We beg to acknowledge a ticket en-
tit ing US to free membership in the
Direct Legislation League of Colorado.
1t is in the nature of recognition
card and has all the counter sigma lures
and fuss and feathers which usually ap-
pear on pass of real value. If it's all

William Haywood. with his blantant
verbocity, is aff citing the labor unions.
The sooner the labor unions can get rid
o. such leaders as Haywood and Emma
Goldman the better for them. Some I'M
ion leaders care about as much for the
interest of the laboring man as some
crooked politicians do for the interest
of the dear people. "-Mancos Times
Tribune.
Ye editor is in receipt of ''recogni-
ton card" which attaches US to the
Durango branch of the Direct Legisla-
ton league. Now what in ell have we
been guilty of? Needless to say we ap-
preciate the compliment, but refuse to
line up with such ancient Pur,tans as
James A. Shinn-we have been skunked
too often in politics. Durango Demo-
crat.
Simmered down to teaspoonfull of
gravy, the recent fearful" doings,
advertised with scare heads by the
Denver News and it's rotten contemp-
orary the Post, turn out to be nothing
more than little Alphonse and CASTOR
act by ex-Assessor Arnold, the supposed
martyr, and Assessor Hiram E. Hits,
the supposed bully brig and. in the Den
yer County Court House. Veracity hid
its head when the reporters for those
papers got onto their job, and effaced
itself completely by the time the man
aging editors got hold of the copy. -

Denver is up against the commission
proposition. The city has been ruled
with an iron hand and in seeking relief
the people will jump from the frying
pan into the fire if they adopt the COM
mission form of government, which CEN
tralizes into the hands of few men the
entire government of the city. 1t gives |
mayor or alderman now has and that is |
the very proposition Denver should avoid |
instead of embracing. The wrecking and |
grating powers of one corrupt COM
mission e. woul1 enable him to steal the |
city blind FIT. Collins Express.
Uncle Joe Cannon peremptorily re-
fused to name a list of the twenty

vile Herald Democrat
No matter how noble his speeches,
the peanut politician eventually will do |
the eXpedient, instead of the right |
thing. Trinidad Advertiser.
If John Barkhausen of the Denver
Democrat will stand under the mistle
toe, perhaps he and Claude Street can |
kiss and make up. = Steamboat Pilot.
To judge from reading the Denver
Post and the Denver News. Sedan and |
Gomarrah were just plain pikers in the
business Las Animas Democrat.
The Chicago packers are making
strenuous efforts to keep from being

To judge by the Arnold Hits affair
no one loves political job like Den
verite. -Ordway Call.
Joe Cannon has followed Bryan's eX-
ample and announced that he will never
be president. Mr.. Cannon has nothing
