Colorado Made Goods Week

To the People of Colorado:
The Colorado earned dollar should
be spent in Colorado. Industries should
be supported by those who are bene-
fitted by their existence. by enlarg-
ing industries, employment is prDvid-
ed for more workers. No state can
reach its great destiny unless it up
lifts its entire citizenship from the
humblest laborer to the largest EN-
ployer.
1t is gratifying to see the Colorado
Made Goods Club movement organiz-
ed by women and endorsed by all
large women's organizations Of the
State, standing by their pledge ito
buy Colorado-Made Goods and to make
an effort to get Colorado Made Goods -
Such cooperation will undoubtedly re-
suit in a greater Colorado.
|, therefore, heartily endorse the
work of the Colorado-Made Goods Club
and hereby set aside the week of Oct
ober from the 23rd to the 30th. as
Colorado Made Goods Week. And |
earnestly urge all business men, Com
mercial Organizations, Schools, and
Churches to unite in making this week
a practical exposition of the products
and industries of our State.

death in fires which resulted from
carelessness. Most of these persons
were women and children, whose lives
were sacrificed for lack of caution. The
average daily loss from fire is 81 ,0O0,-
900 and the average daily loss of life
due to fires is forty-one, Shively stat
ed.
Shively illustrated his talk with a
reel of motion pictures on the preven-
tion of fire. The picture showed
"Carelessness," the starter of fires,
and "Carefulness," pictured as a wo-
man who drove the menace away and
instructed little children how to keep
the danger away from their homes.
Caution on the part of every indi-
vidual to prevent the increase of fires
is absolutely necessary for the saving
of property and life.

Dead Men Tell No Tales.

In an endeavor to put an end to
"bootlegging," it has become an al
most universal custom in this and sur
rounding Jurisdictions for the court to
ask party accused with ''having
whisky" to tell where he secured the
liquor.
Of course, none of the defendants
are going to give information which
will result in the arrest of the party
from whom the liquor was obtained.
and the usual answer is: 81 bought it.
Then the question follows: "Who
sold it to you?" and among the dark
les of this county the answer is in
varibly: 81 got it from a man, white
man on the Moultrie Road,' or con
the River Road"-depending on wheth-
er the negro is from the northern or
southern portion of the county. 81
never had seen the man before, and
amt seen him since, and didn't know
him; he just stopped his Ford and
asked me, did | want to buy some
whisky, and said, Yes and / got
it."
OF course, on this information the
officers cannot arrest any one for sell
ing whisky, and the negro knows it.
Recently an old darky pleaded guilty
to having in his possession a small
quantity of whisky, and, when the
court was about to pass sentence up
on him, asked him:
We'll, Henry, you are from the
southern part oil the county; suppose
you got your liquor from a man IN a
rord on The Moultrie Road 2"
Inc darky promptly answered: mo,
sir, he lived down near Brldgeboro."
The Court: Was he negro or a
white mani"
Defendant: He was a nigger,
Judge; yas, SIR"
The Court: "Of course, you didn't
know him, never saw him before, and
never have since; that is right, isn't
it?"
Defendant: mo, sir, Judge; Il
knowed him right WELL"
The Court: what did you say his
name was ?"
Defendant: well, now, Judge, II
don't mind telling you-all dat nigger's
name, cause mule done flung him
gin tree last December an kilt him;
yas, sir, his name was Rufus Jack
son."
This, of course, convulsed the court
with laughter. and am afraid it has
set another precedent, for if my pre-
diction is correct the darkies will here
after pick out dead men to buy their
liquor from. It's safer for both par
ties.-Docket.

Fires Laid to Carelessness.

"Ninety-five per cent of the fires in
the United States are caused by care
lessness and Indifference" declared
John H. Shively, special representative
of the National Fire Prevention As
sociation, in an address before the San
Francisco Electrical Development As
sociation.
Shively made a strong appeal for
the prevention of fire. Let careful
ness" be your watchword, he said. Last
year in the United States alone there
were over $4,000 persons burned to

The Underlying Purpose.

The railroad unions have called a
strike against the reduction of IL per
cent in wages which has been in effect
since July l. That is the ostensible
motive. The actual, immediate motive
is to retain and strengthen the posi-
ton of dictation toward the managers
which they gained and greatly forti-
fled since 1916 under political control.
Their underlying purpose goes farth-
er. 1t is to force the government to
adopt the policy of public ownership
and operation in despair of keeping
the roads in operation without strikes
under any other policy.
That underlying purpose is revealed
in the statement of Warren S. Stone,
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. He said:
"The government can prevent the
strike by taking over the railroads,
and this is what will happen eventu-
ally"
Further on he said: '"The railroad
executives can settle the dispute or
the United States government can pre-
vent strike. Taking over the rail
roads is the most effective way in
which the government can avert the
strike scheduled for October 80"
Those statements corrobora.e that
of f. ID. Underwood, president of the
l. s.k
The real purpose is to bring about
government control-the desire of lab
or bodies, Some part of the public and
some members of congress-"
The American people have had some
experience of what government opera
ton means. The Adamson law was
the beginning, and rule by McAdoo
brought government control into full
bloom. Between 1916 and 1920 reve-
nue. increased 60 per cent, expenses in
creased ITO per cent and labor took
nearly 60 cents of every dollar re-
ceived, while its efficiency became less.
In other words the big Four"
brotherhoods feel that they can con-
tinue to enforce their demands on the
government, if they can get govern
ment control, more easily than on priv
ate management. The people who pay
the taxes, and the freight bills have
been helpless under such a dictatorship,
as clearly proved during the existence
of the Railroad Administration which
in always submitting to the demands
of the big Four" to avoid trouble,
created the conditions which in the
public interest must now be remedied.
