FAIR PROMOTION.

Does the firm for which you work make
n practice of promotion from within, or
does it call in outside men and women
when higher position is to be filledY
This is OF great importance To YOU, II
you are not content to look forward To
lifetime spent IN the same position you are
holding now. Should YOU unfortunately
be working for the firm that seeks outside
for It's promotions, turn your attention 10
finding a place elsewhe. e, where ambition
and sound service are rewarded
In the right type Of firm the employees
are being trained for the next highest step.
When vacancy occurs through illness
or unavoidable absence. a vacancy that
ls but temporary, the person next lowest
down in the the organization is allowed
to handle the work during the enforced
absence of the regular employees. ms
gives him or her chante to learn about 1T,
and chance to prove their usefulness.
1t is far better plan than that followed
by many firms who require some man
above to take over the work, adding to
his burden, and giving the ambitious em-
plovc no tnance to prove ms worth.
The better type Of employer realizes
that there is something wrong with an
organization that cannot train its en-
ployes for higher positions While they
are working for it. Sncn an organization
stands TO lose its best people And YOU,
If vou know that no matter how well You do
your present work, and nor carefully YOU
try to iit yourself for the next step YOU
will be passed over when an opportunity
comes TO let in some outsider. Won are
not likely to feel real enthusiasm nor TO
give the best of yourself unless YOU are
more alttulstic than most Of us.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear joe
Well. Joe, / suppose you've bee n fol-

everybody has a right 10 their own IN
tercsts. and as the saying is 1t takes all
sorts of queer things to fiji world, but
still ut the same time never could u1-
derstand your taste in choosing home
run in preference to good murder.
Personally, it's my opinion that you
couldn't hardly expect lot of baseball
teams to stay perfectly honest when you
start calling them insulting names such rs
the White Socks and the Reds and the Pi-
rates. and so on etc. Why should it matter
what kind of socks thev wear AS long ms
theyrc good players and mind their own
business? The result is that when some
comparative stranger offers them big
bribc 10 throw the ball in the wrong dl-
rection they reason to themselves, Oh
well. we're heng called out of our name,
anyway, so we might rs well do something
to be really deserving of it.

RIPE IDEAS
From the Man in the
Hole in the Ground

Editor Siftings:
It seems to be the the opinion
of the Siftings that mining is go
ing to have great boom and that
Clear Greek county and Idaho
Springs will "come back" better
than ever. l even hear conserva-
tive business men predict that be-
fore long city property in Idaho
Springs-both residence and
buslness-will be in such demand
that much new building will be
done the same as is now being
done in the farming towns, where-
as few years ago their property
wasn't worth what it is in Idaho
Springs today. Everybody seems
to be of the same opinion except
me. Eastern capital is said to be
eager to get into the mining game.
[ hope this is true and don't want
to be a knocker, but we will see.
This is a presidential election
year Everything remains in an
unsettled condition. L can't see
how we can expect genuine re-
vival in mining or anything else
until the election is out of the
way.
We must spread the war burden
over longer period of years than
at present contemplated, and re-
move the strangle-hold of excess
profit taxation from business
You can't expect capital to go into
mining with the government ham,
pering the industry.
We have an administration
whose policy has ever been
"watchful waiting" The Mexican
question is not settled-neither
is the railroad qnestion-nor the
treaty-nor anything. So, The
way it appears to me, we will have
to pursue the same course-watch-
ful waiting waiting for one more
year to pass before we can enter
upon a real era of prosperity.
When it comes it will last, but we
will have to wait for it-one more
year.

business. Then another truck dealer
got busy and persuaded another man
to enter the business. A truck dealer
in the city at the other end of the
line induced a man there to inaugu-
rate a line on the same route. Shortly
there were four competitors on the
one line and when the business was
split four times there was not enough
money left to pay gasoline bills.
Commission Needed.
Had properly constituted COM
mission been established with the nee
essary authority to grant franchises
and limited the route to two competi-
tors the enterprise would have been
success. With the franchise there
would naturally go some undertakings
on the part of the truck owner. For
example, he would have to give a
bond to deliver on schedule the same
as the parcel post contractor in any
city, with a penalty attached for fall
ure. Rates would be established by
this commission. A truck 1wDer
should not be compelled to make rates
so low that he can't give good sery-
fee or yet, because of his FRANCHISE,
be allowed to charge exorbitant rates.
"The return loads bureau, which is
another factor in conducting the rural
express system, is something else that
will need careful attention. The evil
of all loads being return loads, will
be a menace to the rural express
system unless carefully guarded
against. 1t is the greatest system OF
transportation ever devised and as
such should be protected from its pit

Crime Decreases
With City Women

Crime is on the down grade
among women as a result of the
effects of national prohibition ac-
cording to officers of the Salvation
Army provincial headquarters in
Denver who have been making a
careful study of social statistics
since July /. Reports have been
compiled from all states in the
inter mountain region for six
month period.
Drink has been the enemy of
woman in an Indirect and direct
sense, Lieutenant Colonel John
w. Cousins said il announcing
the result of his studies. "Women
who drank in the past almost in
Tariably fell to criminality or i'm
morality as result. A large per-
centage of the fallen women of the
nation were dragged to their sta
ton as result of association with
drunken men.
1T is my opinion that the ma.
ton will feel a pulsation of awak-
ening consciousness as soon as the
psychological effects of war unrest
pass. The newness will soon wear
off prohibition and the rising
generation will know nothing OF
its evils. The saving in souls of
women who have been dragged to
early graves by drunkenness and
vice will justify the drastic steps
taken.
The effects have begun to show
Children are better fed and hap
pier. The wage Garner spends
his money to feed his family
Girls are enjoying more of the
comforts of life. Temptations
have decreased The result is
lessening of immortality.

F. H Akers, Chicago, manager of
large automobile concern, has pre-
sented the results of some investiga-
tions relative to motor stages and
freight lines.
While Mr.. Akers believes in COM
mon with many other automobile men
that rural express lines have O future
before them, he has run across sew
eral problems which must be met and
solved before they can be a complete
success. He advocates the establish
ment of rural express commission
operating under the state government,
and regulating rates, competition, etc,
as a protection to this very young in
dustry. Here is case which Mr..
Akers investigated
mot long ago one of our truck deal
ers in Washington saw very feasible
untraversed motor express route be-
tween small town and fairly good
sized city. A young clerk in clothing
store had consistently saved his mon
ey-had been reading the govern
ment's propaganda-and saw in the
rural express idea an opportunity OF
becoming his own boss-a proprietor
of rural express line-with every
chance to expand. The young man
enlisted the help of the truck dealer.
Together they canvassed the mer-
chants in the town and were assured
of enough business to make the line
pay, providing a reasonable amount
of freight could be secured in the
city TO haul back.

truck and soon had thriving little
