Franklin's paper the statesman., 1907-01-25
On the Subject Of Eatinu.

Eating not pleasant, not an elevat-
Ing subject? No subject under the
blue canopy. no subject to be found
between the covers Of the fattest en-
cyclopaedia. is more worthy Of the
deepest and the highest and most sus.
tanned thoughts OF man. And probably
no other subject receives half the at.
tention which is given to eating. Moth
ing has been more important In the
progress Of the race than the additions
to the variety OF mans food. In his
primitive state. mere clam eater, he
was hardly superior to the beasts that
perish. When he became a hunter,
seeking the strong meats of wild
game, he developed new qualities, ex-
panded Intellectually and gained In
energy, enterprise and endurance.
Then came the pastoral and agricul.
tural age, with an acquired taste for
vegetation. Every advance has been
on the heels Of something new to eat.
To-day the teeth Of man declare him
to be omnivorous, though vegetable
food Is still heavy tax on his powers
OF digestion. He lacks those multiple
gastric arrangements by the aid Of
which the COW. for example, is able to
subsist on vegetable food alone. This
lack Senor Santos will discover and
deplore long before he shall acquire
that meditative cud, the mastication
OF which gives to the COW the serenity
and repose which is the object Of the
Spaniard's grazing-Atlantic.

Growing Old.

A little more gray in the lessening hair,
Each day as the years go by;
A little more STOPPING in the form.
A little more dim in the eye
A little more faltering Of the step
As we tread life's pathway Ger,
And q little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more haltlng OF the gait.
And a dullness of the ear:
A growing weariness Of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading Of hopes, and ambitions, too.
A fatering In life's quest.
And little nearer every day,
To = sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness In life
As the dear ones pass away;
bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing way.
A little further from toll and care,
A little less way to roam:
A dra wing near to peaceful voyage
And happy welcome home.

Greater Colorado is the watchword

Greater Colorado is the watchword
of the commercial organizations and
the individual boosters all over the
state. 1t is wonderful to consider the
resources of the state and compare
their possibilities with what has been
actually accomplished. The great cor
rorations of the country, alive to this,
have poured money in steady stream
to develop, and now home capital is
also alive and taking hold as never
before to make this the premier state
In the quality and variety Of its in
dustries, though it will not support as
vast enterprises in particular lines as
some other states.
1t is up to the colored citizens to
be hangers on, or real workers. 1t Is
for them to be pointed out as para
that come from the labor of white cit
liens only, or themselves to take hold
and do in proportion to their ability
the work of empire building. We have
stood idly by and seen the mineral
wealth of the state developed; we
have seen the agricultural land turn
ed from a desert into paradise, and
had no share; and now, when the fur
ther development Of these and the
projecting of manufactures is to be
accomplished, we owe it to our future
to do our part.
Captains of industry begin in the
ranks and persevere until promotion
makes them the leaders they are. We
may have to begin far down, but eth.
er the Negro race is inherently infer
ior, as Tillman says, or we can estab-
llsh ourselves the same as whites do.
Let us wake up and begin now. Let
us risk our labor and capital the same
as other Coloradoans do, and then we
can demand and will receive the same
treatment as is accorded them.

Minority Members Of the Citi.
zenS' Advisory Committee
Protests Against Location
speeIal % The avenIng journal


MILFORD, July le-There is a great
hubhub here over the selection OF a
site for the proposed Federal Building
in this town. the government having
appropriated $4,000 for the structure.
A committee Of citizens was appoint
ed at a town meeting to act in an
advisory capacity and recommend a
site for the structure. A majority Of
the committee selected ground on
Walnut street. opposite the residence
Of Hon. Joseph z. Holland. but this
was displeasing to DR.. George w. Mar
shall and John b. Smith. two members
Of the committee. and they preferred
another location.
AS a result it IS said a protest has
been filed by the minority members Of
the committee with the authorities at
Washington against the selection Of
the site. They want the government
to wait untn another term of Congress
before the location is finally selected,
and there is also a hope that the gov
ernment appropriation COR the building
can be increased.
For the purchase Of the site $4,000,
according to the present plan, is to be
expended.

OF course the stock market is active; Of course

rumors want to boom to the skies has its price I;

There will be no war.
The days Of wars between civilized nations are

Japan is enlightened nation and owes her
enlightenment principally to the United States.
There is no deep-seated hereditary race hatred

quickly at latent heat locked within the confines

THEY STOOD FIRM.


IT HE Board OF Water Commissioners admin
i stered yesterday afternoon at their ses-
sion singing and deserved rebuke to the City
Executive Board which at its star chamber ses-
sion decided to advise the commissioners to-
Withdraw their objection to the Street and Sewer
Department granting permission to the Della
ware Water Company to lay pipes in the streets
OF the city
The Water Commissioners deserve the thanks
OF the people for their attitude and Commits
sioner Knox, who without hesitation stated his
views, by his initial action has scored heavily in
popular favor.
The case was so plain that it has been difficult
for us to understand why the Mayors Cabinet
behind closed doors, made such recommenda-
ton that so clearly was not in the interests of
the people.
In view of the positive stand of the Water
Commissioners, it now seems almost inconceiv-
able that the Street and Sewer directors should
grant the permission asked and thus slap CO.
ordinate branch of the city government the
Water Commissioners in the face. The Water
Commissioners are the most competent to speak
upon this question Their action should dissolve
any doubts that the Street and Sewer directors
might feel in this matter.
The rebuke Of the Water Commissioners leaves
the City Executive Board and its secret actions
in most ridiculous plight.
The Water Commissioners gave the very SEN
sible reason for their decision-that other private
concerns, il a precedent is established, might
want the same privileges that it was proposed
to grant to the Delaware Water Company This
one reason alone is sufficient TO justify the re-
fusal of the Water Board to do as the Mayors
Cabinet desired.
THE JOURNAL has repeatedly pointed out
that the contingency that the Water Board feared
might arise and, therefore it is a satisfaction to
know that the Water Commissioners so prompt
ly acted as they did. They deserve credit-al
three Of them-for declining to be party to
scheme to destroy the integrity of the city's CON
troll OF water, and we feel confident that their
course is approved by those who give the mat
ter even a passing consideration,
Happily the City Executive Board has de-
cided that its business in the future shall be con-
Quoted in the open. Here is one scheme that for
the time being has failed at least The plan to
permit private water company to compete with
the city has been thwarted so far as the Water
Commissioners are concerned. They have been
faithful TO the trust reposed in them. Their rec
ord is clear. They at least are free from the ma
npulations and Vaccinations that have been
working for some months past to undermine the
city's water system.
1t is to be hoped that the Street and Sewer di-
rectors will display the same courage and fidelity
TO duty as the Water Board has exhibited

CONGRATULATIONS

hUR congratulations to Bishop Monaghan,

Wilmington, on his safe arrival home from his
visit to Rome. The Bishop, after paying
his respects to Pope Plus X, which every Roman
Catholic bishop must do once in every ten years.
went on a sightseeing tour, which is the usual
part OF a European program To the Pope the
Bishop made his report of the condition Of his
diocese and aattering one it was The Roman
Catholics of this diocese have reasons to con-
graduate themselves over their spiritual growth
the increase of churches, schools and converts
all of which have been directed and propagated
by the Bishop who is a hard worker and good
hnancer, as we'll as an able churchman. His
safe return to his see must surely be a source Of
comfort to those that look up to him for spiritual
succor. We hope that the visit to the Eternal
City, the people met, the places visited, the
things seen and heard shall contribute TO the
Bishops tenure of life.
