June most noteworthy fact about today's stock mar- wet was its firmness in the face of excessive dnllness. The dullness approached stagnation at considerable periods. But the prices were tenaciously held in today's market even with a d.emand so scanty as to be imperceptible for most of the day. A number of minor stocks and specialties gave some sympathetic support to the market hy their strength, which was unexplained in the news events. The Canadian Pacific group was a prominent example and was in demand both here and in The common surmise was that this movement was based on the crop prospects in the Canadian Pacific western territory.

Our own granger stocks, however, did not extend the upward movement of yesterday to any important degree. The continued quietude of Southern Pacific WHS in favor of the market. The quick subscription for the Burlington bond issue and the sales of the Rock Island notes made a good imjiression, although the Rock Island issue is recognized as an expedient against the present poor market for bonds. The tone of the bond market continued firm. Total sales, par value, $2,485,000.

Under our policy, which has lieen followed with tlie exception of four years from that time to this, the United States remains first in agriculture, but by leaps and hounds has diversified her industries until today we tire tlie greatest manufacturing on footstool. One-third of all the products that come from the factory are made in the United Slates by the operation and co-operation of American capital and American labor and skill. us make one other statement: Our product every year is greater than the entire combined mamifactured product of Great Britain, of Germany and of France. Where do we get the market for Ninety-seven per cent of this great the world's a market among ourselves in tho United States. And yet of this product last year we sold to foreign counttie.s—I am speaking now' of the manufactured more than 29 per cent ot onr total exports and our total exports made and make us the greatest expc.rting nation on earth.

by labor? Yes. le'tuie by labor that works less hours than any bor on earth. Made by labor that, conservatively stated, received one dollar and three-quarters as against the average of the competitive laborer the world, of one doilar. The Home Market. gentlemen, it is not a few rich men that make markets; nay, nay.

It is the multiplied millions on farm, in mine and in factory, that work today and consume tomorrow and with steady eniployment and good wa.ges give us, with SO.000,000 of people, a market equal to two hundred millions of consuming people anywhere else on earth. farmer buys the products. The artisan, being employed, bays the farmer product. The wheels round. You cannot strike one great branch of labor in tlie tepublic without the blovv reaching on all producers.

are you satisfied with the comparison from the manufacturing standpoint? If not, let me give you another illustration thjit will perhaps go home to the minds of men more quickly than the Illustration I have given. The Question of Strikes, says otir enemy. at the strikes you are having in this That is their strong suit, strikes, strikes. Now. what is a strike? The strike is an effort by the employer and the employe to agree how the profits should be divided.

If the emnloy.e don't get as much as he thinks he ought to get after arbitration has been tried he strike.s. A quarrel about something; the division of something. AVell, then, it is absolutely necessary to have a strike that there should be a profit. How many strikes were there under Gleveland, when the Democrats were running things? When money became scarce the profits were scarce. There is the whole story.

Law-Breaking the Exception. but outrageous things are done by the employer when he oppresses the laborer, and outrageous things aro done by some laborers when they 40 on strike. Yes, outrageous things are done in some of the best governed hurches and among those who do not belong to any cliurch. Once in a while a citizen commits larceny. Once in a while a man commits arson.

Once in a while a man is guilty of hohiicide. Why, the law is made to protect society against the man who will not obey the law and who makes war on his neighbors. A'es. there is law-breaking and di.sorder. I.aw-breaking in the formation of trusts, law-breaking at times in the organization of labor when it goes on strike.

But the great body of the American people that own the wealth are not for the trusts and the great body of labor, honest men who live on the of theii faces, are not for law-breaking in the strikes. The Sheet Anchor of Civilization. law, the sheet anchor of civilization, is strong enough to pull down the strongest, strong enough to curb the wicked and vicious. Strong, like the grace of God, to throw its arms about the weakest and the poorest and bring him under its protection. All must obey under the law.

Theodore Roosevelt is the national representative of law. He is, and will continue to he, without favor or affectation, the of law, supreme and universal in our borders. few words more and I will conclude. (lur government is of the peo- tile. It is divided into co-ordinate liranches.

The judges of the United States courts, who hold office for life or during good behavior, the executive the congress which consists of two co-ordinate house and the legislative bodies: they could not he otherwise, horn as they are of eighty million of people who are competent for self-government. In the seriate the tenure is for six years. The great popular body near to the people, that reflects the sentiment of the people, is chosen every two years. Now, then, you know under our form of government the party in power is held responsible. The function of the minority is to put it on good behavior by heing ever ready to appeal to the people.

Let me tell you something. If our government has a fault it is that after an election one party may be placed in power on only one leg. It may have the it may have the presidency; it may have the house. It goes along on crutches. you want to hold it responsible for public sentiment I had the power I tvould so change our constitution that at every quadremdal election the party that received the popular approval should go fully into power and let the public have a government according to the sentiment expressed the ballot box.

Blit we have not got it quite that way. AVhat is the next best thing? You like Theodore Roosevelt? Yes. Stronger than his party, he will he triumphantly elected. Do you like the senate of the United States? ATes. Its condition cannot he changed in November.

It could be changed at the end of four years, electing a third every two years. like the electoral college of the great popular party. 386 strong, coming with the warrants of attorney from the peoide to cast their votes for your oandidtUes if you api'rove of them, if you approve of the Republican policies. A'ou are short-sighted if you refuse a working majority in the house of representatives. because you cannot keep a Republican house without it.

Present and Future. am done. I have already detained you longer than I expected. In conclusion let me again say that we are proud of the present, we are proud of the future. The twentieth century is to bring more of good or evil to the human race than the nineteenth century brought.

Under what party banner will you enlist? Under tliat of the reactionist? Under that of the people who sit still or tear down? Or will you take service with the party of Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and Harrison and McKinley and Roosevelt and hcii: us march on to victory? to the living in the presence of the dead, we have tears for them and admiration for the great things that they accomphsned but the glory of our race, of our civilization, is that each generation works out its own salvation and marches forward to success and the betterment of the condition of mankind, and as they drop into the grave their successors move on to the stage of action, holding fast all that the past has given its and going in turn a generation's march further on for the benefit of the race and of BOY SHOT DOWN (Continued from Page 1.) scene and told about seeing the shot fired, Marshall was later tjansfprred to the county jail. Admits "Was With Women. AA'hen the reporter asked Marshall where he had been during the night, the prisoner answered; been out two women." Sam Marshall, the prisoner and accused, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Marshall of South Nevada avenue.

The father is merchant policeman and has borne a splendid repiitaiioa as an officer and as a man. During Mr. MarshaH's illness, the son was alfowed to cover his run for him and it was then the youth became familiar with a gun. He always wore a big .44 revolver after his fir.st experience as substitute for his father. The boy has given his father much trouble on account, of his tendencies to recklessness and rasih- ness; Was Reckless With Gun.

The youth shot his own brother some months ago while the latter was trying to play a joke on the family. He could hardly be accused of wrong in tliat case because he supposed there somebody trying to rob the house, but that action is recalled as showing hLs over-eagerness to draw a gun. Oa one or two occasions, the youth has fired in the early morning hours, stating that he had run across burglars. nothing ever came out of the reports it is generally believed that Marshall shot hts revolver just because he had one to shoot. WILSON TELLS STORY OF HOW BAXTER WAS SHOT.

Frank Wilson, the companion of the murdered hoy, who was with him at the time of the shooting, was seen last night at the rjuh stables, 1904 North Tejon where he Is working. He said that in company with Baxter he had gone down to the park in the early part of the evening to hear the band concert, the close of the concert, the two were walking towards Tejon street to take the north, bound car for the stables. was walking on the left side of he said, am rather deaf in the left ear. AVe saw two women sitting in the grass, and Baxter made some remark, hut didn't catch it; I think It was something to the effect that somebody was sitting there. Irnmediately a man, whom I had not noticed hefore, jumped up and called to Baxter Thinking that they probably knew each other.

I walked on. Soon Baxter called me hack, saying something to the effect that the man was pulling a gun on him. went hack and Mar.shall had his hand on his hip pocket. I told I.ynn that he had better come away if the other fellow had a gun. Dared Not Fight Lynn.

said, nothing hut a dirty coward pull a He seemed to think Marshall did not have a gun or tiuit if he did, it was till a bluff about using it in such ti place. Marshall remarked something to the effect that if you don't think I've got a gun, start something and Baxter said. 'A'ou put that gun away and go through in a and started to raill of his coal. Quick a flash. Marshall pulled the gun.

pushed it against left side and shot. Fulled Gun on "Wilson. stranger wa.s there and we started to grab Marshall. He then shoved tlie gun not two feet from my face and told me not to interfere or 1 would get shot. too.

I put out the fire that had caught on Lynn's coat. soon as lie was sliot, Baxter ran behind one of the trees and said, dirty coward, shot Ihe shooting, ran towards Nevada avenue, hut 1 see where lie went. We took Baxter across the street, into Monroe's drug store, where he waited about five minutes for the ambulance. He was perfectly conscious all the time and wanted to turn hack and have it out with Marshall. I don't believe the two men were acquainted.

Baxter swear one word during the wliole talk. It hardly seemed thirty seconds from the time he was called back until he had been shot. Women Dressed in Black. know who the two women were. They were young girls and dressed in black.

As soon as Marshall called Baxter hack, one of them rose and walked off. The other soon followed, before the sliot was fired. They went towards Nevada avenue, the same direction that Marshall took after he had fired the shot. the ambulance had taken and could do nothing for him, I returned to the BAXTER WAS REGARDED AN EXEMPLARY YOUTH Lynn Baxter is the son of F. A.

Baxter who conducts a popcorn wagon tit the park entrance. He came to Uolo- rado Springs about a year ago from Peytonville, owing to poor health, and that time has been living with his father and mother and younger brother at 321 East Cucharas street. Mrs. Baxter stated last night that the young man was 17 years old and was employed at the Club stables. She said that her son was nearly always home early in the evening, hut that last night he remained at North park to hear the band concert.

She and her husband and younger son had left the park hut a few moments before the shooting and unaware of ihe shooting until they reached their hcflne and received the message from the hospital. The young man is said to have always been of a quiet disposition and not at all quarrelsome and was not known to have any enemies. There are two older brothers in the Baxter hoth of whom are employed on railroads in California. They are coming to Colorado Springs on a visit in a few weeks, and it was their intention (o take their brother Lynn back to the coast with them and get him a position on the railroad. The young man eagerly anticipated his trip to California.

Another Eyewitness. Herbert a youth who lives near the Baxters, was near Lynn Baxter when he was shot. He said last night: he.ard some words but the only words 1 could when (his name is Ijynn but we call him 'Slim') Baxter started to pull of his coat and said: can clean him out in a Then Marshall pulled his gun and fired. Slim walked behind a tree. Marsh.ol! was going lo shoot again hut Slim said: me know Sam Marshall and I know he fired the shot.
