RESPONSIBILITY.
By EDWIN a. NYB.

Lay your burdens on ME.
The man who can say that to his
fellows is stronger than they.
Because. as rule. men seek other
shoulders upon which to lay their bur
dens. And so there is that big word
that goes with big men
Responsibility.
Said the American colonists OF the
last quarter Of the eighteenth century,
Taxation without representation is
tyranny"
YES" said they all. "but who will
bell the cat. George HIP And the
Hancocks and the Jeffersons and the
rest of the immortals said:
I've have signed the protest Let
the commons blaze away"
Responsibility.
Washington said. "Put the respon-
sibility'of the army on me-" And that
made Washington great
Responsibility.
When Napoleon announced his Ital-
ian campaign smaller men said. "But
you can't get an army over the Alps"
Napoleon showed his greatness by as
suming that responsibility.
Sinking burdens. men dock to those
who offer their shoulders.
Responsibility.
They told Fulton his steamboat
would not run up stream. and Stephen.
son that his locomotive would not pull
load. and Morse that his telegraph
would not work. and Bell that his
telephone would be dumb, and Edison
that his electricity would not be cheap
enough 10 burn. and
Why multiply proofs2
Responsibility lets the real man that
is inside Of you out. reveals yourself
as you are 20 yourself and to those
who put their burdens upon you.
Do not shirk responsibility.
And II you want your child TO sue
ceed do not hesitate TO put respon
sibility upon his shoulders.
Look at that woman OF the orient
bearing her head burden. How firm
her neckl What superb balance OF
body! Erect. how she watches bel
steps,
Responsibility.
Shoulder yours. The bearing Of tn,
load win fit you for the task.

There are dog owners that will stand

told that If he didn't get rid OF him

FARMERS BUSY
WITH SPRING WORK
Cold Wet Weather Retarded
Much Flowing and
Planting

These are busy days for the farmers
of the State. The cold wet weather the
past month has retarded the spring
plowing and planting about three
weeks. Not more than half the usual
oats crop is seeded and everything
else is correspondingly behind time.
Evening journal., 1911-05-08

The time for corn planting is here,
but farmers are not in a hurry to get
it in as the ground is yet cold. The
bulk OF it will not be planted until
this week. Much of it was planted the
first week in May last year.

Early potatoes are being planted
now, but as they have not been a big
paying crop for the last year or two,
there will probably be less acreage
than last season.
Evening journal., 1911-05-08

Recent weather conditions have i'm
proved wheat and generally it is in full
normal condition, although there are
some scattered fields that are not up
to the mark. There is no danger of it
going to rank straw this year as was
the case last season.
Evening journal., 1911-05-08

Grass fields are backward They
will have to do very fast growing from
now on to make a full crop of hay at
the usual time for cutting While a
great deal of clover was frozen out
during the winter, there is enough left
in the majority of the fields to yield a
full crop Of it, if it gets the length.
Young clover, sown in the wheat this
spring, caught nicely.
With spring several weeks late and
foliage just started. fruits have been
held back from early blossoming. and
chances for frost killing reduced to a
minimum. II is rarely that we have
cold enough weather in May to injure
fruit, and the crop is probably safe
from danger from that cause.
Early cherries are white with bloom
and the fruit buds on them are un-
usually abundant With favorable
weather conditions the indications for
prolific crop are good; though a big
show of blossoms is not always fol-
lowed by a correspondingly large yield
of fruit.
Apples are not yet far enough ad-
vanced to judge Of the outlook, and
plum crops promise to be fair.

two hundred in the party. according to
DR.. Patterson, but for the washouts
along the Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island roads early last week which
prevented may of the prospective
excursionists from reaching the rem
devious at Rexford for the start on
Tuesday morning. Four or FIVE riders
from Logan, Kansas, were compelled
to place their machines on hand cars
and propel them through several miles
OF submerged track on the Missouri
Pacific in order to get across to terra
firma which would enable them to
reach the place of meeting in proper
time.
DR.. Patterson. of Rexford, and Vic
for Shultis and Fred Wilson brought
their wives with them; the two latter
couple riding their machines double.
The youngest member OF the party is
Miss Inez Patterson, the tifteen-year-
old daughter of the secretary OF the
association. She is riding a two
speed machine and is keeping right
along with the leaders OF the run and
has not tired a particle from the long
trip She is one CT the most enthusiasts
tic members of the excursion and
complains because they are not going
across the mountains to the Pacific
coast
Small parties of motorcycllsts have
crossed the continent from New York
to San Francisco, but the visitors now
here constitute the largest body OF ex-
cursionists of the kind ever organized
in the United States. The visitors all
wear kaki suits and are sunburned
from their exposure to the wind and
heat encountered on the trip. They
are quartered at the Denton Hotel
during their stay in Canon City and
have made acquaintances since their
arrival here. Sunday afternoon they
made run into the Royal Gorge over
the grade OF the old State ditch and
back to town over the Skyline drive,
which they greatly enjoyed. Sunday
evening they took a plunge in the
swimming pool and this morning went
through to Parkdale on a Denver and
Cañon City record., 1911-08-17

Rio Grande train in order to see the
Royal Gorge from the bottom. This
afternoon they inspected the Milvale
Coal company's mines south OF town
and visited the orchard growing sec
tions Of Lincoln park and Fruitmere.
At 600 o'clock this evening there
will be a base ball game at the high
school diamond between the Canon
City All-Stars and a team organized
among the visitors, for which an ad-
mission of ten cents will be charged.
The railroad trip through the Royal
Gorge this morning was a delightful
feature OF the motorcyclists visit to
Colorado and they we're unable to
find adjectives enough In their vocab-
ulary to express their admiration of
the magnificent scenery that unfold
ed itself at every turn in the track.
Many of the excursionists had never
been in the mountains before and
they unanimously voted the gorge to
be one CT the masterpieces OF the
Creators work At the Hanging
bridge one OF the visitors plunged in
to the Arkansas river on banter
from a companion that he could not
swim to the opposite bank and back
again. Without the least hesitation
he jumped into the water and found
the job the biggest proposition of the
kind he had ever tackled. Although
the stream is less than thirty feet wide
the water is very deep and about as
turbulent as the rapids below Niagara
Falls. The swimmer won the bet
but was carried hundred feet or
more out of his course by the force OF
the current. TO swim the river there
is an achievement which few people
care to undertake.
Tomorrow morning the motorcycle
lists will leave the Denton hotel for a
run over the tunnel road into the Roy
al Gorge; leaving their machines at
the end OF the highway for hike"
to the Hanging bridge couple OF
miles farther on. At the Hanging

The visitors left Rexford last Tues
day morning and the six days that
have intervened have been memorably
pleasant ones despite the long
stretches of dusty roads in western
Kansas, the hot weather and the
WEAKNESS incident to SO strenuous
trip. The first day a run of one
hundred and fifteen miles was made,
the second one hundred and ten miles,
the third sixty-five miles, the fourth
sixty miles, the fifth forty miles. The

been no accidents worthy of mention,
although one of the riders had a
rather bad tumble before reaching the

had better go back home.

four automobiles in the party, a total
OF one hundred and ten people There
are riders from Kansas City. Chicago,

are from the smaller towns OF north
western Kansas. There would have
been from one hundred and fifty to
