The state treasurer of Colorado nas the right idea, whether aor not he can, so to speak, cash in on it. Colorado has two million in highway bonds she de- sires to market and the marketing at the present time is not exactly good. Like many other states Colorado is keen to build new and improve old roads and is constantly being pounded on the back by the people to provide roads in place of trails, to enable tourists from abroad, as well as the folks at home, to get about among the scenery and attractive spots with which the Centennial state abounds. The state treasurer being a gentleman of origin- ality, surveying the field, after receiving no bids for kis state bonds from bnukers and investors, appealed to Messrs. John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford, to absorb between them the two million, required by the state to proceed with her road program. The treas- urer’s theory, as explained to these gentlemen, being that good roads will increase the demand for Mr. Ford's flivvers and the increased use of these will by the same token augment the sale and use of Mr. Rocekefeller’s superior petroleum products. The state treasurer of Colorado does not employ it as an argu- ment, but it is, nevertheless, a good one, that the in- creased use of gasoline, oil and other by-products within the sales zone of Wyoming refineries, will re- duce the stored and constantly increasing stocks and enable refineries to proceed with enlargements, mean- ing a greater use of crude product, employment of more labor in oil field and refinery and consequently greater prosperity for the people of two states, and for those engaged in the business of refining pe- troleum. The matter of retarding their own good fortune and that of others has been placed before Messrs. Rockefeller and Ford; but it is yet too early to re- port the result. It is not believed thtt a million apiece from the Rockefeller and Ford private coffers would endanger the solvency of either gentleman and in case ready money was desired, Colorado state bonds would not be the worst collateral in the world. Sa WHO GETS IT? For a strictly bone dry country, the importation of intoxicating beverages to the value of five millions of dollars in the past fiscal year into the United States is going some. And when you take into account the year previous saw only wet goods to the value of $520,000 brought in, you must either conclude that private stock has mostly been consumed, or the curse of drink is picking up. Wine was the largest item in the list of intoxicants, amounting to more than two million gallons, as against 28,000 gallons the previous year. Whisky came next, for quantity—495,000 gallons, compared with 32,000 gallons in 1920. Great Britain shipped us the booze, France the champagne and Spain the odds and ends on the wine list. The present fiscal year is likely to see a substan- tial increase of importations. Mind you, these figures are strictly official and do not take into account the very considerable amount of hooch smuggled across the border from Canada, and shipped in through Mexico, Cuba and the West Indies. There is no record of “moon,” “mule,” “shotgun,” “forty rod,” “coffin varnish,” and other pet brans, distilled, brewed, concocted and cooked up in our own dry land of liberty, for these trade secrets are not disclosed to the wational prohibition department. Signs, however, indicate the output to be fairly enorm- ous, in quantity and extremely awful in quality. It is not believed that the’ people contemplate per- mitting the country to slip back into the moisture, but it is well occasionally to report on the exact state of the corpse of the late Mr. Barleycorn; and to give warning of any likelihood of a resurrection. The gov- ernment’s figures would indicate a slight restlessness on the part of the remains. SEER BUSINESS MAN MUST PERK UP. In a day when there is such demand for informa- tion upon every conceivable topic and when the news- paper and the platform both invite a response to the demand, the Business man, the manufacturer, the banker and all the others possessing first hand infor- mation had better show wisdom and polish up their written and spoken English and cultivate the arts of public speaking or they will be distanced by those who have only half knowledge or none at all of the things the public desires to know and ought to know. There is an open season at all times for informa- tion. Every gathering that is held must be addressed by somebody having special knowledge of interest in the thing that brought the audience together. Chambers of commerce, commercial clubs, women’s clubs, churches, societies and associations without end, all have need of speakers. Their programs are made up largely of addresses, and men representing] tion is expected to fade. every line of business endeavor are selectd on various of these programs to talk. How do they put it over? They do not put it over at all They possess the first hand knowledge, but they cannot impart it—either in- terestingly or intelligently to the hearers. The business man must brace up and brush up. He must write for the newspapers. He must make brief talks, plain business ones, upon the subjects he knows better than anyone else. The writing will make him more careful of his English and the speaking will de- velop the graces he never knew were in him. The business man often has a messare the world ought to have. The press and the forum are wait- 2S CEE TED, ‘: | ing for him to deliver it If he doesn’t grasp the op- portunity then he is entitled to no complaint if the labor leader, the professor, the lawyer, the profes- sional reformer, the student and all the rest will out- strip him in moulding public opinion and the public will remain in ignorance of the things he wants it to know and in all probability will form wrong conclu- sions respecting his business. The business man may realize his situation now, with reference to being heard by the public, but if he does not he will learn as time goes on that it will be a dividend-paying enterprise for him to know how to present his case to the public intelligently and force- fully. John Wanamaker, one of the world’s greatest ad- vertisers, in his long business career, has not confined himself to newrpaper advertising to tell the people the things they want to know. He has spoken it from the platform at dinners, at gatherings of every de- scription and has written it to the newspapers. Do likewise. = a JUST A LITTLE TOO SWIFT. Senator Borah is a most useful and industrious member. He is useful in reminding the Republican majority of the promises made to the people previous to the last election, and industrious in seeing that they are kept. At times, however, he is just a little too swift for the good of either the party or the country. He is inclined to crowd the procession and want too much accomplished all of a sudden. He is too impa- tient with delays and is scarcely willing to grant enough time to get one thing out of the way before he shoves in something else. He is becoming restive on the subject of free tolls for American coastwise vessels through the Panama canal, which will involve a considerable dispute with Great Britain and other nations, on the eve of the assembling of disarmament| union No. 18 and Waiters’ union No. convention wher there should be as few international controversies to compose as possible. It was Senator Borah more than anyone else that brought about the action by America in the matter of a world congress to discuss the question of disarma- ment.and he should be patient until the discussion has been had. There is time to bring the tolls mat- ter forward later, who knows that this very tolls m ter will not figure in the disarmament adjustment, if it is determined at all; anl it might be advantageous to us to recede from the position we now hold in the matter. Senator Borah ought to know that the senate can- not have too many irons in the fire at once. Some of them are likely to cool off. ATEN. TESTOR ae DOING MUCH BETTER. From a nation of liquor consumers we are passing to a nation of coffee drinkers, under prohibition. Cof- fee has long been the sobering off beverage and any increase in coffee consumption would indicate that we are sobering up after our years of debauch. Hence- forward we are destined to, at least, know what we are about, and have the aid of sobriety in the things we undertake. If we have gone forward to the suc- cesses of the past when soaked with liquor what can we hope to accomplish with a clear brain and the clean feeling that goes with freedom from alcohol? The increase in coffee drinking, since the advent of prohibition has been 21 per cent, or 100 cupsful for each man, woman and child in the country. American coffee consumption for the past fiscal year was 1,281,610,596 pounds, sufficient to make 484 cups for each of us. The coffee production is look- ing up for we are told that its total in the world reached approximately 2,500,000,000 pounds last year. To aid in the sobering up process we algo have the benefit of the tea crop and the devotees of that cup that cheers. Further, we have the soda fountain products tempered ‘to the season, cold in summer and hot in winter, Altogether we are getting on very comfortably without hard drink, and we are certain- ly a happier and more efficient people. eS BERGDOLL’S RETURN. While the American state department is maintain- ing the utmost reticence concerning the details of provisions of the peace treaty with Germany, which is proper and approved action, there is believed to be proviston made where that arch draft slacker, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, may be returned to the jurisdi tion of the United States to receive punishment so richly merited. Upon the grounds of being an escaped prisoner and fugitive from justice which will doubtless be cov- ered in any treaty that will finally be ratified by the American senate the United States hopes to see an end to the Bergdoll disgrace. Germany, it is understood, has no particular sym- pathy for Bergdoll; and the time, when she would seek to prevent this country from punishing her crim- inals, having long since passed, it is assumed from her attitude, would surrender the fugitive as soon as the protocol is signed, waiving ratification by the senate. It is to be hoped that the war department will see fit to appoint Carl Neaf and Frank Zimmer agents of this government to receive the prisoner, when. he, is turned over by Germany in the final formalities. We are of the opinion they can be entrusted with the duty of his safe keeping and delivery. RAIL PAYMENTS TOBE LIMITED TO WAGE RAISE. Roads Not Entitled to Consid- eration for “Inefficiency of Labor’ During Guar- antee, Period. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Cost of labor allowances to railroads for the six months guarantee period follow- ing government control will include only increased wages “inefficiency of labor’ a. decision handed down-by-the inter- state commerre commission. The ruli, involves the basis of claims by the railroads against the government’ for labor costs in opera- tion and maintenance. The commission held that the reduc- tion in wagee were not justified un- less they resulted in a corresponding reduction in the ¢osts to tho on. er. The petition was filed July 12, by the restaurant association with Cooks’ 14 as defendants. A reduction of 10 per cent for cooks and 20 per cent for waiters and waitresses was asked. In denying the petition of the em- ployers, the commission sald in part. “The commission feels that all wages and prices should return to as. near normai as possible at the earl- fest possible time, but that the grant- ing of the demands of the employers herein would not result in a reduc- tion of prices to the consumer and therefore they should not granted at this time. “The employer admitted that a re- duction of the wages of their em- ployes would not result in a reduc- tion in prices to the consumer, and stated that there probably would be an increase in the prices of food served in their respective places of business.” During the hoaring the employes testified that the restaurants of the city have been operating at a loss because of reductions in prices made necesstry Dy competition and in- crease| operating expenses. Prior to the hearing the employers’ assocition had agreed to abide by the decision of the commission. pmacbls: sacs POLISH LEADER GIVES UP TRIP.

We have received a communication from someone signed “Bootiegger.” It is a rather able article from that standpoint. The article cannot be published for the reason, the author omitted to sign his name to his work. The Tribune will not publish anonymous articles upon any subject; and while we are pleased to receive discussions of jnturest to the public, we must know the author's identity, whether his name is to be used or not. This requirement has been stated so often that it is strange that anyone should be un- informed in the matter this day. A publisher holds a responsible position to his readers and the public generally and when he opens up the columns of his newspaper to anonymous communications there is no knowing where it will lead or when it will cease. We want the people to write upon all subjects that interest them. We want to be the means of passing on anything that will be of benefit, but we decline to stand sponsor for matter a writer disowns by failure to acknowledge its authorship. ee ee WANTS TO JOIN LEAGUE. Charles Hapsburg, former emperor of Austria and king of Hungary, at present without a job; is prepar- ing for another move to regain the throne of Hun- gary. This time he will not stage a coup d’etat with military and an arousing of the royalist sentiment still strong among the people. He will employ an en- See, tirely different means to attain his object. His plans which have become known in France and England, where his agents have been at work for some time, are to get Hungary into the’league of nations through the good offices of the countries named. Once safe- ly in the league, then the cry of self-determination will be raised and a prebiscite sought as in Upper Si- lesia. If the allied sanction is secured other opposi- The hope of favorable league action is strong, If Europe can afford to see the former king re- stored, we don’t know as the rest of the world need care much one way or another. His neighbors over there will have to live with him. The real fun in the situation will come when Hun- gary tries to break into the league and leave Ger- many out in the cold. It is even thought that Ger- many has some such plan on her own account, at least among the old military group. ———_—0.
