William Carlisle, the noted
bandit who escaped from the Wy
oming penitentiary and evaded his
pursuers for two weeks, was fin
ally captured Tuesday near Glen
do, Wyo. Carlisle's arrest was on
ly a matter of time, despite the
efforts of friends who sheltered
and protected him. The strong
arm of the law has become so cer-
tain that wrongdoers cannot evade
justice for long. 1t is a strange
thing that invariably happens in
the career of any outlaw that
eventually leads to their capture
some little detail that is over
looked by them, that seals their
fate. This was the case with
Carlisle. Altho he practiced time
and again to be quick in the draw
ing of his trusty revolvers so that
they might serve him in resisting
arrest, at the time the officers
surprised him in the isolated cab
in of friend, he did not have his
guns on him and had to go into
an adjoining room for them. This
gave his pursuers the drop on him
and he was shot thru the lung be-
fore he could reach the weapons.

RED CROSS NOTES

Workers of the American Red
Cross and the American people
are urged to cooperate in the nat
ional and state campaign now be-
ing conducted to raise funds for
anti-tuberculos work, in a state
ment which has been issued by
DR.. Livingston Farrand, chairman
of the American Red Cross.
DR.. Farrand, who was formerly
director of the Colorado Public
Health association which is rails
ing $150,000 for health work in
this state by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals and Health Bonds
has always been particularly in
terested in the national effort
which is being made to wipe out
tuberculosis.
"The success of the effort which
is being made by the National
tuberculosis association and its
affiliated branches such as the
Colorado Public Health associa-
tion, for the sale of Christmas
seals during the coming holiday
season is indispensable for the
far-reaching plans of the associa-
tion in it's fight against tubercu-
losis in this country" states DR..
Farrand.
The American people in COM
mon with the nations of Europe
are becoming aroused to the criti-
cal Importance of the problem of
vitality and conservation of
health as the necessary factor in
reestablishing the world after the
devastation and destruction caus-
ed by war.
"Of all the preventable diseas-
es, tuberculosis takes perhaps the
first place in Importance. For that
reason l view with keenest SYM
pathy and approval the splendid
work which the National Tuber-
culosis association and its branch
es is conducting and l trust that
the response of the American peo-
pie in the Christmas seal cam
paign will be generous and uni
versal."

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The constitution of the state of
Colorado, and also the constitu-
tion of the United States guaran-
tees to the people and the press,
freedom of speech, and also pro-
vides a method by which the peo-
pie may change their constitution
or form of government. Any body
of citizens who believe that
changes should be made in our
form of government or laws have
right to meet and advocate that
those changes should be made,
peaceably and in accordance with
with law. And no body of men,
be they private citizens or govern
ment officials, have the authority
to interfere with the people in the
exercise of that right. Those who
do so interfere are substituting
mob rule for law.
We read almost daily in the
press that mobs are breaking up
and preventing meetings of the
people on the ground that they
are being held for reasonable
purposes.
What law gives an irresponsi-
BILE mob the right to decide wheth-
er a meeting is held for lawful
or unlawful purposes?
If we have traitors in our midst
they should be dealt with in a
legal manner, by the constituted
authorities.
1t is an undisputed maxim of
law that those who are charged
with crime are presumed to be in
nocent until they are proven
guilty.
Any proposed radical change
should be fully discussed and con-
sidered before it is enacted into
law.
Because a change is supported
by minority is no proof that it
is wrong.
Every reform has always been
opposed by a majority in the be-
ginning.
Our constitution guarantees
equal protection to all, but what
protection does weak minority
have if lawless mobs are allowed
to interfere with their right of
free speech?
All laws should be enforced or
repealed and all lawlessness
should be suppressed without fear
or favor.
If our officials cannot or will
not enforce the law they should
step aside and make room for 9TH
ers who can and will.

We fail to see the consistency
of the opposition in certain politi-
cal quarters to the senatorial as
pirations of Karl C. Schuyler on
the grounds that he is identified
with the big oil interests. Why
should we be opposed to the plan
to send an oil man to Washington,
when we favored the steel inter-
ests with representative in the
senate in the person of Mr..
Phipps and til, smelter trust by
Mr.. Caggenhei:-l? We should not
show partially in the selection of
our senator's and if the oil crowd
needs one of their members in the
U. S. senate (and no doubt they
do) let's let them have one. It
may be that in the course of time
the coal operators will feel that
they need one of their bunch in
the senate and who would say, in
view of the benevolent considera-
tion they have always shown the
poor consumer, that they should
not have one of their clan at
Washington to look after their in
tCrests?
