those who want to see Colorado wet
to bring discredit on the present ad-
miistration, and that the members of
this conspiracy are using a few dis
gruntled and disappointed office seek
ers in this state to help bring about
the final overthrow of ''law and order
and prohibition.
The letters that were discovered in
the files in the office at this detective
agency more than sustain that charge.
They show that there is a connecting
link between the United Mine Work
ers' activities against the Carlson ad-
ministration and the federal govern
ment at Washington. Nay, more, they
show that there is some sort Of con-
Meeting link between the democratic
members of the Colorado supreme
court and the United Mine Workers
headquarters. Until the court explains
why this detective could know the con-
tents of that opinion eleven days be-
fore it was announced, and until the
court explains how the detective knew
that the decision was assigned to one
Judge and afterwards he turned it
over to another judge TO write, the
court must rest under the implied
charge that the detective agency was
the connecting link between the court
and the United Mine Workers.
Perhaps this is the reason why the
decision stood five democrats and two
republicans.
If this be the reason, it was nothing
else than a political decision, and ap-
parently the detective agency was the
means through which the decision was
given to the United Mine Workers and
the administration at Washington for
their approval before it was announc-
ed.
1t will be many day before the
democratic members of the Colorado
supreme court explain away the fact
that a detective agency transmitted
the contents Of one of their decisions
to the United Mine Workers eleven
days before the opinion was publicly
announced. 1t will be many days be-
fore the democratic members can ex-
plain why the opinion was held eleven
days, unless it was to get the o. X.
of some one in authority.-Pueblo

The Conspiracy Against the State
Government

In connection with the recent at
nor Carlson, the state militia and also
in connection with the recent opinion
of the supreme court in the Hillyer
matter, there are several things Of in
terest to the people of this state.
The demand by certain people that
Gov. Carlson conducts an investiga-
ton into the affairs of the state mill
tia brought a disclosure that some of
them were not looking for. This in
vestigation revealed the fact that a
detective agency had been employed
the United Mine Workers of America
to disrupt the national guard Of Col
orado, if it could be done. 1t also re-
vealed the fact that the agent of the
detective agency in Denver sent to his
home office in Washington the gist of
the supreme court opinion in the Hill
yer case on August 9Th, when the case
was not announced until August 16.
The investigation also revealed the
fact that the detective agency, through
its Denver office, had made the state
ment that it would get" General
Chase, Governor Carlson and one of
ficer of the United States army, which
officer is supporting the efforts Of
Governor Carlson and General Chase
to rebuild the national guard.
1t also revealed the fact that this
detective agency which was working
for the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, was operating in conjunction with
the detectives of the Federal govern
ment, who, under the present United
States district attorney, were trying
to get a Federal Indictment against
Governor Carlson and General Chase.
The head of the Denver department,
in reporting to the United Mine Work
ers, frankly stated that they were try
ing to indict the three men, not be-
cause they had committed an offense,
but because they were working to re-
organize the Colorado national guard.
The Chieftain has often charged
that there is conspiracy between the
United Mine Workers of America and
certain parts of the federal admins

The premium list of the Prowers
County Fifteenth Annual Fair is now
being circulated and every citizen can
get one by asking most any of the
business houses or writing to the sec
rotary, C. V. Newman.
The grounds are rapidly being put
in line condition, and the race track
will be better than ever. Already the
entries are coming in for the races
at a rapid rate and the best speed pro-
gram ever given in the valley is as
sured.
Every farmer should save some Of
the best samples from his crop for
exhibit at the fair A number of spec
ial premiums for the dry land farmers
are advertised and the dry landers are
promising to put up display that will
make the irrigated farmers extend
themselves.
Prowers county has the best fruit
in the valley this year according to all
reports and this feature of the. dis
plays should be far superior to any
thing shown here in the past as the
later dates of the fair help greatly.
The stock show will also be a spec
ial feature, and as the fair comes at a
time when the farmers are not so
busy, all Of them should make an eff
fort to bring in some Of their finest
stock and have a display that all can
be proud of.
Everything possible is being done to
wake this the biggest fair ever held
in the valley and it only needs the
hearty cooperation of the farmers and
citizens to make this a certainty.

The Lesson of the Amoskeag Shut

The news that the An lskeag Man

its mills from Saturday August IA,
to Tuesday, Sept. Z, was read in this
city with genuine regret.
1t is unfortunate for the big cor

that such a curtailment Of its output
becomes necessary at this time and in
the present condition of affairs in

There is a remedy for this condition
of business, which is universal in this

unfair to its readers and to the good

Chairman Walsh Charged With Delhi
crate Lying BY Governor Carlson


Denver, Aug. Ex-Governor Carlson
yesterday issued another statement
concerning the report of the federal
commission on industrial relations.
The governor, who on the day before
discussed the charges involving the
University of Colorado, in a supple
mentary statement takes up the mon
ey situation in Colorado as reviewed
by the federal commission. Governor
Carlson's statement follows:
"Mr. Walsh with vicious and subtle
cunning is imputing the domination of
Rockefeller to an overwhelming ma
jority of Colorado's citizens. With
the sophistry of the mountebank and
the prestige of federal authority, he
slyly seeks to transfers to our people
the prejudice of the nation against this
man of wealth.
After a series of S1,000,000 opera
bouffe hearings, he would convey to
the nation the idea that the majority
of our citizens who in the last cleo
ton registered their protest against
violence in labor disputes had no
knowledge of the facts or were cor
ruptly influenced,
with such mendacious statements
does he satisfy his publicity lust and
Colorado is still further maligned be-
fore the nation.
"Why does not Walsh tell the peo-
pie of the country that those engaged
in the coal mining and allied industries
are very small part of our popula-

cratic party to power. With 1t came
reduction of the tariff, framed by Os-
car w. Underwood, chairman of the
tional congress, who announced to the
nation that President Wilson, as well
as himself, favored a competitive
tariff, one that would put the Ameri-
can manufacturer and the American
workingman in direct competition with
Europe.
From the moment that idea became
known to the business world there was
a stacking down, a lack of confidence,
shut-downs and curtailments. 1t has
taken place repeatedly in Manches-
ter, as well as other sections of the
country. Today, in this country, what
industries are running are nearly all
filling orders for war material. There
has been tremendous slow down in
domestic business, and had not this
war taken place every man VINO knows
true conditions realizes most forcibly
that we would now be in the throes
Of a severe business depression.
The democratic party, in a vain and
frantic effort to reduce the high cost
of living, has destroyed and crippled
business. The workingmen of Man
chester, New Hampshire and this pa-
tion have the power to bring back
prosperity and good business with
steady employment, but there is only
one way it can be done. That is by
returning the republican party to
power in 1916. The present iniqu,tous
tariff must be repealed and in its
place must be enacted a law which
preserves the American market, which
restores confidence and which gives
protection to the American laborer.
The democratic party has not only
wrecked private business, but it has
almost bankrupted the treasury. ow-
ing to extravagant legislation, to the
fact that its policy caused tremendous
reductions in revenues, the running
expenses are now exceeding by hun
dreds of millions Of dollars the actual
income. All this, Notwithstanding the
fact that the first time in the history
of this government in times of peace,
the present democratic party is the
only one that has ever been compelled
to levy a stamp tax and other addi-
tional tax burdens directly on the
backs Of the people.
/ But right here in Manchester, with
the Amoskeag and with the shoe in
dustries, the voters have an oppor-
itunity to see what stewardship Hollis,
Reed and Stevens rendered for them.
These frequent shut-downs and cur
tailments are the result Of the votes Of
Reed, Hollis, Stevens and the southern
democrats. These three New Hamp-
shire men helped by voice and vote
to put upon the statute books the leg
islation that has closed and curtailed
the manufacturing industries of this
city and state and also the nation.
1t rests in 1916 with the voters Of
New Hampshire and this country
whether or not they desire a contin-
uation Of this policy. There never can
be any improvement as long as the
present tariff law is in force.-Man-
chester Mirror.

ton; that the rest of our people sat in
Judgment and with the problem close
at hand balanced the equities, probed
into every fundamental principle in
volved and then solemnly and over
whelmingly declared indirect opposi-
ton to his lately announced and skill
fully prcss-agented findings?
"Why did he not tell the people of
the nation that Colorado decided
against violence because she is conf
dent in the effectiveness Of the ballot
TO deal with industrial questions, when
enforced by such popular checks as
the recall, the initiative and referen-
dunn, and biennial elections?
by nature a mountebank and SEN
sationalist he did not tell the truth
because the truth concerning Colorado
is not wanted by the yellow press Of
the nation and those anarchistic ele-
ments whom he represents.
There was a further and special
reason why Colorado would not toIer-
ate violence and which Walsh shrewd-
ly concealed. He claims to find
among other things that had the labor
laws of Colorado been enforced, there
would have been no strike and conse-
quent violence.
when in this state he found out
that our mining code had been drafted
by John Lawson and his associates;
that this code of laws is considered
one of the most advanced in the union,
and that any imperfections were due
to those who drafted and sponsored it,.
why has he not told the people Of
the nation that at the time Of the
strike and for six years before, the
United Mine Workers leaders con-
trolled and selected the state enforcing
officials Of Lawson's coal mining code .?
Walsh declares that the check
weighman laws were not enforced, but
he does not state that Mr.. Brake, state
labor commissioner at that time, and
all his deputies were prominent mem
bers Of, or closely affiliated with, the
United Mine Workers, and had full
power end complete authority to en-
force this as well as all other labor
laws.
These were the facts, Mr.. Walsh,
that caused the people Of Colorado to
pronounce against violence and to take
the reins of government from those
then in office and to say, you who
have 50 miserably failed to advance
and protect your own interests with
all that opportunity cannot resort to
violence to cover your own short
comings.'
Both capital and labor have many
who appeal to prejudice. 1t takes a
higher and rarer intelligence to find a
common ground on which both may
live in peace. Walshs strange con-
ception of his duty impelled him to
discard a wonderful opportunity for
constructive work in favor of pro-
gram of false and destructive criti-
cism.
when he was in Colorado, sought
to discuss with him certain features Of
the workmen's compensation and in
dustrial commission act then being
drafted to eliminate the cause of in
dustrial unrest and which was subse-
quently passed by the last Legislature
To my complete astonishment he was
totally barren of ideas or facts con
cerning this kind of legislation.
"Messrs. Weinstock and Commons OF
the commission gave US the benefit OF
their experience and study, and il
Walsh had done likewise, he might be
regarded today as a benefactor Of
Colorado instead of her traducer."

WOMAN AND THE WAR.

After the outbreak of the great
var tho march of feminism seemed to
ba1t in the presence of the inescap-
.hle fact that the women who were
c1a moring to stand shoulder to Shout
der with men in every walk OF lie
could not go on the firing line. Later
II was recalled that there had been
work for women away from the firing
linz in all wars. and it was perceived
that the possibility Of useful feminine
activity in war had greatly increased
under modern conditions.
From the outset women began 10
take I'D the ordinary Industrial labors
of men who had gone to the front.
One read not only Of women harvest
GRO in the country, but OF women In
many of the employments Of men in
the towns, such as conductors Of auto
buses and other puIlic carriers, in all
the countries at war Even from Tur-
kew land of yelled and secluded WON
on. came the news that girls with
recklessly uncovered faces were serv-
| ing AZ telephone operators in the vari-
ous exchanges. Later it became known
! that women were actively engaged In
MANY oDerations directly connected
with the business of war. Now, it is
asserted half million German wom-
en- are employed in the manufacture
of munitions According to the cabled
words of Lloyd-George, no less than
! fifty thousand women are engaged in
| the same business in England and ten
| times as many in France. Indeed the
finest work connected with the manu-
! facture of shells, the making of fuses,
| is said to be done by women In
France.
In consequence some observers are
now contending that, instead OF halt
| ing the war has really forwarded the
woman's movement. This seemed to
be clearly demonstrated by the recent
parade Of women in London and the
character of the address of Lloyd

mite.
The bulletin on the jigger, which
has served to divert attention in off,

war in Europe and the fact that the
income tax is overdue, warns against
confusing this harvest mite with the
'itch mite" which has been with the
human race since the beginning Of
history: or the STRAW mite" which,
the hospital sevice says, has been
