Civil War in Colorado In union there is strength. In labor unions there is sometimes strength and sometimes weak ness. Labor has as much right to organize as capital has. Observation leads us to con clude that it matters not how good is the organization or how beneficent is the object or pur pose, if bad or morally weak men are at the head, more harm than good will be accomplished. Labor is usually more preju diced on account of class or color than is capital. Labor bars Ne groes from its organizations when it can. Capital rarely does so. The strike in Colorado ha3 be come a civil war. The strikers appear to be in the wrong. Pres ident Wilson has on his hands a civil war which in some respects is more perplexing than the war with Mexico. By asking the aid of the Rockefellers, the presi dent has indicated his inability to deal with the situation. Oh for a Grover Cleveland or Theo dore Roosevelt at this time! Latin-American Statesmen on the Job. It looks now as though the statesmen of Latin America, or at least of Argentina. Brazil and Chile, are widening the scope of their intermediations, and wish to take up for consideration the entire Mexican situation. We believe the powers of Eu rope will give their moral sup port to this. With Mr. secretary Bryan a3 an apostle of the Prince of Peace the indications are now that there will not be a cruel, need less and bloody war between this country and Mexico, for which we are devoutly thankful. The Slit Skirt "To the Editor of The State: "I am not favorably impressed with slit skirts, or I do not ap prove of ladies wearing them. I hate to see a lady wearing one. I refrain from expressing fully my objections to the slit skirt. I will say this: I do not know that my wife wants one--if she does just let her get one and put it on and wear it before the pub iic, then you will see an account of our separation in the papers. I wish the public generally to understand that. I am not dis cussing their wearing of "slit skirts" when I speak of my at titude to the wearing of one by my wife. I am only trying to impress the public with the fact that my family knows I am at the head of our family and wheth er I try to "boss" qr not, 1 am regarded as "boss" as pertain ing to ridiculous things or any thing else. Now, a word to the heads of other families; If you will take the same stand (as to slit skirts) that I have taken, they will'go out of style at once. Not that we would cast any re flection upon any lady who wears a slit skirt, but hoping they will soon see the ridiculous ness of wearing one, as even the black female race are heard to re mark 'It don't look good to me'." "B. S. Moody." The foregoing, taken from our esteemed contemporary, hits the nail on the head, or rather, hits the skirt on the slit. "The black female race" must feel complimented; for "the black female race are h^ard to remark. 'It don't look good to me." Now if it be in order, wt would Mke to hear from th?, brown female race and the y el pw female race and (wouldn't it delight our hearts also to hear from) the white female race. For what ever the white female race may have to say on the slit skirt, question is bound to go. Brother Moody, stir up the white fem?le race for us on this question, and when you get them to join with "the black female race" and say "It don't look good to me," then it is good by to the slit skirt. Most men of the black male race and every other shade or color of the male race abominate the slit skirt, if w^rn by their wives, their mopers, their daughters or their sisters; but they happen in many instances not to be the heads but the fig ure-heads of their families. We welcome the deliverance of Mr. Moody and hope it will result in good. We also take oft? our hats to "the black female race," and say with them, "It don't look good to me." We wish to re mark in conclusion that being a member of the male race we are not courting a fight with the fe male race, for we recognize "that the female of the species is more deadly than the male."
