The present condition of the state
of Colorado shows how woefully in
adequate "big business is to carry
ON government. For .'big business
always gives property rights the
preference over the rights of man,
and measures law and ethics by dol
lars and cents. Such a policy will
as inevitably lead to disaster as
despotism or anarchy. In fact, it is
a mixture of the worst elements of
both. The rights and the feelings of
human beings, without regard to
their rating on the tax books, must
be consulted in government; else
the blind Samson of discomfort will
always bring down the temple on the
heads of himself and his oppressers.

Mr.. w. ID. earn, who has recently
announced that he will be candi-
date for commissioner for the first
district, says he is much encouraged
by the promises he is receiving of
support. 1t is conceded that nobody
can carry the first district against
Ed Carmichael, but the fact that the
whole county votes on each commits
sioner makes the result uncertain.
Mr.. earn was superintendent of pub
lie instruction for number of years,
and made an excellent record. He
is we'll acquainted and very popular
all over the county. At the same
time, Mr.. Carmichael has not a few
friends in all the precincts, so the
result is not a certainty either way.

In her talk at Fellowship last Fri
day, Miss Agnes ELLEN Harris made
a comparison between the enterprise
o. rural communities in Georgia and
Florida that was most favorable to
our state. She spoke of visit she
had made to school celebration in
Georgia, in a community that in
population and natural resources
was, so far as she could judge, about
equal to the Fellowship neighbor-
hood. But, she said, at the Georgia
gathering there was not single au-
tomobile in evidence. And she
said, pointing out of the schoolhouse
windows, 'sjust look at the autoes
here" AS there were goodly num-
Der of the motor cars in sight, the
property of the people of the COM
munity, Miss Harris comparison was
most convincing and effective.

with several similar ones reported

negroes the South can we'll spare,

unhealthy coast in the world, and
the American negro, whose parents

and their descendants who have gone
there from time 10 time have deter

mass of natives, who are either pa

never stopped TO figure the matter

Among the matters of civic inter
est that should attract attention this
week are the Thursday half holiday
and the Friday night band concert
The benefit and praeticability OF the
former is so we'll established that
there should be very little difficulty
in starting the movement this year.
A few firms have always held out
against the custom. and, we regret to
say, some of those that went into it
last year, backed out. The Star
hopes they will all fall into line and
stay in this year. They do not make
any money by remaining open. as
the great mass of the people are in
sympathy with the custom, and their
sympathy tells on their trade in the
course of the year. As for the band
concert fund, all it needs is for the
