"Her Husbands Wife,"

Her Husbands Wife" the
lightest and most joyous of COM
edies by A. B. Thomas, and
presented by the Denham Play
ers and a specially selected cast,
in the offering for next week for
the Denham Theatre, opening on
Sunday and regular matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday. Den
YER theatregoers will have anoth-
er opportunity of seeing their
favorite actress in a role specially
suited to her versatile talent. To
give you a long description of the
play would be an injustice. Irene
Randolph is a silly young wife,
who fancies herself at the portals
of death, and she decides to pick
out her husbands second wife.
She does not wish him to forget
her, and to make sure she selects
for her successor her plainest and
dowdiest friend. who has been
disappointed in love. But her
dowdiest friend considers herself
insulted and starts to teach Irene
a lesson, and she does it SO Sue
cessfully that Irene decides she
won't die and leave her hus-
band to so clever a girl as her
friend. She throws away her
drugs and has a very busy time
getting back her husband. 1t is
an especially appropriate bill for
next week and is one laugh from
beginning to end. Miss Lang
will have the role of the young
wife and Mr.. Anthony that OF
husband and which part was play
ed by MIR. Henry Miller.

Textile Busines. Booming.

L. w. Parker, president of the
Parker Cotton Mills Company,
and the head of eighteen cotton
mills, at a banquet recently given
in Philadelphia, said:
"A period of profitable bust
ness is right at hand. Foreign
competition under the new tariff
is not going to injure the textile
industry, and the outlook for all
business the country over is
bright.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we have heard of depression, the
market is upon a profitable basis.
l am an optimist and the time has
come when we all can be SO. The
textile industry is not threatened
by foreign competition. Irecog-
nize the fact that we are passing
through a period of transition,
but it will not be for long. We
have a great field, of which the
surface has hardly been scratch
ed."

Resolutions.

We your committee regretfully
announce the death of Lewis
Goodman, beloved husband of
Our Esteemed Neighbor, Matte
Goodman and present the follow
ing resolutions:
That Neighbor Goodman has
lost a kind and loving husband,
and if we have been lax in our
sympathy to our bereaved Neigh
Dor 1t is because we have been
selfish in our own sorrow. That
grief was given expression by
the presence of Neighbors and
friends at the tomb, when we
can truthfully say that not one
was decribed in those beautiful
words of Whittier:
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cy-
press trees
Who hopeless lays his dead
away
Nor look to see the dawning day
Across the mournful marble play
Who hast not learned in hours
of faith
The truth to sight and sense un-
known
Life IL ne'r lord of death
And love can never lose IL own.
Resolved that a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of this circle and a copy
sent to Neighbor Goodman and
daughter and presented to the
local press.

The challenge is made that too
many lawyers and bankers have
to do with-our law-making, and
that it should now be turned ov-
er to the farmer. The fact is,
our legislatures are made up of
representatives from all walks of
life, and should be. We need
the lawyer. the banker and the
farmer. We read an argument
one time that a certain candidate
way over in Routt county should
be sent to the legislature because
for twenty years he had lived on
his ranch and attended strictly
to his own business and had
been fairly prosperous. Now.
the Enterprise is not casting any
reflection on the farmer. we all
need them, and many of them ex-
cell in the possession of grey
matter and dollars rs well. But
it is not n mans occupation that
makes him the kind of man we
need in the legislature it is his
moral and mental fibre supple
mented by worldly experience
and contact with his fellowman.
Arvada can supply this demand.
and we challenge our contempo-
rary 70 refute it.

In looking through the American Free

issued call for an international Masonic
conference or congress and that one OF the
topics for discussion Is ''rhe Position of
the Black Race In Masonry" That topic
interests me considerably because of the
fact that this grand lodge in which l hold
membership is composed entirely Of black
men, otherwise designated as American
Negroes. and wondered whether the SUBJ
ject for discussion is to deal primarily
with the black people Of American birth
or with those who may be living within
the territory governed by your grand
orient.
do not presume you are very well in
formed concerning the relations existing
between the white and black races of the
United States. 1t is true that at one time
many millions of the blacks were slaves
of portion of the whites. 1t Is equally
true there were several millions of blacks
that were known as free Negroes"
whose ancestors were never bound By the
chains OF human slavery 1t was through
this class that treemasonry among the
American Negroes came into being by
virtue OF document issued in 1884 by the

black Americans transmitted the sacred

Gus generations Of other free Negroes"
