Nc fusion
No harmony
No compromise,
That was the keynote OF the Sev-
cnth District progressive conference
that met In Hutchinson on Monday.
That was the substance of III. r.so-
lutions. that was the tenor of all
IN. sp.eches: that was the suggestion
of the leaders and the approval of
the rank and file.
The speeches differed IN subject
matter and language. but We're all of
the same purport-that the progress
si,e party was n separate and dis
tinct political entity from the repub-
lican party. that there was no occa-
sion for. and no reason In fusion or
harmony. as the standpattcrs
phrase II. and that The thing for the
new party To do Was TO have its own
ticket and fight its own battle. with
out regard To what republicans or
democrats should do and invit. pro-
Kressi,es OF all parties to come with
them and make one progressive party
that would appeal 10 the north and
the south. the east and the west
alike.
Evidently this Is sse sort OF talk
tn. rank and file wanted To hear. for
every tmpassioned declaration Of
progressive principles ~as received
with tumultuous cheers. every shaft
Of ridicuie Of the Atandpat plea for
harmony was received with laughter
and je.fs and every thrust at the
democratic party In state and nation
and every prophecy that the demo
cratic party itself would eventually
split into progressives and standpats
was Acknowledged with enthusiasm.

BACK FROM WAR ZONE
Many soldiers Released from DUTY

Strike Would be Over.

Or. John Marquardt is at home
once more after somewhat tenn
pestuous career in the strike zone.
He gave out the startling informa-
tion that just before he left walsen.
burg General Chase was arrested
and that as yet he had been unable
to learn OF his fate.
DR.. Marauardt says ten per cent
OF the soldiers OF the Second Regi-
ment Uer- released from duty on
New Years day. but tnat as long as
the saloons remain open In Walsen-
burg or In any OF the other camps
some soldiers will be needed to pre-
serve order.
WalsenburE has 5000 population
and twenty-eight saloons. and all the
striking miners do is to tank up day
and night and make all the trouble
they can. The strike would be at
an end In ten minutes II the saloons
were put out OF business perman-
entity. tf there were no saloons
there would be no strike.
A good many of the strikers are
going back to work. and more OF
them would II they we're not afraid
of engendering the ill-wiil of their
fellow workers. During the last
ten days of the old year the striking
miners were going back to work at
the rate OF four and five Il day. and
$50 strike breakers arrived from
the east on the day before Christmas
and are now at work In the mines.

Gated at Lamar next Monday. The

NUMBER /
Victim Of strike at Hospital

George Libby. a track walker for
the Santa Fe railroad, Is at the COM
pany hospital in this city suffering
from broken arm and other injur-
les AS a result of what is believed to
have been an attempt to burn a
company bridge near the Radiant
coal mine near Florence. near the
hour OF midnight last Saturday.
Earnest W. Farmer. Libby's part
ner In watching the bridge and the
spur OF track going from the Flor
ence and Canon City branch OF the
Santa fe to the mines. was found
dead on the tracks early Sunday
morning by Charles Thomas. the day
man. who was going to relieve
Farmer. Farmer had been shot in
the neck with shot gun. apparently
from ambush. Since the bridge on
the road to the mines was repaired.
after having burned down several
weeks ago. two men have been kept
on duty at night guarding II. George
Libby. the man who IL now In the
hospital In La Junta. was shot at the
same night, and In returning the fire,
fell over an embankment and broke
his arm. The fact that he fell Ii
probably all that saved his life, his
assailant evidently thinking him
dead.
The Radiant mine is working non-
union men. and all the coal from the
mine has to come over the bridge
where the killing occurred. can
of coal oil found near the scene
seems to point to the fact that an
attempt was to be made to burn the
bridge.

DECEMBER WEATHER REPORT
Nearly Three Inches Of Moisture Dur
ing the Month Of Dcccm,i,cr-
Snow on Ground Every DAY

The month OF December was re-
cord breaker. even to the oldest In
habitant. so far as unusual weather
conditions are concerned. There was
not a day during the entire month
when there was not snow on the
ground. and there was not "A day dur
ing the month when the snow melted
to any great degree. II was the
longest period OF continued cold wea-
ther. without u break or a lctup that
even the Oldest inhabitant has ever
sustained It's reputation unto the very
last. making Its exit without a sign
of making a change In the tempera-
ture. or modifying conditions that
have made life for the coal man
singly and alone. and all by himself
one continual round OF pleasure
and some profit. as well.
What a difference there was. how
ever. on the first bright morning Of
the glad new year. December play
ed the role OF a roaring lion until
the shrieking whistles ushered In the
new year. but the infant. 1914. made
his bow clad In summer apparel. and
Old Boreas tempered the wind In har-
mony with his lack OF raiment and
shorn appearance unto the
lamb. II there were any left after a
! month of such strenuous weather.
Although not many of us are in
iatuated with sloppy weather, IL
certainly looked good to see the
melting snow course down the gut
tiers IN rivers of water on New Years
day. II was likewise a great relief.
as the continued cold weather had
become exceedingly monotonous.
When the day was done, and dark
ness fell from the wings of night.
there was very little snow left on the
streets of La Jun,a. and let up hope
that from now one We Will have un-
ending days of that good old brand
OF Colorado weather. like New Years
Day. for which this state Is Justly
famous. but which some OF the new
comers think is a vagary OF the I'm
aginaiion.
After these few preliminary re-
marks. ". viii now tell you some
thing about the weather In Deccm-
ber. as We started out to do In th.
first Instance. During the month
of December there were sixteen clear
days. six partly cloudy days. and
nine cloudy days. with snow on the
ground every day. The total pre-
cipitation during the month was
2.77 inches. all of which was snow
fall
The snowfall record during the
month of December was something
remarkable. There were eight snow
storms during the month. aud the
total amount OF snowfall was 30t0
inches. as follows:

Therefore my father pointed out 10 me
that he sold things wholesale and that
