The Maiden S Lament

The following lines are said to be the
effort of a seventeen-year-old gisi NV
ing east of Pueblo: -
He came and stole my maiden heart,
From south of Wichita.
He drove across with MIR. Sands,
And worked awhile for pa.
His ewes were blue as the Pawnee sky;
His hair was brown and curly
He drove the header barge and MIXED
And had to get up early.
But now he's went away again,
His face I'll ne'er see more.
NV bruised and bleeding heart is broke,
And crushed and sad and sore.

MAY CHANGE CHARTER. BUT

| see they again talking about presenting to
the voters OF Denver proposition To change our
charter and have a system OF government.
with a consequent new list OF gentlemen and ladies
that could be induced to hold office, alone. oi
course, for the salary that might 90 along with a
job, but for the good OF the people. am
that the proposed change is OF the incubator
and nearly ready to walk Haven't seen the draft
OF the scheme but OF its sponsors outlined it to
me. There has been some little hitch about get
ting 1t started and the petitions for election cir
culated, altho some may have beenl signed up.
One OF the rocks in the road OF the business has
been to get lined up right with the Welton and
Champa street thought moulders. One will or will
not, as the case may be providing certain men
of proposed tickets. The other is in the
same situation and there is much vexation in spirit
in consequence. There is little doubt but ma jor-
ity OF Denver voters will vote for a change from
the present system Rightly or wrongly it doesn't
seem to give satisfaction except to those who are
drawing pay under it. doubt il the dissatisiac-
ton from the system. 1t is mainly because
OF those who have been elected. Too much pea
nut politics. grandstand playing. job singing for
future prefermen toddying this or that inter
est ism or faction. and above all desire to even
up old scores Fact is, Denver doesn't seem to be
able to get out OF the country village class when
IT comes to politics and what goes with il
Whether or not a change OF the charter would
bring relief along such lines, is a guess As to a
reduction in taxation, it is hardly likely But il
the taxpayer could get visible results for his money
! am he would be satisfied. The cost of n
special election would run around the $4,000 mark
but the cost would be insignificant if the business
men, manufacturers, merchants and others could
see assurance OF a surcease OF the pulling and haul
ing and general responsibility that has prevailed
Tor some time. They say they propose TO name
people to fill the various offices in the proposed
charter. II that is done | believe the deal would
have hard Shedding. Too many ambitious people
to satisfy and too many disappointments The
voter will have to be shown that he is going to
get run for his money and the proposed reform
is something more than a wooden horse devised
solely for the purpose OF allowing a number of
trio n,,tG, -1.n
selves on to the public teat.
While it is quite probable that decent and
respectable city government change could get bv
the voter. don't load It down with impossiblcs and
impossibilities. Candidates and office seekers viii
have to be kept in the rear. The voter can be
fooled nearly, but not quite all of the time

Governor Ferguson of Texas points
out, in this language, the reason that
every worker should be a member OF
the union Of his craft: Labor must or
ganize. Let me plead with every man
who earns his living by honest toll to
JON some union. You can be just as
honest outside of union. but you Will
accomplish nothing by yourself If You
have more sense or influence, you ought
to Join the union to give your fellow
man the benefit of your talents. If you
have less sense than the average man,
come in and let the union help you"

Millions upon millions have been added
to the paper value of certain steel plants
and powder factories in the country and
a war of the magnates is possibility,
all because the daughter OF the presi-
dent OF one of the biggest OF these plants
married a German notable and at her
request her father refused to give over
the plant to war contracts. Is this
comedy or tragedy or merely canned
drama?

Denver is in gala attire this week for
the international Farm Congress and

many buildings have genuine holiday

I believe Rockefeller would have profited and
the Mine Workers would have benefited by
meeting and an effort to get together All inter-
ests and certainly the interests OF the state ana
DeoDle would have been advanced by satisfac-
tory settlement of the difficulty. Let us all nope
that the time is not far distant when the waning
factions can be brought together and peace ana
harmony will prevail in the coal fields OF Colorado
DRESS UP NEXT WEEK.
Denver is going to get in line next week with
the rest of the country and dress up, put on the
broad smile of welcome, extend the glad hand and
do herself proud. Our business men and merchants
are boosting the proposition along and are gong
to do their share in the way OF dollng up them
selves, brushing up the front OF the stores, rear
ranging the goods and and asking their en-
ployes to put their glad rags. This dress up
week" is a new movement and extends all over
the country. The idea in general is to have
new sort of celebration and welcome for the
of prosperity that seems to have at last checked in
for indefinite stay. Sort OF Joliication over the
going away of old man Gloom 1t is indeed happy
idea for everyone to put on their best clothes

bors 1t will be contagious and aid in bringing
about of good feeling that will be OF inesti-
mable value. We all certainly have just cause for
rejoicing. We have bountiful crops, industries
starting up workmen finding employment, and
above all free OF the clouds and the
death and desolation that prevails in other
happy countries. There is nothing that makes the
world brighter and the more worth living in than
to cheer up and brighten up. Clean clothes and
bright ties go long way toward bringing har
faces. The wage Garner in Denver should enter
into the spirit of the occasion that will prevail in
Denver from October to the 10 and do his part
and dress right up the same all the rest. The
movement and idea can't help but be winner.
