RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Who're the United States Is Behind

The plan for establishing a state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-
ton to the backwardness of the new
world in two important matters, the
relief of honest men out of employ
ment and the suppression of Migrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pr1-
vate organizations, in a few large
cities, there would be absolutely moth
Ing in the United States which .

er might compare to the labor colonies
Of his native land. Even q French
men. whose country is overrun by
vagabonds. can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness OF from 6.5 per cent. to seven
per cent of all workingmen. The
idea of allotting small gardens to men
out of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1918; to-day
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The

1000 plots assigned by the Workmen's

Popularity speaking, the heat Of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put of all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part of q
second. If the earth was a solid mass
Of coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace 1t would last Just SO
hours. The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount Of the solar heat that is ap-
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
sums heat caught by the earth is only
the 2.250-millionth part. In other

AoI.v OF Unprotherly Love

When the distinguished citizens
who came to Denver Oh Saturday to
make further arrangements for the
Democratic national convention, that
is to convene here, arrived they found
themselves in an atmosphere of "com-
pressed air" 1t took them some
lime to recover themselves rs If thes
had been caisson- confined or had just
emerged from a "loop-the-loop" ex-
perienos al Coney Island. Every
thing looked swry. They had to
tread softly. Here was the editor
Of the twin journals Of Democracy
in the off years shrieking murder"
"thief," "police" against the Demo-
cratic party and its local leaders,
threatening them wi b the peni'en-
tiary for the rest of their natural
lives. They found the Democratic
national committeeman in court beg
ging the Judiciary to permit him to
take zone last swipe" at the head of
his party; and when one of the more
daring of the visitors CROPPED his way
toward the ssnctum ssnctorum on
Welton street he found the den
plsstersd with Republican literature
and the high priest incanting impre-
cations on Democrats high aud le W,
home and foreign who would have
anything to do with Speer. Wher
ever the Democratic statesman from
afai, wandered they found Demo-
oracy in labor.

selves were permitted to enter the
gates under suspicion. The Bryan
Democracy looked cross-eyed at them
Were they not politiciansg OF course
they were, practioed politicians at
that! Then they must be "fernist"
the "Pesrless one," all politicians
are against him. Only the plain
people are for the "commoner" at
heart!
Visiting national committeeman
did explain with fingers crossed that
they were for Bryan First, last and
all the time" and that Bryan would
be ratified at Denver aud even then
they we're called upon to "cross the
heart to die" before they could be
given the glad hand.

 It seems that Cannon Saunders took out what he thought all of the car tridgcs In his father'u pistol. He left one therein, however, and entering the room where his brother was studying in regular highwayman fashion cried out Hold mp your hands" The younger brother did not respond and he was given q second command and it was then obeyed.
 You were mighty slow in coming in,' said the older brother and he be- gan snapping the pistol. To the sur. prise of the-two boys and consterna- tion of everybody in the house there was a loud report and Clay Saunders fell across the bed mortally wounded.
 The boy was rushed to the infirmary in an ambulance and every attention was given but in vain.
 The deceased was Q most promising child. The remains were taken to Bessemer. the former home where the interment is to take place Thursday. The boys mother died several months ago.
