CHANGING THE HYMN.

One stanza of our national hymn America" begins Our Fathers God.r the evident reference being to the God of our fathers. and not until recently has any one excepted to the expression, so far as we know. It remained for the ad- vanced feminine thought of this new century to find something in 1t to rebel against. and Rev. Anna Shaw has taken the lead in the movement. At recent convocation of female suffragists she de- clared that the word fathers" as used in the song, was discrimination against wo- men which they should not submit to in silence. Therefore she made a motion, which was carried. that hereafter in all books used by them the line should read: Our Father. God, to Thee" thus reliev- ing it of any seeming reflection on her sex. or of slight towards them.
 As stated, the motion was adopted and hereafter the literature used by the suf- fragists will not contain the obnoxious re- fection on the assumed equality of the sexes. Rev. Anna carried her point. but we must smile at the weakness and hy- percriticism which actuated these wo- men. The expression, "God of our fath- CTS" occurs frequently in the Bible, and Dr. Smith, the author of the hymn, mere ly changed the order of the words with out changing the meaning, and without any reference to sex. No sane person would imagine that he intended to inti- mate that our God is not the God of male and female alike. or that he sup posed he was giving one any preponder- ance over the other. And he might as The Manchester Union observes, if he were now living, tell Mrs. Shaw that the fathers embrace the mothers" but she probably wouldn't be able to see the joke.
 It occurs to us that Rev. Anna has either gone too far or stopped too soon. If she objects to the expression in the song she can with equal propriety object to 1t in the Bible as well. What she needs to do Is to start propaganda in favor of eliminating from Holy Writ each word or expression that. either really or appar- ently, places the man superior to the wo- man. This would be consistent, at least, whatever we might say of it's sense, Is 1t not really strange that presumably sensible people will be so absurd?

DESERVING OF
LOCAL SUPPORT.

We believe that the Royal Gorge
Coal Company ought to have a liberal
share OF the local trade.
This company is entirely local con-
cern. Every dollar it makes goes to
help Canon City people, and every dol
lar 1t spends goes to Canon City peo-
pie.
The Royal Gorge has put something
like $4,000 into this field and It is pay
ing out for labor from 81, 500 to 1900
every month IL buys all its supplies
of Canon City people.
You remember last year when Canon
~as threatened with coal famine the
Royal Gorge supplied you with coal,
putting its entire output into this city
At the regular price instead OF selling
IL to outside concerns at an advance
The Royal Gorge saved Canon City
people much Inconvenience and thous-
ands of dollars by this fair treatment.
The Royal Gorge mine 10 tho only
home-iinanced concern that is Appeal-
ing for local business, and for the
reasons mentioned Il should have your
CO operation.
The Royal Gorge coal is the best
burning coal In the market. Expert
tests show that IL has the greatest
heating qualities OF any mined In the
county.
Don't take our word for It, or your
dealers, but give II fair trial. You
will find that you can save money by
