The Colorado statesman. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1895-1961, 1921-01-01

rr is an old, familiar saying, Thine
and tide wait for no man" The
- wear 1920, which has come to
close. and the year 1921, which rushes
i'm upon us, is true eXemplitlcatloh
of that century-old saw. Perhaps the
world is filled with many men rush
ing. straining and almost eNhausting
themselves TO complete certain task,
n niece of work, or Il contract before
the old year passes out. There are
many men who, no doubt, would give
many thousands of dollars II they
could only take hold of Father Time
and bid him wait on them just lit
tie while longer. But it cannot be; he
is no respacter of persons, ana he VIII
not linger on the wayside for the
Measure or convenience of any man.
So it is with the coming OF the New
Year.
Thousands of men and women are
mot vet prepared to welcome the Ne"
Year. They would give one-half OF all
their possessions if the coming OF the
New Year could just be postponed for
n little while. But to no avail, for we
have lust written that Time and tlde
wait for no man." Therefore, we must
accent the inevitable certainty OF
Time. and, whether or not we are pre-
pared for either the passing OF the oid
Year or the coming of the New, rem
To each of us He gave certain tai
ents. and now we are called upon TO
explain to what use we nave
nut those talents during the past year.
Some have invested their talents WISE
" and have prospered; others have
been unwise and slOthful ana nave not
used the talents given them, ana con-
seauently they have failed. But
whether we have succeeded or falleu
in the last year, we cannot go pach
and begin over again. That opportu-
nity is gone and passed on. How OFTEN
have we heard some men remark IL
I could only go back just ten years
and start all over again l coulu or
would do so much better than nave.
Too late-those golden days nave lieu
from us, never to return again. IL Is
not for us to attempt here in this Drief'
hasty moment to recount the deeds oi
individuals. but rather to take into ac-
count a few important facts that nave
taken place in the last year
Among the many things that nave
attracted the attention of the people
during the past year. the outstanding
and most interesting event was the
last national election. That was TO De
expected, of course, as 192o was looheu
upon mainly as the presidential Sear'
and everything was secondary TO the
national election. 1t was the most
complete victory the Republicans had
ever witnessed, and the most over
whelming and crushing deteat tiAe
Democrats have ever endured. II
seemed that the country had become
nauseated with Wilson and Gompers
and We're glad of the opportunity TO
throw them overheard. Such crush
ing defeat should ever serve as re-
minder to all parties that they shouiu'
in the future, not let any one man run
away with the party. 1t was gooo
thing for the country to vote change
at this most critical and constructive
period of the nation. The results Oh
the election are already bearing fruit.
We see prices have begun to tumble
in many ways and business generaiiy
becoming more confident and stable.

Washington, May 3O.-Members of

and navy will gather with the throngs
today on the sacred grounds of the
Arlington National cemetery to at
tend the ceremonies at which the
President will lead the nation in COM
memorations of it's heroic soldiers
and sailor dead and will deliver at
the amphitheatre an address. The
ceremony will mark the resumption
of a custom broken only by the stress
of war--the annual address of the
President of the United States in the
midst of the nations dead.
Prior to the Arlington ceremonies,
the President planned to review from
the white house a parade of veterans
and regular army troops led by Lieut..
General Nelson A. Miles. Members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and veterans of the Spanish-Ameri-
can legion and veterans of foreign
wars were to form in the marching
ranks.

May Have Been Little Signifi-
canoe in the Visit, But the
Additional Information" Has
Been Given the Commission

Case Expected Soon.
SECURING INFORMATION
(By Max Abernethyl

Raleigh, May 3O.-Publication in
this correspondence May IL that the
telephone rates in North Carolina
would not be increased in the early
decision of the State c, rporation
Commission twice brought officials of
the l.ern Bell Telephone Com
lany I. the capital where they con-
fer.ed with members of the COM
mission.
The visit of the telephone officials
during the last ten days is said to
have been for the purpose of furnish
the commissioners. 1t, does not appear
what the additional information"
was nor did the commission think it
pertinent to make public the facts in
connection with the visit of the te1e-
phone officials.
1t may be that there was little or
no significance in the visit but it is
interesting that one member of the
commission who three weeks ago
said that "our order has all but ruled
the Southern Bells case out of court"
today thinks that the Raleigh morn
ing newspapers editorial argument
against granting the company an in
crease in rates is decidedly unsound.
This argument was that it made no
difference whether the Southern Bell
Company was making money is North
Carolina provided the parent organ
ization, the American T. and T. Com
pany, was showing a nine percent
gain annually.
But the additional information has
been given the commissioners and
the decision allowing or disallowing
the increased rates in North Caro-
lima cities and towns is expected by
the end of the present week.
Protesting officials of municipali-
ties have not been called upon for
any additional Information in op-
position to the application for in
creased rates.

DE PALMA LOST OUT.

Tommy Milton took the lead in to-
day 500 automobile race at the
500 mile mark when Ralph De Palma
who led until that point was forced
to the pits four times in fifty miles
through engine trouble. Roscoe
Searls was second.
De Palma had to quit the race and
pushed his car to the garage with a
broken connecting rod. He won more
than $4,000 in lap prizes before
quitting.
Speedway, May 30.-At the 18th
lap of 80 miles De Palma led and
had won a majority of the laps.
Milford Bolfard went to the pits to
change tires and Fontaine stopped to
get new spark plugs. Boyer and
Searls, and Wilcox were close behind
De Palma and others were scS tered.
De Palma's average at 175 miles
was 1856. Allie was second when
Milton was forced to pits and Searly
dropped back to third lace. Milton
lost only one minute and 40 seconds
changing two tires and taking on gas
line and resumed in fourth place.
The positions were unchanged at
200 miles.

PRESIDENT URGES (.
NATIONAL IDEALS
Duty to Civilization Can Be
Accomplished by First Car
ing for National Integrity.

Washington, May 39.-A nation
loyal first to it's self but never fail
ing to measure up to the demands of
advancing civilization was offered
b. President Harding as the ideal of
today in his memorial day address
at Arlington cemetery.
American heroes of. every war, the
President said, had accomplished far
more than the immediate ends for
which they fought because they had
helpe derect and preserve a shrine for
the liberty loving of every race. He
declared while the mission of Amer
lea would become an unrealized
dream if this heritage ever were sac
rif1ced.
"Our country" said Mr.. Harding
HAS never failed to measure up to
demands presented it in behalf of
humanity and it never will When it
ceases to meet these drafts it will no
longer be our country; it will be, if
that time ever comes, the wretched
and decaying memorial of another
civilization which had crumbled, of
another idel which had failed, an
ambition for mems happiness which

GUARD AMERICANS
AGAINST SINN FEINERS.

London, May 2S-Scotland Yard
is today secretly guarding few
resident Americans against whom
Sim Feiners have directed threats.
In at least one instance, that of an
American correspondent who has
been here 21 years, apparently the
only difference Sim Feiners might
have with him is that he strongly
believes in the closest relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, and does not miss an oppor-
tunity to reach that docty inc. The
only stand he has taken on the Irish
question is that it will never drive
a serious or permanent wedge be-
tween the English speaking people.
