drawn and all It's terms endorsed pre-
vious to the meeting. there was no de-
bate. Tho actual ceremony therefore
consisted in the promoters. boxers and
managers signing their names to the

than half an hour. and was not half so
exciting as many a conference 90 settle

signed in the ball room OF the Hotel

II was observed that Carpenter
handles a pen with more facility than
Dempsey. the American champion en-
ploying a right hook in signing his name
while the Frenchman performed the
operation by feintins gracefully with his
left and sending the right over with
accuracy and speed.

"HumOresque" at the
House NeXtWeek

Thru the enterprise of the local
opera house manager, Ed School
kopf, Idaho Springs amusement
lovers will not have to wait several
months to see the screen version
of Fannie Hurst's famous story of
mother love, "Humoresque." Many
big cities have not yet had a
glimpse Of this most sensationally
successful! motion picture ever
made, yet Idaho Springs will have
it for two days-Tuesday and
NYA<l.~~ll--s.ejs o AID Q.
g.Humoresqne" was shown at the
Rialto in Denver for two weeks
and this week is being shown at
the Princess. So many people had
beer unable to get into the crowded
theater at the end of the engage
ment that it had to be brought
back for third week in that city,
where its popularity is proving
greater than before.
lfs touching performance OF
Miss Vera Gordon, as the mother,
has taken all of America by storm.
Miss Gordon was utterly unknown
in the films when "Humoresque"
was made. Now she is probably
the most talked about screen act
ress. Alma Rubens is the star
announced upon the bill boards,
but it is to Vera Gordon that the
honors of the performance act
uaIly go.
"Humoresque" broke down the
opposition of the last and most OBJ
stinate opponents of motion pic
lures. 1t disproved forever the
old charge that the screen cannot
adequately portray emotion. This
simple love story has more emo
ton than the spoken stage version
of 'sThe Music Master and far
more laughs than 'Potash and
Perlmutter" The whole perform
ance is simply matter of emotion
tears aud laughter mingling
every few seconds thruout the
whole film.

IDAHO SPRINGS. COLO. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26 1921
Clean Politics

When you stop to think,
hasn't this been about the
cleanest campaign we have
had for many years?
The candidates and politi-
cal workers have done practi-
cally no mud-slinging, and
how much nicer it is than if
they had tried to win by tell
ing all the faults of their
opponents. The newspapers
too, have tried to avoid any.
thing which is Of the mud
singing order, and we are
sure the readers have receiv-
ed much more enjoyment out
OF the campaign dope" than
if we had tried to "cut the
other fellows throat"
The man who is elected to
his respective office we be-
lieve, will have won by a
good, hard honest campaign,
whether he be Republican or
Democrat, and if such be true
he will have been deserving
of the best support he can
receive.
Mud-slinging gets us no
where, and the political cam
paigns of to-day are far from
the methods used years ago
when it evidently seemed
necessary to bring out all the
faults and mistakes of a life
time on the man seeking an
office.
We realize today that a
candidate for office is really
a human being, and do not
expect his record to have
been exactly perfect. The
object is to get the best and
most capable man in office.

Good Program at
Presbyterian Church

For the purpose OF showing the
parents what was being done in
the school, the children of the
Presbyterian Sunday school gave
most interesting program Sun.
day morning. Altho the very cold
weather, which is new to us at
present, kept many of the parents
from attending. This was dis.
appointment to the children who
hard worked hard to please, but
they performed their parts in a
very creditahle-,sa -,saanaAr4- and the
program was enjoyed by those
who were there. The pulpit was
prettily decorated in yellow and
white chrysanthemums, which
gave fitting setting for the little
ones who took part. The beauti-
full flowers were sent to the church
by Mrs. David Hill. They were
appreciated very much and greatly
admired.
Mrs. w. Fl. Staver's class of
girls gave an exercise, "The Light
Bearers. Each girl represented
letter of the two words, and gave
verse of scripture which began
with her respective letter. This
was concluded with the class song,
Brighten the Corner Where You
Are.'
The next exercise was by Miss
Elva Stout's class of little tots,
who re ci it e d the Twenty.third
Psalm. This was done in unison
and showed that a great amount of
patience had been displayed in the
training.
Miss Mary Phillips rendered a
piano solo, which was very good,
and Miss Vashti Rickerson recited
well, '"The Z hild rs Hour"
This was followed by an interest
ing talk by W. A. Funk, telling of
his experiences on board the trans.
port while secretary of the Y. M.
Q. A. during the war.

Don't Use Ballot to
Settle Up Old Scores

The idea of using the ballot
to settle up old grudges and
''get even" is unwise. 1t
should be the policy of every
voter to vote for the interest
of the community, the state
or the nation, and if the man
seeking the Office is capable
and you know in your heart
of hearts that he will make
good in the position he seeks,
altho you may not like him
personally. it is your duty to
vote for him. 1t is not for
his good. but for the good Of
the people whom he is to
represent.
Forget your little differ
ences for the time being, at
least, and be far above these
animosities. Think only Of
the benefit the community
will receive from his being
elected.
The people of mining COM
munities should make spe-
cial effort to place mining
men in office wherever it is
possible That is the thing
which means so much to this
section, and it behooves every
voter to think of these contli-
tions when casting his vote.
But whatever you do, don't
vote against the man you
know will make a good officer
just because you happen to
have grudge. Be big.

over $500 RAISED
AT CATHOLIC FAIR
Large Crowds Throng the Opera
House Where Gay Festival Is
Held. Pretty Fancy Articles
Sold; Big Dance in Evening

Knowing that the Catholic fair
would be unusually attractive, peo-
pie came from all the surrounding
towns to participate in the festiv-
'ities. The bazaar was open AL
afternoon and evening, Saturday,
and the ladies sold out almost
completely all the pretty articles
they had made. They had worked
most aith fully for long time
preparing the dainty hand work
for this occasion, and had a mag
snifcent display.
In the evening the dance was
held and there was an immense
crowd of spectators and dancers.
AT intervals d Ii ing 6 the evening
the numerous drawings took plac. :,
and the fortunate ones were hap y
over their gains. A dainty lune h
was served by the ladies of tie
church in the Opera cafe all alter
noon and evening, and all told, the
church made over $500.
Being unable to secure list of
all those getting prizes for today's
issue, we will give those in which
so much interest was taken preced-
ing the fair. The silver-plated
toilet sst vas dawn by Miss Myr-
tie Turner, and the beautiful doll
which had been gazed upon by
several pairs of longing eyes, was
awarded to little Mary Woodward.
Miss Eva Woodward was fortuurte
in securing the creton dresser set.
There we're numerous other arti-
cles, thus giving various oppor-
tunities for prizes.
The Catholic ladies were untir.
ing in their efforts to make the
affair a success, and succeeded far
beyond their expectations. The
last fair given by St. Paul's church
preceded she presidential election
four years ago.

Mp. LEAGUE GAVE WORKERS
HUMANE COMPENSATION Law

Bismarck.-Emile E. Watson, con-
sutling actuary, has just issued
pamphlet, showing the financial con-
dition of the North Dakota Work
mems Compensation Bureau from Ju-
ly 1913 to March 1, 1920. Mr.. Wat
son prefaces his report with a state
ment, setting forth the beneficial as
poets of this humanitarian law.
Among other things he says:
"From the standpoint Of the North
Dakota workmen, the North Dakota
Workmen's Compensation Act, in my
Judgment, is not only the most bene-
ficient piece of legislation on the
state books of the state today, but
this compensation act pays to the dis
abled workmen of the State, and
where killed, their dependents, much
larger compensation benefits than is
provided by the most liberal of the
remaining workmen's compensation
acts now in operation in the other
forty-one states of the Union. In 9TH
er words, the disabled workmen of
North Dakota and their widows and
children are now getting over twice
the compensation benefit received by
the Montana disabled workmen and
their dependents. The North Dakota
compensation Act similarly provides
approximately 65 per cent higher com
pensatjon benefits than are provided
By the South Dakota Compensation
Act, It provides about 45 per cent
more compensation benefits than are
provided by the Minnesota Compensa-
tion act, and so this analysis would
be continued through the entire forty
one other workmen compensation
acts now in operation" ..#5
Remember, workers, when you come
to vote Nov. 2 that the Nonpartisan
League gave you this law, the eight
hour day and minimum wage laws.

a Nonpartisan League endorsement
