THE JOYS OF AN EDITOR

IT HE life Of an editor, country or other
wise, is a bed of thornless roses.
If he gets all the news he is suspec-
ted of prying unlawfully into other peo-
pies business, if he misses items of inter-
est, he is not on to his job; if he supresses
the latest scandal he's afraid, if he prints
it he's running yellow paper; if he
conducts an editorial page he's preachy
and thinks overwell of his intelligence, if
he doesn't he's stupid; if he makes money
he's tied up with a CRATER, if he doesn't
he's no business man and an easy mark
if he runs an politically independent paper
he is weak and wishy-washy; if partisan
he is biased and prejudiced; if he is of a
social turn he is not attending to business
if he stays at work he is not a good mixer
if he suggests reforms he is trying to
run the town and the people; if he keeps
quiet he is not progressive and is no boost
er, in fact he gets all the censure meted
out to preachers and teachers and still
stands outside their pale of responsibility
and credited effort.
Even at that an editor finds much joy
and compensation in playing the game
and doing just about as he chooses.

EXTERNAL PEACE"

4 ND suppose, after all, that death
~ does end ALL Next to eternal joy,
next to being forever with those
we love and who have loved us-next to
that, is to be wrapped in the dreamless
drapery of eternal peace. Next to eter-
nal life is eternal sleep. Upon the shad-
owy shore of death the sea of trouble casts
no wave. Eyes that have been curtained
by the everlasting dark will never know
again the burning touch of tears. Lips
touched by eternal silence will never
speak again the broken words of grief.
Hearts of dust do not break. The dead
do not weep. Within the tomb no yelled
and weeping sorrow sits. And in the
rayless gloom is crouched no shuddering
fear.-Robert Ingersoll.

THE WRONG SENTIMENT

~ UT in Colorado the other day John K.
Lawson who has been sentenced to
Imprisonment for a murder he did
not com1nit, made this statement in a
hearing for new trial.
"Solemnly facing iron bars and prison
walls, | assert my love for justice and
my faith in it's ultimate triumph; not a
justice of theory, but of reality extending
to men, women and children whose equal
ity of opportunity it embraces"
Of course the remark did no good, and
Mr.. Lawson's counsel should have so adj
vised him in advance. How much better
had he said:
utterly contentious of iorn bars and
prison walls, l assert my love of dollars and
my faith in the ultimate triumph of prop
erty. With dollars in plenty one can be
guilty or not guilty, no matter how many
men, women and children are crushed in
the struggle"
If Judge CRANKY Hillyer had heard
those words he would probably have
fallen on Mr. Lawson's neck and wept for
joy, and they all would have lived happily
ever after.-Life.

Colorado City. The movement has
been threatened for several weeks by
the annexation faction. whose efforts
to bring up the question of consolid-
alton with Colorado Springs at the
recent election were blocked.
The two commissioners against
whom the recall is aimed prevented
the annexation ordinance. At the re-
cent election W. II. Brenner defeated
Commissioner C. b. Myles by a good
majority and as the annexationist
forces had supported Brenner, they
learned they had sufficient strength
to carry out the recall plan.

THE WAR AS A HELPER.

James B. Duke, in the April number
OF the North American Review. makes
the assertion that the European war
is contributing largely to maintain
ing business in this country above a
much lower level which it was reach
ing before the war began Readers
OF the Globe-Democrat who have fol-
lowed its reasoning that the war
abroad, between industrial powers, had
restored a measure of protection to
our domestic producers by greatly
checking the flood of imports which
had set in, will be interested in know
ing that such high business intelli-
gence as that of Mr.. Duke puts the
same thought in this fashion: In
my deliberate judgment, formed not
without careful thought, it has been
only the war that has prevented our
condition from becoming disastrous
even by this time. The war has thrust
opportunities for export business upon
us, and in the meantime our home
market has. in spite of ourselves, been
left to our own producers, for the sim.
pie reason that Europe cannot at the
same time wage war and produce
goods for the American market"
This strong statement of vital fact

makes neither plea for nor attack upon

COLORADO eLAZES TRAIL TO
SUPPRESS YELLOW PRESS

For the first time in the history of
a commonwealth, an appropriation has
been made from public funds to pros
ecute, through legislative committee.
a daily newspaper. The state of Colo
RADIO has set apart S25,00O to be ex-
pended in a special investigation of
the influence of the Denver Post on
state and city government. The peo-
pie will approve of the investigation,
for they know Phillip B. Stewart is
at the head of the committee and that
the work will be well done. They
know that when Mr.. Stewart gets
through. the influence of the Denver
Post will also be over. For the last
ten years that newspaper, because of
the personal character of it's owners,
has stopped at nothing to reach its
ends. An innocent man is today serv-
ing life sentence in the penitentiary
because that paper bounded him to
prison. Hundreds of business men
have over them the sinister influence
of that publication, while political
leaders and state officials have quak-
ed in fear and done it's bidding. A
few weeks ago they sent word to Phil
Stewart to come across and bow at
their knee. 1t was the one act that
will eventually put them out of bust
ness. SO far as controlling Colorado is
concerned. Phil Stewart replied by
telling them where to head in.
AS rule we would stand for the
newspaper. in fight of this kind.
However, in this fight there is some
thing more at issue than newspaper
ethics. There is something more to
be considered than fraternal friend
ship. The very foundation of the gov
ernment of Colorado is in the balance.
The Denver Post will make the fight
of its life. 1t has millions at its con-
troll, and there is no crime that it will
not commit to head off the fight that
has been directed against it. The de-
bauching influence of the United Mine
Workers of America on Colorado will
be as nothing when compared to the
efforts which will be put forth by the
Post to save itself from oblivion
among the respectability and control
ing elements of this state.
Again, the News is with the com
mittee because the Post does not rep.
resent true journalism in Colorado. 1t
represents everything but true jour
nalism. True journalism builds up;
it tries to assist in making the state
greater in a commercial way and bet.
ter in a moral way. The Denver Post
does neither. Like the bright lights
of the wine rooms, it entices the
citizenship into its net and then ruins
! 1t. We believe that three-fourths OF
the papers of the state will be with
Speaker Stewart and the other mem
tigation. Last year Colorado freed
itself from the twofaced reform ele
ment that had secured control of its
government. 1t yet has one task to
PeiioiH anu thdt ldsh ID the bredteS'
of all, namely: The complete annihi
lation of the influence of the Denver
Post on public life. We believe, un

the other members of the committee
this will be accomplished. When II
has been accomplished, certain 1t is

We are not so sure that the short
be of benefit to the state or productive
of economy. When the people of the
state relinquish their sovereign rights
and allow a governor to choose all the
dent does his cabinet. it is placing
too much power in the hands of one
man. When presidents are selected
they are supposed to be from a class
that have weight with all classes and
parties and for the good of the general
government. But when governors of
states are selected they almost invari-
ably are from a class that WELD politi-
cal power, and in many cases use it
with unscrupulous designs. For a gov
ernor to select the remainder of the
state officers has never as yet been
tried in any state. and Colorado, after
fathering so many progressive laws
that have proven a boomerang, cannot
afford to champion this Innovation. The
people at large have ever been trusted
to make their choice in the selection
of those that are to govern. and 1t Is
one of the inalienable rights handed
down by the trainers of our democratic
constitution. Colorado has been kept
in the limelight for 10, these many
years with untried progressive laws.
and now let us enjoy the coming pros
perity without again being tainted
with more progressive laws that are a
laughig stock of the nation.-Central
