VIOLENCE AGAIN.

The assassination of Premier Canale1as, of Spain,
in Madrid Tuesday morning gives the civilized
world reason to pause more and ponder upon
the ungovernable element that is always in rebellion
against human government
Not long ago our own nation was shocked by the
nearly successful attempt upon the life of former
President Roosevelt
At any time, under any government, this same
red hand of violence may be raised to strike down
the leaders of
Not necessarily is it the hand of any school Of
political thought. Frequently it is at the end Of
mere individuals arm, and it's blow is driven by
impulse for personal reprisal Generally speaking,
it denotes nothing but an alteration in the commun-
itys mind.
But philosophizing does not guard against its
sinister work lessen the shock of the accom-
pshed deed
Premier Jose Canalejas Mendez called
SPANS strongest man." The world had TO
regard him as one of the eminent statesmen of the
monarchy. His work was that of undermining SPAIN
of refurbshing her institutions and vitalzing her
ideals He si.:ty-two years old, and has been in
public life since he twenty-five years old,
stantly rising in the recognition of his government
He was editor of FL Heraldo, Madrid, in 1898, when
he broke away from the old Liberal party because
of the way the Spanish-American war conducted
The Radical party formed then, and he became
the head of it, remaining so till his career was
ended.
His assassination is another sacrifice, like others
before it,, since history began, to the hand of VIC

WHAT STRIKES COST.

That the strikes of the past year cost uniOnized
labor two million one hundred and forty-three thou
sand dollars spent in support of its members during
the time they were engaged in the seven hundred and
sixteen strikes recorded stated the other day at
Rochester, ~ Y, before the thirtysecond annual
vention of the American Federation of Labor, by
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Federation.
That was the actual cost of sustaining members
on strike. 1t paid out of the pockets of the
members of the unions and they not reimbursed
for it. 1t a dead loss to them.
Statisticians have established rules whereby cal
culations are made from time to time showing that
for every dollar the strikes cost unions, they cost
capital several dollars and that they cost the public
the ultimate consumer, most of ALL
So the assertion is quite safe that the two million
one hundred foryhree thousand dollars spent by
the unions last year represent but minor part o.
the total cost Of strikes in that period.
+ No one can consider these appalling figures and
remain unimpressed by the need that every facility
be extended for early and final arbitration of all dis
putes between organized labor and its employers.
When differences arise, they should be referred at
once to arbitration and be adjusted expedtiousy.

PAY BEET GROWERS

GET MILLION DOLLARS.
Nine Factories in Northern Colorado
Mail Big Checks to Farmers In

Greeley.-For the first time in its
history Weld county has had $1,000
900 payday in it's beet industry, as
checks for that much and half mil
lion more were mailed to growers from
nine factories in northern Colorado.
The exact amount paid to growers
for the three Weld county factories
was $976,24672, divided as follows:
Greeley, 1857, ,46O.1S; Eaton, $3.50, ,0S5.-
20; Windsor, $2SS,S01.34.
1t is estimated that there are $4,000
acres of beets in the county, but only
10000 supply the three factories in
the towns named above. The rest are
divided among the plants at Long
mont, Loveland, Fort Collins, Sterling,
Brush and Fort Morgan, and the total
which the growers of Weld will re-
ceive is estimated at $1,610,5S9, con-
servative figure which in all proba-
Eility will go much higher, as yields
III the districts which supply these
factories were unusually heavy. Some
yields were twenty-eight tons to the
scre with large percentages of sugar.

lars will be distributed in time for

Sofia, Bulgaria.-The allied Balkan
nations have assented to the Turkish
proposal to discuss the terms of an
armistice and eventual peace. The re-
ply sent TO the dispatch of the Grand
Nizier to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria
says:
The Bulgarian government, after
agreement with the allied cabinets of
Servia. Montenegro and Greece, in
forms the Porte that plenipotentiaries
Rave been appointed, with instructions
TO arrange with the commander-in-
chief of the Turkish armies the con-
ditions of an armistice and subse-
Quently to proceed to the conclusion of
leace."
London-The nations of the Balkan
confederacy, satisfied with victory, sig
rified their willingness to treat for
terms of peace at the request of the
yanquished Turkish Empire.
The lustre of their success has been
only slightly dimmed by their tempo
rary failure to overcome the rallied
Turkish army at the gates of Constan-
tinople and enter the Ottoman capi-
tai.
The stubborn defense encountered
by the Bulgarians at the line of forti-
fications at Tchatalja, and the realiza-
ton that enormous slaughter would be
necessary to pierce them at the point
of the bayonet, with every prospect
that their ranks would be decimated
by cholera before they had attained
success. doubtless proved the deciding
factors in inducing the conquerors to
listen to the urgings of the great pow
ers and refrain from pressing home
their victory.
simultaneously with the dispatch to
the Grand Vizier of their agreement to
appoint peace plenipotentiaries, the
allied Balkan nations notified the Eu-
ropean powers of the step they had
taken and thanked them for their Of
fer of mediation. They added that me-
citation was no longer, necessary, as
the Porte had addressed itself directly
to the Balkan States, who would now
treat with Turkey without outside in
tervention.
That the terms of the victors will
be drastic is known, but the powers
are doing their utmost to make them
less harsh than was at first reported,
without attempting to rob the Balkan
confederacy of the fruits of its war.
With the jealous eyes of Russia on
Constantinople, with the recrudes-
cense of the Austro-Servian difficulty
on the other side of what has hitherto
been known as European Turkey, and
with Rumania inquiring what she may
expect out of the spoils, there seems
to observers every inducement for the
Balkan nations to keep their demands
within moderate limits.
