NUMBERRE-
A Week Lost

One week has been lost at Denver
in the attempt by the industrial COM
mission, all too manifest, to fasten
upon property responsibility for a
condition in Colorado that has long
since corrected itself. Not word has
been said or question asked, unless
we have been inattentive or obtuse,
that would convey to the looker-on
the idea that the commission is less
than a court sitting in judgment on
the case of the people against the op-
|erators and the national guard. We
marvel at the commission in exposing
its hand. If the members were men
of real ability they would cover their
prejudices SO that the people might
at least think that what they are after
is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. Their evident
design to try and get" Rockefeller
regardless of the particular situation
are disgusting. The governor of the
state has been shown scant courtesy.
And, after all, who are they and who
cares a rap what findings they make
They will probably be followed by
another committee or commission and
still others ad nauseam.-Boulder
Camera

Listen Daughter

Dad knows that Christmas is COM
ing and so does your mother and your
brothers and sisters. And we all know
what will please you most. So, from
present appearances, you are not to
be disappointed. But you seem to have
the wrong point of view about Christ
mas, honey, and want to set you
right. Christmas is the season for
giving. Get that? The real happi-
ness lies in planning what you are 60
ing to do for others and then doing
it. The real Christmas spirit fills
only those whose thoughts are upon
the happiness they hope to bestow up
on their friends and upon the unfor-
mates who think they have no
friends. Its not SO much what you
give as to whom you give. There is
a poor woman living around the cor
ner. No one ia thinking Of what she
would like for Christmas. She'd be
the second happiest woman in town
il you were to walk in on her early
Christmas morning with gift of
something warm for her to wear. The
happiest woman would be my little
girl who brings it. There is old Black
Jim, who shovels the snow and carries
out the ashes. Never thought of him :?
Well think Of him to he extent of a
pair of warm mittens. Knit them
yourself. Don't know how. Your

How We Get the News

Day before yesterday perfectly
nice lady called us up and with tears
in her voice reproved us for not men
tioning the fact that she had had n
friend visiting her last week. We told
her that she had not let us know any
thing about it and that therefore, we
did not know that she had visitor.
Then she said, "Well you should have
known. l thought you were running
a newspaper" Wouldn't that rattle
your Stats? Some people think that
an editor ought to be a cross between
Argus and Anna Eva Fay. They seem
to think that our five senses are aug
mented by sixth that lets US know
everything that happens, even II we
see, hear, feel, taste or smell it not.
Dear lady, editors are only human,
or at least, almost human. If you
have a friend visiting you, if you are
going away, or have returned from a
visit out of town, if Johnnie falls and
breaks his arm, if your husband chops
his toe instead of stick of wood, if
anything happens that makes you
glad, or sad or happy or mad, call us
up. Tell us about it. That's the way
to get it in the paper.
