vert.sement at this cine, Mr.. Coward
replied that there was, and related
the following incident as showing the
necessity for Protecting the groa; shoe
industry of Amricaen against poorly
paid and cheaply made foreign COM
petitions:
| a few months ago I noticed a
Japan Sc n my store purchas ng some
% 20 80 pairs of shoes, and select
ing difrereut styles with little regard
to So. ! asked why he did so, and
he smiling Y told me that he manufac
tured shoes in japan and would take
my shoes home TO copy them. BY
further questioning ! found thaa he
was engaging the best shoemakers
he could find here to return with him
to Japan to teach his people the
trade. When ! asked about wages In
Japan he said Japanese men re-
ceivsd from 40 cents to 80 cents a
day, while women were paid from
20 cents to 40 cents a day, and that
he used American machinery.
Personally do not. fear competition
because | control my own lass and
styles. But what of the future of the
American shoe industry, when the
japanese have added our knowledge o
the craft to their own skill and imi-
tativeness?
Considering that Japanese shoe OPP
orators are paid only one-fomth TO
one-tenth of American wages, how
long will II be before the laps will
invade this country with hteir cheap
ly made footwear? 1t was these
menacing facts that led me to in
ssrt the announcement reminding the
New York public what Abraham Lin
coln said about the Tariff.
An excellent reason, truly. 1t is a
fine example of the business man in
politics. Thoughtful minds in all
parts 10 the world are considering the
menace to Western civilization that
is found in Oriental competition. How
to avert that peril, not how to in
v-te it, should be the study of all
practical men. Mr.. Coward's quota
ton from Lincoln Is apt and timely

We hear quite little comment on
the unusual sport to be had in
fishing this spring. Never before has
the finny tribe been SO plentiful anb1
never before has SO much interest
been manifested, i'm this section
Bass, mostly black, seem to be the
most plentiful in this stream, while
many other species have also increas-
ed Many large carp and buffalo
have been caught on trout lines near
here, trout line fishing being also
much better. Many attribute this 10
the enforcement of the net law and
We agree. With thousands of nets
in Green and Rough rivers, from the
mouths up, fish had little chance OF
evading them. Small game fish and
loads of large ones with millions
of eggs We're taken from these nets
When the rivers are rising fish feed
in the sloughs and the mouths OF
these We're completely stopped by nets
causing a wholesale slaughter. 1t is
easy 10 see therefore that when this
was stopped and other measures TAX

turally become more plentiful. Dis

THE COLORADO SITUATION.

The situation in Colorado is one
of National Importance. Back of
;.his rupture in the friendly and hon
orable relations between mine-owners
and working-men there lies some fun
damental, melting cause that is of
more than local significance. Just
what this cause is, and what par
ties are to blame for this crisis that
is nothing short of CYL war i'm its
most horrible form, will, we trust,
be fully brought out in the inves-
tigation that has been ol'dered and
that is to be pushed ruthlessly TO
the end.
This is too Serious a state of af-
fairs to be passed over Lightly as
soon as actual hostilities have ceas-
ed and the mines have been put in
operation again. This calls for more
than mediation aih temporary settle
ment If cause of sufficient weight
to bring about the present grave sit
uation has existed in Colorado, then
it may exist again. 1t may spread to
other states, perhaps does exist in
other sections of our country to-day.
Can the American people that look
with askance and even horror on the
do.ngs of our sister Republic to the
south of the Rio Grand, can they
permit the throes of civil war No
wreck a state, to rend asunder the
natural bonds that bind together
our capitalistic and working classes
throughout the country, and thus ex-
tend this actual state of war?
In the strike district hostile camps
have been pitched, and armed guards
posted by both sides; property has
been destroyed, anii men have been
idle arll hungry; threats have been
made and executed, Men, women
and children have suffered. even LIED.
What has caused all this suffering?
Who is to be credited with these
crimes against humanity? You may say
that some OF the miners there are Of
foreign and lower element. You may
say that conditions there are worse
than at other places. You say that
the mine-owners are in this case more
obdurate than ordinarily. You may say
that someone in authority has erred,
that you have heard rumors of i'm
parchment. But what is back of all
this smoke and fire? Who, or whats
is responsible? The time is fast ap-
preaching, if indeed it has not al
ready come, when the American peo-
pie will demand something more than
an explanation for such lawless and
unhuman acts as have been recently
perpetrated in Colorado. Let them
demand it now. szzss--.-
The United States troops have taken
charge of the situation and are quick
ly restoring order. The Governor of
Colorado has asked the Legislature
to investigate. Federal investigation
has been suggested. Us this in
vestigation to mean anything?
Is it to bring results? Let the in
telligent public demand, and that i'm
peratively, that a settlement that is
really fundamental be malie in or
der that such a tragic situation may
never again arise.
