A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
It should be the policy of the United States to leave no
place on earth where a corrupted man can rest in peace,
»—The President's Message.
Cripple Creek anarchists are up against it now, good
and hard. Governor Peabody is right in saying that ‘‘the
reign of the lawbreaking element of the Western Federa
tion of Miners has got to end in this state,’’ and every
good citizen upholds him in the course he is taking.—
Fort Collins Courier.
The Colorado state board of agriculture recently passed
some very strong resolutions against the too common cus
tom of denuding the forests of the state and endorsed the
objects and purposes of the State Forestry association. It
is stated that in the last quarter of a century the forest
areas of Colorado have been reduced from nearly 40,000 to
only 5,000 square miles and in view of these statements it
seems high time some definite action were taken to save
the already too small wooded area. ‘‘Save the forests and
store the floods’’ is a motto slways applicable in Colorado.
That time flys rapidly one has only to remember thflt‘
once again the Yuletide period is upon us Once uguiu‘
we are chanting our praises as a reverberation of the
paeons of joy that arose from the Judean hills in honor of‘
the advent of a newborn King. Yes, the Merry (,'hristv‘
mas time is here, and let us hope that the Christmau‘
spirit may thoroughly animate our hearts and that in this
‘“‘Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men’’ season and |
throughout the coming year our hearts and lives may b’e‘
actuated by the pure and holy teachings of the Messiah |
whose birth all Christians celebrate at this time. |
If a few money magnates can dictate the nominee at
Chicago, Theodore Roosevelt will not be the man, but there
are too many men in the republican party who will not
bow down and worship the Golden Calf. In times waen
the need came the common people have taken an active in
terest in public affairs and settled them right. The dem
ocratic party has always claimed to be the party of the peo
ple, opposed to the trusts and corporations. Next year its
candidate will be named by that class and President Roos
evelt will receive a tremendous vote from the middle
classes—the common people. He has refused to pledge a
policy different from what he deems his duty. —Grand
Junction News.
It is bad enough when two men having a grudge
against each other meet and fight it out. Often such en
counters result in the death of one of the combatants and
then we call it murder, but even that does not seem so
devilish as the terribly atrocious crime which was visited
upon the New Castle miners last week. A desire to get
even with an enemy seems to be one of the characteristics
of our sinfnl human nature and because human nature is
much the same in all of us we are sometimes half inclined
to approve of this trait in others but this is as nothing,
compared with the fiendish attempt made against inno
cent wives and helpless children. Legally the perpetrator
of that devilish ctime is not a murderer but morally he is
as much a murderer as thongh he had accomplished his

lawful purpose and nothing short of the severest penalty of
| the law should be meted out to the goilty parties.
| Two of our good neighbors, the News and the Senti
{nel of Grand Junction have recently, discarded their old
;presses and both nave installed new and modern drum
Icy]inders of the Cranston type. These papers are both
| well managed and both have enjoyed a liberal patronage
:dnring the past two years—and they are worthy of it.
| Graud Junction merchants have not been blind to the fact
l‘that it is as ridiculous to think of doing business without
| the aid of a newspaper as for a newspaper man to imagine
|he can succeed without a community to support his enter
‘prise. For their liberality toward their newspapers the
;Gmnd Junction merchants and business men have been
|repaid many, many times over—in fact they have been
igiven valuable and indispensable advertising which they
| could not have paid for but which has come to them as a
| natural consequence of decent treatment. The Post con
’ gratulates our prosperous brethren as well as the community
|which has been the beneficiary of their liberal policy.
\ I believe in organized labor, in the right of men to
lmmbine for the purpose of furthering their interests and
| protecting their rights. I believe that organized labor
fhflfl done much to better the conditions of the great body
|of working men in this country. It has shortened their
’hnurs of labor, increased their emoluments and doubled
| their independence and their power—all of which is good
}fur the general welfare, and has my—as it has every right
!thinkinz American man and woman’'s—hearty sympathy
iund indorsement. But Ido not believe in any organiza
;tion. party or person, which advocates anarchy and revo
ilutionflry socialism. The Western Federation of Miners
|since its inception has been fostered, protected ani sup
-Iported. by men who have been a constant irritant and
cause of trouble, bloodshed and expense to this state. It
!is a body of malcontents, controlled by a coterie of evil
men who use their position and their power to foster a
spirit of discontent and strife among their fellows; who
are antagonistic to the business interests of their employers
and indifferent to the welfare of the community; who have
incited men to riots, who have been guilty of heinous
[crimes and who openly advocate murder, assassination aud
arson. The history of this organization is appalling, the
llist of their victims leigon. - Polly Pry.
i Governor Peabody's prompt action in offering a re
lward for the apprehension of the parties responsible for
'the New Castle catastrophe is highly commendable and
shows that the law is no respecter of persons. When the
governor stated that every man in the state whether union
or non-union who desired to work should be protected in
| that desire he brought down upon his head the wrath of
Ithe union miners, but when he turns the tables as fair play
demands and says that dynamiters shall be brought to
justice no matter whom they may be and that the property
of the union miner-—even the striker shall be held as sa
cred as that of the mine owner or corporation, it would
seem that the most narrow and prejudiced could not with
hold the commendation which he deserves. The Post is
under no obligations to any mining corporation or any
union on earth. Our business is to publish a newspaper
and in that connection to comment trathfully upon cor
rent events. Neither capital nor labor can dictate the
policy of this paper contrary to the judgment of its edi
]tor. While we never begrudge a laborer all the wages he
can get in honorable fashion, we have not beenjin sympa
!thy with the present strike for the very good reason that
it was not justified by the conditions. It was doomed to
'fnilure from the beginning and it ought to fail becanse it
has nothing to recommend it to the judgment of honest
||.uon. But these facts do not alter nor in any measure
ipallinta the crime at New Castle. Union miners chose to
| engage in a strike and the penalty for their folly rested
{most heavily upon themselves and their families. So long
}as these men deported themselves as good citizens they are
| entitled to as full and complete protection of life and prop
| erty as though they could measure wealth with the wealth
| iest mine owner of the state. And that is exactly the
| kind of treatment that will be accorded them by Governor
| Peabody.
