WE TOLD YOU so.

"That sin will out" is an old prov
erb. But it does seem that the Di-
vine Providence ultimately brings to
light the real character Of men in
very peculiar ways. When a man
has by political trickery and shrewd
maneuver reached the top of human
society whether in church or state,
who is at the same time void of true
Christian virtue and these higher
moral principles essential to real
leadership. In fine, when a man
who is hypocrite, by some irony of
fate, is rushed into prominence, if you
will give him time he will break his
own neck. The poison that is mate
the germ Of smallpox, break forth in
to external corruption where every
body can truly Judge of internal life.
But God does not always bring his
exposures through the channels look
ed for, but often in altogether unex-
pected ways. If reports are true,
some men who have sailed mighty
high in the church world who have
arrogated to themselves exclusive
ness of Dictators in things Baptistic,
are to be disgraced through the medi-
UNI of secret Society. If you will
hold your ear close to the ground
you will heaar the rumbling in the
Pythian ranks of Arkansas that are
destined to bring to light some as
founding facts and pull the sheep
clothing off the grating human pi-
rates, who by reason Of their hypoc-
risy have had their poisonous fangs
buried deep in the public confidence

By w. r. CHAPMAN
Secretary Chamber of Commerce.

Trinidad, the county seat of Las
Animas county, has a population of
about $4,000, and is the fourth city in
size in Colorado.
1t is primarily a business city, but
possesses to rare degree the Won
derful advantages of climate that has
made the state of Colorado famous all
over the world.
In Las Animas county and within a
radius of thirty miles of Trinidad, is
located the greatest coal and coking
belt of the West. Six million tons of
highest grade of bituminous coal is
mined annually, and one million tons
of coke is manufactured each year.
Many of the mines are large and have
the most modern equipment. The
county contains six hundred square
miles of coal land.
One of the essentials to any pros
porous community is an abundance of
power at reasonable rates, and in this
respect Trinidad and Las Animas
county are well equipped. Fuel for
the generation of power is easily OBJ
tainable and cheaply purchased, and
owing to these favorable conditions,
and the well developed efficiency and
economy of the central station indus
try, the corporation manufacturing the
power is enabled to sell it back to the
coal mines for the operation of their
mining machinery. At first glance this
might seem paradoXial, but due to the
extremely low rates, the mining COM
panies can utilize this power for the

JAPAN LABOR IS
FACING DISASTER
LABORERS' FRIENDLY So
CIETY BLACKLISTED.
Factory Conditions Deplorable arl
Revolutionary Agitation Started
Young Girls Lose Health and
Character in Big Workshops.

Benji Suzuki, organizer and presi-
dent of the Laborers Friendly Society
| of Japan, was prominent among the
guests of the last two conventions of
the A. F. of L. While trying to in
duce the American workers, last fall,
to send fraternal delegates to Japan
to the annual convention of his young
organization, Suzuki arranged a din
ner at the imperial Japanese embassy
in Washington, at which the delegates
to the Baltimore convention from Cali
fornia were guests.
Now comes word that suzuki, whose
society-to quote an article in the New
York Evening Post by Professor Isoh
Abe-'ls by no means labor union
in the proper sense, because it has
neither a strike fund nor a mutual
insurance system" is in trouble with
the employers. They have begun
blacklisting and locking out all of the
Friendly Society members, and as it
is illegal to go on strike in democrat
ic" Japan, his 10000 members appear
to be threatened with disaster. The
only real labor union to get a foot
hold in Japan was suppressed some
eight years ago, and S. Katayama, its
leader, was driven into exile in San
Francisco.
Factory Conditions Bad.
Japanese factory conditions, as af-
fecting women, are described in
Japanese government report of 1918
thus: "The factory girls in the coun-
try are about 100000 in number, of
whom 100000 are under twenty years
of age. Four fifths of them work in
textile factories, and 10 per cent of
them live in dormitories. AS they
work in insanitary factories, their
health is something deplorable. AS
each bed in the dormitories is used by
two girls alternately day and night,
it becomes medium for spreading tu-
berculosis. The girls who come to
the factories from the country districts
every year number about 100000, of
which $4,000 return home, while the
tories, settle themselves at last in the
ill-famed houses. OF the $4,000 girls
who return home, 1900 suffer from
several diseases and 10000 of them
from tuberculosis.
Professor Abe explains the very in
adequate "labor law" which has been
enacted, and says: eve can see that
women and children are not fully pro-
tected from the evil of long working
hours. 1t is an undisputed fact that
young girls are losing health as well

Agitation Started.
Conditions among the men employed
in the industries are hardly better than
among the women. Employers are as
hoggish as ever they were in England
or the United States. Recent events
especially the Russian revolution,
according to men who have just come
to Washington from the Orient-have
stirred up a strong revolutionary agi-
tation in the industrial towns. 1t
takes a political turn because trade
union activity is suppressed. Instead
of smashing the factory conditions it
may upset the throne. This is the
secret of Premier Terauchi's recent
loud announcement that "The throne
will remain forever"
The industrial earthquake season
has begun-in Japan.

DEVELOPMENT of the mines at appre-
ciable profit, and today 80 per cent
of the coal mines in Huerfano and
Las Animas counties in Colorado, and
Colfax county in New Mexico, is mined
with power furnished by the local
company. 1t is only a question of
time until practically all coal mined
will be mined in this manner.
The effect of these conditions is to
economic the power available for 9TH
er purposes, and makes this district
particularly attractive to manufactur-
ing industries of all kinds, in fact it
is noticeable that power can be sup
piled as cheaply in the Trinidad dis
trict as in many communities where
water power plants are located.
The fexibility, ease and general sat
isfaction of utilizing electric power is
too well known to require discussion,
and the small investment necessary to
take advantage of electric service
should be an added inducement to the
manufacturer.
There are in the county extensive
agricultural interests. More than one
hundred acres of land are at present
under irrigation systems, and there is
vast territory that is being farmed
without irrigation. The soil is Won
derfully fertile. The average rainfall
is about sixteen inches. Near the city
on the low lands along the Picketwire
