spoke dispassionately his blue eyes
did not fash and he did not rant he
spoke OF national ownership as the

Colorado has been In state of
armed warfare for 10 years. Even as
long ago as the Haywood Meyer Petit
bone activities, and the killing of
Gov. Steunenberg, OF Idaho, there were
hostilities in Colorado. In the min
ing regions OF West Virginia, II is an
actual fact that the constitution or

sides are anarchists--the miners on
the one hand, against the government
which Expresses them the mine own

government in order to suppress their

over the Philippines some day, but
We could never rid ourselves OF our
responsibility for Mexico"
