CONFERENCE OF SCHOOLS
IS UNDER CONSIDERATION

Plans are on foot for the organiza-
ton of western slope athletic league
or conference of all the high schools
on this side of the range in Colorado
that are taking up athletics this year.
The plan has been taken up by VIII
Lynch of the local school and with
the cooperation of several principals
of other schools about the slope will
probably succeed in his endeavors.
There is great need for such a
league as in that manner strict
schedule of games could be arranged
and the officers of the league chosAp
from delegates from different schools
could be empowered to settle all
mooted points in reference to eligi-
bility, contests, etc.
The proposed league as outlined at
present will include Telluride. Mont
rose. Delta. Paonia, Gunnison, Sa-
Ida, Leadville. Glenwood, Aspen and
Grand Junction.

Charges Against Councilmen.

Mayor Richardson has done no less than his
duty in communicating to the Commonwealth s
Attorney and the president Of the Council the
charges which have been preferred against
lCouncilmen Gilbert X. Pollock and George E,
Wise, that the charges may be investigated.
The case is not TO be prejudged one way or
the other But the Council should make the in
vestigation as thorough as possible and sift the
facts TO the bottom If. as they claim, these
Councilmen have done no wrong, they are en-
titled to be cxonerated. But Il they have used
their connection with the Council for selfish
and unworthy purpose and in any way abused
the trust reposed in them, the fact should be
exposed.
The idea is all too prevalent that a Council
man is justified in turning his official position to
private gain. But the idea is vicious and in
tolerable place in the Council is place of
honor and trust and the man who holds it is
trustee of the people and should know no other
consideration than that of the public welfare.
