Learned Lesson

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jan. g.
To the Editor Of The Bee: Very much
has been said in eastern papers rejecting
upon Colorado. but as time goes on Il he
comes more and more clear that the ma
jority Of the articles have been mislead-
Ing and one-slded. Nothing could be a
greater indication of this than the result
of the recent election. In which there was
very distinct contest between elements
that have made for lawlessness and those
that have aided in the protection of the
real laboring people. The calling off of
the strike has brought much satisfaction
to practically every employe who cares
for his own interests and also to those in
terested I'm the business life and integrity
of this region.
IL is a very subtle and critical contest
which has taken place, with a variety Of
motives behind It, Some politicians have
attempted 20 use Il for selfish purposes
comparatively few labor leaders have
sought TO engineer it for ends really not
for the best good of organized labor
Probably lessons have been learned for
all sides
Colorado at heart is fine state with
largely native American population
deeply interested in the creation of the
best types Of citizenship. Few states have
as good public school system, and it is
exceedingly fortunate that the state has
not been injured by multiplicity OF small
colleges. One institution like Colorado
college. the first founded In this whole
region, has done more to lay permanent
foundations than most of the colleges OF
its type In the country The state institu-
tons are rendering valuable service and
the state university has recently called to
its head a man OF leadership in scientific
and educational work.
While business has been much depressed
by strike conditions and of late by war
in Europe. yet the state has valuable UNI
developed resources In agriculture as well
as in mining, and distinctly better days
are ahead. COLORADO.

Pipinr Oil from Wxnminp.

Again We hear OF a pipe line from the
Wyoming oil fields to connect with the Missouri
river at Omaha. Whether the project has more
substantial support than In the past can not be
said just now but the question OF its feasibility
was long ago affirmatively determined. Its de-
STABILITY is equally we'll established. The Ad-
vantages OF such a line to Omaha are so APP
parent as TO need little comment. Omaha is
very well located too a point for refining
the oil now flowing in wyoming The pipe line
on the riyer-bed grade means that the cost of
transportation from the fields TO the refinery
would be put al a minimum, while the extensive
and steadily expanding market for oil and the
products or oil, contiguous to Omaha. means
stable demand for the output Of the refinery.
The project for q pipe line from the Casper
region to deliver oil at Omaha for refining. has
long been mooted; now is a very good time to
press for action along this line.

Engineer Takes Issue with Governor
NORTH LOUP, Heb., Jan. Ito the
Editor OF the Bee: In reading Governor
Morehead's recent message TO the legis-
lature We notice that he advises to men,
orialize congress for assistance to make
surveys Of our rivers, saying also that
the army has the most able corps OF en-
gineers In the world, with roses to
Goethols. He puts up the same old
slogan We have heard for years-that
water power will cost millions. VIII the

OMAHA, Jan. Ito the Editor of The
Bee: The coming of Billy Sunday into
