TO EV0Y CITIZEN

fhese eoAes time in the history Of
evesy saats when, TO save itself from
disaster it must call upon the patriot
ism Of its people In such a time men
lay asiAs the little fears by which their
deeds are restrained, and acting in a
big way - n unit they accomplish re-
suits far beyond the ability of the un-
organized mass In Europe today mil
lions of men are performing wonders of
which they did not believe themselves
capable . few months ago because they
have been welded by patriotism into
great armies actuted by a single pur-
pose If the heroism, the personal sac
rifice, the almost superhuman energies
they are wasting in war were expended
for the ends of peace and prosperity,
there would be no limit to the good
they might attain.
CoasraAo Faces an Emergency
Colorado now faces need that in its
way 10 quite as great ss that whien
confronts any belligerent nation of the
Old Werld. There are hundreds of men
out Of employment. Women and chill
dren in many counties are in want for
the bare necessities of life. The road
work that has been undertaken in the
coal mining counties through the assist
aace Of the Rockefeller Foundation is
only . palliative. A permanent so'u-
tiou can be found for within the state
there are resources sufficient to abolish
all poverty, to give every man . posi-
tion, to preserve every woman and every
child from starvation.
The suffering and distress that exist
in the state are felt by every inhabit-
ant. There is no business, no industry
that does not reflect in decreased .e-
ceipts the pinch of destitution in the
homes Of the poor. If work is found for
idle men, il they are given the oppor-
tunity for productive labor for which
they ask, there is no business, no in
dustry in the state that will not expert
ence the resultant benefit.
m oeate Calls For Patriots
The state of Colorado as a publ:
entity will do its part. As much rs
possible of the public revenue will be
devoted to immediate public improve
ment. The funds at the disposal of the
state highway commission will be used
to build roads in those sections Of the
state where the suffering is most acute.
Unfortunately there is only small
amount Of money available and the
state now calls upon all its people, par
ticularly upon those who are leaders in
commercial and industrial life, to do
their share to create work
It 10 net alone the miners of Huerfaho
and Ias Apimas and Boulder counties
that need work 1t is not alone the ,die
men of Denver, Pueblo, Grand Junction
or any other city that need work. COL
