.M|llIKEN PROTECTS
THE TAXPAYER

The state of Colorado never had q
harder working, more efficient secre.
tary of state than Carl s. Milliken,
who is the Republican nominee for re-
election.
The voter hears much about the
governor of state, but it is not very
often that he gets an insight into the
policies and work of other officials
However, court case has pointed out
how valuable Mr.. Milliken is to tax
payers in his present office.
On April Is, 1921, Mr.. Milliken GUST
ed eight motor vehicle inspectors after
the legislature had abolished the Of
fices and created in their place deputy
motor vehicle supervisors. These eight
discharged employees, who had been ap-
pointed by James holland Mr.. Milli-
kcn's predecessor and present Demo-
cratic nominee for secretary of state,
went into court and attempted to get
a writ of mandamus to force reinstate.
ment under the civil service amend
ment to the state Constitution. But
Judge Moore Of Denver, last Saturday,
upheld Mr.. MilEken's action. And
Mr. Millikcn won his case not only
because of the legislatures act in
abolishing tho office of motor vehicle
inspector, but because
~. He justified his action by
showing to the court that he has saved
the state the salaries which would
have been paid to tho inspectors
through commercial adjustment Of
work within his office and by pro-
curing the assistance of VOLUNTEER
inspectors. r

If Elected Governor, Sweet Will
Invite Bo|shevist, Foster
to Our State
IS FOR syNDIcAL|sM

The following open letter to William
E. Sweet was issued last week by
George II. Shaw, Republican state
chairman:
Dear Mr.. Sweet:
AS l mentioned in a previous letter
to you, in a recent speech you were
quoted as saying that if elected gov
ernor you would invite William z. Fos-
ter, bolshevist agent recently ev.cted
from Colorado by the rangers, to come
TO this state and deliver speeches. Be-
cause you have not denied it, take it
tor granted that this statement is ac.
curate.
DO you know that during the investi.
CATION Of the steel strike by senate
committee, Senator Mcclellan Of Ten
nessee read the following extracts
from book written by Foster:
''The syndicalst is race suicider.
He knows that children are detriment
to him in his daily struggle"
"The syndicalist is INSCRIPTIONS in
his choice of weapon. He allows no
consideration of LEGALITY, PATRl-
OTISM, HONOR, DUTY or RELI-
GION to stand in the way of his adop-
ton of effective tactics.'
ga large part of the syndicalists'
success in their strikes is due to their
ENERGETIC TREATMENT of the
strlkebreaker. According to syndical-
ists' ethics a pove .y-stricken work
man may beg, steal, Lerrow, starve or
commit sui,.de and still retain the
f. eLdship anl ts.ee;n of his fe low
workers, biz 1T him take tie place o.
striker AMI he immediately outlaws
himself. He becomes so much vermin
to be RUTHLESSLY ELIMINATED. )"
EVERY great strike is accompanied
by violence. The syndfcalist knows
that the general strike will be a sue
cess, and the timid fears of his oppo-
nents will never turn him away from
it any more than will the arguments
that it is an illegal, unfair and unciv-
ilized weapon"
All the foregoing are extracts from
book entitled "Syndicalism, writ
ten and published by William z. Fos-
ter. After reading the extracts, Sena-
tor McKellar asked Foster whether he
was syndicalast and whether he be-
lieved in the syndicalist doctrines
stated in his book. Foster replied that
he did.
These are the opinions Of the man
whom you would invite to make Colo
RADIO his playground, Mr.. Sweet.
Do you not believe that such an in
v;tatson would not only tend toward
promoting strife in Colorado but would
be an insult to all patriotic and right.

Will be appreciated, Mr.. Sweet.

the valiant services which the "boyso
who fought on foreign battlefields rem
dered flag and country. They can
vote to keep such clean, gallant young
men as Mr.. Milllken when fitness for
the Office sought has been clearly

his excellent war record, points out

AIMS OF THE
KINDERGARTEN

The following is the substance of
the remarks made by Miss Evaline
Hollister, kindergarten teacher, at the
last meeting of the Parent Teachers
association. This is the first year
GlenwoOd has had kindergarten in
the schools, but its value is being fully
recognized by the parents whose chill.
dren are under Miss Hollister' g capable
supervision and leadership. Later the
minimum standards and daily program
of the work that is being done will be
explained by Miss Hollister:
Nowhere in the life of the child is
there a period of greater interest and
more Importance than the years from
three to seven. 1t is time when the
child s mind s open to all that is
good and all that is bad-the time
when Impressions are easily made and
habits and adjustments are acquired
which last a lifetime.
What, then, should we do for the
child that these years may yield the
most! What are our aims2
First, we must consider the physical
welfare. 1t is needless to say we
should have sunny, well heated and
well ventilated room, and one which
is not overcrowded
rot, .s.i.
be the kind which call into play the
large fundamental muscles which nat
urally develop at this period-such
equipment as large floor block, large
balls, etc. The evil effects of fine
work at this age have long been rec.
ognized.
Second, the intellectual which is for
power and knowledge. The child's ex.
periences must be of the right sort
real live interests. There must be first
hand experiences and plenty of them
making garden, visiting places of in.
terest in the community, churning, ma
king jelly, etc.
Third, self control. No one will dc.
ny that authority has its place in the
kindergarten as elsewhere. There are
times when the teacher must step in
and command, but the child can be
led to recognize this as a necessary
thing for his own good; he can see it
as the superior wisdom of the teacher
and not her autocrat'c control.
There is some thing called "gve
and take" which comes only with as.
ISOLATION fothero of the same age and
development. Here tho real lessons
Of life are leared. Leadership asserts
itself-then again the same child must
become follower and yield some per.
sonal desire for the good of the group.

minutes after the suicide was found,
Broadway had become mentally un-
balanced worrying over family diff

from his wife She now resides in

large pipeless furnace. 1t was
planned to hold a party there in the
evening. He went home to supper
and at $40 the fire was noticed by
people passing the church.
The flames had gained such head
way that at first 1t was believed the
entire structure with its beautiful
pipe organ would be swept away.
However. the fire was checked after
a hard battle. Little damage was
done to the pipe organ.
