MAKES BITTER ATTACK
ON THE SHOSHONE CAMP

A startling and terrific attack
is made on the conditions of af-
fairs that are alleged to exist at
ShoshOne, the big camp of the
Central Colorado Power COM
pany, by the Steamboat Pilot, of
Steamboat Springs, in its issue
of yesterday. The charges that
are embodied in this attack have
been denied most cmphaticalIy
several times by officials of the
company. The article follows:
From time to time during the past
year horrifying reports have come
from Shoshone camp on the Grand
river some sixteen miles east of Glen
wood Springs. These stories appear
| to be well authenticated-are told by
many persons-and are invariably to
the same effect. They tell of cruelty,
torture and inhumanity meted out to
the men who are in the employ of
the contractors who are driving the
Shoshone tunnel for the Colorado
Power company, the $73 ,000,O 900 cor
poration which is weaving net of
wire over the entire state.
According to these reports armed
guards on horseback parade the camp
limits to prevent desertions: men by
dozens have been stricken with pneu-
monia 1.-The camp hospital is a farce,
not being equipped with cots, the
men being obliged to lie on the cold
floor when they can no longer stand !;
many men have been shipped out of
camp penniless and in n dying con-
dition to become public charge in
whatever city they may reach. A
dollar a head is collected monthly as
hospital fees, but the men receive
little or no benefit from the eXpen-
diture of the money. There is a big
saloon in the camp and for few
days after payday drinking and
carousing is participated in by the
men until their small earnings are
squandered, the bacchanalian orgies
being encouraged by the overseers.
Workmen are killed in the tunnel and
no reports are made of the accidents
to the coroner of the county.
If these statements are true the
Shoshone camp is a disgrace to civ
ilization and cruelties have been and
are being. practiced there that would
have shamed the torturers of the
Spanish inquisition.
These charges may or may not be
true, but they have been iterated and
reiterated so often that conditions in
the Shoshone camp should be inyesti-
gated thoroughly and Investigated
not as it has been, by advertising the
fact that such investigation would be
made at specified time. but quietly
and by some one unknown to the
company and to the contractors. Here
is an opportunity for the newly-ap-
pointed commissioner of labor to
make a record for himself.

wANTED...A PLACE TO PUT HIM.

The Des Moines Associated Chair
ties proposes to prosecute every wife
deserter under the desertion act and
press the charges home.
Now there is both sense and charity
IN this conclusion. To see that the
weak get their rights under the law is
the best charity that can be bestowed
To see that men who have assumed
the obligations of husband and father
keep their contracts with the family
and society is the best charity that can
be bestowed upon them. Every healthy,
able bodied man who assumes a. place
as head Of a family should be made TO
pay attention to his obligations That
IS charity, good sense and good citi-
zenship.
A fellow just arrested in Des Moines
complains that his wife annoys him
and loses him his jobs by having him
arrested under the 6esertion law She
swore out warrant in July. The Of
f7cers finally located him the other Gay
in Ottumwa- Now this cry of perse-
ponents of the law very much as this
deserter uses it. He had been nagged
and his job is gone. But it Will oc-
cur TO most persons that a man With
a job in Ottumwa should have got into
financial comm unication with his wife
long before the last days in November.
With the Associated Charities behind
the prosecution this view is likely to
be taken by the officers who try him.
Without the right kind of prosecutors,
the Lord alone knows what the con-
cIusion might have been.
This is a good and sufficient Law
when some one takes up the case and
carries it on. The hard headed man
or woman whose affections are not en-
gagged with the slzuliling husband is not
likely to turn off the pressure until the
goods are delivered We need one
thing additional to this law: The pro-
vision for the employment at wages
by the state or county of the wife de-
serter and tie lazy, worthless lout
who is willing to live on the earnings
of others. We need a place to put
him to hard labor for pay that will
keep his family. 1t IS a simple thing
but it would abolish half the poor
houses and close half the police courts
why don't We DO It?

WHEN GOOD MDN GO WRONG.
Madrid Register News

a neiglboring paper last week came
out with large headlines, announcing
that a Sunday Convert Jumps Bail.
Then the body of the article went on
to state that some one down at Cedar

had been arrested Friends then in
terposed and went his bail with the
result that the man forgot himself
and fled. AT the bottom of the article
in just line, appeared the simple and
modest statement that the man had re-
Gently protested christianity during the
Sunday revival meetings. The head
writer had seen his opportunity to ap-
peal to the sensational. and had en-
phasized a feature of the story which
was made unimportant by the article
itself
We do not know whether Billy Sun

the public or are more liable to go

ity after hearing the preaching of any
other man. But we do know that in
the spirit of the headlines Sunday

blow to any influence for good which
Mr. Sunday might cndeavor to WELD.
AS matter of fact few religious
people of today are inclined to minify
or cover UP the wrong doing of their

There is little doubt that the re-
suit next year, If the law should be
left as it Is, will show still further
increase in revenue with a fewer num-
her of saloons. If this result is at
tanned, then the two-fold object of the
law will be achieved, to wit, the in
crease in the amount of public rev.
enues and the decrease in the number
of saloons.
If the saloonkeepers should really
use the argument upon the legislature
that the $1,000 license will put many
| of them out of business, the reply will
be quick and conclusive. Many of them
might be put out Of business with adj
vantage to the community. That was

remain in business will be Of the bet

they can we'll afford to pay the license
fee. There should be no tampering with
this law; it should be left as it is
now.

apt expression.
This county has four terms of court
each year. In February, May, October
and December. If the terms are not
sufficient to get the business cleaned
up an extra term might be arranged for
occasionally and an extra Judge put
on for a week or so to catch up with
the business. That is, If the long con-
tinued dragging out these cases is for
want of time in which to hear them.
But we surnise that the delay is not
caused by want Of time by the courts
or judges. 1t is more likely to be be-
cause the cases are not presented. If
the latter is the reason for this con-
tinually encumbering the dockets with
these old cases, then the judges should
order them off the calendars. 1t is a
wasteful use Of the peoples court ma
ehinery and money to everlastingly
keep paying continuance of these cases.

from the pulpit that, God is more like

churchless. They perhaps lend their
presence to the services of this or that

that they are religionless. Our modern
paganism turns men from the modern
