SCHOOL ROOM
DECORATION

The Canon City Art League,
organized by Friends in Council with
the assistance of the Women's clubs
of the city, is beginning work for
the benefit of our public schools such
as few small towns can boast.
School room decoration stands
second only to the public library
in value of its kind in the education
of our children. 1t is reference
library of art, which students in all
grades will find invaluable. Denver
schools stand at the head in this
movement in the United States.
Will it not be a pride and honor Canon
City to have her schools hold first
in Colorado?
The ladies of the clubs and the
school teachers are enthusiastic and
active in the work, as the attendance
and reports at the last meeting show
There is now ninety dollars in the
League treasury which will be ex-
pended in a few works of art and
placed in several districts, including
South Canon. The proceeds from
the benefit band and orchestra concert
to be given April a, will greatly
assist in the work, which will continue
during the summer.

THE NEW SEWER

The new sewer is progressing rap
idly. Several people have made con-

made every day. Nothing has taken
place to delay the work and it will
doubtless be completed on schedule
time. The new sewer will be one of
the best improvements ever made in
Canon City and the value of the pro-
perty which have sewer connections
will be greatly enhanced.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Independent telephone companies
are growing in favor all over the
country. Farming communities in
the middle states are fast being COW
cred with telephone lines. In many
counties in Illinois and neighboring
states almost every farm is connected
by telephone, and it is difficult to get
many miles away from the line
These lines have all been built by To-
cal and cooperative companies. The
cost has been very light, and it has
been borne by the farmers and the
townspeople. The telephone thrives
best and is most largely used in COM
munities that are free from big tele-
phone corporations. This is shown
to be true even in Colorado. Salida
has an independent telephone com
pany. 1t is town somewhat smaller
than Canon City, yet Salida has about
twice as many telephone subscribers
as have we.
Canon City is an excellent field for
an independent company. We have
a large section in Fruitmere, South
Canon and Lincoln Park that ought
to be covered. These people would
take readily to mutual company or
any arrangement that would give
them cheap phones. At present very
few of them are able to get phones
put in. 1t is natural that big cor
poration that is operated entirely for
profit should be conservative about
extending lines except into well pay
ing territory.

A Denver paper states that Mr..
Jos. H. Maupin, of this city, will be a
candidate for Democratic nomination
for the governorship next fall. Mr..
Maupin is not in the habit of telling
the RECORD his plans and political
aspirations, but we can guess that he
would not turn down such nomina-
tion. We rather expect to have a
Republican governor next year, but
if it must be Democrat we would
like very we'll to see Canon man
have the job.
We have thought it would be of
interest and benefit to the community
to have some discussion along the
line of care of the health and pre-

Last week measure was passed
in the senate making it crime to
kill or attempt to kill the president
of the United States. Inasmuch as
in some states no capital punishment
exists, and no law has ever been
framed protecting the president of
the nation, a universal demand has
sprung up since the assassination of
President Mckinley to have some
such measure enacted. The surprise
is that fifteen senators could be found
to vote against such bill. Senator
Patterson, of Colorado, was chief
among the opposition. He was, nat
urally supported by Tillman and We'll
lington.
Andrew Carnegie seems to be doing
more than Mark Hanna to get Colo

600 for public library he has helped
several other small cities out. and has
now given $4,000 to Pueblo and
Denver 100000 for libraries. There
used to be general impression that
when people read largely they had
little use for Democracy, and it may
be that Mr.. Carnegie has a deeper
motive for doing good than is seen
on the surface by putting so many
libraries into this stronghold of fusion

GOOD FOR HENDERSON.

The people of Raleigh send their con-
CALCULATIONS to the aldermen of Hen
derson That body was wise enough not
to permit two telephone companies to
have separate systems. Raleigh has
three, and, in addition to the heavy
burden it imposes, it is nuisance
that daily threatens the religion of every
business man in Raleigh. 1t is as alb
surd to have two or three telephone sys-
TENS as two or three postoffices. The
telephone has become an essential factor
in business. No city ought to have more
than one system, and the charges and
conduct ought to be regulated by law.
Is there no way for Raleigh to be de-
livered from the thralldom of paying for
three telephones and being annoyed by
three sets of bells ringing?

MUST HAVE EXPERTS.

Mr.. R. H. Edmunds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record. in the course of
his Grafton at the close of the technolo-
gical school in Atlanta, spoke strongly
for industrial and practical education
He said that unless the South develops
its now limited facilities for the many
white boys who would gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity, cts great ma
tural advantages will no more enable
them to win in competition with the
technical experts of other sections than
would a naturally strong position en-
able an army equipped with the old
muzzle-l loader guns to withstand an as
sault from one holding a position ma
turally weaker, but equipped with the
repeating rifle and the breech- loading
cannon"
The South is steadily giving this
practical education to hundreds of young
men. In North Carolina many, if not
most, of the sons of wealthy men are
being educated in industrial lines, and
are becoming leading forces in the in
dustrial life of the State.
