THE CURTAIN
HAS FALLEN
On the Moyer-Haywood- Pettibone
Persecution--Most Dastardly
Conspiracy Against Organized
Labor Ever Known.

The curtain in the last act of the
great Western mclodrama of real
life has fallen. George A Pcttibone
has been pronounced not guilty of
completely in the murder of Elk
Gov, Stounenberg and the case
against Charles III. Meyer has been
nollled, Pettibone has been in
prison for two years and is n phys-
lcal wreck and it is doubtful wheth
err he will ever recover his health.
throughout the trying ordeal of
two long years of imprisonment.
during which period the mine op-
orators and their Pinkcrton thugs
plotted i'll every way possible to
railroad the miners to the pallows
Pettlbone, secure in the knowledge
of the innocence of himself and his
colleagues, looked out upon the
world with perfect confidence and
fearless, unwavering belief in the
Justice of the working class cause,
All fair reports agree that his
cheerfulncss and sunny disposition
while suffering the most damnable
persecution concoctcd by the rich
mine.owrers and their unhanged
dogs, was nothing short of MARVEL
GUS and demonstrated his entire
innocence OF all wrougdoing With
out single sentence of further
proof, Yet he suffered martyrdom
for two years because the sense of
righteousness and justice for the
working class Smoldered in his
bosom so strongly that he dared to
resist the brutality and tyranny
of the Guggcnheims and Peabodys
and fight the battles of the poor.
Who will give back to him those
two years of life and libertyH Who
will make restitution for this
crime! If the working people of
Colorado have any sense of the
eternal fitness, of things they will
now demand an eye and tooth
tor a tooth, and elect Pettibone
governor. And then let the pris-
on yawn for the dastardly conspir-
ators, who sought to destroy Moy-
er, Haywood and Pettibone, who
prosecuted thousands of innocent
men, women and children, and
who have succeeded in dragging
the fair name of Colorado to such
depth of infamy that it is today
greeted with a sheer in all haunts
of civilization, While the curtain
has fallen the lessons of this drama
Will never be ef1aced from the
minds of 1iberty-loving Americans.

"Ihe Humnn Side of the Labor
Question:" the Subject of Dis
cussion---Whose Business Is 1t?

The courts of law have decided
that u mans market value is lust
about 81, $50 more than sheep =
unless the sheep has fancy pedi-
gree. He is worth, this human
machine, $4,000. Well accept
the figures, even though they make
us feel small and of little value.
But here comes man who
wants thousand of us-worth
50, 100000. He wants us to be-
come part of his great system of
production. He needs us, because
without our trained movement his
system will be worth just so much
iron for the scrap pile. He had
nothing to do with our develop
ment. a thousand factors have
entered into our makeup for which
he was not in any way responsible.
We therefore, advance him five
million dollars in the persons of
ourselves, at stated rate of inter
est, to be paid US in wages. Eco
nomic;llly speaking, some of us are
really worth more than five
thousand dollar machine, but some
of us may be worth less. Let us
take it for granted for the present,
that we are receiving just what we
are worth.
But the thousand of us pay
back in taxes, of various kinds,
the money which helps establish
the community in which his facto-
ry is located, and we help main
the peace and prosperity of the
town, supporting legislators and
municipal officers, which make the
town safe place in which to
transact business. In the making
thousand times as much to do as
the factory owner: We helped to
make the charter under which he
runs his business. He cannot say,
therefore, that "this is my business
and L shall run it as | please"
'It is OUR business, and we shall
run it to our mutual in crest, ~
must be the true sentiment which
shall impel us to do our best to
make it the finest business, that we
| know how to make it.
Both OF US must seek eacn OInefS
welfare Everything that hinders
the progress of "our business
must be eliminated. There must
be an absolutely square deal on
both sides. We have, together,
let us say, ten million dollar in,
veStment at stake. We should
earnestly seek to avoid the usual
hindrances to success-namely,
strikes, lockouts, fire, flood and
pestilence. Mostly should we
guard against the human frailties
which emperil every enterprise,
and which will stand i'll the way of
progress.
If either of us insist that this is
MY business, exclusively, acting
as individuals and seeking only
CUR individual interests, then we
at once place ourselves outside the
realm of mutual helpfulness, and
: we become veritable anarchists,
deserving the penalty which at

Waltz 10 Not Modern.

Many people labor under the I'm
preston that the waltz Is OF modern
origin, owing to the fact that 1t was
comparatively unknown in America or
in England until the early part OF the
nineteenth century. But it was brought
originally from Provence to the court
of Henry II. of France, at Fontaine-
bleau, by the Comte de Saulte. Mary,
queen of Scots, imported it into Scot
land, for history records her as hav-
ing incurred the bitter wrath and fierce
denunciation of John Knox and Of 9TH
er divines Of the "land of cakes" for
dancing it on one memorable occasion
at the palace Of Holyrood. Toward
the end of the seventeenth century It
was danced throughout southern Ger
many and Austria, the celebrated waltz
tune and popular song, 20, Du Lieber
Augustin,' dating from 1910. But, as
already stated, it was not until the first
two decades of the nineteenth century
that it made it's first appearance In
England and the United States, when
it was alternately denounced and laud-
ed by the poets Of the epoch.

The quality Of the secular instruc-

me extraordinarily high. 1t happened,
for example, that was taken into q
classroom where lesson In English
was being given to some French boys
OF sixteen, mostly the sons Of opera
tives. The exercise was conducted in
excellent English, which the pupils
seemed to speak almost as readily as
the teacher, scd the point under dis
cussion when l visited the class was
one which would have puzzled Har-
ward freshmen. 1t was the distinction

quail, who is handy with the gun and
has fine bird dog whose work as q
retriever is remarkable loaned him to
a friend who was only an amateur at
the business. About the middle of the
forenoon Of the first day the dog re-
turned to his masters home. The lat.

number Of birds were secured. The
next day he met the friend who had
borrowed the dog. What is the mat

them. but missed. We afterward got
up number Of the scattered birds
and took q dozen shots or more, but
got nothing. and the dog put his tall
between his legs and struck across the

1t is evident that the dog, disguised

class and decided to cut It out.-Co-
