LOCOMOTIVE. AUTO. NAN.

SOSVHOAiVks AVAOs HANs
Do you know how much power is
wasted in locomotive?
The best locomotive made uses only
8 per cent Of the power developed BY
the coal burned under its boilers.
Nincty-hve per cent is wasted.
And do you know that the average
man today wastes that much mental
and physical power?
The psychologists say so.
There is not so much difference IL
men as regards latent power. or abil.
ity. The difference Is to be found,
very largely. in one man knowing bet
ter than another how to use the power
he has.
To put 1t in another way:
In automobile parlance. the man who
gets the most out of himself keeps his
clutch in high speed. He knows how
to connect with his power, how to
utilize the driving force Of his engine
Watch the chauffeur.
Before he starts his machine he
makes careful inspection. He adjusts
levers. scrapes spark plugs. notes the
radiator. tests the clutches. fills the
water tank, oils the friction parts, in
fates the tires, tries his engine, and
then
"Honk! Honk. Honkw
The engine starts. the clutch /
thrown In, and in a few revolutions
his car is going full speed.
! He Is first sure of his power and
then he connects with it in a way t.
| get most out Of it without hurting tn,
| machine.
A man must do likewise.
He must carefully adjust all TIT
working machinery of his mind ant
body so as to produce power. Thei
when the big task comes and tn
stress is upon him, he throws in tn
clutch and makes full speed-and i
careful not to burn up his machine.
And
Just as the chauffeur is sometime
obliged to change his clutch from higl
| to low speed in order to climb lon
hill, so must the man slow up unde
difIiculty-but keep going. Once u
the hiIf, he reverses to high speed.
Ninety-f1ve per cent of waste is to
much. That is why the locomotiv
must give way to the electric motto
engine.
So of the man who wastes tina
much. He cannot compete with til
man who can use 40 or so per cent Q
his power.
Great men know how to use thei
power. They get into gear with tn
infinite forces in themselves

MARTIN AND TAYLOR COMING

County Chairman Seaton has
received the promise of Congress
men Taylor and Martin to be
present at the Democratic county
convention which will be held at
Delta during the first days of
September. Both IF til e e
staunch friends of the people who
have made such enviable records
in congress will deliver public ad-
dresses on that occasion and it
will be one of the best opportuni-
ties that we of the North Fork
will have of meeting and hearing
our distinuished representatives
this year. A special train will be
run from Paonia on that occasion,
with the nominal rate of 81 for the
round trip, returning after the
reception and ball, at IL p. m.
Make up your mind to go. 1t is
the cheapest rate ever obtained
from this point and a splendid
reception will be accorded the
people from this end of the county
when they arrive at Delta.

WILL THE PEOPLE RULE?

Hon. M. d. Vincent has re-
turned from his speech making
tour of the state and has ex-
pressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the results OF his canvass.
He was we'll and even enthnsias-
tically received by the people of
the state and his reception by the
the machine republicans was just
what he had anticipated. Judg-
ing the situation from this dis
tance based on newspaper ac-
counts of his progress through
the states we are impelled to the
belief that Mr.. Vincent's candi-
dacy will be viewed by Simon and
his followers with more serious
ness before the state convention
of his party has finished its work
than they have done SO far. The
fact that Mr.. Vincent represents
a principle, and is advocating
honesty in politics, is novelty
to the nondescript two-headed
organization in Denver which
purports to think for the people
and dictate their legislation, and
they will not appreciate what this
man from the Core of the Apple
Country stands for until the con-
troll of the Republican state con
vention is wrested from their
grasp and vested in the people.
With the Legislature in special
session on the eve of passing the
reform legislation demanded by
the people. which they will do.
and the machine Republicans at
Denver carrying around knives as
long and deadly as corn cycles,
waiting to tall upon all those of
their party who evince any dis
position to give the people what
they demand, the outlook for the
Democratic party this fall is in
deed bright. Within the ranks
of the Democratic party is the
only hope of the people of Colo
RADIO to get control of the state
and force the labislation which
will enable them to retain their
hold, once acquired.

A printers trade journal makes
the following plant: "'Patronize

your merchants patronize home
institutions first if he wants your

ton and experience that the
printer who gives the home mer-
chant good service and attractive
appearing printing gets the busi-
ness. OF course there is usually
a crank or two in every town who
imagine they must have litho-
graphed stationery, and who send
certain kinds of printing to speci-
atty houses whose facilities enable
them to underbid the home
printer, but they are the excep-
ton rather than the rule. The
fact that the editor and his paper
are compelled to work for the
general good of that sort of fell
low along with the balance of the
community is the only unpleasant

RAMBLING REMARKS
By Geo. o. Blake

!
cardinal virtue with republican
newspapers. During the cam.
paign two years ago when the
present legislature was up for
election. the republican candi-
dates were running on platform
which demanded the same reform
legislation which Governor Shat
roth has submitted to the extra
session. After the regular session
ended without these reforms be-
ing enacted, the republican press
vociferously asserted that these
reforms would never be enacted
until a republican Legislature
should be elected. Now since
Gov. Shafroth has called the leg.
islators together to fulfill their
pledges to the people these same
papers are saying that no repub-
lican member is under obligation
to support such measures as they
are party measures and besides
are dangerous populistic affairs.
Isn't that consistency And is it
possible the people haven't a
memory long enough to reach
back two years? These papers
said two years ago that these
measures were not partizan be-
cause the republican candidates
were running on platform
pledged to the same reforms as
the democrats. These measures
were said to be advocated by
candidates in response to a WE'LL
nigh universal demand of the
people of both parties. After the
regular session, these papers be-
rated the democratic members
because the reforms were not en-
acted into law. They berated
Gov. Shafroth for not calling the
Legislature together again sooner.
They always fail to mention that
great majority OF the demo-
cratic members tried to carry out
their pledges and that if few OF
the republican members who were
under the same pledges to the
people had voted as they should.
this legislation would have been
enacted. There was no berating
of those members nor mention of
the fact that they were as recreant
as the few democratic members
who were bought by the joint
demo-republican machine of Den
yer. Both were tarred by the
same stick and the people know
it. But now not only is the gov
ernor berated for trying to have
these pledges carried out, but the
measures themselves are de.
nounced as unsafe and populistic-
In other words these papers seem
to think the people do not know
what they went or at least do not
know what is good for them. They
say and care nothing about the
duties of republicans to the peo-
Pile. 1t is to be hoped that there
are some republican members of
the Legislature who are willing to
fulfill the pledges they made to
the voters who elected them. ]
don't want to think they are as
wanting in honor as these. papers
indicate. The fact is the people
know what they want and they
are certain to get it. If not now,
then later. They will keep in
mind those politicians who make
pledges and then not only disre-
gard them. but do the best they
can to prevent their fulfillment.
1t is as much the duty of republi-
| -,o o,e1nherc m vote for these re-.
