Mystery Dccpens in Dick Murder,
The Alamosa Empire says: The
assassination of Captain Dick at Wal

ing as to bewider and BATTLE the
strongest of men, and it is doubtful
if this crime has fallen more heavily
upon any of the victims friends than
upon ID. w. Kirkpatrick, manager of
the San Luis Valley Mercantile COM
pany at Alamosa, who had been in
timately associated with Captain Dick
in business for several years Mr..
Kirkpatrick is 10th to believe that
any human being who knew Captain
Dick could kill him out of revenge
or as an act following in any posi-
BILE connection with the recent strike
troubles at Walsenburg, as Captain
Dick had run union mine, paying
good wages and treating his employees
literally in every way. He had ex-
pended a quarter of million dollars
in the development of his coal mines,
vastly more than he had ever been
able to take out. Captain Dick leaves
a wife and five children to mourn his
loss. Thousands, representing all
classes, attended the funeral ceremon-
les and it was evident in their faces
that there were many sorely aggriev-
ed friends in each class.

Two facts which were established
last week in Washington caused many
an inclination to shout "Glory be-
They were: The ship purchase bill
is dead, and, second, there will be
no extra session Of the new congress.
The information was authoritative,
and Indicative of final yielding by
the president to the representations
OF some Of the numerous so-called
party leaders The demand that con-
Rrcss adjourn and give the country a
rest was far stronger than the de-
mand for the passage Of the ship pur-
chase bill. The president is said to
have come to realize the situation
throughout the country and he will,
no doubt, take the first opportunity to
make his tour to the Pacific coast and
back. speaking along the route both
ways IN an endeavor to prepare for
the big battle OF 1916. The Republic
cans win be blamed for the defeat of
the ship purchase legislation, a re-
sponsibility which they will gladly ac-
cept for purposes Of political argu-
ment and as an issue in the cam
paigu. However, prosperity and the
tariff, it has been generally agreed
among Republicans, will be the real
issues on which the battle will wage,
and these are issues upon which most
Of their victories have been won.

Speaking of the latest race war in
New Madrid county, Missouri, the st.
Louis Globe-Dcmocra says: "The sit
uatioh is unusual There seems to
have been none of the usual provoca-
tons. No irresponsible member of
either race has committed crime to
stire the members Of the other. There
is no claim that the negroes who have
been ordered 70 leave the county have
violated any law. II is not even
that they are lazy and shift
less parasites, living off the commun-
ity The very contrary seems to be
true. 1t is because they have been
Industrious and frugal that they have
aroused hostility. There was some
thing Of this economic jealousy in the.
fight California people made on the
Japanese fruit farmers But the anti
Japanese attitude Of California, provo
cative as II has been Of international
complications, is more justihable than
the course or the faction In New Mad
rid county toward negro farm ten
ants. The negroes are native Ameri-
can citizens, clothed legally with all
the rights Of other citizens. There is
no evidence that they have interfered
with the whites II any manner. They
appear 70 have been law-abiding,
peaceful, industrious and frugal citi-
zens. That they have attended so well
to their lawful pursuits seems to be
the only source of their offending.
Even II majority Of the citizens of
the county are against the night rid
ers and are willing to offer their SER
vices 10 protect the inalienable rights
OF the negroes. the sheriff did well
