GIVE US A SHOW

II would seem that automobile ac-
cidents here are becoming altogether
too frequent; away out of proper
tion to the number of machines used
So far as we know fairly good care
has been exercised by the drivers of
machines at all of the three accidents
that have happened on the main
streets OF the city recently, but evil
IDENTIFY not care enough, for the TACT
still remains that two women and
one man have been more or less SER
iously hurt.
The fact that the accident in each
case was probably caused by the in
jured party losing his or her wits at
the critical moment does not cause
the broken bones to mend any the
quicker The question is what can
be done to minimize the danger to
pedestrians on the streets?
1t has been fairly well proven
now that people will get ratified,
when they hear the honk-honk OF a
big automobile horn within two feet
of their ears, ana that likely as not
they will jump in the wrong direct
ion. 1t is barely possible then, that
it is up to the drivers to exercise
little more care. We do frequently
see a machine coming down the
streets. crowded with teams and ped
estrians, the machine running three
or four times as fast as the regular
current of traffic. If the driver is
lucky and it isn't the pedestrians
day for getting ratified, the thing
passes off in fine shape, but the
moment there is slip in either one
or the other of these cogs there is
collision, and often broken bones,
but never the bones of the chaffeur.
Now let's have little more care
full driving, or arrange it so that the
unautomobiling public stands little
chance as against the automobiling
contingency.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK IMPROVING
Review OF Past Six Months by Henry
Clews-Results Are Good

In "A review of the first six months
of the year Henry Clews, the New
York financier, expresses good deal
of confidence. He says:
The first six months OF the yea:
have closed, showing degree OF re-
covery from the October panic which
fully equals, if not surpasses, all
reasonable expectations. 1t has been
period of somewhat painful con-
valescence, but the Improvement has
been pronounced and substantial. and
If sustained for the remaining six
months of the year, will go far to-
ward obliterating the effects OF last
years disasters.
Take it all in all the next three
months may be expected to snow
decided increase in railway earnings,
due to the movement OF the crops.
Among the farmers of the country
conditions are about upon the aver
age, with spots here and there that
are too wet, and others too dry: but
a fair crop will be made all over the
country.
The improvement in the railways
will be reflected in all other lines OF
trade, for as matter of fact the
roads themselves are first to feel the
revival of business.
There is no longer any serious
doubt as to the outcome of the elect
ion, and matters which have been
held in abeyance may as we'll pro-
ceed as to wait five or six months
more. BY the time the holidays
come the business conditions OF the
country should be about where they
were when the money panic struck
the country last October.

REV. DOANE AND THE BOYS
All Are On Picnic and Camp Out
at Wylie's Grove

The summer camp for the boy
isn't very numerous thing in this
part OF the country, although 1t has
attained great and deserved pop
ularity farther east Rev. John
Doane. pastor of the Congregational
church. however, has instituted one
here and the favored lads are the
members of his boy choir. Fifteen
boys who can sing. Rev. Doane. his
son. Leroy, and MIR. Demorest left
Thursday morning for Wylie's grove
where the camp has its being. Here
the boys have all the thrills of q real
camping-out expedition and besides
are carfully looked after by the
grown-ups. It is roughing 1t with
the rowdyism eliminated. There are
five tents in the camp and the boys
have regular routine of work as
well as play. They do their own cook
ing and all the work incident to
camp life. 1t is great thing for
the boys who were fortunate enough
to be incluued in the party and makes
them envied of all their less fOrtu-
nate contemporaries.

While they were digging the old coy
ote came and sat a short distance q

1t was not supposed that there
were any coyotes short of ten miles

WHAT MEANS THE NOISE?

Inconsistency, thou art politica
convention.
Was there ever such demonstra
ton heard of or seen before as ina
which took place at the democratic
national convention in Denver Wed
nesday afternoon? For nearl!
an hour and a half the vast gather
ing of humanity was beside itself
mad with enthusiasm or joy, or hope
or despair or whatever it might be
that impelled those people to the
most extravagant exhibition OF
frenzy:
And what was it that touched Off
that dynamite magazine OF enthu-
siasm? 1t was the mention OF the
name OF Bryan; Bryan the twice de-
feated candidate; Bryan the third
time candidate for the presidency;
Bryan the household word of rich
and poor alike, who SO far has not
proven that he would do one solitary
thing to better the conditions of the
American people, because he has not
had the chance. But that is not be-
littling Bryan as man, for we be-
lieve he is one of the strongest, best,
most honest and most useful men
of the country, and worthy OF as
much praise and support as the peo-
pie can or will give him. But grant
ing that he could do for us the
many things he has said he wanted
to do, if made president, would
there be such material change in
our condition? If we were living
in darkest and most despotic Russia
and such man as Bryan suddenly
appeared among US as an emancipa-
tor, there might be an excuse for
the people going wild over him, but
in free America and-this is where
the inconsistency of the Denver con-
vention comes in-in free America,
where we are so in the habit of hav-
| ing things very much as we like
them, such excitement passes our
understanding. Chances are, that n
some fellow; some Utlander should
have had the nerve to tell any one oi
the frenZied delegates, that this was
not the freest, the grandest, the
richest, the best country on the face
of the earth right at this moment
Bryan or no Bryan, Roosevelt or nc
Roosevelt, that Utlander would have
been laid flat.
Then, does it not sometimes lool
as though the best use to which
these big political conventions car
be put is to furnish vent for our en-
thusiasm; time and place where W.
can let out the big noise, for which
the Fourth of July, Christmas o.
New Years have become entirely tot
small?

GREELEY'S MANUFACTURES

Did it ever strike our good people
that Greeley is becoming quite a
manufacturing center? If it hasn t
yet struck them, it should, for it is
the truth.
Seven years ago practically moth
ing was made here except flour. To-
day the manufacturing industries
are OF a dozen different varieties, and
scme OF them on pretty big scale
too. That is industrial growth keep
ing pace with agricultural growth.
wncn considering the possibilities OF
Greeley's future.
Ills summer two new Industries
have been added, one of them, the
new canning factory, we know will
become great factor in our growth
The other is wire fence manufact.
ur,ns pant. This is not a big insti.
tutirn as yet, but it has good possibi.
lities in 4. and it is a step in the
right direction.
We are too apt to think, wher
manufacturing for Greeley is men
toned, that there is nothing that car
be made here, that cannot be made
as cheaply, or perhaps more so il
some other place. But the fact re
mains, that we are getting the in
dustries. A lite vigorous pushint
by the business people here will brin,
still more.
