WHY NOT PLAY MORE?

The old saying that "All work and
no play makes Jack dull boy" is
undoubtedly true and it probably is
just as true in the case of Emma
Lue or Mary Ann as in the case of
Jack or Bill.
For many years we have maintained
n close connection with the seat of
our office chair, leaving it only when
on some business errand or to forsake
it temporarily for meals or bed, and
while this steady connection between
the two seats may have paid Il little
in the way of revenue it has not paid
dividends in the way of either pleasure
or comfort and we have, in the recent
past, turned new leaf and are doing
a little playing as a side line.
The average business man, we be-
lieve, does not take anywhere near
the amount of recreation which he
should, the average housewife is in
exactly the same boat or we miss our
guess. 1t is, in many cases, impos-
sible for business man to get up and
shake his business to the extent neces.
sary for long vacation but there
are few men whose business is so
urgent in its calls that he cannot take
time for little trip out into the coun-
try. Within mile of town there are
number of lovely little picnic
grounds, within the city limits one can
find fishing grounds that will afford
few fish and lot of relaxation from
business cares. A trip out to the end
of the car line and climb up the
is possible to even the bust
est man in town and it's well worth
the time and trouble. Don't go alone,
take your wife with you, and take
along little lunch and eat it and for
the time being get back to nature,
build little fire and broil piece of
steak. 1t will be smoky, and probably
Semi-weekly herald., 1911-06-26


dirty, but it will taste good in spite
of the smoke and dirt and it will you
you good, you'll sleep better and have
a better appetite and SO will the
"Missus."
These little trips can be made just
as expensive, or inexpensive, as you
like, the matter of the expense will
have little to do with the benefit you
will receive. 1t will cost absolutely
nothing to go out for walk and may
be walk is just the very thing you
need A trip to some nearby resort
can be made, without great expendi-
ture of either money or time, by bug
gy, auto or rail, and any of them will
pay well for the investment.
Strange as it may seem it is true
that there are business men who have
lived in the city for years and have
never yet paid visit to the fish hatch
cry, they do not know that to visit
this institution, to watch the trout
play in the pool, to see the countless
thousands of small fry in the troughs
and to hear that eminent authority on
trout, Tom Hamor, tell the story of the
life of the speckled beauty, is almost
as good as a trip to some far off re-
sort.
To tired man or woman there
should be rest in even just going to
the Main street bridge and spending a
few moments watching the swirling
waters of the Animas speed toward
the sea or in getting up in the morn
ing at an earlier than usual hour and
spending little time at one of the
places where the trains of little mules
are packed with supplies for the
mines.
In the evening, instead of sitting
down and grouehily reading a paper,
take the wife and go to some one of
the places of entertainment, the pic
ture shows are good and Inexpensive
form of amusement and there are
good entertainments at the opera
house every week.
Take more time to play. 1t will
pay because YOU will go back to your
business in better condition to meet
the demands upon your mental and
physical strength. 1t will make your
home happier for the lady of the house
will also be rejuvenated and the bur
den of her daily cares will sit more
lightly upon her

THE LA PLATAS.

There is no doubt but that every
man in the country would like to see
q revival of interest in the La Plata
mining industry. The mountains are
filled with rich ore and the reducing is
. matter of far less expense than III
the days gone by. The wealth is there
awaiting the hand of the miner to
bring it forth, it requires capital but
there is capital to be had if it is gone
after rightly. The eastern capitalist
must be interested and to interest
him he must, like the man from Mis-
souri,, be shown, he must be made to
see that there are possibilities of great
dividends and certainty of at least
reasonable profits.
The men who do things for min
ing country are the men who go out
and interest outside capital and bring
it in TO develope the mines, but there
is another way to do it. When pros
pector has located rich ore he must
find capital, and in many cases large
capital, to develope his find and it is
here that the promoter comes into the
game. He gathers together samples
of the ore and collects geological in
formation regarding the location, he
has reports made by engineers and
blue prints made by draughtsmen.
These he takes back east" and, if
his showing is good enough, he finds
capital to be used in developing the
property. That is the whole story OF
honest promotion and there is nothing
Of the illegal, or wildcat manipula-
ton, in it, it is just as square and
just as legitimate field Of work as
the sowing of fields or the selling of
merchandise.
1t may be urged that not all pro-
moters are square but this is true Of
every other division of commercialism,
crooked men are found in every branch
of business and it is our belief that
the percentage of crooks is no greater
in the mining line than in several 9TH

ness, the magnitude Of the capital
sought, makes it necessary for the
promoter to handle only clean cut and
square propositions if he hopes to sue
coed in his work.
1t is our opinion that the people of
the San Juan district ohould do all in
their power to advance the work of
Legitimate promotion, capital attracts
capital, the opening of paying mine
is magnet which draws more capi-
tai to the scene, more prospecting and
more developing is done and with each |
success the prosperity of the district
is enhanced in increasing ratio. For
these reasons let us not discourage the
work of promotion, let us rather aid \
by all the means in our power the |
efforts of the honest promoters to |
secure the interest, and the capital, of |
the eastern investor for investment in
this district.

REAL PATRIOTISM.

A needlessly alarmed citizen Of
Sterling, ILL.,, writes to ask if it be the
desire of the Tribune to help develop
nation of mollycoddles. The Sane
Fourth comes to that, he thinks. He
wants the good old fashioned" cele-
bration, and he incloses with pride
newspaper clipping to show that Ster-
ling will endeavor to preserve the
faith Of its fathers in the good old
fashioned way, says the Chicago Trib-
une.
We have our doubts that the need
lessly alarmed citizen really believes
that patriotism is Moloch demanding
ar annual offering up of eyes, hands,
and other members and of lives. At
least we are sure he will not insist
OF blowing his own hand off that he
may show grateful country how
glad he is to be free and Independent
and how worthy he is to have freedom
and independence.
1t is more likely that he has very
slight idea of what the celebration of
the Fourth had come to. He probably
has seen children with their fingers
bandaged, and he may even have seen
a house in which the curtains were
drawn and in which physician was
trying to save a small boys eyesight.
We doubt that he has seen the latter,
however. Certainly he never saw such
a boy or such boys mother.
He never saw city given over to
rowdies with dynamite canes, Bedlam-
ties with high explosives, and hood
lums with giant crackers-a city in
which the sick shivered with nervous
apprehension and quivered with shocks
all day long; a city in which the fire
department worked until men and
horses were tagged; city in which
there We're dead and injured as the re-
suit Of a mad mans holiday.
Patriotism? The thought was not
present Love of country? Nonsense.
Love of noise-nothing else.
The trouble in Sterling, if we un-
deIstand the opinions expressed in the
newspaper clipping, is that sane
Fourth has been misunderstood to be
no Fourth. The people there rightful-
ly object to that. They intend to
have celebration. The eagle is to
spread his wings and the orator is to
reveal the glory of the nation. The
small boy is to be taught that it is n
lucky thing for anybody to be an
American. That is fine thing to do.
/ ct it be spread on thickly. We can
afford to be self-laudatory once a
year.
We do not want to take the need
lessly alarmed citizen away from the
Sterling celebration, but IL he could
find the time to be in Chicago July
and see the parade of all nations and
the ceremonies in some Of the parks,
he might understand that the day is
only now coming to have real pa
triotic significance.
