The Denver Express says of the late Robert w. Steele, chief
justice of the supremecourt of Colorado:
HUMANITY ALONE INTERESTED HIM. UPON THE BENCH
HE SAW ONLY HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE WOE md MISERY
THAT COME FROM DENIAL OF EQUAL JUSTICE TO ALL"
Such was Judge Steele, a even his enemies admit. His death
does not mean loss to Colorado. to the state judiciary to even tn.
nation, alone. 1t is that awful 1oss-A LOSS TO HUMANITY.
A supreme court judge who was For Mem" A Colorado judge
who dared to take the Beast that organized money holds in leash
fled his craven conferees and turned degenerate precedent to the
wall that there might be less denial of equal justice to all.
We often pass over such losses too lightly. We look o it as
a mere Colorado affair. The vacancy will be filled, and Colorado
will go ahead. We make much more fuss, nationally, over Rookie
fellers sore throat or Carnegies asthma than over the passing
away forever of a Steele.
Yes, all humanity has lost a champion and an answering
friend in Judge Steele. We will go right o. mussing about the
tariff, struggling over party measures, gnawing each other owe
Ballinger and Taft, wrestling with each other over Roosevelt, roar
ing and working for this, that and the other law from which we
hope for relief.
lcans, democrats, socialists and all, the rights, the lives, the desti-
MES of all of us, and of our nation, ARE IN THE HANDS OF THAT
MAN ON THE BENCH!
Humanity alone interested Judge Robert w. Steele. Upon the
bench, he saw only human rights and the awful crime of denying
equal justice to all. Higher encomium than this can be spoken of
no mortal man.
Well may men everywhere bow their heads in grief over the
passing of this chief justice. He was not Colorados only. HE WAS
ALL HUMANITY'S.

dawned upon David that homes

At last Mother Sneed had to tell
Father Sneed. David's rawlings

"Oh, look there he is, see his new cap. l fixed that gold braid
around it myself" A cheery-looking young woman with another
woman some years older was passing along Pacific avenue a few
nights ago.
There was a proud beam in the young womans eyes as she
gazed at a young man standing in the middle of the street and evil
IDENTIFY put there to help out the street car traffic. AS nearly as
could De Judged the young woman was the young mans wife.
Did you hear her Dragging about the gold braid on her hubbys
hat. Wonder he couldn't get a better job than standing out there
In the street," Two young women well dressed overheard the
CHEEKY looking wifes remark and one of them ridded herself of the
rather spueful observance.
We have a woman glad because her hubsand has a good posi-
ton, is earning honest money and wears gold braid on his hat that
she arranged herself. He isn't behind the luxurious desk of some
banking house nor he isn't debating "big" affairs to other men.
BUT The chances are that there is love and devotion in the
home of that young man with the gold braid on his hat and the wife
who was proud because he had been placed in a position of trust.
The happiness in that young womans eyes a s she looked toward
the husband. in his more or less humble place, showed the real joy
of living. She was proud of him. And more than likely he has
cause to be proud of her. Such young men and such young women
should be held as among our most valuable possessions. They are
doing their best.

Poor, white-haired Mother
Sneed let him rave. She didn't
tell him that it was partly his
fault. She was inclined to take
the blame herself. And while
she talked. in her soft, tired voice,
big, gruff Father Sneed suddenly
saw that mother had, all these
years, been making a fight for
home, and that this was her last
stand. The Sneed home lights
would die out now if he kept his
heart hard. He threw his big
arms around her and said in tones
of the old wooing days:
Mary, you're the heart of the
home"
And so the Sneed family, with
its secret of shame, began all over
again as best it could.
This story of the Sneed family
is told in a play called THE Fam

was written by Robt. II. Davis, a
magazine editor. The critics said
that it was not well put together
