The Attacks on Keating 6

The Trinidad Chronicle-Nex exs
of the 9th ult. contains saw
age editorial attack on Congress
man Keating-rather it is one of
a series of attacks directed to-
wards Colorado's popular Con-
gressman.
If the Trinidad News, during
the existence of the strike in the
Trinidad coal fields, had been
anything but a dead give away,
what it might see fit to spouta-
bout might be taken with some
consideration.
The News, from the time of
the opening of the strike to the
pres ent, has shown itself to be
the hired attorney of the oDer-
ators. 1t has gone into the min
ers with the same ferociousness
that it has jumped onto Con-
gressman Keating. 1t has
shown to them no quarters and
granted to them no rights thai Il
white man is bound to respect.
We don't say that the News is
subsidized, that it's editorial in
Gnence is bought and paid for,
hu. 1t would be no more of a deal
give away if II contract with th1
operators to deliver the goods
was printed at the head of it's ed
itorial columns.
The trouble with the news Is
that it undertakes too much. along
with a number of ether Colorado
papers. IL fights as if it were q
tigress and the operators were
its cubs
The newspaper that cannot
have one single good word Tor
th. other side to a controversy,
is a newspaper whose counsel IL
would be dangerous to follow
whether it is Il hired attorney
or not.
Before making another fe'
rocious attack on Keating, will
the News stand W and tell the
nuhl,c how much it is being paid
by the operators; and if moth
ing. why it is it can't have one
good word for the other side:

During the next month or two

ed the bombardment the other
Gay when he returned from Eu-
rope. He said a lot of things
about the treaty and the foreign
policy of President Wilson which
neither the Colonel nor any other
sane man believes.
The nations of the Earth are
NOT laughing at the United
States, as Mr.. Roosevelt sug-
gests. They never respected us
more or feared US less. We have
ceased to bully the little fellows,
but that has caused US to carry
our heads a bit higher when we
are dealing with the big fellows.
We are showing the world
that we are strong enough to do
right, even when it involved con,
Tossing that we once did wrong.
We stole Panama from Colom-
bia. No amount of ranting by
Colonel Roosevelt or any one else
will cause history to lose sight
of that fact. We cannot return
the stolen goods because we
have constructed the Panama
canal through portion of the
territory thus acquired. But we
can make the amends honorable.
We can say TO little Colombia:
We're sorry, old boy, and we
are willing to pay for the damage
we have done"
Or course, that is not the way
England woald do it. But what
do we care about how England
would do it? We must deter
mine how the United States-the
most enlightened republic in the
history of the world-will do it.
If Colombia were a great strong
country, witla-Aa,- efficient arrax
and navy, we might hesitate,
fearing the world would mis- un-
derstand our action. Fortunate
ly no one imagines we are afraid
of Colon bia. We can be just
without being suspected of cow

UNABLE TO FIND
CLUE IN WATER
LOO MYSTERY
Police Believe Slayer of Richard
Higgins is Still in That City.

Waterloo, Ia, Oct. 10.-Mystery
still surrounds the murder of Rich
ard w. Higgins last Saturday night,
and all the efforts of the police and
sheriff have been fruitless in fasten-
ing the crime upon any person,
though they feel certain the MUIR
derer is still in Waterloo.
That Higgins was shot down
near his home for spite or because
of jealousy seems certain, for his
money and watch were not modest
ed. The officers feel certain there
is woman in the case," but have
been unable to get any evidence
which would warrant an arrest.
They even are not certain whether
the murderer was a man or a wom-
an. The grand jury now in session
has heard several witnesses.

MEN FORM CLUBS
TO GET HELP MATES
Dakota Residents Appeal to
Dixie Girls to Come to
Them and Wed
MANY MARRIAGE CANDIDATES
Southern Women Are Asked to Form
Organization to Help the Plan
Each Club to Secure Endorsement
of Officials.

Birmingham, Ala.-A vail for wo-
Alabama to form club with the
purpose of supplying desirable wives
to the lonesome young men of South
Dakota. It is a new plan with a
touch Of pathos behind it.
Gustus r. Chouteau, who says he
owns a ranch in South Dakota, pro-
poses the new plan. He declares
that in Dakota there is plenty OF
land and stock, but women are pain
fully scarce. I'm your State" he
says, you have plenty of fair women.
but they are handicapped like US,
in that there are few manageable
men.
Let tho women of Alabama form
a club, and we men will do the
same. Each club must secure the
Endorsement of the county officials
so that we can know we are being
fairly and squarely dealt with. I am
talking up this movement for the
young men of South Dakota, many
of whom are behind it. They are
getting very lonely without women.
"You young ladies of dear old Dixie
should remember that marriage is a
holy bond, and you have all the
qualifications for making good wives,
including health, blood Of good an
cestry beauty, brains and grace. So
why not come forward through our
proposed clubs, open correspondence,
form acquaintances with our young
men and be happily married?
Come along and throw out few
suggestions whereby the young men
of South Dakota and the young wom-
en- of Alabama may know each other
and ultimately form matrimonial al
liances. Let me hear from some
brainy, resourceful young women OF
Alabama who will help promote this
move.
1.-The club idea is being backed by
many Of the best young men Of South
Dakota, who need only the refining
influences of the beautiful women Of
the South to make their lives per-
feet. What we need out here is wo-
men, and we need them right now.
We are tired of this single, compan-
ionless life, no matter how much
money may be available here. Things
are getting too lonesome for us. Mar
riageable material is scarce. Help
u.s."
The writer adds that there are
splendid opportunities out there for
the young women of the South who
are matrimonially inclined, and that
a pretty girl from the South can pick
a husband from a long list Of eager
candidates.

MAKING It UNANIMOUS IN INDIANA
What Happened After the Professors
Happy Thought Came.

A college professor had been 1nvit
ed to deliver his lecture on Highways
and Byways of Literature" at little
town in Indiana-the State that pro
duced George AIDE and James Whit
comb Riley among other favorites.
The eventful evening came; and az
the lecturer gazed upon the row
upon row of earnest, eager faces
before him breathlessly waiting
for his message, happy thought
struck him, and, stepping to the front
of the platform, he said:
LAS this is to be purely a literary
lecture it seems fitting that practition-
ers of the glorious art of writing, if
any are present, should receive due
recognition and honor, and before I
begin my discourse wish to extend a
cordial invitation to any author who
may happen to be in the house to
please come forward and take a seat
on the platform with the chairman"
In the frantic rush that ensued the
three front rows of seats were upset
and demolished, four women tainted
and had to be carried out, half dozen
derby hats were crushed to pulp, three
men received black eyes, several 9th
ers had their coats ripped up the back,
and the reading-stand was toppled
over with a crash. When the dust
had settled down so that it was pos
sible to see across the hall once more
oil oil no in q
auditorium. The rest were on the
stage.
The astonished lecturer gazed for a
moment at the deserted man in front
of him, and then. the humorous side
of the affair appealing to him, he
smiled indulgently down upon the soil
tary occupant of the auditorium and
said:
II forgot that this was Indiana. Per
haps you did not understand my in
vitation."
"Hey? What's that?" demanded the
man, holding trumpet to his ear and
leaning forward with look of strain
ed inquiry on his face.
II say, perhaps you did not under
stand the invitation" repeated the
lecturer. This being a discourse on
literature, any author who CHANGED to
be present was requested to come for
ward and take a seat on the platform
with the chairman"
ooh, all right; I'm coming! Didn't
hear you the first time" apologized
the deaf man, and he, too, rose to his
feet and started briskly for the plat
form.
