Another Warning

The recent explosion which rocked
New York's financial center, killing
and injuring several hundred people,
brings vividly to mind the San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles bomb outrages
and the leniency which has been shown
the perpetrators in each case.
In every one OF the bomb explosions
it has been laboring men and women
who were killed
And yet we find organized labor in
Great Britain, in our own country and
in Canada passing resolutions and de-
manding that radical political prison
ers be released and that the various
governments recognize revolutionary
leaders in different parts of the world,
all Of whom if given power would over
throw every vestige of law, order and
property rights in the interest of or
ganized lawlessness.
We think we are safe in this coun-
try and that our industry and wealth
is protected, when all the time we are
allowing yellow journals, yellow poll
ticians, individual destructionests and
every breed of preachers of discomfort
to undermine our public consciousness
with their appeals to class hatred and
revolution.
A sound public consciousness is the
rock foundation upon which our gov
ernment is built If we allow this TO
be undermined our whole government
al structure may crumble when we
least expect it.
In this presidential year. one of the
most important in our history, we wit
ness less interest in the election than
has ever before been manifested.
The New York catastrophe may help
bring the people to their senses.

The Judicial Ticket

Two important offices are to be fill
cd in the judicial line at the election
in November and the voters should be
particularly careful in selecting the
best men for these places. The office
of county judge in Prowers county has
been growing in Importance year by
year and now the judge finds il neces-
sary TO devote his whole time and at
tention to the duties of the position
Judge ]. C. Horn who has filled the
office with fairness. integrity and abil-
ity the past term, is one OF the best
known members OF the local bar,
man Of highest character and fitness
for the position, one in whose hands
the interests Of the widows and or
phans dependent on the probity Of the
probate court are safely confidcd. The
conscientious manner in which he has
presided over the increasing business
Of the court the past term should en-
title him to the hearty support OF the
voters in November.
Another important office in the ju-
dicial line is that Of district attorney
Hon. Joseph W. Hawley has during
the past four years been an efficient
and painstaking official in the large
district composed Of the counties OF
Huerfano, Las Animas. Bent, Baca and
Prowers, and the record of his official
work is one of which he and his friends
may well feel proud. He is nominated

thus see that the crowd that captured

no intention whatever of supporting

Getaway.

Clifford Riley, young man living
near Las Animas boarded Santa Fe
train No. at that station last Thurs
day morning, and when nearing La
Junta produced a 30 revolver and call
ed for ''hands-up" in the passenger
coach. 1t might as well have been one
of the German Big Berthas as far as
the crowd was concerned for it look
ed like one 10 them. He had the pas
sengers march forward one at a time
and deliver up their money and valu-
ables. He was no respeeter of per-
sons or august representatives Of the
law. ms Sheriff Long of Baca county
and democratic candidate for sheriff Of
Prowers county, Phil Goodan, were
among those who contributed willing
ly to his thank Offering. When the
train slowed up in the La Junta yards
he jumped of and started up the
tracks. He was followed by Victor
NJ. Hovis of Lamar and others and
his retreat cut of by Santa Fe de-
tective, Charley Steward, who had
been wired to b. the conductor on the
train. The money ard valuables were
restored to the victims and the young

COLORADO COLLEGES
LOSE MANY TEACHERS
TO OUT-STATE SCHOOLS
Others Receive Offers of Higher Sal
aries-InstitutiOns Seek
More Funds.

More than two hundred teachers
have left Colo. ado'5 state-supported
institutions of higher learning n the
last four years to accept higher sal
aries elsewhere. Approximately half
as many more have received. better
offers but are remaining at their col
Ieges in hope that relief will come.
These AID other statistics compiled
by the State Educational Publicity
Bureau were made public in report
today. SALARY comparisons are made
with institutions in twelve represen-
tative states.
The Colorado Agricultural College
has lost in the last four years 125 men
and women, including faculty members
and other employees, because of its
inability to compete in salary offers
with universities and colleges in other
states and with the wages paid in
other professions. At least ten men
now at the Agricultural College have
received larger offers from other
sources.
Sixty-five professors have left the
University of Colorado since 1916, and
thirty-five others have received offers
of higher salaries in other states. More
than 80 per cent of the faculty mem
bers at the Un.versity are receiving
smaller salaries than the United States
Department of Labor declared to be
living wage.
The State Teachers College at Gree
ley has lost thirty-one teachers during
the period. Twelve others have receiv-
ed offers of from 10 to 30 per cent in
crecses in salaries. Seven instructors
have left the Colorado School of Mines
since 1916.
The Colorado State Normal School
employs thirty teachers. The average
salary is 81 200, or $500 less than the
average in other schools of the same
class in the Rocky Mountain and Mid
die West states. This 81 ZOO now has
n purchasing power of approximately
S765. In spite of this the school has
good teachers, most of whom are stay
ing on the job IN the hope that relief
will come.
The Universities Of Michigan. Cal

other institutions Of sili'-- rank, pay

common purpose. The people were

war. Everyone shouted for the same
grand cause.
