Denver labor bulletin., 1917-07-07

eliminated, whlch proved dlSappOlnt-
ment to some of US young kids, but
perhaps was necessary in war time to
save powder for other exigencies. Pic
mic parties in the various parks, hikes
in the mountains and auto trips at
tracted thousands of citizens. Not a
single fatality was recorded, due per-
} haps to the almost total absence of
any taint of rowdyism or overindul-
gence in booze. The Fourth of July in
a city where saloons have been abol-
ished brings home the great benefits
that result therefrom.
j GODFREY SCHIRMER, president of
III the German American Trust COM
pany, is citizen of whom Denver,
the state of Colorado and the entire
nation has a right to be proud. No
more loyal or patriotic man can be
found anywhere. AS an evidence of
the great trust and confidence reposed
in him, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo has designated Mr.. Schirmer
and his bank to be custodian of the
thirteen million dollars subscribed to
the Liberty Loan in Denver. All pay
ments on these bonds will be turned
over to the German American Trust
company. In appreciation of this sig
nal confidence Mr.. Schirmer says:
"There are supreme moments of graft
fication and happiness in the lives of
most men. l believe for me one of
these periods came when the United
States government appointed the in
stitution, of which l have the honor
to be president, custodian of all the
collateral security for Denver's sub
scription to the Liberty Loan"

/ EARLY Monday morning the o. P.
/ r. waited at the office door of the
Denver branch of the Western
/ Newspaper Union in order to be first
to greet Manager Charles F. Wads-
worth upon his arrival. We were
anxious to get The Bulletin listed as
prospective purchaser of the w. N. U.
plant as "old junk" Saturday, in the
] United States circuit court of appeals
in Chicago, Charles Evans Hughes,
once a candidate for president, ap-
peared as attorney for the American
Press Association and the Western
/ Newspaper Union, and declared that
unless the injunction issued by Federal
Judge Landis in 1912, restraining these
two organizations from combining, is
revoked or modified, they will have to
go out of business and sell their plants
for junk" In view of the fact that
The Bulletin depends upon the West
ern Newspaper Union presses for do
ing that part of our work each week,
we naturally concluded that it might be
well to purchase the entire outfit when
it goes on the block for cold junk" !"
When Manager Wadsworth finally ap-
peared and the o. P. placed the matter
before him, Charlie smiled and said:
"Wait awhile. The profits we make
out of The Bulletin may help US to
side-step the junk pile"
