COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
AT CANDLELIGHT CLUB

Denver. Colo, April 2O.-The News
thus characteriZes the meeting and
banquet of the Denver Candlelight
Club at the Brown Palace hotel last
night:
There were famous men, we'll
known men, orators, men who are
directly in line for fame, and those
who didn't speak, didn't care to. who
were satisfied at ''the feast of reason
and the flow of SOUL" the silvery
words of men of the great educational
institutions of the country and state, of
the Church and the professions.
1T is dinner that will go down
into history. Its rhetorical sky
rockets went off in the mellow glow of
the wax candles, for. as the name sig
nities, the candle was the only means
of Illumination; the electroliers We're
turned out when the toasts began.
1T was the nineteenth meeting of
the club and Il menu-intellectual-of
rare delight had been prepared.
Princeton and Dartmouth men were at
the Brown in large number, having
gathered from all parts Of Colorado
and surrounding states to greet the
presidents of their alma matters. And
when Presidents Patton and Tucker
were introduced they all felt that they
were boys again and privileged to yell
to their hearts content"
The principal speakers were Presi-
dent Francis l.. Patton of Princeton
University, President William j.
Tucker of Dartmouth President Will
lam +. Slocum of Colorado College, and
Rabbi Friedman of Denver.
Among the guests We're the following
distinguished college presidents and
educators: President James II. Baker
of the University of Colorado Chancel-
lor Henry A. Buchtel of the University
of Denver. President Regis Chauvenet
of the State School of Mines, Superin-
tendent Aaron Cove of the Denver
schools.
The meeting was enlivened by the
college yells of the alumni of Princeton
and Dartmouth. who We're present in
considerable numbers.
The subject discussed was. 1.-THE
Modern University and Its Relation
ship to American Citizenship" The
consensus of opinion of the distin-
guishcd educators was that the univer
sity as n teacher of pure science is in
dispensable to the healthful develop
ment of civilization and the greatest
good of the state.

RURAL DELIVERY.
Congressman Padgett Corrects Some
Erroneous Impressions in Re-
gard to the Service.

Editor Herald: There seems to be in
circulation many erroneous reports and
misunderstanding in regard to rural
free delivery.
Allow me to say there is no intention
or purpose on the part of the depart
ment to discontinue the country post
Office wherever there is any necessity for
such Office to remain, or where the con-
venience OF the people requires the con-
tinuance of the office. The post offices
in the country will be left substantially
as they now are The rural delivery
service is intended to supplement the
post offices and render an additional
service to the people, and thus better
their postal facilities. A person can
use his post office or get box and use
the rural delivery, as he prefers. The
post master will furnish boxes at first
cost to all who wish them. There will
not be any profit on the boxes nor any
rent to pay on boxes, nor any charge or
expense of any kind at any time, except
the cost of the box, which can be had
for from $1,25 to S175.
Rural free delivery has been success
fully working in European countries for
years. In this country it has been tried
for several years. Everywhere it has
been put into operation it has given
very great satisfaction to the country
people, and the greatest demands for
it come from those sections where it has
been tried and it's benefits are known.
My purpose is to see that the people
get more facilities and better, and not
fewer or worse. There will be daily
distribution and collection of the mails
on every route, except Sundays.
The rural free delivery has proven
great blessing to every community
where tried, and am anxious for oul
people to receive and enjoy its benefits
] am satisfied these imaginary doubts
will all disappear when the service gets
into operation. Very truly,
L 2. PADGETT.
