OUR LOCAL LoRIMER
Editorial in Rocky Mountain News

Politics so rotten that whole
state gagged at it was played in Hi
nois by William Lorimer in the name
of Abraham Lincoln. In an effort to
"fool all the people all the time" he
formed a Lincoln League. The pur-
pose, of course, was votes. But the
people refused to vote for graft even
| in the name of the martyred Presi-
dent, and the Lincoln League went
down with Lorimer and his four banks
and his newspaper.
Substitute law for Lincoln, Colora-
do for Illinois, the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company for Lorimer. Spell
Graft with big G-the sack of a
state is the stake. Sprinkle in few
women and minister or two-the
Dean Harris ct al. who write reams
of letters themselves to newspapers
but damn the same newspapers for
printing other peoples letters. Add
a mixture of professional prostitutes
like Herbert George. Shake well and
take it-or leave it.
We predict for the coal companies
claw and Order League" a tumultu-
GUS voyage. There are breakers too
numerous to mention. Decent people
are about as decent in Colorado as
they are in Illinois. They know graft
here, when they see it, from bitter
experience. They can smell it a mile.
| Mr.. Lorimer is eloquent on occa-
sion. We respectfully suggest that
the coal companies bring him out
here as a campaign orator and allow
him to tell of his experience with
Public Opinion.

LABOR EDITORS SHOULD GO ARMED

The editor of Kansas paper states
that he picked up Winchester rifle
one day and started down the street
to deliver it to its owner. The delin-
quent subscribers got it into their heads
that he was ont on the warpath, and
everyone he met insisted on paying him
what they owed him. One man wiped
out debt of ten years standing. On
his return to his office he found load
of hay, fifteen bushels of corn, ten bush
els OF potatoes. load of wood and a
barrel of turnips. VIII someone please

Former President Taft, true to his
record as federal judge and chief ex-
ecutive of the nation. made the occasion
of college address this week the vehicle
for another vicious attack on organized
labor, declaring against the Clayton
trust bill and lambasting all those who
gave aid to Colorado coal strikers who
are contending for industrial justice.
Had not Taft been so thoroughly dis
credited by the people at the last presi-
dental election, his diatribes might
cause some worry.

ADELAIDE PHILLIPS
And An oId-time Negro Melody

Early in 1910 a tiny English lass OF
seven years landed in America with
her parents from Stratford- -on- Avon,
the historic birthplace of william
Shakespeare. At the age of nine lit
tie Adelaide Phillips made her first
appearance at the fremont theatre in
Boston. Jenny Lind met her and ad-
vised her to go to London. and later
she studied in Italy, where she won
great triumph as Arsace in Sem
iramide." Returning to America she
was given an ovation accorded few
singers and continued her tour on to
Cuba. When the Boston Ideal Opera
company was formed 1n 1879 she ap-
peared in "Pinafore" and the Sullivan
operas, and added greatly to her fame
as one of Americas most popular and
beloved coptralto singers. 1t was a
memory that can never be effaced 70
hear Adelaide Phillips sing the old
popular songs as encore after encore
was demanded. To hear her sing that
plaintive melody of Fosters, "Massa's
in de Cold. Cold Ground" vibrated the
heart chords and touched the hearts
of hearers. This song is to be found
on page $50 Of Heart Songs" verit-
able library of the greatest songs in
the world, and now offered to the
readers of this paper for six coupons
and the cost of distribution. See cou-
pom with terms elsewhere in todays
