SENATOR THOMAS'S OPINION
OF SENATOR PATTERSON.

OF SENATOR PATTERSON.
"Your enmity to corporations de-
signs is pursuit that seems to be
profitable. 1t falls upon all of them
tliat do not seek the shelter of your
clientage. Do you wonder, sir, that
men believe, when the interests you
now thunder against shall have EN-
ployed your professional services,
your paper will become as gentle as
a sucking dove.
"Is it not possible, Mr.. Patterson,
that, in your eagerness for my un-
doing, you measure me unconsciously
with your own personal standard?
AS believer in municipal ownership,
I can not recall that, even as an at
torney, l ever urged different pol
icy on the council, or attacked the
principle so vigorously as to secure
the elimination of the privilege to
purchase from the existing water con-
tract. ] can not remember being for
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties, the Denver Consolidated Gas
companies excepted. 1t can not be
charged that my views concerning the
right of the public to its own water
works were affected by the transfer
of the local company from one con-
troll TO the other"

fhe has been hobnobbing all day with
some jailbirds.
What fuss the reformed Social
lists will make over the two candidates
today, yet twice has Mr.. Patterson
disappointed his good Democratic
friends here by promising to come
here and made holiday addresses and
twice failed at the last minute, the
most recent offense being on July 4.
We wonder if Patterson knows that
the alleged newspaper which bears
the caption, "The Only Democratic
Paper in Las Animas County," was
founded and conducted in the inter-
ests exclusively of the coal strike and
its lessees were and are Socialists,
not Democrats, only posing as Demo-
Gratis for their own interests. We
wonder if Patterson knows that there
isn't regular Democrat connected
with the sheet and very few among
its subscribers, that the name was
stolen and placed at the head Of the
column to deceive the public.
If Mr.. Patterson will make the in
quiry while he is in Trinidad he will
find that in the list of the real Demo-
.crats of the county the names of none
of the persons connected with that
newspaper appear. The owner or
lessee is great agitator from Iowa
many times indicted for murder by a
grand jury. The editor is a radical
from Arkansas, who has not been a
resident of the state long enough to
cast a vote. The members of the
ring that put over the county ticket
are outside agitators, some of them
not citizens of the United States.
Mr.. Patterson, what motley bunch
of halfbreeds you are associating
with.
If you are in the company part of
the time with the old veteran Demo-
Gratis of this community you need not
be ashamed. Every one of them have
been builders and boosters of Trini-
dad, but the Socialists in disguise, the
red bandana boys-ye Gods! Mr..
Patterson, run when you see them or
else keep your hand on your pocket
book.-Trinidad Chronicle News.

COSTIGAN'S THUN-
DER.

Boulder Camera.
We don't blame Mr.. Costigan for
feeling out of patience with ex-Sen-
ator Patterson. A few months ago
il a striker were asked who he ia
yored for governor he would say, "Mr.
Cos, he gooda da man." He was the
pet of the Denver paper which start
ei the riots in Colorado. He was the
Mine Workers attorney. He was in
Gorsed by T. Roosevelt. He had a
nanc that appealed to them because
Of its probable or possible origin.
And he had the loudest oratorical
voice in Colorado. Then came the
ctange. On the horizon arose a new
stsr-new, yet old, and out of an an
Gent and troubled armament the ex-
senator wanted a birthday present on
his seventy-fifth anniversary and ask
ed for it in the form of election to be
governor. And he had the tools to
pry Costigan loose from the affections
VI VIC tiiDS vi uI5SOutcII anu IdWItSS-
ness. He had the saloons, julius
Aichele, Tom Hyder, Mike Rim, sew
eral score tenants of Seventeenth
street buildings, mortgages on several
newspapers, and the attorney of the
strikers union, Mr.. Horace N. Haw-
kins, my former partner" When
approached the striker got to saying
when asked who he favored for gov
ernor. "Mr. Pat, he gooda da man.
Me for Pat" Pat had da organ as
well as da monk, see? But it was
an ungracious thing to do to take the
olive just as it was ready to fall into
the hand that had nourished the tree,
from the man who had sprayed it's
fruit with his own tears of sorrow
for down-trodden labor that never by
any chance will work. We don't won
der Mr.. Costigan calls loudly for JUS
tice.

NOT THE FIRST TIME.

The present is not the first time
in the history of the United States
when we were at peace with all the
world that the governments outgo
was far in excess of it's income. Twen-
ty years ago we had Democratic
administration with Grover Cleveland
in the White House. Then, as now,
we were face to face with a deficit.
Happily for the present administra-
ton they have an excuse to call the
measure which is to be passed and
inflicted on the people within few
days, "war revenue bill" for this
name may deceive many. 1t is not
a war revenue bill. We are not at
war with any nation. Peace and pros
perity reigned in this country up to a
couple of years ago when it seemed
certain the Democrats were to be-
come the dominant party, with their
policy of free trade.
The fact of the matter is, and no
Democrat can truthfully deny it, the
so-called tariff measure enacted by
the present congress did not bring
in revenues enough to maintain the
extravagances Of that administra-
ton, and the present measure, tax
ing automobile horsepower, bank
checks, bills of sale, and divers and
sundry other things, is simply the re-
suit of the carrying out of policy
which has been proven fine in theory
but undesirable in practice.
And as the Democratic administra-
ton has been bad in the nation
times worse has it been in
Colorado. The extravagances of the
administration have been
puny compared with those of the
state administrations. Colorado has
suffered more during the past six
years than any other state in the
even to the extent
" losing its sovereignty. Is 1t sur
'rising, then, that the people this
rear are ready to employ Republi-
ans to handle their affairs for =
ime Pueblo Chieftain.

DOES PATTERSON KNOW?

We wonder If Mr.. Patterson and
Mr. Kenehan are wise to the bunch
they are associating with here today.
We wonder if they know that the
old line. Democrats, the old boys who
have fought the losing battles of De-
mocracy in this county for years, men
like O. I. Clark, Lee Easley, Z. G.
Whittlesey, ]. ii. Roberts, F. s. Will
iams and others, have been practical
ly read out of the party by the red
necks who swooped down upon the
assembly last July and designated
candidates. We wonder if Patterson
knows that the men who have loyal
ly supported his beliefs in time past
have had nothing to say about who
should be candidates this year and
that the United Mine Workers lead
ers named the ticket from top to bot
tom.
We wonder II Patterson knows that

WEATHER AND THE WAR.

Wet weather seems to have accom-
panied most Of the big battles in Eu-
'ope, thereby adding to the horrors
of war, which are already too numer-
Gus to mention This has revived the
old time theory, which may also be
a fact, so far as we know, that big
battles are followed by or accompan-
led by rain. In this connection, how
ever, it is well to remember that this
land of peace and plenty has also en-
joyed heavy rains. such as have soak
ed the soldiers along the Marne and
the Aisne. Very likely they would
have had heavy rains there with the
assistance of open hostilties, and the
corps certainly would have Jared bet
ter.
Besides, even il the warning fac
tions are entitled to credit for recent
precipitation, the fact would furnish
little encouragement for conscien-
tious rain makers. The cost of the
war is figured at s55,000,000 a day,
and much of this enormous total is
devoted to high explosives, for muss-
ing up the enemy. If it also disrupts
the atmosphere and changes mcteoro-
logical conditions, producing rain. it
must be apparent that the price is
too high for . drouth-ridden agricul-
sn-a1 community to pay, just as the
price Of warfare is generally too high

TRYING TO BOLSTER.

Henry Clews, regarded as the lead
ing authority on financial affairs, en-
deavors to throw out some hope for
the future, but his last letter shows
that more men are being turned out
of employment and thta money mat
ters are becoming tighter. Oh, yes,
who aided in placing Democrats in
control of the national government
can congratulate themselves-nit
Following is the closing paragraph
of the Clews letter:
Our home trade is far from salts
factory. Contraction of credit has
imposed more restraint upon business
than was really necessary, and any
relief in credit will unquestionably
have helpful effect upon general
trade. Bank clearings are still run
ming about 25@30 per cent below last
year, although this decrease is large
ly due to the closing of the various
exchanges. Nevertheless, the volume
of trade is considerably below nor
NAL Economy is being practiced
not only in business but in many of
the homes and this affects the retail
trades. New enterprises are almost
entirely deferred. In consequence
building is one-third less than year
ago; many undertakings are post
poned, and there is decided falling
off in the demand for labor. The
steel industry, for instance, is run
ming at about so per cent of its full
capacity. A number of hands have
been discharged, and some of the
largest concerns have given notice of
u cut Of 10 per cent in wares. The
industrial outlook for the coming win
ter is certainly anything but encour-
aging On the other hand, the present
situation cannot continue indefinitely.
With reconstruction in the credit po-
sition, confidence will revive. purse
strings will be loosened and industry
