Iditor Herald: Years ago we were
in the wildwoods of calamity howl

the b. Jkered, overalled rubes in the
country districts took heart OF life and
shouted for oncoming freedom; many a
horny-handed American "man with
the hoe," while digging spuds, hoeing
corn, doping insects with poison, do
ing farm chores or otherwise killing
time sang or whistled, Goodbye, old
party, good-bye!" The Pops were very
enthusiastic, only the old party didn't
stay "good-byed" very long. After
running Weaver for president, captur-
ing a few members of congress, seat
ing a governor OF two, ETC., the Popu-
list party became political Jonah be-
ing swallowed by the Democratic
whale. The most radical Pops Joined
the Socialists, while the more conserv-
ative muck -raked with the Democrats

cans with their 16 to ! message. and
with the so-called Jeffersonian Democ-
racy and few silver-fringed Pops,
they formed the triangular combina-
tion which featured the thorn-crowned.

But the people double-crossed the COM

silver Republican party? Gone into
the limbo of tie unreturning dead; and
echo only answers: "Where?'
This is ancient history of the nine
teenth century; now for the future in
the twentieth. After the successes of

the peoples party, allow old party po-

COMPETITIONS HUMAN EFFECT

Editor Herald: The following is re-
spectfully submitted to the considera-
ton of Alex. S. Arnold
AS a matter of principle in political
economy, it does not do to take the
figures of single year in order to de-
duce from them general laws. 1t is
necessary always to take a lapse of
time, during which modern industry
passes through the different phases of
prosperity and of stagnation.
One Of the first laws taught by econ
omists is that competition reduces the
price of every commodity to the min
imum cost OF production. Thus the
minimum wage is the natural price of
labor. What is the minimum wage?
All that is necessary to accomplish
the production of the objects indispen-
sable for the sustenance of the laborer
and to propagate feebly his race. In
times of prosperity the working class
will get more than this and in times
of stagnation less.
This is equivalent to saying that the
working class will be preserved as q
class only after many miseries, and
their misfortunes are necessary to ma
tional prosperity. T.P

When You Get Votes, Go After Positions,
Denver Leader Tells California Women
DON'T Be TOO MODEST,
SUFFRAGETTE'S ADVICE
Or. Mary Bates, a Guest in Los
Angeles, Sounds Warning:
Beware of MenY

Dr. Mary Elizabeth Bates, one of
Denver's noted woman physicians and
parlliamentarian and lobbyist of
ability, is a guest in Los Angeles, and
since her appearance ct the Profession
al WOman's league has been eagerly
sought by members of her profession
and also by officers and directors of the
Political Equality association.
"One of the first and most import
ant items for California women to re-
member" she said yesterday after
noon in the Political Equality league
headquarters, ais that when they get
the vote they mustn't be too modest
about asking political positions. The
vote Of women may be made a strong
political factor, and this point the
men have generally realized more than
the women. When we held our jollif-
cation upon securing the right of suff-
rage I suggested to the women pres
ent that we maintain ourselves as dis
tinctly 'woman's party and by that
method demand the passage of such
laws as we required, and the political
preferment to which our training and
qualifications entitle us, but Denver
women, failing to realize that the i'm
mense vote which we polled, 40 per
cent Of the total, could control, did not
accept my suggestion"
DR.. Bates cited many instances to
prove the logic of her suggestion, and
1t is unquestioned in her mind that
when the law is adopted here women
will be wiser and more skilled in leg
islative and parliamentary procedure
and will make the franchise some
thing vital in the political history of
their own lives and the state.
BALLOT HELPS WOMEN
Having the ballot in Colorado has
made women realize their responsible
tiles, has made them seek to under
stand them and learn to meet them.
The ability to draw and prepare a bill
for the legislature, to make it say the
things you want 1t to say, and not say
the things which will interfere with
its passage by all the committees and
readings and other proceedings of the
said the speaker, land sometimes I
have prepared a bill carefully and had
it edited and approved by district at
torneys, judges of the higher courts
and other authorities, only to have 1t
altered by the change of merely one or
two little words so that it's entire
meaning Is changed, and then the leg
islators claim that 1t is no good be-
cause a woman drew and prepared it."
DR.. Bates related In half humor-
Gus manner some of the experiences
which surrounded the passing Of the
law known in Denver as the white
slave" law. The bill was kept in COM
mittee until almost too late to allow
its passage, then it was lost from the
calendar several times; in fact, so
often that in one day DR.. Bates had
to see to its proper placing four or

LESSON OF THE NORTH
noa Anxeles Mining Review.l


The defeat Of Congressman w. F. En-
glebright In the First California district
should furnish food for thought to
those who pretend to believe that min
ers, of all people, are unalterably op-
posed to conservation In any form. The
district lost by the stand-pat congress-
man is composed in large measure OF
mining communities, with lumber inter
ests second in numerical strength; and
yet a Republican majority of 1000 has
been turned into a Democratic majority
of something over hundred. Mr.. En-
glebright has been one of the staunch-
est of Mr.. Ballinger's supporters, and is
also known as friend of the interests
behind the Cunningham steal in Alas
ka. Those who know the district we'll
aver that the latter affiliations have
proved his undoing, and thus, by in
ference at least. we have proof that
miners do favor conservation and that
they are strongly against special priv
ilege and stand-patism in any form.
One Of the few arguments that could
be adduced for Mr. Englebright's return
to congress was his invaluable work
in connection with the bureau of mines
That he did excellent service in secur-
ing the passage of the bill is an ac-
knowledged fact, doubtless used to the
utmost advantage in the campaign, but
yet a mining district has returned him
to private life by vote that leaves no
question of it's intention.
The fact of the matter is that the
miner, with every other man who In
herently believes in the square deal,
is in favor of sane and legitimate
policy of conservation, in spite of the
fact that special privilege prevents his
unbiased expression of such opinion.
The action of the American mining
congress in placing itself on record as
opposed to all forms Of conservation,
including the leasing system, since
practically adopted by the administra-
ton, is one of the most serious mistakes
it has ever made, and one that will
initiate in a great measure against its
future strength and success. The Min
ing Review has always believed so,
and its opinion Is shared by Mines and
Minerals, the Salt Lake Mining Re-
view. Mining Science, and several other
leading mining journals in the country.
Since this action was taken at the Los
Angeles convention eight weeks ago,
the administration has trimmed it's sails
to the popular breeze, and of all similar
organizations in the United Sttaes, the
American mining congress alone re-
mains becalmed in the stagnant sea of
reaction and anti-conservation. It
should take steps to correct its posi-
tion II 1t hopes to accomplish the
greatest good for those whom 1t would

ECONOMIC EQUALITY

The Grover Cleveland type OF Demo-

was filed with women who came to

admitted a shyness in discussing 1t

The child labor laws of Colorado,

full are they of having their children
do any work that they hesitate to
ask them to help with the dinner

According to the laws Of Colorado
there is no possibility of any child suf-
fering any injury from working and
history shows US that some Of our
