LET U PREVAIL.

A great many people, and es'
pecially the demagogues, jump
to the conclusion right away
whenever there is a long pro-
tracted labor trouble in any IN
dustry that the operators alone
are too blame. In the Colorado
trouble many would make it APP
pear that the blame rests entire
ly with the operators. Whether
this is true or not, we do not
know. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose, however, that one side is
as truthful as the other, and
while our sympathies are always
with the under dog, if the under
dog is not too 'yaller," we
would give credence to state
ments corresponding to facts es-
tablished in other strikes. Mr..
Rockefeller who owns 40 per cent
of the stock of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company says that 80
per cent of the company en-
ployees are nOn-uniOn men, and
that he has no objection to or
gained labor, but insists that
the unions should not be per-
mitted to impose determinations
against the men not affiliated
with them. Mr.. Rockefeller fur
Their says:
We stand ready TO lose every
cent we have invested in that
company rather than that the
workingmen of this country
should lose their right to work
for whom they please"
ITS a great principle. It's
a national issue. And we in
tend to support the officers in
their course, which is in support
Of the workingmen themselves
and their right to work for
whom they please"
If these statements are true,
Mr.. Rockefeller should receive
the support of every honest man
in the country. In the mean
time United States troops are on
the way to disarm the beligerents
and restore order to the mining
district. Let truth prevail.

Only one thing was needed to
bring the general disgust felt to-
ward the |. w. w. to a climax,
big Bill" Haywood furnished il
at Carnegie Hall on Sunday even
ing when he said:
"The signal given by Presiden-
Wilson for wal will be the signal
for a general strike. Working
men won't go to war. 1t is bet
ter to be a traitor to your cOun-
try than to your class"
American workingmen have no
use for towards or traitors Of
any sort. They are wise enough
to know that the man who will
betray his country will sell out
his best friend for a mess of pot

Plenty Of Coal.

1T is interesting to note that
William D. Haywood of the |. w.
w. has announced that in, the
event Of war between the United
States and Mexico, this country
would find itself without fuel,
since it has been decided that if
such a wan is launched the coal
mines Will be deserted by the
miners.
This is a pretty poor speci-
Of Americanism. Yet 1t need
worry nobody. If the United
States finds it necessary to pur-
sue it's program toward Mexico
to the extent Of prolonged arm
ID conflict, there will be good
Americans enough to man the
mines. There Will be no need
of coercion.
Nevertheless. it will do no
good to remind Mr.. Haywood
that in the event of a war the
Government. backed by the SEN
|timent of millions of worthy
citizens, has its own way of get
ting its tasks done. Policemen 5
clubs, used in a somewhat UNI
heroic fashion in eases Of merel,
local disturbance, nothing
compared with those forms of
coercion which the Government
can properly command when
emergencies arise. - st. Louis

HARRY D. BURST.

In presenting the name Of
Harry D. burst to the readers
of The Intelligencer as a candi-
date for congress in this district,
we do so, firm in the conviction
that if Mr.. burst is nominated
and elected he will bring to this
county and district some of the
prestige enjoyed while Mr.. Cow
herd was our representative. 1t
cannot be denied that this dis
trict is not receiving the recOg-
nition it is entitled to in national
affairs, and to remedy this it is
necessary hat a change be made
in our representative. At this
day and age "a congressman s a.
bility is not measured by his
p%assiveneSs in voting with the
party, right or wrong, or his
ability to distribute garden seeds
to the greatest number of his
constituents. The Seventh dis
trict surely can produce a man
with some originality a man of
individuality and character who
will cQmmand respect and re-
ceer't'an4 within q reasonable
ti"e; a Ban who VII do some
tn ag besides draw his salary and
walk in the shadow Of the other
members Of MissoUri's delegation
Tie Seventh needs a man
who has been, first. "A success in
his own business. A man who
has risen by individual effort to
a prominent place in his chosen
procession. and who commands
The respect and admiration of his
nefghborS for these qualities. Let
us not deceive ourselves in think
ing that it takes a congressman
with Just ordinary ability ten
years to get a craftsmanship Of
an insignificant committee. Abil-
ity there counts, and recognition
is forthcoming to the man who
ha, it. The Seventh has been
kind to Mr.. Hamlin. He has
been given every opportunity to
grow, and no doubt he has done
his best, but his best does not
measure u, to the standard we
should expect in a congressman.
He should be set aside and an
other man gives the opportunity
who has been. at least, successful
in former undertakings, to show
that he is of the callber of which
congressman are made, and emf
nentIy qualified to meet the de-
mands of this important office.
The Inteligencer expresses the
belief that Mr.. burst is the
] man.

Treasurer John Burke Of the Uni
ted States, former governor Of North
Dakota, has written the following
statement Of the conditions in his Of
flee, touched upon in recen articles
from Washington:
Mr.. Burke makes the following
statement:
Yes, 1 read the articles in The
Washington Evening Times and The
New York Tribune in reference to the
condition Of the United States treas
ury, and l am surprised. that such res
ports vert printed without; anSinves.
tigation at the treasury sd rye i
It is published as something new,
and great disclosures are to be made
on account Of q secret investigation,
when. as a matter Of fact. the general
public has known ever since former
Secretary MacVeagh. put In the new
system Of accounting on Feb. 1 last.
that the increased work on. account Of
such system could not be done by the
employees in the treasury.
This new system vac put in on
Feb. 1. 1913. and congress in the APP
preparation act passed March 4. 1913,
approved the same by providing that
the secretary Of the treasury might
transfer from the sub-treasuries to
the treasury employees to do the extra
work imposed by the new system.
Under this new system, the. United
States treasury is made a clearing
house for all the government business,
the object being to facilitate the busi-
ness Of the general public dealing
with the government, and 1t was
thought at the time tho system was
inaugurated that a sufficient number
Of employees could be transferred from
the sub-treasuries to the treasury to
keep the work current. Secretary
MacVeagh, however, did not take into
consideration the large number Of
banks (40o in number). that prior to
that time were doing q great portion
Of the work, all of which. under the
new system, is lone here in the treas
ury. Then, in addition. to the burden
imposed by Secretary MacVeagh, Sec
rotary McAdoo increased the number
Of depositaries to 1000, with all Of
which the Office had to open an ac-
count, and then $50, 200. 900 was SUBJ
sequently deposited with the banks In
the different parts Of the country for
~crop-moving purposes, all Of which
had to be accounted for in the ONCE
Of the treasurer.
In spite Of all these, burdens. the
treasury has made gains In all except
the bookkeeping section. There IL n 10
danger OF the government sustaining
great losses, as intimated, by reason
Of checks not being cleared promptly.
Secretary Macveagh's order No. S
specifically states that banks receiving
checks must use the same judgment
