United labor bulletin. (Denver, Colo.) 19??-1915, 1910-04-08

a Primero disaster has ever occurred,
and seems inclined to allow things to go
on in the same old dangerous groove,
any day we may be shocked by another
disaster of as great or even greater pro-
portions as was Primero, and should
such a thing happen. could we, as state,
plead that We had done our duty and
done all possible to prevent it?
The coal miners of this state deserve
and have right to expect the fullest
possible protection for their lives and
limbs that the state can give them, and
our state government neglects a distinct
and pressing duty unless it at once takes
steps to find out by the fullest possible
inquiry the cause of the mine horror at
Primero and also the conditions under
which men are compelled to work in the
coal camps of southern Colorado. and
to talk about economy when referring to
such matters is childish.
II would be worth millions of dollars
to the people of the state were it pos
sible to prevent mine disasters, and yet
there is talk of economy. When steps
are agitated to this end, let us drop
the word economy and talk little more
about efficiency when it involves the
lives of thousands of the workers of this
state, and do something to show the
world that in Colorado life is valued:
that the citizens will no longer tolerate
any company or man or body of men do
ing business in such a manner as to en-
danger the lives, limbs and health of
their workers, and that no motives of
economy" will prevent transgressors
from being prosecuted.

PULLMAN WORKERS STRIKE.

Smoldering discomfort among the To-
900 toilers in the plant of the Pullman
car shops at Pullman, Ill., near Chicago
has broken out in the strike of 400 steel
joiners. which may be followed by the
walkout OF the ceiling gangs, the body

The labor skinning tactics of the Pull

such an extent that a general walkout
will result IL the company does not give
in to the demands of the men.

INDEPENDENCE DAY NOT
OFFICIALLY NATIONAL.

The greatest Of American holidays.
the Fourth of July, is by many sup
posed to be a national holiday, but
strange as it INDY seem, although OBJ
served in every part of the Union.
there is no national law setting aside
Independence day as a holiday. AS
far as the United States statutes are
concerned the Fourth is in no way diff
ferent from any other day in the year.
The observance Of the nations birth
day is left to the people and states in
dividually, and in so doing the central
government has made no mistake. Its
confidence in the people has not been
misplaced, for in every state an act
has been passed decreeing that the day
shall be- observed as a legal holiday,
and, although in a few of the southern
states business is transacted with but
little change from the usual, in the
majority and especially in the north
ern and western states the day is COM
memorated in a manner fitting so i'm
portant an occasion.

The appalling death rate from kidney
disease is due in most cases to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are usually
neglected until they become serious. The
slight symptoms give place to chronic
disorders and the sufferer goes gradually
into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Brights
disease, gravel or some Other serious form
of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, headaches,
dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are
irregular of passage and unnatural in APP
pearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys
at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney disorders-they cure where others
fail. Over one hundred thousand people
! have recommended them. Here's case

of allowing the children to set part of
them off in the morning of the Fourth,
for nobody knows how a boy suffers
if he has firecrackers and can't set
them off.
No country can celebrate a day as
well as we can. We have got more
money than anybody else, and we GER
tainly have got enough speakers.
l suppose there are hundred thou
sand men thinking up Fourth of July
speeches at this minute, and it is not
too many. l hope every one of those
men will remind the boys who listen
to him that this is the greatest country
on earth and that it can lick any other.
That is the great truth to keep ham,
mering home. Confidence in yourself
and confidence in your own country
should be every Americans motto, and
while he has that motto he can laugh
at kings and tyrants, because he knows
they stand no nVlng cnance.

The Russian nation is big, but it is
a mixed up crowd. I'm told they sleep
On stoves, and there isn't day in any
week that we couldn't lick Russia.
The other nations don't count. Ire
land is too small, and, besides, Ireland
is a part of America. The Germans
and the French can speak foreign Ian
guages. but fighting is not in their line
and never has been. In all history
you cannot find even a good middle

The Father of Medicine.

1t is generally understood that
scientific medicine began with Hip
pocrates, B. C. AGO. This great
man carried out a system of severe
induction from observed facts and
abhorred mere theories which had
no basis in actual experience. He
was always open to conviction and
candidly confessed his mistakes.
He was conscientious in the prac-
tice of his profession and valued
the success of his art more than sill
yer and gold. The great principle
of his practice was trust in nature.
He had great skill in diagnosis and
was extremely cautious in all that
he did. He originated the cele-
brated maxim, 'tLife is short, and
art is long" For more than TWEEN
ty centuries Hippocrates was the
great authority among medical men
the world over.-New York Ameri-

National Songs Few.

The national songs of America are
not, numerous, and few Of them are
very inspiring. The struggle for indie
pendence produced little poetry that
is remembered. and, with the exception
of yankee Doodle" which was an
adaptation of an old tune whose his
tory is obscure, nothing that ranks as
a popular song. Hail, Columbia"
came after the war and the formation
of the constitution and was really a
party song. The "Star Spangled Ban
ner" belongs to later period alto
gether. Yet the advocates of indie
pendence were not Indifferent to the
value of poetic appeals, and it was
not their fault if their good intentions
were not sustained by any very lively
inspiration.

It lives-the famous date
When Freedom took a desperate chance
And played game with Fate.
Upon this one immortal day
The balances went down,
And a starry flag upon the scales
Outweighed King Georges crown.

At sound of fife and drum.

Are turned to drops of blood,
