it takes $4,000 jury eighteen minutes
to acquit five miners at Pueblo, how
much will it cost to get jury in Las
Animas county to convict l20 miners.
The Denver News in its Sunday issue
advocated that a general amnesty be
granted to all connected with the strike,
and while this would be the logical
not expect that they will see it that
way While corporation attorneys open
ly state that it is the intention of the
employers Of the state to prosecute all
union men on every excuse, with the in
tention of running all organizations in a
financial sense, we cannot hope for any
thing else than what we get-a ceaseless
procession of fake indictments. Fortu-
nately there is no danger of their get
ting any convictions, but the fact re-
mains that these "indicting spasms- are
still evident and that the same disrepu-
table lawyers are still plying their
ghoulish practices.
Prosperity Awaits Tranquility.
All that is necessary for period of
general prosperity to come TO Colorado
is a better understanding to be arrived
at between capital and labor; and that
understanding must have permanency
and be based on absolute and impartial
Justice The present manner in which
coal mines are being operated is doing
more than anything else to delay the
day when that understanding will be
arrived at. The time will come when
this will be done; then and not until
then will it be impossible for gang
of incompetent mine officials and cold
blooded, INSCRIPTIONS attorneys to cause
trouble so that they can satiate their
appetites for graft.
Had the coal companies who have oper-
ated on the state school lands paid an
honest royalty to the school funds. every
child in this state could have had a
good sound education. and had the off
cials worked honestly in the interest of
the stockholders, they would have al
ways had i good return for every cent
that they invested. 1t may be true that
n few individuals would not today be
rated a millionaires. but how much bet
ter it would have been for the eommun-
ity as a whole
In Northern Coal Fields
From the northern field we get the
same kind OF reports that have been
coming from time to time since the
strike was called off. Certain officials
seem anxious to do all in their power
to create trouble; they never miss an
opportunity OF using all the insulting
and sneering remarks they can find to
any union miner who asks for work
These men are wreaking their petty per
sonal spite on anyone that comes within
the reach OF their foul tongues. Pos
sibly they think that by this they are
serving their employers. but il they do

they ever did anything in his interest.

all in their power to allay the bad feel
ing that has unfortunately existed
Rearing Up a Hocus Pocus

The hoary old chestnut OF using war
scares to take the attention of the peo-
pie from the industrial conditions of the
country is getting a trifle ancient. but
there are quite a few people here who.
are trying to work this hocus pocus
even today. The necessity l.) of rails
ing great standing army is wholly
wrong. What does the United States
want with any 100000 fighting men,
Who does she want to fights Isn't the
struggle for the necessities of life great
enough, and will it make it one whit
the less if you take 400, 900 working men
from the ranks of the producers and
put them in the consuming class for the
rest to feed? 1t must not be forgotten
that soldier has to be fed, and some
one has to feed him, and his keep must
come out of the mouths of the workers:
neither property or property owners will
pay the bills or do any OF the fighting:
they are not built that way
Labor is getting little tired OF being
made a political football of, and if a
fewl OF those transparent politicians
think for one moment that they are
getting away with much by saying that
they are working in the interest of the
working man when putting over some of
their spiteful little tricks, well. they
have a poorer opinion of the brains OF
the average working man than the work
ing man has of their honor and integ-
rity. and God knows that is poor enough

Atlanta 7 Temple Fiourishes

Secretary Treasurer Marks of the At
lanta Labor Temple association has is
sued a glowing report of labor temple
conditions IN that city He says
"The doors were opened three years
ago to the local unions of the city and
practically all of them moved in. Since
that time all the indebtedness against
the property has been liquidated and for
a year it has not owed a penny. During
the three years the association has paid
back to the stockholders IL per cent in
dividends and the property is worth al
most twice the amount paid for it, Dur
ing the coming year it is the intention of
the association to either erect new
building or add to the present structure"

who cast a vote for Thompson l was
much surprised when l read of 800
sleeping men on the Graham & Nor
ton dock being carted to police sta
tons. Not even the most worthless
bum should be molested when asleep,
for surely then they are doing no
harm. Such is the policy of the
Thompson administration. Out of the
300 men carted away l should say
there were 70 per cent who were in
offensive unemployed. They are to
serve sentences for doing nothing.
And this is what the Thompson adj
ministration terms the criminal class.
1t was a great coup of the chief
of police. 1t was an act that was not
equa1ed in the stone ages and sounds
like a tale from Darkest Africa.
Thompson says his and his chiefs
life has been threatened. Let me
state here we get in measure of our
lives what we SOW, and if oppression
and tyranny are what we sow we
must expect like measure, rather
than handclasp and kindness.

If it is constitutional then today there
are at least $4,000 men and women

SINGLE TAXING.-Tho


may be ever so true that increment in
land values are not morally the prop
erty of the landholders and that many
evils result to the rest of the people,
yet what can be done to reduce or
abolish the evil? The one remedy
advanced by single takers is that the
government shauld lay taxes on each
parcel of land sufficient to absorb the
increment. That seems a simple way
for the government to do the won
derful thing that the single takers say
can be done for almost the whole
social fabric. Unfortunately for the
single tax conclusions, the simple lay
ing of big or little taxes on the land
lords will inevitably be followed by
simply transferring the taxes onto
the tenants or the consumers of the
goods produced on said taxed land.
If any one can show how expenses of
any kind can be laid on land in gen
eral and not be transferred to the
consumer of the goods produced he

EXIT SIGNS IN cARS.-Ha

GNl OIOlNO I'm SH6Ss-f1dVlnR
noticed the letter by T. R. B. in The
Public Forum, in which he advises the
elevated roads to place signs on all
stations, would like to make a sug-
gestion regarding signs in the elevat-
ed cars.
On a number of occasions while
riding on the elevated have noticed
passengers, and especially elderly
people, get up in hurry when their
station was called, and not realizing
which end of the car was the exit
would find that they had reached the
front end of the train instead. In
cases of this kind, and no doubt there
are thousands every day on all the
elevated roads, many passengers are
put to great deal of inconvenience
as well as much delay in being car
ried on to the next station. Why
doesn't the company place signs at
each end of cars, indicating which
end is the exit?-P. w. Barclay, Oak

In a Few Years u. 8. Will He Dry

The vote in the house of representa-
tives on the question of national pro-
hibition convinces all fair minded peo-
pie that within few years at the ut
most this country will all be dry. And
why shouldn't it be? For years the op-
ponents of prohibition have said that
1t is one of the best things ever pro-
posed but that it could not be enforced
entire nation.
In measure this is true. However,
the time has now come when the eyes
of the entire nation are turned upon
this question, which after all is the
greatest moral issue in the United
States today. 1t is a moral question
here because we are the greatest ma
ton of drunkards in the world Other
countries have intoxicating beverages
but they are made with smaller per
cent OF intoxicants per gallon and their
people are taught to drink in moder-
alton. In this country our Intoxicating
beverages contain such large per cent
ofintoxicants per gallon that the drink
Ing of them produces seventy-fve per
cent of our criminals. ninety per cent
OF our paupers and forty-two percent
of all the taxes we pay goes to Offset
and pay for the results of the saloon
We hereby begin the advocacy for a
plank In the Republican national plat
form piedging that party to the sub
mission to the people Of the various
states an amendment to the federal
constitution granting national prohi-
bition. We appeal to the Republican
press throughout Colorado to join In
this movement and to the press of the
nation to do likewise We believe the
Republican party can regain the power
in the nation by the insertion of such
plank in its platform and we believe
that the realization of national prohi-
bition would be even greater blessing
to this country and to the world than
the freedom OF the slaves.-Grand Jun
ction Daily News.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-01-21
National Prohibition

The vote in the house of representa-
tives on the prohibition question was.
we believe a surprise to the people of
this country. Hardly anyone thought
that it would poll such vote on the
first ballot ever accorded it in either
of the legislative branches of our gov
ernment The vote can mean but one
thing and that is from now on, prohi-
bitiOn will be national issue We
would not be surprised to see one of
the two political parties put plank
in their platform in 1916 declaring for
nationwide prohibition. Certain it S
that the temperance votes in every dry
state will make the proposition an
issue and the congressional candidates
will be asked whether they will or
will not support a national prohibi-
ton plank If they are successful. Not
only will congressional delegates be
