-ssThe Social Price. .

..The Social Price" is the title Of a sug
gestive article in the Outlook. The un-
DERIVING idea is that whenever in any eco
nomic process men or woman are not
treated as human beings should be, So
ciety as the whole has to pay for what
ever the individual may profit from his
failure to pay the laborer his full hire
In this age Of Intensity and rapidity men
are "scrap-heaped" just as locomotives
are. It is the American practice to run
a machine at full tilt as long as 1t will
stand it and then throw 1t away. An
American railroad manager said that
while English and German roads coddled
their engines and kept them in service
sometimes for forty years, and as
"switchers' for twenty more, the Amer
| lean plan is to hammer the road life out
Of an engine in FIVE or six years, use II
as a switcher for Ave or ten more and
then scrap iron the whole engine at once
| We believe 1t pays better.
This principle OF getting all you car
out Of a machine in a short time IS ap-
piled to men by the now almost universal
rules Of age limits Of employment. From
rs to 35 is the limit of age at which 8
man has much chance Of getting any new
employment, and rs is dangerously neal
the limit Of age at which men are no lon
i ger considered valuable. What becomes
OF this horde Of men that are too old 70

Do not tell me as a good man did to-
day, of my obligation to put all poor men
in good situations. Are they my poor?
/ tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist.
that I grudge the dollar the dime. the
cent give to such men as do not belong
to me and to whom do not belong. There
is class Of persons to whom by all spir-
itual affinity am bought and sold; for
them will go to prison If need be; but
your miscellaneous popular charities; the
education at college Of fools; the building
OF meeting houses to the vain end to
which many now stand; aims to sots, and
the thosandfold relief 5societfes-though l
confess with shame some times succumb
and give the dollar, 1t is a wicked dollar,
which by and by I shall have the manhood
to withhold.
What must do is all that concerns me,
not what the people think. This rule,
equally arduous in actual and intellectual
| life, may serve for the whole distinction
between greatness and meanness 1t is
the harder because you will always find
those who think they know what is your
duty better than you know it. It is easy
/ in the world to live after the worlds opin-
ion; it is easy in solitude to live after our
own; but the great man is he who In the
midst of the crowd keeps with perfect
sweetness the independence of solitude.

Emerson's .tSelf Reliance"
Man is tin1id and apologize. He is no
longer upright. He dares not say, Il

sage. He is ashamed before the blade OF
grass and the blowing rose. These roses
under my window make no reference to
former roses or to better roses; they are
for what they are: they exist with God
to-day. There is no time for them. There
is simply the rose; it is perfect In every.
moment of it's existence. Before leaf
bud has burst its whole life acts; In the
blown flower there is no more; In the
sleafess root there no less. It's nature, Is
satisfied, and it satisfies nature in all
moments alike. There is no time to It.

PUBLIC PROSECUTORS AROUSED
Colorado Springs Gazette.

Colorado Springs Gazette.
There is at least a melancholy satisfac
ton In connection with the corruption
which has been found to exist IN large
cities such as Minneapolis, st. Louis,
Pittsburg and others. Tt is found in the
fact that the public prosecutors seem to
be aroused to a sense of their duty to the
people and are doing their best to send
to the penitentfary these officials who
have proved faithless to the trusts re-
posed in them by their fellow citizens.
Such prosecutions. earnestly and sincere
" carried forward, will undoubtedly have
q, deterrent effect upon other officials
shaying similar opportunities for doing evil.

Stops his horse, and lists with delight,
Whilst his files sweep round yon Alpine

The Best News.

A magazine writer, discussing the ideal

paper will give the greatest prominence
and the most space to business news
Business, he says, is the first great in
terest Of Americans and. he expresses
surprise that the news Of the business
world has so long been neglected by the
dailies and left to the weekly and monthly
magazines.
Business news already comes near to

more and more prominence will be given
to it.. The, great conflicts of. our time,

lation of fortunes their dissolution, the
battles on the exchanges between the
great transportation and industrial or
CARNATIONS, the uniting Of isolated enter
prises into immense consultations, are
full of GREATNESS interest. Men are not
shot, stabbed and bayoneted in these
struggles, but business life is lost or
manned, and the combat of the exchange
and the office brings happiness and power,
to some and misery and futility to others.

Punishment is a, fruit that, unsupported,

Wants More w alter /.

The welrs demanded by the oity of
Victor and the ranchmen of the lower
Beaver creeks have been in place for
week, and according to the measure
ments taken by the officials of the
water department. Colorado Springs
is getting /, 392, 1897 gallons of water
daily less than it is entitled to.
The water rights owned by Colorado
Springs eptitle the city to approx
mately 1000, 900 gallons of water a day
from the West and Middle Beaver
creeks but the records just complet ed
show that the city is receiving but
2,607, 603 gallons.
This amount is all the present pipe
limo leading into Lake Moraine will
carry and for that reason the city
will not be able to use its full share
of water until the extension system
has been completed. When that is
finished the water from the West and
Middle Beaver creeks will be carried
through the st. John tunnel and
emptied There is yet one more weir
to be placed by the water department
which will be fixed at the mouth of
the ditch, which empties into Lake
Moraine and the results shown by this
weir Will be the most accurate test
of the amount of water taken into the
water system.
The record in the hands of Superin-
1t. e 4
meDt shows conclusively the ground
lessness of the complaints which have
been made by the Victor officials and
the Beaver creek rauchmep through
State Engineer Carpenter. The com
plants were made last spring during
short dry season which threatened
general water famine. There was at
that time not as much water coming
into Lake MoraIne as is now being
taken, which makes the case of this
city even stronger, Acting on these
complaints, State Engineer Carpenter
directed the placing of the weirs from
which the record has just been made
Al the time the order was given by
Mr. Carpenter he called attention to
the fact that the law required auto
matte measuring appliances to be used
when water was diverted from one
stream into another. That being
the case, with the city's water system
the water being carried from the West
Beaver to Middle Beaver and from
Middle Beaver into Lake Moraine, the
weirs were constructed and placed in
position
Records will be kept during the
next few weeks and the amount of
water taken will be reported to State
Engineer Carpenter, showing that the
city is getting less water than it is
entitled to. Colorado Spi ingsGazette,
