COLORADO AND IT'S BIGGEST
WORKER.
A sensible Editorial from II. Denver Republican

When an institution like the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company
has a business of $22, 800, O45. .82
in a year and when it is the
biggest workshop and biggest
business house in Colorado, the
state can know very we'll that it
has been having good times else
its biggest worker could not have
handled So, 7O5, 0N. "a more money
than it did the year before. Of
this enormous sum the company
paid for wages and supplies in
producing the articles mined and
made, $19, 490, 1859, leaving for
interest on investment, to replace
its worn out machinery and for
profits, So, 7O5, ,028. "a, so that only
a small proportion of the bust
ness done was left as a recon-
pense for the undertaking. When
one considers the risk taken and
the years when nothing that can
be reckoned as profit is made,
the sum in this year of pros
perity is not to be viewed as ex-
cessively large nor does it bear
out the anarchist and socialist
who would excite our envy by
advancing the thought that the
corporations are getting more
than their share. It is poor
individually owned store, shop
or factory or a poor labor that
does not profit as much in pro-
portion to the investment or the
risk taken.
The business of the C. F. & l.
company is largely with other
corporations. Its dealings with
the people direct are small. It's
consumers are railroads, smelters
and the larger institutions of the
state, themselves operated by
corporations. It retails some
coal, but only an insignificant
amount of that sold in the state
for household purposes. Its net
earnings from retailed ccal were
but a few thousand dollars. It
consumes more than half the
coal it mines. The great increase
in its business for the year was
due, therefore, to the fact that
the other corporations Of the
The Delta independent., 1906-08-17

If Bill Smith, who works at
the brick yard. or Tom Jones,
who does such odd jobs as he
happens to get, published annual
reports of their earnings, from
them the public at large would
find out just as conclusively what
measure of prosperity the state
is enjoying as it may from the
statements of the large corpora
tions. But neither Bill nor Tom
publishes a statement. The cor
porations sometimes do. If we
could know that in the past year
Bill worked 314 days at $3.50 a
day, whereas a year ago he had
only put in 263 at 81. 40, we would
understand that the conditions
were just about twenty per cent
better for business last year than
in the preceding one. Since such
data is withheld we are forced to
make our deductions from those
which are published. Therefore,
such as that of the Colorado &
Southern railroad given in Tues
days Republican and that of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company,
given in the News of yesterday
become important in aiding us to
get a general view of the COM
mercial situation in the state.
Whatever other view of the
corporation question we may now
and then try to take, we know
that they can only prosper when
tbs people to whom they look for
business are prospering. They
are in reality nothing more than
individuals corporated entities
doing on a large scale things
no one man could do. They are
integral parts of the community,
working to get ahead, toperform
a certain task and do a certain
business the same as any other
worker. Sometimes they are
rich and sometimes they are
poor; some lose fortunes, some
make them; sometimes they are
out of work and out of business
and other times have more work
than they can do or more business
than they can handle, the same
a. individuals.

AB c's IN JAMAICA.

What visitors Found Children Re-
citing on That Island.
Away back in the heart of Jamaica
we found a tiny schoolhouse, and, hav-
ing a desire to visit a native school, we
descended from our open carriage and
raped upon the door.
Just then the loud changing Of a deep
toned bell in a tree near by almost
startled us from the steps, and then out
dashed a troop of children Of all ages
and colors of complexion from a light
shade of tan to a dusky black.
1t was recess, we were told by the
pleasant faced colored man who proved
to be the teacher and who showed us
into the schoolroom and after much
searching found a couple Of empty
chairs for us to sit upon. The room
was partly filed with long benches,
with a continuous line of desks in front
OF them. After a short time the boys
and girls trooped in to take their accus-
toned seats, at the ringing Of the great
bell in the tree.
As there was no class which we de-
sired to hear more than another the
smallest children were told to repeat
the alphabet. This they did while sit
ting on their hard seats.
Here is their alphabet word for word,
as afterward procured from a native
lawyer, for we could not understand
fully every word as the children pro-
nounced them:

No doubt a person can run thlng

True. some people do become regular

nursued in moderation, with, common
sense can be made of a great deal OF
use especially to the person confined

drives from his mind all business cares

Change and variety in our daily rou-

that the Duke of Wellington never

knew very little of the playing fields
at Eton. 1t is quite true that he was
for a brief period at the famous school,
but when his mother discovered that
he was making no progress whatever
there, either at games or at lessons, he
was removed at about the age Of fif'
teen and sent to another school In
Brussels, where he learned most OF
what he knew. At least a score Of the
