HAIR-TRIGGER MEN

~ ONE light is thrown on the So
called "massacres" of the Col
~ orado mining camps by happen
ings in Butte, Mont, yesterday.
During a battle there waged between
warning factions of the miners union
three men were shot, one killed and
attempts made to blow up hall and
to dynamite a mine. officers had to
interfere to keep the two antagonistic
factions apart, and Charles F. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation
of Miners, fled town to escape the
anger of seeding union miners.
When members Of the same union
try to murder each other it is not
difficult to understand how the Col
orado strikers-who resemble closely
in general character those of Montana
provoked the National Guardsmen
and deputy sheriffs sent in to preserve
order, for most of these militiamen
and officers were recruited from much
the same type of hair trigger men as
the miners themselves.

THE RIGHT OF PROTEST

HE press and the public have
clamored against President Will
d sons objection to the petition
ing of Congress and himself for
cessation of business affecting legis-
lation. And the President again ex-
plains. What he resents, he would
have it appear, is the cumulative pro-
test by the public in the shape of form
letters But why? Does he question
the integrity and honesty of purpose
of the men who sent them? What
other inference can be drawn :?
Whether the petition be drafted by
the signer or by another is of little
consequence so long as the petitioner
is willing to stand sponsor therefor.
But President Wilson objects. Amer
lean citizens must not annoy him with
wholesale protests against his plans
they must be silent, and, in the in
terim, the Administration and its stall
warts in Congress will jam through
Administration legislation, regardless
of its effect upon business.
The public, however. will not be
throttled for long. Next November it
will be dictator once again, and the
master will indicate to it's minions
that 1t will not longer tolerate abuse
of the scepter of power. Nowhere
can this be more effectually car
ried out than in Pennsylvania. A.

be the next important stunt
- of the Chamber of Com
merce. This good old town
has been booming along so quietly
during the last few months that many
of our own people fail to realize what
progress is being made in many direc-
tions. Even the public improvements
which are now under way are well
worth an automobile tour of the city,
but these are not the only points of
interest Much has been done in the
way Of new building and new indus
tries and enlargement of old plants.
And these things all indicate the con-
stant development of the city. Those
who do not get around as they should
will be astonished when they have
pointed out to them in some definite
way just what has been achieved here
during the last few years.

of the worst stretches along that entire
highway is through the town of Pen
brook. where there is now being dis
cussed movement to have the street
paved with brick from one end to the
other. No other town contiguous to
Harrisburg is so much in need of high
way improvement, and it is expected
that the borough on the eastern edge
will go right ahead with the work.

mismanaged the Democratic party

Democratic voters. And the man

The voters of Pennsylvania are

get them to the polls next November.
