Can a Party Paper
be Independent?

There is no question whatever
in regard to the power of the
press. Existing political parties
would soon go to pieces if all the
newspapers were to withdraw
their support and take up with a
new party. The new party
would come at once into power
no matter how strong the ma
chinery of the old parties.
Consequently leaders in all po-
litical organizations know that
they cannot succeed without a
party paper. 1t becomes the me-
dium through which the party
reaches the citizens but the ques-
tion arises, Can the party paper
retain its independence" From
what the Golden Globe said last
week, an affirmative answer is
given, but the Globe has shown
no proof whatever of the spirit
of independence except possibly
in very small measure on some
occasion when nothing could be
effected by what was said.
The Gugenheim purchase of a
seat in the United States senate
may truly be said to have been
Matched in jefferson county.
The two men who did more to
bring this about than any on
else except Gugenheim himself
were Jefferson county men whose
names have been household
words in this county. Now then,
what did the Golden Globe do to
prevent this shameless purchase
and what will it do if the effort
is made from now on to re-
enact the same crime?
There are other instances
which might be mentioned. Is
it not often true that we think

The Forum lis one of the most
historic sections of Rome lying
as it does between. the two fa-

and center of trade and later the
place where public meetings were
held and temples built to the gods.
1t was resplendent in marble,
gold, statuary ETC.; it was ne
elected, robbed of its wealth and
later used as a dumping ground
until it was covered at places 40

we are free and independent ana
declare ourselves to be such, as
the Globe did last week and even
to set itself up as the originator
and champion of political tree
dom; and yet be bound hand ana
foot? Is it not possible to make
ourselves slaves to. our party ana
then become so used to it that
we become blind to the situation
and boast of something we DO
not possess? This may become
the position of the strictly par
tisan paper.
Theodore Roosevelt said re-
Gently in one of his speeches. l
am an American first and a Re
publican next. " Where do you
find a party paper willing to say
a good word in favor of any OF
the principles of the opposing
party no matter how righteous
these principles may be?
The Enterprise is longing to
see the day dawn when Theodore
Roosevelt and William Jennings
BRYAN can lock arms instead Of
horns and work together in the
same party. These two great
men are both for the people, their
hearts are in unison but their par
tisanship keeps them apart.
These men should be toget her
and the insurgents in the Repub-
lican party and the progressives
in the Democrat party shonld be
one, and losing sight of past atfil-
iations lead the people of the
United States out Of the thraldom
and slavery of giant monopoly
and predatory wealth.
That day can never come un-
less the press of our country shall
become absolutely free and indie
pendent. What is office or the
spoils Of office in comparison to
the spirit of freedom. This is
why we regret the position taken
by the Peoples Press at Golden.
Two years ago the real inde-
pendent manhood of jefferson
county asserted itself in both par
ties and the union of the inde-
pendent Republicans and the pro-
gressive Democrats was a STEP
in the right0 direction, and the
people sAswed their appreciation
by electing nearly every candi-
date.
If bossism and corporation rule
is dead in this county how Ions
has it been dead? Or, if the
regulars are repentent and are
coaxing the insurgents back
what brought on this streak o:
repentance and change of heart
Can we believe such repentance
and coaXing possible if they ha(
been\ elected two years ago in
stead Of defeated. The quie
and slick manipulations to bring
the independents back is simpl!
we believe, a ruse to ge
back into power, and the re
peItance is like that of a priso
ner who is sorry he did wrong
now that he is caught, and w
bell eve the real boss, though IN
seen, is still pulling the strings
The punishment meted out tw,
years ago ought to be repeatet
this year not only in jefferson
county but throughout the stat,
of Colorado.

Strange Inconsisten'
Cy in County
Politics

The County Republican Con-
vention last week indorsed many
of the measures recomn ended by
Gov. Shafroth, but condemned
his action in calling the extra
session to carry out these meas
ures. Also on the very day
the said convention endorsed
Shafroth's Initiative and Ref
erendum, the Denver Republican
in an editorial denounced them
as populistic fads and they were
also similarly treated by the Den
yer County republican Convention
so that jefferson County will not
be able to effect very much. We
are glad however to see our
county politicians coming in line
with all progressive movements
even though driven to do so by
the defeat of two years ago. 1t
is also said that a resolution was
passed opposing the reelection
of Senator Guggenheim and that
w. G.. Lewis was one of the
prime movers in the fight against
the senator. What will the peo-
pie think of Mr.. Lewis, will they
not say truthfully it was all spite
work because the Senator would
not send Mr.. Lewis name to the
senate for re- election as U. S.
surveyor. In doing this the con-
vention voted against the man
who put up the money four years
ago, why did they do it? For no
other reason except that they
want to get back into power and
they had to turn down their best
friend to do it, but it surely does
not looOk very consistent to say
the least and what will Simon
say when he hears of it?

THE WAR BUGABOO.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your paper of to-day. under the
heading "Villiers Predicts War" Mr. Will
iers, the war correspondent. is quoted as
having forecast in a speech delivered be
fore the Canadian Club of Victoria, B. g,
"a struggle between Great Britain and
Germany" and. further. limited that on
the breaking out of hostilities between Ger
many and Britain Russia would attempt
to take India etc.
This war correspondent must be simply
prophesying as he would like it TO be AS
an Englishman I would like to tell Mr.. Viii
iers that he does not know what he is
talking about.
A few months ago Lord Northclife tMr-
Harmsworth), the London newspaper own
er while on a visit to this country vent
ured TO prophesy that there would be war
between Great Britain and Germany before
July l, July is now very near. and there
is not the shadow Of a shade of any war
between these two great nations: neither
,rill there be, as any man endowed with
an ordinary amount Of common sense will
know.
Mischievous statements like the above re-
mind me OF an incident Of my schooldays.
Going home one afternoon from Ian
cashire day school which I attended. with
three or four of my companions, We met
young fellow Of sportive tendencies. son
of one of our local magnates. who stopped
us and said: viii Sykes. do YOU think
you can beat Joe Prestwick?" Sykes re

ACTION N CRETE.

/ The announcement concerning CretGn
affairs which our Paris correspondent
made last Sunday on trustworthy author
! ity. as he told lis, is reassuring and ap-
pears to give d guarantee of the mainten-
ance Of peace and of the continued
working out Of those ordered processes
Of reform which the great powers ini-
tiated some years ago and which they
have thus far protected and promoted
with consistency and an unselfishness
which have not always been character
istic Of the much vaunted and often much
criticised concert.
Not long ago the Cretans. or those of
them who profess the Christian religion.
announced their determination to do two
revolutionary things. One was to exclude
Mahometans from the insular Assembly
and practically 10 disfranchse them. thus
arrogating the privileges and rights of
citizenship 10 the Christian part of the
| population; which would obviously have
! been an act Of gross injustice as we'll as
/ Of intolerance and bigotry, seeing that
/ by race descent and residence the Ma
/ hOmetans are every whit as much Cretans
3
and unjustifiable design tie Mahometans
and the Turkish government earnestly
protested. the latter with especial force
and pertinence since it has itself placed
Christians. Jews and Mahometans on the
same plane of political and social equal
ity throughout the empire
The other proposal was 10 elect Cretan
delegates TO the National Assembly of
Greece at Athens which is soon 10 meet
for the revision Of the Greek constitution.
and also 10 the Boule, or national parlia-
ment of Greece, and send them thither.
just as though the island were an inte-
gral part of the kingdom OF Greece This
would have been altogether revolution
airy. involving n denial and abrogation of
Turkish sovereignty such as the Turkish
government could not have tolerated
without practically abdicating its author
ity and functions and jeoparding its
very existence. There was, therefore.
justification for the intimation which the
Porte is said TO have given TO the powers,
that if delegates were thus sent and were
received and recognized by the Greek
government the incident would be re-
earded as cause for war between Tur-
key and Greece.
il WAS fitting that the powers which
again ana again had intervened for the
redemption of The Cretans from the mis-
rule of the old Turkish regime should
assert their authority once more for the
prevention Of a catastrophe which would
certainly have been disastrous to Greece
and TO the Cretans themselves ard mis-
chieyous 10 TGrkey Th@ initiative was
taken by Great Britain and France, and
plan Of potential Intervention was pre-
pared by Sir Edward Grey and Mr.. Pi
chOn, which was submitted to Italy and
Russia and accepted by them. This pro-
vides that Mahometans shall be admitted
10 the Cretan Assembly on equal terms
with Christians: thai Crete shall not lie
permitted 10 send delegates "a Athens;
that the nominal sovereignty of Turkey
shall be maintained over the island. and

pJTTSRTPG'S VERDICT.

The Hon. John Dalzelfs narrow es-
cape from defeat at the Republican pf1-
mary in his Congress district ought 10
satisfy him that on certain questions he
is out of touch not only with Republican
sentiment III the country at large but
with Republican sentiment in his own
community. The Tribune took occasion
not long ago to cOntrast Mr.. DaIZeil
reactionary opposition TO the continu-
ance of the work Of the Tariff Board
with the more liberal and rational atti-
tude of his colleague from Allegheny
County. the Hon. James j. Burke. III
view of what happened to Mr.. DalZell
and Mr. Burke in the primary last Sat
urday. it is Instructive to recall their
clash some two weeks ago in the House
of Representatives over the SO-called
Tawnev amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Dalzell admitted that as one ot
the House conferrees on the Payne tarli1
act he had been influential in mutilatfDg
n Senate amendment to that measure
creating a full-f1edged tariff commits
sion. He asserted that he was justified
in his opposition 10 a commission by the
sentiment of the House. although the
House never had the slightest chance
to indicate whether or not it favored a
commission. Furthermore. he objected
10 any inquiry by a board named by the
President into the cost of production OF
articles imported into this country Us an
infringement on the high prerogatiyes
of the House of Representatives. Mr..
Dalzell showed that he wanted no com
mission of any sort appointed and no
change made in the haphazard methods
by which tariffs have been hitherto
framed
In this Mr. Dalzell may have thought
that he was speaking for Pittshurg.
Possibly the country would have
thought SO, too. had it not been for the
explicit Reputation by Mr. Burke of
each and every one of Mr.. Dalzell's con
tentions The more youthful Repre-
sentative Of the seat Of the iron and
steel industry cordially approved the
Administrations desire TO have the cost
of production here and abroad scien-
tifically determined He welcomed the
Crea tion Of q commission 'to ascertain
and convey to Congress and TO the
American people the exact facts re
"garding the cost Of producing through
out the world all those articles TO pro
mote the manufacture of which in the
United States we have adopted a pro
"tective schedule" There was an alb
solute disagreement between these two
Republican Congressman from the same
state. county and city. One uncondi-
tionally opposed q programme urged by
the administration and the other uncon-
ditionally supported it. Which was the
better judge of the feeling of his con
stituency: At last Saturdays primaries
Mr. Dalzell was renominated by a plu-
rality Of about four hundred. and his op-
ponent is demanding q recount Mr..
Burke not only received Republican
nomination unOppOsed but also defeated
n Democrat for the Democratic nomina-
ton. Pittsburg knows what it wants.
So does Mr. Burke. Mr. DalzelI seems
tc have lost his eXpertness rs an inter
prefer Of public sentiment.
