Pueblo's Commerce Club

1t is only the newcomers in Pueblo who need to be
told of the successful work of the Pueblo Commerce
club in promoting the general business welfare of this
city Residents of the city, who have been here long
enough to Enow what the Commerce club does in its
many lines of activity fail to appreciate its
benefits to the city, and this broad statement stands
without disparagement because of occasional critics who
are obstructive rather than constructive In their ati-
tude toward public affairs.
| Outside of Pueblo wherever the work of the Com
merce club is known, this organization stands model
of civic organization, and its work is especially
mended by those who familiar with similar clubs and
chambers thruout the country.
In many ways the Pueblo Commerce club is the agent
of the active business and professional of the city
but its power and influence extend beyond the
limits of the commission it receives from them
The club has neither strength nor resources of its
own. 1t for the public benefit only what is
given to it for that purpose
1t could do much better and extensive work in
the future than it has been doing in the past if it could
lit benefits.
In its appeal for membership the Commerce club
Ought to receive most general and most cordial
Isponse The present critical time in the history of
the city. great of western development appears
to be impending and the cities and towns to reap the
greatest harvests of and prosperity those
that act most promptly and wisely turn the cur
rent of expansion to their advantage.
What Pueblo becomes in the future depends very
largely upon what Pueblo does in the next few years
| An active Commerce club working along lines that
are at aggressive and conservative the most pow
erful agent to successful city building.
Every Pueblo man who do so should be an active
member of the Pueblo Commerce club

This tcrr1-w which, in America, is be-
slowed either upon a divorcec or upon
a wife who is separated from her hus-
band, but in ENGLAND Is used TO dcsiG-
nate discarded mistress or an un-
married mother-is claimed by some to
have been derived from "Crace-widow'
meaning woman who is widow hy
grace or by courtesy but not by fact
While plausible. this explanation is
not the true one. The term started
with the colloquial rural expression in
England OF a grass mare" meaning
a horse which has been turned out to
pasture. At first. even on tho other
side of the Atlantic. grass widow
bore no reproach, being applied to any
woman who was living apart from her
husband. Thus tho wives OF army Of
ficcrs or naval captains were known
as grass widows" during the timc
their husbands were absent from home
until the term finally fell into disrC-
putc. Before this occurred however,
IT had been imported into the United
States. and first came into general use
at the time OF the California gold
strike in ls4?. when many wives were
left at homo while their husban nds
sought wealth in tho west.

This should be fortunate day, ac-
cording to astrology. Venus. Jupiter.
and Mercury are all in benefic aspect,
while Uranus alone is adverse.
During this planetary government
women should push all their affairs, but
they should be particularly active
where their business interests are con-
cerned.
There is prophecy that more than
one great financier will develop in Wall
street. altho the signs have not been
propiuouS until within the last few
months.
Women in big business are warocd
against the tendency to take reckless
risks and to speculate wildly.
This should be an auspicious direc-
tion of the stars for literary women
who should benefit thru public honors
as well by the sale of their writings
Bankers have a lucky star to guide
them and among them a woman will
rise to prominence thru her own in
telligence and not by means of inher-
tied wealth.
Theatres should benefit during the
summer months when plans that will
be successful and radical will be
worked out.
Newspapers arc subject to the mos.
fortunate conditions under this con-
figuration which foroshadows fame for
a new editor who will rise to success
within the next two years.
Uranus is in an aspect today tina,
may tend 10 make women exceedingly
sentimental and they may pay moro

but they will be wise TO let sentiment

This is not lucky wedding day. be-

problems of tariff making that before the present
1t merely the result of strong conviction
that something ought to be done, possible TO
relieve present conditions.
1t is not certain that this bill will give the
desired relief in any apprecabe Many of the
provisions of the bill planned to meet condi
tions that longer exist and the radical differences
between the bill it passed the house and the bill
it amended by the senate indicative of the diff
ferences of opinion concerning what ought to be done
Tcre indeed too much fear that the chief
effect of this bill will be to call attention
the regrettabe failure of congress reconstruction
legislation at the time when it would have done immeas-
urable good to the nation. Whether the responsibility
for this failure rests with the Democrats the Repub
cans, whether it belongs chiefly the senate, TIE
representatives to the president, is fact that
is trying to do something that ought have
been undertaken Immediately after the armistice was
signed.
There is need for tariff legislation, undoubtedly But
it is very doubtful whether any great good be
complishcd by emergency tariff law brought over
from the preceding session of congress and passed in
haste under conditions that materia, different from
those that existed when the bill was written.
