Fishing Will Be Good
In Clear Creek Streams

Another lot of English brook
trout, estimated at 10000, were
recently placed in the creek about
one mile below the city reservoir.
The fish came from the state fish
hatchery at Georgetown and were
placed in the creek by Water
Commissioner Thomas A. Jones
OF recent years greater interest
is being taken in providing future
fishing waters in Clear Creek
county, and with some attention
paid to the enforcement of the law
against dynamitine fish, this
county will soon attain reputation
as a fishing resort.

 The drive cf the Austrians and Ger mans eastward from the Transyiva- nian Alps into Moldavia has given them additional points of vantage while Field Marshal yon Mackensen's army, operating northward into Mol david, is approaching the Bridgeheads of Fokshany and Fundeni Between the Buzu River and the Danube, how ever, the Russians and Rumanians continue to hold their positions. In Dobrudja the Russians have been hrown back on the town of Matchin, opposite Brailia. in the fighting on ali the fronts, according to Berlin, more prisoners and much war mater ial have fallen into the hands of the Teutonic allies.

ENEMIES OF EFFICIENCY

BY H. Arlington Bruce

~ Efficiency has many enemies, great and
r. small One of the worst is envy. Another
- is discomfort. A third, of special potency
is worry.
Thousands of men are held back in their chosen
callings for no other reason than that they are
envious and discontinued.
81 wish l were IN John Jones's Shoes" they say
to themselves, with reference to some fellow worker
to whom they are in subordinate position. He
gets far more pay than do and has far easier job
HE doesn't have to come grubbing down here
the first thing in the morning When he does get
in all he has to do is to sit at desk and give or
ders, while l have to slave all day.
ut isn't fair. I'm just clever as he is. But
they boost him along, and never give me chance"
The mental attitude thus voiced is indeed a
dangerous one-though not to John Jones. 1t is
dangerous to the who envious of John
Jones and discontinued at their own slowness of
promotion,
1t tends to make them, consciously or uncon-
scously, careless at their work 1t deadens what
ever little interest they may previously have had
for their work
And work done without the stimulus of interest
is work that is pretty to be badly done
Besides, their envy and discomfort are bound
to affect in some degree their physical health IT,
in addition, they worry over the slowness with
which they are progressing, the consequences to
their health may be doubly serious.
For envy, discomfort and worry truly
polsons as are strychnne, arsenic and prussic acid
They derange the workings of every bodily or
gan-the circulation of the blood, the digestion of
food, the elimination of the waste products of di-
gestion.
AS a result IL becomes increasingly difficult to
work at any high level of efficiency Until soon or
late the envious discontinued, worrying ones will
have real occasion to wonder not when they will be
promoted, but how long they will be permitted to
hold their jobs.
How different the outcome would be if a SEN
slDle mental attitude adopted if those who are
foolishly enviOus would only tell themselves:
John Jones has been promoted faster than l.
and there must be some good reason for it.
perhaps have not worked quite as faithfully
as he. Perhaps he has discovered secret of sue
cess which l have overlooked
L pust study his personality and his methods
II am missing anything that would be to my adj
vantage, certainly ought to find out what it is
Meantime 1 can only congratulate John Jones
and wish him continued good fortune, while set
to work to win promotion myself"
An attitude such as this-absoluteIy free from
the noX1ous ingredients of envy, discomfort and
worry-is one that will help to raise, not lower
the level of efficiency.
And the higher the efficiency level can be raised
the greater the rewards of labor are sure to be.
This is a truth which requires no demonstration.

New York s Election.

Judge John F. Hylan. Democratic candidate,
elected mayor of New York Tuesday by record
plurality The entire Democratic ticket likewise
successful, giving Tammany once more complete
control of all the ctys affairs. John p Mitchell,
the fusonist mayor, outdstanced by Judge
Hylan by more than $4,000 votes, while Morris
Hillqut the Socialist candidate, lacked only few
thousand votes of equang the poll cast for
Mitchell. William NJ Bennett, the Republican
candidate, was poor fourth in the race.
The issues were decidedly confused in
paign that was conducted with more than usual
acrimony and recrimination. Mayor Mitchers adj
ministration had been of marked success in
many respects while in others it had shown an
unaccountabe weakness. He stood forth, however,
a stanch American and undoubtedly
strong. able official He and his supporters brought
national issues to the forefront in his campaign at
lacking the loyalty of Judge Hylan and much of
his following. Judge Hyan, however, declared that
the question of loyalty not of the issues
and directed the major portion of his efforts to
pointing out the shortcomings of the Mitchell admin
istrations handling of municipal affairs In his
statement following the election he says
l want to make it plain to the world that
there issue of Americansim or loyalty
involved, so far as I am concerned. There
could be none for am as good American
any man. as loyal to my flag, as loyal to my
country and as firm and determined in support
of every act of the government in this
any man. 1 ask the editors of the newspapers
in this city and in other cities to give prom
inence to this declaration that there may
not go abroad to the people in this country
who have no appreciation of local situa-
ton the slightest intimation that the ques-
ton of the the policy Of President
Wilson and the United States government is
in the slightest involved.
At time when the entire country including
its chief city should show unbroken unity against
the enemy, Judge Hylan should be taken readily
HIS word not only with respect to his loyalty but
also with regard to his promise to give New
York fair and honest city government 1t rests
with him whether he will become the familiar Tam
many tool or be mayor in the highest acceptation
of that term.
1t is not to be doubted that the misnformed,
malcontents and shirkers lined up with the
forces of Hillquit, the Socialist who
anti-war platform boasting of his refusal to buy
Liberty bonds. While his strength proved unex-
pectedly large, it lacked much of having any de-
cisive value. The strong tide of patriotism and
loyalty everywhere noticeable in this nation must
necessarily have its eddies and undertow.

Germany NO1V a Democracy?

Startling indeed is the statement of Matthias
Erzberger leader of the Centrist party of the Ger
reichstag, that Germany within the past five
days has changed from an autocracy to democ-
racy. The statement of this leader made public
Tuesday fails to indicate in any definite way how
this momentous result has been achieved.
The western world cannot conceive of demo-
cratic Germany with William still emperor and the
Crown Prince still in line for the throne. Nothing
is said in the interview of Erzberger about the
abdicaton of the Emperor or the retirement of the
Crown Prince to meditative solitude. Hence the
assertion that Germany has become democracy
must be taken in very German sense--a German
kutur kind of democracy forsooth
And if any political change has been wrought
in Germany this is indeed what it is, if must
judge by the statement of the Centrist leader for
all he indicates is that the chancellor, Count
Hertling, has to a working agreement
with the leaders of the reichstag and the emperor
has not yet interfered with it booted any of the
present leaders and officials out of office. Quite
enthusiastic is Herr Erzberger this bit OF i'm
perial forbearance for he declares that the past
week has been the most momentous since the
founding of the empire representing permanent
political gain for the German people"
Foreign Minister Won Kuehlmann who is said
to have participated in the agreement wants the
world to know that "a political era has set
In in Germany" the world would certainly De glad
to know that such is the case, but it will require
much proof of it than the rejoicings Of
political leaders over an internal parliamentary
pact.
What the world wants to know than these
things is whether the new political considers
solemn treaties scraps of paper, whether 1t
sanctions Germany's more than barbarous practices
in warfare, whether it condons the murder and out
rage of women, whether it countenances the policy
of the world domination by frightfulness and plots
and lies
1t matters little to the rest of the world what
internal changes take place in the government of
Germany, so long these things remain unatered,
Germany democracy, and still in the grip of Prus
sian militarism! The German mind may be able
to comprehend this, but never the rest of mankind.
