DANDY LECTURE COURSE
FOR NEXT WINTEF


Lynden is going to have a splen-
did lecture course next winter-eQual-
ly as good as will be enjoyed in the
larger cities and towns in the state.
There will be at least four numbers
These include a magician Of world
wide reputation, an impersonator and
a concert company of five persons,
who have national regulations and at
least one lecturer Of national prom
inence. While it Is net yet decided
who the lecturer will be, it will prcb-
ably be either Opie Read or Judge
Lindsey, either of whom are men
worth more to hear than the price OF
whole seasons ticket. Opie Read is
one of the most read authors of tie
present day. Judge Lindsey as every
ne knows is the man who originated
the juvenile court in Denver and
whose fight for clean government
has awakened an interest In the whole
country.
Last winters lecture course, though
the first, was splendid financial sue
cess. After paying all expenses there
was in the treasury $92.05. This mon
ey was divided evenly between the
schools and the Free Reading Room
and Library.
While bext years course Is much
more expensive enc, thu directors feel
that it is SO al oh letter that they
can count upon the public to give ~
nough extra support to more than
make up the difference.

When this Senior class began their
High School work in Sept. 1906, their
number was greater than that OF the
present Junior class. But gradually
they dropped out, until at the beginn-

two girls remained. Did they give up
and say "Oh what's the use? We
can never accomplish anything alone?'
No sir! They said well stay to see

None of us is better than he should be.
But let him look that he is as good

let him distribute aims. # he is a

short often, and his heart fails, let him
aim high, and cheer another on where

Green and other city officials similarly
situated in this respect, would take
advantage of any such contingency
that might arise. Their action in the
first instance made possible the hold
ing of special election to decide as to
whether or not the commission form
of government should be tried. A ma
jority of voters decided to make the
trial. When the mayor and other city
officials lent their support to this
movement they indicated by their ac-
lions willingness to abide by the re-
suits. They we'll knew that the adop-
ton of the plan would shorten their
terms of Office by a year If the peo-
pie SO desired. The people have reg
istered an opinion in the matter and
it should be recognized, regardless of
any personal interests that any of the
city officials have at stake. They
would seem to be morally bound to
abide by the plans which have been
made even if a legal contest should
decide that they had rights to a con-
tinuance in Office which the adoption
of the commission form of government
could not abrogate.
If they have any intention of assert
ing these rights to offic,, if there
should be such a thing as their can
