PERIL OF ENGLISH EXAMPLE.
The Logic of Employing Unlawful
Means.

If the party Of violence in England
succeeds in persuading the English
people to grant what its members are
asking, an example is set which will
be widely followed. Any body of so
cial agitators have only to break the
law times enough to secure what they
demand. Whoever believes that any
great change is greatly needed or that
political conditions work injustice
would have only to begin campaign
of destruction of the property of limo
cent holders, in order to compel ma
jorlty to yield to the violence of a
minority.
Any industrial dispute might take
this FORM any social reform could be-
come not an attempt to persuade the
community by debate and discussion
but crusade of crime to coerce it by
violence and intimidation. The path
would be laid straight open to anar-
chists. whenever they were numerous
enough, to destroy all law or order of
the people, on the ground advanced
by suffragets, that those who are urg-
ing a political change have rights as
criminals which they would not have
II they were criminals alone.
Such a position is subversiye Of all
law and all order and of everything
which makes property secure, organ
lied, effective and benehcient. The
English government at the start made
the serious blunder of accepting the
position of the suffragets and treat
ing illegal acts by them as different
from Illegal acts by any one else.
This weakness has permitted act af-
ter act to follow, until a reckless VIC
lation of the penal statutes which
could have been quelled at the begin
ming by few brief but severe senten-
ces, such as would have been imposed
on any tramp or vagrant who did the
same thing, will instead have to be
quelled by indictments for conspiracy
to do unlawful acts, with the penalty
in England, of seven years of penal
servitude.
/ The law is supreme in every self
governing country. II is the act Of
the majority. 1t can be changed only
| by the majority through lawful means
The use of crime, not only agains
the government, but against the PEG
pie and the foundation principles o

Despair Not.

We were not made to pass in sorrow
Our brief existence here away,
For grief's cloud that on the morrow
Gives promise Of brighter day.
Bright flowers decay. gay foliage fades
Beneath November's chilly reign:
But, robed In gayer tints, the spring
Beholds the blushing flowers again
So when some grief has bllghted hopes
OF happiness too dearly cherished
Too oft we deem that every Joy
Has with departed idols persisted.
However deep the wound we feel.
However great our cause OF sadness.
Time rolls the clouds OF grief away
And brings again our wonted gladness

EIGHTH AMENDMENT

The eighth proposition which will
be submitted for adoption or re-
lection by the people on election day
is known as the home rule to cities
and towns amendment. 1t has for
its object the changing of the consti-
tuition so that each city and town in
the state may have absolute home
rule providing that they have popu-
lation of two thousand as taken by
the last proceeding census under the
authority of the United States.
The following sentence describes
the amendment practically in its en-
tirity:
They (meaning the towns and
cities) shall always have power to
make, amend, add to, or replace the
charter of said city or town which
shall be an organic law and extend
to all its local and municipal matters.
Such charter and the ordinances made
pursuant thereto in such matters shall
supercede within the territorial lin
it's and other jurisdiction of said city
or town any law of the state in con-
flict Herewith"
The proposed amendment gives the
cities and towns the right to create
all municipal offices, agencies, and
employments, and to define same, and
to create police and municipal courts
and to define the powers of those
courts irrespective of state laws. To
issue, refund and liquidate municipal
obligations of all kinds, including
bonds and other obligations of parks
water and improvement districts. II
gives officials the right to levy anG
collect taxes for all municipal pur.
poses. One provision in the proposed
law reads:
'It is the intention of this article
to grant and confirm to the people
of all municipalities coming within it,
provisions the full right of self gov
ernment in both local and municipa
matters and the enumeration herein
of certain powers shall not be con
strued to deny to such cities and town
and to the people thereof any righ
or power essential or proper to tn
full exercis of such right"
The last section of the bill seek
to make legal any illegalities whicl
may exist in the charters of the cit.
of Denver, Colorado Springs, Gran'
Junction and Pueblo.

40 tho title smelter Regulation Bill

see the title Smelter Regulation Bill
he would naturally think it was the
eight hour day for the smelter, but
in that he would be mistaken, because
the smelter regulation bill is the bill
regulating the price to be charged by
smelters for the treatment of ore.
Again, if the xoter should see "The
State Tax Commission heading en-
the ballot he might thing it was the
public service commission or the pub
lie utility court, but it would be
neither. For some reason or other
these headings were left off the ad-
vertisements of over one-half the bills.
Secretary of State Pearce maintains
that the fault lies with the people who
filed the bills for submission in his
office, while the friends of the bills
filed without being properly designat-
ed say that Pearce, knowing he will
have to designate them some way,
should have decided upon the desig-
nation of each bill and placed them in
the advertisements of each bill.
Thus on election day when the
voters enter the booths and attempt
to vote yes and no on the thirty
two propositions they will not have
the slightest idea what one half OF
the headings mean.

THE FOURTEENTH PRO-
PROSED AMENDMENT

The fourteenth proposition to be
voted upon by the Colorado electorate
is the recall of judicial opinions. Per-
haps this is the most important prop
osition submitted to the people. 1t
provides that decision of the su-
preme court shall be filed in the Of
flee of the clerk of the court within
ter days after they are rendered. If
decision concerns a state law such
decision shall not take effect until
sixty days after it has been filed
Those who are opposed to the deci-
sion can within sixty days initiate a
referendum petition and if they secure
five per cent of the qualified electors
to sign the petition it shall not be-
come law until after it has been
supported by the people. The petit
ton is filed with the secretary of state
who causes the text of the law to
be published as constitutional amend
ments are published, and the same is
submitted to the people at the first
general election held not less than
ninety days after such petition shall
have been filed with the secretary of
state. If majority of the people ap-
prove the law, then the decision Of the
supreme court has been reversed and
the law takes effect thirty days after
the declaration of the vote thereon.
If decision concerns a charter or
amendment to city or county it may
be referred to the voters of that city
and county by five per cent petition
and the legislative body of the city
and county performs the duties per-
formed by the secretary of state
wherein state law is concerned. The

ernor at the last preceding regular
election and the whole number Of

NO DESIGNATION ON BILLS

Because of someone's blunder the
people of Colorado are going to have
difficult time in determining who's
who and what's what on initiated and
referred bills and constitutional
amendments on election day. Over
half of the proposed bills which are
being advertised have no designation
marks at the bottom of the adver-
tisement to tell which bill it is. 1t will
be impossible to print the complete
text of all bills on the ballot and the
usual is to print designation mark
at the bottom of each bill SO that
the voter may familarize himself with
the mark and he can then look for it
when he is in the booth and when
he finds it can vote as he chooses
upon it. However, in the rush to get
these bills out there is no designation
mark on them. For instance, the
statewide prohibition bill is not desi-
gnated and there is nothing printed
in it upon which the voter can rely as
u hioeihkuiShiilS HidTh oh cioSeioh uay
Of course this bill will be at the head
of the list. Then comes the eight
hour work day bill for women, the
public service commission bill, the
state fair bill, the immigration bureau
levy bill, the home rule for towns
and cities measure, the public utility
court, the eight-hour work day bill
for men in mines and smelters, the
brand department bill, the bill re-
quiring state officials TO file daily
financial statement with the state
treasurer, the normal school bill, the
teachers certificate bill, and the Carp
enter reservoir bill. Not one of them
has single distinguishing mark, and
when the voter gets in the booth he
will not be familiar with the title
under which they are placed on the
ballot and he will not know one from
the other.
For instance, supposing he should

can be lea-.ied got the worst Of the
fight. 1t is true that the contest was
hardly fight but then several per-
sons were killed on each side and the
Turks lost some ground and had their
pride trampled in the dust.
After both Italy and Turkey were
scared as to the outcome of their
contest the Balkan states, including
Greece, remembered that they had an
old time grudge against the Turks
and decided that it would be good
time to go to arms, since Turkey was
already tired of war.
At the present time the little ma
tions of Montenegro, Bulgaria, Ser
via and Greece are attacking Turkey
from all sides. The reports have it
that the Turks prepared mines and
trapped whole regiment of the in
vading army. The Turks at the pres
ent time seem to be holding their
own fairly well although in some in
stances they have been compelled to
retreat before the allied armies.
The chances are that somebody will
get hurt over there soon and then
one side or the other will call on
the nations of the world to interfere
and stop the fight. Both sides will
be glad to have the nations interfere
so that no honor will be lost.

ONE KILLED, TWO INJURED
IN WRECK NEAR PUEBLO

PUEBLO, Oct. 22.-Charles Buck of
Nyburg was killed, Joseph Bowen, a
business man of the same place, and
Ephram Nasbit, wealthy resident of
Pueblo, were badly hurt in an auto
mobile accident at Six Mile creek, Ia
miles east of Pueblo this morning.
Nesbit is reported in critical con-
dition at local hospital. Bowen's
arm was broken and he is suffering
other injuries.
Nesbit left Pueblo early this morn
ing in his new seven-passenger tour
ing car, and at Nyburg stopped to
pick up Buck and Bowen, offering TO
take them for ride down the Santa
Fe trail. Just before Six Mile creek
was reached Nesbit was forced to turn
cut when an automobile coming to-
ward Pueblo was met. The machine
started skidding, and as they passed
over the bridge the tonneau swung
around against one of the pillars. The
machine jumped over the railing and
plunged into the rock-covered creek
bed, twenty feet below. Bowen was
thrown clear of the car and landed on
soft dirt, while Nesbit and Buck were
pinned beneath the car.

SHALL WE TRY 1T AGAIN?

While it is true that business has
not been as brisk for year or two
as it was few years ago when it
States, it is true that those who have
forgotten the period of depression ir
the Cleveland administration or we're
too young to remember about it arc
inclined to compare the present times
with the most prosperous times in
American history rather than with the
times when thousands of men were
idle in practically every state in the
Union.
Today the country is prosperous ard
with the exception of the boom days
a few years ago is one of the best
business periods in the history of this
country.
From reports turned in from every
state in the country it appears that
never has there been a time since
the foundation of this republic that
there were so few depending upon
charity, so few in the poor houses,
so few not enjoying the comforts OF
life.
During the eighties there vas lit.
tie reaction that followed the 7oo,n
days in the seventies waen the rush
| foi the central western plains coun-
try took place. The people then, as
now, compared the times with the
boom times and decided that it was
the fault of the government and de-
manded revision of the tariff They
elected Cleveland and Democratic
congress. The administration began
at once to tamper with the tariff and
passed the notorious low tariff Viii.
son bill which put business on the
shelf and the workingmen of the coun
try out of work.
For several years there was suf
fering intense. No section of the
country was spared. 1t was not un
common to see men pulling carts ant
buggies along the highway becaus,
the only horses they owned had prac
| liSdily sIdINeu DeCduSe Iney were uH
able to purchase sufficient feed FOR tn,
animals. We ourselves saw maj
pulling a buggy in which was his wifi,
and two small children. He said tina
his horse had died and that he hst
no means with which to buy anothe,
These conditions existed and thos,
who recall those days know what i
means to realize hard times.
Those people who lived along tn
route travelled by Coxey's army wei
remember that this army of unem
ployed men took possession of freigh
trains and other means of conveyanc
in their march to Washington wher
they demanded of President Clevelan
and congress that the government d
something to start business and Civ
the unemployed work. Is it possibI
that some have forgotten about this
or that the young voters have not in
formed themselves along these lines
