A Little Confidential
'
V By the-Editor of the Record.
I haws had a good many friends
salt me during the past year why I
do not write more for The Record.
I really enjoy the writing part of
the newspaper but there are many
details ahoat a dally newspaper anil
one can hardly look after all de
partments successfully.
For five years much of my time has
been taken up by tbe business side
and I have left the writing, to others
who have done it well. Years ago I
wrote every line la the Weakly Rec
ord, and occasionally when Mr. Em
met-eon bo* been 111 or off on a va
cation, which hasen't been often. I
have taken his place for a day of two
and enjoyed It keenly. The drudgery
of writing comee when one feels that
he is neglecting other things to do
it and that has bean the trouble with
aw work tor several yearn.
But I am going to try to do more
of it ln the fntnre. I shall try to
famieb n column or two ones a week
or afteaer.
In starting out I am going to be a
little confidential and talk to the
readers of the Record Inst as person
ally and frankly as If each waa a
personal friend of mine and Interest
ed. I know this is a Utile unueoal
In n paper that Is published ter a
little community. Mr. Bok of the L»-
dies' Home Jon real or Mr. Lorimtr
of tho Saturday Hvealng Post and Mr.
O'Nail of tho Denver Times and F.
W. W. of The Nears do those things
freely because they seldom see the
people tee* to face who read their
editorials. Bat I are no reason by
even In a little community on* may
not lust as properly spesk as fraak
ly to bit readers aa a pastor might
to his congregation.
So in tbe outset I will tell yow
some real confidence*.
For several years I have been halt
trying to “drift" out of the news
paper besteea*. Not that I do not
Ilka the bostaess. ter I have learned
that i Hke It hatter and know it bet
ter than any other baths ess, bat from
a money making standpoint it does
not offer the remuneration to evea
those who excell In It that many oth
er lines or professions do—that the
capital Invested end labor necessary
really deserve.
Whan I bought the lumber yard a
few years ego I bed no Idea that 1
would be spending many hours a day
In The Record office by this time—l
thought that I would “drift" Into
bigger business. I am entirely sat
isfied with that investment bnt I have
learned from It that my personal
taste doesn't ran that war. It's too
slow n business ter anybody who bt*
ever been connected with a dally
newspaper. Kvea Mr. Bmmereon who
get* through his work about foar
o'clock on most day* wouldn't feel
like be wee earning hie money If he
took Mr. Bandera place down at the
yard. Yea haven't any Men what a
quiet place evea a good lumber yard
that la doing a good bnstnees la !f
yow haven't sat around one for s
tew days.
So r hare drifted hack to the news
paper offioe whore there la work to
do—work of the Mad that I know haw
to Ik. ■ •' '■» r c* <
And I hare determined that I trill
spend the next tew years la building
•p The Record and helping It to help
balM ap the town.
I hare had temptations to more
away. Ilka soar* of our good psopls,
to a Mg city where the opportnnitss
seem brighter aas bigger. A recant
temptation cam* In the -way of a
“call” to a large city newspaper tn
Join some very daaSrabl* people ln
its ownership and management.
It whs Oust that brought tn* to *
realisation of tbs fact that > don't
want to move away from Canon City.
And tho opportunity tn so sway to
Mggar thing* has mad* m* mote
contented to stay with s smaller pro
position.

healthful summer anywhere.
Canon City possesses all the con
veniences and advantages of city life,
with all the comforts and pleasures or
coantry life.
Whore la there a better place to
bring ap a family of children than
here?
If I were earning only two dollars
a day I would rather lira in the sun
shine of Colorado and among the
fruit and blossoms of Canon City than
In nay other place ln the world.
And If I had the wealth of Mr. Olbson

Carlton I would travel more than they
do, and hare a better time, bnt 1
would keep my home hare and would

a business way it is better than most

Dearer, Oct, 20.—Stockmen in thi«
city yMtorday received a telegram
that a bunch of choice Colorado cai
