POLITICS SWAY
BUSINESS FIELD
Much UnSetiIement DURING
Week Caused by Situa-
ton at Washington.
BY Henry Cle,1s.

NEW YORK. March G. Domestic
and foreign politics dominate the
entire business situation. and these
again are chiefly influenced by war.
This week more or less unscttlement
prevailed owing 10 fears Of a con-
fict between the president and con-
ETess. Pres't Wilson very properly
desired 20 ascertain the willingness
or unwillingness OF the legislature
TO support him in his negotiations
with Germany In foreign situa-
ton OF such extreme delicacy and
importance as now exists, the chief
executive could not afford 20 risk
EN- barrassment from a division Of
opinion in congress arising from
party politics; hence his bold chal-
lenge TO the senate which brought
out. as expected. solid support. In
its foreign policy at this critical
period, the country must be an un-
questioned unit. and public opinion
should III unsparing terms condemn
taking advantage Of international
situations for partisan purposes.
The consequences of such practices
are far too dangerous 10 permit
their indulgence.
Some Predict Reaction
What Will happen when the war
is over cannot be definitely meas
used. In some quarters there will
be violent reactions as soon as re-
mobilization on peace basis begins,
while in other quarters there will
be resumption Of activities now
held in check. Initiation resulting
from plethora OF money and huge
war purchases has not yet run It's
course; and the higher prices go the
more severe Will be the reaction
The true prevention or Offset against
these contingencies is a clear ap-
probation Of the inevitable: follow
ed by thorough preparedness for the
event when II arrives. Fortunately.
our big Industrial leaders and our
prominent bankers are keenly alive
20 the economic dangers OF the
times, and are setting their course
accordingly. The turn. when IL
comes. will find them entirely ready
10 take advantage of new conditions.
IN many cases current large profits
are being utilized 10 wipe out in
debtedness and 10 lower fixed

Our foreign trade is gradually re-
turning TO more normal conditions

ment and larger imports. The ex-

December. compared with S267.sO1.-
$40 a year ago. Both weekly and
monthly exports have lately been
running upon a smaller scale, chief
ly owing TO lessened shipments Of
munitions. breadstuffs and other
raw materials. The largest gains
have been in exports Of manufac-
tured products. Imports have lately
shown gratifying Increases. the total
for January being $1S4,OOO. 900. an
increase Of $50. 900. 600 This is the
highest January on record. and com
pares with 1922. 900. 600 a year ago
and 100000 in 1913. The in
crease in imports was mainly Of raw
materials and non-dutiable goods. AS
a result the excess of imports was
less embarrassing. and tends TO i'm
prove the foreign exchange situa-
ton. Securities are still being re-
turned on a considerable scale from

pronounced than a few weeks ago

When Will Tramway
Be Running Up Town?

Just when the tramway cars
will be brought up town rests
with the public spirit of our clti-
Zcns and the fairness of the gen
tlemen who owns the land thru
which the right of way must be
obtained. The latest proposition
made for the strip of land which
contains about two-thlrds of an
acre. was that he would take
$500. The committee feels that
this is too much as by taking Off
the diagonal strip it squares up
his other land and more than
that it should be "A benefit to the
owner Of the land as well as any
one else. It is doubtful if he
would eyer find a private indl-
vidual who would pay him that
amount. Another question 10
settle is who is going to pay The
money for this Improvement?
Ifthis land is purchased it will
have to be done by donations
from the people Of the town.
F. S. Bobb returned Saturday
from an extended trip to the
coast, visiting Los Angeles. and
several towns along the coast AS
far AS Santa Anna. He visited
his brother in Oakland. He
made tour Of the orange or

very nattering. His trip was
his first visit to California and

and pleasure it was doubly en-.

Staley Returns from Con-
vention Greatly Enthused

Hon. Wesley Staley hove in
from st Louis Monday afternoon
where as he expressed it, he had
the time Of his life. Mr.. Staley
was most enthusiastic over the
results Of the convention and
what he heard and saw while
there and enroute home. His
face bcamed with eXultation rs
he told Of the great demonstra-
tons for President Wilson at the
convention and of the CONVERSE
tons he had had with men from
all over the United States of all
political creeds who had express
sed a preference for the presi-
dence and who told Of the gener-
al feeling that prevailed in their
parts of the country. In speak
ing of the demonstration for
President Wilson at the conVen-
ton which the News grudging-
ly gave as sixteen minutes and
the Post as forty-tive minutes,
Mr.. Staley said that it was near
er forty-eight minutes and that
he never saw such pandemon-
ium in his life. His great en-
thusiasm is taken by local Dem
ocrats as a great inspiration.
While they h ave felt that the
convention was not lacking in
spirit and that President Will
sons reelection is assured, they
feel that such cXuberance on the
part Of Mr.. Staley, who is not Il
man who enthuses without just
cause, is the occasion for incrcas-
ed optimism as to the outcome
of the coming political conflict.

A Good Road to Denver

Some Of our business men who
have said that they considered a
good road between Arvada and
Denver a better investment than
money expended for Strawberry
day may have a chance to show
how much they meant by that
line of talk.
or course almost everyone is
willing to coIcedc that this is Il
fact, but the question has been
asked will these same men
come acrossY"
1t has been suggested by some
of these men that it would be
well to start a subscription paper
right away and strike while the
iron is hot. 1t has also been
suggested that if sufficient mon
cy can be raised in this manner
that "A contract be let to some
or our local transfers to do the
work of suriacing this road and
IeveIing it up and put it in good
shape.
The Enterprise believes that
this would be capital idea an d
tho we are not a banking insti-
tuition on anything OF the sort
we will give something besides
hot air" toward this work.
We would suggest that "A com
mlLtee be appointed from the
Community Club to solicit funds
for this purpose. We further
suggest that sn estimate Of the
cost Of putting this road in first
class condition, be first obtained
and a stipulated amount be de-
cidcd upon. Then let each man
or business concern who is inter
cstcd in this road subscribe
what they feel they can spare
on condition that if "A sufficient
fund is not forthcoming they
viii not have to pay
In this way the road viii
either be assured or there will
be no money TO pay.
In such instances occasionally
you viii find some willing to
Spring" themselves just Il little
bit more to attain a certain end.
What do you say, folks?

Arvada Now Has
a Good Restaurant

Arvada has a 'Clark'S reStau.
rant now, run by people who
know how, having had the eX-
perience.
The editor dropped in to get
acquainted and found them very
pleasant people. They are now
open for business and we trust
that the people of Arvada, who
have experienced the embarrass-
ment of having to apologize to
visitors every day for the past
several weeks will show their
appreciation to these worthy
people by dropping in once in a.
while and buying a meal wheth-
er you need it or not.
You men invite your wives to
step out of the hot kitchen on
Sundays and go down to Clark S
restaurant and get a good Sun
day dinner.
Arvada now can boast of a
Clarke restaurant as well as her
suburb Denve.
In order that you may know
who Mr.. and Mrs. Clark are we
publish what the Idaho Springs
papers say about them:
Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Clark, who
have made quite a reputation for
themselves as caterers while con-
Quoting the Columbine Cafe for
about a year, left for Arvada
Tuesday, where they will engage
in the pleasant pastime of feed
ing the hungry and they certain
ly know how to prepare and ca
ter to the wants of their patrons.
Idaho Springs Siftings.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Clark, who
have conducted the Columbine
restaurant at 18th and Miner,
have removed to Arvada where
they will continue in the same
line of business. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark built up Il nice trade here
and made many friends who re.
greet their departure. They wish
to thank the friends and patrons
for the many favors shown. 1t
was their plan to sell the restau.
rant but not being able to dc
that quickly, and having another
opportunity that called for quick
action, it was deemed best to re
move the restaurant furniture
and equipment to the valley. -

tally extended on every hand
was gratefully received by both

War Echoes In

duty in yielding up the flower of
her young manhood.
First among them to be called
to the front was Herbert
Schwamb, tall, handsome and
brave. Herbert has been attend
ing the William Jewel College at
Liberty. Mo-, and while there
enlisted in the National Guards.
He arrived home Tuesday at
noon and was a little surprised
to find a message awaiting him
ordering him to return on first
train to Nevada, Mo-, the place
Of mobilization. His father met
him at the train and took him
home to say a hasty farewell and
return to- report for service.
He did not finch or hesitate
and if he sees actual service we
feel certain that he will be found
true to his colors. He is Just
the kind of material that makes
up the soldlery of the land, and
we would not be surprised tC
hear Of him later as Lieutenan,
or Captain Schwamb. Coco

Many Taking In.
terest in Springs

Many people are taking an in
terest in the newly discovered
radioactive spring water at
Oberon, and are inquiring when
the baths will be installed. 1t
might be well to explain that
while this is not a stock selling
proposition 1t nevertheless will
require the sale Of a certain a.
mount of stock to make the nee
essary improvements. The in
tention, however. is to start in a
modest way by establishing a
tunnel bath and a house tent
colony where tents may be rent
ed by the patients. This may at
first seem like a small matter,
but it must be remembered that
the purchase of the land and all
of these improvements are in the
consideration. A block of about
10, 900 shares of stock will have
to be sold at par value $l.00 to
float the enterprise. The talk
Of building a hotel, at the pres
ent time, at least, has been a
bandoned, as that entails a vast
expenditure of money and proves
in most cases to be a cumber-
some proposition. By starting
in modest way, the reputation
Of the springs and baths will be
built up first and the Injuries
such as hotels and cottages will
come later. One reason for this
is that the Oberon Springs are
so conveniently located with ref
erence to Denver and the sur
rounding territory from which
many of the patients will come,
so that they can take advantage
of the baths BY daily trips from
their homes or hotels. The an
alysis of these waters is a guar
antee of the success of their de-
velopment when it is seen what
has been accomplished at Idaho
Springs and elsewhere with wa
tiers not nearly as strong.
DR.. Wintermeyer, the attend
ing physician, has several pa.
tents ready to take the treat
ments as soon as the bath ac.
comodations are ready.
The Enterprise believes that
this is good local proposition
and that it will bear closest in
vestigation and that cooperation
both morally and financially by
the people of this community
should be back of it. At least
don't pass it up until you have
Investigated.
A meeting has been called for
Friday tomorrow evening, and
all interested citizens are invited
to meet with the members of the
company and hear what they
have to say.

c. N. Duncan Has
a Narrow Escape


breadth escape from death about
10 O'Clock Monday morning
while doing some work at the
top of a pole at the corner of the
Arvada Lumber Co.'s yards.
His calls for help and the quick
presence of mind of his wife
who was in the office only so
yards away was all that saved
him from being electrocuted.
The fact is, had it been man of
less rugged physique he prob
ably would not have survived the
shock.
Mrs. Duncan heard his cries
and intuitively felt that her hus-
band was in peril of being cleo
trocuted and she rushed to the
big switch board and cut off the
current.
In the meantime several OF the
business men rushed to his as
sistance and a ladder was
brought and a rope was connect
ed with Mr.. Duncan's anchor
belt and he was let down, by his
own direction. AS soon as he
reached the ground he tainted
away and was carried into the
rear of the First National bank,
where Doctors Russell and Nor
ian assisted by several Arvada
citizens resuscitated him and
brought back the circulation and
respiration by heroic methods.
Mr.. Duncan soon revived sutfici-
emily to make suggestions as to
the treatment realizing that he
had undergone terrific shock.
The accident happened while
he was using pair of plyers.
He was working with one arm
over the guy wire which leads
t. the anchor about 50 felt AVA,
and uncunsciously came in con-
tact with the guy wire when the
dead" wire which he was hold
ing with the plyers in the other
hand touched the live" high
voltage wire which formed a cir
cult which sent 1900 volts thru
his body to the ground. He was
unable to release his hold and
but for the heroic work of Mrs,
Duncan in running to the
transformer room and throwing
the three big switches. which
she never had dared touch be-
fore he would undoubtedly have
been killed by the shock.
1t was perhaps one minute
before the current was shut off,
and men were standing about
unable to give him assistance.
He was taken to his home a
bout an hour later and recover
ed sufficiently to be on the job
again next morning. He says
he does not remember how he
got down from the top Of the
pole.

Democrats Have
Another Big Time

If the jefferson county Demo,
Gratis are not a unit in this falls
campaign it will not be the
fault Of the forty who gathered
at the Crawford house in Golden
Monday night to enjoy little
banquet and a feast Of orator..
cal nOurishment.
This was the second meeting
Of this kind and altho many
were not there who attended the
former meeting because of un,
avoidable circumstances there
were enough of them there tC
lend enthusiasm to those who
had assembled in the same
cause.
The proprietor of the Craw-
ford house, who by the way,
had just reopened the comfort
able old hostelry, had the dining
room well equipped for taking
care Of the company and they
sat down to one long and two
smaller tables covered with
snowy white linen and adorned
with large boquets of red roses.
1t was imposing and inviting and
everything was done to make
the guests feel at home. The
menu was appetising and salts
flying, consisting of cold meat
sandwiches, head lettuce salad,
fruit salad, ice cream and cake
and coffee.
After the repast, Chas. Pike,
chairman of the arrangement
committee, called the meeting
to order and calico Samuel 6.
johnson, District attorney, and
candidate for reelection, to the
chair.
Mr.. johnson accepted the hon
OF rather reluctantly, stating
that he did not want to be in the
position as tho he was trying to
run things as that sort of spirit
often brought grief 10 the aspir-
ant.
AS usual, however. Mr.. John.
son delivered himself of very
tactiul and interesting speech
bearing on the political situation
and reassuring his hearers that
Wilson and Democracy is bound
to win this fall.
Then followed remarks from
many of the old wheel horses OF
the party, interspersed by in
spring talks and helpful sugges.
tons from the younger Democ-
racy who are throwing them
selves into this campaign with a
vim.
The hour was late when the
meeting broke up, those from
Arvada returning home on the
"owl' car.
The committee decided to call
another meeting at Morrison on
Friday evening, June 80, when
all Democrats in the county are
urged to be present,
The following Democrats were
present:
