any change for the betterment of
the people, and who denounces all
who favor such changes as dan
gerous traitors. Happily for this
country, when liberty was first
born on American soil, the Tories
were in the minority, and in the
mighty peaceful struggle that is
being waged in our land today to
preserve the rights gained by our
forefathers upon many hard
fought battlefield, the Tories will
still be in the minority.
Every true American should be

opposed to that false American
ism which denies the right of the
people to make any changes that
are needed to promote their well

TODAY

Sure this world is full of trouble
amt said it amt.
Lord! I've had enough, an double,
Reason for complaint.
Rain an storm have come to fret
me,
Skies were often gray;
Thorns an brambles have beset
On the road-but, say,
Amt it fine today!
What's the use of always weepin'
Maxim trouble last?
What's the use of always keepin
Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation,
Water with his wine.
Life it amt no celebration,
Trouble? I've had mine
But today is fine.
It's today that l am livin',
Not month ago,
Havin', losin', takin', givin',
AS time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way;
1t may rain again tomorrow,
1t may rain-but, say,
Amt it fine today!

The official call for the ninth
annual convention of the Color
ado Good Roads association has
been issued by R. H. Higgins.
president of the association. The
convention will be held in Denver.
Wednesday,, January 21, 1920,
during Stock Show week.
This convention will be the
most important ever held by the
good roads people of this state.
in that it must be decided wheth
er the association will support
the resolution passed by the last
general assembly authorizing the
issuance of $5,OO0,OOO worth of
bonds, which is to be placed upon
the ballot, November next, or
whether the association of it's own
accord shall initiate an amend
ment calling for a bond issue of
S25.000,000 to be used in the

ing questions relating to good
roads matters. The present indi-
cations. are that this convention
will be attended by representa-

Stock Show Greatest Ever

Everybody is getting ready to
take in the 18th annual National
Western Stock Show at Denver,
which opens Saturday, January
18th. The show proper will open
on Monday morning, January 18th
with judging in all the depart
ments. The entries are all in and
the management is having one of
the greatest problems it has ever
struggled with to find room for
the hundreds of exhibits that are
seeking admission. Altho over
100000 was spent during the
past year for the purpose of en-
larging facilities, the annual
show has grown so rapidly that
the problem of finding room con-
tinues to be the pressing one.
Not only is the question of find
ing room for exhibits one that is
making difficulty, but the indica-
tions are that Denver will be call
ed upon to take care of the great
est crowd ever assembled in that
city. The Denver Tourist Bureau
has undertaken the task of list
ing all of the hotel rooms and
private rooms in the city, and Wis
itors will be directed to lodging
places when they arrive, either
thru the Office of the bureau at
the Union station or from the
uptown office at sos 17th street.
Manager Burhans promises that
he will have room or beds for all
who apply and while the hotels
will insist on two in a bed, the
prices charged will only be the
same as usual, except that a room
for which 50 is normally charged
is expected to produce 50 for two
persons. Denver is thoroly awake
to the situation and even ythine
possible will be done to take care
of the thousands who are coming
in comfortable way, altho many
will be unable to secure rooms ir
their regular hotels.
