THE HOUR TO AWAKEN,

DO very many. people in the Unit
ed States realize just how fortunate
we are anyway?
An expert writes from England
that London alone will have to buy
5000. 100000 worth of goods from
America in the next few months to
take the place of the goods that we're
bought last year from Germany and
Austria. What is true in London is
true in two-thirds Of Europe.
From the European point of view,
the United States is haven of peace
and security and prosperity compared
to Austria, or France, or Germany
or Servia, or Great Britain, or Rus
sia, or Belgium. Every tenth Briton
has enlisted, every tenth Frenchman
is at the front, every tenth Belgian
| is dead.
What does the United States know
of trouble-thut is, real trouble :?
What does it know of battlefields a
hundred and fifty miles wide and arm
les that are greater than the entire
population of Texas? What does it
know of graves that are nine miles
long and a hundred yards wide? What
does it know Of country like Bel
gium, country that was full of pros
perity and substantial things that is
now nothing but 10000 square miles
of wreckage?
I What we need to realize in Ameri-
ca today is how fortunate we are
and how great are our opportunities.
We ought to get to work and make
ready for the moset tremendous bust
ness boom and nation ever had. We
ought to build more factories, train
more statesmen, borrow more money,
go ahead and thank God that we are,
alive and living in land that is at
peace at time when nearly the whole
world is at Wichita Beacon.
The above is good logic, but we
would like to ask the celebrated Will
liam Allen White, the editor of the
Beacon, if we should also be thankful
for nasty war tax in times of peace.

Industrial Peace.

Capital and labor, clasp hands!
This will not only bring you mutual
happiness, but it will increase your
opportunities. There is sufficient in
telligepce here; there is here spirit
of justice strong enough to unravel
every perplexing difference between
you. In this era of civilization nei-
ther capital nor labor should go back
to the dark ages to get the weapons
with which to carry their point.
Henceforth Colorado will not tolerate
it. Capital and labor help us build.
We need your energies, your intelli-
gence. II you differ among your
selves, or sc to government policy,
you have your legal and peaceful rem
cdy. 10 th;s you must restrict your
selves. If heretofore too intense
spirit Of industraliasm has prevailed
let it be supplanted by a bigger,
brouder spirit of statehood. Out of
our many ills and sorrows, let US
build reunited, Greater Colorado.

While lame in most respects, The
Herald commends the administration
note to Great Britain. 1t was un-
doubtedly prepared by some of the
old time international law students
that have been serving in former ad-
ministrations, with possible touches
here and there by Wilson and Bryan.
1t requires men who have devoted
| their life to international law to han
die such matters and nine times out
of ten the head men are more figure
heads. There are few notable ex-
ceptions-the late James G. Blame and
John Hays, and Senator Root and Mr..
Olney, the latter serving as secretary
of state in the Cleveland cabinet.

There are no flies in Havana. The
temperature does not go below 54
Therefore flies could multiply all win
ter long. The people eat in the open.
Therefore, there should be plenty of
fly food. The smaller towns have
flies in abundance Nature has done
its share to provide flies for Havana.
Why, then, is Havana flyless? Be
cause man has done enough to pro-
tect himself. Obviously what Havana
has done any American community
can do. What has been done? The
city has been made clean. The streets
are clean. The homes are clean.
Nothing is thrown on the ground in
Havana. The courtyards as well as
the floors are kept immaculate. The
manure of livery stables is deposited
without delay in cave. AT 10 o'clock
each night all wastes are hauled out
by the city. This includes stable man
ure, garbage, street sweepings, and
rubbish. At 12 O'Clock begins the
sweeping and washing of the streets.
The street cleaning is not done until
after the manure wagons and garbage
wagons have passed on.

At last Fabian is behind prison
bars after long years of uphill work
on the part Of prosecuting officials.
For long time Fabian has evidently
gone on the theory that he was bomb

ers sooner or later come to grief and
Fabian is no exception to the general
rule. Just why it is, that so many

Of the state is hard to understand.
We have never known, even never
heard, of bootlegger becoming rich

continually in trouble and the only
way we can account for their insist

for doing something that win keep

The connection of Frank Marrs with
the Telluride hold-up is somewhat of
a surprise to many of his former Du-
range friends. The writer heard a
business man remark when Marrs was
first arrested that he was not guilty
that he would trust Marrs any
time. True, Marrs made gambling
his profession and association prob
ably led him to commit the crime, al
though he was regarded square"
sport, playing the game" honestly.
Had Marrs been willing to do honest
work on the farm or other manual
employment he would not now be
threatened with term in the peni-
tentiary from which he will emerge
as a convict, forever disgraced among
relatives and friends.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.


President Wilson does not like the
immigration bill because of the
reading test, or educational feature.
1t is difficult matter to determine,
because looking back over our history
it is certain that some big events
would have been changed if the un-
settled immigrants who accomplished
them had been compelled to take the
literacy test on arrival. A man who
cannot read may be very good citi-
zen, and vice versa. Still, what other
sieve is there? They should not be
barred for lack of height, or weight,
or muscle, and still, in view of the on
coming rush that is sure to follow in
the wake of the great war, there is a
general feeling that something SHOULD
be done to check the elements ftat

Even in prosperous Iowa there are
thousands upon thousands of worthy
poor seeking employment and some
thing to eat. We note by Des
Moines paper that the city officials
are burdened with appeals for work
and food and an appeal is made to
people who have work to give it to
the needy instead of doing it them
selves. These are sure Democratic
times, although with our president,
who is drawing $4,000 a year and
about as much more for expenses,
and Bryan, who draws $4,000 from
the government and as much more
from the Chautauqua circuits, may

The confession of Pete Wakelin in
connection with the recent Telluride
hold-up and wounding of the marshal
is fair illustration of the fate of
the young man who makes pool rooms

unless scientific breeding becomes
general and the slaughter of calves

America will find herself in the class

Such is the prediction Of Henry j.

at $40 pair are possibilities in the
next two years, in the opinion of gov
ernment and stockyards experts, af-
ter taking census of the cattle in

supply less than $4,000, 900 head. AS
this includes calves, yearlings and
