of of the the =; OF # l. F. e. OF. Of the O. c. and
sional District of the State of Colorado
Dear Sirs and Brothers.: In the approaching
month of November elections will take place
for members of Congress. There has never
been time when labor so vitality inter-
ested in the character of men to compose the
next Congress as in the present and the imme-
date future. Not only the question existent
owing to state of war, but the questions
arising out of the settlement at the close of the
war, must be disposed of by the members of
the next Congress, and it therefore becomes a
question of vital Importance to every man who
works for wage whether not he will be rep
resented by men who have shown intelligent
interest in the laboring man and his cause.
Therefore, it is time to study the records of
those men who have constituted the Houses
and determine whether not that record
demonstrates their friendliness toward us and
their ability and disposition to render efficient
intelligent and trustworthy service in the en-
actment of such Legislation will be necessary
to continue and augment the influence which
we are now able to exercise.
Every man who has demonstrated his con-
staney to labor interests will be subjected to
all forms of opposition and criticism. Every
effort will be made by those inimical to us to
prevent the continuance, if possible, of men
whom they have been unable to influence to
coerce and we of the opinion that the Third
Colorado district will be exception to this
rule.
The Hon Edward Heating of Pueblo has
ueIhonsIraIed InorOly MS consistent friendship
for laborlng men and in the sessions of Con-
gress there has been more consistent friend
to labor than he has proved himself to be; and,
regardless of party utilization or of represen-
tations made to his detriment, we would
strongly commend to the members of these
organizations, resident in that district, the
solid support of Mr.. Heating and his candi-
dacy for reelection because, unless we can
make it apparent that the who give to the
measures in which interested loyal
steadfast aid to receive in return stead
fast support at the polls, will be unable to
maintain in the congressional halls those men
who are disposed to render US the most friendly
service possible.
Commencing this to the careful attention of
every member, we are, Fraternally yours,

Saloons, Babies and Ice

Wherever the government has established a cantonment for
training soldiers it has ordered all saloons closed within a radius Of
FIVE miles of the place. All saloons within half mile of any fort are
closed by the federal authorities. No man in uniform is permitted
to enter a saloon.
That is what the government thinks of the saloons in war time.
The saloon is recognized as a demorahzing agency, destroying the
efficiency of the man power Of the country.
AT the same time, the government is doing everything within its
power to conserve its manhood by an intensive campaign to save the
babies. A special campaign is now being conducted under the d-
rection of the government TO save 100000 babies this year. Every
thing possible is being done to assist and instruct mothers as TO the
care Of their infants that they may grow into manhood and woman
hood to make good the losses due to the war. Nothing is left undone
in this direction.
That is what the government thinks OF babies. The babies are
recognized as the future hope of the nation. They, above everything
else, must have consideration.
Contrast the saloons with the babies, then, as viewed by the gov
eminent. The one is considered a detriment to national efficiency
and is stamped out wherever there is the slightest excuse for doing
so; the other is looked upon as the salvation and hope of the nation
Let us bear this contrast in mind should the ice famine become
so serious that somebody win have to go without.
Let us ask ourselves, who are in need of the ice most, the saloon
where the manhood of the nation is destroyed, or the homes where
milk and other food must be preserved for the babies that are the
hope of the nati0nf
II would be a crime against humanity to continue to furnish the
saloons with ice when private families. particularly families where
there are babies, are made to go without ice

Famous Women
Lady Anne HaIkct.

Lady Anne Halket was a woman of
great learning and a prolific writer
on theological subjects who was born
In 1914. Her father was preceptor
to Charles I. and her mother sub
governess to the Duke OF Gloucester
and Princess Elizabeth. Lady Anne
was carefully educated by her parents
and early in life manifested a lean
ing toward theology. but besides this
her knowledge of surgery was so
great that the most eminent surgeons
in England and on the continent
sought her advice. Being a staunch
royalist her family and her self suf-
fered with the misfortune OF Charles.
In 1856 she married Sir James Hal
ket, whom she bore four children. all
Of whom died in infancy except her
eldest son, Robert. 1t was to him
that she addressed her admirable
tract 'SThe Mothers Will to the I'm
born Child" under the impression
that she should not survive its birth.
During her life time she published
twenty-one volumes and left thirty
six books In manuscript when she
died in 1929.

Today We Celebrate
Anniversary OF Gneist, Instructor of
KafsPF.

Anniversary OF Gneist, Instructor OF
Kaiser.
Although Germans are much given
to the observance of anniversaries. Ii
Is unlikely that the anniversary of Ru
dolph o Gneist, which falls tomor-
row, will be marked by n celebra-
ton. One of the greatest jurists of the
nineteenth century, and during his life
almost universally admired, his works
offend the Teuton sensibilities because
OF the fact that he so frequently held
mp England as a governmental model
for Germans to follow. In his younge
days Rudolph Gneist was one of the
instructors Of Prince William, now
Kaiser Wilhelm III. It Is to be doubted
if Gneist made any profound impress
sion upon the mind of the present
ruler OF the German Empire, for from
his boyhood the Kaiser has been in
clined toward ~autocracy and militar-
ism.
Gneist was born in Berlin Aug. Is,
1916, and died in his native city
twenty-five years ago. He studied
Jurisprudence in Berlin and held sew
eral minor court positions prior to
1850, when he resigned as assistant
Judge of the superior tribunal in or
der to devote his entire time to teach
ing law. His fame In this field led
the first Emperor William to appoint
him instructor in law and jurisprud-
nee to his grandson. For many
years-from 1857 to 1sS4-Gneist was
a member of the Prussian lower house
OF the supreme court of Prussia and a
member of the privy council. In the
Prussian chamber he acted with the
National Liberals and was a constant
advocate of a greater amount OF self
government for the people.
In his appeals for the adoption of
more liberal measures he often held up
England as an example to be emu-
lated. His books deal chiefly with
constitutional law In England and
Germany. He was ennobled by his
former pupil. William H.. soon after
the latteres accession TO the throne in
1888.
