Let not thy mind run on what thou lackest as much as on what thou hast already. -Marcus Aurelius. OOKING UP "lt's always morning somewhere." While "school is not ott" as far as the elementary grades are concerned, we are always inclined to date the start of the vacation season from the university's commencement day. And that day is now in the past, for 1914. The year at the university has closed and the students have scattered to their homes. Vacation, then, may be said to be with us. As to the necessity which exists for this vacation institution there is no question raised, either by theorist or by practical man. The former fig- ures it out easily that the human ma- chine requires a rest in order to main- tain a state of efficiency. The latter has discovered by actual experience that it is better for his business that the men who do his work should have a chance for change and recuperation. So we may dismiss the argument as settled. We may declare the verdict unanimous in favor of vacation. And our discussion naturally turns to the question of how best to take advant- age of vacation's opportunities. There are many people who make too hard work of vacation. To be sure, they gain the benefits which come from change of sctene andl oc- cupation for a time, but they make such a task of their vacation pleasure that they do not derive from it half the lasting good which they might gain. In western Montana, the question of vacation settles itself, provided it is not messed with. Right here, close at hand, there are incomparable va- cation charms, ready for our enjoy- ment, just for the taking. It is not necessary for us to take long railway journeys in the heat if June, to find a pleasant place to rest. We have here the climate, the water, the scen- ery, the sports for which other peiople are compelled to travel far. Some of the most successful vaca- tions which I know about have been spent by home folka here, right at home. None of their trips were more than a day or twot in length and all were taken leisurely and comfortably. Some of their days were spent in the back yard at hore. All of their days were happy. There were fishing trips and picnic trips and photographing trips andi there were days of quiet loafing. There was always the home bed and the home table to which return was pos- sible In a few hours. And there was the grandest scenery, the finest fish- ing, the most glorious climate with which Providence has endowed man. It was a happy vacation in every instance in which I have known this program to be carried out. So were the vacations happy when friends jaunted in automobiles; so were those happy in which the vacationists jour- neyed In railway trains. But these va- cations for the folks who have no automobiles, for those to whom the expense of a railway journey is too great, they are the ones which prove the possibilities for happiness which lie right at our doors. We are won- derfully blest, here in this region. We have not reason for one little word of complaint. We have such opportuni- ties for enjoyment as- compare with our resources in other lines. Right here at home we have the things for which many people cross the conti- nent. -THE OPTIMIST. A WORTHY TRIBUTE It was a graceful act upon the part of the Class of 1914 of the University of Montana, to leave as its remembrance with its alma mater, the portrait of Professor Aber. It was an act which reflects wisdom and good judgment, together with fine courtesy and sound appreciation. If all the acts of the members of this class, in the future, are as wisely conceived, as well planned and as graciously executed, the 1914 num- erals will be red figures in the history of the institution which has so recently conferred degrees upon these young men and women. The Missoulian's news columns during the week have told of the pleasant words which were spoken in presentation and in acceptance of this new portrait which now hangs upon the library walls of the university. It is not necessary here to repeat them. They were words well chosen and fitly spoken. They were sincere, which is the best part of it. Timely was the gift which the class of 1914 bestowed upon the university in parting and gracefully was that gift pre- sented. Rather, the incident finds place here this morning by rea- son of the high principle and earnest devotion which are personified in the man who is subject of the portrait. The words of appreciation which were spoken by student and faculty orators, last week, were but mild delineation of the 'service which Professor Aber has rendered the university and the state. No finer type could have been chosen by this graduating class as the subject for the portrait which it should leave to students present and to students yet to c)me. Professor Aber is typical of the spirit which pervades the work at the University of Montana. His is the Montana 'spirit. His is the example which has done so much to create and to keep alive that spirit. Loyalty and devotion are the attributes which stand out most strongly in the impression which contact with Profes- sor Aber leaves upon the student mind. And this impres- ision is the more lasting because it is formed by practice and :not by preaching. The testimony of the students is thatI Professor Aber is loved by every member of the student body at the university. Yet there is no member of the uni- versity faculty who is more exacting than is Professor Aber. It is because his ideal of the university is so high, because his love for the university is so deep, his devotion to the uni- Iversity is so strong, that he is able to hold the affections of students and teachers alike. The sentiment of the students who spoke at the presenta- 'tion the other day was formed from association extending through four years in the university. Those of us who have followed the development of the university through two decades, who have known more or less intimately the splen- 'did influence which Professor Aber has exerted for twenty years-we share to the utmost the opinion which the stu- dents hold. Their estimate of Professor Aber is our esti- mate and their affection for him is our affection. The university can prosper only through the maintenance of a high ideal and through strict adherence to that ideal. . This is true, of course, of any university, but it is particu- larly true of the University of Montana. Professor Aber personifies that ideal. He lives that ideal. The university is his very life and he has given that life to the university. This is not idle, perfunctory praise. It is written in per- fect sincerity. There have been many times when The Mis- soulian has not agreed with Professor Aber in matters which concerned the university and its development. But always, we have known that Professor Aber was unselfish and sin- cere in his position and always we have respected his views. Future generations of students will find inspiration in the portrait, which the class of 1914 has left upon the university walls. That portrait represents the ideal of university en- deavor as the members of the class of 1914 see it after four years of sojourn there. If succeeding classes obtain this same view of what constitutes true university work, of what is meant by the university spirit, then there will go out from the gates of this institution, men and women who are worthy to bear the honors which are there conferred upon them. There is, then, something particularly fitting in the selec- tion of the class of 1914; there is something specially timely in the manner of the presentation of this portrait. The class is to be complimented and the university is to be con- gratulated. In Little Old New York iI Ne\\ York. Jlne G. - The first spell t of warml \\ather has sentl manly flllli- I lies to the country. The blue blinds hiave tbeen going up all week at the t lown houses in the fashionable rest- dential districts. Already the town 1 has hec,,me very desolate socially, the ctiv\ities of the few retalniing llom- t hers of society being tcnfinedt to the t stta:trl htls, where in formal dilnner p t:li'es Irc tde an evening :at the roof t.gardoens. The f;ishliunall le stmllmer resorts are inot anticip'ating a banner season this t year. ''The proprietor of a large and i \\ll-known resort lotel on the New England coast who\\l was in town the tlhIer dtao to engage his help for the 1 seatson slpklle rather dismally of the itoutlook for the stttnmaer business. He said tlliht up to the first of May he had rcct.ivted fe\ver than 4100 requests for the reserve of accommoUl dations at His hotel during the season. In good years, he stated, the number of such requests frequently exceeded 1,000. Proprie- tors of nlany other lsutmmer hotels and beach attractions have been heard re- cently to speak of the outlook in terms of deep pIessitmism. Thackeray's heroine solved the problem of 1ow to lice on "nothing a year." New York is filled with men who just mIanage to get by on an an- ttnual income of $75,000 or thetreabotutts. f When the lean years come and their earnings drop below the average they are forced to economize. For many of them this summer means Economy t with a big E. And that is why they r are sending the wives .and the kiddies off to Europe instead of to the shore for the summer. Experience has taught them that it is cheaper for them to remain quietly in town, put- ting up at the club or one of the less prctentious hotels and sending the family across the big pond, than to take a cottage at one of the fashion- able suommter colonies or to put 'p the whole outfit at one of the high-priced beach hotels, Experience has also taught them that New York is not al- together a disagreeable place In sum- mer for the man whose family Is away. The big managers are not at all sorry that "finis" has been written to the tneatrical season for 1913-1914. It was rather a barren season artistl- cally alnd at the same time far from satisfactory from the viewpoint of the boxoffice. The failures outnumbered the successes about 10 to 1. In the early part of the season the New York playgoers were offered as tempt. ing a Shakesperian menu as was ever served in this city. But the public evidently didn't want Shakespeare and his plays were taken off. Musical comedy, which has been the most suc- cessful line of attractions for several years, fell flat this season. Here and there a comedy, a drama or a musical show managed to do a paying busi- ness, but as previously stated the failures were many and the successes few. Scores of headline actors and actresses who were playing in the legitimate last fall, wound up the sea- son by doing two-a-day in vaudeville. The most notable success of the theatrical season in many respects was that of J. Hartley Manner's com- edy, "Peg o' My Heart," with Laurette Taylor in the stellar role. This play was the opening attraction at John Cort's new playhouse in West Forty- eighth street on the night of Decem- ber 20, 1912. With the exception of Good Fridays and Sundays the play was presented every day during the period from its opening date until last Saturday night. The run of seventy-six consecutive weeks was not the longest in the records of the American stage, but it was by far the longest that has been scored in New York in many years. But Laurette Taylor's achievement of playing 604 consecutive times the title role in the Manners comedy is a record that has never before been equaled. The near- est approach to it in this country was Maude Adams's 299 times as Lady Babble in "The Little Minister" at the Empire and Garrick theaters during the season of 1898-09. The second annual international moving picture trades exposition will be held in the Grand Central palace next week under the joint auspices of the International Motion Picture Ex- hibitors' association and the Independ- ent Exhibitors of America. The ar- rangements provide for a *series of novel attractions and entertainments to acquaint the patrons and owners of moving picture theaters with the progress made in the business during the past year. Primarily a motion picture attraction, it will feature a special studio in which will he shown the rehearsing, playing, taking and Ideveloping of a play let and then the finished picture on a screen will be run. The play will he enacted by well known players now engaged in moving picture companies in this country, in- cli:ling John Bunny, Mary Pickford, Alice Joyce, Crane \Vilhur, Earle Williams. Pearl White and Lillian Walker. Three sere of moving 4ilec- ture coonlpanies and enterprises cldsely allied with the moltion picture busi- ness will have exhibits at the. show. In connection with the exposition there will be a convention of owners and managers of mntiving picture houses in all parts of the United States and Canada. The conviction' of Madelina Ferola on am charge of first degree murder was something of a slrlprise to those connected with the district attorney's office, where the theory has long pre- valled that It is iminpssible to get a jury of 12 men in itle county of New York to send anything wearing a Ilettimoat to the electric chair. No matter how clear the case or con- "incing the evidence, or perfect the chain of proof, it has heretiofore been fiund useless to oexlet aI verdict of murder in the first dIgrce against a woman in this county. And what is trule of New York conty is true of almost every other in the state as shown by the results of trials of wom- en charged with murder. In the 22 years, since the electric chair was sub- stituted for the h:cnginan's noose as the legal method for taking the life of a convicted mnurderer, only two women have died in the stpte of New York at the hands of the law. Yet in that noritod scores I:he been tried for nmurder-in numerous cases the facts of the killing being admitted. The first electrocution of a woman took place in Sing Sing on March 21, 1S99. The victim of the death chair was 1 Mrs. Martha Place of Brooklyn, who killed her young stepdaughter in ir brutal manner, and later, the same day, tried to butcher her husband with an axe. The second electrocution of a woman was that of Mrs. Mary Farmer, who was put to death in Au- burn prison 10 years after the first electrocution. Mrs. Farmer was con- victed of m:rd,.ring Mrs. Sarah Bren- ran, her intimt:te friend and neighbor, in order te gain possession of her property. Mrs. Brennan was hacked to I ieces with a hatchet and her body stuffed in um trunk. ULSTERITES AND SUFFRAGETS CALL ASQUITH NAMES PREMIER ASQUITH.

Mrs. Grenfell is v;ce president of s the Colorado Law and Order league, Y composed largely of women, whose e purpose she says is to sustain the state authorities so long as their ac- tions are in the interest of a proper Sconduct of public affairs. 'The conflict at Ludlow was a most unfortunate affair," said Mrs. Gren- fell in an interview here, "but never has a tragedy been seized upon for such mnsrepresentation and defama- tion to the injury of the good name of the state and of the reapulation of its people for humanitarianism and s fair dealing. I am here because our Sorganization Wants the truth known in the interest of the state." Mrs. Grentell claims the strikers were the aggressors at Ludlow. "It should be remembered," she said, "that the labor troubles extend over a wide area, including not only those around Ludlow, but in Boulder county, 200 or 300 miles to the north, and in Routt I county, as far to the west. The south- ern fields, however, is the most ex- tended, and has been the scene of the larger number of the conflicts. Militia Preserved order. "The southern strike had not been long in progress when the collisions between the strikers and the repre- sentatives of the mine operators be- came so frequent that it became nec- essary for Governor Ammons to call out the militia. Abort that time oc- curred the ambuscade at the little town of La Veta, whi re four or five inoffensive miners were waylaid and killed by the strikers because they would not join the walkout. Many other outrages had been committed by the strikers, but it was not long until order was restored by the state troops. During the entire stay of the militia, about seven months, there were only two deaths resulting fromi the strike in the entire southern strike zone. .. . .. . .. . . . .. 1m :. .: _• Conversations With "Con" By The Invader.

"One most important, and, to my mind, a controlling fact, is that the -day when the fight began there were only 32 militiamen at Ludlow, while there were about 500' armed strikers and strike sympathizers who had con- gregated there, many of them coming from New lMexico. These strikers were thoroughly armed and their tents filled with ammunition. Large num- bers of them were fresh from thef Balkan war and trained in the arts of modern war.

Let not thy mind run on whatthou lackest as much as on whatthou hast already.

-Marcus Aurelius.

OOKING UP"lt's always morning

somewhere."

While "school is not ott" as far as

the elementary grades are concerned,

we are always inclined to date the

start of the vacation season from the

university's commencement day. And

that day is now in the past, for 1914.

The year at the university has closed

and the students have scattered to

their homes. Vacation, then, may be

said to be with us.

As to the necessity which exists

for this vacation institution there is

no question raised, either by theorist

or by practical man. The former fig-

ures it out easily that the human ma-

chine requires a rest in order to main-

tain a state of efficiency. The latter

has discovered by actual experience

that it is better for his business that

the men who do his work should have

a chance for change and recuperation.

So we may dismiss the argument as

settled. We may declare the verdict

unanimous in favor of vacation. And

our discussion naturally turns to the

question of how best to take advant-

age of vacation's opportunities.

There are many people who make

too hard work of vacation. To be

sure, they gain the benefits which

come from change of sctene andl oc-

cupation for a time, but they make

such a task of their vacation pleasure

that they do not derive from it half

the lasting good which they might

gain.

In western Montana, the question of

vacation settles itself, provided it is

not messed with. Right here, close

at hand, there are incomparable va-cation charms, ready for our enjoy-ment, just for the taking. It is notnecessary for us to take long railwayjourneys in the heat if June, to finda pleasant place to rest. We havehere the climate, the water, the scen-ery, the sports for which other peiopleare compelled to travel far.

Some of the most successful vaca-tions which I know about have beenspent by home folka here, right athome. None of their trips were morethan a day or twot in length and allwere taken leisurely and comfortably.Some of their days were spent in theback yard at hore. All of their dayswere happy.

There were fishing trips and picnictrips and photographing trips andi

there were days of quiet loafing. Therewas always the home bed and thehome table to which return was pos-sible In a few hours. And there wasthe grandest scenery, the finest fish-ing, the most glorious climate withwhich Providence has endowed man.

It was a happy vacation in everyinstance in which I have known thisprogram to be carried out. So werethe vacations happy when friendsjaunted in automobiles; so were thosehappy in which the vacationists jour-neyed In railway trains. But these va-cations for the folks who have noautomobiles, for those to whom theexpense of a railway journey is toogreat, they are the ones which provethe possibilities for happiness which

lie right at our doors. We are won-derfully blest, here in this region. We

have not reason for one little word ofcomplaint. We have such opportuni-

ties for enjoyment as- compare with

our resources in other lines. Righthere at home we have the things for

which many people cross the conti-

nent.-THE OPTIMIST.

A WORTHY TRIBUTE

It was a graceful act upon the part of the Class of 1914 ofthe University of Montana, to leave as its remembrance withits alma mater, the portrait of Professor Aber. It was anact which reflects wisdom and good judgment, together withfine courtesy and sound appreciation. If all the acts of themembers of this class, in the future, are as wisely conceived,as well planned and as graciously executed, the 1914 num-erals will be red figures in the history of the institutionwhich has so recently conferred degrees upon these youngmen and women.

The Missoulian's news columns during the week have toldof the pleasant words which were spoken in presentation andin acceptance of this new portrait which now hangs upon thelibrary walls of the university. It is not necessary here torepeat them. They were words well chosen and fitlyspoken. They were sincere, which is the best part of it.Timely was the gift which the class of 1914 bestowed uponthe university in parting and gracefully was that gift pre-sented.

Rather, the incident finds place here this morning by rea-son of the high principle and earnest devotion which arepersonified in the man who is subject of the portrait. Thewords of appreciation which were spoken by student andfaculty orators, last week, were but mild delineation of the

'service which Professor Aber has rendered the universityand the state. No finer type could have been chosen by thisgraduating class as the subject for the portrait which itshould leave to students present and to students yet to c)me.

Professor Aber is typical of the spirit which pervades thework at the University of Montana. His is the Montana'spirit. His is the example which has done so much to createand to keep alive that spirit.

Loyalty and devotion are the attributes which stand outmost strongly in the impression which contact with Profes-sor Aber leaves upon the student mind. And this impres-ision is the more lasting because it is formed by practice and:not by preaching. The testimony of the students is thatIProfessor Aber is loved by every member of the studentbody at the university. Yet there is no member of the uni-versity faculty who is more exacting than is Professor Aber.It is because his ideal of the university is so high, becausehis love for the university is so deep, his devotion to the uni-Iversity is so strong, that he is able to hold the affections ofstudents and teachers alike.

The sentiment of the students who spoke at the presenta-'tion the other day was formed from association extendingthrough four years in the university. Those of us who havefollowed the development of the university through twodecades, who have known more or less intimately the splen-'did influence which Professor Aber has exerted for twentyyears-we share to the utmost the opinion which the stu-dents hold. Their estimate of Professor Aber is our esti-mate and their affection for him is our affection.

The university can prosper only through the maintenanceof a high ideal and through strict adherence to that ideal..This is true, of course, of any university, but it is particu-

larly true of the University of Montana.Professor Aber personifies that ideal. He lives that ideal.

The university is his very life and he has given that life tothe university.

This is not idle, perfunctory praise. It is written in per-fect sincerity. There have been many times when The Mis-soulian has not agreed with Professor Aber in matters whichconcerned the university and its development. But always,we have known that Professor Aber was unselfish and sin-cere in his position and always we have respected his views.

Future generations of students will find inspiration in theportrait, which the class of 1914 has left upon the universitywalls. That portrait represents the ideal of university en-deavor as the members of the class of 1914 see it after fouryears of sojourn there. If succeeding classes obtain thissame view of what constitutes true university work, of whatis meant by the university spirit, then there will go out fromthe gates of this institution, men and women who are worthyto bear the honors which are there conferred upon them.

There is, then, something particularly fitting in the selec-tion of the class of 1914; there is something specially timelyin the manner of the presentation of this portrait. Theclass is to be complimented and the university is to be con-gratulated.

In Little Old New YorkiI

Ne\\ York. Jlne G. - The first spell t

of warml \\ather has sentl manly flllli- Ilies to the country. The blue blindshiave tbeen going up all week at the tlown houses in the fashionable rest-dential districts. Already the town 1has hec,,me very desolate socially, the

ctiv\ities of the few retalniing llom- t

hers of society being tcnfinedt to the tstta:trl htls, where in formal dilnner

p t:li'es Irc tde an evening :at the roof

t.gardoens.

The f;ishliunall le stmllmer resorts areinot anticip'ating a banner season this tyear. ''The proprietor of a large andi \\ll-known resort lotel on the New

England coast who\\l was in town thetlhIer dtao to engage his help for the 1

seatson slpklle rather dismally of theitoutlook for the stttnmaer business. He

said tlliht up to the first of May he hadrcct.ivted fe\ver than 4100 requests for thereserve of accommoUl dations at His hotelduring the season. In good years, hestated, the number of such requestsfrequently exceeded 1,000. Proprie-tors of nlany other lsutmmer hotels andbeach attractions have been heard re-cently to speak of the outlook interms of deep pIessitmism.

Thackeray's heroine solved theproblem of 1ow to lice on "nothing ayear." New York is filled with menwho just mIanage to get by on an an-ttnual income of $75,000 or thetreabotutts.

f When the lean years come and theirearnings drop below the average theyare forced to economize. For manyof them this summer means Economy

t with a big E. And that is why theyr are sending the wives .and the kiddies

off to Europe instead of to the shorefor the summer. Experience hastaught them that it is cheaper forthem to remain quietly in town, put-

ting up at the club or one of the lessprctentious hotels and sending thefamily across the big pond, than totake a cottage at one of the fashion-able suommter colonies or to put 'p thewhole outfit at one of the high-pricedbeach hotels, Experience has alsotaught them that New York is not al-together a disagreeable place In sum-mer for the man whose family Isaway.

The big managers are not at allsorry that "finis" has been writtento the tneatrical season for 1913-1914.It was rather a barren season artistl-cally alnd at the same time far fromsatisfactory from the viewpoint of theboxoffice. The failures outnumberedthe successes about 10 to 1. In theearly part of the season the New

York playgoers were offered as tempt.ing a Shakesperian menu as was everserved in this city. But the publicevidently didn't want Shakespeare andhis plays were taken off. Musicalcomedy, which has been the most suc-cessful line of attractions for severalyears, fell flat this season. Here andthere a comedy, a drama or a musicalshow managed to do a paying busi-ness, but as previously stated thefailures were many and the successesfew. Scores of headline actors andactresses who were playing in thelegitimate last fall, wound up the sea-son by doing two-a-day in vaudeville.

The most notable success of thetheatrical season in many respectswas that of J. Hartley Manner's com-edy, "Peg o' My Heart," with LauretteTaylor in the stellar role. This playwas the opening attraction at JohnCort's new playhouse in West Forty-eighth street on the night of Decem-ber 20, 1912. With the exception of

Good Fridays and Sundays the playwas presented every day during theperiod from its opening date untillast Saturday night. The run ofseventy-six consecutive weeks was notthe longest in the records of theAmerican stage, but it was by far thelongest that has been scored in NewYork in many years. But LauretteTaylor's achievement of playing 604consecutive times the title role in theManners comedy is a record that hasnever before been equaled. The near-est approach to it in this country wasMaude Adams's 299 times as LadyBabble in "The Little Minister" at theEmpire and Garrick theaters duringthe season of 1898-09.

The second annual internationalmoving picture trades exposition willbe held in the Grand Central palacenext week under the joint auspices ofthe International Motion Picture Ex-hibitors' association and the Independ-ent Exhibitors of America. The ar-rangements provide for a *series ofnovel attractions and entertainmentsto acquaint the patrons and owners ofmoving picture theaters with theprogress made in the business duringthe past year. Primarily a motionpicture attraction, it will feature aspecial studio in which will he shownthe rehearsing, playing, taking andIdeveloping of a play let and then thefinished picture on a screen will berun. The play will he enacted by wellknown players now engaged in movingpicture companies in this country, in-cli:ling John Bunny, Mary Pickford,Alice Joyce, Crane \Vilhur, EarleWilliams. Pearl White and LillianWalker. Three sere of moving 4ilec-ture coonlpanies and enterprises cldselyallied with the moltion picture busi-ness will have exhibits at the. show.In connection with the expositionthere will be a convention of ownersand managers of mntiving picture

houses in all parts of the UnitedStates and Canada.

The conviction' of Madelina Ferolaon am charge of first degree murder

was something of a slrlprise to thoseconnected with the district attorney'soffice, where the theory has long pre-valled that It is iminpssible to get a

jury of 12 men in itle county of NewYork to send anything wearing a

Ilettimoat to the electric chair. Nomatter how clear the case or con-

"incing the evidence, or perfect thechain of proof, it has heretiofore beenfiund useless to oexlet aI verdict ofmurder in the first dIgrce against a

woman in this county. And what istrule of New York conty is true ofalmost every other in the state asshown by the results of trials of wom-en charged with murder. In the 22

years, since the electric chair was sub-stituted for the h:cnginan's noose as

the legal method for taking the lifeof a convicted mnurderer, only two

women have died in the stpte of NewYork at the hands of the law. Yet

in that noritod scores I:he been tried

for nmurder-in numerous cases thefacts of the killing being admitted.The first electrocution of a woman

took place in Sing Sing on March 21,

1S99. The victim of the death chairwas 1 Mrs. Martha Place of Brooklyn,

who killed her young stepdaughter inir brutal manner, and later, the same

day, tried to butcher her husband withan axe. The second electrocution of

a woman was that of Mrs. MaryFarmer, who was put to death in Au-

burn prison 10 years after the first

electrocution. Mrs. Farmer was con-victed of m:rd,.ring Mrs. Sarah Bren-

ran, her intimt:te friend and neighbor,

in order te gain possession of her

property. Mrs. Brennan was hacked

to I ieces with a hatchet and her body

stuffed in um trunk.

, Woman Blames Strikers for Bloodshed Ie Washington, June 6.-Mrs. Helen L.e Grenfell of ColoraCo, to whom Presi-

Sdent Wilson granted an interviewe some days ago, is remaining in Wash-

ington to enlighten senators and rep-e resentatives on what she calls the real

situation in her state.Mrs. Grenfell is v;ce president ofs the Colorado Law and Order league,

Y composed largely of women, whosee purpose she says is to sustain the

state authorities so long as their ac-tions are in the interest of a proper

Sconduct of public affairs.'The conflict at Ludlow was a most

unfortunate affair," said Mrs. Gren-fell in an interview here, "but neverhas a tragedy been seized upon forsuch mnsrepresentation and defama-tion to the injury of the good nameof the state and of the reapulation ofits people for humanitarianism ands fair dealing. I am here because ourSorganization Wants the truth knownin the interest of the state."

Mrs. Grentell claims the strikerswere the aggressors at Ludlow. "Itshould be remembered," she said, "thatthe labor troubles extend over a widearea, including not only those aroundLudlow, but in Boulder county, 200 or300 miles to the north, and in Routt

I county, as far to the west. The south-ern fields, however, is the most ex-tended, and has been the scene of thelarger number of the conflicts.

Militia Preserved order."The southern strike had not been

long in progress when the collisionsbetween the strikers and the repre-sentatives of the mine operators be-came so frequent that it became nec-essary for Governor Ammons to callout the militia. Abort that time oc-curred the ambuscade at the littletown of La Veta, whi re four or fiveinoffensive miners were waylaid andkilled by the strikers because theywould not join the walkout. Manyother outrages had been committed bythe strikers, but it was not long untilorder was restored by the state troops.During the entire stay of the militia,about seven months, there were onlytwo deaths resulting fromi the strikein the entire southern strike zone.

In co-operation with the weatherbureau, forest rangers are to measuresnow depths in the western mountains.

Students of the Oregon Agriculturalcollege are working at the forest nur-sery on the Siuslaw forest. The ar-rangement is said to be mutually sat-isfactory since the students gain ex-perience in forest nursery practice andtheir assistance lowers the cost ofnursery work.

Manufacturers have found that redalder from tile Pacific coast is a suit-able material for clothespins. Aldermakes a white, smooth, springy pin.As a result of this fact, a clothespinfactory, said to be the first on the

ing of women and children belongingto the tent colony of strikers. I de-sire especially that it should be under-stood that .the statements I make arebased upon official investigations. Inthe main, the facts have been broughtout by the military commission, whichmade an inquiry on tlfe ground imme-diately after the battle.

Puts Blame on Strikers.

"One most important, and, to mymind, a controlling fact, is that the-day when the fight began there wereonly 32 militiamen at Ludlow, whilethere were about 500' armed strikersand strike sympathizers who had con-gregated there, many of them comingfrom New lMexico. These strikers werethoroughly armed and their tentsfilled with ammunition. Large num-bers of them were fresh from thefBalkan war and trained in the arts ofmodern war.

"In view of these facts is it rea-sonable to suppose that the troopswould have sought a clash? More-over, it should be borne in mind thatthe tent town was surrounded by rifle

1its previously built by the strikersand that the striking fighters . tookrefuge in these pits, notwithstandingby so doing they Lrought the tents inthe range of the firing.

"Under many of the tents therewere shallow cellars, which, owing tothe fact that they had been freshlyexcavated, many believe were made inview of a contemplated attack on themilitia. It was the oiccelancy of oneof the undertent excavations by.women and children that led to theirdeaths. The pit occupied by the 11little ones and two women was onlyfive feet deep, six feet wide and lessthan ine feet in length. When thebodies were taken out the next daynot a bullet scratch was found on anyof them and only one was burned,and that but slightly. IIow they mettheir death I do not know, but Dr.Curry, a physician living at Hastings,who examined the corpses, gave it ashis opinion at the court-martial thatthey were sruffocated by the heat andfoul air generated by their own bodies.

In treating cases of asphyxiation.about' four-fifths of the mixture pump-ed into the lungs is oxygen. In casesof drowning unadulterated air is used,because the person only requires airto displace the water which clogs thetubes leading into the lungs. It drawsout the water and pumps air.
