SPIRIT OF THEN AND NOW

When war with Spain was declared
their employment and went to the
front in defense of their country.
When the war was over these young
soldiers returned home and in a ma
jority of cases found their jobs filled
by other people and themselves out
of employment and without PROSPECTS
for the future. Such was the re
ward OF valor in lS9S.
Today thousands of the principal
business institutions OF the country
are announcing that all members of
the National Guard who have respond
ed to the presidents call will not only
find their jobs waiting for them on
their return but will have their full
salaries paid to their families during
their absence. Such is the spirit of
1916.
a little reflection should convince
the most skeptical that not all Of the
patriotism of this country ftSs in
the veins OF the man with gun. The
civilian has his duty to perform. and
he. too. performs it as the man he
Is.
The one grasps mis- gun aus g.,es
out to fight the battles OF his country.
while the other supplies the sinevs
of war with which in time should
prove invincible. Let Us hope that
such It may be.

MANY AUTOMOBILE
TOURISTS COME HERE

A great many automobile tourists
river states have visited Canon City
during the last few weeks. Just
how many of them have included
Canon City in their itinerary of the
state it is impossible to state with
any accuracy as no registration OF
such visitors is required by the au-
thoritjes here. Practically all OF
them make the trip over the Skyline
drive and the majority of them make
the run to the sop OF the Royal Gorge.
Although the greater number of
the machines coming here this yeaI
are Fords, there appears to be a lar
ger proportion OF other makes this
summer than was the case twelve
months ago. Some of them have four
wheel trailers attached to carry
camp equippage and such baggage as
is needed for summers outing in
the mountains; others are crowded to
the point of inconvenience by tentage,
provisions etc.
These motor tourists all express
themselves as being delighted with
Colorado roads, the mountain scenery
and the climate; which is most
agreeable TO those who come from
the plains states where there is
level. monotonous landscape. frequent
iy muddy public highways and tenn
perature that is depressing in the
extreme. Some of these visitors made
the trip over the Rainbow route to
Salida and on to the western slope;
others go from here to the Cripple
Greek district All OF them camp out
at night and find the experience
healthful and enjoyable.

obtained in cases OF acute rheumatism
