to discharge faithfully and well. duties
which We cannot shirk or fail to dis
charge without disqualification and the
condemnation of the people and of our

A Question of Duties.
The President discharges his duties.
The question is, Have we the wisdom,
the courage and the patriotism to dis

The declaration in favor of free tolls
for our coastwise trade was writ large
in the Baltimore platform. 1t is in these
words:
We favor the exemption from toll of
American ships engaged in coastwise
trade passing through the canal
I'VE also favor legislation forbddinS
the use of the Panama canal by ships
owned or controlled by railroad carriers
engaged in transportation competitive
with the canal.

truth is the tolls plank was introduced in
the usual wa and was fully discussed
not only discussed. but amended and
agreed to in its amended form by the full
committee and then by the whole con-

We went to the people on that platform

voters of the land for their support. and

ment was said to have been the re-
suit Of pressure from the Kaiser.
who feared an invasion of Holland
by England threatening Germany
with a flank attack. The Dutch pro-
ject included the construction OF
forts at Flushing strong enough to
stop the navigation Of the Schelda
in case OF war. Belgium at once be-
came panic stricken and the powers
opposed to Germany opened their
eyes to new situation.
Tho basic fact in the matter is the
$40 miles of frontier between Bel
GUM and France, which. there ia
every reason to believe. is very feeb-
ly defended on the French side.
Since 1871 France has concentrated
her efforts on erecting impregnable
barriers between Paris and the Ger
man frontier and has almost totally
neglected the Belgian line. relying
on the sacredness of the treaties Of
neutrality.
But about the same time that the
Flushing controversy arose study Of
the western Germany railway sys-
TENS led to the conclusion that an
incursion into Belgium territory was
embraced in the German program in
case of war with France. The multi
plicity of tracks leading to within a
few miles of the Germano-Belgic
frontier, and vast yard and terminal
facilities at border points such as
Treves and AK. far exceeding the
needs of commerce. looked ominous
Belgium has. of late. entertained
no false hope Of preserving with her
own resources her neutrality as a
buffer state in case of an European
conflict. Though on a final mobil-
ization she 3ut from $50 to 10000
men in the field it has been realized
that her forces are no match for
German troops in equipment. train
ing or morale. She has steadily cast
her reliance upon Eug,Ana to pre-,
serve her peaceful status, or at worst
render its violation improbable.
Her idea has been that a British ex-
peditionary force landing at Ant
werp and rallying the Belgian fore
es MS an auxiliary might attack the
German advance into France at right
angles, thus compelling hasty re.
treat or else threatening to cut Off
the German invading army from its
base of supplies.
! This plan, of course, depends fol
its success uoon the Scheldt, upon
which Antwerp is situated, bein!
kept open to navigation, and conse
quently the elimination of any work.
az Flushing which Germany might
control. These works have not YET
been built and the river is open. Late
news dispatches say the English wal,
ships are guarding the estuary so al
to prevent German seizure of vantage
points from which effective opposi.
tion might be made to British trans.
ports proceeding up the river tc
Antwerp. However, 1t is not be.
lieved that the British expeditionary
force has been brought in this way
and apparently this plan will not be
attempted.

From the Pueblo Chieftain.

citizen who is in no way connected

tinue. The operators can close down
their properties and be ahead OF the

II the latest order of the war depart
ment is to be enforced how is he 60
ing to get 1t at any price?
The government says that the op-
orators must not employ men who
are not citizens of Colorado. that they
must not solicit men to work In their
properties. and that men who have
been solicited, and who are not citi-
Zens of Colorado, must be discharged.
On the very face of the order 1t is alb
surd A man to be a citizen OF Colo
RADIO must be citizen of the United
States, and 1t is well-known fact
that many of the mine workers are
not American citizens. Moreover, 1t
is we'll known fact that at this
tim there are not enough coal miners
OF all nationalities living in Colorado
to work the mines to their capacity.
Had the federal authorities said to
the mine owners: You will have IN
close your properties. let them fill
with water and become destroyed !
we do not approve of your mining
coal at ALL" It could not have taken
a step that would have been any
more serious.
Is 1t not time that Colorado be-
came state of the union? Ia it not
time the good citizens of Colorado
forgot political differences, and
speak in no uncertain terms at pri-
maries and polls in November for
men who will be big enough and
broad enough to ask the federal au-
thorities to call off it's troops? This
is a serious matter, a mighty serious
matter, and as the cold weather
comes on and we all fill the pinch OF
a higher price for coal we need not
lay the blame on the miners, on the
operators. on the dealers, but instead
on those who have, by their politica
activity, forced the condition which
confronts us.

Belgium adheres to the idea gen.
orally held in the past that neutral

mune from invasion on any ground
or pretext. She has determined to
oppose her feeble resources to any
use of her land or it's facilities for
warfare in which she has no concern
or interest. Naturally she has ap-
pealed to England to aid her in as
serting her rights and repelling and
defeating the German aggression.
The naturalization of Belgium

Belgian neutrality dates back to

"an Independent and perpetuan>

signed by England, France. Russia,
Prussia and Austria. King William
