The big meeting celebrating the ter
centenary of the translation of the
English Bible, the King James trans-
lation being completed in 1911, was
very largely attended, some fifteen
thousand people assembling in the
Auditorium at 8 o'clock Sunday, May
| T. 1t was memorable occasion, per-
feet in all it's details. Governor Shat
roth made a splendid presentation
speech introducing Woodrow Wilson,
governor of New Jersey, whose name
is so well known as to be almost
household word. To some Of his hear
ers, at least, the latter's address was
a distinct disappointment. 1t seemed
so cut and dried, not at all what Gov
ernor Wilson has taught his readers
to expect.
i Visitors to Denver, who have not
been here recently, will ,ote the prog

pleted, erected by the Daniels & Fish
er Stores company. 1t can be seen

give splendid view to persons
mounting the twenty stories which the
tower is said to measure.
The same firm had on exhibition in
their windows this week, the new Col
orado flag, adopted by the legisla.
: ture on May 6, 1911. The measure
was introduced by Senator w. b.
Sharpley, the bill being drawn by the
Denver chapter of the Daughters of
, the American Revolution. The flag is
very pretty and appropriate in color
ing and symbolism and was designed
: by A. c. Carson.
It consists of three broad stripes,
the two outer of Yale blue and the
center on white. In a similar po-
sition to the stars on the national flag
there is large letter c in read, with
gold center.
The capital C alone has four signi-
fications and the entire flag has ten.
1.-The color Red in Spanish, is Colo

2-The letter C stands for Colorado.
3-The letter C stands for Centennial
state.
4-The letter C stands for Colnmbine
state.
5-The gold stands for the Gold

6-The gold stands for the Colorado
sunshine.
1.-THE white stands for the Silver

9-The blue stands for Colorado's blue

10-The blue and white stands for the

In our opinion John Dietz, the Cam
eron dam defender" is merely big
bull-headed buffer, who mistook stub
bornness for patriotism. He killed
ar officer who was engaged in the
discharge Of his sworn duty and who
had no intention of harming Dietz or
any of his family. The country has
not gone to the bow vows to such an
extent that there is no justice in the
courts and we believe that any man,
or set of men, who teach that such
condition exists should be banished
to Russia. We have the best country
on all the earth, the oppressed from
all the other nations are flocking to
US to get fair show in life and
they find It here. The cheap talk
about the poor man having no show
for Justice is only the prattle Of fools
or demagogues who are playing to
the worst element.

II you want to be crooked in your
figures make up your schedules on a
proposition of averages. A grocer
might make a good average bid by
quoting on bid for years supplies

coffee and tea at big margin and
then pricing nutmegs, olives, lamp
chimneys, candles and August green's,
ap low price. In this way he could
beat an honest competitor on six

FOR RICH AND POOR.

The laws of this grand country OF
ours are intended to afford justice for
the rich and the poor equally, for
every man alike, and those who go
about harping on the string of spe-
cial privileges for the rich and in
justice only for the poor are enemies
to the country and its people.
II it was true that the law lacks
power to punish the rich would mil
lionaires like Walsh and Morse be
now in the penitentiary? Would
Deustrau, the St. Louis multi-million-
aire, have been hanged for the mur-
der of his wife? Would that power
full organization. the Standard Oil
company, be dissolved by order of the
court7
If there was not justice for the poor
man would Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison, have escaped serving full
term in Jail? Would the court, in
every case where defendant is un-
able to hire an attorney. provide ar
attorney for the pauper at the ex.
pense Of the public7
The law is necessarily full of tech.
nicalities and the rich man can, by
hiring astute counsel, gain tempo
rary advantage over the man who is
unable to pay for an almost unlimited
chain of delays and appeals. This is
fact, and q sad one, but the courts
OF the country, and the law-making
bodies of the different states, are re-
forming this feature in the laws as
rapidly as possible, but after all, the
gains are but few and the time. sure
ly comes when justice is meted out
The st. Louis murderer gained, by the
spending of almost seven millions OF
dollars, a respite Of a few years but
was at last hanged in the just the
same manner, and until he was just
as dead, as the veriest vagabond who
e'sr felt the drawing moose.
Our country is blessed with the
best laws known, the rights Of the
poor are protected in this nation to
an extent unheard of in foreign lands.
There is no royal road to fame and
honor here. The rail splitter, the
tanner and the boy who drove mules
on the canal tow path, have all won
their way to the highest honors the
nation can bestow while sons of mil
lionaires have died "unhonored and
unsung," does that spell favoritism
and partially toward wealth and the
down-trodden poor?
This talk put up by those who seek,
for their own aggrandizement, to
breed discomfort among the people, is
very tiresome. Do you, beloved read
er, believe that there is q county in
all our land where a man, simply be-
cause he is millionaire, can take
away the property Of the poor man,
take his life or assault his wife or
daughter, and not have to answer to
the laws! In some of the old world
countries these conditions endure but
not in this land Of ours, the life and
property Of the INDECENT husband and
the life and virtue Of his wife and
daughter, are just as well e-guard-
ed ~ are those Of the rich and all
the world knows It to b 70.

RAILROAD INCREASES STOCK.

NEW YORK, May l9.-At a meet
ing here today the stockholders of the
Lake Erie and Pittsbure railroad
voted to increase the company's stock
from $1,00O,000 to $4,000 900, and also
authorized large issue Of bonds. The
issue of stock and bonds is regarded
as largely a bookkeeping transaction
to take care Of advances that have
been made to the Lake Erie and Pitts
burg, all the stock Of which is own

NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

$3.50 -
The fact that there is no place like
home is fact that more or less fre-
quentiy comes to the mind, and the
heart, Of every man, woman and child,
in all this broad land of ours but is
no less true that home, to be real
home, must be home owned by the
occupant.
Among AL the classes Of employers
Of men it is an accepted fact that the
home owner is better and more de-
pendable employe than the renter or
the boarder and many of the estab-
lishments which employ vast num-
bers Of employees make it rule to
help and favor those who own their
own homes, or who are engaged In
making payments of their property
with view to becoming home own
ers.
There are numberless organizations
which have for the object the gain
ing of actual homes for the members
of the organization, the different
building and loan associations, saw
ings banks and the companies build
ing and selling buildings on the in
stalment plan, are all along this line
and are all intended to aid the work
Of home owning by wage earners and,
while some of these companies, and
some Of the different plans, may be
better than others, we insist that any
of them are greatly to be preferred
than none and that great work for
good may be accomplished through
any of the different mediums.
The tariff is an issue, the Canadian
reciprocity bill is an issue, but the
issue which strikes down to the heart
OF the common citizen is the issue of
owning his own home, home for
his wife and children, and to him the
fact comes with increasing force, as
he grows old, that there is mo place
like home," for the landlord cannot
molest nor make afraid the man who
owns the roof which shelters the fam
lily.
Durango needs more home owners,
more home builders, and nature seems
to have made an effort to make it
easy for them to accomplish that re-
suit. The mountains are full Of fine
building stone, the pine trees of the
nearby forests afford an exceptionally
fine grade of lumber, the brick yards
of the vicinity are turning out splen-
did article of brick and the cement,
or concrete, age is upon US.
For the man of good repute money
is to be had at reasonable rate of
interest and upon long time, the banks
and the different loan companies of
the city are the friends Of the man
who wishes to aid himself and his
home town by building home for
the process Of home building is also
town building and man building, bet
ter homes, better towns and better
citizens, are always the result of home
owning.
1t is said that the little villages of
Germany are peopled by the most con-
tented and well satisfied people in all
the world and the fact that the Vita
statistics, of the International leagues
show that the percentage Of home
owners is greater in that country
than in any other in all the world
may have great deal to do with
their state Of contentment for "bt
1t ever 10 humble, there's no place
like home"
