Most Colorado historians con-
tend there never was a drawing
on the Teller House bar floor be-
fore 1936. and that the Madeline
whose beauty adorns the high-ceil-
ing barroom is a hoax.
FORMER ARTIST
Some say that Hernon Davis,
an illustrator and former artist
for the Denver Post, did the paint-
ing. 'A longtime fancier of the
verse, Davis was said to have
been obsessed with the urge to
paint the face.
The story goes that Davis picked :
the Teller. House for his unau-
thorized work. With the aid of a
convincing barroom porter one
night in June 1936, he turned to
his oils and painted the face while
his assistant stood by with •
flickering candle.
But natives of Central City, like
George Magor. 67, custodian of the
Teller House, dispute this account.
Magor claims to have seen the
drawing in 1898, as a boy of eight.
His miner father, he says, took
him into the bar.
Magor soberly recalls the pic-
ture then was in the chalk out-
lines described in the poem.
"Varous people retraced the or-
iginal. time and again, to pre-
serve it. I guess," he says. "The
only reason it wasn't rubbed out
of existence was that miners are ■
superstitious folk, and refused to
walk on the picture.”

Careful Drivers Beware
Of The Fool In A Hurry
. This message is not directed to the fools who esuse
head-on collisions. It would do no good to address a
message to them, for three reasons.
In the first place, the kind of drivers who pass or.
- hills and blind curves, and pull out of lane without
bothering to see if another car is coming, are too busy
preening themselves on what sharp drivers they are
to read any messages. In the second place, it is doubt-
ful if these morons can read, anyway.
If they-could, surely by now they would have read
‘newspaper stories about the hundreds of horrible head-
on crashes caused by drivers like themselevs,, and
learned some sort of lesson from the stories.
Finally — very finally — the criminally careless
drivers who have already had their head-on collisions 1
are probably dead, along with the innocent victims
they carried with them. —
No, this mesage is for the good drivers, the drivers
who recognize that others have a right to a part of
the road; the drivers who like to get home alive. Here
is the message — it ought to be posted along, every
highway: "Beware! Fools at Large!” Keep’this message -
before you every minute, every second. Death can
come in the wink of an eye. It isn’t enough merely
to drive safely yourself: you have no allow for the
other fellow.
The one who can’t wait to get over the hill before
he pullS out to pass, who can’t wait to get around that

Released last October from an
Allied war crimes prison in West

Victory For Business
The snail’s pace at which reluctant bureaucrats have
been whittling down Uncle Sam’s $15 billion dollar
investment in 19,265 Government-owned business-type
activities and curtailing this impossibly unfair com-
petition with tax-payer private businesses, may now
be stepped up.
In response to letters and telegrams and personal
protests from businessmen all over the nation (prod-
ded by various small business organizations and notably
by National Associated Businessmen) a conference com-
mittee on the Military Construction Bill threw out the
principal road-block that has stood in the way of get-
ting the Government out of business. — —
In passing the bill without the obstructive Section
411 of the original House bill, Congress has cleared
the way for the Defense Department to divest itself
speedily of those activities, mostly in the category of
"small business,” that threaten the very existence of
thousands of privately-financed, tax-paying enter-
prises—coffee-roasting plants, motor repair and type-
writer shops, paint factories and a long list of others.
The obnoxious and discredited Section 411 would
have required the Secretary of Defense to secure the
approval of Congress on the termination of most of
these business-type activities. As matters stand, the
Department is now on its own, free to move as speed-
Uy as it can in scotching these threats to our tradition-
al system of free enterprise. In view of the express-
ed desire and intention of the Department to pare
down its manpower, it is fair to expect these competi-
tive installations to be uprooted and east out right and
But just in case there is undue foot-dragging from
the bureaucrats who would like to keep their fat-cat,
non-competitive jobs and retain their command over
thousands of Government-supported workers, those
same business men who blocked Section 411 will want
to stay on watch. -
In fact, National Associated Businessmen has ask-
ed in a recent bulletin that "members who are being
hurt by Defense Department competition’”- submit re-
ports on their situations and the association "will un-
dertake to make proper representations to the Penta-
gon and find out what can be done.”
We think that every business and trade association
in the broad field of American free enterprise would
do well to advise its members similarly, and to throw
its best efforts into a speed-up of getting the Govern-
• ment out of business. The Pentagon can no longer
pass the buck to Congress!
