IT WAS UNNECESSARY.

@ NE of the things in connection
 with the terrible unfortunate
 war in Colorado that make the heart grow sick is that 1t was all un- necessary. Public sentiment in the United States is sufficiently developed to sustain people who are in the right, when their case is put up to them squarely, without resort to arms, and money is lot better spent when de- voted to education that when invested in fire arms and ammunition.
 There is no place in the world where people have bigger hearts or broader sympathies than in the United States, and there is no place where the sense of justice prevails in Q greater de- gree. or where people respond more readily to reason. Usually when injus- tice is done by public opinion it is where the public is either misinformed or not informed at all.
 The striking miners of Colorado had a good case to put before the people. The mine owners had done many things that public opinion condemns chief of which was the employment of armed guards-a thing that has been made unlawful in many States, and that should be made so in all.

NO SYMPATHY FOR HUERTA.
people everywhere will

VUTHILE people everywhere will w approve the promise of the
 United States to protect the life of Huerta. if he gives himself in the Keeping of the country, there will be little sympathy wasted over him by informed people. The ruin that stares him in the face Is deserved. He brought 1t all on himself It Is the re- suit of sordid. calculated treason-trea- son to country. treason to friends, trea- son to benefactors-and cold-blooded murder.
 Huerta was the commander of the Mexican army under President Ma dero, and as such had successfully sup pressed the Felix Diaz insurrection at Vera Cruz, and condemned Diaz to death. Madero pardoned Diaz. This was followed by conspiracy between Huerta and Diaz for the removal of Madero from office. Of this conspir. acy the American and British repre- sentatives in Mexico - Henry Lane Wilson and Sir Lionel Carden-had guilty knowledge. Madero was re- moved from the Presidency by the army, acting under Huerta's orders, and assassinated, also by Huerta's or. ders. Thus was consummated one of the blackest reasonable conspiracies that ever was matched on the conti, nent.
 The foreshadowed end of Huerta and his government is the logical termin- ation of the crime he commltted-a crime than which nothing worse is chargeable against an army officer.

It will cause no surprise to learn that the first American to lose his life at Vera Cruz was of the Irish race. The lives of Irishmen are always ready for sacrifice for the Stars and Stripes. The Initial Vera Cruz victim was Daniel Haggerty. a native of Cambridge, Mass. born of Irish parents.

Escape Getting Away

took French leave from the prison
farm, has not yet arrived back at the
state institution, but is expected q"
be accorded the privilege of a visit
to the dungeon within the next forty
eight hours, as his trail has been
struck and the officials claim it IS
impossible for him to get away
Last evening the prison trailer
discovered that Martinez had taken
to the mountains from point near
Steamboat Springs and was headed
over the summit in the direction oi
Truckee. Members OF the state po-
lice and the prison guards have every
outlet covered while the half-brecd
trailer and guards are following his
trail over the mountains.
