He has a rumebr of old friends who
live in Arvada, who formerly lived in
Georgetown. and who were introduce
ing Mr.. White around. The editor Of
the Enterprise was not at home, 30
did not have the pleasure Of meeting
him. However. you will find Mr..
Whites advertisement in another col
umn Of this paper, which gives you an
idea OF who he is and what he wants.

In the same light they both are
perfectly willing to take all the
abuse that may come to them from
time to time, prompted by profess
ional and (of course) assumed indig-
nation, 50 long as the profits an
circulation books prove to them, be-
yond the peradventure Of doubt.
that they are publishing precisely the
kind of paper that the people Of
Denver demand, will buy, and read
and patronize, to a greater extent,
to the thousand of population, than
those of any other city in the world.
In conducting the personal side Of
the Post, Bonfils and Tammens are
absolutely impersonal, they play no
favorites, they cut, slash and blud-
geon in any and all directions, reac-
ting to Denver's unholy appetite TO
a cutting, slashing and bludgconing.
Personally, they indulge in no such
practices. In their personal rela-
lions with the world, Bonfils an
Tammens act the part Of clever If
avericious, human beings, endow
ed with a very liberal amount Of
mental acumen and a quality of en-
ergy that has urged them on to the
accumulation Of joint fortune Of
more millions of dollars than Denver
Is aware Of. Whatever Bonfils and
Tammen may be in their individual
capacity however, has nothing to do
whatever, with the ethics, character
news or makeup (red ink and all) of
the Denver Post. In all it is, and
all 1t stands for, the Denver Post is
precisely the kind and class of pa
per that a vast majority Of the peo-
pie Of Denver want. Whenever
different kind Of a paper is in gen.
eral demand, no two men in the worl
will sense and meet the demand
quickly as will Fred Bonfils and
Harry Tammens-purely from selfish
promptins, they will do it.
The people of Denver are chained
to the chariot wheels of the Denver
Post by bonds of their own forging.

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF

On the eve of the campaign fer
the Fourth Liberty Loan it is well to
leek back over the record of the
Third Liberty Loan for this district.
The Tenth Federal Reserve District
comprise the states of Colorado,
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Okla
homa. New Mexico and Wyoming
All these states, with the exception
of New Mexico and Wyoming are
divided into Liberty Loan districts
there being SO such districts in all.
counting the states of Wyoming and
New Mexico each as one.
In all these states and districts
quotas were assigned.
The standing of the ten highest
districts in per cent of the quota
raised is as follows:
Fifth District, (Jeff. co., Colo 27O
Ninth District, Colorado. go. 234
First District, Colorado. 49,. 22S
State of New Mexico. ....... 220
Fifteenth District, Colorado. 1919
Fourth District, Missouri. e.. 1876
Seventh District, Colorado. =. 1875
Sixteenth District, Colorado. 1911
First District, Missouri. 80. 100
Second District, Colorado. -. 100
Our District, therefore, stands at
the head of all the districts in the
Tenth Federal Reservt District.
The quota assigned US was 500
800, and we took bonds to the
amount Of $243,500 or 270 per cent
of the quota. There were few other
counties that equaled or exceeded
this record, but no district as such
came near it.
1t is well to bear this in mind, 10
that when the Fourth Liberty Loan
Is called for and our quota is rs.
signedus,th we may work just as
enthusiastically to make the same
creditable showing. Now is the
time to prepare for IL.

We're they not 50 exasperating at

pulchritude which, like unto that Of
the lilly and the rose, can not be
improved upon by painting or by

The Governors publicity COM
mittee Chiefs, having access to the
records Of the various State War
Boards, are delving deep in an at
tempt to prove that the Post is pro-
German, seditious and devilish.
In the meantime the merchants
and big advertisers are expressin
their chronic indignation over the
awful depravity Of the Post by crow
ding its columns with advertising, on
week days, and examining them on
Sundays.
The great body Of the peopl
give vent to their outraged feelings
by buying copies of the Post by tens
of thousands every day and reading
them with eagerness and satisfaction.
However that may be-what we
had in mind to say was this, to-wit:

2 The rights, liberty and property of the poor

LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC
Class in First-Ald Work Promptly Proved That "Nerve" Was Thing
 They Lacked.

A doctor of a small town of central Missouri was instructing class of 80 enthusiastic young women in first aid work.
 The lesson for the evening was on nerve, and he was endeavoring to en- Tighten them as to just what was meant by nerve" and how 1t was es- pecially necessary in the case of acci- dents
 The instructor continued by saying distinguished physician. had said that "Nerve means you must be cool, you must be very cool, you must be - cool"
 Just as he finished this explanation, a scream was heard outside, followed by several pistol shots. The outer door into the basement of the town library, where the class was being held, was flung open. Two men, struggling to- getheT, their clothes drenched in blood, rolled down the steps into the room.
 There were mOans from the writhing forms on the floor, but the class did not hear them. They had flown, not only to the outer door, but to friend ly shelter across the street.
 Nor, when the doctor went across to them, and explained that the shooting affray was only a sham one between two college boys, which he was using to illustrate his lecture, would they re- turn.
 They had completely lost their nerve" they explained, and their nerves were so shaken they must go home at once, and go they did.

HUMORIST HAD LAST LAUGH
How Mark Twain Turned Joke on Vi- enna Authorities Will Be New
 Story to Many.

The letters of Mark Twain record but little concerning the years he spent in the Austrian capital, the Christian Science Monitor observes. The humorist did some special writing for American papers during those "Wanderjahre." Indeed the Vienna Journalists took him to their hearts as a colleague of a particularly genial type and OfteA invited him to q friendly spread" at which the guests were members of the Austrian fourth estate. The story of how he got into trouble with the authorities, through the indiscretions of a Vienna journal ist, has probably never been published
 As the tale goes, a certain reporter, either in a faeetious or a vindictive moment, gave out that Mark Twain had been seen suspiciously lettering about the bridge which spans the Danube canal near the Ring strasse, and not far from the Hotel MetropOle, at which the ClemenSes lived. Mark could not let this reflection upon his character go unchallenged. He hastened to ex- plain-to apologize, in fact, for having given the authorities the slightest : anxiety about him.
 The explanation was thoroughly Twainlike. He had found by the bridge the longest German word he had ever seen and, in order to compre- bend it in all its longitude and lati- tude, he had pinned one end of 1t to the bridge with the idea Of unfolding 1t! Bearing his precious burden with him, he came to the opposite end of the bridge, only, alas, to find that he still had yards to spare! The apology was accepted with many broad grin.

AZ YEARS SERVICE

For forty-seven years The Con- necticut Western News has been at the service of the people of Western Connecticut, and while it is only in it's prime when compared with some of the papers about the state, it has nevertheless recorded many striking changes in this community and vicin- ity and has faithfully recorded all happenings of interest during these years. This is the duty of every newspaper, and we feel that The News has endeavored at all times to fill the need in community such as this for home newspapers news paper that will have tendency to- ward uplift and general community expansion for the benefit of all.
 The News was founded in 1871 by the late Joseph L. Pease, in the town of Salisbury, before there was a railroad through this section of the country, and has never missed an issue since that time, although there have been many occasions when it seemed doubtful, due to circum-

Gifted Writers indoIent.

De Quincey has called Coleridge "a man Of infinite title pages" and he says he heard Coleridge admit that a list of the Jlis he Il ,.ditated L 1t never executed would fill Il large vol ume. In this respect the two opium eaters were rivals. Perhaps their fer tility in projects Was due, as Colerldge fancied, to an overactivfty of thought, modified by constitutional indol- ence," and had nothing to do with opium. On the other hand De Quin- cey believed that his opium eating pre- vented Him from writing the book he intended to make his life work, the slow and elaborate result of years of toll, to which he had presumed to give the title of an unfinished work of Spinoza's, viz, De Emendatione Hu- mani Intellectus.' In a later mood he devised "Prolegomena to All Future Systems of Political Economy" and made arrangements with a provincial printer for its productioa. but its au- thor never even got as far as the pre- face.

stances beyond control. Starting with four 8-column pages, which was the accepted style at that time, it continued in that form until 190C, when it was changed to an eight page, six column paper, which has generally been adopted as the stand ard size. In 1876 the plant was moved to this town and has constant ly been improved until there is little needed to make it one of the most up-to-date country offices in the state.
 Founded during the reconstruc- tion period shortly after the Civil war, the News has passed through many strenuous times, but none more strenuous than that through which we are now passing. The war has made demands upon every person and industry, and the news papers have not been overlooked, nor do they wish to be. But even though the cost of raw material ad- vances with leaps and bounds, it is hard for the average person to un- derstand why newspaper should in- crease the price of subscriptions or advertising. We do not wish to in- crease either the price of the paper or the advertising, nor have we any intention at this time to do so, but in order to continue the publication of a newspaper such as has been is- sued in the past, we must have more cooperation from the people of this community, relative to subscriptions and advertising.
 Over one thousand newspapers have ceased publication in the United States in little more than year, due to the inability of the owners to meet increased costs and pass them on to the consumer. Now the government has raised the newspaper postage rates 75 per cent and has made other restrictions which make it still more difficult to do business and in order to meet these increases, we must do a greater amount of business. We shall endeavor to merit this increase by giving the people of this vicinity as good a weekly paper as it is pos sible to print; by giving all square deal and to seek at all times the op- portunity to boost the community, it's business houses and industries.

POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
British Naval Base of Wel-Hei-WeI Has Decidedly Few Attractions
 for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wel is the bit of Chinese ter rftory that the British hold under lease as naval and commercial base. It is just across the breadth of the Shan tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei hei-wei lies partly on the mainland, partly on an island, where the dock yard, the coaling station and the rest of the machinery for naval base are located. Most of the civilian popula- ton live on the mainland, and patron ize a little steam launch that plies across the intervening sea when they want to go shopping; for with an eye to getting the British tackies' trade when warships put in 10 coal, the shops of Wei-hei-wei are out with the docks and the coal yards.
 The island seen from the steam launch Is q barren, sandy hill, ridged with gullies that the hurrying rain wa ter has cut in its course to the sea. The sand of these hills Is one of the omnipresent features of the colony {; every wind that blows carries 1t about by pounds, and only the cheapness of Chinese servants makes Ii possible to keep a European household dusted.
 The mainstreet on the island has the characteristic British colonial look, with a British post office, a British steamship booking office, and British shops. On the short side street are the Chinese shops, which are only opened at certain seasons when visitors are plenty, or when q warship puts in to the hppbor.
