SOME PEOPLE WILL KICK

There are people in this world who
are ever looking for something about
which to kick. If it rains, SHOWS, blows
or the sun shines and the crops grow,
they kick. If fellow asks them to
pay what they owe, they kick; if a
man gives them his support, they still
kick because the man does not empty
his poke. book to them; in fact, they
see NO good in anything, unless they
are getting patted on the back continu
ally.
An example of chronic kicking may
be found in the Avalanche. 1t is a
experimentation kicker, and no matter
what the vast majority may think,
the Avalanche still kicks.
OF late the Avalanche has been vent
ing it's spleen on President Parks and
Secretary Overlook of the board of
trade. OF course, We all know the
motives are purely selfish and that no
foundation can be found for the Av-
alanche's wind jjammnig. 1t is just
as true that the businsss men of Glen
wood know that Editor Holmes has not
attended a meeting of the board Of
trade during the past year, and it is
daubtful if he attends during the pres
ent year. There may be some few in
Glenwood who look upon him as. being
a party to every good thing started or
going in the town.
Just why Henry should pretend 10
know what has or what has not been
done by the board of trade is not
known, but every time he prints such
stories as appeared recently he proves
himself ignorant on the subject. He
does not even know that the secretary
gets his instructions from an executive
committee. For his enlightenment, we
quote II. W. Smith, member of this
committee. He said: "Overbeck has
made us a good secretary, and I want
70 see him reelected. He has done his
work well and has always been ready
when the committee wanted him.
think he should be paid more money,
though, for the work. People don t
have any idea how much work he has
done during the past year"
This statement was made at the last
meeting Of the board of trade, and
seems to have expressed the opinion Of
the 125 business men present as there
was no dissenting vote to the re-eiect1un
of either Mr.. Parks or Mr.. Overlook.
The Avalanche may have been a pow
er at one time but it is fast losing its
grip. The peop.e know or are learning
that the sheet will take back anything
for the sake Of six-line pay local,
or ten-ineh double column display. The
past year has been a hard one for
Henry to travel. His desires have not
been granted on many occasions For
instance, Henry does not like C. ].
Hughes, Jr.; ye. G. J. is our United
States senator; he hates B. 7. Napier,
but Barney closed him with a display
ed, and little job work; Henry dis
Likes Hon. E. T. Taylor, but Taylor
still climbs the political ladder; ehe So
lection Of Mr.. Taylor as honorary pres
hent Of tho board of trade was gall
and wormwood to the Avalanche man;
the selection Of C. C. Parks and H. G.
Overb, eek put more kinks in Henry's
spinal column, while nothing could hav.
been more displeasing to him than the
action toward appointing a committee
to meet Mr.. Pinchot at Grand Junction
today, and unless he quits his kicking
and gets In tho Glenwood boos. wagon
he will be completely overwhelmed ere
another year rolls round.
just as well be good, Henry. The
board Of trade will do what it believes
ID best for the city. Croakers to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
