Observers Only

The fact that President Harding is to
nave personal representatives at the
meetings of the Supreme council, the
conference of ambassadors and the re-
paTatlons commission need cause no con-
Germ to those who are insistent that the
United States shall not become entangled
In European politics. The gentlemen
selected will act as observers, and their
function will be confined to keeping the
President Informed of the progress of
events IN Europe. The information re-
ceived at the White House direct from
American representatives, whose obSer-
vatlonS of the proceedings will be from
the standpoint of American welfare
Will be of far greater value than news
reports received from miscellaneous
sources of dubious veracity. The Pres
ldent will be called upon many times in
the future to dispatch notes to the count
rles of Europe on one subject or another.
Ii he has at command complete and
authoritative data of what has transpired
at the meetings now being held, he will
be far better able to protect American
welfare from those who may seek to
asSail it.
"The resumption of unofficial relations
with the council imports no obligations
other than an earnest of desire to be
helpful IN solving the vast problems
with which the allies are confronted.
Mr.. Harding could have given no better
assurance of his unyieIding determination
to preserve the free action of the United
States than by his selection of the man
who will take part as the representative of
the President of the United States in the
deliberations of the supreme council,
namely, George Harvey, one of the most
redoubtable lrreconcilables III opposition
to the league of nations.
| The situation is SO involved that our
peace engagements can not ignore the
| Old World relationship and the settle
mentS already effected, nor is it desira BILE
! to do so in preserving our own rights
and contracting our future relationships.
| The WearinesS at home and the dlsap-
pointment of the world have been COM
pensated in the proof that this republic
Will surrender none OF It's heritage OF
nationality, but our rights In international
| relationships have to be asserted they
require establishment in compacts OF
amty; our part in readjus tment and re-
storation can not be ignored, and must
| be defined. With the Supe rgoVernlne
| league definitely rejected and with the
world so Informed, and with the status
of peace proclaimed at home, we may
proceed to negotiate the Covenanted re-
lationships so essential to the recog-
milton of all the rights everywhere of our
own nation and play our full part III
joining the peoples of the world in the
pursuits of peace once more. We can
be helpful because we are moved by nc
hatreds and harbor no fears. helpful
ness does not mean ENHANCEMENT, and
participation in economic adjustments
does not mean sponsorship for treaty
commitments which do not concern us.

Chapter ZIG Public Laws
An Act Prohibiting Public Games and
Amusements on Memorial Day

Whereas there is grave danger that
Memorial Day through thoughtlessness is
tending gradually to lose it's tender signi-
fcance and solemn impressiveness as day
devoted to the memory of those heroes,
men who dared and suffered when the life
OF the nation was at stake, most of whom
now lie sleeping, the battle done, on the
quiet hillsides of the State they loved
and served so well; and
Whereas the proper observance of
Memorial Day is not alone demanded to
those men by our debt of gratitude to
those men which we never can repay,
but is conducive to the thrill and every
essence of patriotism which is in the
heart of every true American, conscious
of his rich heritage; and
whereas Legislation to secure the prop
er observance of Memorial Day is there
fore Immediately necessary for the pres
ervation of the public peace, health and
safety, now therefore
Sec. l. Whoever on Memorial Day en-
cages in any public outdoor game or sport
where an admission is charged or collec-
ton taken, shall be punished by fine
not exceeding twenty-five dollars or i'm
prlsonment, not exceeding ten days or by
both line and Imprisonment. Judges of
municipal and police courts and trial JUS
tices shall have jurisdiction of all of
lenses under the act.

COAL PRICES MUST COME DOWN

Coal producers who are berating the
public for not loading up now with coal
for next winter at war initiation prices
might as we'll save their breath. At a
time when steel plants, textile mills,
railroads, express companies and other
industries are readiusting war imitation
wages, cutting war initiation production
costs and lowering war Initiation prices
the coal trade cannot expect to stay up
in the war initiation clouds and get away
with it.
What the coal business needs to do to
sell its coal is to offer its product to the
public at right price, like any other
manufacturer or dealer. If it does not do
that the coal trade is not going to sell its
coal 1t is Of no use to tell the public
that unless 1T buys its coal now at the
excessive prices demanded for it the pub
lie next winter viii! freeze to death at
still higher prices. The public is not 60
ing to buy the coal at these excessive
prices and the public is not going to
freeze to death
The time has come for plain speaking
to the coal producers who think they can
sit tight on war initiation wages, war IN
tlatlon production costs and war imitation
prices to the public when everything
must be readjusted. Either they must
act to bring about the economic read
justment which is imperative In their
business as in every other business
either they must thus provide the cheaper
coal, or Federal, State and local govern
ments, backed by all the power that is In
the American people, will 60 on that Job

SPEECH SOME ZINES TOO FREE

"Socialists have always contended for
the right of free speech in the class
rooms of our colleges and universities.
They have demanded this right for the
proponents of their particular economic
ideas. notwithstanding the universities
and colleges are chiefly supported by the
people of different principles. They
have claimed the right to teach socialism
through the use of funds contributed
chiefly by non-socialists although they
would not, if conditions were reversed,
permit the teaching of indivdualism in
schools maintained by the funds of So
cialists.
Nowhere in ,Bolshevik Russia today
can any man with safety to his person or
property attempt to teach the principles
of American representative government.
Nevertheless, almost anywhere in the
United States men are able to teach the
doctrines espoused by the bolshevik re-
glme in Russia not only with personal
safety but with the aid and encourage
ment of men holding positions under the
Government.
''The situation is an amazing and de-
plorable one. 1t is to be hoped that some
effective measures for the rectiication of
conditions may result from the wide
spread attention that has been aroused
by the resignation of the college presi-
dent at Valparaiso, Indiana"

Harold W. Bishop of Boothbay Har Dor
was surprised the other day when he was
told by the local telephone operator that
he had phone call from Cuba and even
more so when in few minutes he was
talking with his brother, Major Percy G.
Bishop, in Havana. The latter is in the
sugar business in Cuba and being in Hav-
ana on business and thinking of home
and the new telephone cable to the
states recently completed, decided on the
instant to try it. The communication
was as clear as though but a few miles

BLAUvELT TO MARK EVERY
HIGHWAY WITH SIGNS

Montrose Press:--
Acting on the authority given him
by the highway law, Major Louis ID.
Blauvelt, state highway engineer, is
preparing accurately to mark every
state highway in Colorado. A few
trips over highways since he assumed
command Of the department have
convinced him Of the necessity Of road
signs giving accurate information re-
gsrding directions and distances.
II believe road signs are necessary,
especially at cross roads," said Major
Blauvelt recently. "The signs should
contain all the Information necessary
for . traveller to reach any point with
out running the danger Of getting on
the wrong road. Every highway in
TIE state should be marked" Major
Blauvelt will gather information re-
garding the best design for road signs
costs, etc, before he begins placing the
signs. The suggestion has been made
that the work Of placing the signs be
put in charge Of the seven members

WILL DE THREE EAST
AND WEST ROADS ACROSS
COLORADO MOUNTAINS

In public meeting at Grand juno
ton last Friday night, VIM. Weiser,
member of the Highway Board of
Commissioners from this district, said
among other things that the intention
of Governor Shoup is that there shall
be constructed three highways across
the state from east to west and three
from north to south; that all second
AIRY roads shall be constructed SO as
to act as feeders to these main high
ways, that no routes had been selected
for these cross-state roads; that it
was his opinion that at least two of
these roads would converge at Grand
Junction with that city the entering
point from the west and Denver from
the east; that neither of the states
would expend money on the Midland
trail west over the desert and that a
new route must be chosen toward
Salt Lake before the states would be
willing to assist materially in the
work Of making a permanent highway.

MONTROsE MAN
CATCHES BIG FISH

Montrose Press
Deputy District Attorney r. f.
Waldo caught the biggest trout so
far reported, at the opening of the
1921 season. It weighed five pounds
dressed five hours after being caught
and doubtless weighed six or seven
pounds when first caught. 1t was of
the Loch Levan variety, one of the
gamiest fish to land.
Mr.. Waldo caught the fish about a
mile below lola in the Gunnison. He
says he crawled thru the brush and
along the beaver dam for mile or
SO, and came to an open meadow a
mile above the Loch Leven dams and
caught the fine specimen with sucker
meat,
