ROAD CAMPAIGN CALLS FOR
SURVEY OF GRAVEL DEPOSITS

The State Highway Department has
inaugurated a prgram of highway i'm
provements, calling for the expendi.
ture of approximately $4,000, 900 with.
in the next few years. And it is recog.
nized that this is only beginning. In
discussing the matter, o. V. Adams
testing engineer at the Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, says:
''ln view of the great milage of oul
roads, and the heavy traffic, both local
and tourist, which they must carry
it is certainly imperative that the
best possible materials be used in their
construction True, there are large
quantities of materials in almost every
section of the state, but in many cases
the nature and extent Of these de-
posits is not known.
MANY eastern states are at the
present time engaged in survey of
their deposits of road materials. Such
a survey in Colorado would certainly
result IN a large saving to the people
and a higher class of construction on
our highways.
AN appropriation for this purpose
should be made by our legislators, but
this would not be available. Locali-
ties lying on our main highways where
surfacing is to be done, should take
steps for doing some of this work in
1920, thus making results available
one year earlier"

are a follow.
On the driveway after stock

such plants as death Camas and lark

cat the only other remaining plants,

The moral from these observations
is obvious. First the stock owner
should learn to recognize poisonous
plants on the areas grazcd by his
stock, and. second: care should be tax
cn not to allow hungry animals to
Craze on areas infested with poison
Gus plants.

"BUSHwA"

Montrose Enterprise
The "Bushwa" season is now upon
US and will continue with increasing
ferocity until the polls close next Nov
ember in the presidential election.
Our Republican friends seem to
have gotten the first start in this
direction. At any rate, Governor
Sprout, of Penn, in attempting to
produce keynote for the next presi-
dental campaign from G. o. p.
standpoint in the National Republican
committee meeting among other
things, announced the "Restoration of
Americanism and Constitutional gov
ernment," as one of the missions
which will devolve upon the said Re-
publican party during the next few
years.
The inference from this is that und-
or the present Administration Amerj-
canism and constitutional government
has IN some way gotten lost in the
shuttle. And we suppose this is a
sample of the bunk which the G.. O.
7. spellbinders will attempt to peddle
during the next campaign.
"The restoration of Americanism
and constitutional government" Bosh!

man with higher grade of true
Americanism than Woodrow Wilson,
the man who now sits in the White
House, and they cannot show US in
their long list of presidents-and they
have given US some good ones-one
who has given our country a greater
administration against greater odds
than this same Woodrow Wilson.
Any political spellbinder, of whatever
stripe he may be, who attempts to in
sinuate that America has lost any of
its Americanism or constitutional gov
ernment, or any of its glory under the
leadership Of President Wilson, is
talking thru large sized hole in his
headgear. Such statements are SIM
ply political hog-wash and reflect more
on the fellow who makes them than
on the fellow against whom the in
situations are made.
The Republicans are past masters
at claiming for themselves and their
party monopoly Of Americanism,
patriotism and the other isms which
are supposed to go into the makeup
of America.
If the Republican have got anything
in the way of logical, sensible argu-
ment against the Democratic adminis-
tration, let them trot it out. The
American people will give it due con-
sideration and don't let them think
that they can pull this kind Of hun
combe and get away with it.

The answer 10 our second question
proposed IN our second lesson-How
Is our government organized TO do
these things, which. as a government,
we believe il ought 10 lois found
in the framework Of our national con-
! stitution.
No citizen of this country can af-
ford TO live uniformed as to the
/ character and structure of that in
strument. When you enter a train,
you resign yourself TO the care and
skill OF the train crew, knowing that
however they propose to get you to
your destination, you can have nothing
TO say to modify their methods. II
you take passage on a steamboat to
go 10 some distant port, you recognize
that you are in the hands Of group
of men whose preparation, selection,
and performance you have had and
cannot have any voice. To run the
train and sail the ship is no part of
your duty.
In the sailing of the ship Of state,
however, the course TO be followed,
the selection Of the officers, the meas
ure Of their Performance OF the duties
assigned to them are all the business
Of every citizen passenger.
II Is not my purpose 10 enter into
an analysis of our constitution. |
wish in each of these lessons to de-
velop one thought of fundamental i'm
portance in citizenship and to arouse il
possible a determination on the part
of those who live under the flag to
study to know what il stands for.
II was not the intention Of the franz
ers of the National Constitution to
create n purely democratic form of
government. nor did the states in its
adoption believe that they were form
ing 4 democracy. IL was fully under
stood that though Il was TO be a
government Of. for, and by the people,
the citizens would function in an in
direct rather than in direct manner;
that there was being formed a repre-
sentative republic.
Without giving a great deal of tho.
to the real distinction between the two
forms of government, the people rec
ognizing their lack of direct partici-
patton in the affairs of state, have
fallen into state of apathy with re-
lation to the very important part they
should play indirectly in the choice of
those upon whom is placed the duty
Of carrying into effect the will of the
people.
II is a recognized principle that a
man may often do greater wrong BY
remaining silent than he might do at
another time by much speaking. This
principle is applicable TO the citizens
who refuse or neglect 10 perform
his duty in the choice of candidates
or the election TO Office. He has done
all that by his silence and inaction he
can do TO undermine our republican
institution.
