LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

lear Joe:
The haby gets an egg every other
day now and You wouldn't believe how
much gustu he attaches To eating them.
lie just loves them and in fact his en-
thusiasm is 50 great that he generally
gets most of the egg around his mouth
instead OF in il. II makes me think
maybe he'll never make 4 good soldier
if his early Workmanship is any sym
Lol Anyway. after this ] think III
always give him his egg just before
hc has his bath.
/ think you're right in advising me
not 10 worry about thc continuous
absence Of his teeth Come TO think of
IT, ] TOO was a very postponed teether
a.. a baby and now my teeth are so
strong thev hardly ever lose filling
see hy the papers that the names
q all tho slackeTs and army dcseTters
az. c0lng 10 be published. Now Joe
tuats what call undescrved fame
Think Of all the millions of boys who
really ddi their duty and went over
there and were obedient to their officers
in the midst OF cooties and everything
without there being any talk now of
putting their names in the papers, and
yet here's these slackers and people who
really did their duty and went over
the war and still the government is
going 10 publish their names and give
them all that free fame. Can you
imagine that Joe.
And it seems the Bolsheyikies are
sal up 70 their old tricks and refuse to
be overthrown. They must be an OBJ
stinate lot Of people Joe. because all
they have to do is study history to
learn that everybody gets badly over
thrown sooner or later, so the way
look at ii they might as well give in
gracefully while all these efforts are
being made in the matter, and Mrs
Fink agrees with me.
Love from self and child.

\ Under the able direction OF the
superintendent, Miss Leatham, Cook
hospital building Is receiving some
sadly needed repairs and improve
ments this week. It is heart break
ing work TO struggle with an old
building, any time, with any sum
of'money, but when there Is hardly
a dollar available TO accomplish

comes a supreme problem. Miss
Leatham, however, has been coping

A Victory for the People

Ihe decision of the Colorado Industrial commission
that the miners Of the southern Colorado field should
go back to work at their old wages is notable victory
for the people of this state.
That decision it is true, does not settle the main
point OF the controversy, which is whether the present
wage scale, or that proposed by the COMPANY and
accepted by some of its is reasonable paw for coal
miners under present conditions Blu. the decision does
make clear the important point that the government
of Colorado, the representative of all the prope of
this state, not only has interest in these matters
but that 1T also has authority that superior to the
coal company TO any organization that NAV represent,
the coal miners.
1t is matter Of minor Importance whether anv
particular decision is favorable the company or to i,s
employees II Is minor matter whether the lecsop il
favorable to the unions adverse to their interests
The important thing is that there established in Colo
rado an authority that concerned with the prevention
OF industrial war to the public peace safety
