THE COLORADO MASSACRE.

II such an atrocity as that re-
ported in Colorado had been charge
able to villa or Huerta in Mexico
the whole country would have been
afiame at the horror of Il. Whole
families have been wiped out as a
result OF a strike war between mine
guards and militiamen on one side
and miners on the other. or the
dead and wounded the majority are
women and children, says The New
York World.
There could be no such massacre
as this II the state of Colorado had
not surrendered its government to the
Rockefeller Fuel and Iron company.
Il has done even wkorse than that.
Having permitted the inhabitants OF
n large section OF its territory to
carry on hostilities for months, II
has openly taken sides. Instead of
using its great authority to compel
peace and establish justice, IL has
assailed the weaker of the antag-
onists with all the fury OF the saw
ages who once roamed its valleys.
Whatever the rights and wrongs
Of the quarrel between Mr.. Rookie
Teller and his employees may be. II
is the duty of the state Of Colorado
TO enforce its laws without fear or
favor. This Il has not done. II has
hidden i'm a cowardly way behind a
pretense OF martial law. Its own
armed agents have been more in
tent upon serving Rockefeller than
upon serving the state.
Mr.. Rockefeller's son recently tes-
titled that he was willing to sink
his entire investment in Colorado
rather than yield to the demand OF
his employees that they be permitted
to organize. He has not sunk and he
does not intend to sink his entire
investment, but he has debauched
an American commonwealth, and
the blood of women and children Is
on the hands of his barbarous
agents, private and public.

VETERANS OF 1s46-1s4s.

Where are the surviving veterans
of the Mexican war of 1Si6-S?" This
is the call from Chicago, where only
two men remain. In 1910 the West
ern association of Mexican war vet
Grams was disbanded. A year later
only two Chicago men, bent and
gray with years, held their last
official camp fire and reunion.
September Z, 1910, the last national
meeting of the Mexican war vet
Grams was held In Indianapolis, when
the national association -was dis
banded. There were twenty-eight
members of the association then.
Nine were Chicagoans. In a hush.
ed and fearful silence the twenty.
eight grizzled heroes listened to the
words of the secretary: 1T now
becomes my sacred duty to adjourn
the National Association OF Next
can War Veterans, to meet again
on that beautiful shore. ask you
to arise and declare the national
association adjourned forever" One
by one they departed, perhaps
never to meet again on earth. The
youngest then was seventy-nine
years old. Since then the ranks
have thinned rapidly. Any survi,
vors are asked to send their names
at once to the intelligence depart
ment Of the Auxiliary Press Service
in Chicago.
