tor about it, his gracious words were
these:
"Now, don't get excited, kid. We've
been attacked by people like you so
often, and we've grown so prosper
GUS on it, that we don't care a damn
what you say"
And then went to visit an old Den
yer family; and they gossiped, as old
families will, and told me of the basis
of this prosperity. The proprietor
was gambler, who had made money
out of lottery, and he had gone into
publishing in partnership with bar
tender. At first it had been frankly
Matchmaking proposition; they got
story on you, and it cost you so
much to hush it up; but as they gain
ed in circulation they found there
was more money in trading with the
corporations. They were for any deal
that would let them in early, until
the next stage in newspaper evolu-
tion-they had got so big they could
afford to pose as Independents.
Let me make haste to add that
such is not the truth about all the
papers in Denver. There is a little
paper called the Express, which be-
longs to the chain of Scripps papers.
1t sells for only cent, and it is not
considered high-brow to buy it or
read it; but throughout all the time
that was in Denver it was publish

In addition, it was publishing arti-

As RoosENELr MIGHT HAVE ACrEp.

The statement by Roosevelt that in the crisis of
the great anthracite coal strike in Pennsylvania in
1902 when a great national calamity was imminent,
he planned send a military force into the mining
regions take possession of the mines and sec that
the country was furnished with coal is characteristic
of him.
It is necessary to recall the situation in 1902,
which Roosevelt finally ended by less drastic action
The whole anthracite region in revolt for living
wage and humane treatment. The miners were will
ing to have their demands arbrated. The coal
barons refused They demanded unconditional sub
mission Weeks passed. the coal supply diminished,
factories began steamships lay at their docks
coal prices rose and the nation faced catastrophe
And still the coal barons held out. As one of them
said impiousy, God had given them the power and
they would not yield.
1t was then that Theodore Roosevelt. at the time
President of the United States to the situation
Referring to this matter Yesterday Roosevelt said:
u made up my mind that I would have to take
drastic action unless the miners and operators got
together conferred with both sides and found the
attitude of Mr. Mitchell and the miners to be entirely
reasonable while that of the operators entirely
unreasonable and offensive intended to send in the
United States army and take possession of the coal
fields, and only wanted to get the authority The
officer in command to pay attention to court
orders and would take his orders only from the Pres
dent
But the coal operators were forced to descend
from their high pedestal and agree to arbitration.
And the commission appointed by the President de-
cided in favor of the miners All this is history, but
Roosevelts statement reveals for the first time what
he was prepared to do if nhuman greed held out to
the in the face of the worst situation that ever
arose In this country And what If the President had
SO acted for the salvation of the nation? What then?

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY IS, 1914
oUTwITTED BY HUERTA.
JAMES SMITH, JR.

The landing of two large cargoes of arms aud
ammunition in Mexico by German steamers was not
due 10 any fault of the navy, which, except in the
taking of Vera Cruz. has been held on the Mexican
coast for show purposes. The administration at
Washington is responsible.
These munitions of intended for use
against our soldiers in Mexico. They supply need
that Huerta has severely felt. Their use by him
pending the long powwow at Niagara will be against
the Constitutionalists. Huerta now has the means
for calling out many thousands of the miserable
poems.
The presence of the German merchant steamers
on the Mexican well known and was the
subject of communications that passed between our
state department and the German embassy. But the
German government has control of merchant ships
in foreign waters, and the laundering belief of Mr.
Bryan that he had assurances the arms would not
be landed had foundation. The arms have been
landed and by this time are in the Mexican capital
The inexcusable act of the administration was
that of leaving Mexican port in possession of Huerta
and open for supplies The obvious policy was to
take possession of all ports of entry It borders on
the ridiculous that while have the whole Atlantic
feet on the Mexican coast Huerta should have sue
ceeded easily in outwitting the administration

any time to proceedings by the encouragement to
dissolve them This feature of the bill firmly
insisted upon by the President who gave warning
that if it was changed he would veto the bill If
passed.
Under strong pressure the President was finally
induced to relax his objection to the extent of per-
hitting labor and farmers organizations to legally
exist without danger of being forcibly dissolved,
but the organizations and their members can be held
criminally responsible for specific acts
Labor organizations may even strike which is a
power they have always exercised, but if their acts
can construed be in restraint of trade they and
their members subject to prosecution. But why
a Democratic rebellion in the House and the per-
sona appeals of Democratic leaders should have been
necessary to release labor and farmers organizations
of the ban of criminaity it is hard to understand

The value of the secondary met
ais" exclusive of gold, silver, plati-
mum and iron, recovered in the United
States in 1913 was $72,845,0O0, accord
ing to ], p. Dunlop, of the United
States Geological Survey Even this
large figure is a decrease compared
with 1912, when the value was w.

The term secondary is applied to
metals recovered from scrap metal,
sweepings, skimmings, dresses, etc"
as distinguished from primary met
ais" which are derived from ore but
without implication that the second
ary metals are of inferior quality.
The survey figures reveal only in a
partial way the vast extent of the
waste material industry. which yearly
becomes greater and better organized.
The value of old iron and steel re-
used exceeds that of remelted brass
and the value of old rubber and pa
per stock amounts to many millions

For a few purposes requiring es-
pecial purity of material it is nee
essary to employ primary or virgin
pig metal, but as a general rule sec
ondary metals can be used in whole
or in part. and most foundries use
them. Over 80 per cent. of the refiu-

Fairgrounds Aid Citizenship

| breakdowns and tubercular ten
denotes.
We arc beginning to realize the
benefit Of pure air and sunshine, and
in order to have good health we must
have more recreation and play in
Gods out-of- doors" One of our
foremost and most successful men
has said that the man or woman,
to be successful in life and to make
the right kind of. citizen, must have
the spirit of the chifd-"the same zest,
| earnestness, enthusiasm and cheer
fulness that the child manifests in
his play he must show in his work"
Instead of spending so much on our
tubercular hospitals and homes for
| incurables, let us see that the children
are properly cared for with pure food,
fresh air and proper exercise. The
use of preventive measures in child
hood save the expenditure of large
sums in after life to care for diseased
F., humanity.
The story is told of a little girl of
seven years of age in a congested
| district of one of our cities who had
been a sufferer from a tubercular
| condition of the spine and never able
| TO leave her bed. Through the kind
| ness of a friend, a wheeling chair
| was provided for the little invalid
that she might be taken in the open
air. One day her mother wheeled her
| to one of the Fairgrounds where, for
the first time, she saw the green
grass. Looking up into her mothers
face she said, 20, mother, let me out,
| that | may only touch it."
The moral side of the playground
| is the most important factor. Some
one has said, "Vice is only love for
pleasure gone wrong" 1t should be
the duty, as well as the privilege, of
society to supply the right kind OF
pleasure. Would our boys go far
wrong if the chance of a delightful
swim or game of ball was before
| them?
In several of our cities where the
Fairgrounds have been established
| juvenile crimes are far less frequent
In the suburbs of one of our large
| towns a small boy was seen by q
friend stealing apples from a tree
| Knowing the boy had all the apples
| he wanted at home, she demonstrated
with him. why, Billie, what are
you taking those apples for? That is
| stealing"
well" said Billie, 81 don't care
nothing about the apples, but ]
haven't any place to play, and it's
such fun to have the cop chase me. "
1t was purely the boys natural de-
sire for adventure and something tc
do.
Wealthy men and women of our
cities have their country clubs, theil
cricket games and golf links. Pub
lic-spirited men and women must see
to it that the poor and middle classes
are also provided with recreation. We
cannot expect boys and girls to be
good unless we offer them some in
centive. Is it not far better to give
the child the proper environment and
spend money on his recreation, such
as the playground affords, than tC
spend five times the amount to re-
claim him when he has become e
fallen citizen and has learned i'm.
moral lessons that he will not for
get?

That touching and pathetic poem of
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, THE
CRY of the Children" which stirred
all England has had its echo in our
land in this enlightened twentieth
century, Jane Adams, Jacob Riis,
Spargo and others have taken up this
pitiful cry of childhood and made 1t
sink deep into the hearts Of many
American citizens.
Carlyle has said, The insight OF
genius is cooperation with the real
tendencies of the world" One of the
greatest of these tendencies today is
that the worth and value of child
hood is recognized as never before.
The greatest asset of a nation is
her children. Education means to
educate or bring out the best in each
child. We are beginning to realize
that the child needs not only mlnd
training, but manual and physical as
WE'LL that the development of the
manual and physical are just as i'm
portant as the intellectual
The great playground movement
that is sweeping over our country has
the need of physical training as a
definite part of our educational sys-
tenn: in fact, the playground move
ment is an educational movement.
At it's inception many intelligent
minded citizens were opposed to
establishing Fairgrounds, asserting
that parks and squares met the needs
of the children.
Parks and squares bring the
beauties of the country to the cities,
such as grass, trees and flowers, but
the playground is a place where our
boys-and girls can play and run and
jump and spend their pent-up
energies without being admonished
to keep off the grass or don't do
| this or that"
| The workers in behalf of the play
ground movement, through patient
systematic endeavor, have nodded
public sentiment to viewing the
| movement as part Of public edu-
| cation. They have made it clear that
not alone are open spaces needed FOL
| the child's normal activities, but that
| trained men and women should super
wise the play.
1t requires as much ability, tact
and enthusiasm successfully to super
| wise a playground as 10 telCn d SldSs
/ in mathematics or the classics. Fan
better no playground than one with
out a trained supervisor, combining
| in his or her makeup tact, energy
physical strength and a thorough
knowledge and love of childhood. The
transformation of the bad boy or girl
| such as the playground has accom-
plished. demands good Judgment
ability to cope with all kinds of prob
lens. self-restraint and ability fol
| leadership.
The playground teaches fair play
which is one of the lessons seldom
| learned in after-lfe; obedience
loyalty, cooperation and the ability
to be a good loser.
While the educational side of the
playground is of great value, the
physical side appeals to everyone
especially in this age of nervous

A Very Remarkable Dog

The case of the Elberfeld horses no
longer stands quite alone, There
exists at Mannheim a dog of a rather
doubtful breed who performs almost
the same feats as his equine rivals
He is less advanced than they in
arithmetic, but does little additions,
subtractions and multiplications of
one or two figures correctly He
reads and writes by tapping with his
paw, in accordance with an alphabet
which, it appears, he has thought out
for himself; and his spelling also is
simplified and phoneticized to the ut
most He distinguishes the colors in
bunch of flowers, counts the money
in a purse and separates the marks
from the pfennigs. He knows how
to seek and find words to define the
object or the picture placed before
him. You show him, for instance, a
! bouquet in a case and ask him what
it is.
"a glass with little flowers" he re-
plies.
And his answers are often curiously
spontaneous and original. In the
course of a reading exercise in which
the word Herbst, autumn, CHANGED
to attract attention. Professor Will
lam Mackenzie asked him if he could
explain what autumn was.
at is the time when there are
apples" Rolf replied.
On the same occasion, the SANE
professor without knowing what i
represented, held out to him a care
marked with red and blue squares:
whats this?"
"Blue red lots of cubes,' replied
the dog.
Sometimes his repartees are no
lacking in humor.
us there anything you would Xix
me to do for you?" a lady of hi
acquaintance asked one day.
'"Wedelen" which means. "Wai
