THE IRREPRESSIBLE COLORADO CONFLICT.
The eyes of the world are turning to Colorado to won
der what In the nation is coming next. A situation of af
fairs Is existent there that would shake the foundation of
any government less firmly established than ours, and
yet it does not cause a ripplc of excitement outside the
borders of that state Of course, there was a thrill of
horror when the news came of the dynamiting the rail
road platform, with its crowded and complex mass of hu
man beings and the hurling of a score of them*into eter
nity. and all because the union miners had determined
that no non-union man should work in a Colorado mln*',
but the sensation was dead before the news was cold.
The heartlcssness of the whole business is only paralleled
by the Indifference with which the whole business 1*
viewed by the great body of the American public. The
incident and its garnishings are used for the headlines
of the papers and for the texts of sermons and for tha
caption of Meaders, but that is about all. To adorn a
moral or a tale is about the real use of such occurrences
but there is yet to come a deeper meaning to this strife
and what the end of it may be no one knows. That only
those within a certain circle are to be allowed to work
fur their bread, fur homes for themselves and little ones
and that all outside this select circle must starve, is one
of the conclusions that the American people will be very
slow to arrive at. Yet this is really the problem that con
fronts them In the state of Colorado today and elsewhere
The dark cloud of his Social Industrialism now overhang
ing the nation is breaking in drops of blood here and
♦ben- and there may be a deluge before that cloud dis
perses. Will the good sense and the determination of the
American people that law must be obeyed, the rights of
labor respected, the rights of employers conceded, will
this prevail or must there be a revolutien that shall again
deluge the land in blood before industrial peace is ee
tablished and industrial common sense prevail? This is
the problem that Colorado is trying to solve, and has been
trying for the last decade almost, and as yet it is as far
from solution apparently as ever But only apparently,
for the people have at last taken the matter in their own
hands and business men are organizing to drive the dis
turbers of the public peace from the state. Where such
a condition prevails there must of necessity be violence
ami disturbance, but woe unto those by whom the offense
cometh This is good scripture and it may be good Colo
rado business sense before the trouble is ended
Galveston is not pleased with the supposed'production of

proposals of Colonel Younghueband unopened by the Thi
betan ruler shows that there is going to be war. and this .
too after the Thibetans have sampled the methods and 1

British can bring on their reinforcements in time and in |
plumbers sufficient to push back the enemy from their
mountain position and advance to their capital. If they
do not they lose mon- than what they at first attempted
to gain, lose in prestige and in future Influence in the very |

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ONCE MORE.
Superintendent Wolfe, of the San Antonio city school
seemr surprised that more attention Is not paid to tl
matter of industrial education. He wonders why the i
traduction into the high school curriculum of an industri
course has been so long delayed There are more tha
Superintendent Wolfe who are surprised at the apathy <
the state and the cities of the stale, this city included, I
■ this matter of industrial education. It’is a matter so viti
1 to the propel- training of the pupils for their work in Ilf
on losing the school that every sensible man will joi
1 1 hands with those who feel that our present system is t<
। tally Inadequate to prepare the pupils for the real work c
, life For the pas* ten or fifteen yeans The Light has bee
[ baAni. rlug away pn this subject of Industrial educatior
but with little effect Under one of the former schoo
' nuperintendent* of thia city the matter was taken up in i
1 covert way. but was not brought prominently to the frou
’ and kept there as it should. The president of the Unlver
1 sity oi Texas a few years ago took strong ground in fgvo
। of an industrial department In connection with the unlver
sity. but it too fans gone whore the woodbine clambereth
The Light is pleased to see that the present superintend
ent of education for this city has some interest In the ma
ter. and his contention that there should be tn connection
with the high school here an industrial department la
timely The Light has been pleading for this for many
years, aud has expressed on innumerable occasions the
opinion that in every city of at least ten thousand people
there should be an industrial department in
with the public schools. The common sense reasons fot
an education that will supply the children of the people
with practical knowledge that will prepare them to mak<
their way successfully in the world are so obvious that
they do uot need to be put before the public. The present
school course not only does not do this, as these columns
have again and again set forth but that education does not
even determine for what a boy or girl is best fitted by
nature to do and do it successfully. A change is needed
and needed as soon as the educators of the state can bring
it about. There has been no end of declamation on tho
matter before the institutes and all that, but practical or
gsntzstion l» needed Some Im ginnings have been mad<
here and there, but the whole school system of the stat,
owls to be so reorganized as to provide for this Indus
trial education in the school. Then will the taxes that
are paid for the maintenance of the schools, and the tiro
that is spent in them bring forth some fruit Make th •
schools industrial as far and as rapidly as possible, and
then make attendance upon them compulsory and suppl)
the pupils with their text books from the public school
funds and there will be a lift to the whole Itorizon of the
work of the public school

Looking over the pages and the cartoons in the Literarj

the Republicans who are better able to stand the advers.

one cannot but wonder where the digestion of facts come:
in If they are all online side? Partisan digestion is some
thing new In the field of a true literary digest Not that if
matters, for newspapers and and digests are on
ly so much more evidence upon which thoughtful mind.-
make their own opinions, or they are thrust aside alto
gether as standing in the way of one’s prejudices. As opiti
ion makers they are of value according to their agreement
with facts As a literary suggestion the Digest is a val
uable journal of reference.
There mutt have been something radically out of Joiui
in Colorado to call for the citizens taking the law in their

ft la a significant fact that a meeting, numerously signe 1
by Democrats supposed to have some standing In their
state la called in New York to protest against the action
of the State Democratic convention in the instructions for
Parker, and that the protest of this meeting Is to appear
before the convention in St Louis. How much milk or
how much verjuice there is in this thing the Republicans
are not supposed to know, but the fact Itself is sufficient
to justify the conclusion, long since expressed by The Light
tha: Parker is not the real choice of the Democrats of thi
state of New York and that indorsement was more ft r
the purpose <>f shelving Hearst outside tha state than for
any other purpose. This late movement bears upon that
opinion and seems to Justify it in so far as the strength cf
that protest goes.

GOVERNMENT GRAFT.
A Remedy Suggested.
The national government is re
quired. by the necessities of good ser
vice to keep abreast of the times in
recognizing and adopting valuable new
mechanical device*. In war and In
peace, in public as well as In private
life, competition obliges the use of the
be»t facilities.
This is especially true in the postal
service, a purely business institution
availing itself of innumerable me
chanical contrivances to expedite Ilf
work. The head of this department
must not be of the class who woul<
slaughter a novel suggestion with tb«
bludgeon of conservatism or dlsmlst
an independent thought as pernicious
activity. If the postal service is t<
comply with the public demand foi
celerity and efficiency, it must use thi
latest inventions aud improvemenb
applicable to Its varied activities, h
can only do this by promptly utilizing
patented articl-’s and therefore. und«
present conditions, finds itself, to t
certain extent, at the mercy of paten
tees and manufacturers.
It is. The Sentry believes, a sign!
Bcant fact that in nearly every ca»
the alleged criminal practices in tb
poßtoffiep department, for which man;
indictment* have been found and soon
convictions had. occur in the purchasi
of articles covered by patents, ti
which the general principle of purchar
ing government supplies on competl
live bids, cannot be applied, sine
there can be no competition. The cor
ruplion largely consisted in paylni
exorbitant prices to the manufacturer:
of these neeesban patented device
through collusion with subordinate of
flcials of the department who. It is al
leyed. were induced to pay these ex
travagam prie s by heavy bribes.
Tho law requires ordinary supplie
and commodities used by the depart
menu to be purchased on contract:
with the lowest bidder after competi
tion open to all who make or sei
these articles. But as only one con
corn can make or sell a patented de
vice, the comptroller of the ireasur;
was forced to decide as early as 189*
that the revised statutes do not rc
quite the advertising for proposals o.
the making of contracts for the pur
chase of patented or copyrighted artl
des where the benefit of competltioi
cannot be secured. Among the certi
tlcates for -xpenditures of mone;
specifically referred to in the decisloi
an 4 especially covered thereby, art
postal straps for the us* of letter car
rlers; time clocks, attachments foi
street letter boxes, and time cards fo:
street let'.er-boxes. Strangely enougl
■act. one of these enumerated device:
was tho subject of a separate and spe
cinl scandal developed in the posta
investigation of 1903.
All such purchases are of an emer
gency character. There can be m
bids on contracts, and the postofflci
aulhoritle-i are the soL: lodges o
prices to be paid and quantities ol
tained. Thu- tact throws an enorinmi
responsibility on several subordinate

the employment of a high salarii
purchasing agent for the entire sir
vice, who shall give heavy bonds am
be responsible directly to the post
master general. Another remed
which occurs to the Sentry, ann
which would apply equally to all the
other departments of the government
to the great relief of each and with
doubtless an enormous aggregate sav
ing Ie money each year, is this:
Amend the patent laws so as to pro

ment departments desire to use a

vllllng to accept the price thus es

Ive for offering bribes to any official
for approving or buying and the sev
eral departments would secure the
leslrcd 'mprovemenls at a minimum
coat.
The whole value of an invention to
an inventor consists in the monopoly
given to him by the government
• hrongh Its natept laws, ft is surely
permissible *e Sentry believes, that
*he nation jbould protect Itself
against extortion under cover of Its
own benefsciions If the manufacturer
should refuse to accept the price thus
established provislcn could then be
made for invalidating the patent as to
