formed with the object of benefiting
the lives OF the men and women who
earn their daily bread by their daily
toll. There Is not a right-henrted
man or woman who does not take a
kindly interest in the welfare Of the
workers. and who will not rejoice
with them in their demonstrations.
and wish for them sunny skies and
favoring breezes and faith in the
good purposes of their neighbors who.
though not marching with them in
their parades. yet wish them abun-
dant reward for their toll. just treat
ment by those whom they serve. ample
protection from the law and happy
lives in comfortable homes.
Days for Rest or Rejoicing.
There is no national holiday in the
United States by act of congress; but
there are many days-New Years day.
Christmas day. Thanksgiving day. the
Fourth of July. Election day. Labor
day, Sunday and yet other days that
are generally observed. and for which
it has been thought there was no me-
cessity for statutory permission. Be-
sides these days, which are observed
everywhere, there are state and sec
tional days on which men refrain
from labor that they may know each
other better and refresh their souls by
keeping the fires of patriotism or
memory burning, and no day that Is SO
spent is ever wasted. Men have been
given hands wherewith to work; but
they have also been given hearts to

eternal promise that there is a land
of pure delight" Just across the bor-
der. where the wicked will cease from
troubling and the weary shall be at
rest. There the servant will be free
from his master, and they who have
walked in darkness will walk in the
light, and the dweller in cabin or
hovel will wear soft clothing in the
house Of the King.
Commands Given to All.
Thou shalt not covet," thou shalt
not steal" thou shalt not bear false
Witness" thou shalt not kill" These
are the commands given to all men.
They who oppress the poor. who exact
toll without paying the laborer the
worth of his hire. who make gain by
false weights, who esteem themselves
better than their neighbors will be
brought into judgment before court
from which there is no appeal. There
is no virtue in poverty; neither is
there justification in great riches. The
law is made for the rich as we'll as the
poor. This is worth thinking about to-
day, and also the warning that they

submarine. which was dream in
1865, Is owned by the navy of the
smallest power. 1t is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much in real struggle, so
the larger navies of the great powers
have fleets of submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession of all arm
les in Europe today, yet they, too. are
only expected to be of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able. and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used TO limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected TO be finally determined by
the present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade. how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed. is a custom every day. to send
and receive messages from distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then.
is a new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tions on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence in
1904, but it was a very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time of the eSpanish-American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has 76 built, and is building 20

OPEN 258,ooo CAREY ACT ACRES
Federal Government Decides Lands
Held in Projects Available for
Settlers on Sept. 23.

Denver.-Two hundred and fifty
eight thousand acres of federal land
in Colorado, which has been held un-
der Carey act projects, have Eeen re-
opened to entry by the department Of
the interior. The action of the de-
partment, taken upon recommends
tion Of the state land board of Colo
RADIO. makes many rich farming tracts
available for development by settlers.
1t is expected that there will be a
considerable rush of prospective set
tiers to obtain the land. One depart
ment order reopens to entry 225.0OO
acres In Dolores, Montezuma and Mon
trcse counties, which have been held
by the Dolores Irrigation Company for
development under the federal Carey
act.
The State Land Board in its invest
state last winter concluded that the
Dolores company could not carry out
its plans. and, therefore, recommend
ed to the Interior Department that
the public entry be re established.
1t Is expected that the department
will take similar measures regarding
land held under other projects con-
cerning which like recommendations
were made. The tract held by the Do
lores company includes many sections
valuable for farming.
The entries will be re-opened at .
a. m. on Sept. 81, and settlers can
make their applications under the
federal land laws at that time at the
federal land offices In Durango and
Montrose. Squatters will have no
rights above others.
Another order reopening $500 acres
in Moffat county. near Craig, has been
issued. 1t was made on partial re-
linquishment of land by the Great
pany.

COURT MARTIAL AcoUiTs.
Officers and Guardsmen Exonerated
Of FeIonious Charges.

Denver.-The twenty-one officers
and enlisted men of the National
guard who were placed on trial In
May to answer sixty-three counts Of
murder, manslaughter. arson, assault
and larceny have been exonerated.
The formal findings were approved by
Gov. Ammons. Lieut. X. f. Linderfelt
was completely vindicated. He was
charged with assaulting Louis Tykas
with the butt of a rifle. The findings
say, by reason of justification as
shown in the evidence no criminality
is attached thereto" The soldiers de-
clare they are entitled to pay and ex-
penses from the day the court martial
started until acquitted. They claim
they have been under arrest all OF
that time. If their contention is up
held by the courts the court martial
will cost the state about $4,000.

tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency.
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines. while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine. from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor In
deciding naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time II has done nothing to prove its
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect OF the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical ef.
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But il has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and Is compelled to re-
sort to the use OF the periscope, which
emerges unostentatiously above the
water, in order to see its own course.
II is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part OF
their boats
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon it being seen. 1t was
believed that 1t would go upon its way,
dealing death without observation, al.
though its periscope does make
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But it has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as II it waE
cunning on the surface. The dirlgible
balloon and the aerorlane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like
fish.

Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance Of
