THE COLORADO STRIKE.

TN September "3 the coal miners
Of southern Colorado went on strike.
The next few weeks were marked by
unusual acts of violence, as a result of
which Governor Ammons called out
the troops II practically declared
a large section Of the mining district
under martial law. The strike and
the incidents attending it were of the
greatest interest all over the state, as
the labor sitaution, the fuel supply,
the industries of the cities and the
peace of the entire state was-inxolred
in the strike and the disorder which
accompanied it.
X. a week ago thirteen editors. rep
resenting some twenty-five of the most
important newspapers Of the state,
met at Denver and listened 10 state
ments concerning the situation by va
rious persons interested. The COVER
nor gave his view of the subject, and
told why he had called out the troops
Three of the striking men who had
been selected by the strike leaders
for this purpose. stated their side OF
the case. The president Of the Uni.
ted Mine Workers in that district told
why the strike had been called. The
president Of n Of the companies in.
VOWED set forth the case of the oper.
ators. The meeting must have beer
an interesting one. The speakers were
unlimited in time, and no INTERRUPT.
tions were permitted. The six ad.
dresses occuied six hours. Because OF
the conditions under which they wer
delivered it is fair to presume that a.
good a case VAS made for his side b,
each OF the speakers as it was posi-.
BILE to make.
After hearing the addresses and
considering them at length the edi.
tors unanimously adopted resolution,
giving their conclusion as to the mer.
its of the. controversy. The miner,
had made seven demands. .These
were for recognition of the union: 9
ten per cent increase in ar
eight hour day; pay for certain spe.
ciai work such as timbering; check
weishmen in all mines to be elected
by the men; the right to trarde in an,
store to board in any boarding place
and to call any physician desired; thu
enforcement Of all the mining laws O,
the state.
The editors recommended that the
union be recognized to the extent con
templated by the state law, that i.
that all miners be permitted to belons
to any union as they may choose
without prejudice, but held that deal.

ment. The demand for a ten per cen,
increase is not considered warranted
as the average wages received by min.
ers, $500 per day. is held to be in fai,
proportion to the wages made by 9th.

NEWSPAPER

There has been a good deal Of wor-

and the fear that the newspaper. being
owned sometimes in whole or in part
by men who had investments in trusts

therefore always seeking an opportru-
nifty to put something over" on the
public. has been discussed and ex.
plotted and worn pretty t~hreadbare.
Occasionally solne man comes forward
still and sounds the alarm, and the
New York Times. in the following ar.
ticle. touches UP a gentleman who, be-
cause of the position which he holds.
should do much better than talk as
he appears to have done. The Times
says:
ut becomes our duty to invoke pub.
lie censure upon William Dudley
Foulke, president Of the National Mu.
nicipal league, for a peculiarly odious
cffense of which he was guilty in his
address at the meeting of tina organ
iSation in Toronto on Monday last.
Mr.. Foulke was discussing the innu-
enc OF the press upon public opinion.
After some observations upon he
loss of influence suffered by the
newspapers, a matter as to which he
is entitled to his opinion. however
little value 1t may have, Mr.. Foulke
declared that the cause Of this was the
diminished public confidence in the
sincerity and impartiaiity Of the press.
He continued:
This is not confined to the mere
party organ, o to the so.called
yellow press" In quite a differ
ant class Of newspapers there is
a feature which inspires mistrust.
The public does not know who is
really in control. A large amount
of capital 10 required for our great
metropolitan papers. and the men
h WI them are usually con-
nected with other large interests.
They are often large stockholders,
and. perhaps. directors Of rail.

ments.
plain words are best in this mat
ter. n we therefore describe
Mrf Foulke as a reckless falsiler. A
falsifier because what he said is alto
gether untrue. reckless because the
facts as to the ownership of the great
metropolitan papers and all others are
a matter of record. and he appears
to have made no effort to ASCERTAIN
the Truth.
Tho ownership Of newspapers is no
longer open to conjecture. A federal
statute demands Of them, under pain
Of exclusion from the PRIVILEGES of
the mails. that they publish twice

last year by all the newspapers. a

will in any individual case charge
that the resi- ownership was con-
cealed. and that the statements made
are p~erjuries. we have no doubt tina,
he will be accommodated with an op.
portunity to prove his statement in q
court Of law.
THE press Of the country has lons
enough submitted to the ancient cal.

protest because the authors Of these
falsehoods were for the most par
worthy of no attention. Mr.. Foulke

"My DEAR if you could see them But the slit helps"
"And do really nice them?'
They were off on talk about styles. A half-hour
later Judith away with very good story and with
the consciousness that she had given the time in
which to become a little presentable,--how she
hoped he had-but also burdened with that most dis

without idea earth except to go late in the hope
of escaping the son. she took elevator to the top floor
AS she pushed open the office door she face to face
with a large. bowzy fashily dressed who had
just emerged from Mrs. Hool,ers office, evidently in
bad temper. The two almost collided. The blowzy
woman fell back

a voice purposely elevated. @Well guess could give
you story with some class to it, all right
door flew open, and Mrs. Hooker, every inch the
mother protecting her young flew out. The woman
gave hard laugh, pushed past Judith and was gone.
Judith followed the older back into her office.
@Mrs. Hooker she said impulsively, Il know all
about It. He told me-your son--when he wasn't quite
quite himself. She can't tell me anything. I've
known it for-days!'
The mother looked coldly upon the young girl

The older sank into her chair and buried her
face in her hands Presently she put out large capa
BILE hand, and Judith nestled small pink in it.
Thus they sat for moments. The mothers eyes
red with unshed tears; the tears welled up to
Judith's lids.

The tears rolled over Judith's lids.
@He's all I've got!' the mother re-
peated to no one at all, still staring
helplessly into space.
The door opened, and gnarled,
wrinkled, warty little man with twisted
body and sunken chest peered in.
@I'n go now,' Judith said. She
slipped quickly past the very ugly
owner of Latoona's largest and most
beautiful department store.

stunt, playing up young Hooker as

OUTSIDE she stood still with her
hands tightly clenched together.
Here was news for her editor, big
news! Young Hooker, under liquor,
had become entangled with that aw-
full family of gamblers! Years ago
there had been trouble with her
brother Sam in that same quarter.
Queer, but Sam was such an old sober

so fussy about her! If he dreamed
where she was at this very minute
then her thoughts flew back to her
editor and her big news. This ac-
counted for Old Man Hooker's bitter
fight against @The Mist 1t wasn't
merely matter of property and rents:
it went deeper, it was fight for his
boy. She must hurry straight to the
office and tell Mr.. Jones at once. 1t
would affect things.
AS she started toward the door, it
opened to admit large, plain woman
of middle age, whose face wore the
look of an agonized mother hurrying
to a child on the brink of danger.
Judith knew that look. 1t swept full
into her memory from days of long
ago. She had seen it on her own
mothers face as she paced the floor
hour after hour waiting for Sam to
come home. She was seized by an
overwhelming desire to shield this
mother from the sight she would find
within. She went impulsively to
meet her.

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome by Simple Remedy.

Hurried and careless habits of eating
irregular meals and foods that do not
harmonize, tend to weaken the digestive
organs and result in different forms OF
stomach trouble,
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition, eat
simple foods only, slowly, regularly, and
take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic.
Mrs. II. J. Smith, Townsville, Ga,
says: II suffered from stomach trou-

stomach trouble soon disappeared, and
now | eat heartily and have perfect
digestion, and / wish every tired, weak
woman could have Vinol, for / never

The recovery of Mrs. Smith was due
to the combined action of the medicinal
elements of the Gods livers-aided by
the blood-making and strengthening
of tonic iron, which are con-
tanned in Vinol. We will return the
