 to the motion for a change of venue.
 Now the miners ccntended thq: il was impossible for g miners union official to secure fair trial or ac- count of the manner in which the companies controlled the jurors who depended directly or indirectly upon them for an existence.
 But that argument has more to u than merely that which this change of venue which the miners asker r..: would suggest.
 Tn those counties complaints were 1na1e against detectives anJ gum men charging them with murder ard other offenses. They aai:,'t f": no change of vcaue. They weie only too glad to accept trial f'y jurors controlled directly or indi- rectly by the companies, which had also employed them and in whose in- terest the crimes had been com- mitted.
 The trials of these detectives re- suited in acquittal as might have been expected and hence no such thing as a fair trial, it is right to say, had been given them.
 .The economic power of employing corporations is nowhere seen more clearly than in Colorado. Nowhere is the menace of such a power to democracy more clearly seen, ana when it actually affects trial by jury, it is about time that the peo- pie sat up and took notice.
 Trial by jury is regarded as one of the bulwarks of human freedom. Every one insists upon getting ano everyone insists upon giving fair trial. If a fair trial is not assured; if economic power Is so great, If the might of the corporations can se- cure control of the jurors, manifest ly everyone is literally and truly al bthe. mercy of those corporations. Ea This condition Is much more gen. erai than people think. It is one that is regarded with unceasing and Increasing alarm by the workers They know and feel that in many cases where labor and capital ar' involved they will get the worst o 1t. This condition is benumbfng thu nerve of the people to insist upor their rights, and 1t is preventing many an official from doing hi duty.
 When men fear the power of th' corporations and that fear becomes the constant accompaniment of th' discharge of their duties, then it' goodbye freedom.
 And no man durst make hin afraid. That's how one of thu clauses of the Magma Charta con cludes speaking of the rightsSof free men. \
 When men or corporatioM contro absolutely the means whereby othe1 men live, dominate their industria lives completely, it is a positive cer tainty they will dominate their poll tical and social lives as we'll Prac

tically the entire psychological basis of human domination is founded upon the ability of rulers or ruling classes to make men afraid". And in this it is equally immaterial whether those who do so dominate and do so terrorize are Kings or
 Aaisers, Tzars or industrial corpo- rations The means are the same and the results also.

Thrift is now the subject of dis course by many high and mighty industrial and financial potentate in free America One banker draws attention to the fact that ninety per cent are living up to their incomes and if their jobs cease they arc de- stitute. Another draws attention to the fact that the savings banks do not show a sufficiency on deposit and declares that the amount should be doubled.
 Anoher New York banker, says that labor must be prepared to live more economically and accept a lower standard of living as inevit- able. Wages he preached will have to be lower after the war in order to compete with European industry. All of these persons preach tho same sermon in different words. Lower standards of living, thrift, lower wages, all mean the same thing in the capitalist mind. If workers can be brought to live upon the smell of an oil rag, they will be so recompensed.
 The wages paid will be such a standard as men can live upon and Inc more, possibly under the duress of competition somewhat less. I The trouble is just now that the workers do not get enough; they haven't high enough standards oi living. They do not eat enough porterhouse and pork tenderfoir and drink enough choice wines. They }do not smoke high enough grades of tobacco and cigars, the! haven't enough luxuries. The! have not enough leisure. Thell 'lstandard is altogether too low. Th' I higher they set their standard O. living the higher will the wages b. paid and there is no reason wh! those who produce all wealtl shouldn't have the best of every thing.
 Thrift is we'll enough for million aires. But the system that breaches thrift to hundreds on the borderlin' of starvation is a mockery, delu sior and snare.
 I, 1f Ia ahnr m may not be in sight. But the loftie they are, the surer and the soone they will be seen to cheer thos' struggling along.

This Is a mighty old world. Scien- lists say now that America was set tied by primitive man long before they put in an appearance in any other section of the globe. They don't except evcn the Gardcp of Eden, which Is a very distressing thing. But what they go on Is not tradi- ton but the evidences of life that proceed away back of the tradition and written pages.
 It Is interesting to speculate upon the rejuvenation of the American continent by people who have estab- lished the very latest in art and science and sometimes in music and literature, and to ponder on the Iy- gone days when the earth as far as humanity is concerned was young indeed, and cur ancestors ate raw meat and lived close to nature anu brutality.
 Those were hard times for human beings Unable to control the cruel forces of nature, men were subjected to all kinds of hardships and suffer- ing But it was a hardship that chastened and ( suffering that made for progress. Ut quickened the wits I and the minds and the endurance of men to dare and do. In a world red in tooth and claw, human beings discovered that only through collec- tive action, through mutual aid aad cooperation could they hope to sur vive. bl Ft f"
 Scientific men have dwelt only on one phase of human evolution and the expression survival of the fitt- est has been heard on the lips of every rapacious mortal. But it was not the "fittest" man that survived or caused the race to survive. It was the collective efficiency of the race acting with mutual cooperation that enabled it to overcome every obstacle.
 Moreover our progress along the lines of human development is due to that mutual aid and co-opera- ton. Collective production has been responsible for the trfumphs of ma chine oduction-renders it possible and has resulted in modern industry being able to produce more then is needed to satisfy human wants uh- der a proper system or distribution, thus making Malthusian laws mean- ingless.
 It wasn't the strong savage that survived and increased and multi piled It was the tribe strong in tri- bal unity, well developed in its system of mutual aid and co-opera- tion that crushed the savage whose hand was against everyone and who was law unto himself.
 The history of these strong men depending upon their own individ- uality to control the rest, is story of blood and tears. For always be- hind tyranny lurked revolt and as- scssination.
 Doubtless if we were more fla miliar with our ancestors of re- moter epochs the evidences on this head which we could collect would be even more overwhelming than they are. But they are overwhelm- ing enough to teach us lesson right today if we only heed the instruc- tion. Still today national effici- ency depends upon contented peo- pie cooperating with one another tc secure the general happiness. wye
