what he thinks of a man who says

hundred you meet can tell you what
they are, but Mr.. Burton may have

Since We sent weekly letters to
The Enterprise during our short and
inglorious career as legislator, it
would seem immodest on our part to
be continually referring to said ca
reer. However we are willing to
endure the shafts of criticism that
may be aimed at us for our acts. We
welcome criticism. not being as thin

FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN QUOTAS

Colorado's quota in the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive is s37,1S3,250,
and Weld County's portion is
$1,616,75O. The quota for this pre-
cinct is not known here yet. The
above figures are considerably great
er than the quota for the third loan,
but does not reach the actual sub
scription made by Weld County.
Colorado was asked for only
S20,312,9OO on the third loan, but
actually subscribed $31, ,066,S00,
while Weld county was asked for
s911,000 on the third loan, but sub
scribed over 100000.
The loan is going to be a strain
on this part of the county, but so is
ii on the balance OF the county.
The irrigated crops have suffered as
well as the dry lands. Their short
age is not so great as ours, but IL
will impair their ability to a great
extent.
The quota OF each district is fixed
by bank deposits, modified by the
loans made through the same banks.
With the entire total OF the loan
so much larger than that of last
spring 1t is likely that our quota
will be some higher than last spring.
but not so much as was subscribed.
The Enterprise feels that many
who subscribed last spring should
not be urged to buy bonds this time.
Probably all should be given an op.
portunity to buy. and all who can
possibly do so, should buy Just as
heavy as 1t is possible to make up

SILENT CONTEMPT. OF, T

As yet we have had no intimaton from the board of
trustees of the West Liberty Most High and Downgraded
School that they going to make public the financial
status of the district Dr. W. H. Wheeler, former trus
tee told us time ago that he going to submit
statement showing the condition Of the district up to the
time of his resignation but have received the
statement.
1t looks though the trustees trying to play the
silent contempt game upon the people They saying,
in effect that it is of the peoples id business how
the money SPENT that they he people, have right to
know anything about the management of the districts f.
nances that if they want to inappropriate money, which
was supposed to have been applied toward the liquidation
of the districts bonded Indebtedness and pay out high
salaried teachers the patrons can go hang
That is in effect what they saying by their silence
in the matter But the trick will not work The slent
contempt racket will rebound with unpleasant if not dis
astrous effect board of trustees entrusted with the
expenditure of public money is inviting criticism and per-
haps condemnation when they work under and re-
fuse to make their records public.

EIGHT YEARS YOUNG.

With this issue the Courier celebrates its eighth birth
day. Not with any display or ceremony, however, but
with renewed promise to its patrons, whose good will
has made its continued existence possible to try to
them better in the future than it has been able do the
past. This is peculiarly trying time for country news
paper Hundreds of country weees have been forced to
90 out of business within the last three years account
of the high cost of material and labor coupled with the ad
verse legislation which has been enacted by Congress- and
several others have been hard hit that unless conditions
change they will be forced to suspend.
The Courier has managed to keep its head above the
waves and is buoyed by the hope that the worst Of
the crisis has passed. 1t has always lived up to the idea
that 'man does not live for self aone" and especially
since our country has been at war; has it contributed free
y even avshy of its space and the working hours of its
force for the bettermen of conditions for people
home and our soldiers abroad What we have lost in dol
lars and cents have reganed in the satisfaction which
always attends the unsesh performance of duty and il
our performance of duty country during the present
crisis we have never knowingly left thing undone.
We deeply appreciate the past friendship of our patrons
and will endeavor to conduct the paper in in the future
that it may be worthy of their continued support and pat
ronage.
