THERE'S TWO SIDES

When you have read of the crimes
and quarrels and Irregularities of life
until you are depressed and doubtful
about this old world, remember that
these things are displayed because
they are news and because they are
unusual. They were the exceptional
things, and for that reason they were
printed with a big, black heading ov-
er them. And for the same reason
you read them. And if it is an arti-
Gle about some man or woman going
wrong, rest assured that the vast ma
jority of people who read that article
do not approve of it. There are al
ways two sides to the things you see
and hear and read about. You can't
judge properly the movement of a
whole army by watching few strag-
glers. So you can't tell the trend of
the human race by rumors you hear
flying about the streets of Julesburg
or the sensational and bad things you
read in the papers. People generally
find what they are looking for, and
if they only look on the surface, or
only listen to rumors they are not apt
to learn the right side.

LET'S BE FAIR

In a discussion of the reduction of
wages in towns and cities let's keep
in mind that the pay of nearly half
of the workers in the country has
been sharply cut by the great decline
in the price of farm products. The
rural residents have suffered, just as
have the business men suffered from
losses caused by shrinkage in the mar
ket value Of goods in their stores.
They have felt the swift fall in the
price of their crops as the cutting
down of their pay for the work they
do with their hands. For that reason
every attempt of labor leaders to up
hold the doctrine that wages must
not be cut at all in great industries
that effect the farmers cost of living,
is direct challenge to the farmers
sense Of fair play. The man who is
buying the product of the farm at a
price below what he paid for it last
year knows that to be fair the thing
he makes with his own hands and
which the farmer must have shown
be down in proportion. We believe
the citizens Of Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county are fair-minded enough
to admit this. 1t is only the man
who argues otherwise who is pre-
venting satisfactory wage adjust
mentS

lot of children without parental care,
they reply that if such ehildFea can
not be provided with . satisfactory
home by either parent, they can BE-
equally or better cared for in some in
stitution.
Some of them argue that in q home
the children get too much attention,
which makes them nervous and self
ish, while in . good institution they
learn discipline and have to adjust
themselves to The good of the whole.
Yet few people feel happy to see
their own little ones thus cast adrift.
There is something about parental
care that is unique, and the machine
like routine Of an institution does not
take its place. The institution may
preach its sermons and enforce its
rules on its herd of youngsters. But
they have missed the father and moth
er love that is the greatest power for
holding young folks straight that is
found in this life.
Multitudes of people would have
gone bad when temptations came, if
the thought had not come to them
that the fathers and mothers that
loved them and had cared for them,
would be grieved if they went astray.
The moral maxims and rules of con-
duct handed out by an institution fur
nish no such incentive.
So when a home is broken up by a
light view Of marriage, an irrepara-
Bile loss is caused the children. Even
il the little ones have q good mother,
they lack the tonic inspiration of a
fathers example. People who contem-
plate breaking up their homes for
trifling and frivolous reasons, and
casting their offspring off on some
school or other agency, should reflect
on the pitiful loneliness Of The young
sters thus set aside, and the irrepar-
able loss caused by the lack Of paren-
tai guidance and inspiration,

ITS UP TO US

It's I'D to US, every individual OF
US, to make conditions better in and
around Julesburg and TO keep them so
We can still take our individual loss
es during the period of readjustment,
and keep pushing on. 1t won't do
any good to try to stop things as
they are now moving in this country
it can't be done. We have to go on,
and all of US must take loss, keep
our spirits up and be thankful that
things are daily growing better. There
are some places where one may "cut
corners" in expenses, where money
may be saved, perhaps. But when it
is saved, it availeth little if we are
not wise enough to put it where it
will repay us in interest.
Maybe there are improvements
needed about the house. You can't
afford to cut corners here. You can't
afford to let your home run down by
promising yourself you'll make these
improvements next year. Next year
the mere fact that you left off the
improvements when they were needed
serves to reduce the value of the prop
erty. The better your home the bet
ter you will and your family will
feel and the better price you will re-
ceive for it if you should ever want
to dispose Of it.
Its all right, and fine thing to
economize, but don't practice false
economy. Do now about the house
or your business place the things
that need to be done. And it is when
every individual starts in to practice
this that We will find ourselves here
in Julesburg and community facing
the kind of conditions we are now sit
ting around and hoping for.
Let US each and every one do our
full share as far as we can consist
emily do so, in assisting the future
progress of this community. We have
a good town and territory tributary,
and we are all justly proud of the

Means will be taken to ascertain
the general sentiment of naval Of

Nothing of the sort is contemplated.
If the service at large favors the

still be a question as to whether or
Ut the Academy authorities will ac-

THEY DISCUSS 1T.
This is a side of the matter which
is most seriously discussed at Anna
polls. Heretofore, except for a period
of four years during which eligibility
rules were actually in force between
West Point and Annapolis, though
they had but slight effect. it was held
that the legal requirements for en-
trance to the academies furnished a
sufficient test of eligibility and that
nothing further was necessary to OBJ
viate the abuses 81 sport, such as
PROSECUTING from one college to an
other, an undue length of the play
ing period. special efforts to induce
the entrance of athletes, etc.
The course which West Point APP
pears to be taking has indicated that
the academies can be touched by
these evils in spite of the legal re-
quirements for entrance, and sooner
or later. 1t Is felt, the other colleges
will refuse to consider the Army and
Navy fn IL
If the service schools. no matter
what may be their excuse, adopt the
policy of combing the colleges for
their star athletes. West Point and
Annapolis will soon find themselves
without competitors from the other
colleges.
II the rules are adopted, II still
remains to settle whether there Is
to be insistenCc that the Army
shall do so too. At this time, that
question has not even been taken
up, and II certainly will not he un-

"Is Jack Hegarty in?" we asked,
forgetting the name of the president
and remembering only that Jack
coached the football team and would
probably be there.
The young man went inside and
soon returned. bidding us enter. He
was right pleasant about it. so we
went in. Still we had not introduced

From then on we began meeting

we used to go down to Alexandria
