School OF Mines To Be
West Point OF West

The Golden School of Mines is
to become the West Point of the
West. 1t is the first school in
United States to be designated
as a federal military college, I'M
der the provisions of the nation
al defense act passed last June.
The new law provides that a
number of colleges thruout the
country will be made training
schools for army officers. The
instruction will be under the d.
rection of a United States army
officer, will be practically the
same as that offered at West
Point. and will be carried along
in connection with the regular
school course.
The Golden college is congrat-
ulating itself that it has been the
first college appointed by the
government to take up this work,
and it is probable that large
number of students will enlist
for the military instruction and
that the classes will be formed
shortly. Capt. Joseph A. Rog-
ers, commandment of cadets at
the Colorado Agricultural col
lege. will visit the college at an
early date to explain the new
act to the Mines students and
help in the formation of classes.
The act provides that no school
of the Officers Reserve Corps
can be established unless at least
100 men sign to take the course.
The course lasts the entire four
years, but is so arranged as not
to conflict with the regular col
legc work in any way. Upon
the completion of the course the
students are required to spend
six months in the regular army
as second lieutenant. AT tho
end of that period they may TAX,
a permanent commission in the
army or retire to private life,
subject to call as officers in cases
of national emergency. AS they
are entirely under the federal
government, they have no con
nection with the state militia
and of course cannot be called
upon for strike duty.
Thru this course a large mum,
Der OF students will be able tc
pay their way thru college, as
the men will bc given their cloth,
ing and equipment during the
first two years and rations and
lodging in addition thru the last
two.
The Golden faculty believe
that, in accordance with the ma
turc Of the school, the course at
Golden will aim principally to fit
the men to take command of en-,
ginccr companies.

Temporary School
Buildings Going Up

Work began Tuesday on the
temporary school houses which
will be erected on the primary
school grounds, Just back of the
line Of the rear of the old build
ing, at each corner.
The size Of the buildings will
be 26 X SO and it is estimated
they will accommodate with seat
ing capacity about. so pupils each.
They will be heated by heating
plant outside the building so as
to give all the loom possible,
They will be well heated and
ventilated and provided with
plenty of light according to the
regulation requirements.
Fred SchelIinger secured the
contract for the two buildings
and is to have one of them COM
pleted within five weeks,
Theodore Simms has the con-
tract for the heating plant. The
buildings furnished complete will
cost about 81, 800.
Following is a list of the bids
and bidders:

1t will be noted that Mr.. Schel-
linger is the lowest bidder and it
would seem that the district
would get off very reasonable for
what the specifications call for.
Mr.. Schellinger is known to be a
very careful and conscientious
workman.
The Enterprise corigratulates
the people OF the district in hav.
ing selected J. ]. Webber as SEQ.
rotary of the school board last
spring. Mr.. Weber has work.
ed diligently on this matter and
while we do not wish to under
estimate or overlook the interest
and good work done by President
hinges and Treasurer Lawrence
in this matter. we wish to com
mend Mr., Webber as the new
member of the board.
The people Of the district are
familiar with the obstacles that
have been thrown in the way of
Mr.. Weber and the school board
since he took the Office and they
know the source and the inspira.
ton of those obstacles, but he
has continued on the even tenor
of his way and with the coopera-
ton of the other members of the
board backed up by public senti.
ment, which, pardon our vanity
has in a large measure been
crystalized by the influence of
the Enterprise, those obstacles
have been brushed aside and j,
looks now like smooth sailing.
Let us hope SO.

A Letter To The Voters of
jefferson County

|
The undersigned has been a
resident of our county for over
tortysiX years. and the largest
portion of that time has been
spent in this county and in the
practice of the law. My life
here is an open book to you, and
likely you know me better than
| know myself.
Some years ago | was elected
county Judge of this county by
very large majority through the
favor of my many friends of all
political parties and, at the eX-
piration of the term, reelected
by a handsome majority. and a
gain this fall, without any soil
citation or effort on my part,
have been renominated to sue
coed myself.
Believing that the judicial
branch of our government should
be as free from any political in
ilucnce as possible, | have stead.
tasty endeavored to the best O
my ability in the administrator
Of the Office to close the door Oh
the court upon all political meth
DDS. Litigants before the court
should have a square deal, un.
hampered by politics, and in my
opinion any court that does not
so act will not have the conf
dence of the people.
To the duties of the office |
have given my personal atlen-
ton, and | feel that the records
of the court will compare favor
ably with the records of any
other court in the state. Official
examiners have informed me
that our county court records are
second to none. The courts
business has increased and a sur
plus has been each year turned
over by me to the county treas
ury. The largest portion of the
business of the court is probating
estates. | have felt it to be one
OF the chief duties of the county
Judge to safeguard the estates of
deceased persons, minors and
mental Incompetent and protect
them from the designing and
rapacious, and ! may say that in
inns many times 1t has required a
firm hand and called for the cx-
ercIsc of the soundest Judgment.
II you have found that | have
been faithful to the trust that
you rcposed in me, | now most
respectfully solicit your votes a
gam Tor reelection to the office of
county Judge.

The evidence OF approaching sunshine was

"BOASTFUL IGNORANCE
THEME OF HEALTH TALK
Transmission of Disease by Germs Def.
initely Proved, Says Doctor Dixon

HARRISBURG, Oct. 9.-"Boastfui Ig-
norance" is the theme OF State Health Com
missioner Dixon in his little talk" on
health and hygiene today. He says:
The boastfuness Of ignorance is ordi-
narlly not worthy of comment. but when II
jeoparts the health OF other persons II Is
perhaps worth while to take up the
cudgels.
There is a class Of individuals who jeer
at all warnings regarding matters OF hy-
giene. Statistics, however. show that these
persons who violate the laws Of Nature
often meet an untimey death Unfor-
tunately, some give an ear to such foolish
boasting and run headlong into danger.
The transmission Of disease by germs Is
most frequently attacked by the ignorant
Those persons who accept without comment
the statement that the world revolves upon
its axis as a part of the solar system. and
thousands of other things which they are
incompetent to work out themselves, will
buster about the absurdity of germs caus-
ing disease. That typhoid fever. diph-
iberia, yellow fever, tuberculosis, anthrax
malaria and pneumonia are caused by
germs has been proved as definitely as the
fact that the world is round"
