The Spirit ct Lawlessness.


What is the matter with mankind7
has human life grown cheap?
Is Gods commandment left behind,
Has conscience gone to sleep2
Has murder ceased to be a thing
From which a nj should shrink?
The slayer's freedom soon Is gained;
The juries hear the law explained
And scorn 1T, with a wink.
What evil spell is spread abroad,
TO shame our age and land,
That fear of neither law nor God
May stay the siayer's hand?
What demon has been conjuring,
That murder Is q Jest,
That he who bears the mark of Cain
No longer feels the ceaseless pain
Of conscience Il his breast
The murderess no longer fears
The ~darkness OF the night;
No dreadful means ring in her ears,
Her heart and step are light.
She proudly struts upon the stage
And hears the crowds applause;
Nolhannting ghosts disturb her dreams,
No. witches u her with their screams.
She laughs at man-made laws.
The slayer, while his hands are red,
Is told to go his way,
Or rests upon a dewny bed
And trusts the laws delay.
A shame has come upen our age,
And righteous men. aghast,
are asking why and wondering
If life has coma to be a thing
Whose sacrednes9 is past.
The children learn to laugh at rules
And scorn authority;
they shout defiance in the schools,
From law and order free.
The beardless hoodlums wreck and burn,
A~pplauded by the crowd;
The rich. for pleasure or for gain.
Ignore the statutes and remain
Respectable and proud.
What Is the matter with our land7
Is crime no ongsr base?
1t is not hard to understand
Nor difficult to trace.
Cur children 800 at every turn
How laws are set aside,
How bribed and perjursd men go free,
How Murder holds high revelry,
And Justice is deled.

"Why does a man like dog?" re-

and repeated: why does man IKE

well, there are numerous reasons,
though dog is not a reasonable pc
ing. A dog will lick the hand that
beats it; dog will eat crust and a
bone and bless the giver; dog thinks
whatever a man does is right and
proper; a dog has no rights that
man is bound to respect: dog asks
no embarrassing questions; a dog IS
always grateful, no matter for what;
a dog does not ask the man to stay at
home nights; a dog is satisfied to ksve
the man whether the man loves the
dog or not; dog submits to any and
all impositions without protest; dog
does not consider itself mans eqaal;

FAKE ADVERTISING A CRIME
Clear Conscience the Reward for
Publisher Who Refuses to Print
Deceptive Matter.

In an address to the students of the
Northwestern University School of
Commerce A. P. johnson. advertising
manager Of the Chicago Recopd-Her-
aid, said:
The greatest drawback in the de-
velopment of modern-day advertising
comes from the same source that un-
dermines all other professional and
commercial enterprises-the takers,
schemers and promoters of fraudulent
undertakings that depend upon adver-
tising to accomplish a dishonest pur-
pose.
The publisher of any medium hav-
ing general circulation, whose edi-
torial columns are read and accepted
in good faith by the public, whose
opinions on the political and economic
questions Of the day are read and be-
lieved. and who. at the same time. ac-
cepts and prints advertising which he
knows is fraudulent, deceptive and
misrepresenting, commits the great
est social and civil crime ever perpe-
trated on a civilized community.
Refusing fake advertising does
not pay in direct increase of legiti-
mate advertising, nor does 1t signify
that a paper pursuing such course
should expect any great material re-
ward, other than the satisfaction that
comes to any one who deals on the
square with his fellowmen."

colorado's OIL Production.

Colorado has two we'll established
producing oil districts. at least one
other that only waits for adequate
transportation facilities to Join the
ranks of the producers. and number
of promising prospects where proper
development is likely to bring salts
factory results. The Oldest and pres
ent best oil district in the state is
located in and near the city Of Flor
ence, in Fremont county. The record
of the district for 1911 shows total
production of 100000 barrels OF crude
oil. This is 5000 barrels greater than
the record for 1910, and is an addition
al demonstration of the reliability of
this district as a steady producer.
The second producing district of
Colorado is located in Boulder county.
The production of crude oil in this
district for 1911 was 10000 barrels.
with q value of $4,000. This was
1000 barrels less than the production
recorded for last year.

Coal Output Normal.

The figures given out this year by
the state coal mine inspector, giving
in detail the production of coal in
Colorado during 1911, indicate on their
surface a decrease of a little more
than 100000 tons by comparison
with the output year ago
AS matter of fact thee oal produc,
tion of Colorado during 1911 was
greater than the normal production
during the year Immediately preced-
ing. There is a normal increase in
spite of the fact that there is an &C.
tual decrease And the reason is
this:
During the year beginning 1910
there was a decidedly abnormal un-
natural demand for coal from Colo
rado. 1t was caused by the closing of
mines in other states-mines that
should have been supplying large
amounts of coal. There were strikes
among coal miners in Illinois, Kansas,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. Coal mines
in those four states were producing
far less than their normal output.
The result was great demand for
Colorado coal. The mines in This
state were worked night and day to
supply the unusual demand. The
normal output OF Colorado mines was
increased more than 100000 tons.
During the year beginning January
l. 1911. the coal mines of Colorado
produced, according to the state in
spector's figures. 10,O75.s61 tons. Dur
ing the year beginning January /, 1910.
the output was 12,104.SS7 tons. And
the difference between the two figures
is less than the estimated number of
tons shipped from Colorado during
the year 1910 as direct result of the
strikes in the four states named.

Georgetown.-The year just draw

porous. More mines were undergoing
development than at any time in

been a decrease Of per cent in the

compared with 1910, the final figures
will show some gain in the gold. silver
and lead production, with q loss in
the production of copper and zinc, so
that the total output of the district in
values will be practically the same as
in 1910.

toward the more economical handling
of it's ores; these were the dominant
features in the story written by Grip
pie Creek in the Colorado record OF
1911.
There were mined 92,920 more tons
of ore than in 1910, the loss of few
thousand in output being due to the
falling of the average value to $17.71
a ton. The output of the year will

corporations.
The year brought the completion of
the Roosevelt deep drainage tunnel,
the largest private enterprise of its
kind in the world. 1t is work three
miles in length, which has cost the
mine owners of the district 100000
and required four years to drive. Be-
cause Of it tapping the water flow
the deep levels have been drained
about 100 feet, permitting many of
the mines whose workings had been
stopped at the water level to resume
sinking. While little addition to the
output has as yet come from this
work, the success of the stupendous
undertaking has had stimulating ef-
feet on all mining in the district and
adds many years to "the life" of every
one of its mines.
