PEOPLE TOO BUSY
WITH OWN AFFAIRS
To Give Time and Thought
to Reforms.

Again and again the question has come
to me, why do not the worthy reforms
of the country meet with better success?
Why does not the temperance cause gain
more advocates and more influence? And
why has the Consumers League remained
TO a great extent ineffective against the
swestshop evil of the country? And why
do not the decent people of the towns
and rural districts array themselves more
formidably against vice?
And the answer is: The people generally
are so busy with their own affairs that
they have little thought or time to give
10 reform movements. The men are
working hard to support their families;
the women are busy keeping house and
rearing their children. They all are living
their own lives, so interested in the hap
penings of their immediate small world
that they take little interest in the events
Of the world at large, and so busily en-
crossed with their own business that
they can find little time TO participate
in the affairs of the world.
Normal Condition.
II is right and normal for people gen.
orally to live in this way, following their
own pursuits. 1t is only exceptional per-
sons who, not burdened by family cares
or by the press of having to make their
living, are able TO devote themselves to the
betterment Of humanity. Such unattached
and independent persons are able to be
altruistic but the bulk of men and women
in the world have to be egotistic IL they
are to support and rear their families.
II all the people in the world should be-
come reformers, il they all should turn
perfectly altruistic, the human race would
be soon extinct
II, then, that universal aItruism is an
impossibility, and that through it the
world cannot be freed of its sin, disease
and injustice. there remains but the al
tentative, that humanity will become
bettered through the Improvement of its
individuals. 1he world cannot be made
righteous by great reforms sweeping the
country, but will grow better through the
slow evolving Righteousness of its indi-
viduals. However. the reformers do not
work in vain: they guide and direct; they
are the generals in the great battle for
goodness. But they cannot win the bat
tie; success can be achieved only when
each and every private soldier is doing
his own particular duty toward the ac-
complishment Of the great task.
- Mothers Influence.
As the salvation OF the world is to be
wrought by the salvation of its individ-
suls, so is the salvation of men and
women to be wrought by their mothers.
When mothers for many generations will
have been wise and careful in the bear
ing and rearing of their children; when
the mothers Of many generations have
brought up their children to be clean,
honest, strong and kindly then will the
reform OF the world be accomplished More
far-reacl1inE than the influence of any
reformer is the influence of every mother
Therefore let every mother, and every
woman who may some time become a
mother, be sure that her influence is OF
the right sort

bany hotel, Denver, October 14-15.
This convention. called by the coun-
ty commissioners and the good road
organizations of the state is the
most important in the history of
road work in Colorado. This is be-
cause of the fact that the coming
election the voters will be given an
opportunity to vote ON road meas
ures which mean the future Of
construction work in this state.
The measures to be voted ON are
the highway commission bill, which
means that all monies for road
purposes shall be expended through
that commission; the ten million
dollar bond issue, and the coun-
ty enabling act. This last named
measure will. if adopted, allow the
counties to issue bonds for the
construction of roads and bridges.
At the Denver convention these
things will be thoroughly discuss
ed. and it is intended that a cam
paign shall inaugurate at this meet
ing for these measures. Senator
Stephen of Delta will speak regard
ing the bond issue. of which bill
he is the author. Hon. Alfred Dur

ably explain the county enabling
act. while commissioners and others
will take UP the highway commits

considerable time to open debate
in order that these bills may be
thoroughly discussed, and the in
formation thus CLEANED be given

ures may be intelligently voted
upon.
