The Rangers in Service

In Huerfano county the Colorado Rangers are
performing the service for which they established
and they giving full justification for the law that
called them into existence.
Present conditions are in impressive contrast with
those that existed in the southern Colorado coal

until the spirit Of turbulence and awlcssness RAM
pant. The opinion of the public indefinite and
unsettled. Many well meaning persons were led into
sympathy With awbreakers, and other good citizens
went to extremes in denying to other citizens their law
full rights. When the national guard called into
service it under most unfayorabe conditions, and
the conflicts that the result in the highest
degree dsgraceful to the state The spiked clubs and
other barbarous implements with which the strikers
armed themselves evidence of the fear and hatred
with which they regarded the government to which

How different the present story. The controversy

their service welcomed not less by the pcaceabe
citizens of Huerfano other mining counties than
by the people of the state.
1t is true that there have been protests against the
Rangers and against their in the southern coal
camps There will always be protests against law
enforcement, and against the interference of state
authority with the plans and purposes Of astaors and
