PUSHING AHEAD.
she thinks

The Denver Colored Civic Associa-
ton met in regular session last Tues
day evening mt s p. m. at the Odd Eel
lows hail. and most enthusiastic and
interesting meeting was held. Mr.. o.
l.. Lawson led the discussion on the
subject of the daylight saving, which
was very eloquently and ably present
ed, after which the members took up
the discussion, which WIS very lively.
There were many members present
to hear the reports of the committees
and the interesting current events that
are taking place in the world.
The subscription pledge of 500 to
the Presbyterian Hospital fund was
heartily subscribed to by many mem
bers.
Several new members were added
to the association and plans We're dis
cussed looking toward securing Il per-
manent home for the association.
Altogether the members are much
encouraged and determined to keep
forging ahead. The idea of the Civic
League of Denver is being largely
adopted by the colored citizens of
many of our progressive cities.

WE ARE NOT so NARROW.

A telephone call on Monday last in
which we were accused of an inten-
tional omission in publishing the name
of Mrs. Parthenia George rs IL dele
gate to the state convention, Pueblo,
leads us to conclude that there are
some of us who still entertain the
margin of narrowness as to make un-
fair allegations unnecessarily. Why
we would publish the other names and
not Mrs. Georges docking mt it her
way) is not feasible to the broad
thinking individual, as we are of the
same Republican political faith, and
surely it would come with much grace
for us to publish or advertise her
name so that the Denver public might
feel elated over her choice and pre-
pare to endorse her in the primary.
We trust the wrong impression will
he removed and our worthy delegate
will feel that the COLORADO
STATESMAN is IL little broader than
she thinks.

INDUSTRY

What has been-See might still
say, what is-the accepted view
of industry? Is il not too largely
that of hare livlihood and 9TH
ers TO reap and amass enormous
fortunes?
Consider for a moment what in
dustry is. It is the means by
which the resources Of the earth
are transformed by human INTEL
ligence and human labor into conf
modities and services available for
human use. In that vast process
of transformation, multitudes of
men and women spend the whole
of their lives. Upon the strength
and persistence of their efforts
depends the satisfaction of the
needs and comforts of the whole
human society. This being the
case, should our conception of in
dustry not be changed? Instead of
regarding it primarily as an in
stitution for the purpose of Gre
ating wealth, 10 be divided as eco-
nomic necessity and power may
determine, should industry not be
regarded as in the nature OF
social service, and the workers in
industry as truly regarded the
sustaiuers Of life as those who
have served in its armies and nav
les are its noble defenders?-W.
