ALLIANCE OF ISRAEL.

The Alliance of Israel succeeded l.
obtaining signatures of II number OF
prominent Americans to the following
appeal, and is endeavoring to induce
others to join the same movement.
TO every employer:
Your cooperation is earnestly
sought in helping to solve serious
problem which coufrOnts many con
scicntious and loyal American citizens
whose religious convictions require the
observance of the Seventh Day as the
Sabbath.
Because of the stress of economic
conditions a great number of these
people must crush the noble religious
convictions and impulses of their souls
and work on Saturday. which is their
Sabbath. This external pressure often
leaves men stripped of that religious
fibre which is most potent factor in
maintaining public peace and happl'
ness, May we count You among those
who are ready to afford employment
to such aS desire to observe the
Seventh Day sabbath? We are GER
tain that you will find our appeal a
highly humane one and that it will
meet with your favorable response.

WILLIAM E. SWEET

William E. Sweet is native
of Illinois, having been born in
Chicago in 1869. His parents
came to Colorado Springs in
1871, where he lived until 1898,
when he moved to Denver. He
is a graduate of Swarthmore
College, Pennsylvania, and is
married and has three sons and
one daughter.
Shortly after coming to Den
yer Mr.. Sweet engaged in the
municipal and corporation bond
business, in which he was very
successful. He did not content
himself with business alone, but
showed that he was man of
wide interests by his activities
and large contributions to vari-
Gus forms of church and phil
anthropic work, as well as all
movements for the development
and upbuilding of the State.
During the world war Mr..
Sweet was very active, both at
home and abroad. He was
Divisional Secretary in France
in the work of the Young Mems
Christian Association. Upon his
return to this country he ad-
dressed many gatherings in the
West and on the Pacific Coast,
recruiting men for overseas
duty. He was on the State Exc
cutive Committee in the First
Liberty Loan Drive and was
State Chairman of the Jewish
Relief Fund Drive; also the
United War Work Campaign. He
has been President of the Denver
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton for twenty-one years, and
was President of the Interna-
tional Convention of this organi-
zation at Detroit three years ago.
For many years Mr.. Sweet has
given great deal of time to the
study of public questions and
the promotion of progressive
ideas. He believes in democracy,
in the right of the individual to
self determination. He is for
ward looking, and, while conserv-
ing what is best in American
traditions, he is not fettered in
his political thinking by custom,
or usage, or tradition. He be-
lieves that true democracy can
De attained only through evolu-
tionary processes, and that
should democracy become static
it would cease to exist. Mr..
Sweets outstanding characters
tic is keen sense of what should
constitute fundamental justice
in our industrial and social or
der, and he is fearless in advocat-
ing those principles which he be-
lieves are for the common good
and the advancement of human
brotherhood, irrespective of race,
color, religion or class.
He is fine example of the
business man who has vision and
an open mind; of the man of
wealth who has not allowed his
humanitarian instincts to be
stihed. Last summer he went to
Europe to inform himself on So
cial and industrial conditions
abroad, and since his return he
has spoken widely on this sub
ject.
Mr.. Sweet is a lifelong Demo-
crat, and was one of the electors
on the winning ticket in 1916,
casting his vote for Woodrow
Wilson for President. He is a
forceful and convincing speaker,
and if he should become the nom
inee of the Democratic Party he
could be relied upon to make an
energetic and tireless campaign,
and if elected Governor would
bring to the Office keen interest
in public affairs and executive
ability of a high order.

But Black Cap was not there! 1t

HOW TO GET KILLED.

WHENEVER you use ladder, re-
member that it is the most
dangerous device in existence. Lad
ders continue to cause more accidents
than anything else. This is shown
by Insurance experts latest check-up
of fatal and non-fatal casualties.
Every minute Of the day and night,
% Americans are seriously injured by
accidents.
In the last four years, accidents
killed or injured more Americans
than the total killed on both sides of
the World War.
Human deaths by accidents in the
United States avearge around 10000
year, or 165 day, according to
the census.
You are, of course, "afraid of get
ting injured" And of what are you
most afraid? Autos, probably.
Yet, for each 81 people killed by
autos, 68 are burned to death. sc
die in railroad accidents, Sc are
drowned, 26 die in mines, 81 are as.
phyxiated by gas, 81 are killed
around machinery, % by street cars
% by bicycles and horse drawn We.
hicles.
And, toppin gthe list, III are killed
by falls-from ladders. out of win
dows, down elevator shafts or slip
ping on icy sidewalks that could be
made safe by sprinkling of ashes

WINK, the dream-fairy from
Snoozelum Town on the Moon,
slung three little poppy-leaf bags
over his shoulder and slid down a
bright moon-beam to the earth.
1t was a glorious night, a night
so clear and lovely you could see the
colors of the flowers in the garden.
There were faint STRINGS and rust
lings everywhere-night sounds, peo-
pie call them. Some say it's the
sleepy birds, some say it's the tiny
insects, and some say it's the wind.
But it's really the fairies that
come from the moon.
Over in the forest the trees rustled
and swished softly. That was the
Trce-Fairies who hop from branch
to branch looking out for the birds,
their babies and nests.
Up in the air was the faintest
hum-the wings of the Cloud
Fairies.
Here and there one could hear a
faint chirp-the Chimney Fairies on
the chimney-tops calling to one an
other.
And there! That sounded like a

YES, FUNNY, ISN'T 1T?

THE Columbus Enquirer-Sun, re-
producing a few days ago some
comment from the Times Recorder in
which it was stated that Ogden Per
sons had declined to run for COVER
nor and it then appeared that OPP
ponents of Governor Hardwick were
finding it difficult to get out can
didate against him, comes back this
way in part:
"They are, are they?-going to
find a hard time finding a man to
tackle Hardwick, Ell? And all the
time Cliff Walker was getting ready
to run. And has since announced.
Meaning, of course, that Cliff, has
at last arranged terminal facilities
with the Watson influence.
eve take it for granted, of course,
that Cliff knows what he is doing
that he has got his consent to 'ac-
cept Watson's support in order to
get in, we'll knowing what will hap
pen to him later on-that the. Thorn
son wildcat will turn on him and try
to tear out his political vitals before
livery long.
! "Funny, isn't it, that men are still
willing to play that sort of game ?
Willing to sacrifice a very large
measure of self-respect, and the re-
spect of their friends, to get political
office-at the price of Watson's sup
port"
And the Rome News chips in with
this:
Gall of which is but further evi.
dence that now as never before mer

all to relegate some of their self-re.

They apparently consider that a part
