There is no necessity to ask the
man who spends whole lot for ad-
vertising. if it pays. His only ans
wer would be to wish that he had
more money to spend in that man
ner.
There are other towns and cities
in western Colorado that probably
have better streets. Those same
towns ana cities would much prefer
I 10 have the traffic that cuts up our
streets though. than to have their
I streets which need but few repairs
because OF lack of traffic This is
no invidious comparison, but only
10 make our people little more con
tented with our streets, which are
the real problem Of our municipal
life.
The council VIII. at a special ses-
sion in the course of two weeks. con-
slider the matter of the permanent
establishment of grades for the city.
These grades will be Incorporated
into an ordinance and become a law.
Those property owners on certain
residence streets who have been anx-
ious to secure streets parked would
do well to prepare their petitions for
such parking now and let them be
acted upon in cojunction with the con
sideration OF the grades to be per-
manently established
Many of the streets of the city.
viz Main street. from Seventh or
Eighth street; Seventh. north of
Main; Grand and ouray and many
others are Of sufficient width to
park. In fact it would be economy
for the city to grant parking priviI-
eyes upon these or any other streets
of the city, where there is ample
width for traffic and parking. Many
of the streets are entirely TOO wide
and IT Is a considerable problem for
the city to maintain them in re-
pair 1t is to be hoped that now.
that grading is to be permanently
established, If there is any interest
whatever in the attempt to beautlfy
the city that, the property owners
will petition the council to vacate
certain portions of the streets for the
purpose aforesaid.
II is problem in the minds OF
many students of the law, if our
statutes are not too weak upon the
question of punishment for acts of
hostility and incendiary speech
against this government While the
constitution guarantees free speech.
it never contemplated that every
malcontent might be permitted TO
proclaim against his country and it's
governing enactments. Few onensos
calculated to be considered inceud- I
iary are committed by native born
citizens. The majority of wild utter /
ances come from those who have
found an asylum In this free country. /
Too frequently too the native born
citizen permits his country to be
abused without taking ofense and
condemning those who without war
rant malign and attempt to uproot
our free institutions. 1t seems so
strange to our mind that here. where .
freedom of speech and action is al
most without limit that, even then
these thirsty anarchistic bloodhounds
Will helittle the country that gives
them shelter from countries from
whence they have been oppressed and
driven therefrom. Chicago is suffer \
ing now from Greek bomb throwers.
While their malice is leveled at their
own countrymen they use a means
which is weapon of towards and
murderers - bombs, The sooner
drastic action is taken. the sooner
will they learn to respect and regard
the law of their adopted country
