TAKE A LESSON FROM KANSAS.

Some years ago our neighbor state
of Kansas was in disrepute through
out the union. With more or less
justice it was egaded as the hotbed
of cazy politics and Turbulence. Sud-
denly, it appeaed to outsides, the peo-
pie of the state woke up to their
mistake and set about retrieving their
reputation. In single year the en-
tire temper of the state seemed to
change, and its public reputation was
changed.
There is no reason, however, to sup
pose that there was change in the
character of the people of Kansas.
What actually happened was that the
sensible, law-abiding, patriotic people
who constituted the large majority
of its population suddenly woke up
to the fact that they were being mis-
represented by comparatively small
number of visionaries, selfish Office
seekers and sensational trouble MAX
ers. And that was the end Of trou-
BILE in Kansas.
Here in Colorado we are going
through much the same sort of ex-
perience. Anyone who now supposes
that the rioters of the coal districts
or the promoters and defenders Of
anarchy, are the representatives Of
the people Of Colorado, is woefully
ignorant of local conditions. The vast
majority Of Colorado's people are law
abiding, intelligent and patriotic, and
it may be taken as an absolute GER
tainty that they will not continue
to permit themselves to bs misrsp.

resented and their interests destroy
ed by the sort of persons who have
assumed to speak for Colorado in the
past.
What happened in Kansas is hap
pening in Colorado. Public sentiment
is being aroused, and the people of
Colorado may be trusted to take such
stand in favor of law, order and
common sense as will effectually re-
buke the calumnies that have been
circulated about this state, and as will
effectively suppress those who have
been the leaders in the disorders that
have been so injurious.
Kansas turned from the follies of
political agitators and demagogues
to meet one of the greatest periods
of prosperity ever recorded for any
American state. May the people of
Colorado be equally fortunate.-Boul-
der Camera.

A DIALOGUE AT THE DOOR.

New York Sun.
Citizen out-of work, hat in hand
accosted the professor as he came
out of Candid house: ~ have wife
and four small children-'
"You only think you have" said
the professor; your state is merely
psychological"
81 haven't had any work for six
months, since the factory"
"Fie," cried the professor, taking
off his eyeglasses and waving them
in a wide gesture of depreciation;
don't you frow that unemployment
is mere psychological ?"
"My wife mad children are actually
hungry
Nonsense, my dear sir; hunger is
merely psychological"
"My brother has just been fired
by the X. Y & 2. railroad; the rafi$-
road people said they had to reduce
expenses"
How ridiculous; expenses of rail-
roads are merely physiological So
is your brothers discharge"
Professor, will you lend me dol
lar? When better times"
"This is most unbecoming Ian
guage. What times could be better
than these? Times are merely psy-
Geological. So is your assumed need
of dollar. Learn to know the need
of mankind and to find that need in
yourself. Everything but Colonel
House and my Mexican policy is
merely psychological. Money to a
victim of the merely psychological
state called out of a job? Good
bye. l wish you more psychology and

TARIFF LETS IN SMALL GOODS.

Chicago, May 16.-The effects of
the new tariff law in small detail are
coming to attract notice among those
who do not give much attention to
economic questions.
Where did you get that soap y
asked a customer of drug store man
the other day, as he saw lot of cakes
spread out on the counter.
THAT soap comes from England"
was the reply. 1--WE have never had
any from that part of the world be-
fore except the high-priced articles"
In another store there was a lot
of hosiery and underwear of styles
previously unknown in this locality.
THAT comes, some of It from Eng
land and some from Germany" said
the merchant.
Then you can go to mills or stores
where articles of iron, steel and brass
are kept and have similar experi-
ence. These things are creeping in
all around

FEDERAL TROOPS IN COLORADO.

From New York Sun.
By this time there should be by
right no Colorado strike question.
The federal troops have been in con-
troll of the physical situation for al
most a month and in that time there
has been no violence Of any sort. The
trouble makers realized from the be-
ginning that there was no use in fool
ing with men who were in earnest
in the intention to enforce law and
order.
Peace being restored, the immediate
consequence should have been the re-
sumption of industry. The mines
ought to have been thrown open to
any and all workers, including strik-
ers, who chose to return and who
were acceptable to the mine opera
tors. The majority of the strikers,
no doubt, could have resumed their
jobs if they desired. Obviously the
proper course for those who didn't
wish to resume work or who couldn't
get it was to dispense and find EN-
ployment elsewhere.
Instead of this termination of the
trouble we find the situation still full
of menace. The federal power has
been used not to restore normal con-
ditions by opening the mines but to
prolong the state of unrest by vir-
tually keeping them closed. The pro-
hibition against the employment of
any men not on the mine payrolls
prior to the shutdown amounts to the
adoption of the cause of the strikers
by the federal government. 1t is al
together outside and beyond the legi
innate function of preserving peace,
1t is an invasion both of state rights
and private rights. 1t is a factional
act in violation of constitutional re-
strictions, and it is calculated to re-
duce the prestige of the federal ad-
ministration among law respecting
citizens
Withal, as a means of averting mob
violence, it seems foolish and futile
restriction so long as the mines are
allowed to open at all. On Monday
the Forbes mine opened with ninety
one men who were employed before
the strike. The animosity of the
strikers against these is likely to be
no ,rro,+ nc &c ctr;Lo braoEar, ,yara
employed, perhaps greater. They can
continupe at work only under guard.
In word, any opening of the mines
is provocation to disorder under
present conditions, and opening them
with feeble gangs insufficient, as the
strikers very well know, for effective
or profitable work, is an encourage
ment to the latter to keep up their
organization in hopes of future op-
portunities for mischief.
If the miners grievances call for
remedy, this is matter for the Colo
RADIO legislature to deal with, and it
should be taken up not in mood of
hysteria but at time of tranquility.
There is only one sound way of end
ing the present crisis. The owners
of the mines should be placed in a
position to operate them with secur-
ity according to their own ideas under
existing laws. The forces of riot, de-
struction and defiance of law would
soon disperse in presence of realized
defeat. Later on the public opinion
of the state will compel reforms if
they are really needed.
Meantime the federal forces should
be allowed to exercise no function
save their proper one of preserving
peace.
