HEROISM OF
TWO CONVICTS
BROT PARDON

Unconditional pardon was granted
on Wednesday of this week to Walter
Miller and Roy O'Conner. long-teru,
convicts in the penitentiary. by Gov
ernor julius c. Gunter because they
had assisted in the recapture of two
other convicts who recently escaped
from the prison road making camp in
the Paudre river canon thirty-five
miles west of Fort Collins
Miller, who is 90 years of age. had
served six years of twenty-year SEN
tence for murder, and o'Connor, who
is 3S years of age. had served FIVE
years of a twenty-five-year sentence
for a statutory crime.
The two trailed Harry Grant and
Robert Haner, who left the road camp
at night during a snow storm. for
more than a week thru the snow in
the mountains, finally overtaking
them and forcing them to Surrender.
They made their way back to camp
with their captives with great diff
Guilty and turned them over to the
authorities. All OF the men at the
camp were honor bound not to at
tempt to escape and the violation OF
his agreement by Grant and Haner
was vigorously resented by all. Miller
and o'Conner acted with the full con
'ent of the prison authorities in re
capturing the escaped men. whom they
looked upon as offenders against the
entire camp. as well as against the
honor system
The pardons were recommended by
Warden lyman. Miller and O'Connol
were given their freedom on Thurs
lay. as well as a new suit of cloth
ing each and some pin money.

DEALERS ARE MORE LIKE KINGS
THAN OLD KING COAL HIMSELF
Treatment that one consumer
says she got from a coal company
during the time of the alleged short
age is shown by the story told today
by Lucille Faber of $3.50 VincCnnCs
av 1t follows:
Il signed a contract last spring
with the Hartweu Coal Co. in the
Peoples Gas bldg. I didn't go after
them; they sent a man to me and
he told me that if l didn't get a con-
tract l might have to pay a higher
price for my fuel this winter
Under the terms of the contract
I was to get 20 tons of POcahOntas
mine run coal at $46O per ton. got
about 13 tons of this coal up until
last week.
Last Friday l called the offices of
the coal company, told them who I
was and that I had a contract for the
coal The gentleman to whom
talked told me l would be taken care
of and switched me to another clerk.
Il was surprised when this man
claimed they didn't have any POca-
hOntas mine run coal, but they
would sell me some like it for $3.50,
a ton.
"As my contract called for coal at
$3.50 I wouldn't take this, of course.
q had a friend of mine call up a
few minutes later. He asked the coal
company man who answered the
phone if they could sell him some
POcahOntas mine run. They told
him that they would sell all he want
ed for $3.50 a ton.
Then I took hold of the phone
and gave the man a piece of my
mind. I explained that they had just
claimed they were out of this coal.
The man ended the conversation
by promising to get the coal for me

but so has property and the level
ing process has brought the high and
low closer together on one social
plane. Men have been moved down
by war, but not manhood. And
wOmanhOOd is on a higher plane
than ever before. Men who survive
and go home from the trenches when
peace comes will know more about
the divine right of kings and the hui
man rights of men than they did be-
fore. They've had time to think it
all over.
The very fear of war in this COun-
try has increased the importance to
society Of the man who must do the
fighting if war actually comes. See
how those who spurned him in the
business and industrial game now
appeal to him to enlist. To appeal to
his patriotism they must show some
of their own. Any scheme of pre-
paredness must consider healthy,
wholesome manhood, and that
means provision for the birth and
rearing of healthy children under
wholesome surroundings. 1t means
more intelligent attention to moth
arhOOd.
While the nation is in a fever of
preparedness and patriotism labor
may properly take advantage of
the situation and impress upon
the nation the importance of
the conservation of the physical and
mental health of ALL of the people.
If patriotism can be used to good
purpose for the welfare of the work
ing class, why not make the most
Of it?

THE "RENEGADE KING"

Kaiser Wilhelm. addressing the Ger
man veterans of the 1916 Roumahiah
campaign, worked himself up to an un'
usually high pitch of religious fury. AS
the acknowledged vice-regent~o of Coo III
Europe. he poured out all the vials Oh
his wrath on King Ferdinand, men,
her of the royal house of Hohenzollern'
the renegade %ho, at the time wheh
Germany was engaged in "A terrible war
ioined the enemies of the empire.
The kaiser-s righteous anger, how
ever, was tempered with exultation over
the fate that befell King Ferdinand.
The avenging hand of the Judge above
us" he boasted has sealed the tate OF
this ruthless former friend And he
added piously, What the Lord of Hosts
NAV still have in store for us we do
not know. But come what may we are
able confidently to look the world in the
face"
Maybe Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern be-
lieves all that stuff He looks, acts ana
talks like a half-craZy fanatic. But the
rest of the world. outside OF Germany
at least. is more calm and critical.
We are not so sure that the German
victory in Roumania last year was due
solely to Gods championing of Prussian
righteousness and His determination TO
visit lust punishment on a minor Ho.
henzollern who chose to serve the nation
he ruled rather than the Hohenzollern
dynasty We are prone to attribute the
defeat of Roumania less to Jehovahs
alliance with Shrecklichkiet than to
Russian betrayal of Roumania We
know that Russia failed to send big
army to help Ferdinand, as she had
promised We know that that failure
was due to Prussian intrigue and brib'
cry at Petrograd. We know, too, that
today the Roumanian army is lighting
under Ferdinand with spirit that
seems to bespeak anything but despair
under the displeasure of Heaven.
The more we ponder these high mat
ters, the less certain we are that that
epithet rene gade" was properly applied.
II happened that just about the time
the German kaiser was getting his ut
terances off his chest, our government
was revealing the discoveries made by
the American legation when 1t took over
the protection of German interests at
bucharest before the outbreak of war
between Germany and Roumania. The
American representatives found con
cealed in the German legation large
quantity OF high explosives and deadly
microbes, together with documentar!
evidence that the German government
had plotted, while Roumania was stiil
neutral, to use them in blowing up Rou
manian property and spreading disease
among Roumanian cattle.
Kaiser Wilhelm presumably had sane
toned that virtuous and friendly pro
ject. II anybody's renegade, Is II
Ferdinand or Wilhelm?

Many Are Losing Several Pounds
Month.
Fat persons, particularly those from
ten to sixty pounds above normal
weight, will be interested TO learn that
they may reduce their weight witfort
starvation diet or tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by getting plen-
ty OF fresh air, by breathing deeply and
by taking a few drops of oil or korein
four times a day. also in following the
other simple rules that come with the
box.
Oil of korein may be obtained from
any good druggist in capsule form.
Even a few days treatment is likely
to show pleasing reduction in weight.
The step becomes lighter. the flesh more
firm, the skin smoother in appearance;
work seems easier and a more buoyant
efeling takes possession of the whole
body and mind as superfiuous, unheal-

If you are overstout and have tried
various methods of fat reduction in vain

For more than ten years" he said, "a
propaganda has been carried on in this
country, in Japan. and in fact through
out the world for the one and sole pur-
pose of keeping nations of the Far East
and the Far West as far apart as pos
sible: to break up existing treaties and
understanding, to create distrust and
suspicion and unkindiy feeling between
neighbors i'm the east and west. and all
in order that Germany might secure
advantage in the confusion.
THE world was flooded with tales of
Japan's duplicity Have these been borne
out by history? Even now the German
publicity agent whispers first in your
ear and then in mine. To the accom-
paniment of appeals to the human
heart. he tells to me stories OF youi
duplicity, and to you of mine. These
agents have been supp1eu Win uhiiih

In the light of our state Department.

cannot be dismissed lightly. We know

throat of civilization. II is easy to be
