There is Always a Kick

Now Mr.. Business man you kick
because Thomas Jones sends to a
catalogue house for his groceries,
dry goods or hard ware or in fact
anything he wants, but if you are
In the hardware business and see
the grocery man shipping in hard
ware for his own use, and the
hardware man shipping in groc-
cries and dry goods for his own
use, would you kick? Do you get
your printing done at home?
No you don't, you get them print
ed in Denver or else where at IA
few cents cheaper. Is there a
business house in town that gets
all its printing done at home?
Where was the City Tax notices
prlnted-in Encampment. Is
that right-who pays the taxes
aud helps keep up the town and
school. Not long ago a certain
hardware man sent to a catalogue
house for himself and his partner
and their wives, for some clothing
and the clothing man heard of it
aud rounded up the hardware
man. So there it is, but don't
kick.
About the time the grocery man
got thru kicking, he had some
furniture shipped in from the
same catalogue house. But don't
kick. Buy at home and the farm
ers aud cities will do the same.
If there is a house to be built
in town, send out for the carpen-
ter. He gets the money and goes
when the job is finished. If there
is any other work to be done send
to some out side town for help to
do it.
Put in a good water system and
quit kicking.

County Commissioners w. A.
Mckay. Evan Veitch and ID. c.
Jones all came up from Rawlins
last week and went on up to Big
creek, where they inspected and
received the steel bridge across
that stream. We are informed
that the new road built by the
commissioners around above all
the irrigating bitches, will prove
a great convenience. The com
missionerers are well satisfied with
the work and the people of this
valley certainly commend them
for having the bridge put in again

last Thursday and was buried
at that place on Sunday. His son
John T.Finch, of the Encampment
valley, went down to Carbon on
Friday mornings train to be pres
ent at the funersl. From him we
learned that his father was born
in Lancashire, England IS years
ago. He came to this country in
1873 and has been a resident OF
Carbon ever since. He was a Lam
cashire coal man and always
worked in the mines until incap-
acitated by old age. He was n OF
the best known characters in and
around the old town of Carbon and
will be sadly missed from his old

Basket Ball Game

The Saratoga Girls Basket Ball
team went to Rawlins Friday and
played the girls team at that place
the same evening III the R.. A. G.
hall.
The game ended in a score of
81 to 4 in favor of the Rawlins
girls. 1t was an interesting game
but very one sided, the Rawlins
girls being an old team and in
splendid training as well as being
up to all the miles of the game.
Our team lacks athletic work as
well as team work and knowledge
of the rules, which they can get
only by long work. However they
will probably make a different
showing when they play again.
The fact that they played boys
rules i'll the game and our team
had been playing girls rules,
should make no difference. Pari
of the team returned Saturday
aud the rest Monday.

The Bureau Of Reasons

Under this head we are going
to print all letters commendatory
or otherwise, that are sent to the
Sun signed by the writer, (whose
name we will not use unless it is
speci6ed). There are a number
of conditions prevailing here that
are detrimental to good business,
which we neither like nor are we
going to~tolerate any longer than
it will take to stamp it out. To
this end we will give every one a
chance to write anything. pretain-
ing to lettering conditions, and
by this method we expect to show
up some of the causes of which
the people are ignorant. We pro-
pose only to reach the evils that
are retarding the business interes-
to of this valley as well as the
more important items, such as de-
veloping and promoting compau-
les. But above all let's get at the
truth end we ask our writer's to
make their matter pointed and a
class of stuff such as they can sub
stantiate. We may, or may not,
comment as we may see fit OH
each or any of the communicate
ions.
The Sun is not taking this mat
ter up for pleasure and it does not
take to it any kinder than a
tramp to work" but we feel that
their is a vital need at this time
for these things to be straight
ened out aud we ask you to bear
with, us as well as aid US, for the
general good of the valley.

journed. Factions must be united
The people of the Twin Cities can not
afford to suffer on account of the
personal issues of individuals. Atty
McGhee, B. s. Smith, Esq and even
John Dillingham; are valuable citizens
and we can't peaceably get along
without them. The Delegates, the
Citizens, the Star, and they them
selves regret that this tempest in a
tea pot was unnecessary. Get togeth-
er. Get on the inside to curb the
evils You can't help it by knocking
from without. We are sorry that
these great educators( and there were
some) were subjected to these condi-
tons. But we are proud to say that
the people made record in many
instances. Concerted effort and de-
sire toward race betterment must
prevail, and it will, or the people will
be sorely disappointed and previously
affected. Let us have peace" end
this factional strife, and we will rise
by leaps and bounds.

BEST WAY TO ELEVATE.

The third annual meeting Of the
Negro National Educational Congress
which will be held at st. Paul, July
1919, bids fair to be more success
full than either of the former two.
The earnest effort of the leaders in
the movement to get away from pro
fessional negroism" and to elevate
the race as whole by raising intel
lectual and moral standards Is meet
ing with an increasing degree OF
sympathy on the part of all real
friends of the race and Of human
progress in the abstract. Entirely
too much Is heard Of the negro as a
race and too little of him as citi-
zen who Is an integral part Of our
social and economic system, who can
not be kept in ignorance without
detriment to the whole people, who
cannot become immoral without
creating social plague spots and who
cannot above all things, be the vic
tim of injustice and injury without
corresponding and reflected harm on
American institutions.
Especially during exciting political
campaigns a great deal is heard Of
the negro as voter, and great
many foolish blacks lay entirely too
much stress on the Jack Johnsons of
their race. The farther the race can
get away from the negro politicians,
and particularly from the negro prize
fighters, and the nearer 1t can get
to the best representatives Of the
negro as a citizen, the better 1t will
be for all concerned.
The objects of the Negro National
Educational Congress are closely
nected with these principles and for
that reason the movement has re-
ceived the support of the governors
of most OF the Northern states and Of
country. Education Is the very key
note of citizenship, and citizenship
Is the key to the solution of most of
the vexing problems of our national
life. The young man or young wo-
man, no matter of what race or col
or, who is honestly ambitious to get
an education is on the upward road
and can rise superior to most of
the obstacles to advancement. Doors
may be barred to some that are op-
ened to others, but in the long run
the world respects and sympathizes
with those who make an honest and
earnest effort to better their con-
dition.-The Kansas City Journal,
July 8, 1912.

portions of the Old World for ac-
curate and concise information in re-
gard to the history, progress and
present status of the Negro Roce. 1t
is based to large extent on the in

FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD.

The Congress was not a financial
success. Few believed it would be,
the contending forces had done their
work, but what credit have we given
Rev. ]. r. White, who brought it, and
who gave us the good we received
by having such great men among us.
Let us remember Rev. White and
Editor Adams, and If in doing this
thou shall forget the "Star" and
Guide, a plague on those that fol-
low.
