen
Deputy Sheriff Baxter took the trail
determined to make an example of the
fellows. The sheriff's office widely ad-
vertised the crime and Deputy Baxter
gave his personal attention to the mat
ter. The hunt evidently became dan
gerously hot for the rustlers for they
released the stock over on the Roubi-
deaux, headed it on the back trail and
scattered to meet at their rendezvous
when the hunt should have quieted
down, no doubt imagining that the
chase would be abandoned at the re-
turn of the horses, and soon forgotten.
But the farmers and stockmen of the
Western Slope had reached the limit OF
patience, and were not in the mood to
forget. They had another idea regard
ing the matter. An association for
mutual protection, wide spread IN its
scope and imbued with grim deter
mination to put every horse thief where
he belongs no choice between hades
and the pen-was formed and an active
campaign at once inaugurated. These
gentlemen mean to accomplish results
and will pay $500 for the arrest and
conviction of any horse thief operating
in this territory. With this association

easily escaped to their haunts, where
