Governor Calls On Parents To Give
Children Education

The unusually lsw enrollments Of
state colleges and institutions Of
higher education have caused Gov
ernor julius c. Gunter to issue a
proclamation addressed to Colorado
parents, urging them not to be>dis-
couraged by war conditions into
foregoing the education of their
children. Governor Gunter, in his
proclamation, calls attention to the
fact that the great need of the present
is for trained men and women. In
dustrial commercial and civic de
velopment after the war will only
put premium on college training,
says the Governor, and it is the
patriotic duty of parents everywhere
to so educate their children that
during the reconstruction period
which must come those children, on
whom the welfare Of the nation will
depend, may be able to meet the
problems of the future competently,
faithfully and patriotically.

State immigration Board Wants
Exhibits

The Colorado state board of i'm
migration is seeking the cO-Opera-
tion of public spirited farmers, fruit
growers, business men, commercial
secretaries and everybody that can

state to obtain this year small sam

al exhibit in its offises at the state
capitol.
The board began collecting pro-
duets for this exhibit last fall, but
the start was made too late so that
nothing like complete line of pro
duets was obtained. A partial ex-
hibit was installed, but rearrange
ment of quarters in the Capitol
building to provide room for COM
mittees made necessary by the war
resulted in the moving of the i'm
migration board, and the exhibit
cases had to be taken down to be
moved When the exhibits are
again put UP the board hopes to
have them in something like per-
manent form representing all sec
tions OF the state.
|. In most sections OF Colorado crops
are bountiful this year. OF course
farmers are very busy, but there is
no one who could not spare half
an hour to collect few good samples
OF grain, grasses, root crops and
other products. Since the exhibit
is to represent the entire state, only
small displays can be used from any
section, for the board desires to
have all sections represented as
nearly as possible.
Any Colorado farmer who be-
tween this time and September 25th
can find time to collect small ex.
hibit and send it to the Coloado

Gel post will be rendering a service
to the state and to his community
1t will be necessary only to enclose
a card giving the name and address
OF the sender, so that the board
will know where the products were
grown.

Aviators, Don't snes.s!

A recent issue of the American
Magazine contains an account of
Miss Katherine Stinson, the girl av-
lator, from whose school in San
tors now flying in Europe were
graduated. Miss Stinson herself
has performed some OF the most
difficult aerial feats.
When ask if she was ever afraid
OF falling, she replied that sneezing
was the only thing she feared. She
declared that ninetenths af the &C.
cidents in the air are caused by
aviators losing control of their Ina
chimes by sneezing.
'The aviator" she said, passes
thru numerous strata of air of
different temperatures. He often
sneezes violently. When you sneeze
you lose all control of yourself for
the moment, and If you don't
catch yourself quickly it is prob.
able that your friends will gather
up your remains"

People Speak Well Of Chamberlain's
Tables.

Il have been selling Chamberlain's g
Tablets for about two years and
heard such good reports from my
customers that I concluded to give
them trial myself, and can say
that I do not believe there is an
other preparation Of the kind equal
to them," writes g. A. McBridge,
Headford, Ont. If you are troubled
with indigestion or constipation

"coneription OF Thought.

The issue raised by the sOcalled
Peoples Council of right to as
selnble and utter their thoughts,
such as they are, has been raised
Thousand times in the course OF
human history. Always when men
have considered the issue in cold
blood and with clear mind they
have decided it In the affirmative
The world has gone forward pOliti-
cally because of such Affirmative OF
the right of assembly, free thought
and the right of expression.
Yet the issue has been decided
intellectually thousand times and
always in the affirmative, it is revi-
we'd as if it were something wholly
new whenever times become critical.
Then suppression of thought and
speech is advocated in fiery speech
by those who represent the ma
jority. John Dewey notes in the
New Republic that the most strik-
ing effect up to the present" OF war
conditions has been morbid
sensitiveness at any exhibition OF
diversity of opinion. We want
union and solidarity and cohesion.
We recognize the salutariness of
freedom of assembly and speech
but not at home. 1t is salutary
only among the enemy. Germans
should be permitted, to be sure, to
denOunce the Kaiser and all his
work, and especially should Ger
mans be free to urge peace and
press peace demands upon their
government.
When the tension is over we will
come back to recognition of the fun
damental Importance of the right to
assemble, the right of remonstrance
and the right of free speach. 1t
was so after the long conflict over
slavery. After the war for so years
we made hero OF Wendell Phillips
and q hero of VIM. Lloyd Garrison
School boys were brought up to ad-
mire these stiff necked objectors
and demonstrators OF former time
and they stood with us as personi-
flying an epoch and tremendous
principle. But they were just as
unpopular during the slavery con-
fiict, in New England and Illinois,
as are Peoples Council objectors
now. If now we do not stand for
the right of assembly and remon-
STRANGE, because we did not, after
all, take in the lesson of Phillips
and Garrison and Lovejoy-t the
last name murdered for free speech
The Holly chieftain., 1917-09-14

the trouble probably is that the
lesson was wrongly taught in the
schools, and the school boys got
the notion that Lovely was mar
tyr and Garrison and Phillips were
heroes, not because they stood for
the right to be heard, but because
their opinions happened to be cor
rect. That has nothing to do with
the issue.lTopeka Capital.
