AN APPEAL TO JUsTlcE-LovING
MEN AND WOMEN.
Doing the Square Thins-Are You
One?

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,
together with the Denver Peoples AL
lance, after thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced to
hang Dec. Is, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton

The federal arbitration board,
which heard the plea of $4,000 loco
motive engineers and fremen for
higher pay and shorter hours, has
rendered its decision, and, while
numerous concessions were made to
railroad employees, the two heads of
the enginemen's brotherhood are of
the opinion that the decision is a
farce. The award will be abided by
for years time, however. The
hearing covered a period of several
months and while everything may
not be satisfactory to those con-
cerned. it would seem that the plan
of arbitration is better than strike,
as much bitterness is avoided. The
problem of adjusting differences be-
tween labor and capital is becoming
a stupendous one. as neither side
relishes making any concessions.
There is no doubt but what a solu-
tion will be found in time for this
as for all other industrial problems,
and until then both employers and
employees should endeavor to be fair.

Great Britain begins to realize
that the Germans cannot be driven
out of France and Belgium save at a
tremendous sacrifice of lives, and in
a speech delivered in parliament.
Tuesday night, Lloyd George init
mated that England was doing her
share in keeping command of the
seas and bearing the principal bur-
den Of financing her allies. There is
no weakening on the part of Eng
land, but Georges speech indicates
that she does not propose to reck-
lessly waste the lives of her soldiers
on French and Belgian battle fields.
It begins to look as if the war might
last for years. ~~. =.

MAINT4IN THE ROADS.

After a road has been hard sur
faced or otherwise permanently i'm
proved it should be properly main
tanned. The merest novice in road
building will not dispute the self
evident correctness of this assertion.
It is useless waste of money to per-
manently improve a road and make
no provision for its up-keep. No
road that was ever built, no matter
what material is used in it's con-
struction, will remain in good con-
dition for any length of time unless
it is properly maintained. 1t is a
wise provision of the law which pro-
vides that 20 per cent of the state
road and bridge fund must be de-
voted to maintenance purposes.
In this connection, the following
from the Minneapolis Journal, with
reference to Hennepin county roads,
is right to the point:
''Road authorities have learned at
last that it is quite as important to
maintain good road, after it has
been built, as to build it in the first
place. The county missioners
have therefore set aside a sufficient
proportion of the available road, funds
to keep the paved and macadamized
highways in good condition.
1.-THE old saw, a stitch in time
saves nine, finds pat illustration in
roads. If there is watchful road
member with his eye on his particu-
lar section of road every day, the
CHUCK hole is detected and put to
rout long before it has chance to
become formidable.
1.-The old plan was to spend money
freely on building new roads, and
then let them take care of them
selves till they were all worn out.
Whereupon an expensive new road
way had to be built: In Europe
there are roads that are centuries
old and still in prime condition. The
secret lies in mending the holes in
their incipient STAGE
