PRESIDENT WILSON AND
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Has President Wilson blunder-
ed and will that blunder turn the
victory of which his party dream
ed into defeat at the approaching
election? Only few days be-
fore the San Francisco convention
the president gave an interview
to the New York World in which
he stated in so many words that
he would make no attempt to con-
troll the convention, either as to
the candidate it should nominate
or the platform it should adopt
or interfere in any other way in
its deliberation. In view of recent
events we know that these state
ments were untrue; that Presi-
dent wilson at the time he made
them had his plans all laid to con-
troll and dominate the convention.
The Republican convention was
a cut and dried affair but they
were more diplomatic in the use
of their power than the Wilson
forces. The Republicans allowed
Borah and Johnson to bluff them
and change their position in two
instances, but the Wilson forces
are riding rough-shod over all op-
position. The Watson delegation,
about whose election there was no
question, were unseated for no
other reason except that Watson
had failed to show proper respect
for Wilson in his Georgia cam
paign. Senator Reed, of Missouri,
who was fairly elected as a dis
trict delegate from Missouri, was
turned down because he opposed
the president on the League of Ma
tions. 1t is true that the action
of the Missouri state convention
may be pleaded in justification of
this act, but the fact remains that
Reed was robbed of a seat in the
convention to satisfy the whim
of a sick man.
If there is man in the United
States to whom Woodrow Wilson
owes lasting debt of gratitude.
that man is w. J. Bryan. Wilson
would not have received the NOM
ination in 1912 had not Bryan de-
serted Clark, for whom he was in
structed, and gone over to the
Wilson forces. But Bryan has
been guilty of "lese majesty" He
has dared to hold and advocate
views which are in conflict with
the views of President Wilson,
and must suffer the penalty of
such disloyal conduct by being ig-

LONELY EMMA

Emma Goldman's sad and lone

and she sighs, "Ah me, if only l
could see the States once more!"
In recent dismal letter she COM
planned of her distress, and her
furrowed checks grow wetter
with her scalding tears, | guess.
By her friends she seems forsak-
en-, no one writes to her, says she;
and she eats her bread and bacon,
weeping by weeping sea. By
the ocean wet and clammy she sits
down to sigh and yearn, wishing
that her Uncle Sammy would per-
NIT her to return. When she lived
beneath his banner she was boost
ing every crime, acting in beast
ly manner, raising thunder all the
time. Absence makes the heart
grow fonder, as the dippy poet
raved, and old Emma, over yonder,
doubtless wishes she'd behaved.
For this country is the slickest
that was ever out of doors, and
that person is the sickest who is
banished from it's shores. And
the folks who grumble, grumble,
at our bulwarks every day, should
get wise and take a tumble to the

You Must Sell Yourself

Life is a selling problem" that
is all;
And every man is his own line
of goods;
And what the price is, big or very
small,
Is simply up to him. For tho
the woods
Are full of buyers for his sort of
stock
He's got to learn the way to sell
himself
Or he'll discover with cruel
shock
That he's a marked-down rem
nant on the shelf.
So to begin with he must try to be
An article of value, sound and
fair;
For if he isn't-take this straight
from me-
He'll find the market sluggish
everywhere.
But, having worth, he must let the
buyers know
He's on the market to supply
their need.
He's got to learn to make his val
ue show
So plainly that whoever runs
may read.
That doesn't mean that he must
boast and shout
His own high quality, but it
does mean
That he must make it clear be-
yond doubt
By pep and push that he is on
the scene.
He mustn't miss chance to prove
his worth
And make his merit patent to
mems eyes;
The chaps who get the highest
price on earth
Are those who have the goods
and advertise.
So watch your opportunities, and
dwell
Upon your job your whole ex-
istence thru,
Yourself is all the goods you have
to sell
And what you get is wholly up
to you.

PRIVATE MONOPOLY

Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none," is the founda-
tion upon which all true jefferson
Democracy must rest. 1t is a
trite saying and every person you
meet will tell you that he believes
in that doctrine. But it is doubt
full whether all those who pro-
claim their belief in the doctrine,
realize how much of meaning is
contained in that short sentence.
Every private monopoly regard
less of the manner in which it
may have been acquired, is enjoy
ing a special privilege. Many be-
lieve that the only way to end
private monopoly is thru govern
ment ownership of public utili-
ties. Others advocate that priv
ate monopoly of public utilities
should be under strict control of
the government Those who ad-
vocate this remedy can not truth
fully say that they are opposed to
special privilege. On the contrary
they are in favor of special priv
ilege and believe that those who
have these privileges should op-
crate them under government con-
troll.
The big interests no longer OBJ
ject to a man who favors govern
mental control. Their purse
strings are open to him if he is
an influential politician and is
worth the price. The only man
they object to is the man who ad-
vocates government ownership, as
that would deprive them of their
special privileges.
About the only big monopoly
left in the United States that is
opposed to governmental control
is the American Smelling & Re-
fining company.
The people are studying these
questions and every man who as
pires to public Office should take
stand either for private monop-
oily, or for the people. The man

Bureau of Mines to Re-
move Station From Golden

move Station From Golden
Because of the School of Mines
needs the Hall of Engineering,
which has been occupied for sew
eral years by the Colorado station
of the United States bureau of
mines, Golden and Colorado, will
lose the station, and Nevada, or
some other state will be selected
as the location for this important
branch of the federal bureau.
Nevada has offered big induce
ments to get station there. That
state will provide a suitable loca-
tion and will put up a fund of
100000 to get he station there.
Moscow, Idaho, Lawrence, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, and other places
are extremely anxious to secure
the station and are offering big
inducements. DIR. Lind and DIR.
Lyon left yesterday for Reno,
New, to look over the situation
there. They will also visit other
points, and no definite statement
can be made as to where the sta
tion will go after their report is
made.
Following the decision of the
board of trustees, Prof. l. A. Pal
mer, who is acting as president in
the absence of DIR. Anderson, was
instructed to notify the bureau.
Prof. Palmer's letter follows:
"At meeting of the board of
trustees he'd this day it was de-
cided that the contract between
the United States bureau of mines
and the Colorado School of Mines
would not be renewed with the in
clusion of engineering hall. We
shall be very glad to renew the
contract, offering you the use of
the metallurgical research plant
for your headquarters, to be used
in conjunction with the metallur-
gical research department.
Professor Low will confer with
you and arrange the details, so
! that the vacation of engineering
hall will discommode you as little
as possible"
This building we were to be
shifted to was entirely untitled
for our use," said DR.. Lind.
There is no heating plant in the
building, and the laboratory work
would be impossible there.
81 am very sorry to leave Gold
en-, but under the conditions it is
necessary. The $4,000 appropri-
ated by the Colorado legislature
for special state work during the
fiscal year ending Nov. 80, will go
, for the purpose intended.
1--WE will leave four inside and
two field men to carry out the COM
plex ore work lined up until the
end of the fiscal year.
Congress has provided that
two more experimental stations be
placed next year and Colorado
stands good show of obtaining
one of these, l believe.
"In my opinion this station will
go to Nevada, as that state has
/ offered 100000 and excellent ac-
! ccmmodations."
At the meeting of the trustees
when it was decided to make this
change, Harry NJ. Rubey, the Col
/ den member of the board, was in
Chicago.
Golden people will regret ex-
ceedingly to see the bureau of
mines station leave this city. 1t
has been fine to have such a large
and important institution here. 1t
has added prestige to the city and
will be great loss. About fif-
teen people, all high class folks,
have been employed here. Many
of them are men with families
and their departure will be keen
