Your letter OF July llth has Just been
forwarded to me here where I am spend
ing my summer vacation, and il the first
word which has reached me in regard
to the decision Of the Supreme Court of
Colorado referred to in your letter.
My office informs me that M vet they
have Seen only newspaper accounts OF
the decision and at once took steps TO
ascertain the facts.
Pending the receipt of this informa-
tion ] can only say that any offcnse.,
no matter by whom committed, which
oould have been justly characterized In
such language as you have quoted would
be quite MS abhorrent TO me ms TO YOU.

1873. He served as territorial delegate
to Congress, was a member of the Forty
fifth Congress, but was defeated for re-
election; was a candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket in 1855, and
was a delegate to most OF the national
Democratic conventions since 1876. He
left the Democratic party in 1892, and
joined the Populist party until 1900. In
1901 he was elected United States SEN
ator from Colorado, serving one term,
and in 1914 was the nominee for govern
or on the Democratic ticket. He was
active in city and state politics Nirtu-
ally since coming to the state IN 1872.
Began Life at Printer.
In his native town, Crawfordsvilie,
Ind. young Patterson learned the print
ers trade and afterward "held clses' for
short time on the old Indianapolis
Journal. 1t was therefore but natural, 4,
when opportunity afforded, that he
should acquire paper of his own. He
made the Rocky Mountain News one of
the best known papers in the country,
and it was financial success under his
control
Mr.. Patterson was a lawyer OF great
ability, in fact had the undisputed title
of being the leading defense attorney in
the West. During his career at the bar
he defended sixty-three charges of first
degree murder and not a single convic-
tion was entered against him
He first gained prominence after com
ing to Denver by giving the political
boss of the town severe licking in n
street fist fight. He was fighter for
the peoples rights all his LIE, and was
proud of the enemies he made in cham
pioniing the cause of the under dog.
Leading Citizens Pay Tribute.
The funeral was held from the late
family home, 1915 Pennsylvania street,
Tuesday afternoon, and was extremely
simple The Rev. DR.. John II. Houghton
of st. Marks read the funeral rites Of
the Episcopal church. Interment was in
Fairmount cemetery.
Senator Patterson leaves one dsugh-
ter, Mrs. Richard Crawford Campbell,
and two grandsons, who will inherit the
entire estate, as it is said the deceased
left no will. Among the valuable busl-
ness property owned by Senator PHtter-
son is the Albany hotel
Many tributes to the character and
useful life Of the late senator have been
paid this week by leading business. la.

L to saw 81 am the one who made
the mistake" when silence or denial
might throw suspicion on someone else.
That's why the president of a great rail
road ssytem has issued an order rein
stating Conductor Thomas Lyman, who
forgot at crucial moment and thereby
caused bad wreck at Petersburg, near
Denver, two weeks ago By the safety
first rules of railroading, Lyman auto
matically detached himself from his job,
but President Nudge, strict discipline
rian tho he is, reached across this barrier
of precedent and gave the order that
restores Conductor Lyman to the liveli-
hood his one mistake in thirty years of
railroad had forfeited. Lyman turned a
switch and sent passenger train crash
ing into freight standing on siding
at Petersburg. Railroad men say it was
miraculous that no lives were lost. Only
three persons We're injured, altho con-
siderable loss of equipment and freight
resulted. Without a moments hesita-
tion Lyman rushed to a telegraph Of
flee and wired the superintendent, Il
alone am to blame" Then he turned to
the task of clearing away the wreckage
so that traffic might continue without
interruption. 1t was his first blunder
after thirty years Of efficient service.
No one will question the business Of
President Mudge's order reinstating Con-
ductor Lyman. Such acts as this go a
long way toward establishing the broth
erhood OF man, and bring home the truth
that railroads are not always soulless
corporations.
All the world mOurns the death OF
James Whitcomb RILEY. the Hoosier poet.
It= of "a
nature and brought cheer and comfort
into the lives of countless thousands.
Untold numbers OF school rooms have
and will continue to echo his poems on
recitation day" Riley told in rhyme
OF the everyday life of the common peo-
pie. and enshrined them with the beau
ties and blessings OF nature. Riley's
poems have a place in every poor mans
library, and his songs are sung by the
children. Indeed, james Whitcomb Riley
was a useful citizen OF the entire civ
ilized world, and has left a heritage in
the hearts of the people that will live
for all time.
Denver Housemaids Union is no more.
1t has blown up. Money contributed
by domestic servants has gone, and there
is an accumulation Of debts mountain
high according to a statement OF one
of the dupes. Five months ago Jane
Street, a travelling organizer" for the
I. w. W, came to Denver and sent out
call "to all oppressed housemaids,"
and the response was very satisfactory"
Money began to come in. Initiation fees
were collected and dues applied. Jane
elected herself presiednt of the union"
and conscripted G. W. Sellers, a workless
l. w. w. dreamer, as her secretary"
Offices were established in the Charles
building, corner OF Fifteenth and Curtis.
1t was converted into an employment
bureau for domestic servants of every
variety. Officers of the Colorado State
Federation of Labor and of the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly went to in
vestigate the Housemaids Union. They
were not permitted to attend meeting.
Jane always met them at the door and
said the "Housemaids Union does not
want to have anything to do with the
trade union movement Of Denver" II

1t is needless to say that We arc
thankful to Mr.. Clint Houston, editor Of
The Denver Labor Bulletin, for the COM
munication that appears below.
That The Bulletin was not mentioned
in Mr.. Doran's address, printed in the
June issue of the Colorado Manufacturer
and Consumer, is regrettable, and all the
more so in view of the splendid work
that has been done by The Bulletin In
forwarding the interests of the Buy
Colorado Made Goods Movement
The Bulletin was mentioned, however,
by Mr.. Doran in his address before the
members, and that the name should have
been omitted in the printed account can
only be laid to neglect on the part Of
someone.
We fully concur in Mr. Houston's re-
marks, and publish his letter in full MS
follows:
Denver, Colo, June 10, 1916.
Mr.. w. j. II. Doran,
President Denver Manufacturers Assn.
Denver, Colo.
Dear Sir-I was somewhat surprised
and the least bit chagrned after reading
your otherwise splendid annual address
published in The Manufacturer and Con-
sumer to discover that you had over
looked, in your various ccmmendaton
of those organizations and papers which
had endorsed and supported the III )mc
Industry Campaign Of the association,
mention either of the Denver Trades and
Labor Assembly or The Denver Labor
Bulletin. Both the Assembly and The
Bulletin, as you have reason to know,
have not only supported you personally,
but have done some real constructive
work. Several who have read the ad-
dress have spoken to me of the above
cited omissions, which / cannot believe
were intentional.
Yours truly,
CLINT G. HOUSTON.

Chief Justice Rugg of the Supreme
Court of the state of Massachusetts, has
handed down decision. holding that the
law passed in 1914 forbidding judges of
the court from issuing injunctions in
labor disputes, unless it was apparent
that irreparable damage would be done,
is Unconstitutional. The power to de-
clare laws unconstitutional was never
conferred upon the judiciary by the CON
stitution of the United States. The ju-
dicial oligarchy has usurped this power
without warrant of law.

The Chicago Tribune laments the fact
that the public spirited gentlemen who
imported from Canada some Oary field
kitchens for the Illinois militia were
unable to secure a remission of the tar
ifi duty and it calls upon Congress "for
the sake of justice and public self
respect" to take appropriate action to
give free entry to such importations pro-
vided by the generosity of private citizens
This raises again the question of whether
the editorial writer's of the Tribune are
jealous of the popularity of p. L. T.'s
witty column, or whether B. L. T. is bur
lesquing the tariff in the editorial col
umns.

The Utah Labor News is the title of
a new publication launched in Salt Lake
City under auspices of the city and state
federated labor bodies. A. F. Moore,
editor. and F. f. Morris, manager, are two
active and well known members of the
Utah labor movement, and will unques-
tionably make success of the venture
The first issue, a copy of which has
reached The Bulletin office. is replete
with bright and newsy articles, local and
general, and contains a generous amount
of advertising matter. We congratulate
the working people of Utah upon at
last having a paper which they can re-
spect and support, which will present
organized labor's cause to the public in
an intelligent manner. We trust the
trade unionists of our sister state will
give the Labor News the support which
the initial number proves is well mer-
tied.

Uncle Sans
Paternalism
ID. p. Saunders in Morgan County
Republican,


Republican,
Two years ago Russian widow liv-
ing in Brush bade good-by to her six
year old son and came to America to
earn money to educate him. The boys
relatives promised to care for him until
the mother earned enough to bring him
to this country.
But the war came; it swept away all
their property and drove them, fugitives,
to Moscow, whence they wrote to the
anxious mother to come and get her boy,
whom they put in an orphan asylum
She did not have the money; she did not
know how to go alone in war time.
Then the man and wife in whose fam
lily the woman worked considered how
to get the boy. They wrote for the
facts to our state department at Wash
ington. The American consul at Moscow
was instructed to try to find the boy
and send him to America
Our consul found the lad, his wife
kindly clothed the little fellow, and with
a good deal of difficulty they got a pass
port from the Russian government. For
tunately, Red Cross nurse was return
ing to America just as the passport was
received; she kindly took the boy in
charge
But he fell sick with measles and she
had to leave him at Christiania, Norway.
There the American consul took him in
charge; his clerk repeatedly visited the
boy in the hospital, and wrote the kind
est possible letter to his mother. When
the boy was able to travel the consul
put him on q steamer bound to New
York, and arranged that he should have
the personal care of steward during
the voyage.
Meanwhile the proper affidavits were
put into the hands of the Commissioner
of Immigration at Ellis Island. An agent
of the steamship line took the boy to
the Boston train and shipped him, prop
erly labeled, Brush, Colorado, the home
of his mother.
A telegram told the mother when to
meet her son at the station and the con-
ductor and passengers, with moist eyes,
witnessed the happy reunion of mother
and son.
What other government than ours
would do so much for poor little for
eign boy in a country at war?
