TELL IF THE LIFE AND . WORK 0F ST. PATRICK

Of the many gatherings of Phoenix citizens last night in St. Patrick fes- tivities or worship, the gathering at the Central Christian church was among the best attended. Several hun dred men, women and young people gathered at the church for the rousing song service under the leadership of Mir. Pollock. The pictures were shown at the opening part of the service last night and the evening was closed with an impressive baptismal service.
 Mir. Knowles told something of the life and work of St. Patrick in the introduction to the sermon, and men tioned the story concerning the clear ing of Ireland of a pest of serpents. The Scriptures were quoted as they refer to Satan as a serpent and for
 thirty minutes the speaker pictured wildly the subtle and attractive
 means employed by him to win the affections and the time of men and women.
 Reference was made to the contro- versy between God and satan over Job
 in which God asked satan if he had considered Job and the reply was I have studied him. Among other vital truths presented in interesting and gripping fashion were these:
 Real character is not the product ] of chance. but rather the result of | right reading, right thinking and right 1 living. Many a life has undergone a | gradual process of decay and when | the final crash comes, the world is
 staggered by learning of it. No life is l immune to sin. That man or woman who thinks impure thoughts. who ere | ates a desire for questionable liter | ature or companionship will sooner or later become a victim of the serpent | Mems lives are seldom wrecked by | big mistakes.

What more fitting memorial to the gallant sons of America who fought and died abroad could be de- vised than exact reproduction of the Washington Monument to be erected through voluntary contri- buttons by whole people, upon the famous battle field in France2
 This question is put by George Harvey in his Weekly. IL is a happy suggestion. The Washington Monument is a splendid piece of work. No one who has seen it looming through the mist. or who has watched the play of upon it a brilliant day, who has caught glimpse of it's lofty summit in the rays searchlights night, can fail to carry the picture his memory.

"I don't know where $10 could be put with likelihood of doing as much good and I do not know where a man is as much obliged 10 lend a helping hand, particularly if we stop to think of our mothers and daughters" de- clared one man yesterday as he placed voluntary subscription with Y. w. C. A. worker
 Similar sentiment was found on all sides by the more than 50 workers en- gagged on the Iirst day of campaigning to raise $7,000 to complete the years financing for the Y. W. C. A. in Phoe nix. These workers so reported at noon luncheon at the Central Methodist church where at l2:3O o'clock lunch cons will be held daily and reports re- ceived during the balance of the week.

 Finding such sentiment on every hand the workers for the '. w. c. A. S7,000 fund are heartened indeed. It makes their efforts seem so much lighter and it is certainly good to find that the community understands and is in accord ith the high purpose tc do good which alone animates the so- licitOrs

BOLSHEVIKI

AS we sat in our office chair busy counting the
money we expected to make next year. our dreams
were disturbed by subscriber from the OUTLYING
suburbs who came in to ask the meaning of the word
Bolshevki. For more than year we had seen this
word staring at us in glaring headlines in nearly
every exchange we picked up, but never before had
we met person who wanted to know what it meant
80 TO satisfy his curiosity looked thru an un
abridged dictionary-waded thru two or three on
cycopedlas and looked several reference books
that were supposed to contain information upon any
subject on earth but in of them could we find
whisper about Bosheviki. We had read somewhere
that there was wisdom in multitude of courselors
so we concluded to go out and interview the public
Space forbds giving all of the definitions which we
received but they differed much that we knew less
than we thought we knew when we started out
prominent attorney declined to give any definition
but expressed the opinion that it was very pretty
word. One of our brightest and leading educators
was little uncertain but said that to the best of her
recollection it was species of wild animal dis
covered by Theodore Roosevelt in the junges along
the banks of the river Doubt
Say what does Bolsheviki mean anyway?

PROFITEERING

An argument that is often advanced to justify
profteering is, that would all do it if got the
chance. This is undoubtedly true. If we should leg
alize stealing and appoint boards to keep it within
proper control the majority of people might steal
but that would not make stealing right or even JUS
property of another and appropriating it to
use. Profteering is legalzed way of taking that
which does not belong to and appropriating it to
our
In the days of competition when individuals
and corporations acted Independent of each other
the law of supply and demand fixed prices and prof
iteering was practically impossible, but no longer
live under that system We live in an age of vast
combinations and the law of supply and demand does
not now regulate prices.
The price of everything is fixed by the big com
binatons of the country In order for them to hold
this power they must control the law makers With
out doubt they have at the present tme the con-
trolling voice in the councils of both the Democratic
and Republican parties.
AS long as big business can control the policies
OF the two old parties they will continue to profteer
until some new party comes forward under leader
ship that will inspire the respect and confidence of
the people. Or it may be possible that one of the old
parties will be forced in time to take up the battle
for the people, but this hardly seems probable
Big business is now controlling every business
trade and form of industry in the country in its own
way excepting the few utilities that are being oper-
ated by the government and also excepting the labor
OF the country and they making great efforts to
get the upper hand of labor.

THE PRIMARY LAW
.IENy

There are but few, if any, of the important laws
legislature that did not have bad features Our
primary law which heralded far and near as a
measure that would give the people larger voice
in public affairs, carried joker that defeated the
end for which the law enacted. 1t took away
from the people the power to make their own plat
forms by and thru their conventions
- Before the primary law enacted we made
Dur own platform, nominated our own candidates
and pledged them if they elected to carry out
the provisions that made in the platform. After
we got the primary law, the opposition party quite
frequently came to assistance and helped us to
nominate ticket, and the candidates and few
hold-over officials got together and fixed up a plat
form to suit themselves with the result that neither
party, since the primary law passed, has had a
platform that stood for anything or meant anything
We hold an election in Gilpin county every two years
at an expense of few thousand dollars where no
principle is at stake, just to decide who our cand
dates should be. If people have become so dishonest
that we can't trust delegates in convention to
nominate our ticket how do expect to find honest
men to fill Offices?
The primary law should have been amended or
repealed long ago. AS it stands instead of in
creasing the peoples power it lessons it But it
seems to suit the politicians and it looks as if a
third party would have to be organized in order to
get platform favoring its amendment or repeal or
favorng any other law for the direct benefit of the
people.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILPIN COUNTY.
COMPENSATION LAW

While we have been unable to get the full par
ticuars of the case the information we have would
indicate that the supreme court in recent decision
had given liberal construction to that part of
the compensation law relating to benefits than is
given by the usually accepted version.
The claim was made before the Industrial Com
mission about two years ago by Boulder county
widow asking for compensation for the death of her
husband the ground that his death resulted from
the effects of the inhalation of poisonous gases in
coal mine during the of his employment The
Industrial Commission refused to allow the claim,
taking the position that the death not accidental
but was caused by disease. An appeal was taken to
the district court at Boulder and upon the trial the
position taken by the Industrial Commission was up
held
An appeal was then taken to the supreme court
with the result that the above decision
the court holding that the evidence showed cer-
tanly as it was humanity possible to show that death
was caused either directly indirectly by the
inhalation of poisonous gases and that the widow
was therefore entitled to the compensation
benefits If the information have is correct it
would be logical conclusion that our metal miners
who contract miners consumption from inhaing
bad air. powder smoke and machine drill dust should
be entitled under the compensation law to receive
disability and death benefits, inasmuch as there can
be no doubt that their disability and death is dir
ect result of these causes
