(By /. H. Wan d, President Texas Com
mercial Executives Association.)
Skill, without will, is bound to stand
still.
Business prosperity is measured by
eternal hustling.
Energy and perseverance are the
stepping stones of success.
The greatest fields and the least
pastured is that of city building.
That city is best known abroad
whose citizens are most loyal at home.
Dead men are better than lazy ones
in that they don't clog the wheels of
progress.
The development of the sanitary ia
cilities of community is good in
dex to its progressiveness.
The commercial organization is the
pivot upon which a city revolves and
throws out its fragrant lights of pub
licity.

HILLIARD WINS. BY
3 VOTES IN COURT
Declared Nominee for Congress
in Denver District
Appeal to District and Supreme Courts
Sustain Figures on Tally Sheets
and Smith Loses Out

The State Supreme Court Monday af-
ternoon affirmed The nomination of r.
C. Hilliard as DeIpocratie candidate for
Congress from the first district at the
primary held September 8.
The court sustained the favorable
ruling OF Judge little in the District
Court, which held the returns showed
billiards nomination over George Al
len Smith by three votes. The Dis
trict Court directed the election COM
mission to issue j certificate of nomi-
nation for Hilliard. 1t was contesting
this action that the commission ap-
pealed to the SuFseme Court on writ
of error.
Arguments were begun Monday after
noon at 2:3o O'Clock and at 5 o'clock
mer Judge E c. Stimson and r. f. Sin.
nicum appeared for Hilliard. E. H
Pierce and il. a. Lindsey represented
the election commission and Smith.
The high court held with the lower
court that the tfcts were sufficiently
plain TO Indicate billiards. nomination
OF the three precincts in which figures
were disputed but one was seriously ad-
vaneed-District II, Precinct Q. Here the
tally marks gave billiard 81, the figures
2l and the written totals 81. II was de-
eided that 81 vas the correct figure.
This remarkable contest has held the
center Of political interest in Denver
since the close. vote was first indicated
at the primary election. The elections
commission of Denver county passed a
decision up TO the state canvassing
board. which in turn referred it back
to the commission. Then the case was
taken before Judge Little of the Dis
triet Court. who on last Friday decided
in favor of Hiiliard Smith appealed at
once to the 'Sts-e Supreme Court.
Smiths contes. to billiards apparent
election was based upon the returns
from three pres;.ets in which the writ
ten figures enc sherais did not coin
eide
Smith contended that the numerals
should givern. while Hilliard claimed
the written figures should prevail.
billiards claims were agreed to by the
court after the election clerks from
the disputed precincts had given testi-
mony.
In District ID, Precinct 5, billiards
vote. according to the numerals, was 80,
while the written figures gave him 35.
In District F, Precinct IL. the numerals
gave 80 votes to Hilliard, while he re-
ceived 50 according TO the written fig.
ures. In District II. Precinct o, Hill
lard was given ten less votes by the
numerals than by the written totals.
Had the court held that the numerals
should prevail. Smith would have been
the victorious candidate by 80 votes.

CITY EMPLOYEES WARNED
TO TABOO POLITICAL TALK
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NoTI-
FIES CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
More Than 1000 Job Holders Affected
by Order, Which Prevents Partcipa-
ton in Present Heated Campaign.

Hist and listen! If you are a civil
service employe of the city and want to
hold your job, keep quiet and meekly
obey orders during the present sizzling
political campaign. All city employees
under classified service are warned in
a circular letter sent to each OF them
this week not to participate in political
campaigns nor to become candidates or
espouse the cause OF any particular can
didate, further than to register their
views at the polls in the same manner
as any other citizen"
The civil service commission, in its
letter. quotes the law regarding polit-
ical activity, and says: In view of
this section of the charter and the uni
versal rules of civil service commits
sions. the Denver commission construes
this provision to mean that persons
within the classified service and enjoy
ing the protection of civil service laws
not only cannot be compelled to con-
tribute time or money for political pur-
poses but that they shall avoid any ac-
tive participation in politics which
would tend to interfere in any way
with their duties to their superiors and
to the public as paid employees OF the
city and county, or subject either them
or the commission to public criticism" !"
The letter further states that Whlle
the spirit and intent of civil service
is to secure efficiency and to protect
men and women in public service from
discharge for political cause, ~the COM
mission will not use the power vested
in it by the charter to protect an EN-.
ploye who has violated politically the
spirit as well rs the letter of the law"
More than 1000 employees are affected
by this construction of the law. and a
copy of the letter has been sent to each
of them.

Anti Prohibition Association of Colora-

zation formed by unions to be most di-
rectly affected by enactment of the
proposed statewide prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution. 1t is
composed OF brewers. bottlers, drivers,
engineers. walters, cooks. bartenders,
cigarmakers and musicians, many of
meut by enactment of the prohibition
law. It is entirely independent of the
association formed by business and
liquor interests. These unions voted to
assess themselves to carry on their own
campaign, a they had 4 moral and legal
right to do, and are using the funds
thus secured to circulate their own lit
erature. engage speakers to visit labor
unions and otherwise enlighten the
working people as to the disastrous ef-
feet enactment of the prohibition amend
ment would have on laboring people OF
this city and state.
Knowing Vessel and Koch as they do,
and the splendid help the unions they
represent and directly concerned have
been in fighting the battles of labor,
and advancing the interests of those who
toll in every sphere of industry, this
attack by a band of fanatics who seek
TO build fence around the state and
compel all who would enter to SUBJ
scribe to their narrow social and eco
nomic views, will have the effect of
arousing the working people to the dam
ger that surrounds them through the
adoption of a law that not only de-
prives thousands of employment, but
creates a condition OF life which none
but self-appointed reformers desire. The
working people will be prompt to resent
this charge that they are the tools and
dupes' of anyone, and will certainly not
consent to be guided in their acts by
those who make malicious attacks upon
those who have held the confidence of
men and women of organized labor for
many years

David c. Coates. formerly lieutenant
governor of Colorado during the Orman

prominent in the organized labor move

pcrs in Denver and Pueblo. has quit
the printing and newspaper business to

an official for the Western Federation
OF Miners, later going 10 Spokane, wberc
he edited the Spokane Labor World
successfully for number of years, be-
ing one of the three city commissioner
elected when this form of municipal
government was instituted there. The
last issue of the Labor World contains
the following announcement:

terest in the printing establishment of
Coates, Hughes & Coates to the Other
two partners in the firm, William J.
Coates and II. l.. Hughes Mr. Coates
is president and general manager OF
the Non-Slip Sidewalk Door Company
and will devote his time to marketing
that article in the different cities
throughout the country. This door has
been proven a success in this city, and
the indications are that it is going to
have a big sale, owing to the fact that
isfaetory door for the purpose that has
yet been invented.
Eight years ago d. c. Coates and his
brother, William J. Coates, associated
themselves with II. L. Hughes, who had
been conducting n printing business
here for several years. Two years later
Mr.. Coates removed 10 Spokane from
the Occur d'Alcnc country and took &C.
tive management of the business and
continued constantly with it. with the
exception of the three years he served
as city commissioner. The Non-Slip
Sidewalk Door Company, to which Mr..

Spokane enterprise, and he will continue

That contractors on the new ColfaS
