GIVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
AN EQUAL CHANCE

If you have been buying goods of a
mail order house you doubtless think
it has been to your advantage to do
so. You have believed that you were
saving money or were getting better
goods. Let US see if this is true.
Have you tried to do business with
your local merchant-your neighbor-
on the terms that the mail order
house exacss? No? Then suppose
you try it.
Just go into the store, plank down
your cash and tell what you want
You might even tell the merchant that
you will wait a few days for the
goods. See if your local merchant
can't serve you better and as cheaply
as the mail order house.
The local mercant usually extends
credit for two, four or six months.
The mail order house demands cash
in advance. 1t uses your money as
working capitol. 1t loses nothing in
interest, nothing in bad debts or on
slow paying customers. Try this cash
in advance plan OIL the local merchant
the man you know-and see if he
can't make it to your advantage to
spend your money where you make it.

JAIL DOES NOT CHANGE
JUSTICE OF PAYMENT

LONDON, Aug. 22.-That an en-
ployer must still pay compensation
to an incapacitated workman even
if he is in Jail, was the decision for
mally handed down by the appeals
court. Last July while working in an
elevator as stevedore John McNally
injured his knee and his employers
were ordered to pay his $5 a week
compensation. In January they dis
covered McNally had been convicted
of larcency and sentenced to eighteen
months in prison, so they asked the
courts to rule there was no need for
them to continue paying him. The
county court on May 10 reduced the
sum to SO week but the employers
contended that as he was in prison
he could not get work even If he
was able to do so, which they declared
was the case. The Appeal court,
however, decided that being partially
disabled through the accident it does
not matter whether McNally can get
out of prison to find work or not and
that the payments must continue.

STAGE HOLD-UP AT CHEYENNE

CHEYENNE, Aug. 22.-An ancient
frontier stage coach, carrying half
dozen passengers, both men and
women, was held up here today. As
the vehicle dashed into Frontier park
four men riding bronchos and wearing
handkerchief masks, bore down on the
coach, firing revolvers and sawed off
shotguns almost in the faces of the

The nomination of John P. Mitchell
for mayor by the fusion committee
of 107 has been received by the New
York press and public without any
sign of enthusiasm, says the Record
Herald. For some days open bolting
was threatened by the respective
friends of Whitman, the prosecutor,
and McAneny, the president of the
borough of Manhattan. Two or three
papers have already bolted fusion and
are not likely to support Mitchell, al
though they will stand by the rest of
the ticket he heads. However, the
danger of separate Republican NOM
ination is greatly lessened by the de-
liberate decision of Whitman to run
on the fusion ticket and subordinate
his own or his party's interests to the
cause of the anti-Tammany allies. Nc
Aneny has also signified his inten-
tion of accepting the fusion nomina-
tion, although his sacrifice is greater
than that of Whitman. He is nomi-
mated for the presidency of the board

MODESTY WAVE
SWEEPS ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS, NO., Aug. 21.-Little
old st. Louis today is engulfed to the
neck in wave of modesty. Ordered
to display no paintings, pictures or
statues in the nude, proprietors and
managers of cafes and restaurants
have dressed them, and wierd sights
meet the eye of the patron of these
places.
In one down town cafe Venus wears
pair of diaphanous trouserettes, and
the Lady with the Goose is garbed in
slit skirt, the slit extending peril
ously close to the lady's neck. In
another cafe where the proprietor
boasted really handsome group de-
picting Pan piping to bevy of cal
together" woodland nymphs, Pan has
been forced to don a specially made
pair of overalls and the girls are
dressed up in pajamas, nighties and
Mother Hubbards. "The Sleeping
Beauty" who has for years repose-
fully slumbered on a slab in another
cafe unclothed, now wears made-to-
order policeman's uniform. The pro-
prietor said he could think of no more
fitting garb for sleeping figure.
Still another cafe manager in whose
place was a bronze figure taken from
the now famous September Morn y
| has dressed the figure up in a short
white linen garment that comes in
pairs. A statue of Bachante, the orig
inal of which was refused by the
Puritanically inclined of Boston, and
now disports herself in the Metro
politan of New York, now wears a
complete motoring outfit including
goggles and veil. The infant she holds
in her arms wears that one garment
which has come to be badge of
babyhood.

UP TO GOVERNOR AMMONs.

When the people of Hayden petit
ing the Carey act project near town
which is holding thousands of acres
back from settlement they did not do
so just to register a kick. They knew
that the settlement of this section was
being retarded by the segregation Of
the land. Now that the railroad is
at our threshold there is all the more
need that this land be thrown open.
The Carey people are paying no taxes
on the land. They are not adding to
our schoo, population or taxable prop
erty or making development whatever.
1t is as little as the governor can do
to come and look the proposition over
and if he does not come to the same
conclusion that the people of this Sec
tion have come, all right, that is his
privilege. If he does not care more
for the good will of the Denver Post
than he does for fairness and justice
he will at least show some considera-
ton for the respectable citizens who
have petitioned him to cancel this Ca
rey act project. 1t begins to look as
if the governor was more afraid tc
getting the enmity of the Post than
he is of doing justice by the people of
Routt county. Harry Bonfils has q
greater or less interest in the Leach
ditch, and to cancel the contract might
turn the mud batteries of the Post or
the governor. Come over here, gov
ernor and see if you can find ten re.
sponsible citizens in western Routt
county who will buy a tract of lane
under the proposed Leach ditch under
the proposed conditions and we will
admit that we are in the wrong

NEITHER STRINGENCY OR IN.
FLATION.

The conferences with the southern
and western bankers at Washington
in relation to the best mode of ia
cilitating the country's crop-moving
operations have demonstrated several
things.
The aid of the treasury is needed,
and the bankers are grateful for it.
The few jealous organs of monopoly
in New York that hastened to as
sure themselves that Mr.. McAdoo had
committed a blunder, and that the
government deposits would actually
cause panic by advertising a stringen-
cy that no one feared, are covered
with confusion. The money is well
come, and the question now is whether
more than $50,000,OOO will not be re-
quired.
At the same time it is realized that
excessive deposits might encourage
initiation and speculation. 1t is, there
fore, necessary to provide for the re-
turn of the money as soon as the spe
cial seasonal demands have been met.
With prudent management, the dan
ger of initiation should be entirely
eliminated. AS some of the west
ern bankers point out, the south will
be paying back the money before
the farmers in the northwest will feel
acutely the need for it, and the same
millions will do duty twice or thrice
Nothing more wise or genuinely
constructive has been done BY the
treasury in many years. The peoples
surplus is to be used to serve the
peoples legitimate interests without
loss to anybody save the beneficiaries
OF panic and credit monopoly.-Rec-

WHO ARE THEIR FRIENDS?

/. w. W. agitators claim that they
are the friends of workingmen, and
that their aim is to benefit them. But
this is precisely what they are not
They are the worst enemies of the
workipgmen.
Even from an economic point OF
view their doctrines are false. They
preach the strike and tine destruction
of machinery as n means of securing
better conditions. But strikes are
ruincus to .he workingmen.
Statistics for 1911 show that the la
borers during that year lost SEE, ,S46,-
TOO in during because of strikes. The
contributions received from laborers
to keep strikers from starving and
for other expenses are estimated al
$25, 100000. AS result of strikes
SO 1929 ,499 were added to wages. That
is to say, it cost in the neighborhood
of $60, 100000 to obtain an increase in
wages somewhat over $8,0O0,0O0.. Are
these advocates of such business meth
ods the friends of those to whom they
address themselves?
We have for years advocated the
establishment of industrial courts OF
arbitration to judge between employees
and employers. This is the only ra-
tional way of adjusting such disputes
This solution of the present industrial
problems will finally come, and all
who labor to bring it about are the
true friend of the workingmen.-Salt

THE ELWOOD PASS
HIGHWAY SELECTED

After spending several weeks in in
vestigating the preliminary surveying
for the Elwood Pass state highway
Engineer Reilly has concluded that
the route as laid out down the East
fork of the San Juan river is not
practical, and has decided that the
route, in order to take the specified
grade at not too great cost must &c
down the West fork of the same river
In accordance to this plan route
has been selected and work will be-
gin Immediately. The road will be
built from Sumner, a point on Wight
man fork of the Alamosa river, to
Elwood pass and west from that point
to the Middle fork and West fork OF
the South fork of the Rio Grande and
over the range to the West fork of the
San Juan river, thence down that
stream to Pagosa Springs.
When it was discovered that the
original route was not to be used, eff
fort was made to change the road
entirely, making the route through
Monte Vista west to Del Norte and
on up the Rio Grande to South fork
and then up the South fork and over
the range. Owing to the fact that
the appropriation had been made for
a road as originally laid out this
change could not be made and work
will now begin on the highway from
Sumner to Pagosa Springs. Two
forces will be employed, one on this
side of the range and the other on the
Pagosa side. Operations will be push
ed with all possible speed and the con-
struction force will meet on top of the
range. The route up the South fork
Of the Rio Grande is by far the bet
ter one, making as it does shorter
and easier grade, but the people of
Conejos county felt that they were not
being treated rightly in the matter,
and as the appropriation had been
made it was nearly impossible to make
the change as formerly stated. How
ever, the authorities see the justice of
the claims as those who knew of the
South fork route, and have promised
that when appropriations are again
made this road will receive money for
its construction and this needed cut
off can be constructed.
1t is probable that petitions for the
Of this cutoff up the
South Fork will be sought.
1t now begins to look as though this
road, which has caused considerable
discussion will work out in the end
very satisfactorily. The people OF the
eastern and southern portions of the
valley will gain the route for which
hey have fought and the people OF
The western end Of the valley and the
autoists at large will have the South
'ork route which is the shortest, most
iirect and best grade from Pueblo to
ourango.-Pueblo Chieftain.
