UNFAIR CRITICISM

In tn" course Of an interesting dis
QUESTION on Mr. Bryan, part praise and
part criticism. the editor Of the Pueblo
Chieftain observes that he is shallow
minded.
Now the Ncws-Champion didn't
agrrc at all with Mr Bryan's pacihsm
and believes It was the greatest mis-
take Of his public career, but he is
making every effort to atone for that
tremendous error. and 10 call him
shallow minded" is little short Of
ridiculous.
Bryan is a prophet, a "sccr'', in
som" ways, the most long headed
statesman Of our history. Twelve,
sixteen wcHty years ago, he adyocat-
ed mos II the important measures
that ar now being taken By this gov
cnmcnt in the nature of internal re-
form. The proposition Of government
control Of railroads cost him the 1908
election. We have it today. Reserve
banks and bank guarantees are the
children Of his brain. Election Of son
ators by direct vote, and the income
tax, which the opposition dcridcd are
so much 4 part of our -ocial life as to
make it seem impossible they were
planks which helped defeat Bryan in
1900. Ever "lG to /" that lost cause
OF 1896 is almost in sight around the
corner Four years ago he began ad-
vocating national prohibition and ma
tional woman suffrage, which are due
in the immediate future.
No, Bryan made a great mistake
when he assumed that the German gray
wolf could be treated as a Christian
government, but he is not shallow
minded, nor unpatriotic, nor a factor
TO be neglected in the future of Amer
ica.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE DIS
CUSSES NUMBER OF THINGS

4 number of matters were taken
up at the meeting of the Gunnison
County Council of Defense held Tues
day evening.
The question of available farm la
Dor for 1918 was discussed, il appear
ing that comparatively little outside
Of local help will be needed until hay
ing time. Several plans are on foot
TO secure this needed labor, the amount
Of which can be determined when the
figures Of the agricultural survey now
being tabulated, are completed. Many
ranchmen are already advertising in
tie east and gettir2 promises of hay
hands. Tie boys working reserve, by
which all Toys in the county between
l6 and 2 are to lie mobilized. is TO
be organized, beginning the 18th of
this month. Prof ! 7. Bcrkstresser
Of the Normal is to have this in charge
and boys registered will be available
to 90 out and work where needed.
This movement is statewide, so that
from the larger c"nters, like Denver.
quite an army Of young folks will be
ready
The great need Of ships to carry
men and supplies across the Atlantic
was talked over. Quitc a number have
already registered from this county
with J. A. Steele, who has the matter
IN charge, and we will do our share
when called upon.
The seed question was brought up.
and F.. VI Collins who is chairman of
this committee reported great scarcity
Of barley, oats and field pea seed. 1t
is proposed to list every available sup
ply Of seed in the county.
The publicity plans for the Third
Liberty Loan We're outlined, and full
details Of them appear in another
column.
Percy Smith of the forestry depart
mcnt is chairman Of this publicity
committee. A number of public meet
ings are to be arranged for previous
to the drive for funds.
Not much discussion having come
from former articles inquiring wheth-
er a county agent was desirable in this
section, the matter is to be given fur
ther publicity. Geo. l.. Miller, county
commissioner, was present and stated
that he was sure the board would pay
its half toward such an agent If it was
evident the people and particularly
the ranchmen favored the idea. Most
counties in Colorado are hiring such
an agent, the government of the
United States paying half his salary.
and half the expenses, including a

THE SOLDIERS INSURANCE
HAVE YOUR BOY GET 1T

Official reports received from the
State Council of Defense show that at
Camp Funston 80 per cent Of the men
have taken oht war risk insurance;
that at Camp Kearney- 9S.7 per cent
have done SO, and that at Camp Lewis
99.6 per cent have obtained policies.
As most Of Colorado's soldiers are
stationed in these three camps it seems
certain that most Of them have sppli-
ed for the government insurance.
But this probability should be no rea-
son why the campaign to induce all the
men to obtain insurance should be al-
lowed to lag. Every Colorado soldier
should carry the full amount, $4,000.
relatives should still urge the men to
get Il The average amount for which

GETTING READY TO STRAIT
FOR FRANCE SOON
Climate Camp. Feb. -2s, 1918.

Climate Camp, Feb. rs, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Lake:
| finally got away from Texas. Had
fine trip coming thru the states of
Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky.
We stopped at the largest cities and
marched thru the streets. | have seen
nothing that looks as good as dear
old Colorado. We arrived here yes
terday and will be here long enough
for special training and instruction
at our trades.
We are repair squadron bound for
France and our work will be to help
repair the broken aeroplanes, which
will play larger part in the war than
ever, especially when we get about
10000 or more machinists there. We
have had as high as SO in the air at
one time and which is a great sight.
The trouble with lot of the boys is
that they can't swim but they sure
can fly. Yours sincerely,
NORBERT L. SCHAFF.
Climate Camp. Rontoul, Ill.
831st Aero Squadron.
