AMERICAN LEGION, WALLACE
SIMPSON POST No. 20, IN EN-
CELLENT ENTERTAINMENT

The large concourse of people that
attended the grand entertainment OF
the above organization last Tuesday
evening enjoyed themselves to such
an extent that they were unanimous
in their opinion that not only did
this event excel all others preceding
1t, but il has set pace that viii be
difficult to keep up with. The va
riety of the program lent keen inter-
est to the audience, while the brill
liant appearance of the overseas
men, soldiers and sailors, in con-
junction with the uniforms of the
knights Templar of the Masonic fra
ternity, also the Uniform Rank of
the Knights of Pythias and Spanish
war veterans, created a scene that
will not be easily forgotten by those
who were fortunate to witness this
splendid feature. Short addresses
were made by Mr.. Sullivan of the
city employment bureau and Attor-
ney Motion David, explaining and en-
phasiZing the necessity for the eN-
istence of the American Legion as
well as advising all men who were
called to the colors to become mem
bers Immediately. Community sing
ing was then enjoyed in by the large
number of voices. who resurrected
the time when singing spurred the
overseas men to great achievements
ending in victory. The singing was
led by Mr.. A. A. Waller of the Col
ored American Realty Co.
Then came the Grand March at
1890, in which nearly two hundred
couples took part. The march was
led by Western Deputy Randolph
Butler of the knights Templar fol-
lowed by Richard Butler. Brigadier-
General of the X. p. Uniform Rank
and his men in dazzling uniforms,
supported by Civil and Spanish
American war veterans, with the
grand array of our sailor and SOL
der boys in their spic and span at
tire, followed by the civilians-and a
greater spectacle was never wit
messed as the Williams orchestra
struck up a march, the familiar
strains of which sounded and re-
sounded from the massive walls and
sounding boards of the Coliseum
hall. The ladies in their beautiful
costumes were decorated in head or
naments. preparing them for HALO
we'en, the gifts of the post, and thus
was spent a very pleasureable eve
ming. with Sergeant Lance Ford,
post commander. presiding, and f. w.
Perkins, vice commander, and his
board of management, Adjutant
Morton and others, contributing to
this unique event in Denver's enter
tainment.

enthusiastic address.

Fair Play Imperative.

Business is business" is a motto all
workers should keep before them. They
should demand their rights, but should
remember that those in authority have
rights also, and are entitled to fair,
honest treatment from the people they
employ. Therefore. one must learn to
be punctual, non-talkative and kindly
to their associates. The employee who
swerves from this code is not playing
fair with employer and certainly
should keep silent on the question of
equal rights.-Exchange.
