attempting assassination. Although
tie strike leaders and their SYM
pathizers frequently declare that the
presence of state troops was unnec-
essary, yet at the same time threats
We're in circulation that as soon as
the troops were withdrawn, ven-
geance would be sought Lack of
appropriations to pay the troops, con-
stant criticism and protest on the
part of the. labor element, many of
whom wholly misunderstood the sit
uation, the fact that the state mil
itiamen had for months been kept
away from their own business posi-
tions and personal affairs, which
were seriously suffering from their
long absence, all made it seem nee
essary to reduce the military forces
in the strike district. Almost immed-
ately following the material reduc-
tion of the force the predicted trou-
BILE occurred.
"All of this has a direct bearing
upon investment in Colorado. The
natural effect of the press dispatches
which have been sent out within the
past week or two would be to give
the impression that Colorado is a
state without any strong and stable
government, incapable of maintain
ing peace and order within its bor-
ders. This is not correct. The trou-
BILE is that the thinking people OF
the state have not realized the full
import and gravity of the situation
At the time of writing special ses
sion of the legislature has been call
ed to frame adequate measures tc
put an end to such intolerable con
ditions. The least that can be hop
ed is that at last the lesson will
have been learned that neither EN-
ployers nor strikers can be permit
ted either to ignore or to violate the
laws of the state"

When We scan the records of the
mining states OF our Union, compare
their productiveness, and dig down
deep into the merits Of each, with
pride and satisfaction we point to
our own. as the peer of them all, a
gem in the diadem of our united con.
stellation. And with 1t all, Colorado
is held up to ridicule by all her sis
ter states. Why is 1t. that with all
our natural resources and countless
wealth, with our Incompatible min
eral deposits, illimitable water power
and productive agricultural lands we
should be the butt of national and
international ridicule? Is 1t because
down deep into the quagmire of filth
and degradation our politics has sunk
until 1t fairly stinks with pollution
and putrefaction? At this time OF
internal strife, when the hand OF re.
volt is threatening us with oblivion,
let us get together and put aside, for
the present. all party affiliations, and
place 1t again In the foremost ranks
of the big family of states, where
she rightly belongs.

UNITE DEMOCRACY

If the Democracy of the state wish
to carry the fall election, they must
unite to fight the common foe When
everything was running smoothly in
national affairs and the whole nation
were singing praises to Wilson and
the just laws that were being pass.
ed by congress, one of the Demo
cratic leaders in the house and one
in the senate could no longer refrain
from showing partiality to private
shipping trusts and began to split
the party and make trouble, with
the result that we lost a congress
man in New Jersey. When the Pro-
gressives of that state saw the
breach in our ranks, they at once
threw their strength to the Republi-
cans who elected their man. In this
manner are the Democrats acting :
this state and unless they unite and
stop their imaginary grievance, our
two opposition parties will unite anf
defeat us. Fellow Democrats, stop
your quarreling, unite and present a
solid front to the enemy.

THE POWER OF OUR FLAG

When our forefathers deemed it ex-
pedient to withdraw from monarchial
oppression and establish on this
western continent republican form
of government among the people, for
the people, and by the people, they
specifically declared in their pream-
BILE that all citizens, free born, were
entitled to and should have equal
rights under the law, to life, liberty
and happiness, except criminals and
traitors to their country and its
laws.
An emblem of their faith was first
devised to instill the spirit of patriot
ism into their hearts, the better en-
abl;ng them to confront and master
their deadly foe. This emblem of
freedom consisted of white and red
stripes bordering a blue field, upon
which was placed thirteen white
stars, emblematic of the thirteen re
bellious colonies. This was the first
flag ever unfurled to freedoms call
and under its mantling folds, have
the downtrodden and oppressed from
foreign lands shed their life-blood on
many we'll fought field for the pre-
servation of the rights it represents.
The foreign mother who comes to our
shores to breathe the balmy air of
| freedom under that starry bedecked
banner instills into her offspring's
youthful mind the love and devotion
for that flag that will safely watt
him over the tempestuous sea of
trouble and moor him in a peaceful
harbor, secure from tile stormy
breakers.
Under our system of free govern
ment we have pressed onward and
upward until we have reached that
elevated plane where tie most ad-
vanced nations of the earth seek to
do us homage and from this lofty
height are we heralding words of
freedom to the lowly and depressed
of all nations.
| Whenever the tocsin to arms. is
sounded, our myriad adopted sons as
semble around their nations banner,
and with majetsic step and stately
tread INSPIRED by the strains of our
national anthem) press onward to
the fray, even to the canon's mouth
of the enemy. No seas are too dan
gerous, no climate too rigorous for
the American sailor or soldier. The
burning sun of the tropics cannot
] make him effeminate nor can the et-
ernal winters of tie polar seas para
lyze his energies when his country's
banner calls him into the fray
and his trained and skilled eye can
sight the dread harbinger of death
with minute precision and carry
death and destruction into the ranks
of the foe. - ,isls
Under the guiding hand of the com.
mander in chief, our armies and nav
| les are now being assembled on the
shores of hostile nation, not with
spirit Of conquest, but with a firm
determination that the American, be
he native or adopted, shall be pro-
tected in his rights by that silken
banner that has spread enlighten-
ment and freedom wherever it has
been planted, and If necessary, to
again carry it to the heights of Chap
ultepec, let it there forever remain
for the enlightenment and civiliza-
ton of the untutored Mexican race.

STRIKE LESSONS

A recent exchange contains a state
ment of the official termination of
the great labor strike in the Michi-
gan copper mines, that has been wag-
ing for the past three years, by the
officials of the Western Federation
of Miners, declaring the strike off
and waving their demand for recog-
milton of the union. Thus has mill
lions of dollars been spent and untold
privations and suffering been endur-
ed by helpless women and children
with no beneficial results. The fol-
lowing we quote from the article at
hand:
Bearing less directly upon labor
conditions in the metal mining
camps, the situation in the coal fields
grave concern to all who are in any
way affected directly or indirectly
by the relations between capital and
labor in the United States, and this
means practically every individual in
the country. 1t is exceedingly un-
just for the man at a distance to at
tempt to judge of the situation in
Colorado, for the simple reason that
he does not and cannot know the
facts. Even in the state the average
citizen is unable to determine the
exact truth. The reports sent out
have for the most part originated
with the correspondents who receive
compensation based upon the amount
Of news matter which they furnish
and who know that the more lurid
and sensational their reports are, the
greater the amount which will be
accepted. Politics also enter into
the situation to large extent. Mis-
directed sympathy has colored the
reports in some cases. AT the pres
ent time of writing the situation in
the southern Colorado coal fields is
not one Of labor against capital, but
an armed insurrection against the au-
thority of the state. Reports sent
out convey the impression that the
massacre at Ludlow was an unpro-
voked attack by state militia and
mine guards upon defenseless COL
ony of wholly innocent strikers, their
wives and children. Even disregard
ing the possibly improved statements
that the clash was precipitated first
by an attempt on the part of armed
strikers to burn mine property, and,
second, by the murder of a non-union
man who was waylaid and shot down
while walking to his work, the fact
stands out that the strikers tent COL
ony at Ludlow proves to have been
an intrenched position In the pos
session of Illegally armed men who
evidently relied upon the presence
Of women and children to give them
immunity from a return of their rifle
fire upon the forces of the state.
1T is a significant fact that for
several months small body of state
troops maintained fair condition of
law and order throughout portion
of southern Colorado of an extent
about equal to the state of Connec-
ticut, policing the entire territory in
the face of misguided hatred of
thousands of men, large portion of
them foreigners easily misled by the
false statements of paid agitators.
For some four months this very
small force of militia accomplished
their work without the killing OF a
single man. with the exception of

old watchman, who was about the
only one left in the camp. In the
morning we made the rounds of the
old producers, and at neon we ate
our handouts while sitting by a
well-worn trail that crossed change
this change interested me greatly, as
it was so entirely different from
that in which the mines of the dis
trict were located, these being on
we'll defined fissures. l asked my
companion i this belt had ever been
prospected, his answer being in the
negative, and that it had always been
believed that no pay mineral existed
outside Of the fissures. After finish
ing my lunch and taking a pull at
my canteen l made an examination
of my surroundings, and speedily ar
rived at the conclusion that there
had been a break in the formation
there. and that strong contact vein
ran through the country for miles.
A few hundred feet up the side hill
l noticed yellowish-brown cropping
which looked more like baked clay
than anything else. Taking my pick
l soon removed the Gaping, which
was much disintegrated, and found
solid formation, which, in reality, was
ledge matter. Breaking off a piece
Of this, which proved to be rose-col-
ored quartz of fine texture, found
1t to be lousy with native gold. 1t
took but days work to prove the
width of the vein and only a few
more to. locate a group of claims.
I took the watchman in with me on
the locations and in six weeks we
had a carload of ore on the market
that netted US $3.50 to the ton. In
three months more we had a tunnel
in on the ledge for a hundred feet
or more, and would have been min
ing and shipping today but for the
fact that we had a good cash offer
for a controlling interest. This we
accepted and a company was organ
lied. The mine has been steadily
working ever since, and we have
been drawing down handsome divi-
dends every quarter. And more, my
discovery caused a revival of inter-
est in the district, and number of
mines have been opened on the gold
belt l discovered. 1t is no longer a
dead camp, but hummer, and 1t
Is crime, there, to speak disre-
spectfully Of the prospector, no mat
ter how lowly he may be.
Il want to tell you, Old Long Ears -
concluded the prospector, "the day
of the old-time prospector has not
passed by any means. He may be a
negligible quantity just at the pres
ent time, but believe me, when a
big mineral discovery is proclaimed
ten or a hundred years from now.
you can bank on 1t that the find
was made by an old prospector with
patches on the seat of his pants and
with his toes sticking out OF his
shoes; and there you are, and then
some"
