SIX-WEEk REVIVAL
MEETING PLANNED

and Public "COmfOrt Station

V. o. Alexander and General Secre-
tary E. NJ. Goodwin, voting delegates
from the Pine Bluff Y. M. G.. A. to the
thirty-ninth international convention
of the associations of the world, held
recently at Cleveland, made verbal
report last evening of the convention,
at the weekly Fellowship luncheon
at the association building, to an UNI
usually large attendance.
Roth speakers waxed most enthusi-
astic over the scenes and incidents OF
the convention, dilating upon the
band of So pieces and the glee club
of so voices; the visit in special
train to Collinwood, where a shop
meeting was held to 1000 employees of
the New York Central lines and
where the entire monster delegation
was fed in rs minutes; and the prom
inent men who made speeches at the
convention, among them Robt. E.
Speers of New York, Rev. Geo. Ad
ans, who has just returned from the
allies trenches on the WarfielGs in
Europe and who told what the Y. M.
G. A. is doing for the soldiers; Rev.
Oscar Mckenzie, of the Hartford The.
illogical seminary, and others.
Following the luncheon, there was
discussion over the proposal to hold
a six-week revival service here, in a
tabernacle, with a widely-known
evangelist in charge. Owing to the
absence from the city of many of the
pastors, nothing definite could be
done, but the laymen present last ev
ening were unanimous of the opin-
ion that the plans for the revival
should be carried out. The pastors
are to be seen by the religious work
committee of the association, and if
they will cooperate in the move
ment, the details will be perfected,
and the revival will be held during
the fall.
Board Has Session.
After this conference, there was al
meeting of the board of trustees of
the association, and the routine re-
ports were received and considered,
these showing the financial condition
of the association to be most salts

Important matters were decided
favorably by the board, as result

to the international convention. A
committee, with V. o. Alexander as
chairman, was named to look into
the matter of obtaining trained
boys work secretary, who will work,
not only among the boys who are en-
rolled as members of the association,
but also among the boys of the city.
This work is conceded to be the fOun-
dation for the future growth and sue

proper financial arrangements can be
completed, the local association will
have such officer within short
time.

1t is said one Of the most pitiable
forms of ignorance is the failure TO
see and comprehend the distinguish
ing spirit of our own age. Plainly,
the distinguishing spirit of our age
is the awakening of the social con-
sciousness; the coming to life of the
sense of fellowship, of cooperation,
of the interdependence Of us upon
each other, of the right of all to an
equal chance.
All our efforts, if they do no. re-
suit in action, are futile. Let rs
get at the heart of the matter and
learn how to ge the most from our
efforts. Let us study the topics that
are offered us then in the course that
is outlined in the Civic club for the

JULEsBuRG TO DURANGO.

San Luis valley and the San Juan

pletion of the state highway via South
Fork, which will allow them to flow
together, and their peoples mingles
as one. The road will be finished
early in the summer. The whole
state should celebrate. 1t will mean
the striking down cf barrier which
all too long has been allowed to keep
the rich San Juan country walled off
to itself and uncertain whether to
trade with the Pacific coast or the
big commonwealth of which it is a
part. Incidentally, too, it will mark
an important epoch in the growing
tendency to open roads everywhere
in the state to motorists. 1t long
has been the dream of our state
highway builders to afford the trav-
elers road leading diagonally across
the state from Julesburg to Duran
go. With the completion of the South
Fork road such a route will have been
finished. With the building of the
road out of Denver via Bailcys to
Buena Vista, this majestic way will
be virtually "as crow flies" Sue

gle exception. That exception was in
1904, when Theodore Roosevelt was
candidate for president for the first
time after three years of notable SER
vice at the White house.
1t was the commanding personality
of President Roosevelt that brought
Colorado over to the Republican par
ty and weaned it from the "isms"
and its false gods and gave it back
its standing among the sisterhood of
states.
If Theodore Roosevelt is nominal
ed this year the concensus of opinion
among friends and opponents is that
he will repeat his victory of 1904 and
take Colorado's electrol vote to the
party that nominates him.
If the rank and file of the party
could be consulted in advance, there
is not question of a doubt where it
would stand at this hour. Colonel
Roosevelt has appealed to the west
ever since he appeared figure in the
national horizon, and never more so
than now He is of the west and un-
derstands the west, and bond of fel-
| lowship exists between him and this
region than can never be sundered.
1t would be graceful thing for
the Republican state and district con-
ventions, which begin their session u
week hence in the state, to instruct
wholohartedly for Roosevelt and send
an unquestionable delegation to the
national convention. 1t would be a
wise thing to do from a purely poll
teal strategical viewpoint. 1t would
be a patriotic stand to take. 1t
would advance Colorado in the eyes
of the world.
Every day adds to the stature OF
Roosevelt. The epochal events taking
place at Washington at this writing
are added testimony to his prescien-
ce as a national leader. He forteoid
and warned his countrymen of wha.
was coming as result of an indie
cisive international policy from the
present administration. He is one OF
the few men in our public life whc
had a true grip of the problems and
emergencies arising from the world,
war. Roosevelt has been the one fig
ure from the political field who ir
speech and writing has had the cour-
age to tell unpalatable truths ant
search the very soul of the nation fol
r its weaknesses, as a duty he oweo
, to the people. With characteristic
vigor he launched out against the in
ternal enemies of the country and
preached single standard. patriot
ism of AMERICA FIRST AND NO
SECOND.
Already Colonel Roosevelt has made
the platform for the Republican par
ty. He has forced to the front the
issue of national preparedness for
national defense. He has pierced the
papiermache armor of the pacifists
and has instinctively reached for the
weak spots in the present administra-
tion and placed the opposition party
on the defensive where it sought to
be on the offensive. His record as
chief executive of the nation demon
strated beyond cavil that, instead of
his being fire eater, he is at heart
a peace lover and was instrumental
in restoring peace to other nations
and saving his own country from war
and dishonor.
The Republican party without
Roosevelt would be the party of op-
portunism. The campaign preceding
the national convention is proving
this every day. No issue has been

Talk Given By Mrs. Milton
Kaufman Before the Civic CT

hduIIU DeIOre the SIN1c SluD.
From time to time | am asked, witt
rising infection which we are com
ing to resent-"Well, what has the
Civic club done?"
1t is impossible to have read the
article written by Mrs. Egan last
week, and published in the Herald
without feeling that the Civic clut
has been real force and influence
for good in our community.
Aside from these material accom-.
rlishments, we have done what, tc
my mind, counts for even more. We
have awakened spirit of commun.
ity realization, and have nursed il
and have watched it grow for six
long weary years. At last this re-
aliaztion has grown big enough, as
evidenced by the enterprising spirit
of the Durango Exchange, the pro-
gressive attitude of the smelter, and
the wide awakeness of the Motor
club for an active self-expression.
Time was when "town improve
ment" meant the giving of drink
ing fountain or some similar material
offering, which was, we must con-
fess, nothing more after all than a
form of public charity. Now we want
to stand for something beyond that
We want not only community re-
'.iiZation, but we want to develop a
fivic consciousness, back of which
must lie the principle of constructive
philanthrophy.
One of the best ways of making
application of this constructive phil
anthropy is to have and to show a
spirit of cooperation, never of Conn
petition. The spirit to help every
other individual, be he man, woman
or child. to bring forth his best eff
forts.
Each individual in this town must
realize that he is helping to consti
tute the community. He or she must
do his part. She who declines to

share toward the municipal house
