{ Under the virile management of the

umn Of free advertising from the Gun
nison Empire, by merely crool.ing a
finger ut the editor. Now in these
degenerate days Of the Aforesaid
sheet, after poking the Bolshewhisker
editor for three weeks, we only draw
third Of column and this in as
dull and osaified stuff as his news
matter. That isn't worth while, for
with double the circulation it stands
to reason that News Champion adver-
tising Of the Empire is worth just
double the space in return.
The best we secure is that News

The Gunnison Republican is your

DEATH OF HUGH FREw
IS NOW CONFIRMED
Makes Ten Geld Starr n Laurel
Crswn sf werA War fer This Cea-
nunity.

The death Of Hugh Frew occurred
August 5th. He was killed in action
ON that date. altho officially reported
to the relatives ~ missing" on Aug
ust 9th.
This information was conveyed TO
4rs. Carey PArteh, sister Of Mr.. Frew
in . wire from Waahington Saturday.
Nothing else IL known as to how Hugh
met his death, but II is believed the
Red Cross may be able to solve the
mystery. Possibly later government
reports established the fact that some
comrades had seen him killed on the
day before he failed to answer at roll
Hugh Frew and his brother John
left Gunnison on Wednesday, October
B, 1917, in company with several 9TH
er Gunnison County boys, for q train
ing camp. For a time both the Frew
boys were in Co. G, 18th Inf. at
Camp Kearney, California. 1t was
some time in June that they were sent
to France. From there Gunnison de-
latives received cards from them to
the effect that they had landed safe
ly, which was the only word the home
folks ever had from Hugh after his
arrival overseas. Hugh, on his land
ing on the other side, was transferred
to Co. ID, 163rd Inf. Another brother,
David Frew. is also in the service,
having enlisted in the regulars in
1918, and is now in Germany with the
10Th F. A. John is expected home any
time.
Hugh was but % years of age at
the time he answered. his country's
call, one Of Gunnison county's splen-
did young men, having been born at
Baldwin and raised in our midst. An
other brother, J. 3. Frew, and q sis
ter. Mrs. T. Y. Miller, also survive.

The war against military autocra-
cy has been won because the great
free nations acted together and its
results will be secured only IL they
continue to act together. The forces
making for autocratic rule on the one
hand and for violence or bolshevism
on the the other are still at work. In
fifty years the small state Of Prussia
SO organized central Europe as to de-
fy the world. In the present disorran-
lied state of central and eastern Eur
ope that can be done again on n still
larger scale and menace all free in
stitutions.
"The death of millions of men and
the destruction and debt in another
worid-war would turn civilization
backward for generations. In such a
war We shall certainly be involved and
our best young men will be sacrificed
rs the French and English have been
sacrificed in. the last four. years.
"Such a catastrophe can be prevent
ed only by reconstruction of the small
states now seeking self-government on
the basis Of freedom and justice, but
this is impossible without a league,
for, divided, its members are not
strong enough for the task. Should
the victorious nations fail to form a
league, German imperialists would
have q clearer field for their designs.
"By the abundance of its natural
resources, by the number, intelligence
and character of its people, the United
States has. become a world power. II
cannot avoid the risks and must as
sumo the responsibilities Of its posi-
tion. 1t cannot stand aloof, but must
face boldly the facts of the day with
confidence in itself and in its future
among the great nations OF the earth.
"United as never before, 'our people
have fought this war. United and
above party, we must consider the
problems of peace, resolved that, SO
far as in US lies, war shall no more
scourge mankind.
The covenant reported to the Paris
conference has come since the last
election and. the people have had no
chance to pass judgment upon it. In
this journey from coast to coast we
have looked into the faces Of more
than 100000 typical Americans and
believe that the great majority Of our
countrymen desire. to take part in
such league n 10 proposed in that
citizens, therefore, TO study earnestly
this question and express their opin-
ions with . voice 80 clear and strong
that our representatives in congress
may know that the people -of the
United States are determined 70 ~
sumo their part in this crisis Of hu-
man history.

SPLENDID SUGGESTIONS POURING IN FOR SOLDIERS AND

The idea of a soldiers and SAIL

The idea of a soldiers and sail
ors' Memorial for the county is find
ing almost universal favor. Every
one is interested, and this is not SO
surprising when one considers that
the list of Gunnison county boys in
service now reaches pretty close
to $50 names. and that their families
and friends include pretty much all
the citizens Of the county.
Acting upon the suggestion Of the

citizens have written the News-Cham

tions ~ to appropriate memorials.
Others have informed US that they
intend to present their views next
week. This paper would especially
like to hear from residents Of places
outside the city-Marble, Somerset,
Crested Butte, Pitkin, etc. This must

JUDGE STONE OUTLINES PLAN
PIPE ORGAN FOR AUDITORIUM

To Committee on Soldiers Memorial:
1t seems TO be the unanimous opin-
ion Of the people of Gunison, express
ed thru the Chamber of Commerce.
the Stockgrowers Association, and
otherwise, that . suitable memorial
for the brave men Of Gunnison Coun-
ty who have given their lives in the
struggle for Democracy and in com.
memoration Of the Gunnison County
men who answered the call to the
colors be obtained. The committee
Of the Chamber Of Commerce has
asked for suggestions for an appro-
pirate memorial.
1t i my suggestion that the peo-
pie Of Gunnison County purchase q
pipe organ for the new Normal and
High School auditorium which will be
constructed this summer. On this
pipe organ should be placed Q tablet
bearing the names Of the men who
have made supreme sacrifice, and an
other tablet bearing the names Of all
those Gunnison County men who
served their country during the world
struggle. These tablets should be 20
constructed, arranged, and illuminated
that the names could be easily read.
This proposed auditorium will be
one OF the finest ON the Western Slope.
Primarily, it il for the use of the
young people whom we are educating
and who are to be our future citizens,
but no doubt, this fine meeting place
will be used for community meetings
Of the people Of the city and county
Of Gunnison. The people Of this COM
munity are much in need Of q good
auditorium, and, II the state and coun-
ty schools provide such = building,
why should not the people furnish
the organ, and by the same act erect
. fitting memorial to our soldier boys.
A pipe organ for q public meeting
house is being suggested in many
places as . memorial to the soldiers.
The world loves music, and the world
win always idolize the brave men who
fought for humanity in the great
struggle which has 30 recently come
to m end. Under the spell Of music,

His Signature Today.

The different Good Roadssbills arc
now occupying . great deal Of time
in the legislature, particularly the
twenty million dollar bond issue which
appears to be q pretty heavy dose. Il
is true that Colorado wants to keep
even with her sister states, nearly
all Of which are planning on exten:
sive road building programs. We must
n this to hold our share of the tour
Sst trade, to secure our proportion Of
the government road money and to
keep idle men employed during the
war .1apnstrAction feriod. but the
trouble is that it will be at least two
years before money voted by this
bond issue could be available, and the
reconstruction period and unemploy-
ment may then be over. Besides the
money is needed right now to match
government funds. Consequently
there seems A. general disposition
TO cut the bond issue to ten million
and raise more money right away
by taxation. This will probably be
done in two ways, First, by . tax Of q
cent q gallon on gasoline, and second,
by doubling the Inheritance tax Of
Colorado and devoting the second
half Of the receipts to a road fund.
This will give almost two million q
year Immediately available for new
work SO that money from the present
half mill road levy can be used for
maintenance.
The president of the senate Monday
appointed q special committee, COM
prising Senators Hattenbach, Tobin,
Peterson and Andrew, to act with a
special committee Of the house in an
advisory capacity relative to the nine

relating TO the raising Of road reven-
ues and the construction of public

The first step toward municipal

Gentlemen:
My idea Of suitable memorial to
commemorate the services Of our boys
in the great war il to have something
Of practical value and use rather than
. symbolic statue Of marble, an arch,
gateway, or any other handsome but
useless work Of art.
The suggestion l make may seem
at first glance beyond our reach fin
ancially, but it need not mean the ex-
penditure Of q great deal after all.
A. PUBLIC LIBRARY located some
where IN the down town section is
the suggestion. Arrangements could
surely be made with the Normal for
exchange Of books from their collec-
tion. The erection of building would
be unnecessary, II the Town Fathers
would allot . corner Of their pres
ent quarters, or Of future quarters
they may erect for the Town Hall.
This arrangement would help solve
