| There is one hotel in this city that

aspire to the elegance of some OF the
other hostelries in town. and in face
It has never been advertised as the
othefs have been. Perhaps it is Just

(the greater or less extent being de-
termined by the judicious placing OF
the advertising matter) and strange
as II may appear. the proprietor OF
the hotel to be mentioned is not par
ticularly anxious TO have the rocms
in his hostelry occupied.
The hotel in question is commonly
termed the Hotel de Skinner. and is
located in Canon City's new city hall.
There are but two rooms. both exactly
alike and both cleanly but modestiy
fuEpashed. They each have steel
barred doors TO keep out possible ma,
rauders and likewise keep in their
occupants.
But as has been said. the hotel IL
unpopular and since the city dads
moved into the new city hall. taking
along with them City Clerk Jonathan
Seaman and Water Commissioner
john chetelat. the rooms have not
been engaged even for a night.
The rooms are the two cells to be
used as hoidover for city prisoners
One Is for men and the other for
women. One cell was made of the
steel lining which was formerly In
the vault of the old city hall. which
was torn sown and carted away te

GEORGE AOE QUITS SLANG;

San Francisco. Aug 27.-"How do

Little Fables In slang?"
George Ade regarded his question
er gravely. almost severely. Some
thing very like a shudder passed over
his classic Indian features and up to
the roots Of his iron gray hair He
motioned rather sternly toward a
chair.

Rebuned but not squelchei. the in

There was more OF sorrow than OF

Statistics Make Good Showing

DR.. Oscar Bowling, President of the
Louisiana State Board of Health, is re-
newing his efforts to collect correct
vital statistics of the state.
"If the people of this state realized
that the collection and PRONUNCIATION of
these statistics is the best possible adj
vertsement for Louisiana, they WOnId
SeetO it that their physicians and others
do not forget to report births, mar

Some parishes have seen the good
business sense in this, and as result
they are filling up with desirable class
OF white land buyers and hOmemakerS,
who are attracted by the good health
reports of those localities. Real estate
men, land owners, merchants, auto
mobile dealers, and all who have land,
merchandise or services to sell would

CHEER up

These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever their SYM
pathies. There is little exultdti0n now
even in victories, for we know at what
price i blood ard pain every victory
is won. But there are many things be
sides war in the world. Except our ac'
tive imagiDationS, most Of US would
feel life running on pretty much as
usual. There is the same sunshine, the
same life giving air, the same autumn
Colors in the woods, the same JOY III
bountlful harvestS. There is the same
Queit satisfaction Of soul that has al
ways come with the fall season, Wheth-
er in country Or city. Here, in our
American isolation, we can live out our
lives in spite of wars and rumors OF
wars. There is need, to be sure, OF tax
ing thought for the future, preparing
against the time when war may bring
home to us the wretchedneSS that we
knew half a century ago and that Eu-
rope knows today. But that is mat
ter OF calm decision, not for alarm and
fear. We are today the most fortunate
nation in the world. There is no reason
why we cannot continue so. 1t is a
good time for the nation to take to
heart the philosophy that is preached so
much today to individuals-the philo-
Sophy of confidence, of optimism, OF
positive thought. 1t is right and pro-
prer that we would feel the woes of Eu'
rope, and it is our duty to alleviate
them all we can. But it is wrong to
let those woes weigh on our spirits I'M
til we lose our own buoyancy and poiSe'
It is better to regard the war as doc

something to be cured, whose cure can

WHAT is AN EDITORIAL?

Probably never before in the history
of Journalism have editorials been
more widely read, which means, by the
same token, that never before have
newspapers exercised so wide an influ'
ence. The editorial is an expression OF
the newspapers belief or sentiment. To
be of any value, it must have behind it
the papers reputation for fearleSSneSs,
truth, and fettered inCorruptibilltY,
Without these, the influence OF the edi'
tOrial is nullified before it reaches the
printing press. The newspapers first
duty is to give the news. Its second
duty is to comment on the neWS-ShoW
toward what end the news is tending,
whether political, educational, social
or religious, CrYstaliZe the sentiment in
its particular community in regard to
that tendency, aud, finally, to give its
own honest, unblaSted opinion. Tie
elitor'S duty is a sacred one, and he
should be fully alive to its responsible
ties. His opinion on any subject should
be gwen only after serious study, but,
when It is given, it should be frank ana
above board. No one else is bound to
think as the editor thinks, but the edi.
tors opinions 60 down in black aud
white and ne ought to have GOOD
grounds upon which to base them.
Those reasons, expressed in the editori
al, make it valuable. In TACT the eai.
torial stands or falls because OF the rea.
sons it sets forth showing how the edl-
tor arrived at his opinion The fight
ing editor" is usually man of deep
thought-one who bases his opinions
on solid foundations and is willing
afterward to come into the open and
fight for them.
