LOOKING BACK

In late April, 100 years ago. the
first steamboat on the Upper Miss
issippi made its maiden trip. It went
from St. Louis to Ft. st. Anthony,
now Fl. Smelling. The white inhabit-
ants Of that region were much excit-
ed, and the Indians were terrified.
thinking the ship q monster. Today
we don't believe there is citizen of
Julesburg who fully appreciates the
value Of that first steamboat trip 100
years ago. 1t opened up new and
wonderful section to steam naviga-
ton and the changes that have since
taken place on that river, the increas-
ed prosperity and the development of
agriculture for hundreds of miles on
each side of it are almost too tremend-
GUS for the mind to grasp. In the
course of 100 years people are apt to
be forgetful of the brave happenings
which made is possible. There are
few thrills as great today, even con-
sidering the airplane. Yet anyone
who will try to turn his mind back
100 years will get some idea Of how
far we've travelled in that time.

CHILD LABOR LAWS OPENLY
VIOLATED

Reports made recently by the child
ren's bureau of the Federal Depart
ment of labor reveal an unbelievable
condition existing in various sections
of the country regarding child labor.
In an investigation Of two mining
towns it was found that half the boys
13 to 16 years of age had left school
and gone to work in the mines. Gwen
the 14-year minimum is being violat-
ed in Pennsylvania" states the rpeort.
and hundreds of boys have been en-
ployed in the mines before reaching
that age, and often worked in total
darkness.
Factory conditions are also touched
upon in the report which invites the
attention of every person interested
in the building up of the highest type
Of Americanism, only possible thru
conservation of the growing gener-
alton and with proper education.
"The children's bureau believes the
American people should know about
these conditions" concludes the re-
port.

CAPPER'S UNIFORM MARRIAGE
AND SEPARATION MEASURE

Have you read the proposed mea-
sure making more difficult and tech
nical either the securing of marriage
license or freedom from the bonds of
wedlock which Senator Capper of
Kansas hopes to have enacted as a
federal marriage and divorce law?
The measure contains many excell-
ent features. restrictions and other
wise, that we would like very much
to see become covenants of the mar
riage contract, likewise those that
make more difficult the annulling of
the marriage vows. Trere is no SEN
sible reason why there should be diff
ferent marriage and divorce laws
throughout the states of our union,
and the Capper measure starts out
well by providing they be uniform,
though it will require constitutional
amendment authorizing congress to
enact his measure as federal law.
Another excellent feature of the
measure requires that an application
for marriage license must be made
two weeks previous to its final grant
ing, and that both parties must fur
nish affidavits certifying they are
not afflicted with communicable di-
seases and are of normal mentality.
Also there are other very laudable
restrictions touching on the fobidding
Of marriage Of the feeble minded,
epileptics or those of insanity tenden-
cies.
We are free to admit that there is
great necessity of improving our pres
ent lax marriage and divorce laws,
but also great care and intelligence
should be used in forming new mea-
sures to take their place and the
thought should ever be uppermost
that the restrictions for marriage or
divorce should not be surrounded with
so much technicle requirements as
would invite to lives of immortality.

men of marriageable age the mar

TO TRY NEW STUNT

We believe this state would do well
to watch the outcome of a new stunt
being tried out in Ohio. where promi-
nent bankers are proposing to loan
$250,000 to farm boys who want TO
raise pigs or calves, or put in a crop
of their own, just as many boys
around Julesburg are interested in
doing. The bankers will loan the
money along the same line Uncle Sam
loans to the farmer, and in doing so
they believe it will 60 a long way
toward keeping the boy on the farm.
Once they find they can get real fl
nancial backing, and that they can
make as much money as the city jobs
offer, they are going to be better sat
isfied. the bankers believe and there
won't be such temptation to 20 to
the city. Their profits will increase
enthusiasm among other boys, in the
end, and the quarter of million dol
lars will prove a good investment. It
is certainly going to be worth watch
ing.

WHY SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN
WHEAT RATES?

An investigation into railroad
wheat rates has brought to light the
interesting but rather astounding fact
that Canadian railroads deliver the
farmers wheat of that country to lake
port terminals at a cost of about half
what the American farmers are
charged.
A comparison of the railroad rates
Of the two countries, and the fact that
the Canadian farmer feels that he is
not getting square deal, would in
dicate there is something wrong with
the rates on wheat charged by our
American railroads. though so far no
the great difference.
It would be highly interesting if our
railroad magnates would explain why
they charge an American farmer
living just this side of the Canadian
line rate double that which his
neighbor across the line has to pay to
ship his wheat over a distance ag-
gregating practically the same num-
Der of miles. Here is an illustration:
When the American farmer at Sweet
grass, Montana. ships his wheat to
Duluth, a distance Of 1904 miles, he
pays 43 cents per 100 pounds. Sweet
grass is about ten miles away from
Coutts. Alberta. where a farmer who
ships his wheat to Fort William, a
distance Of 1908 miles. he pays the
Canadian railroad 27h cents. The
Canadian railroad has made haul Of
200 miles farther and ehrged 151k
cents less per hundred pounds than
the American railroad.
You may compare distances from
any point in western America and you
will find the difference in rates with
Canada will be of about the same un-
equal proportion.
If the Canadian farmer has a howl
coming, how about our own farmers
staging real roar?

THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT

Since the automobile has come into
such common use as to attract little
or no attention, we sometimes hark
back to the days when we owned and
rode = wonderful machine called BIZ
cycle. 1t was real bicycle with one
large wheel ahead and a small one
trailing behind-not the low-wheeled
safety model which any child could
master in few trials. Ours was one
requiring courage. perseverance and q
disregard for danger.
AS we recall our experiences with
that bicycle We remember that it con-
sumed more time in its mastery than
in breaking broncho to lead. ride,
or drive single or double. We also re-
collect that to be full-fledged bicycle
rider in those days meant that one po-
sessed acrobatic ability and no mean
performer as a contortionist or high
diver. for seated directly above the
high wheel there was nothing to pre-
vent one taking a headlong dive and
turning couple of flipflops if the
thing decided to stop real sudden. We
fought that machine for three weeks
before it permitted US to climb into
the saddle. and when we had succeed
ed that far, it promptly turned trip
lie somersault and landed all over us.
We don't know yet how we ever did
learn to ride the thing, nor how we es-
capped assassination at its hands, so to
speak; but We had any circus bare
back rider beat thirty-six ways from
the ace when it came to fancy filings in
the air or jumping upon the back of
a steed in motion. Our experience
was identical with that of every 9TH
er fellow who rode the old-fashioned
wheel, and those who have never had
that experience have missed some
thing in life

WHY JUST A WEEK?

The season for community efforts
along cleanup lines is approaching,
and already number of towns are
planning "Clean-Up" weeks. They
are good things, these cleanup weeks,
and if Julesburg had one every month
it would only serve to make better
town.
But we can't understand why the
cleanup campaign should only last
day or week. If the work done is
worth so much to community, why
not keep it up throughout the entire
year? There is needed every day the
application of soap and water and mop
and broom, of whitewash and paint
brush. More than 1000 communities
in the United States within the last
ten years have joined in the crusade.
What 4 should do is get into the
habit o. ming up all the time, or
have l.e @hly cleanup day, and we
understap that already the move
ment has been taken up by a number
of towns that have heretofore OBJ
served only a yearly Cleanup
Week"
Let the good work be extended to
every S>k and corner, not just to the
spots that can be seen by the public.
Cleaning of houses and ornamenting
of yards is not enough. There should
be cleaning of. every dirty alley and
Of every vacant lot on which there is
an annual growth of tin cans, old
shoes, discarded corsets and waste
paper that litters up the whole COM,
munity every time strong wind
blows. Most of these places are di-
sease-breeders and. since they are not
being used for building purposes
should be plowed under and planted to
garden truck, to some sort of crop
that would do somebody some good.
If we are to have a cleanup cam
paign this season let's start it early
and then not stop at day or a
week but keep right on the job until
We have the "spotless town" of the
