A brothers faults behind his back
And turn his. joys to he'll!
Don't talk behind fellows back!
If he has been faithful friend.
Just show your colors true,
For in the best of us. there lies
Some trace of Judas sin
That counsels us to mean deceit.
And bids us cheat to win.
| Don't talk behind fellows back.
Just live a faithful friend.
And Love VIII bide with you always,

The man who stoops when he is down

| Denver is giving Kansas City hard
run for securing location of one of the
national regional banks provided in
the recently enacted currency law.
This is the logical point and it ought
to come here. However, If it's coming
seven national labor headquarters and
their $50. .000, 900 of deposits" from
indianapolis to Denver, the bet might
as well be called off This is the sort
of foldarol that has been printed in
the local daily papers this week. No
one took it seriously, until on Tues
day evening the Times dignified the
joke with lengthy editorial. AS a
matter of fact, the cash deposits OF
national unions having headquarters
at indianapolis are less than one-six-
| tieth the amount above stated. Most
of their resources are invested in ma
tional, state and municipal bonds,
locked up in safety deposit vaults.
Then, again, headquarters are located
there because of the great saving of
time and economy in transacting
business. indianapolis is the center of
population of the United States, and
the miners, Carpenters, Printers and
other big organizations established
headquarters there for this reason.
Denver may get the regional bank.
but there is no chance of the national
labor organizations making headquar-
ters where laws are handled so reck-
lessly by state officials as now per
tain in Colorado.

Katherine Williamson has returned
to town and is once more enrolled in
the battle for humanity's uplift. Owing
to impaired health she was forced to
take an extended vacation. during
which she visited relatives and friends
in Iowa and Minnesota. Kate was in
prime condition to defend herself and
other women of the Denver Equal
Suffrage Association when Governor
Ammons called her upon the carpet
for introducing resolutions that were
unanimously adopted condemning the
governor and General Chase for their
ungallant and Illegal conduct in de-
porting Mother Jones, so years old.
from Trinidad. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Ammons did not get very far in
his "call-down,' when he was told the
resolutions meant just what they said
and the women of Denver did not
PROPOSE to be meek while such out
RACES were being perpetrated upon a
member of their sex, whose only
crime was fighting to better condi-
tons of women and children in the
Colorado coal camps. The gov ernor
is reported to have said the adoption
of condemnatory resolutions by the
women was the hardest blow lie had
received since the coal strike began.

Mother" Jones is the most demo-
cratic labor agitator in the United
States. She dwells in bullpens and
palaces. and associates with strikers
and presidents with equal sang froid
In nearly every union miners hall
throughout the country her picture
has the place of honor. She is equal
ly at home in any section of the coun-
try, and wants always to be where the
battle for human rights is fiercest
Even the military boys who guard her
in a Colorado military prison as this
is written love and respect her, for
the fight she is ever making is against
the cause of wrong and not against in
dividuals. She is opposed to the
militia because 1t Is used to oppress

Is horrible, they say, but If hundreds
of human lives are roasted in n mine

bring the mine owners to Justices"
During the Cripple Creek labor war
Mother" Jones was deported. but she
came back TO pay her compliments in
person to Governor Peabody. She will
| continue to come back SO long as the
breath of life is in her body.
