TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

NV I'M 1-IWU 1EARS ACU
Twenty-Five years ago six tents, huddled together
the wndswept outskirts of the city, attracted little
notice from the casual passeby route from Denver
to Golden or to the ranches in the vicinity.
The occupants unknown to those who cast
passing glance the canvas houses nor did they arouse
much curiosity; for they were "ungers" fighting their
battle for life against and deadly malady
Yet these victims of consumption-six men and
womanwho called these desolate tents home thought
themselves of the elect indeed They among the many
were really here; summing their shrveed bodies at last
in the God given sunshine
Crowded with them in the ll-ventlated tenements
and sWeatshops of great city, had been thousands of
others. These still faced the unanswered question of
where to CO. and how to find means to get there how to
help themselves, if and when by some miracle they did
reach the Land of the Sum-

PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT

The modest tent sanitorium grew. First tents were
donated by individuals. Then branch societies were
formed throughout the country and these organiza-
tions were soon represented in the tent colony.
Later the demand for better buildings of brick and
stone were needed generously The New York Ladies'
Auxiliary constructed the first building in behalf of that
organization in 1911. The ST. Louis Ladies' Auxiliary
Building went up in 1919 The same year Mr. l. Rude
built the medical building, which bears his name. The
synagog building memorial to Jacob Solomon by
his father in 1911 and 1912 marked the construction of
the Solarum.
The crownng achievement in the physical plant
was the gift of the entire countrythe main hospital
building dedicated at the national convention of the j.
c, r, S. in Denver during the summer of 1922
Today the Jewish Consumptives Relief Society
sounds call throughout the land which must reach the
heart of every or woman who gives a thought to
the Suferings of humankind.

who founded the JEWISH CONSUMPTIVES' RELIEF

 Of course, we do not know whether this Is true or merely an effort 10 avoid responsibility for starting something that had an un- pleasant verbal sequel Such things have occurred before.
 The chief point is that rremicrs and officials generally should be sure of their ground before mak- ing speeches, They should be rc- strained in uttcrances and slow to anger.
 If the late unpleasant exchange of words vas based upon misin- formation that fact does not cradi- cate the hard feelings that remain.

GOOD WILL

How much is good will worth? The Ward Food Products corpora lion values good will' in the mil lions of dollars -- although it may be triflG mistaken. For purposes Of stock uses the higher the mythi- cal quality of good will is valued as all asset the greater the possibil- ties for tho stock issue. In such a case good will IS an aid in water ing the stocks.
 The latest good will estimate took place in Philadelphia -- the city of hrotherly love. where good will ought 10 be on tap constantly. The Yellow Cab company of that city values the good will incident 10 using yellow paint upon ifs gaso- line chariofs a' a cool s1.%h0. .0o0.
 How much thn Connecticut com rany vamrs it's yellow paint is not announced

STOCK EXCHANGE LOANS

The announcement by the New York federal reserve bank that more than three and a half billions of dollars in loans based on stock securities were on the books of the New York banks is at least addi- tional evidence that Wall street brokers do business largely with borrowed money, That the screws are being quietly applied to the situation is evidenced from the fact that such loans were reduced by more than $5o000.00O within Q month.
 It was announced that 70 per cent Of the loans made are payable on demand. That means in case of d general recession of the stock market the slump would be vastly aggravated by demands for repayment of bank loans on the securities. One can easily conceive of a serious situation wero stock prices to slump.
 The New York stock exchange, which made similar survey, was loss optimistic than tho federal re- serve bank. as the stock exchange estimate found that the loans upon securities carried by it's members totalled more than four billions of dollars.
 The banks and the stock ex- change no doubt arc beginning to put on the brakes at least slightly in connection with such borrow ings.

CLEARING THE WALKS

When Judge John J. kirkham thumbed tho law books. the city ordinances and the city charter 10 determine definitely the duties Of property owners respecting the re- moval of snow he did all citizens good service. There now can be no doubt that the public has rights along unaccepted streets as well as along accepted, streets. The upshot Of the law discovery Is that the public which uses unacccpted as well as accepted streets has the right to traverse either.
 Property along an unaccepted street gains in value by dint of the puhic's use of the thorough farc. The public once having been given the right 10 traverse such a street and encouraged 10 contribute to 'hN fa'uc cL tp'ii6 huus pIopNI LA also has the right to traverse the street when a fall of snow makes it temporarily necessary 10 oxpcnd effort. energy or a little money to keep the sidewalks or paths clean and safe. Ii is a case of the whole pie or none at all, for property owners and the public alike.
 On the other hand the law spcci- fes the city is not liable for in- juries received by travellers along unaccepted highways. This may seem an inconsistency in view of the other ruling, but the law en- deavors 10 be inordnately exact, and the city ordinances help 10 keep il 20.
 Judge kirkhan in getting at the bottom of the law, and Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods in asking an pnion from the corporation coun- '@I relative 10 the situation, are en- titled to the thanks of the com munity. They did their duty well | and the knowledge gained as a re- suit of the legal investigation should be powerful lever in keeping unaccopted streets passa- ble in tho future.

When the caucus is held next Tuesday for the purpose of nomin- ations for the judgcship and assist .ant judEaship of the city and police courts, Representative Freeman of Hartford will introduco the name of James E, Cooper for assistant judge MT. Cooper is the choice of local attorneys but he has not sought the place. Mr. Cooper is q member of tho common council and the charter says no member of that body can be appointed to or hold any office while he is serving his term. This may dcbar him, since the salary of S250 comes from the city treasury His friends, however, claim that the indgoship is state anu not a city office, He says he will not resign from the council, because he was elected for two years and wants to aorve his tenn, Of course, if MT Cooper couyjcts any person and the attorney is convinced that the ap- nointmcnt and therefore the scn- tence are lii"glh hahcas corpus pro .Cc"dines could be brought,

ANOTHER MERGER sulT

This is a year of congressional elections and a little busting will do no harm.
 Anyway, the federal authorities are throwing q few wronehos into the trust-manufacturing machinery and the public will at least applaud its efforts,
 The suit started Saturday against the National Food Products cor. poratton, so closely following the attack against the Ward Food Products corporation, puts the two leading food trnstityins plans on the defensive and emphasizes to the public the onormity of tho schemes that were being attempted.
 The National concern had it in mind 10 consolidate chain grocery systems. milk distributors, ice cream manufacturers and what not Tho food distribution system was to be a gigantic trust and competition was to be q thing of the past. The requirement of stock In subsidiary corporations is al lHged already to have begun -~ 10 the tune Of s1G0,000, GOO -- and confidence was expressed by the manipulators that all of them could eventually be brought under the control Of the octopus.
 If tho National and the Ward concerns had been left a free hand 10 execute their plans. taking ad- vantage Of the Tess government in business" promise. the final result would have been pretty kettle of fish for the public. That the governmental attacks are greatly feared was indicated by
  the collapse of the negotiations by the Postum Cereal company and inc California Packing company. A day after the government launched the offensive against the Ward i company the Postum negotiators let their plans drop like hot irons.
 It is the duty of the department ! of justice to make such trustifying plans entirely too hot for the [ others. The Sherman and Clayton acts are still on the books and are easier 10 enforce than the 18th . amendment and the Nolstead act.
