Marked Progress Made In All Forms

That the marked progress made In

brought about through the efforts of
Baron De Coubertin, the Frenchman
who in 1891 organized the internation-
al Olympic committee, promises to

This is evidenced by the wonderful
strides OF the continental nations.
most of which are, in various sports,
,outstripping England, whose citizens
we're, up to generator or so ago, the
leaders in most of the games taken up
by white men
1t was England and her athletic al
lies, Ireland and Scotland, which pro-
duced the type of men whose feats Of
strength, agility and speed were the
prototypes of those champions of the
old games in Greece, but it remained
for the United States to dim the
"stars" of England, with the result that
since 1895, when England's champions
were totally eclipsed in the historical
athletic events at Manhattan field,
John Bulls standing In the world Of
competitive sport has been none too
firm.
From that time when Young Amer
lea took up track and field games, the
cry of Westward the march of ath-
letic empire takes it way" has been
the slogan to the end that the United
States stands pre-eminent in many
fields of sport. The competitive fever
spread across the whole of Yankee
land and now nearly all the sections of
the country contribute champions at
one sport or another all anxious and
willing, when the time arises, to take
up the cudgels of competition in be-
aiding in the sustaining of his posi-
ton at the top of the list among the
nations of the world.
The position of the worlds leader in
sport achieved By the United States
and held through series of competi-
tions of track and field battles in
which a gradually increasing number
of armies take part with the holding
of the Olympic series, meet with keen
er opposition with the ever recurring
worlds series and the desire for bet
terment by the nations of Europe is
being attested to from time to time
by their presumption of teachers for
their athletes in an endeavor to safe
guard their standing in the world of
sport, and aid in putting stop to the
winning habit of the sons of America.

A TEACHERS STRIKE IN ENG
LAND.

In the last few years Great Britain
has seen and endured many grave
strikes, but teachers strike in q
whole country is an unpleasant nov.
city even there and now. Hereford
shire has been the scene of this con
flict. The teachers closed seventy
schools in one day by walking out
and easily enlisted the support of
their pupils, who were doubtless glad
to suspend their studies and indulge
in mild disorders; professions, noise,
mischief, excitement were not an un-
welcome "relief"
The teachers demanded $500 per
annum, or an increase of $50. That
so slight an issue could not have been
settled by conference and discussion
seems strange at this distance. But
the educational authorities adopted a
"No surrender" policy, while the ma
tional teachers union encouraged the
strikers by promises of funds and
moral support.
What has particularly disturbed the
average citizen of the country is that
the teachers promptly adopted the
most modern methods of bitter indus
trial warfare. They placed pickets
on duty; they saw to it that head
masters did not take their posts; they
resorted to coercion. What's society
coming to? respectable men and wo-
men are asking each other. Perhaps
the real answer is that society is too
slowly coming to common sense ways
of avoiding strife or ending it. Strikes
of public servants are particularly OBJ
jectionable, but in France and else
where ways of preventing them have
been found. Legislation and proper
machinery are necessary, but, above
all, common sense and justice on both
|sides.-Record-H Herald.

MINING CONVENTION
OPENS IN DENVER

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 19.-The
whole question of radium mining, in
cluding the proposal to withdraw
from public entry all land containing
carnotite or other radium producing
ore will be the principal topic of dis
cussion during the first state mining
convention which began here today.
The meeting was called by State Min
ing Commissioner Thomas R. Hene-
han and more than 100 mining men
responded.
In spite of the assurances from
members of the house mines commit
tee now investigating the coal strike
at Trinidad, that radium producing
lands of Colorado will not be "bot-
tied" up, there is feeling among the
mining men that they should go on
record regarding the subject. 1t is
expected that the bill recently intro
duced in the lower house of congress
by the mines committee will be taken
| up in detail and discussed. This pro-
vides for throwing open the radium
land to prospectors but forcing these
men to sell whatever radium they
produce to the government at prices
fixed at regular intervals.
Governor Ammons delivered a well
come address and Commissioner Hen
chan spoke on mining conditions gen.
orally, but most of the session was
devoted to informal discussion. The
radium situation was not the only
matter taken up, however. The pro-
gram called for discussion of many
vital mining subjects such as tax
alton of mines, withdrawal of public
lands, low grade ore problems and
government and state aid to miners
on the same basis as to farmers. The
feeling among mining men that they
have not received a just return for
the amount of taxation paid by the
mining industry and they want more
federal and state aid.
One of the most important actions
of the convention, it is expected will
be the appointment of Legislative
committee to which will be referred
all matters affecting mining and min
ers. This committee will probably be
instructed to draft a bill which will
be referred to the people of the state
at the next general election for the
purposes of meeting the grievances
of the miners.

THE DENVER WATER FIGHT.

After u visit to Denver some W, eas
ago and keeping our ear to the ground
we became thoroughly convinced
that the Denver Union Water com
pany was going to lose it fight and
the vote of Tuesday justifies the
prophesy. The water company is now
down and out. 1t has been traffic
ing with the people long enough. As
stated in these columns a week or so
ago, the water company, under Evans,
for years dictated the policy of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. Evans, nominally Republican,
played the game above the limit.
Owing to his manipulation the Re-
publicans lost control of Republi-
can city and the state. For some time
Evans, by the machine, was able to
keep Speer in office and at the same
time name Republicans favorable to
his plans. While the Herald believes
in protecting vested interests, we are
against such corporations controlling
politics and Tuesday the company
paid the penalty. The voters of Den
yer have thrown business interests to
the dogs-further discrediting the
state, but they were of one mind
forever sealing water company DOM
