That the rob s selected the mountains west of Grande is not to be wondered at, in all probability the way robbers lire that is the most plausible loca i on the whole transcontinental tern. ' Inyway we are confronted with a in robbery in 1914 and a bold, bad in robbery in -whicl death played part. Ml of which goe to show the ira ssibility of perfecting humanity, ng years of correct living has its iring, generations of honest peo ! help to mold character, laws and ;islation do their small part, tuit en with all of these barricades na re slips one over occasionally and velopes a train robber, a murderer, bunco man and various other sorts criminals. In the face of organized! law these ;n take the chance. To us it seems impossibility for the men who l)bed passenger train No. 6 on the W. to ever escape. They are al st sure to be overtaken very soon, t they will gamble with prison tcrni3 d death in this late day very much e same as did Jesse James and his llowers a half century ago.

Rose meyer said something equally humor mous, and tho man who wu consum ing the soup with all th.e fevi&ty of a waterworks pumping feWWon, shipped out a. (revolver and tkxt bjth Ebert and Rosemeyer. It would aeem as though the war on noisv feoup should be submitted to mediation. The. situation has grown 8 t acuU "between tha anti-noisy soup and the noisy soup devotees that fre quent incidents of bloodshed and peril are more or less likely. It is purely a question of persona) liberty and must be handled with much finesse.

It ib a large problem that Charles Stelzle is putting up to the readers in church progress, including the question of whether such a matter is or ever can be a subject for united church action. It is the old issue of "the tainted dollar" in a new form. A New Yorker has just spent three months in jail for stealing a 60-cent piece. At that rate there are many New Yorkers who deserve life sen tences. The Wilson administration is .going t be a success in one way at least. The third audi only remaining daugh ter will be married in a very short time. For several years there has been a usade in this country against tho isy enters of soup. In many cafes cheslras have been hired to drown t the soup inhalers, while several niuscs have invented noiseless soup oons. In spite of these efforts, how cr, the evil exists as flagrantly as er, and the sound of soup is heard om Maine to California and in every tel. restaurant and private board- block tno rt.fo,.m legislation After presonal observations in Col orado, Charles Stelzle puts a burden of responsibility on American church es for solution of the internal prob lem in the American west. He speaks with the authority from experience as a workingman and as a church man of national repute. "The revolution in America," is the way he phrases the deplorable situa tion, as the title of a newspaper ar ticle. He reviews the facts familiar to the public and charges arbitrary use of power through state channels at the behest of the Rockefeller cor poration, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. Without excusing either party, ho holds that acts reprehens ible have been committed on both sides of the controversy. He calls attention to the slaughter of women and children during the bitter strug gle and then discusses "the direct re sponsibility of the state and church." As to the state he believes that the jworkingnien who were urgedl to use '"ballots, not bullets," used ballots at tho polls for years and then when de feated in their plans, after the people of the state by a majority of 40,000 had approved a constitutional amend ment, because vested interests had "purchased" enough legislators to There Now it is demanded that tobacco, too, be banished from warships.

Cambridge, Mass., July 2. Having followed the route taken by George Washington on his historic ride from Philadelphia 139 years ago, to take charge of the continental army here, three members of the Sons of the American Revolution arrived here to day to lead in unveiling a memorial tablet. The men who have followed Washington's route, and! unveiled tab lets at each point where Washington stopped are Brigadier General Philip Reader, U. S. A., retired; Edwin S. Crandon, Boston, and Henry F. Pon derson, of Springfield, Mass.
