went out of his class to meet Goliath and got the de-

Our forefathers called it pluck But nerve IS pluck
raised t. the nth power. Nor is it single virtue. 1t
is mutipleX
To brave the rigors of the Artic in search of the
North Pole that is nerve.
To claim its discovery swisscheese proofs that

To stick to the keyboard of the founderings 'Re
public flashing Macedonian cry that delivered
through the civilized world-newe:
To propose gigantic mnle tracks under our great
rivers and to unbuton the pockets of the promoters
to the exrent of sixty million dollars before wheel
turned-only nerve could do it.
To displace beating heart and remove groth when
fraction inaccuracy meant murder--that is nerve.
1t takes big tape measure to go around the word
nerve. It's meaning is diverse, and its manifesto
tions are many. 1t is the biggest word in the bus
mess lexicon, and the counterslgn that admits to the
inner chamber of success.
Nerve is no unit virtue 1t is the American of many
In it scompositon sef-confidence courage energy
grit hope, enthusiasm, ambition, endurance and then

A man with nerve must perforce be accused of con-

Nerve make man sure of himself. ltdestroys hes

that he can. Doubt and timdly strangers to him.
In the language of the phrenoogst, he is plus
on sefesteem, and his confidence inspires the conf

Hence the man of nerve becomes leader of men.
He is magnetic; he attracts men, He is gavanc; he

Can you conceive of without courage? Strength

him into the thrilling rescue it sends him aloft

Energy? Nerve supplies it. The man witch nerve
doesn't SLOUGH Gag in the middle. His head high

action is as brisk SIS his brain.
Nerve shows in mans walk and conversation.
Neither his foot his tongue faters. He walks
with an accent, and talks with emphasis. He takes his
rest in bed, and only uses chair as step-ladder
The man with nerve is smiling, whisting optimist.
He leaks hope! He basks in continual sunlight and

sends them down to our neigh

Dave kuhnley had been killed.

erected at the light plant and Mr..

taking down the derrick which
had been used a guy rope gave

from the Christian church by the
pastor Rev. c G. Stout.

Better Mine Inspection

The recent mine explosions in
the southern coal district with
then frighrful loss of life should
lead TO the enactment of more
stringent inspection laws. The
ccou is of these awful disasters
which have appeared in the
papers indicate gross negligence
on the part OF the coal mine own
ers. TheS eSpresent laws are evil
dently disregarded. The state
mine Inspector should know more
about these mines than he seems
to know. A roundup of his
office might result in greater eff
hcieney in his department. 1t is
certainly worth while. II the
victims of these explosions were
Americans instead of foreigners,
there would be something doing
at once. 1t is to be hoped the
Legislature at its next session will
investigate these disasters and fix
responsibility where it belongs
without fear or favor, also pass
more stringent laws to govern
these mines.

Sheepmen's Plea is Denied

The Denver Times of Wednes
day has this to say of the recent
attempt to secure permission to
Craze sheep on the headwaters OF
the North Fork. The Times,
like many on the east slope,
know nothing of the west slope
geography apparently. Here is
what it says:
A petition of the western Slope
Wool Growers Association to
former Forester Clifford Pinchot
to allow the grazing of 10000
head of sheep in the Gunnison
national forest has been refused
by Forester Henry S. Graves, ac-
cording to advices received by
Assistant District Forester Paul
G. Redington. The forester bases
his decision on the the investiga
tion made by Assistant Forester
l.. r. kneipp and Assistant Dis
trict Forester J. w. Nelson.
The investigation proved that
there was enough unused land in
the Gunnison forest to permit the
grazing of 10000 head of sheep.
but the petition of the sheep
growers met with bitter opposi-
tion from the Gunnison County
Stock Growers association and
from the irrigation companies OF
the Gunnison District. who were
represented b, Merle d Vincent,
The examination proved that
sheep grazing probably would be
detrimental to the headwaters of
the north fork of the Gunnison
riuer and might seriously affect
The success OF the Gunnison tun-
mel project.

Senator Charles J. Hughes

Regardless OF political affilia
tions, the people OF Colorado
unite in the hope that the states
brilliant junior senator, Charles J.
Hughes. may soon be restored to
health. The Chieftain has diff
fered with Senator Hughes on
many occasions and will doubt
less have frequent cause to do so
again, if the senator's health is
restored sufficiently to permit
him to resume his seat in the
senate.
But, nevertheless. The Chief
tain takes the same pride as do
the people of the entire state in the
senator's honesty, even though to
many of US it may appear IN a
mistaken policy, in his brilliance
as a thinker and an orator. in the
high place he attained by virtue
of his natural talents during his
short term in the senate. In view
of the recent Democratic victories
throughout the nation the senator
will undoubtedly rank as the leads sr
of his party in the senate if he is
able to serve out his term. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that he will
be permitted to resume the high
off ce TO which he was elected by
by the Colorado general assembly.
