AND THKKK IS NOTHING W illi II I.ABOK CANNOT ACCOMPLISH. II- IT At I S I'M I I'DI.V IN POLITICS. If the laboring men and women of C olorado stand to gether at the polls, there is no biased or boußhten official whom they cannot pull from his position of power, no brutal condition which they cannot wipe out. The free ballot is the instrument for the iclress of wrongs. It was intended to be such, and thr very problem of self-government rests upon its intelligent and patriotic ever cise In keeping with this movement by the Colorado miners is the declaration by the United Mine Workers' convention at Indianapolis that "the time has arrived, owing to the present economic conditions and the machinations of 'the Interests' in many places, for the laboring people to come to gether in a political labor party." So long as labor denies itself its political power, it will be tyrannized over by "watered" capital backed by all the executives of the law and by the military, and licked piece meal. save as to very rare Instances. We have object les sons on this point in poor old "Mother" Jones in jail, and Samuel Gompers headed for jail.

Pa. A Jolt For the Rule of Judges Lllill T is breaking through the clouds of mushy legal precedent. The supreme court of this state Saturday handed the arbitrary rule of judges in contempt cases a n»<>st unprece dented jolt, when it held in the cases of Thorwald Stcg fried, attorney, and Thomas W. Russell and Ktnil Hendruk »nn, miners, that they are entitled to a change of venue from Judge Humphries' court. In Siegfried's case, the alleged contempt consisted in writing a letter calling attention of the Seattle Bar associa tion to acts of Judge Humphries, which might bear investi gation. Russell and Hendrickson were among those who signed resolutions condemning Judge Humphries' dictatorial treat ment of people who protested against his "street speaking" decisions. Without reference to whether Siegfried, Russell and Hendrickson were guilty or not of contempt, the fact is that Judge Humphries in each of those cases was the com plainant. Yet he pointed to legal precedent as his authority for also sitting a* judge and jury on those cases, in which he had a personal and prejudiced interest, unless we are to take stock in the theory that judges are divine and not human A most unhonorable, unprincipled, and un-American doc trine, to be sure. But precedent seemed to be with Judge Humphries until the supreme court smashed "sacred" prece dent to smithereens, took the broad, human view, and ordered all three of the contempt cases to be tried before some other judge than Humphries. W. H. P. SAYS h« knowi enough about pofcsr to fill a book. It's a flush he ought to knvw how to fill, not a book. We Don't Want a Leisure Class <<TTTOMFN," says Anne Morgan, "constitute the only » » leisure class we have in America " Do we want a leisure class? Is it to anyone's credit to have leisure; to be without stimulating and useful occupa tion ? We gue«« not —there'* too much truth in that old say ing: "Satan finds mischief for idle hand* to do." Next to an unemployed man, the saddest sight is an unoccupied woman a wife, sifter or mother with nothing to do. In a world so rich with interesting activities, at a time when there is so much to be done, the fact of any grown jierson possessing normal powers wilfully choosing the role of idleness is both pathetic and provoking Not leisure, but the stimulus of interesting and varied activities, is what all should pray for and strive for. [t is the -upreme felicity.
