NEUTRALITY.

1t is we'll known that Senator Vardaman has repeatedly stated
his position OF neutrality in the present gubernatorial campaign, yet
in spite of this there has been, and is now, a persistent effort on the
part of the friends of the Lieut.. Governor to tie to the Senator's coat
tail. Through information coming to us from some of his closest
confidential friends, we have taken occasion heretofore to say that
Sen. Vardaman was not supporting the Lieut.. Governor. These
same friends OF the Senator still insist that they were correct and
that his attitude is unchanged. We know of no reason why their
statements should not be accepted as true. There re a few mis-
guided, over-zealous partsans on bothssides of the 1911 campaign
that ever and anon bring Vardamans name into the present contest.
But undoubtedly a n overwhelming majority of the people of the
state have indicated a desire to have this campaign waged on the
issues of 1915 and not those of 1911. The mills cannot grind with
the waters that ART past. The financial stringency forced upon all
of us by the present European war brings home with telling force
the lesson that it il present problems and the future that we must
deal with.
We believe in being just to everybody. W. make these obser-
vations a a matter af justice to Senator Vardaman. Those friends
of his above referred to have stated that he wanted to be left out of
the present contest and his wishes should be complied with.

GOVERNOR BREWERS ON THE HUSTINCS.

Governor Brewer was elected as no other man has ever been to
so important an Office. The people unanimously wanted him and
elected him unanimously. He felt his great responsibility as only a
big man can. He is making his report to those from whom he re-
ceived delegated trust. This is proper. His has been an able ad-
a clean administration. 1t has been one of intense ac-
tivny in correcting evils. He has sought among other things to rid
the state of pirates and buccaneers. He has sought to restore order
in administration of public institutions where he thought disorder
prevailed. In this he succeeded. In all things he has been Just.
Were his nature capable of it his financial independence puts him
far beyond the temptation of graft. Where he has suspected crime
he has sought to punish it. Where he has detected extravaganza he
has corrected it. The laws have been enforced and he has exercised
a wise restraint in the creation of unnecessary laws; a strong admin
istration; a clean administration, and he does well to lay the record
before the people before he lays the burden down.
SO much for his term of power. But having been put at the
head of the people with unique one consent he owes it to the people
to warn them of the future. He would be wanting in gratitude if he
did less than this.
What can be said of those who have opposed him from the first
1t was treason to the people to try to Illustrate the administration
they had decreed. There is not one blot on his administration and
those who would place a blot there ire traitors to the Democratic
party of which he was the ordained leader. The people trusted him
and he is right in standing before them showing how he has kept
that with which they entrusted him. If any man was ever justified
saying have kept the faith, it is Earl Brewer.

HOW TO JUDGE A CANDIDATE.

The surest way to judge any man is by what he does, not by
what he says. No less IN authority than Holy Writ says. by their
fruits shall we know them"
A man that has been connected with the states law making de-
|partment for eight years and made no effort to repeal any suppos-
eddy obnoxious law, must expect to have his sincerity seriously
questioned when heobecomes ciamorous in a political campaign for
the repeal of that Law. ks.
Applying a similar test to the same man the people would be
justified in receiving with contempt his professed virtuous zeal for
the enactment of a law, sanctioned by every standard of christianity
and backed by every altruistic organization in the land, when he has
never by word or deed shown the least inclination to further such a
measure when he was where he could originate legislation.
But little reflection and investigation will show who is exactly
in the attitude we have named in the present state campaign. A
juvenile reformatory can hurt nobody-it may benefit thousands.

Of justice 1 am sure that the officers

"As soon as l learned that this trial
was coming on made careful inquiry
to assure myself that the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company was not par
ticipating in any way in the prosecu-
tion and was assured by Mr.. Welborn
that this was the fact"
Rockefeller offered a lengthy eX-
plantation of the charge that he had
attempted to dictate the text of a let
ter TO be sent by Governor Ammons
of Colorado, TO President Wilson and
the governors of other States, on the
strike situation. The correspondence
on that point, mentioned by Chairman
Walsh, developed through a visit paid
to New York by Major e. J. Boughton,
adjutant general of Colorado he told
the commission.
Major BouPhton never met Rookie
feller, the latter related but did meet
Ivy l.. Lee, publicity agent Of the
Rockefeller interests.
Boughton told Lee. Rockefeller ex-
planned that Governor AmmOns was
anxious to remove certain misunder-
standings spread over the country
about the strike. Lee suggested that
the governor write a letter to Presi-
dent Wilson and another to the gov
ernors of the States. Boughton made
a memorandum of his own views with
the understanding that Lee put them
in form to be submitted later to the
governor. Rockefeller said that he
| (ROckefeller) sent to Lee a rough
statement concerning the Colorado sit
uation he had previously drawn up
with the suggestion that Lee might
find il useful in preparing the draft
for Major Boughton.
Rockefeller said that he personally
| had never seen copy of the draft

I he said. had since assured Lee that
| he went no further with the sugges-
tion and that Governor Ammons never
knew it had been made. Rockefeller
| denied the correspondence he sub
mitted to the commission disclosing
that he withheld information from
the Department of Labor. The de-
partmont asked no information, he
said. He also denied that the cor.
respondence showed he had consid
cred publishing a string of newspa
pers, or that his letters had shOwr
him Indifferent to conditions of suf
fering in Colorado, brought on by th'
strike.
Rockefeller gave TO the commission
a brief summary of all the sugges
tions he said he had made to thu
Colorado Fuel & Iron officials dur
ing the strike. These included sug
gestions for mediation and for arriv
ing at some plan of settlement.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., appearing for the
second time as a witness before the
Federal Commission on Industrial Re-
lations, today entered a categorical
denial of statements regarding his
connection with the Colorado coal
strike made by Chairman Frank
Walsh, of the commission. Rookefel-
Ter submitted a prepared statement
when he was called to the witness
stand He reafiirmed his testimony
before the commission at New York
when he denied he directed the fight
of the coal barons.
"All policies, as well as matters
of detail, were decided upon and car
ried out by the executive officers at
Denver without asking our advice"
said the oil kings son.
Rockefeller denied that cOrrespOn-
dence submitted TO the commission
showed he was directing the fight
against the strikers, as Chairman
Walsh asserted. He repudiated the
allegation that he knew on the ad-
mission of his own agents that the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company con-
trolled prices and fixed the working
conditions at the mines"
He denied further that he exercised
"a personal influence that extended
even to the State House at Denver.
and presumed to dictate letters that
went out to the President of the United
States and to the governors of the
States, over the signature of the gov
ernor of Colorado" This was another
of the charges made by Walsh after
reading the Rockefeller correspon.
deDce submitted to the commission.
Rockefeller turned from the Walsh
charges to answer newspaper state
ments connecting the Rockefeller in
tcrests with the prosecution of John
r. Lawson, executive board member
of the United Mine Workers, who was
recently convicted of murder in the
Colorado courts in connection with
one of the strike riots.
