Washburn, formerly of Stanford uni

the unusual document. He said:
Il am proud to claim Washburn as
a pioneer of woman's freedom in this

ONLY ONE KNOWN TO HAVE
BEEN WOUNDED IN CLASH
AT LAFAYETTE.
BY STRIKING MINERS
BALL OF WORKERS BROKEN UP
BY UNION MEN; DEPUTIES
PATROL THE TOWN..
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Lafayette, Colo.-More than one
thousand shots were exchanged and
one man was wounded in a battle be-
tween union and non-union miners
here. as a result of which the town is
now in charge of Sheriff NJ. P. Capp
of Boulder, whose deputies are patrol
ling the streets to prevent a further
outbreak.
Two versions are given of the cause
of the riot: Union sympathizers de-
clare that Bulgarians in the stockade
maintained by the Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company for the non-union min
ers in its employ opened fire upon two
union miners returning to their homes
from work in the mines of the Ameri-
can Fuel Company, which operates
with union labor.
The non-union men declare that the
miners inside the stockade were dane
ing, when union miners attempted to
break up the festivities by throwing
rocks through the windows of the
building. The Bulgarians rushed out
side, secured arms and began fight
ing.
Sheriff Capp has interviewed both
sides to the controversy, but as yet
has made no arrests. He took charge
of the town and ordered all lights out
and everyone to bed. Two automobile
loads of armed deputies which the
sheriff brought with him are patrolling
the town and refuse to permit anyone
on the streets.
The rioting is the outgrowth of bad
feeling which has been near the burst
ing point for months. Following the
acceptance by the American Fuel Com
pany of the union mems proposals in
March of this year, which broke the
strike which had continued in this dis
trict for the past two years, bad blood
has existed between the union and
non-union miners, which has several
times threatened bloodshed

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Don't ALLEVIATE your friends because
you differ with tbpmp in politics.
There Is particular danger Of this
now. when political parties are being
rent asunder and realignment IL uh-
der way. What makes a man worthy
to be your friend is not his opinion
on the tariff or on reciprocity. or
the integrity of Taft or Roosevelt
or Wilson. but his honesty, his in.
tegrity; not his head power mainly.
but his heart power; his sterling
manhood. We have had no trouble
in finding such friends among stand
patters, among progressives. among
Democrats, among Socialists social
ed. among Catholics, among Protes-
tants and among men who affiliated
with no church. We plead with the
Democrats not to lose confidence in
his Democratic friend who cannot see
his way clear to vote for Woodrow;
and with the Republican not to lose
confidence In his old time Republic
can friend who thinks 1t his duty to
stand by my dear WILL" or the
one who feels he must support my
dear Theodore" Friendship is too
sacred a thing to be sacrificed for
a difference of political opinion.
Don't imagine that this campaign
will usher in the political millennium.
1t is after all only a skirmish in
the age-long warfare between right
and wrong, in which good men often
get on the side which they think for
a time Is right, but which in the end
proves to be wrong; themselves be-
ing the judges; and in which bad
men sometimes get on the right side
for the time being, and bring the
cause into disrepute. There will be
wrongs to right after November and
after other Novembers for hundreds
Of years, even until the end of time.
Therefore, don't waste your breath.
You know it will be wasted, If you
but stop to think. Don't lose conf
dence in your friends who do not see
1t as you do. Make up your mind,
where your duty lies,
and do it with malice toward none
and charity toward all. "-Wallace's
Farmer.

THE VOTE ON SENATOR.

There has been so much talk about
the peculiar method of nominating

may not be out of place concerning
the election.

what is known as the Oregon law.
Under It's provisions the ballot next
November will have on the Republic
can ticket, For U. s. Senator. w.
r. Stubbs," and on the Democratic
ticket, For U. s. Senator, w. H.
Thompson" Every voter can vote
as ne pleases and the one that gets
q majority of the popular vote of
the state will be elected by the leg
islature. Practically all the candi-
dates for the legislature have signed
Statement No. /" in which they
agree to carry out the choice of
the people.
The vote in November iB state
wide and not by districts. So far
as U. s. senator is concerned It does
not matter for whom you vote for
member of the legislature.
