THE PROGRESSIVE ASSEMBLY

The Proeressives in their state assembly
here yesterday harped again upon their
slogan, Law and Order and Justice"
1t has been pointed out on various oc.
casions in the last few months that Jus
tice" is a part and parcel Of law and order.
that these are not things apart, that the
law is founded upon Justice, and as one
man has expressed it, "the law is the
handmaid of justice.
And yet these Progressive politicians,
the dissatisfied miners and labor people
all over Colorado. are striving to convey
the impression that the law is one thing
and that justice is another.
When the day comes in this state or this
country that the law does not stand for
justice and truth and right, then this ma
ton will be on the road to decay and dis.
ruption. 1t is mighty bad business for
any political party, for the sake of getting
votes, to convey to the minds of unthink.

upon justice and that they must demand
justice as well as law and order One
mans idea of justice may be very different
from another mans. A coal miner idea
of justice and a coal operators idea Of
justice nay be two different things. The
tendency is to think Of Justice" as the
thing which we demand and not what the
other man demands.
1t is in this conflict Of opinion and belief
that we have recourse to the law, which
is based upon justice, and we find there
the principals OF justice and equity be-
tween man and man. Justice is not an
abstract principle, separate and apart from
the law, as our Progressive friends seem
to think; and when we stand for the law
we stand for justice because they are both
one and the same thing so far as human
agencies can make them
The Prosressives are simply playing
with this vital question OF law and order
in order to get votes. And to show the
trend OF their sentiments upon the subject,
they have selected as their nominee for

governor MIR. E. P. Costiean, the attor-
ney for the striking miners in the southern
coal fields. Judging from his published
utterances, Mr.. Costieaa's ideas Of justice
and law and order are to give the miners
all that they ask as a price of peace and
as an insurance that there will be no
further burning or killing or manning of
people in that district.
We do not apprehend that the people Of
Colorado want as their Governor a man
who is identified with either side of this
great controversy, either miners or opera.

what would you do about it We don't

Commission at Des Moinss Makes RuI-
ing Adverse 20 Local Fuel.
Des Moines, Dec. 21-One hundred
and fifty Of the large heating plants
and power boilers in this city-repre-
senting almost one-haK of the total
number Of heating and power systems
are denied the right to use Iowa coal
during the remainder Of the winter by
the ultimatum recently issued by the
smoke abatement commission.
Il means that the coal dealers hand-
ling Iowa coal viii. lose orders for
theusands of tons Of Iowa coal this
winter. That the comn,ission's ultima
tum denies the use OF Iowa coal was
made known by Inspector Clement to-
day.
One hundred and fifty heating and
boiler plants are violating the smoke
ordinances Of the city. Iowa coal pro-
duces dense smoke. The great major
ity Of these violators cannot obey the
smoke ordinances with Iowa COAL no
matter how scientifically they fire their
boilers, says the inspector.
The commission said 1t was impossi-
BILE to compel any Of the big buildings
to be closed during the winter while
the heating plants were remodeled to
conform with smoke regulations. It
also decided that factories, manufac-
turing plants and power plants should
not be compelled to close down to es-
tab1ish "smokeless furnaces
1t was either compel them to close
down and remodel under the ordinance
or stop using smoky coal. The comis-
sion decided the latter course.

London, Dec. 21-The great battle to
the west of Warsaw has yet to be
fought out, judging from indications
conveyed in recent dispatches from
Berlin and Petrograd.
1t appears that the contention that
General Won Hindenberg has scored
success over the Russians must be
qualified. A parallel case is found in
reports of crushing Russian victory.
which proved to be premature.
The German army has made steady
capital but the Russians. in falling
back, appeared to have taken new po-
sitions in strong entertainments, and
desite the fact that the invaders are
within two or three days march from
Warsaw, it is certain that determin-
ed effort must be made and hard fight
ing must follow before 1t can be de-
termined whether or not this latest
attempt to occupy Warsaw will be
crowned with success.

clare they are sweeping the Russians

they have cleared all the Russians out

siege Of Cracow has been raised, and
IL this advance on the part of the
Teuton allies continues, it may bring
similar relief to the Austrian garrison

Kaiser Goes to Front.

front. where he will spend Christmas.
The dispatches from Germany do not
say to which front his majesty has
gone, but it is believed he has turned
westward If this is so the emperor

The departure Of Emperor William
to the front, the Exchange Telegraph

insist however, that the emperor spend
Christmas with his troops. and he de-

Russian forces are still holding at bay
the German column which Is seeking
to cross the Bzura river at Sochaszew
and advance on Warsaw, thirty miles
away. For three days this German
army of about 100000 men has been
endeavoring to cross the river and
throw back the Russians on the right
bank.
Sochaczew continued to be the Ger
man objective in the attempt to reach
Warsaw. The Russian forces on the
right bank of the Bzura are heavily
entrenched. Their artillery is so
placed that it commands the river to
its junction with the Vistula, eighteen
miles north. Southwark the Russian
lines extend to Opoczeno, twenty five
miles east of Piotrkow. which recently
was evacuated, and forty-t1ve miles
east of Sczerzow, where the Russians
first opposed the German extreme left.
Hold Third Line on Defense.
It is pointed out that the Russians
thus far have assumed positions on
their third line of defense. The evacua
ton of Lodz was thus in logical Sc
quence to this movement, and, accord
ing to the general opinion here. had
no bearing on the attack on Warsaw.
The Russians for the presen, are at
tempting nothing more than to retard
the enemy and to defeat attempts at
fanking movements.
