Tho- Colorado strike situation la aspriqus ,'in fact Is a disgrace J.o our ntlro country. '' , ' Viewing1 It as -wo must from this llstancb,,'wo aro led to bollevo that great wrong exists and both side's siro porhaps to blamo for the conr dltlon now prevalent in that unfortu amtocduntry.

Tho presenco of the militia has been necessary most 'of the tlrrie and bull pens and Jails havo been filled with American citizens. This state of affairs should not bo. tolerated In a free country and tho state' authorities, should deal suminar-lly-wlth all parties concerned. Not only should tho workors bo punished, "but tho men who own tho mines and Jure deaf to reason should bo handled. If tho owners wore Imbue I with a spirit of' Justice they could reach an understanding with their' workmen. This is certain, but they have started a freeze out game and they will ex pect tho .stato officers to assist them In tho nefarious plans. Tho deportation of citizens Is wrong 3n spirit and Is a precedent that Tiould not bo allowed to continue- Extend, to other troubles and other states tho practlco would soon lead to revolution and anarchy. If tho Tjroat corporations onco knew that they would bo allowed to exile and "banish , men and women from their "homes with scarcoly an' hour's notice and on some trifling protoxt, our coun- try would soon lapse Into absolute -despotism. Tho citizens committee, organized to, Assist tho mine owners Is nothing .short of, an' auxiliary to tho large cor porations. Thoy aro business and professional mon l,t Is said, and many of the noxious decrees havo emanated .from thojr solf appointed court. Thoy own proporty Ini tho district and claim tho right to tako the law In their hands. Thoy forget that tho minors aw also entitled to con sideration;. Tho business mon do not caro for the man who digs In tho 'ground, when over ho interferes with their trade. They aro thero to got money and when, ho assorts his rights thoy say "move on" nnd wo will llnd another slave. , Tho reasonable people of Colorado will forco an oarly adjustment of tho dlillcultlos, nt loast It Is their plain duty to do so.

They were plainly for tho pur pose of political control. Thero Is but one safo rule to adopt In dealing with corporations, and that , Is that thoy can have no cocrot which tho public Is bound to Tespect.

While tho trade which- Indiai can get from tho tpaUiely populated territory of Thibet is not Hkoly to compensate tho British, government for tho outlay, the government probably finds Is neces sary now to carry tho expedition through to tho, sacred city of tho Lamas for tho preservation of British prestige In Central As'a. nnd to defeat .tho aggrandizing schemes of Russia, who ,19 bpUovod,to bo roncouraglng (he Thibetans to resist the British ad vance for tho sake of acquiring tho territory herself.
