w. Boutwell,, of the Devinne
Press. Mr.. Boutwell, said tonight
that he had deposited the only
existing copy of the interview
with the state department be-
cause he believed the document
rightfully belonged in the govern
ment archives.
The copy consisted Of a section
of sixteen pages of the Century
Magazine for December 1908.
Forty thousand copies of this is
sle of the publication containing
the interview had been printed
by the Devinne Press, said Mr..
Boutwell,, when the publishers of
the magazine ordered the inter-
view "killed." All but one copy
of the magazine subsequently
were destroyed.
"The reference to Roosevelt in
the interview was evidently in
tended to be a graceful compli-
ment TO the then president Of the
United States" said Mr.. Both
well.
The kaiser was quoted by Mr.
Hale as saying that Roosevelt
stood next God. being the great
est man of all time. The Ger
man emperor expressed his will
ingness to "double up" with the
colonel on the task Of running
world politics and he even said
he would be willing to follow Mr.
Roosevelt's leadership becaus e
he admitted that Roosevelt was a
greater man than he"

| The last man in America to
raise Lis voice to criti:ise the
! government in these troubulous
! times is that noted ex-presidens.
Ii he is such great leader an
adviser and such a patriotic citi.
zen why does he not go down and
have a heart to-h heart talk with
the president and his assist
ants? / am sure that they are
courteous enough. and they have
a high enough appreciation of his
position and standing among the
people Of America to give him re
spectful attention. and if his al
vice be worth considering | am
sure that no false pride will cause
them to reject it. Time is not so
long past that the people of this
country have forgotten that this
noted ex-president prosecuted
and tried to imprison for high
treason Mr.. Pulitzer and other
citizens because they criticised
his administration OF this govern
ment in time of peace. How
much more reprehensible, then,
his criticism at this time.
1t is clear to everybody tina
the Republican politicians are tax
ing advantage of the ill-consider-
ed dissentions to rehabilate their
ma ioaal machinery with the hoIe
of riding into power again. While
such men as l have referred to
are producing the camouf1age to
deceive the pe o pie on the outside
the leaders are laying their plans
and selecting the standard bear
ers for the next campaign, indif-
ferent to what may befall our
country in the meantime.
Whether the noted ex-president
or some other man shall be seiec-
ted by the astute ones to lead.the
political fight will be a matter of
indifference to the common herd.
These do their own thinking
They will proceed along the even
tenor of their way. working ard
sacrificing and suff ering for their
country's welfare and glory. do
ing their best to uphold the hands
of those who have the tremcn-
dous task in hand. realizing that
silence is safety, and when the
proper time comes they will set
tie in the proper way with the
loud-mouthed individuals who are
putting gray hairs in the heads
of the managers of our cause and
giving aid and comfort to the en-
envy. ROBERT H. KANE.

Would abolish all Criticism
of the Government
To the Rocky Mountain News.

Your editorial in this mornings
issue, Silen e Is Safety" is
t mely and to the point. But you
did not 20 far enough. You
spoke only to the common herd.
You should have included the
higher ups, the senators and con-
gressmen and politicians whose
loud vaporings these days are dis
gusting all loyal citizens. Posi-
bly, you hate to admit the spur
ious material of which some Of
your idols are made.
The great citizenship of this
country with the exception of a
few notables, are giving their
whole-hearted support to the gov
ernment and the cause. They be
lieve that the men who are at. the
head of the government are well
able to conduct the affairs of the
nation to a successful conclusion.
If they have any suggestions to
make they will make them per-
sonally and quietly, and they are
sure that if they are worthy of
consideration they will receive
consideration.
But the few men to whom your
editorial particularly applies,
whether 50 intended Ur not. be-
cause Of whose personal ambi-
tons, or ovarweenin. pride they
are unable to keep their mouths
shut, as giving more aid and con,
fort to the enemies of freedom
and democracy than all the spies
that kaiser may have placed in
our land.
You we'll say that the enemy
has ears in every part of this
country ready to hear and trans
nit home every word that can be
of value to him. But he does not
need ears in this country to hear
what the senator from Oregon,
or the senator from Nebraska, or
a certain noted ex-president has
to say. They will make them
selves heard even without the aid
of the wireless. II the whispers
of the pro Germans can be heard
and transmitted the loud b. low
ings of the senator from Nebras-
ka can be heard in Berlin with
out scientific tr nsmission And
how his speech must have glad
dened the heart of tn. arch ene-
my of freedom.

DEAR FRIENDS:

Feb. B, 1913
DEAR FRIENDS:
l received the Record about a
week ago and another today and
after reading it and seeing the
letter from Geo. Lawson l thot
| had better write and give an ac
count of myself also. We are, too
busy to v rite sometimes. so when
Cheyenne record., 1918-02-14


we get time we have to write
about three or four and by that
time we are so tired Of writing
that We seek other amusement.
We have excellent times here and
have splendid chow. beds and Of
i ficers, SO, what else could soldier
ask for. Was sorry to hear about
the sickness there, although we
hav been having a slight epidem-
ic of measles here in our section.
You probably know that Mare Is
land is a large Naval and Marine
training station about 25 miles
from San Francisco. and it is not
such a bad place to spend time
altho we could have a better time
in some city if we had our civil
ian suits. We are now in the new
barracks and feel very much at
home with steam heat and cleo
trio lights and every other little
comfort which a person could ex-
pect at a training station. We re.
ceived our first months pay Sat-
urday and got our shore leave
f on two thirty Monday night Of
course a great many went to
Frisco to spend it, and of course
we had a fine time and got back
about IL o'clock Monday night.
Harry Lauder, the great scot, h
comedian, who is known to every
body through his comical scotch
songs. invited the boys of Mare
Island to attend a free entertain
ment at the city hall in Frisco
Sunday afternoon, and of course
ia great many soldiers aad sailors
and marines attended. He tod
a great deal about the. present
conditions of Europe and l think
all felt we'll repaid for the time
and trouble of getting there.
We'll. about our work, we have
revi!le at six thirty and about
three seconds later we get orders
to hit the deck" cr IN 9th, r
words, get up. About ten minutes
later we go out for roll call a. d
then have a little double time al d
swedish which gives US an appe
tite for breakfast. After break
fast we make up our hunks. clean
up the room, straighten up our
lockers. clean up our guns until
there is not a speck of dust or
oil to be seen and then 60 out for
drill and inspection of arms then
we had inspection of quarters and
believe me the deck has to be
clean, not just swept. but scrub
bed. After inspection We drill
until about II a m and then have
school until chow. AT 1:30 we
drill again until 3 80 then we can
wash our clothes and do almost
as we please until 10 o'clock
when our lights go out. We have
been having great deal of swed
ish exercise, which sure builds
muscle and straightens u person
up. We have also been having
bayonet exercises which gets tire
some and makes a person sweat
q little. We will have guard duty
tkis week. and soon go to Rifle
Range do not know when we
will be turned over for duty, but
think before long and then we do
not know where we will go. may
by to-for more training, and
mayby to some place for guard
duty. / think the Marine life is
fine and If was free again and
had my choice l would enlist in
the marines. 1t is not chilly here
except in the morning ard tten
we do not wear coats. We had a
good rain here today. so we did
not drill very much as when it
rains here it is almost impossible
to get out on the drill ground
Well must close as l have sew

HOUSING THE WORKERS.
Before men can do effective
work they must be provided with
something to eat and place to
sleep.
Most people would be willing
to accept that as axiofatic but
apparently there are men con-
nected with the prosecution of
the war who take a different
view.
Shipyards have been construct
ed, great munitions factories
erected and other activies plann-
ed without any arrangements to
house and feed the tens of thou
sands of workmen needed to op-
perate the enterprise. The re
suit is an amazing and. rather
dangerous situation.
President Wilson has at least
been compelled to deal with the
problem and he has asked Con-
gress for one hundred million
dollars to construct houses and
to forward other schemes for re-
lieving the congestion. In one
instance the government will
probably build a branch to conect
with the street car system of a
larger city and thus enable its
employees to get to a section
where houses may be rented for
reasonable piices.
Here in Washington gigantic
boarding houses will be construc-
ted, furnished and operated for
the accumulation of government
clerks In other places small res
licences and apartment houses
will be built and rented to en-
ployees,
Probably the appropriation now
being considered will be found
insufficient. England has already
expended $500. 600. 900 along the
sami lines but the demand is con
stantly increasing.
CONGESTION UNNECESSARY
Much of the congestion could
have been avoided if the war and
navy department had divided
their contracts among the various
sections of the country. The ten
dency has been to concentrate
all war work in the vicinity of
the Atlantic seaports. The cities
affected were already over crowd
ed when we entered the Europ-
can conflict and the conditions
become rapidly worse as an army
Of workers poured in from the
West to handle vast government
Soon men who had
toiled all day in factories were
forced to sleep in boxcars or tents
and to plead for food at eating
places taxed beyond their capac-
ity.
Thousands threw up their jobs
in disgust and returned to their
norne', thus creating a shortage
of labor. Those who remained
found their vitality reduced to a
point where they could not per-
formed a full days work.
Now that the facts have been
placed before Congress we will
act promptly, but it is unfortu-
n lite that a solution of the prob

ago.

The Steel Trusts earnings for
1917 amounted to $544. 600. 600.
of which the national govern
ment will receive in taxes $2l2,
600. 600. leaving a balance for the
owners of the Trust of 1892, GOO,
600.
Before the war, the steel trust
was satisfied with net earnings
of $63. O0o.0 900. Now after pay
ing all taxes, it pockets five
times its peace-times profits.
If the steel trusts were doing
business in England it would he
taxed 80 per cent of the sum buy
which it's war profits. or $385,0 0
600. Thus Uncle Sam loses
Sl73, 600, 900 and the steel trust
gains that sum by our failure to
profit by england's example In
the matter Of financing the war.

BOLSHEVIKI AND DEMO

What is a Bolsheviki? Ameri-

are full Of answers to that quest

ders of public opinion were agreed
that Lenine and Trotsky were
either German tools or hair-brain-
ed fanatics, Now many Of them
have changed front Influenced
no doubt by the attitude of Presi-
dent Wilson who has made it
clear that he is not without con
fidence in the intelligence and
patriotism of the new rulers OF
Russia.
The latest champion of the Bo.-
sheviki to attract public attention
is Colonel W.. B. Thompson,
multimilIionaire who recently re-
turned from Russia where he YVES
engaged in Red Cross work.
The example and efforts If
the Russian democracy are set
