OLE THORSON
IS POSTMASTER
That Is He will Be as Soon as For
mdlitieS Attending Transfer
Can Be Made---Ndme Sent
to Senate Thursday
CONGRESSMAN HOGG STANDS PAT

Say, Glenwood has new post
master
Is that so, who is it2
Guess.
Why Ollie Thorson, of course.
Right you are and the first guess
too, but you are guessing on a cinch.
Mr.. Thorson was the recipient of
many congratulations Thursday after
noon when the news reached Glen
wood that President Roosevelt had
sent his appointment to the senate for
confirmation
There was really no surprise in the
news for nothing else had been ex-
pected. Mr.. Thorson had been in the
lead throughout the fight. He had
the support and earnest endorsement
not only of the state and county or
CARNATIONS of his party but of lead
ing politicians and party workers
throughout the state. Besides Con-
gressamn Hogg had promised to ap-
point him ana Mr.. Hogg has proved
himself man of his word.
To be sure radical efforts were
made to prevent Thorson from land
ing the prize, this opposition even
taking the form of personal protest
to the president but the knowing ones
simply winked the other eye and as
sured Mr.. Thorson that such oppo-
news now comes from Washington to
the effect that this protest really
strengthened his cause and if Ollie
fails to send the ''protestor' card
of thanks the Post will brand him as
ungrateful.
Ollie Thorson is eligible to member
ship in the organization of Native
Sons, having been born in DE Iver in
1872. He grew to manhood in the
invigorating air and mountainous sur
roundings characteristic only Of Colo
RADIO and by his energy, perseverance
and thorough integrity he has made
place for himself which many might
envy.
Settling with his parents over
twenty years ago in Glenwood
Springs, he received common school
education in our schools and began
his business career in the Glenwood
National bank He was afterwards
employed by the First National bank.
Ten years ago he gave up that po-
sition to go into business for himself
Mr.. Thorson belongs to the young
set of Colorado politicians and the
greatest compliment that can be paid
him is that in politics as well AS in
business he always "totes fair He
has served many years as town treas
urer and is now clerk and recorder of
Glenwood Springs,
For the past three years he has
served as a member of the Republican
State Central committee from this
county, and during portion of that
time there have been strenuous doings
which required not only political
judgment and 6rmness hut which Ie-
manded that ones obligation to his
constituents and those who showed
their confidence in his integrity by
placing him in the position had to he
considered
AT all of these contests and in the
face of the severest opposition of Den
yer politicians and others, Mr.. Thor
son proved himself true blue and
loyalty represented the people who had
showed their faith in him.
To say that Mr.. Thorson appoint
|
eIal and especially to his own party,
is but stating fact, and no further
proof of this is required than the
splendid endorsements which accom-
panied his application.

HuRRAH FOR
HIGH SCHOOL
GIenwoOd High School Now OC-
Cupies Position Long Coveted
Placed on Accredited List
by State Institutions
GOOD WORK OF SUPERINTENDENT

In this enlightened age when knowl
edge encircles the earth, and when
Drawn takes off its hat to brains seven
\ lays in the week, the pride of every
community should be its schools, if
they are good schools, and in fact it
should be the aim of every community
to make its schools the best that the
money at is disposal can procure.
Few of us can hope to do more for
our children than to lay an education
al foundation which shall be mould
ed and fashioned into honorable, in.
telligent and successful manhood and
womanhood as tine days come and go.
What wonder, therefore, that in our
eagerness to provide our children with
this great asset of life-second only
to spotless character-we should
note with especial pride any and
every advancement along educational
lines
The Glenwood schools have been
the subject of more or less comment
fol many years past A few years
ago the people of the district met and
discussed the detailed workings of the
schools in the hope that some improve
ment might be effected. 1t was point
ed out that the schools were not prop
erly graded, that there was no definite
>course of study and that our 'gradu
ates' found their diplomas worthless
20 TO in
any of our state institutions.
Members of the faculty in these
state institutions of learning visited
our schools, Investigated our met
of instruction. offered some sugges
tions and took their leave without Civ
Nng us any encouragement. Members
of the school board said they could
not understand why the state schools
would not recognize our graduates,
but to some of us no explanation was
necessary. The young people were
trying to graduate just as many young
people all over the country are trying
to hold positions and draw salaries
without work There WAS woeful
lack of organization and system and
an absence of real interest, intense
application and genuine hard work
without which little can be accom-
plished in any line.
From the reorganization of the
schools by Mr.. Dollinger and the
adoption of rational course of study
up to the present time, there has been
constant Improvement Every
effort possible has been made. not only
by the present but by the former board
to bring our schools to that high de-
gree of excellence where, by reason of
their real worth they would demand
recognition by the leading education
al institutions of the state.
The coveted goal has now been
Preached, as evidenced by letters this
week received from the State Univers-
ity at Boulder and also from the Uni
versity of Denver, placing the Glen
wood high school on the accredited
list with those institutions. This
means that hereafter the graduates of
the Glenwood high school may enter
the freshman class in those institu
tions without examination.

CRITICISM FROM SOLICITOR

Returns 1t to Council Without
His Approval.

The Solicitor and the building Inspector
TO be Gotten Into Legal shape.

City Council held its weekly meeting
last evening.
City Solicitor Townsend returned,
without his approval, the proposed
new building ordinance, on the ground
that it contains many defects. tt was
accompanied by a long letter, criticis-
ing the ordinance, chiefly the phrase
ology. IL was pointed out that there
are grammatical errors therein and
also that it is irregular in that, in
some places, it refers to the Mayor and
City Council, whereas the corporate
name Of the city is the Mayor and
Council.
After part Of the city solicitors let
ter had been read Mr.. MoCafferty
moved that further reading thereof be
dispensed with and that the ordinance
be returned to the building committee
and city solicitor for revision and cor
rection, his ground for cutting of the
reading being that it was an unwar-
ranted criticism of the ordinace.
Mr.. McGovern thought the commit
tee had not done its full duty, OF the
ordinance would have been in proper
shape.
Mr.. Lyons, who is a member Of the
committee, said the ordinance had been
hurried through and the COMMITTEES
did the best he could.
Messrs. Simmons, Taylor and Ross
wanted the letter read for information.

section II, and he thought nothing
would be accomplished by reading the
letter.
Mr.. Taylor said the city solicitor
had been criticised and criticism Of
one official was as much in order as
criticism Of another.
Mr.. McCafferty's motion to suspend
the reading of the letter and TO return
the ordinance to the committee and city
solicitor to be gotten into legal shape,
was adopted by a vote Of 8 to 3, all Of
the Democrats and President Ieitch

clerk was instructed to notify the city
